The opportune Urgency.

Tilden, Neb., Dec. 23.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: Humanity is mass
of individuals absolutely dependent
upon one another, in order to attain
the higher ideals, any organized seq
regation or obsession that seeks to
develop special class or a national
culture, at the expense of others. with
out the thought of benefting mankind
and effecting universal brotherhood,
is a violation of human rights. There
are certain impending reforms that
are dawning upon the race, and most
of them have endeavored to pierce
the dark clouds of prejudice, ignor-
ance and bigotry for decades.
There are certain demands that
must become International to serve
humanity. since modern demands fail
to recognize national boundaries, and
the realization of such demands in
the way of benefits would be incalcul-
able. Hence we suggest few, and
these will provoke others, that should
be seriously considered and put into
practice:
1. The abolition of the arbitrary
weights and measures, peculiar to
most every nation, and the adoption
of the metric system, which would
save eras of time, innumerable mis-
takes and raise the efficiency of the
world to a much higher degree.
2. The reconstruction of English or

Rulers and Deity.

Blair, Neb., Dec. 24.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: When nations OF
earth have been perforating each 9TH
er with leaden bullets for more than
two years, saturating virgin soil with
human blood from a cause that has
been repeatedly designated as a
"causeless war;" there is evidence OF
screw being loose" somewhere.
When we are told all must be left
to God and there is no room for argu-
ment the heather Chinese or East
Indian races would be guessing.
When any nation swears, by God,
they are right and the other fellow is
wrong, one should not consider it
sacrilege to stand behind the cross
and hurl the sword of everlasting
spirit at bunch of kings that are
rocking the boat" with laundering
cannon to establish peace.
But who has the power and cour-
age of his own convictions to arise be-
fore a war-maddened crowd and in
form them that "he that sheddeth
mans blood, by man also shall his
blood be she'd" Who has the ability
to tell some of the kings of earth
'if their enemy smite one cheek" to
place him in eternal shame by turn
ing the other also. 1t would indeed
be depraved heart that could bat
him" again II such meekness existed
IN reality There are also kings who
secure corners on foodstuffs, and
they are working within the scope of
human law, and their operations are
called big business" Some of these,
too. leave it to God" unmindful of
suffering and privation caused by
cold and cruel indifference.
When rulers of earth want the
world to know they are subservient to
mandates of higher courts, they
should attempt to practice the whole
law and gospel" and stop commercial
izing and jeopardizing freedom that
belongs to mankind. An entire dis
of nations is the first move,
and who is ready to take such step?
Perhaps the only answer is an echo
from an echoless shore as conditions
exist today. T. J. HILDEBRAND.

look after their material welfare. 1t has daWnedl
upon the educators of this country that thei
present school system primarily trains boy or
girl for profession, that an overwhelming
majority of children never enter the profession,
and that this number consequently lacks the
fundamentals necessary to make Roadway IN
industry, commerce, labor, agriculture and home
making.
Vocational training in the schools has been
advocated as the remedy. This form OF educa-
ton has been adopted by some states, Indiana
included and courses are offered wherein boys
and girls are taught the rudiments OF business
trades and commerce In many states, however,
vocational education is still unknown and thou
sands of children devote time and study to
branches that will be Of no use to them when
they are forced to leave their own homes and
make their living.
Even in those states where the innovation has
been adopted, the courses are still in an expert
mental stage, and money and effort is either
wasted or misdirected. A uniform course OF
training, general program, comprehensive
enough to adapt itself to peculiar local condi-
tions, has not been worked out.
To remedy this evil, the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States has submitted refer
endum to its members, including the local Com
mercial club, asking that the federal government
make liberal appropriations for the work, and
that federal board administer the national func-
tions in vocational training.
The Chamber of Commerce has the correct
understanding of the problem. The whole nation
is vitality interested in the correct education of
it's youth, and federal appropriations allotted
among the states on uniform basis with an adj
visory board to supervise the work. will bring
about practical vocational work.
After the war; the world will see commercial
war, rivalling in intensity and persistence the
struggle that now has stopped the wheels. of in
dustry in Europe. The conquerer will bend his
whole attention to conquering the markets of
the world. If the United States is to keep its
hold on these markets, it must have at home
trained, and prepared workers in the industries,
and the schools must be the training place for
these workers.

Clearing. the Docket.

Judge Fox is clearing the docket of civil
cases that have been pending for many years
Eighteen cases have been settled in three days.
and the judge remarks: "This is the best record
have made for several years."
One of the serious criticisms directed against
the court system of our country is that litiga-
ton is permitted to drag for many years. Wayne
county has been no exception in this respect
Judge Fox called one case that was filed twelve
years ago. The attorneys represented in the case
had in the meantime formed partnership and
they were confronted with the startling fact that
partners were opposing attorneys in the case.
Another case was filed by law firm that has
ceased partnership long since, and another piece
of litigation has been on the docket for more
than four years.
Almost all the eighteen cases disposed of in
the last three days were petty pieces of litigation
that ought not have been on the court records
more than year.
Judge Fox evidently intends to clear the dock
ct soon, for he has set thirty cases to be tried
before May 2. Litigation ought to be expedited
and the court docket kept clean.

Of Indiana are bound down under fundamental
law which they have no means of amending by
so much as a punctuation mark. -. "A consti-
tuition has got to be workable thing and when
one fails to work, why then it's time to get
another
Governor Ralston declared before the legisa-
ture of 1918 that our constitution has been out
grown. He said: New questions have arisen
that cannot be solved under the present instru-
rnent and new conditions make it necessary for
the people to assert rights they cannot exercise
Hereunder L favor constitutional con-
vention."
Elections were held in Indiana upon the ques-
ton of calling convention in 1928, 1928, 1910,
1916 and 1849 Defeated in 1916, the vote three
years later resulted in the convention which
wrote our present constitution.
Resolutions in favor Of convention in 1915
were adopted by the Indiana State Federation of
Labor, the State Teachers association, Indiana
Real Estate association, the Anti-Saloon league,
the Woman's Franchise league and the Citizens
League of Indiana. These have been reaffirmed
since the election. .-..

Hobo Mats" Dream Comes True.

Hobo Matt" Kelly, ghost of man believing
in ghost of a mine is living in the fulfllment of
a dream carried in his heart for quarter of
century. In far-off California he is enjoying the
first of the 100000 good clean gold that is
coming from the old Bodie mine, once bonanza
and then abandoned for many years worthless
mining property When the Bodie field blew up
years ago. Kelly became wanderer, but he
cherished his bunch that an undiscovered ledge
of gold was hid in the Bodie. Last fall, he re-
turned to the field, leased the property, and with
"old timers" poking fun at him, started drift
that uncovered the ledge.
Hobo Mats" story is the recital of man
sticking to his convictions and winning because
he knew his theory correct. Persistence in
the usual run of human affairs leads to success.
1t may take years before the turn comes; OBJ
stacles that seem insurmountable may thwart an
early realization of success, but somewhere and
some time will be found the golden reward.
