NOT TOO EARLY TO FIND OUT.

President Wilson intimated to the
European powers that it is becom-
ing more and more difficult for the
United States to keep out of the Eu-
ropean war. That he was elected on
the slogan that he had kept us out
of war and therefore. by Implication,
would continue to do so, apparently
was not taken into consideration.
However, we can all agree that it
was most laudable in the chief exc
cutive to make an attempt to find QUE
what the Europeans are fighting
about, so that, if We do take part in
it, we will know what we are fighting
for.

Two colleges OF the state to discon-

"A WORD TO OUR EDUCATORS.
The Mitchell Republican, moved
by a good, sound, h ealthy and whole
some interest in the morality of the
young and the good name OF the ed
vocational institutions of the state,
has had considerable to say on the
matter of educational clinics the
general effect of which is that sex
ual examinations of young women in
high schools and normal schools by
educators who are not physicians
is potentially bad business.
"EXpecting, doubtless to find all
the educators of South Dakota pos
sessed OF sufficient comprehension
of their responsibilities to see this
thing in the proper light the editor
of the Republican invited large
number of them to write their opin-
ions of the principle of sexual eX-
aminations OF pupils by teachers.
Some of them replied in way that
showed they w ere gifted with COM
, mon sense. Others managed to as
semble words together and say just
nothing at ALL Others We're quite
wholly iIarticulate. But still others
actually approved the principle and
the practice of medical men do
ing violence to girlhood's most prec-
ious possession, her instructive mod
esty. We fancy the Mitchell editor
had the surprise of his life when a
president of one OF the state normal
schools approved the principle. We
know we did.
it does not matter that parents
have consented to such clinics as a
state university professor has been
conducting. Utter lack of sense dis
tinguishes some parents from others.
That is why so many girls go wrong,
and one reason why so many boys
go to prison. The state educationa:
institutions have a responsibility
they cannot shift to parents. Parents
may permit children to drink beer
! in the home: but no school will per-
nit it under its roof. South Dakota
might as we'll right now, it will have
to eventually, firmly take the stand
that no educator in the employ Of
the state shall ever under any err
cumstances conduct educational
| clinics of the nature under discus
] sion. What a few thoughtless par
ents may desire is not for an instant
to be considered. If there are any
parents who do not care to leave a
thing of this kind in the hands of a
/ physician, let them call in the livery
man or the grocer. Educators in the
employ of the state cannot be per-
mitted to engage in anything OF the
! kind. Let the parents not the state
! assume all the responsibility.
eve are informed that the profess
sor who has been conducting 'educa-
tional clinics of this character has
| been required to stop it. For that let
| an outraged public sentiment be duly
grateful. And now let the outraged
public sentiment ask something else
"If there are any educators in the
state who are still stupidity unable to
tsee the point in this affair, let them
keep their views to themselves and
impair their usefulness to the state
| institutions"

The German newspaper which de-
clares that this war has killed itself
and that the people even of the Eu-
roDean powers Will no longer tolerate
a policy of International bluffing, is
expressing profound truth concern
ing the conflict. 1t will be found in
the news columns of today's issue. 1t
is we'll worth reading. And it is high
ly significant as showing a real re-
'versal of opinion in Europe on the
subject of militarism. 1t indicates fur
Their that, while the United States is
turning its face backward toward the
Middle Ages under a cry for mon

the thought of Europe is smoldering
into revolt against the whole policy

international differences can be set

GRAFT WITH NO APOLOGIES

Congressman Frear of Wisconsin
recently made speech in the House
in denunciation of the proposed con-
tinuation of the wicked waste of pub
lie money in pork barrel appropria-
tons.
Frear says:
Taxpayers overburdened with
public-building characterization and
waterway pork barrels, amounting
in 6e aggregate to over 100000
coo during the year 1916, have the
right to rebel The 1916 river and
harbor bill amounted to S42,SS6, 900,
the so-called flood-control and land
reclamation bills to S5O,60O,O0O and
the 1916 public-building bill already
reaches $35,000.000. Over half of
that total, it can be demonstrated, is
to be wasted on useless, extravagant
or private projects and will be i'm
properly drawn from the Public
Treasury by three omnibus bills dur
ing this session of congress, with 9TH
er equally extravagant bills to fol-
low
1t is further pointed out by Frear
that it now costs the government an
nually about 1924 on the average to
rent postoffice quarters, which will
cost over s3,315 annually for MAIN
tenance when $4,000 buildings are
erected for such postoffices, and s4,-
$40 annually when $4,000 build
ngs are put up. Thus, not only is the
public treasury looted of great sums
for needless construction of post
office buildings, but every time one
of these wasteful federal buildings
is put up, it multiplies by. from four
to six times the annual cost of main
tanning postoffice quarters.
The extent to which money is de-
! liberately squandered son these pub
lie buildings is shown by the follow
ing few instances cited by Congress
man Frear:

more pronounced form, of her first
effort to bring the war to an end.
And why shouldn't there be a
peace conference? II an agreement is
possible, wouldn't it be better for
everybody if it We're made now in
stead of next year or the year after?
The Entente is sensitive because it
has had the worst Of it in the issue
of arms. But certainly, if the Entente
is as we'll prepared to go on with the
war as is professed it need not accept
any really repugnant terms. At the
worst, a peace conference could only
fail to end the war. The war could
do no worse than go on. And even if
a council of belligerents failed to
reach an agreement, it perhaps might
clarity the international situation as
to at least some questions. it is in
conceivable that there would not be
at least partial concurrence of de-
mands and concessions. THAT would
simplify the dispute, and narrow the
causes for which the war would go
on. That would in turn make pos
sible an earlier decision as to the re-
naming issues.
Only downright enmity to the
cause of peace as such could account
for an Entente refusal to enter into
negotiations with the Teutonic allies.

1t was not at all surprising that
Great Britain was at first disagree
ably impressed by President Wilson's
note to the belligerents OH the sub
ject of their war.
In the first place, 1t is CALLING to
British pride to be subjected even
to the appearance OF cross-examtn-
alton concerning her activities in
world politics.
In the second place, it is disturb
ing to the SNUG satisfaction with
which the Briton traditionally re-
CARDS the policies Of his own govern
ment.
But there is something still more
Objectionable in Wilson's note. Just
put yourself in the place of the Eng
lishman for a moment. Suppose that
for two years and half you had
been shouting at the top of your
lungs and through every possible
agency to reach the ears of the world,
that you were fighting war of hui
manity. And then suppose at the end
of that time you received a request
from the head Of the greatest neutral
power on earth inquiring seriously
what you were fighting for anyway,
wouldn't you be jolted?
But perhaps just that sort of jolt
+. is what the British need to be awak-
ened. Ghey have been repeating for
so long that they are fighting for
humanity that there may be danger
iof their actually believing it after a
while.

ing for humanity. Wilson'S request
for information concerning their OBJ
