HINTS FOR SPRING DECORATING
A St. Paul dental firm is advertising
for second hand false teeth. 1t says
that it will pay as high as two dol
lars a set for discarded teeth, and
urges the owners of them not to let
them lie around idle or to keep them
in use as paper weights on the parlor
table.
Will commercialism never cease
Can a citizen not preserve some one
of his possessions free from the faint
of trade? o tempora, mores, when
the terrible spirit of greed will hinder
us from keeping dear grandmother's

curls cut from Johnny's four-year old
head, and the dried branches of live

THE FRONTIER OF DEMOCRACY
In the admirable lecture which on
Monday evening concluded the ex-
tremely valuable series of talks on
history by Mr.. Hume, the speaker
eloquently closed his course by a
moving appeal on behalf of the pre-
? servation of the frontier. He explained
that in that preservation lies the one
hope of democracy.
Mr. Hume pointed out with clear
ness and force the incalculable SER
vice rendered the democracy by the
western frontier He explained that
with the expansion of commerce and
the spread of population, the physical
frontier had gradually been absorbed.
There is no longer physical frontier.
But the intellectual and spiritual
frontier, he said, may be kept; and it
is to this that democracy must stead
tasty hold.
May we not hope and believe that
the west will preserve and guard for
the democracy this higher form of
the west from which the physical from
tier has disappeared may develop and
maintain the intellectual and the
spiritual frontier for the democracy?
1t is a great ideal. 1t is a great chal-
lenge.
We believe that the chances of the
spiritual frontier of the nation are
very considerable because it is in the
west that strong individuality -four
ishes. The western frontier was made
possible not by masses but by individ
uals; not by societies reduced to the
dead level of monotony; but by single
figures thinking and standing alone
The great hope as well as the great
fascination of western life is that it
still fosters individuality. And it has
been throughout history the individ-
uals that have chosen ideals; stood
by them; and led others to adopt
them.
Pioneer history at every stage is a
record of the deeds, the prowess, the
principles of the individual. Pioneer
history is not the history of submits
sion, of submersion. 1t is the story of
initiative, independence, of daring
experiment Ito which we owe our
blessings and of high and single |
courage.
When New England was a pioneer
country individualism was its bless
ing. That frontier history of noble
living for noble causes was due to
the unexampled opportunity for the
training of great individuals. When
the middle west was the frontier, her
history is again that of the great in
dividua1. What is California's glow
ing story but that of great individuals,
towering personalities?
May democracy in the next decades
nave the support and protection of a
rue frontier. May the frontier be as
highly intellectual and spiritual as

nit.

Correctional methods in institu-
tions for Juvenile delinquents have
been the subject of exhaustive study
by experts in every part of the coun-
try. 1t may be that physical punish
ment is not the effective way to treat
unruly inmates, yet many humani-
tarians who have spent time and
thought on the subject agree that
such punishment irnpresses the les
son in many cases better than moral
suasion. In advocating such, physi-
cal punishment, however, it, always
has been expected that the punish
ment should not become cruelty.
Cruelty as punishment for misbe-
hayior today. is regarded as relic
of a century ago and the common
desire to inflict cruelty on no living
creature is responsible for the present
agitation for a change in the system
of local correctional institutions.

Here's to you, Jack, whose vfrile pen
Concerns itself with Mans Size Men;
Here's to you, Jack, whose stories thrill
With SAVIOR of the western breeze;
with magic Of the southland chill
Shrill winds from icy foes and seas;
You have not wallowed In the mire
And much Of tales Of foul desire,
For, though you've sung Of fight and
fraud,
OF love and hate-ashore, afioat-
You have not struck a ribald note
Nor made your art q common bawd.
Here's to you, Jack; I've loved your best
Your finest stories from the first,
Your sagas of the north and west
But what IL more-Fve loved your
worst
For, In the poorest work you do,
There's something clean and strong and
trua
a tang Of big and primal things
A sweep Of forces vast and free.
A touch Of wizardry which brings
The glamour Of the wild to me.

Unfair Tactics.

Working quietly, but with some
degree of effectiveness, certain bu-
reau chiefs and underexecutives of
the government are opposing the
movement to organize the govern
ment employees working for increased
pay.
The postoffice bill of 1912 carried
rider that permitted individual en-
ployes to appear before committees
of Congress or other bodies and
state the conditions under which they
labored in the government service.
The bill, which wiped out the So
called gag" rule, further permitted
employees to organize or band to-
gether for collective benefit. The
passage of this law, however, has not
prevented certain officials from op-
posing a movement on the part of
the employees to organize and work
together for mutual benefit.
In such opposition the officials are
shortsighted and selfish. Increased
pay and better working conditions for
the average government employe
means increased efficiency and in
creased value to the government.
None of the Federal employees who
have organized and who have bet
tered their conditions by united ef-
fort have felt it necessary to employ
any objectional methods to obtain ad-
justrnent or improvement of existing
conditions, and there is nothing to in
dicate that the employees who have
affiliated with the latest unions have
any idea of deviating from approved
methods.
The constantly increasing cost oi
living has made it imperative that the
existing scale of wages be revised and
in organizing to ask Congress to bring
about a change in the current sched'
ule the Federal employees merely are
following the path which thousands o.
workers in outside industries have
found successful.
1t seems that the official zealou.
of safeguarding the governments in
terests can accomplish more by join
ing in the movement for higher sal
aries than by impeding the efforts o
those who are. banding together tc
present their appeal to the nation.

Roosevelt Explains.
It has comel

The Colonel has explained just
why Mr.. Hughes was defeated.
No one doubted for minute that
the former Bull Moose leader sooner
or later would air his views on the
election results. 1t merely was a
matter of when and how.
With characteristic Rooseveltian
directness, the sage of Oyster Bay
fails not to hurl parting shot at
President Wilson and accompany it
with warning. 1--WE now, for the
sake of the nation, earnestly hope Mr..
Wilson will meet with every succs IS
in the task ahead of him." declares
the Colonel. Then he goes ahead to
intimate that he does not expect his
hopes to be realized, and admits Mr..
Hughes defeat still rankles in his
bosom.
1t is significant that while he be-
Titled the effect of the passage of the
Adamson eight-hour law on the cleo
ton, prior to November ?, he now
gives this as one of the reasons for
Democratic success. The Adamson
bill, he says, "unquestionably pro-
duced a great effect in Mr.. Wilson's
favor in all labor circles" And then
he gives this to be taken, perhaps,
any way you wish: at was taken as
an indication that in any conflict be-
tween capital and labor, Mr.. Wilson
would support labor, without any
overnice scrutiny of the merits OF
the case or the future effects of his
action"
The "kept-us-out-of-war" slogan
used by the Democrats, Col. Roose-
welt AYERS, was big factor in send
ing Mr.. Wilson back to the White
House, because we could not make
the issue clear to his (the voter's)
eyes" He continues, at does not
mean that he (the voter) would re-
main morally obtuse if he could be
shown in convincing fashion where
his duty lay" The Colonel adds that
the people are prone to consider the
"crimes committed in Belgium and
Armenia" as analogous to disasters
such as an earthquake or a FIRE, and
expresses the hope that shortly the
people will wake up"
The present industrial prosperity is
another reason cited by Col. Roose-
welt for the Wilson victory. In this
connection he asserts that eve are al
the moment we'll off," but adds that
the cost of living is very high. and
the government is rapidly becoming
unable to pay its debts" All of this
of course, he declares, escaped the
attention of the average voter and
was apparent only to those possess
ing vision and disinterestedness."
And when the Colonel has finished
his explanation" there seems but
one thing left to do and that is tc
teach the voter that he does moi
know his own mind, has no concep,
ton of the problems facing the nation
or of the duties the Chief Executive
owes to his people. The whole blame
for the defeat, the Colonel seems tc
believe, may be charged to failure ot
the people to have common sense.
