The Call of the Road
Toledo Blade1

A young woman student of a Wis
copsin college has published her ambi-
tion. She would be tramp, she says.
Winding roads fascinate her. Camp
smoke is the sweetest of perfumes. If
she could have her way she would
spend long, beauty absorbing days
lingering in quiet, woody groves"
Few men, just at present, would
condemn her. On these mornings of
subimated glory, they feel very much
the same way. They are troubled by
tine suspicion that of all mankind s
mistakes, work is the stupidest. If
they were not enslaved by RESPONSE
bilities, hobbled by conventions, hamp-
cred by doubts as to the source of
next weeks bread and potatoes, they
would, most of them, tell the boss to
go to blazes and just tramp away to
the handiest fishing stream.
To be a tramp is to be free. That
is the one priceless thing about such
a life. But to be a tramp. one must
also have a dull conscience. indiffer-
ence toward dirt, something that
amounts to talent at enduring cold
rains, the sleeping accommodations of
jails and the hard soles of railway
brakemen. The person who can
weigh the vagrant's freedom against
the vagrant's discomforts. distresses
and chances at hard labor enforced,
and vote for freedom is cut out for
a tramp. All other persons are dis
qualified.

Postmaster General and Congress

tF'rom Philadelphia Inquirerl
In spite of the apparent willingness
OF Assistant Postmaster General
Blakslee to be the goat" in the con-
II Ioversy between Congress and the
Post Office Department the issue is
really one between the Legislative
branch of the government and the
Postmaster General. Mr.. Burleson
has assured Senators Bankhead and
Townsend that he sincerely regrets"
the activities of his assistant in
creating a lobby to defeat Congress
sional measures, but every person
familiar with the situation is aware
that the measures in question are the
ones that have met with the disap-
proVal of the Postmaster General.
The truth of the matter is that Mr.
Burleson has assumed to be an auto
crat and a dictator when in reality
he is merely an appointive officer who
is bound to abide by the actions of
Congress. But the head of the Post
Office Department is not to be too
severely censured. He has merely fol-
lowed the lead of the President who
has time and again whipped Con-
gress into line whenever that body has
not bent itself to his sweet will.

REALITIES OF SOCIALISM

TN the House of Representatives the
other day, Meyer London, of New
York, the only Socialist member,
was discussing a bill to regulate the
government of Porto Rico, and he said
that the terms of the measure were
such that Porto Ricans would be
justified in assassinating the officers
whom this country might send down
there. There was much commotion
at this declaration, the words were
taken down" preparatory to a vote
of censure, and London withdrew
them in order to escape this punish
ment.
Shortly thereafter Beimer, Socialist
nominee for the Presidency was MAX
inG; speech in New York and he de-
clared that If this country should find
itself in war the Socialist laboring
men would see to it that the munition
factories were not allowed to work,
thus paralyzing the attempts of our
forces to do battle.
These utterances are the stern
realities of Socialism. They represent
the ultimate of Socialistic doctrine
Whoever embraces Socialism, even
philosophically, may expect to find
himself sooner or later occupying the
same position as London and Beimer
II is well, therefore. to avoid the
tendency to evil. Such a tendency is
found very markedly in some of the
legislation which the present ad-
ministration is endeavoring to force
through Congress. The shipping bill,

They have seen other generations

What, to-day's students are asking, is
the difference between success and

Summer Winds

OF all the winds of summer time that
blow,
think the sweetest are the ones that
go
At early morningtide adown the hill
And up the vale, while yet the world
is STILL
Bending the tops of trees a bit to pass
And ripple into waves across the
grass.
Surely the very spirit of the year,
Incarnate Summer, from the hilltop
here,
Had breathed into the air a lifting
song
That gathered sweetness as it passed
along!
And out into the valley, unconfined,
Swept on and on, till it became a
wind
And sometimes. from vision
haunted night
L waken at the mornings faintest
light,
Or murmur of that gently
breeze,
Stealing at dawn across the listless
trees,
And wander through the forestland,
until
L hear the song of Summer from the
hill.-Garnett Laidlow Eshew,
in Book News Monthly.

things their own way" to detract from
This young man is recognized as a
young man of good character anE
high ideals by all, but we think a
mistake was made when he was
elected as a supervising principal to
head a system of ten schools. We do
not think it good policy to have 4
man in charge of such important AsE
fairs who has had so little experiences.
Tc be put in authority over ten
other teachers who have taught frous

pcsterous. The assistant to this prin-
cipal has had eight terms experience
and possesses by far greater scholaSs
tic qualifications.

so ungrateful as to question the wis
dom of this august body have signed
a remonstrance to the strength of
over one hundred fathers, taxpayers
and voters. This petition asking for
an experienced principal will be pre-
sented at the regular meeting of the
Board on Tuesday evening, June 6.
We earnestly hope that the board
at this time can lay aside all personal
feelings and matters of personal
friendship and act wisely and
judiciously If this cannot be done. we
expect all these men, who have taken
such an interest at this time, will re-

THE BREWERS BULLETIN

WYE have read from stem to
wv stern" the latest issue of the
Bulletin of the Pennsylvania
State Brewers Association. So far as
we have been able to decide the Bulle-
tin is opposed to prohibition because
prohibition always increases the con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages. In
other words, the Bulletin appears to be
striving nightly to prevent the adop-
ton of prohibition laws because the
brewers are opposed to increasing the
output of their own breweries. A sim
pier and less expensive way, it occurs
to us, would be for the brewers to close
the breWeries.

Home Economies
[ Buffalo News1

The American housewife is under
indictment.
The crime of which she is accused
is wastefulness, and the garbage can
is being subpenaed as chief witness.
Senator Smoot, speaking in the
Senate the other day on the subject
Of preparedness, stated that the Am
erican garbage can was the fattest in
the world.
The charge is no new one. The
world over Americans are noted for
their extravaganza. Large hearted
ness, free handedness are well-known
American characteristics.
The American standard of living is
the highest in the world. 1t is also
an established fact that it is not the
high cost of living that causes distress
so much as the cost of high living,
and the appalling waste is so common
in most homes.
Interesting Investigations of gar
hage cans have been made in some
of our cities and the waste uncovered
has been a revelation.
In many cases nourishing, palatable
and wholesome food has been found

that should have been used.
The answer to this indictment may
be that John abhors rejuvenated
dishes" To certain extent that may
be true. Few men love "resurrected
rcast" in the form of hash" But
there are a thousand and one little
tricks in culinary art and kitchen cum
ming that insure the using up of these
unconsidered trifies.
The fault lies not altogether in
John" but in the ignorance of the
housewife in this kitchen craftsman
ship.
Senator Smoot said that in a, short
investigation he found that domestic
science was not taught in any one of
six nationally known colleges for
women. And in nearly all these" he
said. -four years of Latin Is positively
required" The moral is obvious.
