A bill is before the house repeating
the indeterminate sentence law. It
should be defeated. Twenty-Five states
have passed such law. Not one has
ever repealed it. Repeal would be a
reactionary step, not creditable to a
state which has done so much for the
welfare of delinquents as Minnesota.

Norman County Herald: The editor
Of the Herald believes that the ques-
ton Of patriotism is being overwork-
ed at the present. Practically every
man, woman and child, in the United
States, whether Of native or foreign
birth, is ready to defend the stars and
stripes and it seems like. poor taste
for certain ones to say whether or not
the other fellow is a patriot. What
this country needs right now is honest
cool thinking men and women. "Keep
cool' is the best advice we know of.

St. Peter Free Press: A St. Paul
representative seems to be sour on the
newspapers, as would appear from a
bill introduced by him which provides
for compelling newspapers that attack
editorialfy candidates, or print any
statement that might be construed as
operating against them, to devote the
same amount Of space to the reply Of
the candidate attacked. This kind of
law might be agreeable to political
candidates opposed to having their
fitness for the position they seek dis
cussed in public print, but we doubt
very much that the legislature has the
authority to dispose of newspaper
space without pay, and if the party
aggrieved is willing to pay for the
space he demands he can always rest
assured to be accommodated, without
the assistance Of freak legislation.

can to save my country from it's hor-
rors.' Newspapers and citizens who
have assumed the contrary have never
been disposed to regard the commoner
with philosophic understanding. 1t
has sometimes seemed as if Mr.. Bryan
did not know when to accept the logic
of a situation, but in this case he sees
the stopping point. Those who have
credited him with playing for personal
political advantage at this time are
gravely in error. The American PEG.

every energy and using all the strength
Of his position and the powers OF his
genius toward keeping the country
out of war. The people rely on him
and will follow where he leads, but
what harm can there be if those who
must pay the cost of war in blood
and tears and taxes say what they
think to their leaders at Washington.
If the conflict comes, there will be no
murmur. The people will pay, as they
have always paid throughout all his

EVILS OF MILITARY TRAINING
(Charles w. Eliot, President Emeritu

4sV4 w 1MAAA4A <2kbx 40AeAkEN1ENU
(Charles w. Eliot, President Emeritus,
Harvard University :,
My present opinion about military
training for school boys is, first, that
what is called military drill is not a
good form of physical exercise for
boys between fourteen and eighteen;
secondly, that the useful part of such
military drill as is now given in a
few private and public schools is the
"setting-up" drill, and that: this "set-
.ting-up" drill oug ht to be given to
every boy during his school life, but
in the form of calisthenic exercises,
having no military purpose in view,
and thirdly, that training in the real
work of a soldier, that is, marching
under a heavy load, digging as rapid
~ as possible in the: ground, and using
effectively rifles, machine guns, hand
grenades, bayonets, short swords,
heavy and light artillery and motor
vehicles, including aeroplanes, should
not be begun before the twentieth
year.
The Swiss, who know as well as any
people in Europe how to organize and
maintain an effective army, do not be-
gin real military training until the
twentieth year, except that they en-
courage. practice with the rifle for
boys and young men organized into
rifle clubs, and provided by the gov
eminent with ammunition ana ranges.
For these reasons am opposed to
military training for school boys.

It is Of little purpose to wear the

Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1917-03-02

The Herald eu4>or also perused the
above mentioned letter, and quite
agrees with the deduction made by the
Transcript. There are institutions in
the country where it is strictly proper
that there be military training. They
are instituted for that purpose, and
their graduates will sufficiently spread
the military spirit without it being
drilled into all the youngsters Of the
land through compulsory military
training in the schools.

The big dailies of the Twin Cities,
which have taken special charge Of
the honor of the country in this region,
and now want everybody to stand by
the president-which everybody of
course is going to do-abused the pres
ident most viciously just few months
ago, and in common with 2ther jour-
mails of their ilk throughout the coun-
try did not stand by him at all. That
was the time, if ever, to have shown
Europe unity Of purpose, but political
exigencies were in the way.
Physical exercise in the schools is
fine, and all the pupils should have it,
not leaving it only to the juvenile he
roes of the football, baseball and bas-
ketball teams. There is no more ridi-
culous as~well as pitiful sight than to
see a lot of spindle-shanked, hollow
chested, bent-shouldered youths cheer
ing on their better trained comrades.
Proper physical and setting up exercis'
es are splendid for health Of the body
and mind, There is no need whatever
of military exercises for this purpose.
It is proposed over in Todd county
to have the county Offices put up at
auction, that is, whoever agrees to do
the work for the least gets the en-.
dorsement of the organization. There
are interesting possibilities in such a
suggestion and certain dangers. There
is too much Of an opportunity for the
incompetent or the dishonest under
such a proposition. Certain Offices in
the possession Of incompetent men
would mean confusion of records and
unreasonable harm, and it is easy to
see what dishonest men might do in
some Offices.

THE LIBERTY LOAN CYCLE.

Through the sale of Liberty Loan Bonds the United States is borrowing large sums of money from its citizens it's business men, farmers, bankers, wage earners, merchants, manufac- turcrs. The government collects this money and disburses it in two ways. Part it eXpends itself and part it loans our allies. The United States and these other governments spend it for American products and American labor and it goes back directly into the hands of the people, the American business man, farmer, banker, wage earner, merchant and manufacturer.
 This is the cycle. John Smith the farmer and Thomas Brown the wage carner each has purchased a Liberty Loan Bond paying down the initial payment of per cent. On June 2Sth they made the IS per cent payment, depositing the amount in their banks
