This community had one of the best
,ion,-sure enough elementary train
;ng for the boy and the girl-that has
been offered here in many a day in
he address of Professor Parks. 1t
to be regretted that every country
10Y and girl and every father and
mother in the rural sections of the
country could not hear it. 1t was a
>lea for training that should be re-
nembered.
Those who have the school interests
If this city and this county in their
charge should never let up till they
give every boy and every girl within
The bounds Of the county the fullest
opportunities. We owe it to our chill
dren, all of them. Riches in lands,
automobiles and houses are nothign
to be compared to good elementary
schooling for them.
We can have it. Trained teachers
who work at a fair remuneration and
who do their work well because they
are sure that we appreciate their eff
forts, can give us that training. A
single school system with an educa
tor at its head and nothing to do but
to- provide better schools is our great
est need in this line. We say we have
good city schools, but they are diff
fcrent from our county schools and
run independently and two salaries for
two superintendents are paid by our
city and county There is no need
of this.
The country schools are entitled to

A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

Secretary Daniels has commenced a
crusade against venereal diseases in
the army and navy and in recent
address in Chicago handled the ques-
ton without gloves. He declared
that during the last statistical year
men Of the navy lost 141,37S days
through sickness from a small group
of absolutely preventable diseases,
diseases contracted in sin. "This
means" the secretary declared, that
every day throughout the year there
are 456 men disabled by some dis
graceful malady." There is no need
to assume mock modesty in matters
of this kind. 1t is an evil that must
be stamped out and one Of the surest
ways to stamp it out is to taboo the
double standard of society. The man
who is of unclean life is just as much
a menace to society as the woman who
is his mistress and he should be made
to feel the disgrace equally with her.
Why is it that the young man known
to be impure is welcome in society
while the young woman OF the same
kind of character is ostracized and
avoided by good people OF both sexes!

FRANCE STRONG AND DEFIANT.

Paul Scott MoWrer, a correspond
ent of the Des Moines Capital and the
Chicago Daily News, in writing from
Somewhere in France" says the re-
ports circulated in this country that
France is bled white" are falsehoods
True, France has borne tremendous
burden in this war. She has made
more sacrifices in blood than any 9TH
er nation, save Russia, and compared
with her numbers her sacrifices are
greater than those of the great slav
empire. Mr.. Mowrer declares that the
French army today has greater power
and better equipment than ever be-
fore. It is more numerous than at
the beginning of the war. The NOR
ale of the men is excellent and the
three years of war has Weeded out
weaklings. The French soldiers to-
day, while ready to welcome a peace
satisfactory to France, are ready, aye
anxious, to fight on until victory is
won. The spirit of France, according
to Mr.. Mowrer, is unbroken and will
remain buoyant and firm to the end.
Assistance from America will be vel
come, but the American people need
not feel that they are sending soldiers
to France to assist an army that is
broken and discouraged. France is
erect and full of good cheer. She is
ready for any eventuality that may
come and feels that her army is able
to cope successfully with any force
that the Germans can possibly match
against her. Peace would be accept
able, but it is not courted and will
not be welcome as a compromise.
France feels as sure of victory as any
nation can and is ready to make sac
rifices necessary to achieve 1t.

Secretary Daniels, be it said to his
credit, is vigorously opposed to the
double standard and is not delicate in
denouncing it. The medical profess
sion, he declared, must share its par:
OF the blame for the objectionable
prudery that endured a fostering
evil rather than have it exposed and
eradicated." In the judgment OF the
Freeman Journal a person suffering
from a venerea1 disease Of CONTACT
GUS type should be put under quar-
tine and isolated until the disease is
absolutely cured. In the navy in 1916
eleven per cent of the men were adj
mitted to treatment for venereal dis
eases and in the army better than Z
per cent were so treated. The gov
eminent ought to take drastic meas
ures to stamp out the malady, thus
rendering the men in the service al
least ten per cent more efficient. II
is worth any price it may cost.
