Ignorance.


 Three Bsbee men, several nights sitting at
 local lunccounter and very naturally the allabsorb- ing topic conversation The question discussed was whether or United States should protect itself against All of the young, one being thirty One appeared be of Irish descent while the other average Americans.
 'I think a shame for the United States be putting this row. just pull chesnuts the fire" declared he of Irish descent England hog and is using this country its purposes Just look what Britain did with the Irish. Why she even sept 5OOOO Irishmen into the Western for gun fodder when the first started".
 cant see the United States getting Mexico, declared of tle average Americans Mexico has right to resent this countrys activities Why, didn't steal lot of her territory in the war of 1S4S?"
 Just this point the third young fellow remembered having somewhere. time. something about the United States buying parcel of land Mexico The denied the allegation ended his marks by saying that or Carranza, either one could be bought by small piece of change"
 This merely small part the conversation. highly interesting instructive if the ignor- ance be instructive. If the seeing hearing of something which ignorance called enghtening then the whole community should have heard.
 The three young appeared be average Neither said seen did either repeat aint often. All appeared though they have been acquainted with school to some slight degree They the aver wage earning American youths, bent spend ing their daily return than doing the work to obtain it. They complainers. kckers and udg- ing of the conversation as unpatriotc lot as ever walked
 Ask the average European, particularly German or a Frenchman his country. If he be young man his ideas may some of the freshness of youth and it's peculiar viewpoint. but may assured that his countrys history will be fairly authentic his points will be well taken; has informed himself has been informed and lastly that he makes rash assertions about subjects which he knows little about
 Take the young Irishman first cited, fine example of what should Undoubtedly he has had has chance for. least school education He does look as though he had been weighed down by work when youngster. n all probability had preferred the streets to the school
 But look at his present condition while he is COIL demning England and declaring that Britain is using this nation. He is earning about $6 day. money than he received before Yet he maintains that Germany is being given the of the bargain America We wonder how long he, else n this great camp of ours, getting s6 or any other price for their labor had President Wilson the other leaders of American thought bowed to nsstant ma jorty, made up of Hyphens and malcontents. Unlike Bryan, most Americans mouths liabilities assets They have to work a living
 It does strange however, that with all of our much vaunted learning. great school systems progress every line should find the younger genera tion poorly advised the history of young a na tion the United States. To say that is indeed crying shame is vocing bromidic simlie In argume with Frenchman a German average young mer lost They tell who IIonus Wagner is and per haps what Ty Cobb batted last season. but when to telling of the that led up the Mexican wal and the final settlement these boys as much dis position for information Salt River Valley hog would for Juniper Flats grazing.
 Surely the nation especially younger generation needs the hyperdermc shot it's sln something tc better understanding what America. is anC what it means.
