system of education. We have millions
o. professional teachers, but all Of
them stick to the same old absurdi-
ties The Rockefeller General Educa-
ton board will open a modern school
in connection with the Teachers col
lege of Columbia university The cur
riculum will include nothing for which
no better reason than tradition can be
assigned. Isn't it surprising that this
reform has come not from profession
al educators, but from business men?
ParsOn Jasper, the negro preacher
who became famous with the declar-
alton that the sun do move" was the
! type of man who never changes his
opinions. And a very poor type was
ParsOn Jasper. A man should change
| his opinions as often as he ACQUIRES
newer and better information; every
intelligent man does, as a matter of
course. 1 once believed that it was
physical impossibility to send mes
sages between distant places without
wires; | was willing to bet it could
not be done. / now know it would be
foolish to continue in my old conten-
ton, and render myself ridiculous.
One Of the charges against the car
of Russia, lately deposed, is that he
was the victim of every superstition.
and>the dupe of every charlatan. Sup
erstitiOn is being cOmbatted more gen
orally and effectively lately than ever
before; that there are charlatans in
superstition, and that they have vic
TINS, is everywhere a recognized fact
in 1917. What is superstition? 1t may
be worth while for you to spend qui-
ct hour sometime in deciding. Have
you much or little Of it? And do char
latans rob you because of yocr false
notions? Have your neighbors the
same contempt for your superstition,
IN small way, that the Russian peop-
lie had for their ruler in a large way?
Nations are furnishing superstition
and its consequent folly; the world
now is full OF it. And if superstition
is fault in a ruler, it is a fault in
an individual.

Recently ran across a man in a Pull

time, although the room was full of
men who were more important than
ne was. When he could think of no.
thing to say, he whistled; and once

steps, although he couldn't dance. I
never saw man so wrapped up in

One OF the magazines, in an article
by high thinking man, refers to
manufactures and commerce as Glow

higher than manufactures and com

the lower activities are really the

FAILED IN THE HUNT

We do not mean that the rabbit
hunt was a failure on last Monday,
but that II. W. (Harp) Wilson failed
to get rabbit, as he lost his valuable
gun in some manner while enroute to
the hunting grounds. The gun, which
was a very valuable one. was found
by w. H. Bolton and brought to the
Republican office, for which place
Mr.. Wilson made a Decline as soon
as he reached town and recovered his
gun, not even giving us a chance to
get in on little advertising.

WHAT CHANCE DOES
SAMMY TAKE?

The Military Hospitals Commits
sion at Quebec has kept an account
of how Canadian troops Jared i'm the
war, and has compiled some inter
esting statistics based upon its OBJ
servations and Investigations.
Addressing Canadian mothers and
fathers the commission says:
If your boy goes to the front:
He has 20 chances of coming
home to one of being killed.
He has SO chances of recovering
from wound to two chances of dy-
ing.
He has only one chance in 500 of
losing a limb.
He will live five years longer be-
cause of physical training.
He is freer from disease in the
army than in civil life.
He has better medical at the front
than at home.
In other wars from one to 10 men
died from disease to one from bull
lets.
In this war one man dies from
disease to every ten from bullets. II
is less wasteful in life than any other
war in history.
Only ten per cent of all Canadians
disabled for further service have
been physically unable to engage in
their former occupations.
If your boy is one of the ten per
cent the government will re-educate
him in another vocation at which he
can earn a living.
IAncn'f that iS n
danger free occupation and that life
in the trenches is as comfortable as
in the easy chair at home here in
Iowa, but it makes it appear less
fearsome than it has been painted
over here, especially by pro-Germar
socialists, pacifists and German born
traitors in America.-Des Moines

DON'T LET THE SPIDER
SPIN A WEB

Mark Twain says: when I was
editing the Virginia City Enterprise,
writing copy one day and mining the
next, a superstitious subscriber once
wrote and said he found spider in
his paper. Was this good or bad
luck?
II answered him in our answers
to correspondents column as follows
"'Old Subscriber-The finding Of
spider in your copy of the Enter
prise was neither good luck nor bad.
The spider was merely looking over
our pages to find out what merchant
was not advertising, so that it could
spin a web across his door and lead
free and undisturbed existence for
ever AFTER"
