In the county school notes this week
will be found recent letter from the
attorney general. 1t is unfortunate
that LANCER has found it necessary
to reverse himself, despite the lofty
patriotic motives given. The law is
plain and distinct, and to admit the
right of Langer's action, we must ad-
NIT that circumstances make it right
for man to give different meanings
to certain written laws, as the wish
becomes father to the thought. Not
alone will this change throw the
school organizations back to great
degree so far as the compulsory
school attendance is concerned, but
the attorney general will unwittingly
make the various county superintend-
ents the goats with the people. And
if the theory of the wish being father
to the thought prevails with LANCER
we wonder how far the same condi-
tions influenced him in his famous
side-step Of the H. B. AZ constitutional
ity proposition? We wonder if that
had anything to do with his excuse
that Frazier used to try to throw out
the board of regents so the league
could fill the jobs.

Wonderful changes are taking place
in our country today, with but pass
ing show of interest. Three years
ago, universal service would have been
howled down as though it were the
plague. Today, the government is
quietly going about putting it into
service, without the blare of trum-
pets or the clash of cymbals. No one
in particular has made it an issue. It's
simply necessary, and that's all there
is about it. The was in Europe has
certainly done much to change the
views Of the world on what can and
what cannot happen.

Robinson, of the supreme court, APP
pears to be making a double record.
On legal questions where his personal
eccentricities do not befog his vision,
he seems to be doing well. However,
for instance, where he must give up
any of his personal liberty ideas,
etc., a stone wall of law couldn't stop
him. The pool-room episode of last
winter explains that. Then, too, his
ideas on religion are unique and strict
ly his own. His last Saturday night
letter dwells ut length on the fallacies
of the Bible. Something seems to
have excited him over the story of
Jonah and the whale. Then. too, u
frequent expression of his refers to
talking like whale" For some rea.
son, the old Judge is touchy on the
matter of whales. In addition, he
delights in pulling scoop" on the
rest of the Court by publishing his
verdict in cases tried before them be.
fore the others have come to a decis
ion. In one instance, it seems that hi
made such speed that he published his
opinion on an important case before
the Court had considered the briefs Of
both sides. In last weeks letter hi
also devotes some considerable spac,
to the devil, assuring his readers thai
when he passes on, he will cordial!
greet the devil and will expect a lik,
cordial greeting in return.

Congresswoman jeanette Rankin,
of Montana, first woman to ever sit in
Congress, took her seat Monday amid
cheering, and on Thursday night of
the same week had been forced to I'M
ergo the ordeal that has for ages tried
mems souls. And, while the result
has nothing to do with the cause Of
suffrage itself, it must be admitted
that the first national incident thereby
developed adds no glory to the cause,
Miss Rankin, one of the members of
the house of representatives charged
with the duty of declaring whether
this nation should undergo the He'll of
the great European conflict, or wheth
er it should turn tail like whipped
cur-either most unsatisfactory
course, surely-failed to respond at
all to her name in the first roll-call.
When the clerk called the roll of the
ones who had not voted for one reason
or another, just before the final vote
was announced, Miss Rankin is said
to have finally totte1ed to her feet
and sobbed out, 81 want to stand by
my country, but can't vote for war"
And she could say no more. The
clerk recorded her against the meas
ure.
True the strain was great, but it
must be met by the great. A woman
who wouldbe congresswoman should
be willing to face that ordeal. Her
vacillating manner is not all that is to
be noted: Her sentiments themselves
tell tale. 81 want to stand by my
country, but l can't vote for war" Is
MT the situation pitiful? There sits
in Congress woman who is honest
before God and upright before the
world, but she. undertook more than
she knew when she aspired SO high.
Not all women would have weak
ened as did Miss Rankin; but the ac-
tion of Miss Rankin, who happened
to be the one. will be looked to for
years as the type.
It is not fair to try the suffrage
cause by the showing of its first pro-
duct in the national Congress, but in
reality such will be the case, gener-
ally speaking.

The United States has reached the

The United States has reached the
point where it is again engaged in
great war. AS yet, the fact has hard
~ been brought home to US. Especial
ly in the smaller towns and the coun-
try of the Northwest, there is but lit
tie to remind US in daily life Of the
great events that are taking place. In
the larger cities, however, and in the
communities where there are impor-
tant ammunition works, etc., the
American people already understand.
In addition, any day will bring news
that will rock the nation from the At
lantc to the Pacific. What it will be,
none of us can foretcll. 1t is safe
bet, however, that Germany will not
miss the first opportunity to strike q
blow that will make talk throughout
the world. We can look for something
spectacular rather than actually SER
ious in the larger sense. 1t may be a
surprisingly wcll-dcveloped organiZa
ton in Mexico and an attack on our
border. 1t may be sudden submarine
raid on some port. 1t may be an at
tempt to terroriZe the nation by an
air attack of some kind. Or it may be
the sinking of vessels only. But look
for the worst. We have been taught
in the last three years that the Ger
mans are resourceful, and that their
great delight is the accomplishments
bordering on the theatrical.
Remember how suddenly one day a
German war submarine audaciously
poked it's nose up out of one of our
harbors, how it gave the enemy suffi-
cicnt time to determine it's wherea-
bouts, and how calmly it made its way
out. And what it's important mission
to thus tempt it's enemies we have
never heard. Remember, too, the big
Deutschland that twice steamed into
our eastern ports with cargoes from
Germany. And, too, the daring APP
pam incident.
We state these things that our peo-
pie may be warned. Another thing:
Generally speaking, the German-born
citizens, torn between sympathy for
the Fatherland and duty to their
adopted country, are with the United
States for better or for worse. But
there are exceptions. The occasional
Prussian bud will be found whose
Americanism is but thin veneer.
And when the unexpected happens,
look out for him. He may lead 9th
ers into doing or saying that which
might bring trouble untold.
If the first fortunes of war bring
reverses to our cause, let us keep cool
If we may be permitted to do those
things that will gladden. the hearts Of
millions of loyal Americans, it is but
natural that our demeanor will reflect
our happy spirits. But, remember
through it all, especially where the
population is so mixed, that perhaps
our thoughtless words or acts may be
bringing untold misery to others at
our elbows. We believe that any per-
son who will do the least thing to
make harder to bear the lot of those
whose sympathies are torn by con-
iicting emotions, cannot be too severe
ly dealt with. On the other hand
with our country in fierce and ter.
rible war, traitorous words or acts
from whatever source should receiv.
quick and sue punishment, and with
full measure, at that.
