that by SO much is your responsibility

Hands That Are Idle.

In his address to the German Reich
stag, Chancellor Won Bethmann- Holweg
gave to the world this epigram:
Hands that are idle assist the en-
envy The Democratic party expert
enced the truth of that statement after
the Wilson German tariff law had filed
the land with idle hands. The Wilson
Underwood law filed the country with
idle hands in 1914, but in 1916 the
European war was giving them EN-
ployment at unheard of wages, and the
enemy Of free trade, but the friend OF
American labor, lost much of their as
sistanee. In 1920 the enemy Of the
Wilson party will renew the struggle,
to dislodge that party from power.
If the present tariff law has had an
opportunity again to prove itself, the
enemy will have the assistance of
many idle hands.

Home and School Associations.

There is no other cooperative
agency SO much needed by the school
as the hone,'' declares Franklin B.
Dyer, superintendent of the public
schools of Boston, Mass, in a com
munication to the United States
Bureau of Education, Department of
the Interior. fsThere never was a
time when the need was so great for
intimate connection between the home
and school as at present. The condi-
tions of modern life are so complex
opportunities for good and evil are sc
numerous, the occupations of the home
are SO meagre unless they are related
to the school, and the work of the
school is so abstract unless it has 9
practical outcome in the home, that il
is imperative for parents and teachers
to get together.
"The cooperation should not b.
confined to a sentimental regard anG
respect of each for the other. The
training of each must supplement the
other. Such cooperation can come
about in no other way so well a:
through organizations that bring par
ents and teachers into friendly an6
frequent association. The problems Of
character building, of habit formation
of training, of vocational counsel, il
fact all the questions that pertain tt
the early period of child life, are o.
equal Importance to parents ant
teachers. -
Superintendent Dyer has recently
given his endorsement to a plan o.
citizen cooperation with the cit,
school board. This plan provides fol
an advisory council of citizens to con
sist of local committees to represent
each school district, appointed by tn,
school and home associations of til,
| district. This plan,' says Superin
| tendent Dyer, S'involyes the ultimat,
organization of home and school or
ganization in every school district il
Boston Tt is expected that tn,
school committee will designate tn,
director of Extended Use in Publ,
Schools, or some other official, to as
sist in the organization and the acti
yifies of the home and school associa
tions wherever they do not now exist

The Literacy Test.

A patriotic and useful American,
who is doing his part in the building
of the nation as head of one of our
colleges, once said: My father was a
Hungarian immigrant who could
neither read nor write. Do you think
I could favor literacy test? There
is the outstanding unanswerable argu-
ment which has risen to meet the CON
science and the intelligence of every
president to whom this literacy test
has come for approval. President
Cleveland vetoed it; President Taft
vetoed it; President Wilson vetoed it
once and now vetoes it again, saying:
cit is not test of character, of
quality or Of personal fitness, but
would operate in most cases merely as
a penalty for lack of opportunity in
the country from which the alien seek
ing admission came. The opportunity
to gain an education is in many cases
one Of the chief opportunities sought
by the immigrant in coming to the
United States.o
Tt is difficult to escape this argu-
meRt. Certainly we want the imni-
grant who comes from high motives
rather than merely from the wish to
make money. Almost certainly he will
stand with those who cherish the ideals
which have made this country strong.
We suppose there have been few
adopted citizens as loyal and useful as
Jacob Riis, and his view was that the
Fright kind of immigrant is not the
man who can read and write or the
man who cannot, but the man who
wants to do right, and the only wrong
kind of immigrant is the man who
wants to do wrong.
We have an immigration problem.
There is much reason for believing
that we have not handled this vital
thing well. But to impose a iteracy
test because it is not easy to devise
a test of character and fitness is shirk-
ing our work as intelligent Americans.
Tt is not living up TO the ideals which
have made us a great nation; it would
be to a great degree confession Of
failure which we are not yet ready to
admit-The Milwaukee Journal.
And even giving full credit to the
excellent argument of the Journal
and the Journal usually has a good
argument-we can not help believing
that the stand of President Wilson
is considerable different from the
stand Of "Professor' Wilson. How
ever, we all live to learn and this
may be as true of president Of
the United States as of the meekest
of his subjects.

A Competition in Human Interest.

Why blame the village pool room
because the boys and young men spend
their evenings there? They enjoy the
click of the pool balls and the rag
time music Of the player piano. Why
find fault at the swapping of unseemly
stories at the general store at Hank :
Corner? The men have good time
and it is a great treat for the small
boy. Why raise howl at the open
ing Of dance hall at Peers Greek or
"moviep theatre at Bensons'a The
people who back these enterprises in
response to the social needs of rural
life have scored against the church of
Jesus Christ at an important point;
they have catered to human interest
and have gotten results.
The need Of opportunity for recrea-
tion in rural communities has been
recognized first by those who CONNER
cialize it and in 50 doing put it on the
plane which brings the largest fnan-
cial returns. The country church,
whose deal is to have Sunday services
more or less regularly, a Sunday school
that closes during the winter, and an
annual revival meeting cannot hope to
compete with such enterprises. Nor
can any rural church ignore such needs
as these supply. Nothing that touches
for good or evil the life of rural
population can be alien to the country
church whose ministry is successful.
Boys and girls are as human as their
parents were. Shall they not be pro
tected by the high ideals which come
from relating religion to social life, to
education, to recreation, and to the
varied interests of the days work
If the city working girls problem is a
too small wage to enable her to live
right, is it not true that for the
country girl the problem is that Of
supplying sufficient wholesome recrea-
ton to occupy the time and energy
which otherwise gets a wrong trend?
Should not the avenue of human In
terest as means of reaching the
heart be welcomed by the church Of
Jesus Christ in rural communities p
The Church Center.

An Issue to Keep in Mind.

Had the south no more votes in
the electoral college than fairly belong
to it, says the Philadelphia Inquirer,
" Mr.. Hughes and not Mr.. Wilson
would have been our next president. y
True, and if the south had not been
permitted to count the negro while
refusing him the right to vote, Mr..
Cleveland would not have been elected
in 1884 and, Of course, would not have
been in the running in 1892. Four
years ago, because of Republican divi-
sion, Mr.. Wilson s vote in the electoral
college was sufficiently large outside
of the solid south to have elected him.
This year, he could not have won with
out those spurious electoral votes
in the south
The situation raises a serious prob
lem for Republicans. How long shall
we continue to enter political cam
paigns with the dice loaded against us
IN defiance Of the constitution? 1t is
more than twenty-five years since any
of our statesmen have given attention
to this question. In 1890 Senator
Lodge, then IL the house, succeeded in
passing the so-called force bill''
through that body, but it was talked
to death in the senate. The Republi-
can party came into being to free the
colored man from slavery. The legis-
lation of reconstruction days was
largely framed to give the colored man
the political benefits of the freedom
which war had won for him. "Grand-
father laws and other means even
more unlawful have deprived the
colored man of his civil rights in the
solid south-yet the Republican party
sits silent and inactive in the face
of conditions which handicap it
TO the extent Of more than a
hundred electoral votes.
In the 1916 campaign Senator Lodge
called attention to southern DONNA
ton in present-day politics and drew
down upon himself the lash of the
president IS tongue for so doing. Mr..
Lodge has been reelected. We hope
he will not lose sight Of the facts and
of the. issue in spite of the continued
Democratic majority in the senate

The proposed law to eliminate the
Office Of divorce counsel in Wisconsin
counties should be defeated. The plan
proposed is to turn this work over to
the district attorney. There is one
grave objection to this plan. It is the
fact that the district attorney, in most
counties, now has more than he can do.
Another equally good reason for the
defeat of the law is the fact that
granting divorces is a mighty import
ant proposition and the divorce court
should have every possible aid in see
ing that every divorce decree is based
on the right evidence. A divorce
counsel is just as necessary as dis
trict attorney.

We are informed that certain alder
men have been advised that clarified
milk is just as good as pasteurized
milk. That this information comes
from physicians in the city. IF these
physicians are able to make it stick

men will be greatly relieved. How
ever, we are inclined to doubt the
efficiency of the physicians who
are attributed with making the
statements.

Is Crime a Disease?

One can not meet Thomas Mott Os-
borne or study the work that he has
done in the reform of prison conditions
at Sing Sing without feeling that So
ciety is making an awful mess of its
efforts to solve the problem of the
criminal. Osborne has shown that the
convicts he has come to know so well
are, in many respects, much the same
as the general run of people outside of
prisons. Others are more like irrespon-
sible children that the vicious individ-
uals we commonly consider criminals
to be.
Some time ago, a lawyer who has
had great deal of experience with
criminals, expressed the positive belief
that crime is largely an expression of
ill health. He stated that the average
criminal is fourteen pounds under nor
NAL weight. He said in part, that the
ability to resist crime is physical and
depends largely on health. With Ill
health or malnutrition in the young.
the first thing to give way is the power
of self-eontrol. Poverty causes i'll
health; i'll health causes crime; acct
dental mutilation creates an aptitude
for crime; neglected youth and educa-
tion cause crime.
In 1870, a Scotch prison physician
said that it is frequently a difficult
problem for the expert in mental dis
eases to determine "where badness
