TO HIDE INCOMPETENCE

Il was western Senator who, in
the course of debate on the espionage
bill, and referring TO the drastic pro-
vision relating 10 the press. said, in
our concern about democracy abroad.
we are neglecting democracy al
home" And the moro this measure
is--rXamined into the. more. Of tray
eSry il appears TO he upon the 'replb-
lican forms which This government is
supposed to adhere 20. The prime OBJ
jecf OF some of the provisions clearly
points TO sitting criticism of the
MASTERS. favorites and incompetents
who already have had TOO much 10
do With bringing the nation 10 war
in such a iamentable state Of UMPIRE
hardness. Under its provisions It is
doubtful ii a neighborly call coHd es-
cape classification as seditious
gathering if the group should happen
10 fall to discussing the war and
should tell the truth about Josephus
Daniels.
A the bill stands the Postmaster
General is given absolute authority to
determine what kind of published
comment upon the conduct of the war
i rraitorouS and 10 deny the use OF
The mails to any newspaper whose
columns do not suit his ideas. Under
the bill. rs it stands there could be
no criticism of an embalmed beef cpl
sode if one should arise: no criticism
Of a DELAY in the construction OF the
inney fleet which is TO overwhelm
rho German U.boat campaign by sheer
force EXHAUSTION; no adverse COM
ment upon any plan which Mr.. NC
Adoo might devise for distributing the
new bonds OF the government among
favored underwriters: no public pro-
res, against appointments like DR..
Cary Grayson's. What in the world
were tire trainers of such an inQulsi'
,ional measure thinking about?

In deciding an income lax void some

AIDING ACCURATE BILL
 DRAFTING.

In Colorado the state bill drafting department is in action. Legislators who have good ideas for bills but arc unable to get them mashed up into legal language without heavy expense. can make good use of the bill-draftins works and have the tAilaren of thelr brains fixed up in legal chow-chow ac- eording to Hoyle.
 In this Colorado has shown the other states new and valuable wrinkle, as we know and have heart of sundry laws in this state that would be less dubious to the unsus pecting public and puzzled lawyers had they been written with due re gard to the intricacies and refine, ments of the English language.

EDUCATION FOR MILL MOMEN.

South Carolina is trying to improve the lot of women employed in its CO., ton mills. For a long time the last word in abject, wrecked, despalrlns vonanbood has been he cotton mil woman. She began work in the mills as child, used up most of her scaas vitality and all her ambition on dead ening labor before sine was twent%; married a mill worker, and tried to bring up a large family while stl'i holding her job in the mill in a more or less vain effort to keep the wolf from devouring her brood
 But these days, South Carolina hopes. are soon to be Q matter of his tory. at least within it's own qonfines. The United States department ot agriculture the State Normal college for Women. Winthrop college and many of the mil arrangements are cooper ating in an endeavor 10 spread educa ton comfort and interest in life among the women of the mill villages.
 The mill management, where the work is going on, provides cottage which is fitted up .cording to the ideas of Miss Mary "rayser of the department of agricul ure. There is usually one large meeting room for lecturers, games, etq, a small reading room and Q kitchen. inere arc cook irg clubs, sewing clubs. garden clubs. mothers meetings, study clubs of various sorts as well as many meet ings for social pleasure. AS fast as the people of one of :he villages are able to take over the work and con- duct it themselves, the trained work CTS who. have started it withdraw. leaving the future tn !he community itself. The results in the. twelve mill villages where the centres have been established so far have been marvel lous.
 With new generation growing up free from the ( |'rse of child labor. which was abolished I.y the federal legislature last wear, and with the Op- rcrtunities for schooling and social interest provided by these community centres. the tide of life bids fair to turn from apathetic misery to hope ard satisfa ction for tho textile work CTS of the future,

.US IGNORANT FOLk."

If you talk to business men or bankers in Paris. for instance, about art. literature, war. military affairs. politics or international law. you will find them we'll informed, and unless you are technically informed on the subject you had better keep still. But ill America we are n1t interested in such things. Our business men d. not know anything aoout them.'
 Thus speaks Scott Nearing, dean of the College of Arts and Science at Toledo university.
 To a certain extent Mr. Nearing may be right. But there is life probabi,. ity that MT. Nearing compares the average business mans international knowledge with the -notchers abroad.
 There is no evidence that the aver agc business man ill Europe is a bi' better informed internationally than tie average on this side.
