JUNGLE LAW.

Contributed by ROBERT HER
RICK to the National Security
Leagues campaign Of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Returning from Europe, cursed with
war. / was more convinced than of
anything else in life that what is be-
ing slowly settled in that grim trench
land over there DOES mean some
thing to us-more, oh, so much more,
than money or legal rights or sym
pathy for bleeding humanity. Not
that I am especially apprehensive OF
raid on these United States, the crum-
bling of our skyscrapers, with the ex-
action OF colossal indemnities. That,
too, Of course, might happen if Ger
man arms were triumphant, IL the
pax Germanica were imposed upon
beaten world.
But that is not to me the worst. TO
me the German peril does not lie SO
much in her big guns, her submarines,
her "Prussianized war machine" It
lies in herself, In her image of the
world. If Germany could win even
partial victory under her monstrous
creed Of applied materialism, illuminat-
ed as it has been by every sort Of Gym
ical crime, with its reasoned defiance
of contract, it's principle Of sindispensa-
BILE seventies" it's military logic, etc.,
THAT must become the moral law Of
all the world-the jungle law! In or
der to survive we must all accept this
law of the jungle. And of all the
PROSTATE peoples Of the world forced
to accept the victor's new version Of
the ancient commandments proud
America would be the first We cam
not resist the fascination of success.
So the German ideal, the German
tyranny over the Individual, the Ger
man morality-one rule for you and
me as individuals and another utterly
irresponsible rule when we get togeth-
er as a state-would be Initiated by
us more than the German thorough
ness in civil and military organization.

Call Again.

G. J. Augustin, representing the
Johnson Printers Supply House of
ST. Paul, called on the trade here
Wednesday. Like nearly every sales
man for those lines he is an old news
paper man, having only recently
turned the Glenwood City Tribune
over to his son, after long connect
ion with it. We always welcome the
visit of the press and type statesmen
for the perfectly good reason that we
never fail to learn something Of value
to us from them, and Mr.. Augustin
was no exception to the rule.

Ex-Governor Hoard Speaks.

The message of Secretary Lane to-
the President and the Senate and
House Committee on Education brings
out some most startling facts as to-
the extent of illiteracy in this coun-
try. Mr.. Lane states that in 1910 there
were more than five and half million
persons 'sover ten years of age Whaf
were unable to read or write in any
language. There are now nearly 700,
600 men of draft age in the United
States who are registered, who can
not read or write in English or in any
other language. Since the first of
April, 1917, there has been drafted
into the American Army 10000 mem
who cannot sign their names, cannot
read orders posted on camp BULLETINS
boards, cannot read or write their OWE
letters, cannot understand the flag
signals of the Signal Corps in time of
battle. Secretary Lane says that If
these five and half million persons
were stretched in aidouble line at In
tervals of three feet and were to-
march past the White House at the
rate Of twenty-five miles day it
would take two months for them to-
pass. Over ffty-eight per cent are
white persons and of these 1,5O0,O 600
are native born whites. He further
says that 3, 100000, or ten per cent OF
our country folk cannot read or writes
word
They cannot read a bulletin on ag-
riculture, farm paper, a food pledge
card, a Liberty Loan appeal, news
paper, the Constitution of the United
States, or their bibles, nor can they
keep personal or farm accounts.
Now here are disclosed a series az
astounding facts that almost send
cold chills over the heart of every
true lover of his country What a.
black cloud of ignorance and unftness
for citszenship it presents.
In 1892 the state of Wisconsin
grappled with this evil in the form OF
the Bennett law Briefly stated that
low D1OY1uCQ UA1bO 6iO SOLlFl oO4AA@~
how, and somewhere every parent iH
the state should see to it that his chill
dren between the ages of seven and
fourteen should receive at least 60
days instruction in the English lam
lgguagxm Th3Nls the kind of language
these young people are going to nee6
in the future. 1t puts them to serious
disadvantage compared with those
who can use that language. Moreover
it is the language of the child's OWE
country. They have clear and inde-
feasible right to ask of the state a.
law that shall COMPEL their PARENTS
to have them taught to read and write
that language. This war is opening
our eyes. It is disclosing QUIZ weak
ness as state and nation.
Why not re-enact the Bennett Law
again? If it needs amendment, amends
it. But let us do something to put a.
stop to this cruelty to children. w e.
believe the people Of the state will
fall into line behind such a law

will need next fall and winter.
Remember it requires more than
talk and few fye-cent packages of

often to evade creditors that most
men do not want their wives ito file
declaration of Home stead because
it hurts the husbands credit. The
proposed bill would lower the home
stead exemption to $500 but would
give it to everybody by the mere
facts of residence. No one would
need to file a Declaration OF
Homestead, but every home would
hav an exemption of $500 with
out any act ON the part of the
resident to get it. No mans credit
would be injured because the exemp-
ton would belong to every man,
without effort on his part. The home
of very woman and child would be
protected and have the benefit OF
this exemption, while now not one
in hundred has it. AS for the
amount. $500 will pay fer a COM
Portable home, and that is all an
exemption should provide for.
s. Real Estate in Wifes Name:
Under the law as it is at present in
Idaho, all real estate Of a marrie d
person, whether it stands in the
name OF the husband or in the name
of the wife or in both their names,
lis presumed to be community prop1
erty unless there is prov, son in
the deed making it the separate es-
tat of one of them. There are very,
very few deeds to married women
(which contain any such Ir Wis on,
because it is not necessary in 9th T
states and most people do not know
that it is necessary in Idaho. This
is bad in several ways. For instance,
"a man gives his married daughter a
farm, and the deed does not con-
tain the necessary provision. She
cannot sell or cucumber it without
her husbands consent, and her hns-
bands creditors may levy an exc
cution against it fer his debts, when
she would be put to the expense
and trouble of proving that 1t was
her separate estate. Or her husband
might die, when she would have to
probate it as part of the com
munity property in order to get
clear title to it, and could not do
any hing with it meantime with-
out an order OF court. The law should
be changed so that the presumpti N
of law is that when real estate
stands in the name of the wife it
is her separate estate.
The above proposed legislation by
the Idaho State Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs apreels to the Editor
Of the Enterprise as b ing absolute
ly right. We believe that eech CT
the eight amendments as proposed
by these club women should be act
ed upon and pa'srd at our next Leg
stature. There is no reason why the
women of Idaho or any o'her sta e
should not have equal rights with
men, II it were not for the women,
there would be no men Lets make
laws to protect them.
