by the enunciation Of any sex Of general prin-
c4Rles
The truth is that Industrial unrest is the
outgrowth OF variety of causes, with many
ramifcations to involve practically the
whole problem of human life. The mental
shock of the has caused in many cases
reversion to primal instincts. The reaction
after the common effort has brought distrust,
intolerance, selishness and perverseness to the
surface where its existence was unknown be-
fore There is greater suspicion than nor
mally of everything which the individual can
not touch, feel see hear or taste. Much OF
that which promotes unrest will gradually
wear away as. people gain better control OF
themselves and take saner view of things
generally.
The proposed conference might be helpful,
but it would be unwise to expect it to find
specific for our social and Industrial ills. Nat
ural law and common sense are pretty good
doctors and they already are the job.

Inconsistency.

Our Republican friends, or those of them
who control party propaganda in the public
prints, not long ago generally expressed them
selves scandaIized over the reported inten-
ton OF the war department to scrap some of
its airships. Now the navy's plans for expert
mental work with planes and dirigibIes is
knocked into a cooked hat by the Republican
members of the house naval affairs committee
through cutting the appropriation down from
$45 900 900 to S15,000,06O
At the same time the party of preparedness
was engineering reduction in army funds SO
as to maintain only 100000 men where the
war department had asked to be permitted to
keep 100000 for another year.
1t may be that $15,OO0,OOO will be enough
for naval airship experiments and that 300, 900
men in the regular army will be plenty at a
time when the world is PROSTATE from the eff
fects of war and no other nation is strong
enough to threaten our prestige, but the Incl
dent is just another one of many showing how
inconsistent critics of the administration are
1t is interesting to note that while we are
preparing to cut down our air program sleepy
old China has agent on the ground to buy
what we have to sell, provided it is thoroughly

African in the Woodpile Again.

That determination of routes for hard roads
within the county is sectional matter and
therefore cannot be properly considered by the
/. board of supervisors is the surprising attitude
which that body took when resolution favor
ing a given course between here and Aledo was
brought up yesterday afternoon. The county
solons passed the buck completely-for the
simple reason that some of the leading mem
bers did not fancy the route suggested and were
afraid to put themselves on record one way
or the other.
The resolution called for road to Edging
ton postof1ce and thence south to Aledo This
may not have been the best one to select, for
1t would add couple of miles to the distance
between the two county seats and the state
highway commission might refuse to accept it
on that ground. Be that as it may It was OBJ
vious that the interests of this county demand
that it be given as great mileage Of hard
roads possible without adding to the distance
between terminals. Whatever we get we will
pay for several times over under the prevailing
plan of financing highway improvement.
= 1t is ridiculous to argue that this is not the
hHSiness of the supervisors. The county board
was empowered under the Tice law to desig
nate roads to be improved with state aid and
e has a road committee which is supposed to
consider highway questions for the whole
cSunty. If it is not the business of the board
10 settle controversies between localities
whose affair is it? No other organization ex-
isis which can act for the county. This is
plain of Sinking a public duty and it
uaght to receive attention at the hands Of the
Seeers in due time.
1t may be that the selection of routes for
hard roads in the county has gone farther than
the public has been informed. AS stated yes
eaRday there is reason to believe that scheme
ds on foot which will virtually beat the upper
erd of the county out Of all benefit under the
act 1t may be that the route between Rock
Island and Aledo already has been decided
upon in inner highway circles. II 1t is
scarcely conceivable that all knowledge Of what
10 going on has been kept from all members
Of the county board.
One is tempted to entertain suspicion that
O few men of influence have things fixed up in
aesDrdance with their personal interests and
that is the reason the supervisors have been
so gently, but firmly steered around the
subject.

Finding a Remedy.

For the purpose of agreeing upon set Of
pTenciples for the establishment of social and
Industrial justice and so to promote a restora-
ton of internal peace the Washington Star
proposes a national conference in that city. 1t
Is argued that new conditions have arisen and
that an airing of the views Of all interests along
the broadcast possible lines would help to crys-
Ealiize sentiment and remove many of the
eauses of present discord
No objection is to be found with the theory
Of the undertaking. but Vice President Mar
Bhal and Samuel Gompers point out some Of
the conditions which make it doubtful If the
effort would be worth while at this particular
time. The former calls attention to the danger
that such conference would be dominated by
people with personal motives and be d.
Vcrted from its proper course and the latter
DECLARES Industrial questions too intimately
dependent upon local conditions to be solved

In the Days News

DR.. Edward s. Parson, who has
been chosen to the presidency OF
Marietta college, is a graduate Of
Amherst college and the Yale divin-
ity school, who, after serving in a
pastorate in Greeley, Colo, was
made professor of English in Colo
RADIO college in 1892. Successive
elections made him vice-president
and then dean, and, frequently in
the absence of the president, he was
responsible for the administration
of the college. In 1917 Prof. Parson
was dismissed rather summarily by
the trustees following his leader
ship in a faculty demand for a GER
tain line of action by the institution
on an issue involving moral stand
ards. A large proportion of the
clergy and laity OF Colorado rallied
to his support and the American
Association of University Profess
sors also took up his cause. In the
end Prof. Parson won his fight for
academic freedom and secured re-
instatement in his position.

THE TOLL GATE,

The toll gate OF my boyhood days
no longer guards the turnpike
ways; it rots and rusts in some
scrap pile along with crossroad,
cart and stile. And where we am
bled slow but sure when country
air was sweet and pure, we ride
behind a wind-break screen and
burn up miles with gasoline. 1t
was a pleasure good to know-that
graveled road Of long ago; to hear
the keepers CHEEKY hail, to watch
him hoist the creaking rail, TO
breathe the fresh, dew-laden air,
to know that life was young and
fair. There was no cloud on
youths bright sky, no darksome
shadow passins by TO mar the rap
ture of my soul; for dear old Dad
put up the toll. The turnpike gate
is crumbled now, and there are
burrows on my brow; the keepers
lodge is in the junk; whirl along,
but drop no PUNK to keep the high
way in repair or pay the tollman
for his care. Yet still, as wearily
l hike and trudge along life's
westering pike, the lengthening
shadows taunt my soul, the grim,
gaunt years demand their toll. !
hope that Joy may be my fate when
have reached the last, lone gate.

Some day before long l am going

on Lake Keuka where the finest
trout in America are caught, fish

compared with practice, SO 1 never
fished. Now that I live far from
good fishing water / love to fish.
The appetite was acquired in the
course of a brief visit on Keuka,
where the Keuka Lake Medical and
Surgical association or something
of the kind holds an annual sum-
mer meeting and gives all the doc
tors, great and small, from far and
near, a chance to get acquainted
and pick flaws in one another's
methods. They flock there from
New York, Chicago, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Winnipeg, Toronto, Jeru-
salem and Bath, not to mention Ell
mira, Cleveland, San Francisco
and Households. Among those
present on one occasion was DIR.
Robert T. Morris, of Gotham. DIR.
Morris goes fishing sometimes. He
describes one fishing trip that
proved very lucky.
1t seems that Dr. Morris is an
explorer. In exploring around the
abdominal cavity he sometimes
was unable to cover his trail. The
patients who had been explored oc-
casionally persisted in logging his

that refused to close. It was get

patients coming around every day
to have those annoying sinuses

tackle and hied away to the water.
Clean forgot to advise the patients
what to do in his absence. Con-
sequently they just contained
themselves and their sinuses in
impatience until he got back, a
sadder but wiser man. Then they
stormed his ONCE in no pleasant
mood. They had not been dressed
for days and days. But the neglect
had allowed several of the most
obstinate sinuses to heal up in the
doctors absence. So the moral he
drew was this: When your luck
is bad, go fishing.

THE DAILY SHORT STORY

Mrs. Hutchins' worst fears were
realized; her boarder was suffer
ing severely from the prevailing
malady, while the doctor positive
ly forbade his REMOVAL And 1t
developed that no nurse could be
found in the exigency, and the doc
tor who was exceedingly busy hur-
ried away.
Janet crept softly to the stair, @
moment she hesitated before the
door OF the forbidden room, then
bravely entered.
Il will take care of Mr.. Brere-
ton," she told Mrs. Hutchins. my
room is directly across the hafl.
We will keep him secluded and I
shall carefully obey the doctors
directions"
Seems it ought to be a nearer
woman doing all that for him p"
Mrs. Hutchins said, dryly.
Little Janet's lips closed in a
firm line. She had notified Miss
Vaughn OF her fiance's latest con-
ditiOn, and the return message had
been:
''Dr. Minor will undoubtedly find
someone to look after nim, and
please will you tell Mr.. BreretGn
not to attempt to come to our
house until 1t is quite. quite>safe,
and-I1l send him roses every
day."
The roses came. Janet, busy
with her fight against death, left
them piled in the hall, The doc
tor had ordered that they were not
to be in the patients room.
