LIBERTY BONDS GOING UP

The advent of better times for Lib
berty bonds and government obliga-
lions was bearded in this market
when, for the first time, over par was
bid for United States certificates if
indebtedness. Banks were willing to
pay 100 1872 for any of the Az per
cent certificates maturing within the
next few months.
Not since the Civil war have the
American people had such an opport-
unity to invest in government bonds.
They are being handed, on silver
platter the obligation in the world
that will yield close to 5 per cent
with the future FULL of uncertainties,
political as well as economic.
The spectacle of government bonds
bought at 100 sitting at SO and 95 has
not been pleasant. The only hope for
bond buyers to improve their invest
ment was to average up by lower
purchases in the market Unless the
usual economic signs fail, they will
be losing their advantage if they per-
nit the present opportunity to go by.
Incidental and temporary influences
may cause future recessions in Liber-
ty bond prices, but seekers after gilt
edge securities will not go wrong now
if they make preparation for the in
evitable change in conditions.
The history of political economy,
if one may be permitted the term,
has always shown that strikes and
social unrest do not precede, but fol
low. prosperous times. No respon-
sible authority hides the fact that
there has been initiation. That de-
flation must follow, as a consequence
is equally to be conceded. Where
can the surplus capital of the country
find better Judgment under the cir
cumstances than in a government
bond, wholly or partially tax exempt?

AUTO LICENSE
SALE SMASHES
ALL RECORDS

The dimensions to which the auto
mobile industry in Wisconsin is grow
ing are revealed in figures given out
by Secretary of State Hull at Madison.
Since January there has, been an In
crease of some $4,000 car S, most OF
which are new, representing total
investment of at least $35,00O,00O.
The state has already. with the three
quarters mark barely passed, exceeded
by some 1000 the estimates on the
number of licenses to be issued for the
year. Predictions were that 100000
automobiles would be licensed, and that
the total motorcycles, automobiles
and all vehicles for which licenses are
required, would be 235,000. The total
yesterday was 242, $50.
There have been licenses issued for
223, $40 automobiles, 1862 motorcycles,
7,140 trucks and 1888 dealers cars.
Mr.. Hull is able to draw sharp con-
trast since he first came to the office
of secretary of state. In 1917 the total
of revenues was $4,000, while some
$4,000 licenses were issued.
Approximately $2.410,000 has been
taken in this year, against the esti-
mated $2,250, 900 for the twelve months.
At least 5000 more automobiles are ex-
pected to be licensed this year.

HERITAGE. OF YOUTH

Chauncey M. Depew made an inter-
esting statement to the veterans Of
OF the world war in his address at
Ossining. He said that he had talk
ed with men Of every war in which
the nation had been engaged.
His grandfather was in the war Of
the Revolution, and had lived to tell
him about it; Depew had known sur
vivors of the War of 1912 and of
the Mexican war; he had shared in
the Civil war and had often address
ed Spanish war veterans.
The former senator is an old man;
yet he has clasped the hands of men
belonging to such widely separated
eras as those of 1776 and 1918. And
though the time seems long from the
first of our national wars to the last
as history counts the age of great ma
tons, America is really young.
Compared with countries like Eng
land and France and Spain, to go no
farther, this nation is only a youth
1t has the strength and the courage
OF youth. And if we sometimes seem
too careless, too optimistic, that need
not seriously alarm US; for one of the
finest qualities we possess as a peo-
pie is the splendid selfconfidence
which has given young America a
place of conspicuous leadership
among the older nations of the
Notwithstanding Press.

WOMEN EAGER TO VOTE
Because Wisconsin women h

Because Wisconsin women have
the right to vote for presidential
electors at the coming election in
November 1920, they are manifesting
great interest in the shaping of ma
tional problems and the candidates
for the offices of president and vice
president. They are hardly less in
terested in the machinery of politics,
which to many of them is quite I'M
known. The method Of electing del
egates to the national conventions,
deliberations of those conventions,
the method of conducting the prim-
airy election, registration of voters,
and the general election, these are
all things in which women are ask
ing information. Since seventeen
states have now ratified the federal
amendment and there is good chance
that the necessary thirty-six will
have ratified it in time so that all
the women of the country may vote
on the same terms as men at the
general election the interest OF wom-
en- goes far beyond the one item Of
voting for presidential electors, but
at present that comes first.

PORTAGE SHOW
ARRIVE HOME

The Wooster attraction arrived at
home in Portage and have gone into
winter quarters in tn cir private barns,
corner Superior and Thompson streets.
They have filled engagements at such
cities as Danyille and Champaign. H.,
South Bend, Ind, Nashville and Mem
phis, and Meridian, Miss.
The Kentucky thIorobreds carried
by Mr.. Wooster were featured many
OF these cities and entered in the run
ming races. Mr.. Wooster says his
string lost only one race in all the
seasons entries, and afterwards de-
feated the winning horse at Meridian.
THE Portage horses were given blue

ing to the rich men and women OF
Wisconsin and are saying in effect:
Help us now with gifts or pay it a
few years later in taxes.
The time has passed in any Ameri-
can commonwealth west of the Al
leghenies, when the state institu-
tions of higher learning can accomo-
date the youth of the state demand
ing college education. The small
college giving an A. B. degree and
keeping the student within a few
hours ride of home is the solution
of the problem OF congestion in the
state universities. Eventually the
small college will give the man or
woman all collegiate work, and the
big state Institutions will give the
youth of the state the work required
for their professional and vocational
educations.
The Wisconsin experiment points
to the time when this work of giving
the college education in the small
colleges will be unified and under
one impulse, if not one management.

THOSE SIX VOTES

There are many good reasons why
the League of Nations should cause
an intelligent citizen to hesitate.
about endorsing it says William AL
len White in Emporia Gazette. There
is no black and no white, no absolute
wrong and no absolute right in the
matter But the right does overbal-
ance the wrong, and the League of
Nations is a good beginning even with
its bad features. But among it's
bad features the six alleged votes Of
Great Britain are not one That fea-
ture is the strongest feature of the
League For upon the English speak
ing democracies of the world-Ameri-
ca and the English speaking races
which control seven votes in the
League and when Ireland is given
dominion home rule next year will
control eight votes-depends the
peace of the world These English
speaking democracies are the peace
loving peoples of the world England
will not dominate them. Imagine
England controlling Ire n d S
vote. Similarly England will have a
hard time with Australia's and New
zealand's and South Africa's.i And
as between England and America on
the Japenese question, her dominions
would vote with America.
These dominions are free democra-
cies. In the Peace Conference Eng
land did not control these votes. She
will not control these votes She will
not in the League. But assuming

that she does it still takes an un-
animous vote upon every important
matter to carry decision in the
League. Only upon matters of ad-
hitting membership can a majority
vote decide. And England is just as
keen as America to restrict the mem
bership Of the League to desirable ma
tons.
The six votes Of Great Britain
are of no importance inthe League.
The six votes were asked for by the
dominions rather than by Great Brit
ain and because the dominions sent
their soldiers to the war, it seemed
fair that they should have voice
in the worlds peace. And these six
British democracies have much
more business there than the yellow
legged republics which blow up ey-
cry sixty days, where assassination
is a political weapon, and the majori-
ty rule is a joke, There Is the weak
ness of the League real weakness;
but the six votes of Great Britain are
a towed OF strength.

A WISCONSIN EXPERIMENT

II Yf4OSSlS1AlN LXAA
A most encouraging experiment in
practical cooperation in religion and
education is progressing in Wiscon-
sin. There all the UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges in the state have united in
a special state wide campaign for 5
million dollars. The Catholics and
Protestants and the colleges like Be-
lott which started as UNCONVENTIONAL
anu have gradully lost their denom-
national character are joining in the
movement, and when the million
is secured it will be divided upon a
pro rata of the attendance of the
various schools.
Wisconsin is typical Western
state; it has something like a dozen
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges and the US
ual state institutions &C higher edu-
cation-the university, the agricul-
tural college and the various nor
NAL schools. Ten thousands students
ordinarily attend the university and
the agricultural college, which are To-
Gated in one town three thousand at
tend the normal schools and two or
three thousand students go to the
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges. Complaint
is made in Wisconsin that there are
too many colleges; the same com
plant is made in all Western states;
but the complaint is not justified.
The small colleges have small facul-
ties who give close personal atten-
ton to the students, and as a matter
of fact considering that the average
small college devotes itself almost

A. B. degree-plus little special
training in music, the faculties Of
these colleges handle as many stu
dents as they can handle and il the
colleges did not exit the universities
would have to employ more teachers.
The small college operating near the
students home-or in his denomina-
tion-prepares him for an A B. de-
gree about as cheaply as it can be
done by the university, and about
as we'll The plact where the state
school is needed is in lines of special
training. The great use of the state
school is as a professional school,
In professional schools highly trained
and presumably highly paid special
lists are needed, and much money is
spent on laboratories of various
kinds. These specialists and these
laboratories the small college can
not afford Hence the state institu-
tons.
Now this money-raising campaign
seems to indicate that the denomina-
tons which are backing these col
leges realize that after all they are
doing a cooperative job. They are
incidentally educating Presbyterians
and Congregationalists and Catholics
and Baptists and what not Of the de-
nominations; but they are giving the
boys and girls about the same kind
of an education at each of these col
leges, and they are taking off the
state the burden of educating so
many youngsters in the collegiate
departments OF the various state nStl.
tutions. That is what the work of
the UNCONVENTIONAL colleges in the
West amounts to. 1t is merely
system by which overcrowding is
prevented in the state university. And
the united educational drive is an
evidence that the element of rivalry
in doing this work-the highly neces-
sary work of getting the youth of
the state through the college of lib
eral arts-has departed from the de-
