The question of prices for the

large and far-reaching that uni

The question, then, becomes, to a
large extent, one of education. We
have an undigested foreign influx,
part of it unable even to speak our
language. We have the ilhterate of
American birth. Also we have a
goodly output of educated men from
our universities-men fresh from a
good foundation in the things the
ignorant ought to know. Instead of
djscouraging them, by underpayment
and too stringent regulation, from
teaching, why should they not rather
he encouraged to enter places made
for them, places in class rooms of
many sorts? Why must an education
in civics, economics and the social
sciences become merely an instru-
ment to permit man to analyze the
stock market with more acumen or
report city politics more entertain
ingly?
There are those who now wonder
ii it is not better to spend money on
educating the ignorant than to spend
much more in repairing the damage
they do.

seems that Lord Robert has given

there has been no strike or labor

describing the scheme in connection
with an interview with Lord Robert,
says the principle Is that labor has

capital gets a fixed return, which is

RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.
washington Post

'yThe right of free speech and of
peaceful assemblage guaranteed by
the constitution is too frequently mis-
Construed in labor disputes. Free
speech Is the undisputed right of
every American citizen, but it does
not mean that men are entitled to ad-
vocate opposition to legal restraint
or to say things calculated to incite
others to do Illegal acts. There Is a
limit to free speech, and that limit is
reached when 1t impinges upon the
law and upon. the rights of other cit
liens. Nobody will dispute the right
of citizens to go about upon the pub
lie highways, and yet that right does
not entitle a crowd of a thousand men
to parade the streets at will, especi
ally when under the excitement of
strike. Under the leadership of
impulsive men, the crowd
might be turned into mob with the
power to do immense harm. Here,
again, the freedom of the individual
Is limited by the rights of others"

WHAT ROOSEVELT SAID.
(Harvey's Weekly


Since the monstrous indecency has
been committed of making garbled
quotations from what Theodore
Roosevelt wrote before the war, to
appear as favoring the present COW
enant of the league of nations, let us
in justice to that gallant soul recall
his actual words of less than a year
ago, almost the last he ever wrote, on
the present scheme so far as 1T had
then been developed. This is what
he said--and what he meant.
without question there is gen.
eral desire for some kind of internal
tional agreement or union or league
which will tend to prevent the recur-
renee, or at least to minimize the
scope and the horrors of such
hideous disaster to humanity as the
world war which is now closing.
IF the league of nations is built on
document as high-sounding and as
meaningless as the speech in which
Mr.. Wilson laid down his fourteen
points, 1t will simply add one more
scrap to the diplomatic waste. paper
basket.
LET us begin by including in the
league only the present allies
:" Let us explicitly reserve
certain rights-to our territorial pos
sessions, to our control of immigra-
ton and citizenship, to our fiscal poll
icy and to our handling of our DOM
este questions generally-as not to
be questioned and not to be brought
before any international tribunal. Let
us absolutely decline amy disarma-
ment proposition that would leave us
HELPLESS to defend ourselves.
LET us absolutely refuse to abolish
nationalism"
If any league propagandists wish to
quote Theodore Roosevelt on the
pending covenant, let them quote
those words Having quoted them, let
them then pretend that he was in ia
vor of any such abominable abortion
as that covenant-if they dare!

RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLE.
providence Journal)

JOuihpiJ
To a good many persons in this
country the railroad problem seems
matter remote from them. AS mat
ter of fact it touches the whole body
of our people very seriously.
The savings BANKS and insurance
companies have invested to the extent
of billions of dollars in railroad
stocks and bonds Their security de-
ponds to a large degree upon the Sc
curity of the roads. The minute a
blow is aimed at the railroad pros
perity it is aimed at the banks and
the insurance companies, and so az
the millions of their depositors and
policyholders.
Under the modern system of in
tertwined industry and interest, no
great business can suffer without
every other being affected, This is
true of the railroads, the
banks and the insurance interests.
Let any doubter examine the bank
commissioners currency report in
any state. He will find a long list Of
railroad securities among the hold
ings of the savings institutions. If
he has never thought of the matter
before he will be deeply impressed
with the intimate connection between
the welfare of the transportation
and that of the humblest
lepositors of his own community.

NoNPARTIsAN LEAGUE BLowuP.
(New York SUM

North Dakota's state socialism
which is controlled and operated by
the so-called nonpartisan league,
which itself is controlled and operat-
ed by A. c. Townley. has begun to
blow up. The first big explosion is in
the Scandinavian american Bank Of
Fargo. Townley says the closing Of
the institution by the state banking
board was political coup. Maybe 1t
was, in the sense that those who have
been resisting his wildcat political
league and his wildcat state expert
ment took advantage of the shocking
condition Of the Fargo bank to expose
the wide and weird workings Of
Townley's league and Townleys
whole scheme. But, politics or no
politics, the fact remains that the
oank was cramnred, jammed with
