THE LAWS AND THE vERITIES

THE LAWS AND THE VERITIES
every ancient maxim contains a
wealth of truth. If it had not contain
ed truth it would not have survived
long enough to become either a mixim
or ancient. Here, for instance, is the
old saying that 'one man can lead a
horse to water but ten men can't make
him drink In those words we have
a statement of truth that should be
hung upon the walls of bureaucracy's
offices in Washington, where official
dom has gone mad with the desire to
tell all creation how to live and move
and have it's being. Just now we have
in mind the visionary schemes to put
returned soldiers on farms. Official
dom can lead a million soldiers up to
the land, but it can't make them farm.
Canada has tried it and failed. If
Uncle Sam also tries it, he will also
fail. This is not saying that none of
the returned soldiers will go to the
farm. A great many of them will.
But they will go there of their own
accord and not through the leadership
of an official who is careful to-keep
away from the soil himself.
"The trouble with the present auto
cratic administration is that it tells
the returning soldiers to go to the
farms and then does everything posi-
BILE to keep them away. Hours of labor
and wages are made as attractive as
possible in cities or on railroads, while
conditions remain practically unchang-
ed in the country. In fact, conditions
are less attractive for the farmer who
must hire some help, for he finds in
creasing difficulty in persuading men
to leave the city to work on farm.
"The whole policy of this admins
tration has been one of attempted
overthrow of economic law-an effort
to prevent water seeking its level, an
effort to dislocate the center of gray
ity, an effort to remake human nature
by law or executive edict. Price-fix-
ing, government operation, artificial
and inequitable wage scales, are illus
trations of the determination of self
constituted omnipotents to perform
modern miracles. The performances
have taken place-their miraculous
character has not become apparent
for the reason that the eternal law of
compensation is still in operation and
the country is paying in one form or
another for the attempt to set aside
law.
whenever the governmental "back
to the farm bureaus find themselves
by flood of designations
from employees who are quitting gov
eminent jobs to 60 on the farms, we
may expect to find soldiers flocking to
occupations. Until then,
soldiers will go to the farms when they
feel so disposed, just as horse will
drink when he's thirsty"

GRID UP!-If the American Mer.
chant marine is not to be like the
painted ship upon a painted ocean,
of which we learned in the "Tale OF
the Ancient Mariner" we must have
an aggressive american first" policy
that will put real ships at work or
real oceans carrying full cargoes from
American ports to every nation that
can consume our surplus goods.
THE ANSWER.-In his Boston
speech President Wilson says he has
been searching for the fundamental
facts that converted Europe to believe
in us. Well, one of them is buried at
OYSTER Bay, another is buried some
where in the army out West, thous-
ands of them lie buried in France, and
hundreds of thousands are saving up
money to buy more Liberty bonds.
Those are the facts that converted
Europe.
E-NUFF!-Of the $4,000 volunteers
for overseas service called for by
Newt Baker few weeks ago, but g.
600 have responded. Those who have
served under the Baker regime have
had enough; those who have not, want
none of it. The 16 per cent response
more than measures Bakers percent
age of efficiency.
SAME FEATHERS.-If the Ameri-
can delegation wants to. recognize the
bolsheviki, why not start fraternizing
with the Hun. Invite him to tea md
say, "Let's forget it and be friends"
The bolsheviki is the Huns tool and
weapct Any man who cannot see this
is either totally blind from an intel
lectual standpoint or else he is in
sympathy with these international
highbinders.
TAKE NOTICE, WOODROW
Reports from the Michigan election
show Republican pluralities about
double those usually obtained. But
the Democratic press will find some
way to construe this as an endorse
ment of Wilson and Ford.
NOT SURPRISING.-"Tct, diplo-
macy or business judgment seem not
to have entered greatly into the plans
of the Railroad Administration thus
far in handling the price tangle."-
Boston News Bureau. Quite right.
But who expects "tact, diplomacy or
business judgment" from government
bureaus?
WRECKED BY wOODROW-Hen-
ry Watterson is right in saying that
"nothing remains of the Democratic
party except the tattered label" 1t
has become the Wilson party, unable
to think until Wilson speaks, unable
to retain any principle after Wilson
changes his mind, unable to contem-
plate its own future separate and dis
tinct from the future of Woodrow
Wilson.
THINK!-"Shall we give to Lea
que in which they (the countries of
Europe) control the voting power. the
right to send soldiers drawn from the
farms and homes of this country to
any foreign land that may need them
to enforce their rights to the boun-
diaries now or about to be set up?
That is what we are to think about. I"
Senator Harry s. New.
President Wilson tells the colored
people of the Philippines that he
deems them ready for citizenship, but
he doesn't send any such message to
the colored people of the United
States. Why?

EDUCAT |ONAL.
SYSEEM Of j. s.
HELD SPLENDID
(Bv Associated Press)


London, April % (By maiI-The
American system of education has a
great advantage over the English
plan in enabling boys attending day
schools to live at home and receive
the care and guidance of their moth
ers. This is the opinion of Lady Beech
am, wife of a famous music conduc-
tor, Sir Thomas Beecham.
Lady Beecham thinks that many
pitfalls in English married life would
be avoided if the boys of this coun--
+rv saw more of their homes and
learned to understand women.
Bows of well-to-do families in Eng
land rarely see their parents except
during holidays. They attend board
ing schools, beginning in their early
teens. some when they are only I
or 8. AS a rule, these schools are
so far distant from the pupils homes
that their parents see the boys only
for a month at Christmas, month aI
Easter and during the midsummer
holidays, which last about SIX weeks.
It is the children of the poor that
attend the day schools, or Tree
schools, as they are called: Inc pun
9ic schools of the United States nave
no counterpart III VI =,
What are known as "public" schools,
here are the fashionable private boys
schools like Eton, Harrow and Rugby
entrance to which is so difficult that
bows are booked for them in their ba-
byhood. .: o,+
Lady Beecham, after pointing out
the advantages of the American day
schools, says that boys "growing up
in this way to comprehend thell
mothers, when they marry have ial
more sympathy with their wives"
Il think" she continued, that much
coniueal trouble in this country Is
due to our system Of educating, our
sons. The English boys sees little

nothing Of femininity in general, ano M

RIM 0 THE WORLD
RECORD IS MADE
ON RED CROW N

When Charles Basle few days
ago drove his Peerless Eight over
the famous Rim o. the World hill
climbing course in record time, he
was using Red Crown gasoline. c. S.
Stone, in his Essex, who was second,
also had Red Crown in his tank.
Unquestionably, this course, which
covers eight miles of grade, ranging
from five to eighteen per cent, through
the Waterman canyon, near San Ber-
nardino, is one of the severest tests
motor-fuel can have anywhere in the
country. There is hardly straight
stretch Of road in the whole distance
and the innumerable sharp curves and
twists, combined with the grade, pre-
sent difficulties which can only be
overcome by a car using the best
quality of gasoline.
This Rim o. the World hill-climb-
ing contest is one of the few stock
car events regularly held in Califor-
MIA. That the two winning cars
should both have used Red Crown is
tribute to the quality and steady
power that it possesses in everyday
use.
The high quality of Red Crown was
again demonstrated under the heavy
strain of this hill-climbing event. AS
a straight distilled, all refinery gas
oline, it has the full and complete
chain of boiling points necessary for
consistent performance. Low boiling
points give easy starting, medium
boiling points quick and smooth accel-
Grafton, and high boiling points
steady, dependable power and long
mileage.

FARMERS FAVOR GOOD ROADS
Recognized as Greatest Economic Need
of Agricultural Communities In
Eastern States.

Good roads are the greatest eco
nomic need for agricultural communi-
ties. Tt.s is the answer of 200 prom
inent farmers of the state OF Maine to
Questionnaires which asked them TO
summarize urgent necessities TO bring
their districts up to the desired eco
nomic standard.
The farmers who answered the Ques-
tionnaires were selected as those best
fitted TO answer the questions, and
they were asked 10 furnish a digest
Of the situation in their respective com
munIties with reference TO acreage,
crops. farm Improvements, civic and
social conditions, etc.
The definitions OF the greatest needs
covered a wide and interesting range.
The largest record Of needs was good
