Another Great War Decision

The United States supreme courts unanimous
decision of yesterday in the Debs case follows
with memorable logic its unanimous decision OF
last year unfolding the validity OF the Selective
Service act. AS the nation, under the constitu-
ton, was held in the one case to have the power
10 command all of its resources in men and ma
teriai to resist and overcome an enemy, so in
this later case the nation is held to have the
power. as through the Espionage act, whose
5alidity is thus affirmed, to overcome and punish
assistance to the operations Of the nations re-
,ruiting service,
While the court gives to Mr.. Deb's defenses

Judged by public speeches whose natural and rea-

intent could not, therefore, be fairly questioned.
This decision is another landmark in con-

Gentle s.. Patrick and LIS pav.

St. Patrick was gentle man. On this one
point all his bographers agree. Likewise, all
legends agree that his mission to ireland was to
convert TO Christianity the pagan pirates who
kidnapped and sold him into slavery. His min
stry was marked by such zeal and earnestness,
such humility and generous piety, that not only
did he bring conviction to the heather he sought,
but left so rich a, heritage that more or less
of controversy has ragged about it ever since
For the present it scarcely matters whether
Patrick was Roman Catholic Reformed Pres
byterian or Singing Baptist. The argument
as to this point is as futile as any of the windy
debates that swirl in irritating gusts over other
points as immaterial and as irrevelant as the
sectariansrn of the saint whose day we celebrate
today. He carried gospel of love and kind
ness into region where it was needed; he
taught lessons of forbearance aud mutual help,
and showed those who came under his ministra-
tons a better way to live.
Differences of opinion over one or another
of points St. Patrick probably would have ig-
nored as entirely outside and apart from the
great scheme of salvation have divided the peo-
pie to whom he preached as they have divided
the rest of the world 1t might be we'll for us
all if we would only try to realize how we'll the
teachings of Patrick fitted his time, and how
easily they might be applied to ours, were we
inclined to accept them with as little question
as did the bare-legged bog trotters who idolized
him for his gentleness.

DeaIine with Foreign Languages.

Omaha. March 40 the Editor
of The Bee: / note in your March j
issue an article in your Letter BOX,
'sValue Of Foreign Tongues" by IL.
II. Claiborne, which is the most sem
sible and logical argument IN favor
of teaching foreign tongues that l
have had the pleasure of reading
for a long time. -,
Judge Claiborne is right in his
contention that if we are to meet
the world in competition that we
must train our children in foreign
languages, and we cannot begin any
too soon, for 1t is in childhood that
new languages are the easiest &C
uuired, and most assuredly the IAN
guage or languages alone can be
taught without the teaching OF any
foreign propaganda" That the ac-
curing, in early childhood, by an
American child of foreign Ian
guage or several foreign languages,
affects one bit that child's love or
patriotism to this country is pure
400 per cent nonsense"
The writer, however, has been a
lifelong advocate of the compulsory
teaching in all the countries of the
world of some sort of a universal
language, like Esperanto, for in
stance, lin addition to the present
native tongue Of each), and if some
such plan was put in force, in a
generation or two the universal
tongue would gradually supersede
the native tongues of the various
nations of the world, land Incl
dentalIy this would do much to pre-
vent future wars), but until some
such plan is agreed upon by the edu-
cational departments of the various
nations of the world, we must de-
pend upon our success or failure in
meeting the business, as well as the
social and educational, competition
of the rest of the world in direct
ratio as our children and our chill
dren's children acquire a fluent
knowledge of other languages, and
the more languages they know the
more will America be able to keep
in the forefront among the worlds
leading nations, and this talk about
a "one language country" thereby
isolating it from the rest of the
world socially, commercially and
politically, is all "bosh," is sui
cidal to our national policies and
our international aspirations, and its
advocates have done the nation in
calculable harm by stampeding leg
islatures into passing senseless and
foolish laws interfering with a per-

Where no wars were to take place

visionary ideas were never realized.
We have many dreams now; the
men who are going to form the
league of nations are dreamers. They
are masters of handling language so
as to conceal thought, and hide the
ultimate results should it be adopt
ed Should it be adopted in its
present form, then England and
some other allies will reap what they
want, and our great and glorious
United States will become an in
ternational police force to stand
guard over the petty Kingdoms
across the water. OF course we
would have to pay our own ex-
penses.

thought that we were rid of kaiser

Cole Engineers
Seek To Eliminate
All Car RdttLing

Nothing Is more annoying to tho
owner OF an automobile than rattles
and squeaks They detract from the
comfort and relaxation which one ex-
poets to have when driving and cause
one TO be ever conscious Of an effort
on the part Of the car TO perform,
Many Of them creep In at points which
arc really OF minor Importance and are
so common that motorists have about
come to tho conclusion that they are
weaknesses to which every car muse
fall heir during its period OF useful
ness.
However, Cole engineers are OF DIFF
ferent opinion They contend that
car properly designed should never de.
velop squeak or rattle and to this end
they are continually adding small re-
?nements which have tendency to
make the Aero Eight car which can
take the roads as they. come and glide
from snail's pace to tightening swift
ness with absolute silence,
A recent step In this connection has
been the addition of an absolutely noise
proof control set. Disturbing noises ut
this point are encountered In most cars
The control lever has a tendency to vi
brate and In doing so sets up slight
metallic clang that becomes most lr-
rltating In long days drive over coun-
try roads.
In the Aero. Eight the control lever
Is held snugly In place by SINAI, high
tension coifed spring which is fitted to
the base OF the housing and the cor
responding side Of the gear control ball.
This spring prevents the gear SHIFT
lever from vibrating when the car IL
running. regardless of the nature OF the
roads, and the customary clicking or rat
Ting OF the lever is absolutely pre-
vented.
Another function OF this attachment
is to insure accurate gear-shifting In
the utilization OF the bendix drive,
with which the Aero Eight is equipped.
Such items Of cars as the new control
set OF the Aero-Eight are the features
which gives II It's marked distinction
and invest 1t with satisfaction for the
owner that endears the car more and
more as II is used.
They are the things which make II
possible for an owner TO retain his car
for several years instead OF the Gus
tomary few seasons and drive II with
growing satisfaction and increasing eff.
cheney They tend to enhance the used
car value OF the Aero Eight BY enabling
il TO retain the same merit after long
and hard usage as II had when new
