The Bomb Outrage.

England never fully awakened to what war
till the Germans bombarded unfortified
seaports and perpetrated air raids over the is
people came to their senses and. really. began
70 fight.
Yesterdays disclosures of bomb outrages
threatening the lives of more than a score of
American leaders should jolt the people of this
|, country into realization of the character of
the menace that faces them. Anarchy, which
has taken root in the ruins of the war. is with
us stronger and holder than ever before. It
must be cut off, pulled out, stamped into the
ground, or otherwise destroyed. root and
branch, as fast as it comes to view The time
for temporizing is past.
One danger and one alone exists We must
clearly draw the line between honest and
worthy reform and that which is purely selfish
and destructive. Organizations sincerely seek
ing to better living and working conditions owe
it to their cause to clear themselves of ques-
tionable associations. On the other hand those
with vested interests will only cause cQnfu-
sion and delay in the processes of justice by
denouncing anarchistic everything which
encroaches upon their time honored preroga-
tives.
There should be no doubt over the line of
demarcaton created in connection with the
present outrage. People who send bombs
through the mail, whatever their professions
may be- are criminals at heart and are mean,
sneaking towards to boot. All who uphold
their practices belong in the same category,
no matter how well they are organized nor
under what name. If this be bolshevism then
it is time for boIshevism in America to feel the
force of American public disapproval, applied
without any upholstering to soften the blow
If there is going to be a reign of terror in
this country let's see to it that it is one for
the terrorists and not Tor honest decent people
who are trying TO fulfill their obligations as
citizens and to respect the rights of others to
the same extent as they insist upon their own.

Combating an Evil at the Source.

Reformers are again agitating, this time in
Wisconsin, surgical operations>upon or perrna-
nent confinement for some 10000 persons in that
state to prevent continued propagation ct
feeble-minded children.
No reasonable doubt exists of the right of
the people to protect themselves from this
menace to the fu ure Of the race by any plan
which will get results without involving ex-
cessive suffering injustice. If some one will
suggest a practical way to be absolutely sure
of avoiding operating upon or permanently re-
straining the wrong persons opposition to the
program will quickly disappear.
The trouble is the majority of people are
unwilling, for the ends in view to leave SO
much to the fallbility of human judgment.

Japan has been! awarded Kiao Chau, and in
the end probably she will be given consider
able latitude of action in other parts of the Chi
nese empire Japan is capable and China is
not and that gives the former big advantage
in submitting issue between the two for
the judgment of other nations, themselves
strong and aggressive and inclined in their
own past affairs, to take under their wings
as occasion offered. weak and incompetently
governed peoples. Sympathy with China is apt
to be sentimental rather than concrete espe-
cially if Japan shows a disposition to be rea-
sonabIe in regard to other matters she has

or three years.
He told me that il he found 9th
ers here when he called he would
take his hat and leave unless l in
timated to them to go. Would you
stand for this?
Should 1 give up my other boy
fl lend and wait two or three years
for him?
YOURS QUESTIONINGLY
Two years is too long a time for
the young man to ask you to wait.
Insist upon being free and enter
tanning whenever you want to. He
is unreasonable in asking you to
tie yourself to him for SO long
time.
OF course you should not ask
others to go hume when they are
calling. To do so would be violat-
ing the rules of hospitality.
l think if you wait you will meet
some other young man whom you
will like better because he is not
ST. petty.
