7wo Problems that Solue
Each Other

THE returned soldier with special training
perhaps with college education but no bust
ness experience is faring badly in his hunt for
a job, according to the federal director Of the
U. S. Employment Service. The average bus-
is too busy 'reconstructing" his
business after the war to bother with teaching
this type of man his business at just this time
The result is that number of vigorous young
men with brains and capacity, but no specialized
experience, apparently drug on the
market.
Now comes the Fedora bureau of Education with
the suggestion that returned soldiers of Just
about the type described would be tremendous
asset to the country in the profession Of teach
ing. They are the kind of men the schools need.
Of course, they must first have certain qualifi-
cation and training, but granted they acquire
that men who have seen life and overcome diff
fculties as our returned soldiers have, are the
kind of men we want to train our children for
the business of living.
We have long been warned of the ever threaten
ing shortage of teachers, nation wide danger.
Is this one way out? If salaries in the teaching
profession are made to match the kind of ability
we need in the schools, it may well be one answer
To make the teaching profession attractive to
men and women of vigor and capacity is one
of the most pressing of reconstruction
problems

Newark, Delaware, July 2
Is it as Good Today ,

IN 1776 the trainers Of the Declaration of In
dependence met together at time when, in the
words Of the Declaration itself, the state was
Exposed to all the dangers of invasion without
any convulson withn,' to affirm the rights
Of all men to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
In 1919 on the anniversary of independence Day
American Citizens in the Communities will meet
to reaffirm that right after two years in which
American blood has been shed to guarantee it
to America and to the world
We have less to fear from invasion from with
out" than the men of 1776 and less to fear
from "Convulsions Within" 1t is true that
we are going through period of industrial
confusion, of commercial uncertainty. 1t is true
also that a minority among us would try to
persuade their fellow citizens that they have lost
hold Of their government that the old order
has changed, that the bottom has fallen out,
that need something new.
Do we? Is it time for new Declaration of
Rights? At least let us study the old again be-
fore we toss it by. Get it off the dusty shelf,
hunt it up in the appendix Of the old history
book and cast your eye over it once more
those phrases about the "inalienabe rights of
all of us, the equality of all men, the govern
ments instituted among to secure those in
aienable rights, and "derving their just powers
from the consent of the governed
Then turn to the Constitution and run over the
minimum guarantees of American Citizens
forever: freedom Of religion freedom Of speech /;
freedom of the press the right of petition; the
right to keep and bear arms; the right to pro-
test against unreasonable seizures; the right of
protection for person and property; the right
of trial by jury; the vote.
Does it stand, is it cold stuff" If it stands,
let all 100 per cent Americans on, July 4, 1919,
with new sense Of the blessings of peace get
solidly behind those ageless truths, the founda-
tion Of this republic. In country once more
free from of oppression, America calls
upon the men and women of 1919 to assume the
same obligation which Americans of 1776 as
sured-and with the same completeness, the
same courage, and for the support of this De-
caration, with firm reliance on the protection
Of Divine Providence we mutually pledge to each
other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor

II DelaUare Girl

MISS ESTHER EVERETT LAPES connec-
ton with Americanization work in Delaware is
particularly interesting because Miss Lape is
herself Delawarean, and has always been in
touch with Deaware life She won the Senior
Muir scholarship in Philadelphia and went to
Bryn Mawr and Wellesley. She was on the
faculty of the University of Arizona, Swarth-
more College, Barnard College, Columbia Uni
versity Summer School and the School of
Journalism at Columbia Miss Lape gave up her
College work in order to give all her time to
newspaper and magazine articles and to work
in connection with the increasing need for Amer
icanizing the foreign born element in our
population. AS an Educator and writer on i'm
migration, Amercanization and various aspects
Of American government she is well known to
a wide public. But her study of government
and conditions elsewhere have only increased
her interest in the development of her native
State.

THE signing of the peace treaty at Versailles
on Saturday last was, as matter Of historical
record, an event Of greater moment to the world
than any similar event in all the pages of the
past. But the real treaty had been signed in
the hearts Of the people months before and
whatever the dissatisfactions and disappoint-
ments attending the working out of formal
agreements, the desire for justice among nations
is stronger than ever among the great body of
the people in this and other countries.
TO the people therefore, belongs this obligation,
as their own interested duty and duty to the
word,-that the statesmen who presented them
i'll matter of justice and public policy be carefully
chosen to this end, and that they be kept inform
ed through ready and unpreverted channels of
the snsere desires and the new purpose Of a re-
awakened and rededicated citizenship.

THE most healthful sign seen in Newark for
years was Citizens Meeting held last week to
consider the new school code. ''The most ser-

Old New England Town Meeting-an express

l he Opbortunist

"HE'S opportunist,' is an epithet used by
a lazy man or coward. An opportunist is the
man who sees job and does it at the same,
psychological time. He starts things and
finishes them. The world s greatest thinkers and
actors are opportunists Read History. Every
movement worth while is started by an oppor-
tunist. The Literary Anaemic academic sits
lazily back and yes "Opportunist and the
echo returns-"The job is done"

THE BLUE SKY swINDLER.

The Capital Issues committee. in charge Of the
countrys investment conditions during the war. after A
thorough Investigation has concluded that fake stock
grant now than il has ever been il the history 81 the
country. Approximately half a billion good American
dollars go annually into fake stock concerns and similar
schemes, and are totally lost. Estimates Of such losses
before the war were $780, 100000 a year
The tremendous increase il the number OF investors
in the country by reason OF the sale OF Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps has encouraged the takers. The
sucker list which forms The basis Of their operations
is based nowadays on a list Of government roam investors.
The modern stock faker VIII trade YOU any kind Of stock.
with blue sky limit profits-in prospect-for your steady
interest-bearing government securities
These swindlers hope to continue profiting by the
thrift habit which war investments planted among the
American people, If a man is buying War Savings Stamps
regularly, the stock faker shrewdly figures that the NO.
ney he puts into government securities can be lured into
the by-ways Of crooked finance and lost by a good selling
argument.
There is no higher duty before the financial and
business leaders Of every community today than the
protection of the thrift habit by the elimination Of the
stock swindler. The federal governments efforts to sun
press this form Of swinding through the Federal Trade
Commission, the Treasury Department and the Postoffice
Department demand the cooperation OF every community
leader.
The continued investment Of small savings in the
War Savings Stamps and the preaching OF the value Of
government securities generally viii do much to encourage
the small saver to shun the swindler.

WHAT AXE CoUNTY NFEDED.

The establishment of a criminal court at Crown
Point was the finest thing for law and order that hap
Dened in Lake county. That is indubtable. it is not TO
be argued for a moment. The results of the past two
months have clearly demonstrated that criminal court
where the trial Of exclusively criminal cases go on an
the time was an absolute necessity.
Judge Martin T. Smith has, as this paper predicted
he would, made an enviable record and the number Of
penitentiary will have a salutary effect in Lake county's
evil doors. There is already a noticeable slowing up or
crime and a smashing of crime waves. The murders and
banditry that broke loose in Northern Lake county in
February and March were such that something had to be
done to save the eountys good name. That something
has been done in the Crown Point criminal court, nearly
two score of criminals have been sent to penal institutions
as a lesson and warning to others.
What would have happened to these men if there had
been no criminal court? The most of them would be
waiting for trial now in all probability and would continue
to wait. Legitimate continuances, sought by their attor-
neys. would have gone on perhaps rather indefinitely.
The seriousness of their crimes would have been forgot
ten, feeling against them arrayed and then nolle PROSE-
and dismissal might have resulted.
AS it is now the forces OF law and order strike while
lie mind, the circumstances are obtainabIe and justice IS
obtained.
Crime is not going to be so prevalent in Lake county.
The underworld is shaking on its legs. Police officers
are armed with a fresh weapon against crooks, black
legs, thieves. bandits, gamblers and murderers. They feel
inspired to go out and get them" because they know
their captives will be arraigned before the bar of Justice
instead of lying around, fat and sassy, in a county Jail.

MUSIC CRAVE AND GAY

of course l am aware that there are those who arc
perfectly satisfied with any kind Of an old jazz band. and
they may possibly be in the majority, but why BE- guided
by those incompetent to Judge? r. simply to be amused
is sufficient, why not 20 the limit on saving. and procure
a hand organ and a monkey" Thus writes an earnest
citizen to a leading daily on the subject Of music = 1e
park"
After all. isn't the idea Of music ia the park 10
amuse the majority? So why be so sweeping in his de
nunciation Of the thing which does amnse them2
Crowds DO like gay. lively music They eo to the
parks to be cheered. not uplifted. and probably the mon
key and the hand organ would delight a lot of them at
that. Sta, any man who thinks any crowd won't enjoy
a little truly beautiful music as well has been - busy
listening TO the clamor OF his own egotism that he has
entirely failed to mark the hush which is their tribute to
the sweeter strains.
Park music should be like ST Paul. "all things to all
men" There should be the timer sort. but also the gay.
Public parks We're never intended for the benefit of the
select few who love their Chopin, but for the great mass
Of the common people, who have no other playground,
who are plain, uncritical folk that ike corned beef and
cabbage and popular music. and who. thank the Lord. are
easily amused.

ATTACKING FAITH.

People who think that faith Is reason and 50 attack
it with argument are astonlshed to ind that their blows
all recon on themselves. Faith is outside OF reason, it
is bigger than fact. Faith is love. trust. confidence, mys
terry things that laugh at reason. We would as soon
think of arguing against a mans faith as against a child's
love. The only way a man can argue successfully against
his %neehbor's faith is TO live q fairer, nobler. sweeter
life, and thus show his faith is the truest. Argument
is no more than The rumble Of a sound in a cave. It
takes omniscienee to know the absolute truth and yet
there are many people who talk as if the truth was their
own special belonging. When we wear one man attacking
another for not believing as he does We set him aside
as an object Of universal sympathy. His very attitude
makes his opinion unworthy OF confidence. God doesn't
care for a mans opinion and ~ II not impressed at VIC
let argument III support 81 it. We say am this hopins
TO abate somewhat the violence of controversy and 70
warn everybody that they are all wrong when they wan

undertaken as hopeless a task as Canute did when he
tried to sweep back the waves of the North Sea with n
broom. Probably he will fill his church by preaching
such sermons, but how many souls he will convert and
make Christians is another question.
No man in this world is going to change styles and
fashions by preaching against women's attire. No We
man ever permitted a man to tell her what she should
or should not wear since Eve wore fig leaves. so the
Rev. Myers is wasting his breath.
When it comes right down 20 brass tacks the wo-
men look pretty good To men, no matter what they wear.
The STYLES change. but the men love them just the same
There is only one thing about womens clothes that worry
men and that is how to pay for them.
And they set them anyway, whether they are paid
for or not. SO why worry.

ARE THERE NO THRILLS LEFT?

An amusing comment is made. by a writer in the
Kansas City Star. on the lack of noticeable excitement
in the United States oyer the preirninaries Of trans
Atlantic alrflight. Are there no thrills left at an2" asks
the observer in Kansas. If men cross the Atlantic in
the air We ought to be thrilled, because il really will be
rather an unusual thing. But about the time it il done
We probably shall hear that they have started to bore a
tunnel under the British Channel, and for a few minutes
that will engage our thoughts on the way TO the picture
show. where we will see tne lady leap from the cliff into
the tree top, followed by her pursuer. see the tree bend
back to the ground 10 which she escapes. and see the
tree fly back and hurl the unpopular character clear over
the top Of the mountain" Other observers have prob
ably been struck by the lack of excitement over the fliers,
but the public has had a good many thrills during the
past few years, and perhaps its capacity to thrill is TEN
Borarily lessened. Perhaps. too. people have taken
transatlantic flight for granted, declares the Christian
Science Monitor. 4

"A good woman is the greatest blessing in the world
