DISCREDITABI.E COURSE.
IRnnlfnn.d RaoiSfaE-N

IRockford Registerl
1t is questionable II there has been
any act of President Wilson's during
his whole course as chief executive
which has caused a greater loss OF
confidence in him as man or as a
leader worthy of popular regard than
his recent vetoing OF the prohibition
enforcement bill, which wisely aimed
at preventing a nationwide carnival
of drunkenness and debauchery be-
tween the signing of the peace treaty
and the going into effect Of the ma
ton wide prohibitory amendment in
January of the new year. And the
president got precisely what was COM
ing to him on a basis of real and just
deserts, when both houses of congress
passed the measure over his veto by
much more than the required two
thirds vote. 1t would be interesting
if We could know just what influence
was paramount with the president
when he penned that ill-fated veto,
but whatever 1t was, it did more to
cause loss OF respect for the chief ex-
ecutive than any influence which has
had his ear during his entire career.
CONSOLIDATION AT REINBECK.
tReinbeck Courier.l
The little red school house. famed
in song and story and long a very good
and real feature OF rural life in Amer
lea, Is passing. In its place we have
the large brick building with its cook
ing and sewing Glasses, its gymnasium,
its courses In agriculture with the ao-
companying calf club, feeding clubs.
experimental gardens and all that the
modern farmer demands and has
right to demand for the education OF
his boys and girls. .. ....
The thing that has brought this
about Is consolidation, the co-opera-
ton of country and town to give better
things to the growing generation than
preceding generations enjoyed. The old
idea of education as thing which en-
abled the recipient to make living
without work Is dead The new idea
is that education should enable the
one educated to do better work and to
find greater satisfaction in the doing.
A year or so ago the question of
consolidating the rural school districts
of the township with the school dis
trict Of Reinbeck was preached but it
never came to a vote and nothing was
done about ii. 1t is the proper time to
begin thinking Of it again.
Good roads, permanent roads viii re-
move the greatest single objection to
this project, and they are surely COM
ing. But it is not good sense to wait
for the road question to be fully set
tied before taking up the eonsolida-
ton. The fact that the roads are
sure to be made permanent is enough.
The single remaining objection is the
idea that some Of the farmers have
that the reason they are invited into
the consolidated district IS that they
may be made to pay an increased tax
to support the school. They do not IN
many cases take into consideration

World Centenary Drive.

The Methodist world centenary
drive for sos, 100000 and $500 life
service volunteers is on here in
Princeton and the pledges are coming
in ranging from two cents week
from the little children of the Sunday
school up 40 $500 for the fve-year
period. Two new slogans are on the
lips Of all solicitors, "Win the World
to Christ" and "Make Democracy
Safe for the World" Each contribu-
tor will be given very unique emblem
showing a red cross and the words
rebuilding the world" which indi-
Gates the precise thing which the
church of Christ is determined to do.
If tens Of thousands of noble men and
women are willing during the war to
die for the good of humanity we who
survive ought to consider it high
privilege to live for the good of hu-
mainly. The quota for the Princeton
charge is $1,359 year for five years,
and the Methodist church here wants
to go over the top by next Sunday
night. Every Sunday school teacher
and every unit leader must go con
high" to reach our goal by the ap-
pointed time. James A. Geer.

Italians are boiling over with mad
ness. A Rome dispatch says that on
Saturday the inhabitants of that city
held big demonstration and changed
the name of Wilson street to that of
Fiume boulevard. Such petty stuff as
this is mere damphooEshness and, be-
sides, it shows spiteful feeling which
is inexcusable in the eyes of the world.
Let Italy do her "damnedest," as the
philosopher said; she will eventually
get the worst of it if she does not be-
have. Threats of little country like
this do not disturb the delegates at the
peace conference one iota; in fact not
more than would threat from insig-
nifcant Greece. g.

Even with 16 armed gendarmes, fur
nished at the. expense of the Dutch
government to see that no evil-dis-
posed person obtrudes, the ex-kaiser
is in constant fear that someone will
strike him down. The arch murderer
fears that an assassin may enter the
castle surreptitiously or by subterfuge
and release his cankered soul from its
bloody encasement. He is nervous
wreck, startled even at his own voice.
He rushes to cover in his bombproof
hole in the ground whenever a feeting
shadow of a bird passes over the
greensward. Even his own dogs give
him wide berth because Of his bru-
tally. Yet the world cannot offer him
sympathy for he has brought this
punishment from the Lord upon him
self for his monstrous sins. May he
live to suffer more and at last .expiate
his crimes on the gallows..

The following from Samuel

The following from Samuel Com
pers' New York address is we'll worth
reproducing: '"All of you who know
me or know of my attitude in regard
to labor conditions know my absolute
opposition to bolshevism. In fact, if
it were put into operation it would
mean the decadence or perversion of
the civilization of our time. To me
the story of the desperate Sampson
who pulled the temple down on his
head is an example of what is meant
by bolshevism. am not willing that
the little service that I have been able
to render during the long years that ]
have attempted to improve conditions
in constructive way should be de-
stroyed by maddened desperation. And
so l may say to you that it is well
for us to see now that our own house
is kept in order"

AS the Union predicted, Senator
Hamer made good-he worked for the
best interests of the farmers and his
other constituents, and he worked
hard. Senator Hamer, it cannot be de-
MED, voted right on every issue that
came up-he represented the district
in straightforward, conscientious
manner despite the asseverations of the
bolshevist editor to the contrary. Sem
ator Hamer is man who cannot be
cajoled into voting for a measure
which he knows is not for the best
interests of his constituents, and he
has demonstrated this by his ac-
tions. Mile Laos county should feel
proud of the work performed by Sena-
tor Richard Hamer in the first session
in which he has been called upon to
serve. Let US give credit where credit
is due.

for the dissatisfaction prevailing
throughout the country and altogether
to blame for the inefficiency of the
postal, telephone and telegraph SER
vice. AS many Of these leading demo-
Gratis who want Burleson ousted are
advisors of President Wilson, it is
probable that when he returns he will
give the postmaster general his walk
ing papers, but the difficulty would be
in finding a southern democrat equal
to the task of running the department
any better than the present incapable
official. And, of course, only south
erner would be considered.

tate to determine which policy towards
the bolshevists is the more obnoxious,
that of the president or that of Mr..
Hoover. The president, having ap-
pointed three American bolshevists to
hobnob with Lenine and his fellow
criminals, wants to give the Lenine
government official recognition. That
is to say, he would give such recogni-
ton to a government against which
our soldiers are fighting. Mr.. Hoover
would send food supplies to the bolshe-
visits on the benign principle of chok-
ing cat with cream. That is to say
he would, potentially, supply food to
the Russian army that is fighting
against our own.

The National Security league has
arrived at the conclusion that the best
antidote for bolshevism is American
ism and that Americanism is purely a
question of education. Hence the
league will put forth efforts to combat
radical propaganda through the me-
dunn of students in the various schools
of the country. This seems to be the
proper course-to get at the root of
the evil and destroy it before it has
an opportunity to propagate it's
species. At least it is a commenda-
BILE proposition.
