THE CONSCRIPTION QUESTION.
[Dubudue Times Journal

dubuque Times Journal
One of the strangest things which
we have ever noticed is the fact That
the leading advocates of the league
covenant arc also advocates Of con-
sCription in time Of peace. Perhaps
the most vigorous organ of the finan-
cial interests who want both things to
protect their European investments is
the New York Times. In recent edi-
torial it notes with regret that prac-
tically all of the returning soldiers are
opposed to an alliance which will give
them the pleasure of returning TO
Europe for every war which may be
Waged there.
We wish every returned soldier could
read exactly what the New York Times
has to say:
They are. of course, doubly mis-
taken. Their present mood is one
that will pass as soon as time blunts
the memory of their hardships ana
their grievances. When that happens
they will become again ordinary Amer
leans. with the ordinary Americans
sensitive regard for his Country's safe
" and honor.
In the next place, il we ever have
another war, it will be fought from the
beginning by the Conscripts, not by
volunteers, and conscripts are not
asked whether they want TO go to war
or not. They are enrolled, trained,
and sent to the front"
This is good news.
Wall street knows how such things
are managed and the young men Of
America need not worry about any of
the great questions Ike foreign wars.
CHANCELLOR AVERYS STAND.
[Sloux City Journal.l
Patriotic and intelligent Americans
will applaud the stand OF Chancellor
Avery Of the Nebraska University in
refusing to admit to that institution
prospective students connected with
the soviet government OF Russia. The
chancellor has struck directly at the
principles which would overthrow all
educational institutions and substitute
for them a policy OF mental abomina-
tions which would turn the world back
to the ignorance of the dark ages. So
Wet advocates do not want learning
of that kind for which universities
stand. They want people~educated 10
narrow views of thinking which will
make them advocates of the theory of
soviet governments, but with no views
on other matters, except when collat-
eral education viii contribute TO the
establishment or perpetuation OF their
doctrines. The Rand school of social
science is their ideal Of an opportunity
for education.
1t might be argued against the ac-
ton of Chancellor Avery that the uni
versity environment might have re-
deemed the prospective students from
their errant ways. a few drops OF
prussic acid placed in a well might
not poison all who drank from it,;
waters, but no one knowing the pres
ence of the poison would care to take
the risk. The universities are filled
with youths whose minds are. plastic.
They have not acquired that mental
acumen and strength which enable the
more experienced to sift the illusory
from the 81 bstantlal. a germ here and
there might later develop a dangerous
anarchist 1t is better TO keep the
germ away than to eradicate its conse-
Guences later. If this were not true
