A SOF T
ANSWER

1t has long been said that "soft
answer turneth away wrath" And
If it be true, then surely the kind
reply of the Blackfoot school board
to petition, printed in this issue of
the Republican, asking that dances
be not given in school buildings and
that 'immodest and extravagant
dress" be squelched at the schools,
will put a stop to i'll feeling among
the protesting minority.
That 1t is a protesting minority
may safely be deduced from the fact
that not greater number of signers
appeared at the tail of said petition,
and that a few Of them have admitted
they signed in partial ignorance Of
the purport of the document.
1t is protesting minority be-
cause a majority of persons in the
United States believe in dancing as
pleasant and harmless diversion.
To be young. person and not dance
is to be one Of minority.
Most persons who favor dancing
at all favor it as carried on under
school management, chaperoned~ by
faculty members, and attended by
the finest class of young folks, those
who follow education, all of whom
are known in the community. School
dances the nation over are ever Of
the highest class and decency. This
is well known by the majority.
1t might be a very good thing if
the dress of, all children and young
people could be regulated and cut
to uniform pattern. Truly that
would foster a spirit of equality and
would be beautifully democratic.
However, it is un-American, and will
never be arranged.
1dentically as in the case of prohi-
bition dress reform would neces-
sarily have to be general and affect
one and all, and when it comes to
= sweeping dress reform the average
American is too Independent to re-
ceive dictation. You have to convert
the average home in order to carry
any reform into the school.
The school board should be COM
mended for its careful study of
these matters, and its wise judgment
in generating Superintendent Vim
cent and the school. faculty of any re-
proach implied in the petition, and
in. standing by the young folks on
the matter of dress.-F. c. X.

NO REST FOR
SUCCESSFUL

The saying, "No rest for the
wicked" makes one think that lazy
man was its author, because it is the
successful man that gets no rest.
The more service a man or nation
is able to perform for the world, the
more there will be to do
America helped largely in winning
the late war, and one of the means
was a concerted effort on the people s
part to swell production of all things
necessary to life.
Now the war is over, but it not
time to lay off Of the gardening and
let somebody else feed the world.
American is going to be called on to
take part in international affairs
more than ever, and her citizens can
not lay back and rest on laurels.
1t is time to bestir oneself in the
garden, cultivate, plant and watch
things grOw.-F. G. K.

WILSON OPPOSES
SECRET TREATIES
PRESIDENT THROWS DOWN THE
GAUNTLET TO SUPPORTERS
OF SUCH METHODS.
Peace Delegates Generally Regard
Statement Of American Repre-.
sentative as Challenge which
will Dispose of Question.

PariS.-President Wilson's emphatic
declaration that he will not yield on
the Adriatic question has created the
most profound sensation in the peace
conference. He has thrown down the
gauntlet to the supporters of secret
treaties In manner which almost took
away the breath Of the delegates who
have been urging compromises on
points covered by many secret docu-
ments and at variance with the presi-
dents fourteen points.
President Wilson's sweeping declara-
ton, while aimed directly atsthe Adri-
attic problems, also reaches the Kiao-
chow controversy, in which Japan re-
lies on secret agreements made with
Great Britain, France and Italy in
1917 to support her in her claim to the
concessions held by Germany in Shan
tung
The peace delegates generally re-
gard President Wilson's statement as
challenge which once for all will dis
pose of the question whether secret
documents, Of which many nations par
ticipating in the war were ignorant,
are to figure in the peace following an
armistice in which all the allies
pledged gave no regard to secret
treaties.
The president points out that every
condition concerning the Adriatic set
Element has been changed since Italy
entered the war upon the promises of
the pact of London, the Austro-H Hun
garian empire having disappeared. He
notes that new states have been Gre
ated, for which Fiume is the natural
outlet to the sea.
President Wilson also contends that
necessity, pleaded in behalf
of Italy's claim to the Dalmation is
lands, no longer prevails, as the Aus
trian naval menace has ceased to ex-
list.
In issuing his official statement of
the Adriatic question President Wilson
let it be known that he desired once
again to call attention to the fact that
there were certain well-defined prin-
ciples which have been accepted by the
peoples of the world as the basis for a
lasting peace. The United States dele
cation simply recalled this In order
that there should be no deviation from
these principles.

WELCOME DANCE FOR
SERVICE MEN CROWDED

A large attendance answered Mr..
Buchannan's call for Wednesday
evening. The music seemed better
than ever and the punch couldn't
have been better under present laws
and limitations.
Progress hall was all decorated;
the lights were shaded with red and
blue transparent materials, ribbons
gracefully led the eye away from
straight lines and square corners,
American and allied flags shone out
triumphantly from every wall.
A pretty big majority Of the men
out to the dance were service men,
who were admitted free whether in
uniform or not. Mr.. Buchanan an
-nounced that in about thirty days he
would give another such party for
the army and sailor men coming
home.
