Tourists Experience

Many people take summer va
cation by igoiDg on sight seeing
tour to some interesting section of
the country. Let no one think he
is going to get any vacation rest out
of it. He will probably return
much more weary than he started.
Yet anyone who takes such q
trip usually feels that bis labor is
well repaid He is cheered for
many days by the memories of
beautiful country or fine cities he
has seen. He has met interesting
people. talked upon new subjects
and got different points of view.
He returns a broader American
citizen. He begins to see that his
own state and section does not con-
tain all the wisdom and virtue, and
that people with a somewhat differ
ent inheritance have their own
points of view which have some de-
gree of wisdom.
Also he gets ideas of civic ad-
vantage He learns how different
towns solved their community prob
lens. and have put through pro-
gressive measures. He begins to
see how his home town might take:
some advance step. solve old prob
lens, and build new institutions.
. Most men get ideas helpful to
their business by travelling. They
are inspired with the swing of the
giant stride that Twentieth Century
America is taking. They have seen
big things accomplished. they have.
more faith in their own ability to
do big things. They have a definite:
idea in many details as to how 9TH
er people and other sections have
achieved successes.
So the returned tourists may talk
so fast about what he has seen that
his neighbors weary of his CONVEX
ton. He may have a fiat pocket
book, but his head is buleine with
ideas. Anyway he is the possessor
of an experience worth all it cost.
But whatever the glories he has
seen. he almost invariably comes
back with the feeling that the good
old home town of Monroe City is
the best place yet.

Presidential Outlook

The fundamental problem which
American statescra has now to
meet, is that of social justice. The
American people fought and made
enormous sacrifices to make this
country and the world safe for de
mocracy. But they had not gone
very far before they saw that
Kaiserism is not the only foe from
which democracy is in danger.
They also saw that there is the
power OF selfish wealth and of mon.
eyed aristocracy, which makes the
world unsafe for democracy. They
turned first attention to the most
immediate and pressing danger,
that created by the Prussian auto
cracy. Now to finish the job, it is
necessary also to meet the dangers
that grow out of the selfish and un-
democratic use of wealth. One
thing runs into the other, and it is
all q battle for political rights aud
social justice. The Kaiser and his
wicked associates might be de-
strOyed, and the world remain ex-
ceedinely undemocratic and repre-
sentative of social advance and
human progress.
The democratic forces of the
world have therefore attacked the
powers of selfish privilege in the
same spirit with which they attack
ed the Kaiser. Although in this
country the masses enjoy the privi-
leees of political democracy. too of.
ten they are robbed of its fruits by
the manipulatiOns of wealth and by
unscrupulOus politicians.
Industrial democracy does not
yet exist on any considerable
scale. The management of the
great industries is too autocratic.
The workers have their great share
in the creation of those industries
as well as capital. The hearty CO.
operation of the workers is essential
to their success. The workers
should have something to say
about their management
This is the most pressing of the
great new problems which the war
has brought home to the American
people. What is the attitude of
the two great parties at this parting
of the Ways9

Country Town Gossip

Some people express dislike of
life in country towns, on the ground
that there is too much small and
petty gossip. They think people
show too much curiosity in regard
TO the sffairs of their neiehbors.
So people usually 90 to the other
extreme of moving to some large
city, where they may live for years
without any neighbor speaking to
them. They may fall sick and no
one call to inquire or offer to lend
hand About that time they be-
gin to wish they were back in the
e0ssiping country, where those
curious neiehbors would tumble
over each other to offer services.
The trouble with these people is
that they are too sensitive or to Sc.
cEe,ive. They ought to realize that
the people of a country town are
or should be close neighbors to each
other. practically members of one
big family. 1t is a perfectly nor.
NAL thing for people to be interest,
ed in the things the community
family is doing.
If they 60 off for a little trip anC
carefully conceal their destination
neiehbors with sporting blood anc
a normal desire for information
naturally speculate on where they
ate going. If before they 60, they
take pains to hand a simple ant
modest little item to the newspape
the thing is printed, everyon,
knows it, and there is no reason
for gossip about it.
Nothing is so interesting in tn,
world as human life. You can flint
the satisfaction of character jus
as well in prairie village as in
metropolitan theater. The peopl
who have generous and kindly nat
ures do not come in for criticism
Those who are cold and selfish ant
alOof, or who are egotistical aud un
scrupulous, are the ones that suffer
The gossip is no doubt helpful t
them in correcting these faults. ,

the basis should be on the assess

Herbert Fisher Slated
For Ambassador to u. s,
Ne1O York Tribune
n

LONDON, June 8.-The announce
ment that Herbert Albert Laurens
Fisher, president Of the Board Of Edu-
cation, has gone to Paris is taken to
indicate his early appointment as Brit
ish Ambassador to the United States.
Mr.. Fishers main educational work
in England was accomplished with the
passing Of the education act of 1918,
which may now be left to the admins
tration of local bodies. 1t is thought
tho American interest in educational
matters may make his appointment
popular on the other side of the water.
Commenting on the prospective ap-
pointment, "The Times" says:
"He (Mr. Fisher) has been engaged
at home in the great democratic task
Of opening the gates of opportunity to
every citizen. In America he would
stand for British ideals at the moment
when their essential identity with the
ideals of the United States Of America
has been established by the searching
test Of war"
The Irish, movement in America is
likely to hasten the departure of the
new ambassador. The passing Of SEN
ator Borah's resolution to secure a
hearing for De Valera at the peace
conference has impressed Great Britain
with the necessity Of counteracting
Irish agitation in the United States.

completed, and 1t is now felt the strik-

The fight against the Soviet idea,
which lay behind the attempt to tie
up the whole city, though probably not
half Of the strikers knew this, has been
long and bitter, and skillfully handled.
Perhaps it's most remarkable feature
has been the successful efforts Of both
sides to avoid violence. Apart from a
few fist fights and some mild disorder,
there has been no trouble.
The strikers have asserted that they
wanted to demonstrate the peaceful
force" Of labor, and have also been i'm
pressed by the show Of force made by
the citizens, show that was largely a
bluff in the early days Of the strike,
but that is now overwhelming. The
citizens have been even more anxious
to give no provocation. since they felt
an appeal to arms would not settle the
question, though it would win the
strike.
It was due to the efforts Of citizens

bers in active service and as many

in the community which will fight to a
finish, if it cannot defeat, any attempt
to put "proletarian dictatorship" into
effect.
The battle with the soviet is won,
though the radicals are not yet en-
tirely convinced that they have been
beaten and are still hanging on in the
hope of outside support. But their
forces are disintegrating, and the next
few days are expected to bring re-
sumption Of the streetcar service, the
last public utility to be put back into
running order.
The organization in the last few
days Of a special constabulary, including
100 mounted men, who can be counted
on to maintain order and give the pro-
lection that the police have refused,
has been the final factor in the VIC
tory.
Behind this has been the change in
attitude of some Is per cent Of the re-
turned soldiers from neutrality to an
active support Of the city. The or
ganization Of thousands Of older citi-
zens into reserve army has also been

British Soldiers Mutiny

PLYMOUTH, June S.-Fifteen hun
dred British troops Of General Allen
by's force in Egypt and Palestine, who
returned here tonight after having
served at Gallipoli and in Mesopotamia,
Palestine and the Balkans, refused to
entran for an isolation camp. The
order was given because six cases of
suspected smallpox had been discov-
cred during the voyage to England.
The soldiers who had entrained left
the cars and the others refused to
enter. The authorities finally gave way
and the mon went to rehabilitation
centres instead of the isolation camp.
Interested spectators of the scene
were officers and mn of the U. S. S.
Aroostook, which shortly will return to
New York.

has been maintained. The strike tied
up absolutely every part Of the public
service except the police. and they
were admittedly taking orders from the
strikers. The citizens organized what
was practically a counter revolution,
and placed at the disposal Of the gov
ernment such forces as enabled it to
put back into commission every one of
its functions.
To-day the city is functioning al
most as usual. except for streetcars
and the delays due to the inexperience
of the citizens who filled the strikers
places.
Winnipeg has shown that it can live
