PUBLIC OPINION ELSEWHERE

On the first page of the Register
is published this week an article from
the Argus-Leader, of Sioux Falls, re.
garding big meeting of the farmers
and business men OF Minnehaha
county held to consider the matter
of good highways. Our readers can
see from this report that there is no
hesitancy on the part of the farmers
in that county to get solidly behind
the proposition and give 1t ali the
momentu.a that il requires TO adopt
the idea and carry on campaign
for the voting of the bonds necessary.
There are many good ideas in this
article that can be applied TO the
solution OF the same question in re-
gard 10 its being handled in Brook
ings county. II is not up to thS
cities or villages TO push this matter
TO the end. II is up TO the farmers
TO take hold of II and ask the men
in the cities to help them. 1t is the
farmer who il going to be the great
est gamer. IL is those who live away
from tine markets who will get the
most service from these roads and
il is for them to signify that they
want these improvements that are
going TO make the farms more yalu-
BILE and the products raised on the
farms more easily disposed of. OF
course the merchants and people OF
the towns are anxious to have good
roads. itt vii; viii make * easier tor the
farmer to get in to do his trading.
II will bring the produce OF the farm
TO the door of the purchaser sooner.
But the people In the cities are the
minority of the population and they
should expect the majority to move
In this matter. There is no doubt but
what every citizen will help IL the
thing is started, but 1t is the agri-
cultural interests of the county who
should make the move to have the
petitions circulated. There are many
men among the farming communities
who have the brains and the ability
TO start this campaign and the Regis
ter knows that they will receive all
the help that the City of Brookings
can give. With the move made in
Minnehaha Conunty. and all prospects
of success going with it, it is folly
for Brookings County to wait. We
must be UP and doing to get the start
that will give us the rank to which
our wealth and Importance as a
county entities us. We must not be
one of the "also rams" but rather one
OF the leaders IN this race for good
highways. The time is not far dis
tant when all the counties will be
doing this, and shame it would be
indeed If Brookings County remained
until among the last to start.

THE PROBLEM OF PARENTS


Much IS said about lawlessncss
of children, particularly the young
boy element Much also might be
added about the lawlessness of par
cnts.
For instance, the police of not dis
tant city issued loud complaint re-
Gently concerning the attitude of par
ents in backing uD law-breaking chill
drcn. 1t was complained that many
acts of vandalism had been perform
ed. 1t had proved impossible for the
churches to maintain sign boards Civ
ing notices of services \ few over
smart youngsters considered it a hu-
morous exploit to tear down those
signs.
When the police located the per
petrators of these and other acts. they
complained they could get no salts
faction from parents. The latter
would ridicule and defy the police,
often in the presence of the refrac-
tory children.
Police officers are long-headed men
who have had practical experience
with human nature, and know where
to look for trouble. They are apt 10
be too lenient. rather than too severe.
1t is up to every parent to back up
the police in efforts to restrain dis
order. The acts that young people
commit as far as positive money dam
age goes. are usually trifling But IT
is the spirit of the thing that is bad
The boy who begins by stealing signs
robbing fruit, and minor depredations
Is getting into u state of antagonism
to law and order and property rights
that can easily develop into crime.
So when police officers complain of
your boy, cooperate with them. If
the boy is sharply reproved by his
parents he will usually see there is
nothing smart in breaking the law.
He can be made to understand that
laws are made to protect the people
and advance the community, and that
anyone who breaks them hurts him
self more than anyone else.

FiSKE FORESAW LEAGUE or

From John Fiske's The Critical
Period in American History"
Thus at length was realized the sub
lime conception of nation IN which
every citizen lives under two complete
and well rounded systems of laws
the state law and the federal law
each with it's legislature, its executive
and its judiciary moving one within
the other noiselessly and without fric-
ton. 1t was one of the longest reach
es of constructive statemanship ever
known in the world. Their was never
anything quite like it before. and in
Europe It needs much explanation to-
day even to educated statesmen who
have never seen its workings. Yet to
Americans it has become so much
matter of course that they. too, some
times need to he told how much it
signifies. In 1887 it was the substitu-
ton of law for violence between states
that were partly sovereign.
In some still grander convention we
trust the same thing will be done be-
tween states that have been wholly
sovereign, whereby peace may gain
and violence be diminished over other
lands than this which has set the ex-

\ PARALLEL 20 YEARS SINCE.

''l'' ~ tnLiNlh ihtlIbllN tll.
An instructive if not very reassur-
ing parallel to the present situation in
Germany is to be found in the France
of lS4S, when the provisional govern
mcnt which was in charge til the con-
Stitutent assembly should meet was
menaced on the one side by tho i'm
perialists and legitimists on the other
by the socialists. Even within the
government there was a clash between
the parliamentary republicans, headed
by Lamartine, and the social republic
cans, headed by Louis Blanc, a divis7
ion III many respects corresponding
to the division between the bourgeois
and socialist elements in the German
provisional government,
The sequel is we'll known. At the
elections held May %, the moderates
pollcd a great majority in the coun-
try at large, and even in Paris won
ag many seats as the right and left
together But this put an end to the
hopes of socialistic reforms, which
even the moderate socialists had
cherished, while combining with the
bourgeois liberals to support law and
order,
The dissatisfaction of the Bolshe-
wiki of that day was so great that they
appealed to force, and the civil war
resulting was far more serious than
any clash which has yet occurred in
Germany Between June 23 and 26
more than 10000 men were killed or
wounded in the street fighting in
Paris. The revolt was put down, but
at the cost of q reaction which made
Louis Napoleon first president and
then emperor, and France did not es-
cape this military autocracy till Ger
many overthrow it in 1879. Victor
Hugo then said he was glad Germany
had dethroned Napoleon III and hoped
that Frence some day would de-
throne the king of Prussia.
Whether the moderate forces in
Germany, as compared with the mill
tarists and the radicals, are stronger
now than they were in the France of
1S4S is one of the things still to be
tested. In any case, it is we'll to re-
member that the danger comes from
both sides.
