tural college system by granting
Federal public lands to the states
for educational purposes. Recently
Congress has gone further and ap-
propriate Federal funds for the
support of secondary grade Voca-
tional schools. "
The Blair bill, so long before Con-
eres, sought to make the govern
ment a contributor to the state puo-
lie schools. 1t never passed, although
many Southern Democrats suspend
ed their state rights prejudlces IN
order to support it. Now there Is d
movement to create an executive

be appropriated to improve state
primary schools, especially for the
purpose of overco ming illiteracy.
Universal education is a moral and
economic asset for any nation. The
chief political objection to national
infiltration in this field is the stlil
widespread fear of an abridgment
of state autonomy.
The construction of public roads
has also been almost exclusively a
state task. There was an attempt IN
the period after the War of 1872
to commit Congress to the theory
that roads were public improve
ments, on par with river and har-
bor betterments. National turnpikes

Mr.. Wilson was great man to
these intellectuals as long as he did
not know what the war was about.
AS soon as he discovered he was
anathema, and the pacifists trans
ferred their hopes elsewhere, prin-
cipally to the Germans by some
strange perversity.
While the peace was being writ
ten it was the league of nations
that was to remold the world. But,
alas! those fond hopes have utterly
vanished from the radical creed.
Nothing is more disliked than this
same league. Even Bolshevism has
lost it's bloom. 1t is beginning to be
conceded that no complete guide to
Utopia is likely to be written by
Messrs. Lenine and Trotzky.
Thus our radicals come out at
the next and last chance, educa-
ton. They are conceding the stupi-
dity of existing generations and the
folly of trying to convert them.

Therefore, presto! let the revolu-
ton be shifted to the next genera
ton! Burn the existing schoolbooks,
teach children that peace is every
thing and all men everywhere are
brothers, and then at last will come
the millennium. As Mr.. Jerome X.
Jerome douches the latest pacifist
hope in Common Sense:
"To the generation that is fling
ing aside its school satchels and
pouring out into the world mis-
CHEF has already been done. The
joys of battle have been installed
into our youngsters. The man on
the prancing horse, Staying and
laying waste the land, has been
duly held up to him as the model
hero. Our empire days have come
and gone, the Union Jack has been
duly waved and the fact impressed
upon his mind that the English
mans God-appointed duty is to re-
lieve every other country not
strong enough to defend itself Of
the burden of it's own possessions,
that he sun has no right toIset upon
any part Of the earth that does not
belong to Great Britain. Every boy
you speak to dreams of one day
driving tank or dropping bombs
from an aeroplane. Whether upon
Germans, Russians, Frenchmen or
Americans, he is-to do him JUS
ticc-im7artially Indifferent. While
every high-spirited girl dreams Of
being shot at sight as a Red Cross
nurse and having hideous me-
mortal erected to her memory in
Trafalgar Square,"
It is something to have the revo-
luton postponed a generation. But
we do wish our pacifist friends
would go e step further and, exam
ining a few boys and girls, would
find out just how much wars and
enmities are implanted in their soul
by education and just how much ma
tive scrappniess is eongenitai and
indelible. Perhaps some of the un-
natural national animosities could
be extinguished by the truth. They
are being so lessened, as a matter
of fact. But the will to fight needs

F | GU RES ESTABLISH
FACT THAT THERE Isl
NO RACE-SU|C|DE HERE

Oklahoma City, Okla. June 19.-The
vital statistics department of the
state board of health in its report
Just issued deals a blow to the allie
cations that Oklahoma is guilty Of
race suicide.
To offset any such statement, the
state board submits two sets of trip
/ let's, 427 pairs of twins and a grand
total of 31,9S9 babies born in Oklahoma
during the year 1919. Compared with
the birth rate in 1918, last years
births show gain Of 70S.
The total number Of deaths in 1919
was 1896, or daily average of
/ 81 In 1918 there were 1881. or a
difference of 4,O76. This wide var
lance in the death list is directly
traceable to influenza and pneumonia.
the report states. In 1918, the first
year of the influenza epidemic, g.
I 5l3 died from this cause alone, while
last year the same disease took toll
of only 2,795.
There is a decided decrease in the
l
while there was a substantial in
crease in twins. According to the re-
port, there were ten sets of triplets
and 299 of twins in 1918, or a total
of 62S babies born with one or more
brother or sister. The 1919 figures
however, show $50 such births, so
there was total increase of 232 babies
due TO a large crop of twins.
Nineteen nineteen was the banner
/ twin year in the history of the state.
The total number of births in 1919
! were 1889, and in 1918 31,2S1. Or
/ those born during last year there
were 1858 males and 15.466 females.
Whites numbered 30,5l0; negroes 9l7
and Indians 562.
OF the two sets Of triplets born IN
Oklahoma last year, Oklahoma City
/ claims one set and Graham, a Wiz
/ lage in Carter county the other.
Persons who insist that economic

contention. Tulsa county, the richest
/ per capita of any county in Oklahoma,
| had twenty-three pairs of twins-thc
largest number of any in the state.
Pottawatomie, the county that furnish
| es most of the athletes for the state
schools, became the home of seventeen
pairs during the past year. Bryan
county is the exception that proves tbs
rule. 1t is neither great in population
nor wealth. but it helped swell the
census figures by fourteen pairs or
twins
"The total increase in births is real

said Miss Ethel +. Hawley director
of the department of vital statistics,
because not nearly all the birth
records are being sent in. We receive
more accurately the death reports as

I am convinced that those of us

"I am convinced that unity Of ac-

selves in the current Of congressional
elections will insure the country
against legislative reaction.

Furthermore, We have the possibility
of having administrative measures

of the federal government and to meet
the many economic issues before us,

For all these reasons, I believe
that those of us who look upon party
organization not from the point Of
view of partnership, but solely from
the view of its usefulness rs an
agency of maximum service to the
country, should support the republi
can party, at the polls"

WELD COUNTY
BRIDGE PROBLEM

A article In the Weld County News
goes at length into the road prob
lem Of this county. It ID too long
for reproduction entire. but we CLEAN
from that article the fact that q
dozen bridges now condemned. three
OF these cross the Platte, and to re-
build these bridges with permanent
structures would crowd close to a
half million dollars. or 50 per pent
more than our entire road and
bridge fund.
The primary is now over, but an
election Is coming. Candidates
would like to promise you that they
will reduce the county tar; but bear
In mind that It can't be done. II
may be possible to reduce expenses
sin some places, but any such re-
dution that may be possible will not
begin to eQdal the increase that will
have to be, made In the road and
bridge fund II Weld County IL to
maintain its roads In anything like
creditable shape. %
These are disagreeable facts for
the overburdened tax payer to con-
slider. but since they are the facts,
he is entitled to know them. The
officer who tries to dodge them at
the present time will find them arise
at some future time to plague and
confuse him.
In speaking Of cost Of road main-
tenace, the News calls attention to
eastern states where vastly more
money is spent In counties that have
one-tenth Of our road mileage.
