WORK AND SAVE.

The world owes no able-bodied
Stacker a living. He must go out
among his fellows and earn 1t. The
character of that living depends sole
ly upon the mental and physical equip
ment with which he has been endowed,
aided and developed by his own I'M
ceasing efforts. The work Stacker In
peace times is as much menace to
his country as his prototype in times
of war. He is costing his country
millions every year, and he 1t is who
Is pushing ever upward the cost OF
living through reduction of output and
effort. More individual effort and
more production will bring down the
cost of living and thereby remove dis
tress, says Washington Post. Thrift
is the lever through which this war
worn world is to be stabilized, for
neither the nation nor the individual
can get back to a rational basis 50
long as the desire to indulge in reck-
less spending controls it. "Work and
save" should be the slogan Of the ris-
ing generation, for upon the character
of those now entering upon mans es-
tate depends the future of this nation.

The colleges are producing gradu-
ates trained in practical and scientific
farming, and these young men are in
demand for farm managers and ranch
superintendent at salaries ranging
from $500 to $1,000 a year. This
looks like fine business both ways. 1t
is well that the colleges recognize the
importance of husbandry and it Is well
that a student who painstakingly
adopts such a career should find in
slant appreciation and reward. Agri-
culture Is inclined to fall into two
lines-the one-man farm where the
owner can take care of production
without much worry about help, and
the large ranch where most Of the
work is done by machinery. Into
either of these the college-trained
farmer should fit to advantage.

The recommendation that the Japa-
nese language schools of Hawaii be
abolished is in line with the new
Americanism called forth by the war.
That Notwithstanding event showed the
amount of propaganda accomplished
by separate language schools in this
country and its michievous effects. In
future. there should be no language
used in the schools of this nation and
its territories besides English.

The British military authorities have
acquitted of blame an officer in COM
mand who was responsible for the
Punjab massacre by ordering his
troops to turn their machine guns
upon 5000 unarmed natives, killing
500 and wounding 1,500. A commits
sion appointed to inquire into the facts
blamed this officer, but the military
stands by him, remarks Baltimore

military idea must be held in check
except in active warfare.

In report made public recently the
increase of suicide among children Is
noted, a particularly sad feature Of
contemporary life. The ages of these
child self-murderers, boys and girls,
average about. fifteen and sixteen
years. The lack of discipline and the
consequent failure of character max
ing, the inability in the self-indulgence
engendered by the bringing up Of
youth, is, no doubt, largely responsible
for the inability to endure any I'M
usual strain or disappointment among
the young. Whether or not this theory
is correct, the increase Of youthful
suicides is a matter demanding urgent
and earnest investigation and thought.

OF the royalties who attended the
funeral Of the late ex-Empress Eu-
genie some are still reigning. some
dethroned. The former must have had
thrust upon them the suggestion Of
how long their own hold upon the
throne will last in these days and how
many will escape her fate of descend
ing crownless into the grave, says Bal
timore American. Nothing has so en-
phasized the uncertainty of human
power and grandeur as the events
of the last few years, of which this
obscure burial of one once playing a
prominent part in the destinies of the
world is so striking an illustration.
