Are Vacations Sinful?

Omaha Bee: This is poor time of
year for Senator Smoot to come forth
with the boast that he has never taken
q vacation. No wonder he is quoted
o. saying that his life is very unin-
taEesting. He has never known the

With his entire face peeling loose and

mpuntains sprawling around in his
home state Of Utah. but probably if
n climed one Of them the senator
would call it work and deny that he
was just out for the fun.
The witness further confesses that
he never attends baseball games nor
splays golf. that he works sixteen
hours day and would rather raise
.$he tariff than attend a theater.' His
scnly recreation is sleeping seven hours
each night.
It takes all kinds of men to make

It appears the more restrictions
that are placed around the liquor traf-
fic the more chances the gentry handl-
ing the stuff will take in disposing of
the home brew" But the wonder of
it all is how gulable public will
quench their "thirst" with a concoc-
ton that is a poison Of such strength
that if it is not an immediate call
for the undertaken will require that

Overstayed the Trip.

Louis Globe-Democrat: Owen John

island train trying to read his even

inebriated men in the seat back of
him. Their conversation was mean

voices and had evidently been on
spree Of several days.

DISARMAMENT PROPOSALS

The people have been glad to learn
that the United States delegates to
the disarmament conference have op-
ened up things at the start with some
definite proposals for cutting down
the load of naval construction. This
looks like business. Unless some one
presents some clear-cut proposition,
backed by authoritative information
about naval resources of the various
nations. the whole meeting might
blow up with nothing doing.
It would seem fair proposition if
all the leading powers would agree to
stop construction of practically all of
the war vessels at this moment for q
period of say five to ten years. If
you could get them to do that, the
chances are they would never begin
again.
The United States would have ia
vorable position if such action were
taken. Germany. the power it for
merly dreaded the most, is wiped out
as a naval power. Our fleet would
still be far superior to Japan's. Not
many people ever have believed that
Great Britain would wish or would ev-
en- dare to attack the United States.
If the United States keeps on aug
menting its fleet, other powers will
keep pace, and the whole world will
rush toward bankruptcy. The Unit
ed States might secure itself against
the possibility of attack by doubling or
tripling its fleet, but by so doing, it
would expose itself to other evils

UNITING SCHOOL AND HOME

There are certain problems in which
there is = tendency for the schools and
the homes to pass the buck to each
other. The parents find fault because
the young people do not learn faster
in the schools, and the schools are Of
ten able to retort that the pupils have
outside interests and habits which
make good work in the class room i'm
possible.
Many parents are amazingly ignor-
ant Of the methods by which a fine
type Of young people can be develop
ed. They send their children off to
school with lunches of pickles, cake
and candy, and then think that the
youngsters get pale faces and anaemic
bodies as the result of overstudy. They
allow their young folks to be up very
frequently at dances and other enter
tainments until early morning hours,
and then wonder why the pupils have
no pep" the next day.
They permit young girls to have
unlimited freedom with all kinds of
boys, and then blame the mixed as
sociations Of the public schools for
low moral standards. They allow the
children to attend all kinds of moy-
ing pictures and read all varieties of
sensational novels and then wonder
that the youngsters think their school
lessons are dull and the teacher has
no enthusiasm.
Here is field of effort on which
much more might be done in Jules
burg. No matter how much interest
our progressive people may take in
education, there are always careless
homes that turn their children over
to the schools to be educated with as
little thought as they would turn shoes
over to the cobblers to be repaired.
There ought to be in connection
with every school, some organization
in which teachers and parents should
meet, and discuss the development of
young people and the policies on which
the school and home ought to unite.
The Parent Teachers association in
Julesburg is doing a great work for
the benefit of our schools, and this
organization should have the hearty
cooperation of all the citizens of this
community.

And little later Judge Fisher ex-
pressed in = clear-cut fashion q prin-
ciple that lies deep in the mind Of ev-
cry editor worthy of the name. 1t is
that a newspaper which makes it a
practice to mislead or misinform its
readers cannot prosper. Said Judge
Fisher:
ut cannot long indulge in false
hoods, however, without losing that
confidence from which alone come its
power, its prestige and its reward. On
the other hand, the harm which would
certainly result to the community
from an officialdom unrestrained by
fear of publicity is incalculable."
The court said that if the suit could
be maintained "then public officials
would have in their power one of the
most effective instruments with which
to intimidate the press and silence

RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF
THE NEWSPAPERS

Volumes have been written about
the power of the press and, doubtless,
volumes will continue to be written to
the end of time. But Judge Fisher of
the Circuit Court at Chicago, in the
recent decision in which he ruled in
favor Of the Chicago Tribune in Ii
bel suit brought against it in the
name of the City Of Chicago, but in
reality by a political gang in that
city, which resented the fearless ex-
pose of its weakedness by the defend
ant paper, crowded within the limits
of his decision some thoughts that
come home with great force to the
mind of the editor of the Grit-Advo-
cate.

THE REPUBLICAN, LEADERSHIP

~ mas DecOme nOClceaDle during re-
cent weeks. how little criticism exists
of the president and his cabinet. AL
most everyone admits that Mr.. Hard
ing has done we'll, and that his cabi-
net is showing great ability. Plans
and suggestions made for the stabi-
lizing of economic conditions seem to
be very practical.
These men take hold as if they knew
how. There are many takers in this
world who are strong on criticism.
They can crate eloquently over the
mistakes of other people. They can
show how existing conditions are far
from ideal and how great wrongs are
being perpretrated. The popular
heart thrills under the spell Of their
oratory, and thinks what fine and
wonderful men these are.
Sometimes such men get into office
But then they face something wholly
different. Their lives have been lives
of talk, of looking at things from the
outside. 1t is different proposition
to take the management yourself, and
take hold of bad situations and say
what should be done to improve them
Men of that type usually start with
some plan of reconstruction from tor
to bottom, introducing wholly differ
ent ideas and radical changes of meth
ods.
But the result is that all these un
tried ideas do not fit human natur,
