IMPROVEMENT IN LYNCHING.

In the case of ~lynchings, no news is
always the best news. 1t is good news
that there were only 81 persons lynchcd
in the United States last year, as against
So the year before. OF this number 53
were Negroes. 1t is impossible to say,
| without having at hand complete crimi-
nal statistics for the country, whether
this continued majority of colored vic
Tins is due to greater c~riminality on the
part of Negroes along the lines that in
wife Iynching. or to more violent hoStil-
ity against black offenders than against
white.
1t is bad, but not so bad as most news
paper readers probably expected. Lynch
ings stick so in peoples minds that their
number is exaggerated. One might sup
pose. from frequent references to the
matter in European papers, that lynch
ing Negroes was the ~favOrite outdoor
sport in this country. The number is
really very small, compared with the to-
tai population and compared with the
number of crimes committed by individ-
uals who deserve death for their offcnses.
Nevertheless the nation may well refrain
from taking much satisfaction in it un-
til the number is still smaller.
The cheering thing is the fact that the
number is actually decreasing. And
still more pleasing is the immediate rea-
son for this decrease, which is the grow
ing spirit of law-enforcement on the part
of public officials. The Tuskeegee 1nsti-
tute reports that in sc cases last year
Iynchings were prevented by the II
ageous stand taken by sheriffs and other
officers of the law, when mobs had
formed to take matters into their own
hands. Fourteen times armed force was
used to dispense bloodthirsty mObs.
If this record seems more creditable
to the authorities than to the public,
let it be remembered that it was the gen
eral public sentiment that stiffened the
spines of officials when the test came.
Along with this. there has been some
improvement in the prompt execution of
Justice by the courts, but much remains
to be lone along that line.

a housewife in preparing dhrce meals a
day for an average family walks two
miles. The figures We're obtained by
using a pedometer on students in the
model home at one of the vocational
schools. They are therefore moderate.
If a student walks two miles a day along
the familiar route of stove. sink, pantry
and table in model home" with every
thing arranged for the utmost conven-
fence, il seems likely that the average
housewife, without such efficient ar
rangement of her house and working
utensils, must walk three or four miles.
Next thing somebody ought to attach
n pedOmCter to mother while she is maxi
ing the beds and cleaning the house. and
doing the washing and ironing-with or
without modern machinery. Also on oc-
c~asions when she is doing her fall can
ming or feeding a threshing crew or TAX
ing care of a crOwd of Sunday visitors
or celebrating the Christmas holidays.
If there were one of those pedomcterS
in every home. it might be granted soon
that housekeeping is n job. And along
with the pedOmeter there ought to be
some kind of machine to register the
energy expended by mother merely in
keeping N her feet. quite aside from her
locomotiOn, for several hours a day. This
is an Illuminating and constructive line
of inquiry, in an industrial field that
will stand a good deal of exploring.

Waste Paper Saves Coal.
(Barre Times.)

The editor of the Groton Times is
finding one way to meet the high cost
of living by using the great quantity
of publicity matter coming to his desk
as fuel. He run a weekly newspaper.
If all the material of such nature that
comes to the Office of a daily newspa.
per could be gathered together at the
end of a week and pressed into com
pact form it would heat a large apart
ment house for a considerable period.
Which leads to the belief that if the
people who are paying for the prepare
tion and distribution of this publicity
matter could see where the material
goes (the GrotOn editors way is per
haps the most common) they would inn
mediately decide that the efforts are
worse than useless. and that their space
grating is in vain. Moreover, a huge
quantity of paper is sacrificed to no
good except to heat the editors office
or to perform some other humanitarian
purpose for the consignec. Someone
should inform those who are paying the
bills for this publicity matter. This we
say fully understanding that IN editor
fuel pile will lie shortened accordingly.

LEANEN.

Industrial disputes undoubtedly are
rife. but industrial adjustments of
proved soundness are proceeding surely
though unconsciously. One such move
ment has been under way for four years.
1t is The Industrial Association of Cleye-
land. an association of employers and
employees. its object the establishment of
better mutual understanding, and its
method of operation social and cduca-
tional. The society has grown to n
membership of 4,150. including 3,7OO
employees from various industries and
450 employers.
Such associations. where employers
and employees actually do work with a
regard for one another's interest, finding
it incidentally the best way to promote
their own, are the bits of leaven which
will presently leaven the whole lump of
industrial unrest in spite of the radi-
Gals and pessimists who hope and say il
cannot be done. 1t is too bad that these
modest successes are so often overshad-
owed by failures less deeply significant.

The Open Door"
(St. Albums Messcnger.)

Montpelier dispatches say that Gov
crnOr Hardness has adopted the open
door, policy and that people can actu-
ally see him at his work in the executive
chamber. The practice will continue so
long as it is not abused, the correspond
ents inform their papers.
Any one who knows Governor Hart
ness at all knows that he would make
himself accessible to all who desired to
see him. He is a man who wants to
keep in touch. But whether he or any
other governor can carry on the public
business in full SIGHT of the public ut all
times is to be questioned. There will
be times when the big door of the exc
cutive chamber will swing to and re
main shut for longer or shorter periods.
if The Messenger is any judge. And
when this time comes it will not mean
that the governor is denying himself to
the public but that he is seeking the pri-
vacy necessary to all executives at some
time or another.

SINIPLIFIED CIVICS.

Civics lessons for the first six grades
Of school may sound a bit advanced to
persons who associate the study of civics
with the theory of government and the
machinery for conducting it. Explained
simply as instruction which will relate
the child's daily experiences to the COM
munity as a whole. and which will en-
able him to recognize himself as a citizen
and a part of that whole, civics in the
lower grades has a rather sensible ring.
The United States Bureau of Educa-
ton has issued a pamphlet on this sub
ject which furnishes suggestions for
teachers and school authorities for slim
ulating in the pupils the right attitudes
and habitual acts of good citizenship.
Each lesson is based on some civic sit
u%atiou'' in which any normal child may
find himself any day.
Such items as the daily walk to and
from school, with an eye out for clean
streets, traffic regulations, etc, entering
the school building by assigned doors,
Railways and s~tairways, according to
prescribed rules for purpose of order,
discipline and safety in case of fire OF
other accident using coat closets, drink.
ing fountains, etc, playing in the school
yard with playfellows of all sizes and
ages; participationsin school government
and many other affairs which are com.
monplace to every child, may be used by
the skillful teacher to inculcate an un.

in obeying laws and developing civic
pride.
Most youngsters love this sort of thing
if it is lone in the right way. They will
come to school thrilled with new ideas of
their W for carrying on as good citi-
zens, and they will carry much of their
civic knowledge home to parents. Need
less to add, all this practical and happy
work lone as a kind of daily play in the
earlier years will help to make the study
of theoretical government and admins
tration simpler and more effective to the
older pupil of high school and college
rank.
