Those who use the roads much
know the difficulty of reading the
danger signals until you are close
to them because they vary so very
much in color and form. The
bureau of public roads, United
States department of agriculture,
is out for standardized danger
signals for all the roads. These
standard signals should be distinct
i've in type and easily read and
also and furthermore no advertis-
ing signs should be permitted to
have any similarity to them. In
our travels we have seen the fa-
miliar crossed boards, which denote
a railroad crossing, prove to be
nothing but hotel or garage adj
vertising sign. The one sign which
the motorist seldom ignores is the
Hood danger sign for it is we'll
known that it is never put up ex-
cept where a real danger exists.
Emma Goldman says she won't
go back to Russia even when she
declares that 81 am not returning
to the United States as a prodigal
daughter throwing herself upon its
mercy" No we don't believe she
is returning here as a prodigal
daughter or even as a daughter-in-
law or any other kind of a daugh-
ter. We haven't the kind of a
government she believes in for she
says While in some cases l have
disagreed with the. soviet govern
ment, my stay in Russia has only
served to convince me that have
always been right, and that anar-
chy is the only sound system"
She shouldn't let slight disagree
ments keep her from doing her
most to aid the kind of government
she believes in and we don't want
her.
1t looks as if the quarrel of cen.
turies between Ireland and Eng
land is settled and settled right as
far as those outside can see. Ire
land, excepting Ulster, becomes
autonomous as Canada, Australia,
and South Africa are; bound to the
mother country only in matters
relating to empire, free as far as
domestic affairs are concerned. Of
course De Valera does not like it
and some few of the leaders in
Guiding all the Obstetrics. but it
seems just way to settle quar-
rel for independence. Protestant
Ulster prefers English dominion
but in this particular, the county
seems to be in the minority and
ultimately, Ulster will. probably
join the other Irish counties at
the Dublin parliament.
China is making considerable
many demands. But it is we'll to
understand that it is a great en-
pire and that it has been plumber
ed for years without having had
much of a voice in the matter.
They have great wrongs to be re-
dressed. But China wants also to
remember that all the powers had
pretty good bills against her for
the damages of the Boxer rebellion,
which were forgiven China. The
Boxer rebellion also inaugurated
the Hay open Door IN policy |
which may be said to be the fore
runner of her present advantage.
1t would seem that common
sense would have prevented the
meat strike. With so many men
out of employment, it seems the
height of folly for those fortu-
nate enough to have work to
throw open forty thousand places
by strike. But then strikes and |
sense seldom go together. The |
public had little patience with the !
New York milk strike and the meat
strike meets with as little commen-
dalton. These are not the times
to be striking for more pay in al
ready well paid occupations.
While without doubt there was
abuse Of little brief authority in
the war army and even serious mis-
carriage of justice, it is probable
that half the stories, if sifted be-
fore any legal tribunal, would prove
to be hearsay stories. The inves-
tigation induced by Senator Wat
sons statement that American
doughboys were hanged without
benefit of courtmartial in France
is bringing to light a fair crop of |
these hearsay stories.
