Where the Waste Was

few days ago we rather endorsed the irrita- ton General Charles G. Dawes at the nagging and finding the conduct of the war in France, the criticisms by those who thought that in France the purpose of saving money our sur time there to be spent in fighting the Germans No doubt the American forces France did the best they could; there was wanton waste of money. The waete this side was demonstrated in investigations of aerial service and in the facture attempted manufacture of aeropane mo tors and in a thousand other directions. We had already heard the blind purchases of equipment that had been made by people who either did know what or how much required who had yielded to the importunties of those who had equip ment to sell
 Some further light is thrown upon this phase of the in cooouy in congress the other day as reported by veracious contemporary. the Con- gressonal Record:

Prohibition Enlargement

One O the difficulties the enforcement of the federal prohibition lies in the character of the enforcement officers who employed to detect individual isolated violations of the law They 'booze hounds partly because of the char assigned them and partly because so many them consume the contraband goods they almost every city and county In the land come stories of these enforcement officers of the lower grades becoming involved in scandals-relating either to black mailing or spiracy with bootleggers
 is easy to secure the right kind of men for this sort of work The duties in part, those of an nformera role from which the average man turns with disgust Nor are the scandals confined to the grade enforcement officers. Some of the high CT ups have identified with powerful rings for the distribution of liquor.
 The situation, however, is not discouragng- The people have not yet adjusted themselves to the legislation They the abolition of the saloon but they have yet to look upon the activity of the bootlegger heinous crime though natural ly they detest the criminal.
 Gradually they will come to the support of this law as they all other laws and then the work enforcement officers will be easier This will take it will about. The law itself will stand for all time.

Highway L.eaisIation

If not in quite its original form, vet carrying the full appropriation originally proposed omnibus good roads bill received the preliminary of the senate yesterday. Two weeks ago it seemed possible that the plea of economy would cutting the bill down to half it's original proportions and adversely affect good roads during next two years.
 The change of front of some of the members was accustomed by from home against penurous- ness under the guise of economy. And no doubt one of the resolutions adopted by state good roads association last was without it's effect in favor of more liberal appropriation. It should be said however that neither by that nor by any other resolution the association bound to the principle Of the omnibus bin which 1t was careful to dorse' though it demanded much money for good roads as had been asked for in Senate Bill 51.

Is Such a Law Necessary?

A reader of The Republican writes us with re- spect to House bill 100 defining criminal libel de- fanaton of the people any religious denomination or sect. this case including reflections the patriotism of the members the religious denomination The writer asks 'Ts it not true that the religious denomination which cannot stand even libel is poor that the militant church is the only that thrives?'
 We very much whether this proposed law could any good purpose. We see though how the criminal law might invoked perhaps not often successfully, in the defense of a religious de- nomination thus bringing church and state more closely together than the fathers their wisdom tended them to be.
 There have been and yet scurrilous publica- tions directed against great church. At least one these papers has laid itself liable violations the postal regulations. But in has any worthy denomination been injured by this publica- tion. It could be injured from such source No member of would claim that it had been so jured. Such definition of-libel is proposed, doubt with the best intentions would dignify and exalt though it might also punish such scurrious publications.
 It is seldom that the patriotism of a religious sect organization has been attacked During the world war reflections the patriotism of so-caied conscientious objectors' honorable enough expression 1t originally applied to Quakers, one of whose tenets has always oppo- sition to war and violence. This doctrine of the ouaIxers had always been respected by the govern ment in time of war. But the world developed A. new and suspicious brood of conscientious ob- jectors." Religious organizations sprang up like mushrooms with the outstanding doctrine. opposition 10 war Their membership increased nightly. Such a libel law as Is proposed would have laid most of the newspapers of the country open to prosecution because of their heated criticism of these "con- scentious objectors" as members of organizations which 1t was charged had been formed as asylums for those who wished to escape the draft.
 The present libel laws of all the states suf- ficiently protect the individual against defamatory nublicatons And if individuals protected the individuals in the mass their various relations and organizations are already amply protected

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-The United States of America is one of the hardest places in the civilized world in which to get a good educa ton, in the opinion of a committee of the house which has been investigating the question.
 A fourth of the men of fighting age in the United States are illiterates many children pever set adequate schooling, most of the teachers are in competent. There are millions of i'm migrants in the country who can nei- ther speak nor read English and many negro children never see the inside of q schoolroom. Thousands of schools are closed because no teachers can be ob- tained for the miserable salaries of fered.
 This disturbing picture of education in America is contained in the report of the house committee on education on the Towner bill, and abundant proof of it's truth is contained in the hearings which were held in connection with the bill.
 This report is surely one of the most startling indictments of our civilization which have ever sisued from Capitol
