WHAT A LOT OUR FATHERS MISSED!

1t is a source OF constant wonderment to the
present favored generation how our forefathers
managed to get along without the thoughtful all
-hey seemed to indulge a false pride in what they
pleased to look upon as self-reliance. Their
outlook on social welfare did not extend much be-
yond their line fence, although 1t Is true that
If a neighbours horse fell into pit they helped him
to 1t. If neighbor fell Ill, they sat up
with him. If hard times threatened, our fore
fathers tackled them within their own households
and applied the remedy of work and sef-sacrifice.
Most of them were great Bible readers and instead
of appealing to human "authorities' to help therl
in time of need, they applied to The Book. One
text that seemed to impress them ran, "whatsoevet
thy hand fndeth to do do 1t with thy might"
They were an independent sort OF people, as proved
by certain famous Declaration. But they missed
the benefcenee Of bureaucracy. to which they could
turn in time Of need.
How different 1t is with their children of today
who can always find government department,
bureau a board. a commission, a council COM
mittee or whatnot to which they consign all
their troubles for solution We freshly remind"
cd of present-day progress in this respect by dis
patch published recently from Hartford, Conn. In
it we find the Nutmeg state will take official cog
nizance of the act of bobbing womens hair. The
attorney general has just given the Connecticut bar
ber's commission oral opinion that that opera
ton may hereafter be done only by licensed bar
bers In times Of financial stress and social dis
tress we are prone revert to 'the good old days..
but how much our forefathers and mothers missed
by not living in this year Of our Lord!

MIR. WAGNER AND THE STATE BOARD.

The state board of education has agreed to hear
cember 2. The Journal wonders just why they
agreed TO hear him. He is not empoye Of the
board. 1t is poweress to discharge reprmand
him. 1t has not accused him of anything. We fail
to understand the situation
Rumors Of extravaganza and laxness worse,
during Wagner's incumbency Of the office of state
superintendent reached the of the board. They
could do nothing They accordingly asked the prop
auditing authority of the state to audit his
counts. This was done
1t occurs to that the only of the
board in the premises is to to 1t that any bad
practices complained of in the auditors report, are
not allowed to continue. There its duty ends
the Journal discern. Perhaps it is the boards
duty to call the attention of Attorney General Bow
to the report. Santa Fe Is large city ana
the state capitol is big building. Attorney General
Bowman may never have heard Of the report.
If there is nothing criminal charged in the audit
there seems to be nothing for any one to do. We
are disposed to think that such is the case. IL
there is anything in the report which creates prima
face against Mr.. Wagner the attorney general
is the proper official to whom explanations and de-
lenses should be made.
If Mr.. Wagner wishes merely to be set right
with the people, the Journal offers its columns to
him for the purpose of giving publicity to his de-
