PROGRESSIVE RESUSCITATION

We had begun to fear that people in the Unit
ed States were casting their ballots in careless
manner, unwittingy doing an injustice to them
selves and to the nation at large not because they
obdurately opposed Democratic candidates every
where in 1920, but because of the mediocre and
reactionary persons to whom they accorded such
unquestionable support
1t has been too clearly and forcibly made plain
that predatory wealth now holds winning hand
but in the light of recent revelations we may re-
aze that it is only through force of circumstance
that this is true.
The defeat of Senator Harry New, close per-
sonal friend of President Harding, in the Indiana
primaries, by Albert Beverage, ex-senator and a
Progressive Republican in 1872 sounds an inspir-
ing keynote of reform within Republican ranks.
The probable victory of Clifford Pinchot in the gu
bernatorial contest in Pennsylvania who alsowas a
staunch Progressive of 1912, gives further evil
dence of Republican insurgency. We in Wiscon-
sin regret that Senator Lenroot does not come up
for reelection this year. Whatever the future
Significance of this apparent Progressive Repub-
lican revival, it is unrelished and severe rep
rimand of the passive, Intellectual policy of the
administration at Washington.

the list include the paving from St
Cloud north beyond Little Falls at

built this season.
The Northfield- Westcott paving
contract at 100000 was part of the
winter work program to speed the
highway program and relieve unem-
ployment. These and other items
show how the department put 1922
work under contract early and at
low prices while the 1921 projects

during the last seven months. Funds
for 1922, however, must be spread
over twelve months, although rev.
enues are decreased and interest

The effect is shown in numerous
ways and particularly in the mainte-
nance fund. Maintenance forces began

the amount at 40 per cent of the an

announced following conferences to
work out every possible economy

highway officials asserted, and the
state will get the biggest gain to be
had On the low costs but not the
measure which would be hoped for.

p. T. A. NOTES

The program for last Friday was
followed as announced except the
special music, which we regretted
very much to miss.
The following are some of the
points brought out in the paper
read by Mrs. Rindal on ''The Duty of
Parents in training Children for
Citizenship
Citizenship in the American Re
public carries with it grave respon-
sibilities. In order to enable the
child at maturity to discharge them
alright, the home must combine with
he school, the one sustaining and
'upplementiing the work Of the 9th
er. 1t was pointed out that the great
mistake of our system of education
is the attempt to make the school
10 the work of the home.
The entire realm Of childhood IS
oervaded by the home and parental
influence, which no power on earth
an annihilate. The American home
must make the American citizen. 1t
is therefore important that parents
,ave correct idea of true American
citizenship.
One of the grave dangers which
threatens the Republic is the light
esteem in which the election fran
chise is held by many Of our people,
Parents should instruct their chill
dren that to vote is a sacred duty,
the right discharge of which requires
knowledge, discretion and political
Integrity on the part of tie voter.
The sacredness of the ballot cannot
be implanted too deeply in the mind
of the child. The sacred duty Of ev-
cry elector to vote, the right Of
every person to protection against
fraud and intimidation, the hideous
wickedness of a person who would
despoil his neighbor of his ballot,
ought to be brought forcefully to
the attention of every elector be-
fore he leaves his fathers house to
assume the duties Of citizenship.
In our home there should be no
sympathy with evil deeds. Those
low, cunning tricks, in trade or poll
tics, through which unearned money
is made, or undeserved political hon
ors' are gained, must meet with no
praise, but with just and severe
condemnation.
The son of the ward politician,
admiring his fathers shrewdness in
manipulating men, learns to look
upon politics as a trade and deter
mines to be in his day, successor to
his fathers business!
The best way to train a child for
public life is to fit him to do business
honestly, promptly and with due re-
gard to the. right, of all with whom
he has business relations.
Supt. Clinch gave an interesting
discussion Of the paper and related
school problems: Several others
made few remarks regarding the
topics mentioned. The usual social
hour followed.
