PLACING THE BLAa1E.

When the railroads cannot accom- plish all that is expected or desired of them it is the habit to lay the blaine immediately upon them, without stop ping to think whether they ought to shoulder 1t ali or not It is not to be assumed that the railroads are fauls
 less or never should be blamed. They are. undoubtedly responsible for eneHga, but that doesn't justify the putting on- to them what is caused by others.
 There comes from Kansas the state ment by the head of the public utilities commission that there are 400 grain elevators in the state idle because the railroads cannot take away the grain This is the season of the year for the handling of grain, the moving of crops and the like so that the railroads ougfs to be expected to be prepared for such a situation. It is an annual affair and it Is also known that they have put is large orders not only for cars, but for locomotives That would indicate that they had anticipated the demand upon them and had planned to meet it.
 What doesn't seem to be remembered is that the railroads are suffering yet from the railroad and the coal strikes In the one instance the handicap affect ed the rolling stock but in the other it is indirect. Wdth coal production great ly reduced during the summer the rail- roads were looked to as soon as the strike was over to give its attention to the movement of coal that as great a quantity as was available or could be mined was placed at advantageous points for the consumer. That was re. quired of them over and above their normal business. Even though the sit nation was created by the coal miners the railroads were expected to over- come it. They haven't done so but they have done much, and in doing what they have done 1t has made 1t mora difficult to handle all the business they have been offered. Piling up business that should have been handled over a period of several months and expectinE it to be done in third of the time fs an abnormal demand and If the rail. roads cannot meet it, after all they have been through, fair judgment will not declare them to be wholly to blame

CHILD TRAINING
Imagination and Untruth
By Mary D. Underwood

One day last winter my six-year-old boy ran to me and said, Come out and see a birds nest with four blue eggs in it"
 In surprise I took his hand and walk ed beside him through the garden to a leafless wintry rosebush r which hd pointed triumphantly. But where is the nesr?" I asked.
 Right there," he insisted indicating a bleak branch with not so much as . straw on it
 But there is no nest" insisted.
 Then he withdrew his hand and look ed up into my face with utmost scorn. Cant you make-believe anything?" he said.
 What was my response? What should have been my response do you think ? We'll, I believe the words that rushed to my lips were the right and true words. said, Why, darling, I beg your par don for being so stupid! Of course can make-beleye and I'll never be so dull again"
 The next week, however, there occur red in my household a very different kind of falsehood. A little girl of whom 1 had temporary charge had found a purse with good deal of money in it We had talked about this among our neigh DOTS dIlu III lLG ullll she felt very proud of herself. One day she came to me with dollar bill in her hand.

 can not tell just why I did not be- | lieve her, but after accepting the dol i lar bill of which she made me a pres ent I went to my purse. It had been i taken out of that. I called her in from her play and very quietly told her i felt sure she had taken the dollar bill from me and asked her why she had done so. - l She denied it-she even protested pi- ously that she could not be so base al to steal from one to whom she owed So much kindness did not argue Of raise my voice; simply kept saying Why did you take it?"

A CHANGE THAT IS NrEDEn.

The struggle of those desiring to en- ter this country to get here in time to be included in the monthly quota and not sent back to the land from whence they came continues. It is a race be- tween steanships to get here first after the first of the month, and with more from Italy anxious to get in than the stipulated percentage will permit 1t is not surprising that certain number must so back.
 The administration of the restrictive immigration Law in this country has made that clear. Those who have gone back realize that the law means some thing while hose who have had any thing to do with bringing immigrants are likewise eogniEant Of the fact that those who get in must get here first.

Who Are the Slkhs?

Trouble over Sikh Shrines, cable dis patches continue to inform us, Is the greatest immediate danger to the peace 6f India.
 Docs Sikh mean a religion or a na- tionality?" is apt to be the first ques- tion asked In a discussion of the sd5- ject.
 While si5hisn primarily is a relig- ion 1t has placed it's mark strongly on its adherents who inhabit northwest In dia,' says a bulletin from the Wash ington, D. C., headquarters of the Ma tional Geographic Society.
 "Even today, when the Sikh common wealth no longer exists their religion sets Sil5hs apart practically as a dis tinct people from the followers Of the Hindu and Mohammedan religions who surround them.
 ''Silzhis1n originated in the important plains country of the Puhjab in north western India, not far from the great Indus liver and the mountains which form the boundary between India and Afghanistan; and this has remained the, region of it's greatest strength. It arose toward the close of the 18th cen tury. The immediate cause for the birth of Sikhis1n seems to have been the need for protest against the idola- try, caste system, and cruel practices of Hinduism, the fanaticism of Moham- mechanism, and the subjetion of women practiced by both those dominant relig- ions.
 "Nanek, the 'Guru' or Teacher, who founded Sikhism struck out boldly against abuses in the religions aboCt him. He taught there is one God, names. Simplicity was emphasized Unlike Hindus. Sikis could eat meat though beef was excepted.
 "A phase of Sikhism far-reaching n it's results, was it's irSfStence on the ob- servance of rules of health. In addition to eating what most westerners regard as a more strengthening diet than -, vegetarian fare of the Hindu, Sikiis were to ban alcoholic beverages and to- bacco, were to bathe daily in cold wa. ter, and were not to make pilgrimAges making pilgfimages is considered aI ! important factor in the spreading ol disease in India.

ARsENrEE rhr1Nn

In order that those who are away from home on election day may not be denied their right of suffrage there ex- ists in some states an absentee votef law by which it is possible to cast a ballot under provisions varying in thA different states and have it counted.
 Missouri Is one of the states where there is such a law, but there the red tape is such that much protest Is heard and demands made for amendments that will overcome the untavorabie fea- lures,
 By the law in that state a voter goes to the voting precinct in which he hap pens to be on election day and prepares his ballet. It $ evident that he is not known there, and 1t Is not possible to ascertain whether he has a right sto vote anywhere. Nevertheless the ballot Is received and forwarded from rR-. precinct to the county clerk in whaC that precinct is located and by that clerk to the county clerk in the county where he has right to vote. There, provided it is delivered within the fixed number of days and it is established that he is entitled to vote by checs .,A AAS AsAAMS On the IISIs the vote Is count ed.
 The system seems to work well enough except that the votes are not al ways gstten to their proper destination within the number of days allotted When they do not, the time, effort and vote are wasted, and it is found that even when the required special atten. ton Is given to such ballots it is i'm possible to move them fast enough to have them included in the count, the hnal review of which is held open tor Several days.
 For the purpose of overcoming this situation the proposition has been ad- vanced that the voter be permitted tc go before notary public when prepar. Ing such an absentee ballot, swear tc 1t and forward 1t to the proper election official where he resides. That wo1lt serve to speed it up and permit of hn being counted which Is of course the desire of the law. It is apparently one of those defects which come to ikhi when a practical test is made of wfat Is considered an ideal law. But ever with the defect in the Missouri law much is to be said in beha1 of absen. tee voting.

THE FEDERAL BUDGET,

In the federal budget for the next fiscal year, which will be the guide of congress in dealinA with the appropria- tion bills coming before it at the pres ent session, there is a decrease in ex- penditures called for to the extent of about a haR Billion dollars. The budget has been prepared with the idea of cut ting expenses and If possible avoiding a deficit at the end of the year. If ad- hered to, when it comes to appropriat- ing federal funds, there will be an ae- preciable furtherance of that much de- sired cutting of government eNpend!- lures and a corresponding lessening of taxation demands by the government.
 President Harding in submitting the budget places stress upon the responsi- biIity of congress. Efforts have been made to do away with needless expen- ditures and to get away from extrava- garft outlays There has been a cutting to the bone in response to the demand for lessened expenditures and at the present time two-thirds of the total es- tfmated expenses for the year 1924 amounting to more than three billion dollars, are on account of such fixed charges as the public dsbt, national de. fense, pensions. World war allowances and federal aid.
 We'll does the president get down tc brass tael1s- and tell congress In sc many words that 1t rests with it wheth' CT there is further curtaiInent or a: increase in federal expenditures. | congress is going to broaden the helt Of national expenditure and continue tc pour funds into federal aid projects f must be expected that retrenchmen wdIl be impossible. They cannot expec to spend government funds and no provide the money for 1t. With the ad n1inistratien setting before congress an other excellent example of what can b. reasonably done in the way of retreneh ment it is time for that august body t: get down to business and stop vast wherever possible. There is no bette way of getting back to normalcy.

EDUCATION WEEK.

The drive for better education that is being conducted throughout the country this week Is one in which each and ev. cry individual cannot fail to be Inter. ested. It is of vital concern not only to the locality in which the grammar school is located but to the whole coun- try.
 The importance of education should not be disregarded. There can be no justlhcation for it's negligence. Those who undertake to obstruct it are work ing against the welfare of the ihdivid- ual and the nation. Each and everyone should have the opportunity to which they are entitled, and that will be in- sGred not only by the provision ot schools but by keeping constantly to the front the importance of bettering them whenever the chance to do SC arises.
 We have done much in the way of education in this country, but we have not done enough. We cannot afford to permit 1t to go backward or even stand still. Just so much as we have benefit. ed hy what has been done. by the same degree shall we gain from continued eff. forts In the same direction.
 American Education week is for the purpose Of presenting the school needs and the constructive methods by whiet they should be met. The importance oi more successfully combating iliiter1oy the great need of Anericanization worl and the inequality of educational oppor. tHnities are some of the things which .A Is well to get the American minds tt working on.
 In his proclamation setting aside De, cefnber S-s as Education week, Presi dent Harding we'll says: '"The strengti and security of the nation will aIway: rest in the intelligent body Of its peS. pie. Our education should lmplant con captions of public duty and private cb lisatfoh broad enough to envisage tn, problems Of a greatly disaraught world More than anything else men and wo. men need the capacity to see with q clear eye and to contemplate with al open, unprejudiced mind, the issues o these times. Only through a properly nrottvated and generously inspired pro. cess of education can this be accom-. phshed."

ANNUAL gu TING
YOUNG MEMS CLUB
Tour Embraced Delightful Sixty
Mile Trip Up Picturesque Sa-
tilla River as far as Mays
Bluff.

The annual outing of the Young
Mems Club yesterday was most ell.
ioyable occasion and when the steam.
er Atlantic pulled up to the Clyde
docks last night it was generally
agreed that the trip up the Satilla
was altogether one of the most de-
lightful that the members of the or
ganization had ever taken.
The Atlantic left Brunswick yester-
day morning at 9 O'Clock with about
forty members aboard. Popular Bill
Berrie was the purveyor of the occa-
sion and as result the leafs" were
all that whetted appetites could wish
for. He played his part well and it
was suggested that he be appointed
to this important post for an indefi-
mite period.
The handsome craft, with Capt. Ben
White at the wheel, steamed across
the sound under clear skies and was
soon vending her way up the Satilla,
famed in song and story as one of
Georgia's most picturesque and his
toric streams. The trip extended
about sixty miles up the river, to
Mays Bluff, the entire day being
spent aboard the Atlantic. The re-
turn trip was equally enjoyable and
altogether the outing was a pronounce
ed success from every angle.
