THOUGHT

Think thought the world be reluctant
To fathom the deep of your thought,
For everything beauteous, reverent
To appreciation is brought
By the star-reaching characterization,
The depth-braving plummet-I'll learn
God fashioned for investigation,
And gave man the jewell yearn
Think, though the hall of dersion
May pelt you and bruse with its scorn.
Thoughts soul is as free in prison
AS on peaks that kissed by the morn,
And remember, dear brother, that thinking,
Though it's born in cell of despair,
Has comradeship ever and linking
With the spirit and uplift of prayer.
There trails that the feet of the masses
Have followed until they are worn.
Strike from them to untrodden passes
And canyons rock-lifted and torn.
Be pathfinder in that dominion
Whose boundaries only are mind
And men-tis my humble opinion
The door of your cottage will find
4ankton, S. ID. Will Chamberlain.

1t is a lamentable fact that what
the authorities call the "criminality"
of the young begins at the period we
are discussing. "Criminality" is too
strong word. A profession has
grown up in this country whose sole
business is to fasten "criminality"
on everybody. 1t is a profession of
exceedingly dangerous tendencies. II
IS always dangerous to make pro-
tesslon dependent on the cataloging
of defects; it usually winds up with
mass of imaginary defects charged
up TO men. Most of the criminal
lty' of boys could be more accurate
~ termed "miscEief,' and appended
thereto should be the note-"caused
by neglect
Satan always finds some work
for idle hands to do'-that is the
explanation. Modern educators
would doubtless object to the form
of the statement, and in doing SO
would throw the whole truth over
board But the truth is there. And
if the world is fortunate, it will
learn how TO act upon this truth be-
fore long
We may have TO revise the notion
that boys must go TO school and &c
nothing else during the first con-
scious Is or 20 years OF their lives
he better way would be to have ed
ucation free for the individual when
he wants it. Many boys don't want
it at Is, but keenly desire it at 80
| We talk about education making a
boy appreciate life; well, it works
the other way too-life makes many
a boy appreciate education. 1t may
be that those Yeas when the par
entail and civil authorities are OBJ
sorbed in holding the boy at school
and while he is just as greatly a5-
| sorbed in trying 10 get away, are
the very years when it liiI be found
better to let the boy follow his bent
OF judgment, even though 1t may be
mistaken, relying on the fact that
there is more educational value in
boys discovery of his own faults
of judgment than there ever can be
in his constant doubt of his elders
judgment.
We may have to get entirely away
from the notion that education con-
sists only in book-work. We may
even have to get away from the
modern manual training idea which

it. We may have to make a place
for our boys in the industrial world
not an amateur place, not a man
ual-play place. not a charitable place,
but such place as they are entitled
to in their character as our heirs
and successors. Instead of work be-
ing the badge of boys poverty or
his lack of opportunity, it ought to
be made one Of the marks of his
freedom and one Of the instruments
of his development.
Not only is education at a wrong
angle, but so is industry. AS boys,
we don't like the school; as men, we
sometimes don't like the shop. The
school seems to cut US off from life
as it is; and then the shop seems to
cut US off from life as the school
taught US to regard it. Necessity
in both instances does what spon
taneous desire ought to do. In both
instances we have somehow lost con-
nection with life as it is lived. To
remedy this, to make work educa-
tional, and education workable, and
to keep both an integral part of a
unified life, is challenge to every
lover of right conditions for man
kind.

tain food to sustain life, to secure
clothing to cover their starving
bodies? Has he been reading re-
ports of unbiased Investigators, who
inform the people that where form
erly the millionaires were counted
by the hundreds, they can now be
counted by the thousands, and that
where poverty and distress was but
incidental before the war, its APP
pearance is conceded now to be
quite general?
Has the famous Englishman,
Wells, been looking for the books
which contain the reports of the In
dustrial Relations Commission, the
Commission which devoted months
and months to an investigation, of
which the public knows so little and
of which it should know all?
Has H. G.. Wells been reading the
newspapers which printed reports OF
the ruthless war carried on in the
State of West Virginia; the efforts
of the Governor of Kansas to impose
slavery through a device called an
Industrial Court?
Probably H. G. Wells has been in
vestigating the transportation situa-
ton in America; he may have read
the findings of the Court establish
ed under the provisions of the Trans
portation Act of 1920.
Possibly he has been studying the
fuel problem, keeping close watch on
the coal miners and their activities.
Mayhap he has read the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the TrauX- Corrigan case,
discovering that there is a law for
the wealthy and one for the poorer
citizens of the community.
1t is just possible that Mr.. II. g.
Wells read the newspaper and maya
CINE articles which recited that a
most wonderful discovery has been
made by chemists-the discovery OF
poison gas, that ga small vial of it
turned loose in the Congress of the
u. S. would destroy every mortal
in both upper and lower houses
gas so destructive Chat bomb filled
with this terrible destructive agent,
dropped on the city of New York,
would destroy every human being. III
that most populous city of America,
within a few moments after the
bomb had exploded?"
What was Mr.. H. G. Wells pur-
pose in making the quoted state
ment? Did he make a prophecy, or
tender warning to the House OF
Dollars?

ing the highest vote shall have their
names printed on the ballot "unop-
posed equal to the number of posi-
tlons to be filled.
Deemed to have received a major
ity Of the votes cast, is right, for it
IS very probable that they will not
receive a majority Of the judicial bal
'ots cast. Note that under this law
there may be more candidates receiv-
ing a majority Of the votes cast
Lhan there are positions to be filled.
Inc last legislature again tinkered
with the Judicial primary law, and
passed a law that in the case of the
Superior Court judges the positions
-hall be numbered, and the candidate
must file for a certain position. He
might defeat all other candidates. but
cannot be elected unless he defeats
the particular judge against whom
he filed.
The whole system is a plain evasion
Of the constitutional requirement
that Judges shall be elected at gen
eral elections. In order to make a
show Of compliance with this require
ment the law provides that there shall
be placed on the ballot a number OF
blank lines equal to the number OF
'unopposed" candidates, upon which
the voter may write his choice.
This is called an election, although
certain candidates are "unopposed.'
Why should judges have a special
primary system? Why shall they not
contest at the election the same as
other candidates are required to do &?
Remember that judges are usually
elected IN the primary. Don't lose
your vote for judges.

WARNING OR
PROPHESY?

What did the famous writer, H.
G. Wells. have in mind several
months ago when he was on his way
to the Armament Conference at
Washington, when he said:
when one looks at New York,
its assurance is amazing, when we
peril. With the possible exception
of London, the position of New York
seems to me the most perilous of
that of any city in the world.
in little while, within my life
time, New York City may stand
even more gaunt, ruinous, empty,
and haunted than that stricken and
terrible ruin, Petersburg (Petro-
grad.
"The ship of civilization is not
going to sink in five years time
or in fifty years time-IT is SINK
ING NOW!'
What did H. G. Wells, the world
famous Englishman, see which
prompted him to express himself
in the manner quoted?
Mr.. H. G. Wells visited st. Peters
burg in the days of Gear Nicholas
he enjoyed opportunities of studying
Russia at first hand under the old
order and can refer to his writings
to refresh his memory, if that were
needed.
Mr.. H. G. Wells visited st. Peters
burg, known as Petrograd to many
who have perused newspaper and
magazine articles about Russia, since
the overthrow of the Gar, since
Trotzky and Lenine assumed control
of that section of the world.
What did he see in and about New
York, in and about America, which
suggested the terrible picture off.
