Discussion of Public Questions.

Wisconsin has formed organization
known as the Commonwealth union for the
purpose of raising the standard of intelligence
among the people of the state This is to be
accomplished by means Of public discussions
led by we'll informed speakers and dealing with
timely and important public questions The
organization prepares lists of men and women
available for speaking payment of expenses
only. In doing this it is not conducting any
sort of propaganda. 1t does not urge the Sc
lection of any particular speaker nor the choice
of any particular subject. 1t asks the public to
communicate directly with any speaker 1t
wishes to engage The unions work is mainly
to discover the speakers and enlist their inter-
est in the cause, then to make them known to
the public The organization announces as its
objects the fostering of discussion in every
community of the state, rural, industrial and
otherwise in which representative organiZa
tons of citizens do not exist; to urge provision
for hall suitable for public iT all public
buildings in all communities which lack these
facilities now, and as fast as new public build
ings are planned.
This sounds like excellent undertaking.
There many questions of civic and national
government and welfare which need the sane,
intelligent judgment of the public in their
luton Impartial, Informative discussion of
these matters would be a real benefit TO citi-
zens and public officials alike. The women, in
terested now in politics, demand information
on all the issues of the day. Anybody having
liking for public office may at any time be
hailed before the women to explain his position.
And what chance will he have if, when he rises
to his feet, his mind becomes complete blank?
Most of us are not able 10 think well
feet. We can sit down and carry on CONVEX
sation through, but when it comes to looking
an audience in the eye we lose our train of
thought
And it is all matter of becoming accus-
toned to thinking ones feet, In the begin
ming the orator must forget the audience. Ac-
customed to audiences, and the orator can
spend part of his time in studying the effect of
his words and regulate his speeches to
suit the taste of his hearers. While the day
of the fowery oratory is about over, the day
of the fact-putting, common sense speaker is at
hand. 1t behooves all OF US to cultivate the

Big Losses Due to Carelessness.

BE sure to extinguish match, cigar or Gig
aret before throwing away" This warning
now appears on the cgaret packages of one of
the largest American tobacco companies and is
the first example of its kind in the United,
States. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, in
whose department the forest service admins
ters the 156,000,000 acres of national forests
wrote the tobacco company expressing his
qualification its action. The fire danger
incident to the of matches and tobacco is
usually given little consideration by the vast
army of smokers. Statistics compiled by the
national board of fire underwriters show that
the annual loss from fires caused by matches
and burning tobacco in the United States
reached the impressive total of $72 900, 900 in
the period between 1915 and 1919. To this
total must be added a considerable percentage
of the unnecessary fire destruction in the for
ests of our country. where each year fires de-
stroy damage sufficient timber to build
homes for the entire population of a city the
size of Washington, New Orleans, Denver or
San Francisco.
IN the vast areas of national forests under
the administration of the agricultural depart
ment, man-caused fires are a source Of con-
slant danger. Campers, hunters, fishermen
and woods workers of all kinds smoke in the
forests. A single lighted match or glowing
cigaret carelessly thrown aside may cost the
government thousands of dollars for fire fight
ing, TO say nothing of the timber destroyed, the
harm done to water flow and the desolation of
scenic features. During 1921 there We're 500
fires in the national forests. OF these so per
cent were man-caused and 1872 have been traced
TO careless smokers. The government alone
can do comparatively little toward Kidding the
country of this fire menace which year after
year impoverishes the national wealth. Public
conscience must be awakened to the end that
we may have in the United States los, 900, 900
self-appointed fire wardens. 1t is therefore
particularly gratifying to feel that the example
set by the tobacco company will materially aid
he efforts of the department toward elinin-
,ting smokers tire&

tective purposes, but in these modern times
there is little cleavage between the two great
parties on this question. Even the Democrats
OF the solid south are now for protective
tariff upon their products The differences be-
tween the two parties have to do with methods
and details The tariff question Is recognized
as a local issue by both parties, but they can
not resist the temptation to fiay each other
when conditions will permit it The tariff, how
ever, can be made an instrument Of great in
Justice. Manufacturers and producers are like
iy to want the limit Many do not see the dan
gers of tariff well too nigh. The result is
that tariffs frequently have been made. not in
the interest of the whole people, but in the in
terest of the few who might will profit the
greatest by it.
This is the danger right now. The political
warfare in congress is largely smoke screen
There is no well developed organization in con-
gress to keep it on an even keel. Every district
has its own interest and its representative is
trying to get the protection that. it wants;
hence much trading and traffcking. Presi-
dent Harding stated the case from the broad
national viewpoint when he said: We can not
sell abroad unless we buy abroad. Let US sell
to the world the things we produce and which
1t does not produce and buy from the world the
things it produces and which do not pro-
duce."
tariff built to make this possible will af-
ford revenue, pTOtSoti0n and foreign markets
for our goods and materials The world is in
dept to us. 1t can never pay unless do bust
ness with it, and unless there Is exchange of
goods. Tariff Lawmakers must keep these fun
damentals in mind and steer steadily by them.

The Easiest Way.

When there is reason to believe that the
laws of society have been violated the easiest
way out of amy difficulty for all parties con-
cerned is not to prosecute. In fact because it is
I the easiest way and therefore the most general
" taken, certain law violators, especially those
who engage in graft and swindle attacks upon
women. furnishing minors with intoxicants and
The like, may reasonably feel, it has been dis
covered, that they likely not TO be pros
scuted as prosecuted, because the authorities
whose duty it is to that laws are enforced
and punishment melted out TO violators, are
prone to accep: the decision on the part of vic
TINS that they do not desire TO prosecute as
releasing them from their sworn duty They
can not or will not realize that these offenses
are against the state and that they have the
power to compel witnesses TO testify.
OF course the easiest way is the easiest way,
but prosecutors who probe, who take the stand
that the state is more important than any in
dividual and that painful it may be for
Individual TO appear In court and relate an
pleasant story. the only way to protect society
from certain class of undesirables is to COM
pei Just this thing, are the who make
record, become valuable to their state and
TO society in general. There would be fewer
offenses against public decency If, after the
police have done their duty and made an arrest,
prosecution were pushed in every case, and
until this is done may expect present
ditions to continue and grow worse.
