MAKINo WORMS VOTE.

While there is no getting away from
the fart that there Is a moral response
btllty resting upon the shoulders of vot-
eYs TO 60 to the polls. and it is equally
clear that II the franchise is worth hav-
ing 1t Is worth exercising, the lower
house Of the Massachusetts legislature
has turned down the bill which would
have made 1t compulsory fer voters To
60 tn the polls on election day and vote.
Compulsory voting might be regarded
IN LiFch the same light as compulsory
education. Both have in view the de-
velopment Of a better citizenship and the
requiring of all that they should meet
their responsibilities. but the effects of
the lack Of a compulsory education law
would be much more serious than the
failure to provide a law that would in
slst that voters must go to the polls.
The sea has developed from the fact
that thnre are so many of the voters in
every community who fail to respond to
their duty through lack Of interest or
sorsetfuiness. and the belief has existed
shat some penalty should be attached for
their failure to vote If they can get to
the polls Massachusetts, regards it as
q matter OF privilege and If an elector
doesn't want to vote for any Of the many
seasons that might arise he should not
u made to do so except through appeals
Brought to bear upon him to do his duty.
: In connection with movements for
compulsory voting there seems to be an
even greater need Of providing fer abb
sentes voting. Many there are who
would like to get to the polls to cast
Ger vote but are presented through
4bsence from the city or the state Of
health which makes it inadvisable tc
venture forth during any and all kinds
e. weather. Much as they regret it they
ere obliged to forego what they would
Hke TO perform and leave to others what
ehey are entitled to vote upon. Severa
states permit voters who are going to bt
sway election day to prepare their bal
tots and mail them in advance of cleo
0on day. to be counted with the others
q prevents the disfranchising of man,
{ vote who could not otherwise exercis
his privilege.

FIFTIETH ARBoR DAY.

Widespread has been the appeal in be-
4alf Of ArboS day and general has been
the response throughout the country to
the objects involved. Extensive would
Be the forest and dense would be the
shrubbery could the trees, bushes and
vines be assembled in one great arbore-
tunn that have been planted throughout
the country on Arbor day. Grand chill
aren Of those who were in school when
the idea was first started are today be-
ipg interested in the Importance of lust
such activity for the proper appreciation
q trees and their perpetuation.
Il Is en1inently fitting at this time that
President Harding should issue a proc
lamation in behalf Of the observance Of
the golden anniversary Of the institution
o. Arbor day which was started in the
slate Of Nebraska 80 years ago this
month
Arbor day was intended to prevent the
elimination Of the trees by setting out
rev ones where st was believed they
were needed or by replacing those which
had been removed for one reason or an
other. The Identification possible through
trees was en1rhaei7 as well as the add
ed value which they give to proper
the attraction to highways and commu.
mites. But a half century after the
starting Of Arbor dav there is a demand
for the replacing Of the forests that have
been so extensively used. and It is but
natural that there should be a Joint eff
fort for the DEVELOPMENT, preservation
and protection Of forestland culminatins
In the observance of Arbor day during
the week Of April 1922.
Appeal Is made to the schools to unit
IN thought and action for the preserva
ton Of our common heritage through tn
arranging Of programmes to show tina
the great waste from forest fires and tn
national demands upon resources wlic
are being utilized faster than they ar
being developed
It is through the schools that import
ant thought regarding these matters ca
be planted IN the minds Of the Young. bu
Il Is not solely the school children whic
need TO fully understand the situation
Arbor day should on its golden anniver
sary have a message for those who ca
give Immediate attention to the needs.

sCRAPPING THE SHIPS.

Scrapping the vessels which are to be
disposed of under the naval treaty pre-
sents no small problem. There, are II
old battleships to be junked together with
some which have not been finished and
1t remains to be determined what win
be the most advantageous manner OF dis
posing of them.
They could Of course be taken out in
to midocean and sunk That would put
an end to them once and fer ali In ae-
cord with the treaty terms, but it would
also mean an absolute waste of the ma
terial of which they are constructed. In
asmuch as men would be employed to
produce steel, iron and brass for other
purposes there is no good reason why
they should not be employed IN taking
these vessels to pieces and utilizing this
material for such purposes as 1t would
ordinarily be used in the channels of
trade It could be worked over into other
ships. into locomotives, into rails or
ploughshareS.
It is pleasing to learn that the dispo-
siti6n of naval experts is to scrap the
ships for such use of the material as
may develop instead of scuttling them. l.
is certainly time to avoid any waste that
can be prevented. 1t is bad enough to
have the costly material go for junk
prices but it is preferable to absolutely
throwing it away.
That there is a difference Of opinion
as to the manner in which the serappiHg
should be done causes no surprise. Nat
urally it must be studied with view
to getting the best results. There must
be efficiency in serapping quite the same
as in any other effort and the method
by which the government can get the
most out of 1t should be employed.
1t is a good idea when thought is
given to keeping those employed who
have been thrown out Of jobs because OF
the curtailed navy yard operations, and
it would seem to be desirable method
IL they could be set to work stripping
the ships and cutting them UP, provided
| it is believed by those in a position te
know that this would bring the greatest
returns to the government. II the ilavJ
yards can construct probably they ough
to be able to destroy quite as efficiently
as others and without waste Of time
Uncle Sam has a right to expect to Sc
as big return from the scrap pile a.
possible.

Child Training at Home

Developing Good judgement in Children.
BY Edith Lockrldge Reid
Much of the inefflciency throughout the
business world today is directly due TO
the lack of proper early training in the
home. No business system or course in
craftsmanship and teachniuue overcome
the habits and mind development ae-
quired while the individual was passing
through childhood and the most impress
sionable years of his existence.
One Monday morning discovered that
/ was out of laundry soap because Jen-
ME, our laundress, had not reported the
fact before she left the previous week.
There was just time for Robert to go
to the store before school. Get FIVE
bars of NJ. B. Laundry Soap / told
him as he started off. Meanwhile Jen-
ME sat around waiting, all because she
hadn't told me about the empty soap
box the week before However. while
this fact is not exactly the point am
making in this article, yet nevertheless
it proves that Jennie had not been taught
to Use her judgment when she was
small.
But to go back to Robert. In the
course Of the time he appeared Il the
kitchen with empty hands. : had told
him TO get NJ. B. Laundry Soap, but the
store had none. and although the grocN
wanted him to bring the nexi- best he
decided not to spend bis mone7 for somes
thing 1 hadn't told him tc get Now
Robert is nine year, old. and ne knew
that the washing coufi 4ot begin until
we had the soap. But there were were

MORE COURT MAoH1NERY.

Those who are standing In the way Of
the appointment of the number Of judges
believed to be necessary to properly han
die the business of the federal courts
are aiding in the continuation of that
clogged condition which makes 1t impos-
sible to carry out the proper enforce
ment Of the law.
Where it has been found that there
have been an insufficient number Of
agents to deal with the business Of boot
Logging more have been added and the
number of United States commissioners
likewise increased, but the better atten
ton to business through this improved
machinery doesn't overcome the situa-
ton on the federal court docket in the
various districts. -
When eases are made ready for the
court, only to have the alleged violat6rs
of federal laws return to their past
practices and get no summons from the
federal court for disposition Of their
cases, it becomes evident that business
is piling up faster than it can be prop
erly handled. Efforts have been made
to clear up dockets by bargain day" ar
rangements, but that doesn't leave 8
good impression for law enforcement
even in the minds of the guilty. BY the
delays in being brought to trial or by
the rushing through of the cases at the
rate of one minute to dispose of then
somehow, the impression can be easily
gained that the violations were inconse
duehtial and the penalty nothing to 81
, feared.
What is needed is sufficient court ma
chinery that the business before the fed
eral courts can be dealt with as it shoult
/ be regardless of what the charges are
and that deficiency would be supplied
