Penalizing Recklessness

CYLINDER a recent Virginia enactment drivers of
y all vehicles, on approaching grade crossings
of railways outside the corporate limits of any
town, must come to a full stop not less than ten
feet nor more than one hundred feet from the near
est rail" notes the New York Herald. "The law
carries a penalty of $40 fine for violation.
"'The legend "Stop, Look, Listen" as a mere warn
ing, however plainly displayed on sign boards at
grade crossings, is to a great extent a failure. A
particularly appalling object lesson of the results
of neglect to heed it may for a time increase eau
tiousness within the more or less restricted dis
trict in which live persons having first hand knowl-
edge of it but even there it is quickly forgotten.

Death of Pioneer.

Saturday Of last week, Mrs. Angus
ia Allen Atwood died at her home in
the city Of ST. Cloud Of old age. The
deceased was Il Of the respected and
beloved Of pioneer women, who with
her young husband came to this sec
ton of the state, when it was still in
it's infancy, and helped to make it the
glorious portion Of the United States
it is today. More and more the old
pioneer stock is depleted by death, hut
the memory Of such good and sturdy
people as the deceased and her hus-
band who proceeded her in death by
many years.
The deceased is survived by three
sons, Clarence Z, Atwood, banker of
st. Cloud, DR.. Harry Atwood, prac-
ticing physician Of Riverside, CAL,
and Erwin w. Atwood, merchant, Of
st. Cloud. A number of grand-child-
rem also survive her. Her body was
laid to rest in North Star cemetery
last Wednesday. We extend to the
family our sincere sympathy.

Pearl Lake Tragedy.

1t is believed that two sons of Mr..
and Mrs. John Neubeck, who live on
"a farm south Of Pearl Lake.. were
drowned last Thanksgiving day. They
went hunting around the lake. that
day, and when last seer were stand
ing on the shore neal a fish-box some
distance in the lake. A little later,
the fsh-box was seen floating, as tho
it had been set free from it's moorings
in the ice, and no trace could be found
of the two boys. It is thought that
they may have tried to walk over to
the ice to this box, and there broken
through.
A searching party organized by
Sheriff Schooner has been securing
the countryside in the hope that the
boys may have become lost in the
woods, but no trace Of them has been
found, and the drowning theory GEMS
to be the plausible one. The parents
are FRUSTRATED over the tragedy.

Editorial Section
EDUCATION WEEK.

We are about to be treated to an education week ana
there is likely to be a lot Of mouth-flling phrases let loose
about the value and necessity of educatlon,. especially OF ohe
higher class, and what methods and means should De useu
to make us all take large allopathic doses OF the panacea.
The value of EDUCATION of the right kind IS recognlzed
bv all neonle of sense, but there should be some emphasis
placed on the word right If education is to become g
bulwark of civilization, it must emphasize the basic virtues
of individual and communal life: honesty, thrift, industry
morality, tolerance, love Of home and family, charity ana
love of God. It should teach that it is a disgrace not TO
work; that honesty is the best policy; that th1s country was
founded on the fullest measure OF individual hberty con
sistent with good government; that a mans home IS MS
castle: that a particular religious belief is each mans own
particular individual business; and that government is TOT
the people, and not the people for the government.
No nation that was once great ever failed because OF de-
cline Of education, but because of decline Of the basic virtues;
because education and culture became poisoned with evil and
begot evil and decline.

ing. The first business was the charge

HOME WEEK.

Now that we are developing quite a fad for having So
called "weeks'' for about everything under the sun, might it
not be a good idea to have a t'home week. This should be
carried out literally, that is by really and truly staying at
home and getting acquainted with the different members Of
the family. It might prove quite interesting for those that
have spent every evening away from home, either at clubs,
societies, dances, theatres, shows or parties, to renew acquain-
lance with the rest of the family, and might keep the home
strings from dangling.

NEW PLAN OF THE R Y

The press dispatches report Director Qvale to state that
all aliens convicted of liquor law violations will be deported.
And he discloses, as his further plans in law enforcement, his
intention to get the citizenship of all naturalized foreigners
cancelled, who are convicted Of violations Of the liquor laws,
and then deport them also. A most excellent plan. May we
suggest that he also confscate all their property, and declare
their wives and children aliens and subject to deportation.
We fear though the eminent enforcement officer will find it
hard to get the foreign countries to receive these exiles. 1t
would be much easier, it seems to us, to have another law
passed making violation of the.liquor laws treason, and
punish the violators with death. Have regular execution days
and kill them off at sunrise. =

Travelling In The Old
World Across The
Atlantic
By Rev. Joseph Kreuter, o. S. B.
(Continued)

At quaint Andernach we enter the
zone Of the American troops Of occu-
patton. New impressions crowd upon
US at Coblenz. The thousands Of Anne
rican soldiers quartered in this city,
in the fortress Of Ehrenbreitstein
across the river, in the Notifications
of the Karthouse, in Moselweiss and
other neighboring towns, add color to
the life in this region. From morning
till late at night they stroll about
alone or in groups, fraternize with the
inhabitants who seem to enjoy the
congenial company Of their intruding
guests. The city was forced to build
many new costly mansions for the Of
~icers; the private soldiers are quar-
tered either in the former German
barracks, in public buildings or pri-
vate houses. Never, for weeks, did
we observe any comradeship between
our American troops and French sol
| diers.
Prohibition is an unknown term to
our men and one can understand that
they are not anxiously looking for

Greater Tokyo with a population Of
5,164,000 people and an area Of 1911

third among the capitals Of the world.
with a million and a half more people
within the city limits than Paris or
Berlin. New York ranks second and
London first. Twenty-fotr villages and
suburbs have been included in the.
greater city. The expansion has taken
the form-of a great circle, the imperial
palace being almost in the center. The.
radius is nearly ten English miles.
Viscount Goto, mayor of Tokyo, has
in view the construction of modern
roads, long lacking in the capital, i'm
lprovement of the tramcar lines and
the creation Of a great harbor where
ocean liners can call.
In old times Tokyo was called Yedo
and was but a fishing village. The
Shotgun Tokugawa Qyeyasu chose it
for his capital in 1890.
