She expresses herself with more facil-
ity, and has a quicker wit. She has
a keen intuition for meeting people
socially.
These are gifts that help in the po-
litical field. It is often remarked that
many men get elected, not because Of
their qualifications but because their
ability as public speakers creates a
favorable impression, and their social
gifts help them make friends. So
many women have talents for express
ing themselves and meeting people
pleasantly, that 1t seems reasonable
to suppose that as time goes on a
large number Of them will seek outlet
for this talent in political life.
One obstacle that the majority Of
them will encounter at present is the
lack of business experience. The

COAL FROM ENGLAND
PAGE THREE

While our coal miners and oper-
ations are idle and fighting over wage
matters, coal is being imported from
England, and it is estimated that the
cost to the consumer will be about the
same. With the greatest coal supply
in the world it seems the easier
method would be for our government
to get busy putting drastic measures
into action that will insure this vast
home product to get into the public
bins. The American consumer rarely
rebels at the price of coal if it can
be secured, but the thought Of hauling
it from England under present condi-
tions is nauseating.

sentially business proposition. There
are too many men in public affairs
now who got there because they are
capable takers, rather than because of
their sound judgment and executive
gifts. But as more women acquire
business experience and deal with
large affairs, it is reasonable to sup
pose that there will be a consider
able group Of them who will both
have the business experience and will
have this ability of self expression and
of cultivating political friendships.
The woman who aspires to political
life needs not merely to cultivate ia
cility' in public speech, but should also
make a study Of business conditions,
and become familiar with the princip-
les that enable people to attain econ
omic prosperity. Political leaders

WHAT AIS our sCHooLs2

Many persons at times doubtless
have experienced a feeling that there
is something wrong in our system of
education, but have been unable to
determine just what it is It has re-
manned for William Allen White to
tell US where the trouble lies. Com
menting on a declaration of Mrs.
Maud Wood Park. that, Education is
the reliance of our democracy" Mr..
White in an editorial in Judge" says:
Sure, Mike, and amen to these lofty
sentiments But education in what?
Education as a palladium of our lib
critics should be sent into the shop
for general repairs. Education is not
doing the job. Millions of children
are being scrubbed back of the ears
every morning and sent away to school
that they may save the republic, only
to rush to the ballot box a few years
later and vote for Hylan and Thomp-
son and Tom Watson and Jim Reed
and the Republican party and the
Democratic party and nothing in par
ticular. They all have grand educa-
tons, these millions of voters. They
can spell a little, write a fairly IegibIe
hand, and bound the Ukraine and toss
around logarithms and make angel
food cake and quarter-sawed oak mu-
sic racks and chatter about the
ems name do the fool kids know
really Which one of them knows how
to define a. grafter2 Who. can tell in
plain one-word language why it is
wrong to take the interest on public
funds, il the law does not specifically
declare the appropriation of the in
terest crime? What graduate
from our common schools knows a
social act from an anti-social act2
What child ever learned at school any
fundamental definition of patriotism
outside of flag waving and creed
memorizing or batting the foreigners.
or being a 100 per cent American -
The trouble with education as a
panacea for the ills of democracy is
that it is all outside of the needs of
democracy. We spend billions to teach
children nothing about right or wrong
in our public morals, and jam their
poor heads full of perfectly useless
facts and theories about things that
are as unrelated to the safety of the
republic as the moon dogs. Until our
people get tired OF grOaning under
taxes that bring them only a perpetu-
alton of bad government under chang
ing parties the school as a reliance in
the conservation Of democracy will be
a huge and tragic joke.

THE DAYS
There never was an ugly day.
"A day from dawn to dusk 50 dark
But somewhere kindness showed spark
And friendship smiled to light the way
There have been bitter days of old.
And cruel days Of loss and pain,
But Time has proved their golden gain
And now their splendor men behold.
There never was a day so bleak
But brought its compensation, too,
Old friends returned or friendships new
Strong hands to toll when ours are weak
Our lives grow richer by the days
We live, and foul or fair.
Some treasure is recorded there
To brighten memory's winding ways.
Tomorrow we shall richer be
Than ever We have been before
For, having lived just one day more
We shall have banked its splendid Zee.
Out Of the sorrow and regret,
The hurt and bitterness and pain
Some lovely memory viii remain,
Some joy which we cannot forget

searched-and found amazingly. The
floor of one pigeonhole had sprung

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young lady 20 years of age and am in
] love with a young man two years my
senior. I went with him Tor tune
and learned to love him. and I be-
lieved he cared a great deal for me,
for he told me he loved me.
! After a time he lost his position
and he left for his home. He made
me promise I would write but never
received any answer. About a week
! later his boy friend received a letter
from him and he wanted to know why
I never answered. 1t was because 1
had not received his letters. L wrote
Immediately telling him that had not
and that he should write again. I was
sure l would receive a letter. wait
ed a week, and still no answer came.
and so wrote another letter
To this day have never heard from
him. He told his boy friend in let
ter he wrote him that he intended
coming back but he never heard from
me and SO he was going on to another
city. 1 love him very much and
sometimes I thing can't go another
day.
DO you think his love was true love ?
He told his boy friend an his letter
that he loved me more than any girl
he had ever met. Did 1 do right in
sending that last letter? Do you
think he will ever come back to the
city?
Please do not tell me to forget him
L.
all day long. I try to think of other
things and go with other fellows but
am not satisfied for am always
thinking of him. Would it be proper
for me to write again or not? If 1
thought he would come back would
be the happiest person.
ANXIOUSLY WAITING.
The boys love was not true, or he
would have written to you again.

not receive your letters It looks very
much as if he changed his mind about
his regard for you and rather than
tell you took that way OF breaking off.
friend? Or did the friend merely tell
you what was in it, Either way be-
heve that he received your letters.
You did the right thing in writing
as you did. Naturally you believed in
the person you loved so much and so
you gave him the benefit of the doubt
and sent letters thinking he had not
received the former ones When love
is the motive of mistake the person
making the mistake should not worry
about it.

Senator Walsh of Massachusetts
says many members of congress Sc
cretly are opposed to the soldier bo-
nus but will vote for It on a show
down. The senator probably is right
and that fact explains much of the
jockeying that is going on. Delayed
action probably is due largely to the
efforts of those opposed to the meas
ure and they seem to be in the ma
jority. But the majority will be
quickly transformed into a minority

RAVES AID REVENUEs.

The rate reductions will be GOOD
for the country in the lighter load on
shippers If the roads can do their
work for the shippers and the coun-
try But the rate reductions without
wage reductions will be bad for both
the railroads and the country because
the carriers cannot stand so heavy a
loss of revenues unless they can make
a corresponding cut in operating ex-
penses.-New York Herald.
That the railroads will suffer a loss
of revenue as the result of the reduc-
ton in rates is merely presumption on
the part of the Herald. Apparently it
is the belief of the interstate COM
merce commission that the lower
rates will increase the revenues of
the roads and not diminish them.
This view is generally supported by
nearly all classes OF citizens. Had the
commission thought otherwise, prob
ably it would not have ordered the cut
until there had been a reduction in
wages.
However, freight rates. acting as a
stimulus to business. and lower wages,
resulting in curtailment of expenses
operating in conjunction will enable
the roads to make long needed i'm
provements, repairs and extensions
and will benefit the entire country.
What has been done should have been
done months ago.
There is one more thing that should
be brought about without delay and
that is a reduction in passenger rates.
When that is done there will be moth
ing in the way of return of the rail-
roads and the whole country to the
days Of greatest prosperity of both.
There exists the same reasons for
reducing passenger fares that have OBJ
tanned in the matter of freight rates.
4 marked improvement in passenger
traffic already is seen since the re-
moval of the federal tax and the re-
duction in tourist rates. A restora-
ton OF the 3-cent-a-mile rate would
still further increase the revenues of
the roads.
