CANADA
FOLLOWS
TRAIL

Our sister nation to the northward
seems to be following in our footsteps
as nearly as she is able.
The women of Canada have just par
ticipated in their first general cleo
ton on terms Of equality with men. AS
result of the election, new admin
istration was voted in by an over
whelming majority. One woman was
chosen to the lower house, just as was
the case in our own country a year a
go; and to carry the parallel further
she, like our own woman member of
Congress, is unmarried. She is Miss
Agnes McPhail, woman whose popu-
larity is said to rest no more upon her
pleasing personality than upon the
confidence which her constituents have
in her ability and good sense.
In the results of this election can
be read only peace and goodwill be-
tween the two great nations of the
North American continent. The man
who will succeed to the premiership.
Mr.. w. L. Mckenzie King, took his
postgraduate degrees at Harvard
and the University of Chicago.

PAY DEBT
With ISLANDS
BROWNE

Washington D. C.-Representative
Browne, Republican, Wisconsin, mem
Der of the house committee on foreign
affairs, thinks the time is ripe for the
United States to take up with France
the matter of having Trench posses
sions in the West Indies turned over
to this country in part payment of her
war indebtedness. He has begun a
study of the question with the view to
offering resolution to be directed
either to the body that may be ap-
pointed for handling foreign indebted
ness or to the state department.
Mr. Browne suggested that since
France has shown a. disposition to
keep a large standing army and a
great number of submarines, which
will cause her heavy expense, it would
not be inappropriate for this govern
ment to take up with her the question
of Indebtedness.
France" he said, cant keep up an
army of 100000 men and the large
navy proposed without borrowing
more money. If we reduced her debt

or should cancel her obligations she
would be wanting to borrow money
and We are the only country that
could loan her any.
IF France IS afraid Of any
nation she ought to tell us so. She
told US she was afraid of Germany
and while she exaggerated some, we
can see some reason for that. But
what maritime power is she afraid
of? If she is afraid Of England. Italy
or Japan she should tell US. Let her
put her cards on the table.
Il believe we should take up with
her as soon as possible the question
of indebtedness. The West Indies are
source of expense to her Yet she
does not offer to give these over
either in part or as a whole in pay
ment OF her indebtedness.

PUBLIC INVITED
To TAKE PART

There is suspicion that the four
women members of the Advisory
Committee of the Disarmament Con.
ference have been making their views
felt regarding the submarine question.
Some time ago, the committee pass
ed a resolution to the effect that it
had found public opinion opposed to
the abolition of submarines or to the
limitation of their size in any drastic
degree"
On second thought, the committee
seems to have had some doubts as to
whether this resolution was justified
by the facts. At any rate, it has re-
ferred the matter to the Committee on
Public Opinion for the Advisory Com
mittee, New Navy Building No. 6,
Washington, with the request that it
ascertain what the people of America
really do think of the proposal that
the use of submarines be abolished or
limited in war.
The women of our nation seem gen
orally to look upon submarine warfare,
as practiced in the late conflict, as
something fendish and altogether un-
justified. Whatever view they may
hold, they have at present an oppor-
tunity to register their convictions
where they may be helpful by writing
to the above named committee.

ADU7Y We
ALL D v T

How many children of others peo-
pie do you meet in the run of a day?
How many of those children do you
pass without any form of greeting?
How many of them are completely
ignored?
We owe duty to every child that
we meet. That duty is to let the child
know that it is among it's friends and
it's protectors, that the mere presence
of an adult in its vicinity is a guaran-
tee that it is safe from all harm.
Children should be taught to respect
their elders, but never to fear them.
When fear enters the heart of
child respect and confidence begin to
disappear. That is one of the first
steps toward waywardness, and the
others are easy to take.
A kindly word of greeting to the
child we meet costs US nothing. It's
effect is seen not only in the bright
ness of the little countenance, but also
in the sunshine that permeates it's
soul in after years.
Smile when you meet them. They
will soon be smiling in return.

TWOSTATE
SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTIONS

Two great conventions will be con-
Quoted by the State Sunday School
Association IN March, according to the
plans discussed and adopted at the
Annual meeting of the Board of Di
rectors of that body, held at the head
quarters in Oshkosh, Friday, December
80.
The convention for the northearn
section will be held in Ladysmith, on
March 6, 7, 8 and the Sunday School
workers of the southern part of the
State will go to Kenosha, March 9, 10,
and p.
Another item of Importance was the
change of the date Of State Older
Boys and Girls Conferences, which are
conducted by the State Sunday School
Association from the Thanksgiving
recess to the weekend of the week of
the State Teachers Convention, which
comes early in November. This is one
of the great annual religious gather
ings of the State, over four hundred
Boys and Girls and their leaders being
in attendance at the one held in Wau-
sau last November. The average of
the Boys was 1878, and of the Girls,
1882 years
lied for 1928.
The reports showed this to be one
of the best years in the history of the
Association. The receipts during the
year were enough to pay the way in
spite of the financial condition which
was obtained
The State Workers reported sixty
counties under organization with
County Sunday School Associations.
This is an increase of twenty-eight
in the last six years. They had work
ed in fifty-one county conventions, been
present at ten County Executive Com
mittee meetings, held five County Chill
| dren's Administrative Division Con-
ferences, held ten County Older Boys
and Girls Conferences for twelve
counties, placed, planned, advertised
and programmed three State Sectional
Conventions and conducted the State
Older Boys and Girls Conferences at
| Wausau.
This involved over $4,000 Miles of
automobile travel.
! Board members were present from
La Crosse, Green Bay, Appleton, Wau-
paca, Neenah and Oshkosh The meet
ing was in charge of Mr.. William Main
land, of Oshkosh, president of the AS
ISOLATION.

AS THE
EDITOR
SEES IT

Before exhausting all of its energies
in attempting to restore normal con-
ditions and a prospect Of peace thru
out the world it would be we'll for the
government to devote little time and
effort toward suppressing the reign
of banditry that is sweeping over our
own land.
In the halcyon days of the wild and
woolly west" when bad men thrived
and the six-gun ruled, respectable CT
tizens found it necessary to band them
selves together as vigilance commit
tees in order to suppress lawlessness
when the courts and the sheriffs and
the marshals failed.
They took the law into their own
hands, decorated convenient trees with
the worst of the desperadoes, and SER
we'd notice on others that their health
would be conserved by a hasty depart
ure.
The vigilante methods were rather
crude, but highly effective, and met
with the popular approval of respec-
liability and decency.
Of course we would hardly recon-
mend a similar course to the law "a
biding citizens of our large centers of
population where crime fourishes and
is on the increase, but surely some eff
fective action will soon become neces-
sary if we are to prevent this country
from falling into the hands of an ele-
ment that has no regard for anything
but their own will.
1t rather peeves country editor to
pick up city paper day after day and
| find it filled with mail and bank rob-
berries, murders, holdups, abductions
beatings, thuggery, and similar meth
DDS OF passing away the time.
With such vast populations to draw
upon there ought to be at least an oc-
casional departure from the regular
routine of news.
