PdtYIOtism-Hs Place
In american Education

haps so different In degree, but the
| difference In kind was as that be
tween a noble and a. wasted sacrihoe.
And the difference In the soul OF the
/ Individual soldier may not have
seemed so great, but the difference
in the national soul was as that be-
tween the lofty and the low.
And yet the national soul is the
composite of the souls OF its citizens.
Is not this A At text for education?
II would make every one a nation
builder, great and small adult and
child. Each Is part OF the whole.
No one Is Insignificant in such a
conception. Th Q thoughts, the
words, the deeds OF tho meenest have
their efrsot-they help to make or
mar the whole. And tho whole Is
tho nation.
Such a conception must make us
feel greater concern not only IN
ourselves but in our follows also.
We and they have new motive for
our lives-living up to the nations
best traditions. We 500 that we
have a vital interest in the welfare
OF others. We act and react upon
each other. Discrimination, injus-
tice and oppression touch as II they
exist at all.
Il Is said that we are in an era
OF materieiism. But can that be
true unless we ourselves are mater
ialists7 Are we content that Amer
iea have a materiellst soul9
II d said there.ls q reaction against
ideallsm. It Is true that demagogy
may parade as pRrtiotism and senti-
msntality as virtue, but the cure
does not he IN oynioism nd sordid-
moss. Thsre 10 sincerity STILL In
hfsh purpose and lofty aim.
What we must teach than in
school and out, Is the patriotism
that works for the highest standard
OF national life and national action,
and against the lowering OF our ma
tionsl aspirations, against the mar
row, sordid, selfish view IN private
and IN pubic life.
There o4n ns no more vitdf sub
ject for education. 1t needs a new
There must be rever~
ence FOR the past, but not unques-
roning, nor und1soriminating, not
with boasttu lness, nor self righteous
ness. And above all there must be
a high resolve that the America OF
the present the America that we |
are building today, shall not betray |
a trust but shall everywhere stand |
and speak and act for right and |
mercy. for justice and peace.

problem for the present in the hands
Of the State authorities. He puts ir
UP to them that they must deal with
the matter until they declare it is
beyond their control. Whenever,
they say they cannot handle any Klan
situation that arises and call for
Federal intervention he will put the
authority and power of the national
Government IN charge. .
That clear way Of thinking and'
straight course Of action in respect
OF State authority and the klan
applies with equal force to State
authority and other purely local
problems. If a State can handl,
its lynching troubles it is the duty
of the State to handle them. II
State cannot handle its lynchins
troubles It can always call upon th5
national Govrnment TO handle them
And then It becomes the duty Of the
national Government to handle
them.
Cntil State officers confess their
inability TO prevent lynching or -
punish lynchers and until they call
upon the Federal Government TO
help them do what they cannot do
when left TO themselves It would
seem that there is no more reason
for Federal intervention in state.

Federal Intervention in State Ku

help her case by adopting It.
The Western powers abandoned
extraterritorial rights in Japan

modernness by improving It's anti

of the primitiveness and uncertain
ties of Turkish law and legal ad-

whereby Turkey can be raised to-
real equality without prejudice to
the foreigners whom the capitula-

UsH> OF THE STREET
Ftom the Washlngton Post.

From the washington Post.
The pedestrians right Of way is
coupled with the duty TO observe
proper care. The traffic police are
under orders to be watchful over
those .crossiRg streets, to the end
that accidents may be avoided, but
the police, no matter how vigllant
they may be, can not wholly safe
guard the pedestrian. The motor
lists privilege of using the streets
Is Joined with tho obligation to OBJ
serve proper care lest those on foot
be injured-but motorists, no mat
ter how careful they may be, can
not insure the safety OF pedestrians.
The safety of those who walk de-
pends not only on strictness in the
enforcement OF traffic regulations
and on care on the part OF motor
lists, but on their own care. Ped
ostrians owe It to themselves and TO
those who drive to help to avoid ac-
oidents by being wetchful and eau
tious,
Those who indulge in jay walking
are in danger OF finding that the
shortest way across street IS the
longest Way-sometimes running
via hospital and sick bed and some
times ending at the grave. The
safest way across Is easiest for all
the best. Watch
the semaphore to see the direction
Of traffic before venturins from the
curb and be on the watch for mo-
tor vehicles turning corners.
The police authorities are exerting
their best effort to save pedestrians
from avoidable injury IN traffic and
drivers OF motor vehicles are gener-
ally concerned 10 avoid injuris
others. Let pedestrians do their
part by supplementing the watch
fulness OF the police and the care
Of drivers with their own care.
which is necessary to insure their
safety.

THE TURKISH CApITUnATIoNs


From the New York Tribune.
The American position on tn,
Turkish cspttulatton cofnoidee It'll
that taken by the other Allied pow
ers at Lausanne. It also coinoides
with the decisions reached at the
Washington conference as to extra
territorial rights in China. These
rights exist by treaty. They cannot
be abrogated except by treaty.
The capitulations were accepted
by Turkey when she was a much
stronger power than she IS today.
They were not held then to encroach
unduly on Turkish sovereignty.
They were supposed to rid the Tur-
kish government OF duties which It
was not keen to discharge. Ismet
Pasha is wrong when he contends
that action OF the Sultan's govern
ment in October, 1914, wiped out
Turkeys treaty Obligations. A CON
tract cannot be annulled by q. single
party to It. The United States never
consented to the abrogation OF its
extra territorial rights, the continuity
of which, moreover, was never brol-
en- by declaration of war.
Baron Hayashi reminds Isn1et
that Japan formerly granted extra
territorial rights to foreignerA
These rights were not terminated by
a proclamation on her part. They
were abrogated through negotiation

FAVORABLE opinion OF the Merchant Marine Bill
"a viewed by representative Of interior state
presented recently in address the House by
Congressman James T. Begg of ohio. Mr.. Begg as
that 80 per cent of the opposition to the bill
comes from States that would required pay only
10 per the subsidy. States now pay
per the 100000 deficit in ship
ton, would required pay only 10 per cent Of
.the ssoOOOooO which the Merchant Marine Bill would
require annually a subsidy.
