NOT QUITTING IN"

If France or any other nation has
any idea that the United States is try
! ing to join with any foreign power in
order to get into the conference con-
corning reparations. France or that
other power is quite mistaken. There
is not the semblance of a desire in
this country, either in the White House
or in the country that the United
States should take the initiative in
trying to force any European power
into state of isolation. We are not
trying and we will not try to compel
the acceptance of our terms by the
force of public opinion or any other
force. We have taken the digniiied
stand that we arc glad to help but
We do not want to help Europe at
the expense of any nation of it.
But the conviction is that France
will not believe we are taking any
such stand as that attributed to US by
some small minded critics. ii is hard
for any European power to believe
that there is any nation in the world
prompted primarily by altruistic mo-
tivcs True. as it has been said, It
would he to our advantage and the
advantage of our farmers and those
who have claims against Germany, TO
have stability in Europe; to have the
reparations matter settled. But this
situation would not be sufficient in
centive for us to butt into European
affairs when we were not wanted by
all the nations there. The very fact
that France is communicating with
the United states informally, as far
as such communications may be in
formal, shows that she docs not
honestly and fully believe any Interior
motive attaches to our offer.
We may agree with Great Britain,
Italy and Belgium, and we may dis
agree about certain restrictions pro.
posed for the committee to inyesti-
gate Germany's ability to pay But
We will form no secret alliance, or
we will conduct no secret negotiations
with any nation with the hope Of
forcing France TO do something she
docs not wish To do. And, We be-
licye. France suspects this to he the
true state OF affairs IN spite OF her
immovable attitude.

SLIPPERY HIGHWAYS.

One of the many problems in con-
nection with pavements. both in the
streets and on the walks Travelled by
pedestrians, is how to construct one
that will not be slippery in vet
weather In the matter of walks the
city board of public works has solved
the problem in a measure by ccasing
to put smooth finish on new walks
constructed. 1t is expected that this
innovation will reduce the number OF
accidents to pedestrians due to Slip
perry walks especially in the winter
The matter of highways, however
is more difficult of solution and il
appears at present that there is a
chance for the manufacturers of auto
mobile tires to carry their attempts
to produce "non-skid" tires ever far
Their than they have done. That skid
kind of automobiles is a great source
of danger there can be no question

suspicion comes that the people felt
this way about it too. and--well they
really did not want to run the risk
of paying more taNcs--let the city's
Indebtedness go for a little while at

In New York the election of tho
TammaAy judges resulted from a
failure of the voters to see any

fact that Tammany has its vote well

all. 1t was merely a normal election

than would be expected with the
increasing facilities of the trade
school. Probably a majority of these
boys have chosen wisely. But the
point to he emphasized is that the
choice of the life job should be made
after looking far ahead, when such a
thing is possible, and trying to decide
whether you will be satisfied if you
ever reach the very top of the line
you have chosen. And incidentally
when a boy enters any work, or when
a man tries to make good in any line
of work, a trade, profession or execu-
tive calling, he should be quito will

and overalls if 1t is necessary TO the

"rORGrT.ME-NOT DAY"

Not only the governor of our state

time to give practical evidence that
there is no danger of our forgetting
the men who are still bearing the
suffering Of war and who may remain
in pain or in crippled condition to
the end Of their lives because they
fought for us,
Governor TcmpIetons sympathetic
endorsement Of the day, Saturday,
November IN, serves hut to remind us
that hero is the chance for MS to
show. ever "a tnadoquatclN our rcah-
cation of what the disabled veterans
Of the war have given. There were
many who were killed. To them VIC
pay tribute but for them we can do
nothing. There were many who
fought bravely risling everything,
hut who escaped permanent injury
and who appear to have suffered no
il effects because of their service.
For them we have done nothing.
But there are others who lost, there
on the battle field, somAng they
can never regain-:heir ~alth and
strength: their ability to help them
selves. For them, this coming Sat
urday, we can do a little. There il
no more urgent public call than this.
Many of us are ashamed that the
men who were called Upon have re-
ceived so little recognition by those
who represent the country We arc
ashamed that scandal after scandal
hes attached to the caring for the
disabled OF the war.

may express ourselves quietly but
effectively by aiding these men them
