Teach the Constitution

COME ONE has suggested that the Constitution
~ Of the United States be taught in the public
schools of tile land. There are worse ideas. If
the plan were adopted and carried into effect, the
rising generation would be given an opportunity
TO become acquainted with the basic law of the
republic. A thing we fear there is altogether
too little known concerning, in this day of so much
fancy work in the schools.
If the younger element knew moro about the
Constitution they would be in position to know
what to do and how to answer the demagogues
that infest the country, who are constantly at
tempting to tear the old institution down.
By all means let us have q revival of the Con-
s~titution and start it in the schools, and let it
spread the country over, even to the high places.
Let there be such a wide understanding of the
contents of the old document that no man, woman
or child need have any question of its provisions.
And once understood let the teaching be that
IN strict adherence to it lies the pathway to ma
tional security.
There has been quite enough tearing away at
American institutions and assaults upon the COR
nerstones of our sacred edifices erected in the
past, to suit sincere and patriotic Americans.
Let us have a correct and thorough understand
ing of what we stand for, and then stand by it.
And, as for those who do not stand with us
there is the gate.
This country, and no country can live, with a
divided people. And no country should permit any
section of its people to assault what the major
ity consider its safety. Its anchor of security.

Joined, and thus fulfill the ancient saw. They
are doing it with considerable flourish, that is,
looking after the security of the fastenings. They
have found them in good order and are going
further, in order to run true to exact form. They
are making hundreds of arrests of car drivers
for trivial infractions of the law, and the courts
are jammed with peeved citizens desiring to know
why they are thus hailed into the s%peeders' court.
If there is an instance on record of the failure
"a authorities to get extremely busy following a
spectacular incident of this sort, in order to cover
derelictions of duty, it is not recorded.
1t is not maintained that the police officers of
Philadelphia could have forseen the capers the
drunken banker would cut, but they should have
been able, If OH the job, to have stopped his mad
career within a half dozen blocks and thus pre-
vented the deaths that ensued. But their duty
away head of this was to have had the users of
the streets in hand so firmly that n man would
be afraid to load up on liquor and then run wild
with his automobile. The officers are the direc-
tors of traffic and the custodians of the lives of
the people, and no pains or expense is too great
on the city's part to insure security.
Anything may be expected to happen in a big

this crazy banker long before he had an oppor-

Philadelphia will have a season of tightening
up of regulations, and then-a return to the old
laxness. The horse has been stolen, but it is now
important that the lock on the stable door is in
good working order.

Mr.. Dinkus was confronted with the

A week passed. No. more was heard
az Ernestine's threatened emigration.
Then Mr.. Dlnkus' guilty mind caught

What Shall We Do With Them

AFTER long and diligent research We have
learned what happens TO the stale bread and
the meat scraps that are left from dinner. Emf
nent savants assure us that they reappear in the
form of bread-pudding and hash. This solution of
the problem is accepted, and most of us who for
age in public places avoid these otherwise attrac-
tive articles of diet with the same ayersion that
we are wont to do with the festive prune pie,
knowing full we'll that owing to our dcclination
to accept the offering in stewed form, the auto
Gratis of the kitchen pride themselves in injecting
Having settled these problems the question OF
what uses and purposes worn safety razor blades
may be put to becomes pertinent. This we confess
has US stumped. They may be resharpened once,
maybe twice, but after that, we are informed there
is no further hope. That there is q vast accumu-
lation of valuable material going to waste in the
world is not doubted; and even now there is a
select committee on the way to consult Mr.. Ford
with reference to salyaging the values therein
contained.
More troublesome, however, is it in these waste
full days to find n use for half bricks, or brick
bats, so plentifully occurring in building opera
tons. In the day of political parades in which
transparencies were carried there was n use for
celebration of st. Patrick's Day in the olden time,
but in modern times half bricks have become a
drug ON the market. They arc seldom used in the
backing up of new walls and their sole purpose so
far as we have been able to learn nowadays is to
fill up low places in vacant lots and add to the
general collection of city dumps.
If some scientific person will find useful pur-
poses for razor blades and half bricks, he will
have done a great work in the world and at the
same time rescued a lot of valuable material now
going TO waste.

Remarkable

WHAT SEEMS remarkable in a day of inability
elsewhere to enforce unpopular laws, is the
success Utah is having in compelling the observ-
ance of her antitobacco statute. Smoking in pub
lie places is forbidden in that state by law. The
law was legally passed and is ON the books for
enforcement. 1t is being done by officials at the
cost of arresting and filming the states most illus
trious citizens. The successful enforcement of an
anti-smoking law in Utah, which would be as I'M
popular there as in any other state of the union,
demonstrates that laws can be enforced whether
n minority desires or not.
And from Utah a lesson is brought homo to
every other state, and to the nation, in the matter
of prohibition of the manufacture and sale of
liquor and beer. The law can be enforced and
the curse of rum and the shame of failure can be
removed if a proper amount of determination is
put behind the effort.
We have no idea the antismoking law of Utah
is any moro popular with smokers than the prohib-
ition law is TO drinkers of hooch. That is beside the
question. 1t is the law. Support it and observe it
like good Americans or abolish it or change 1t in
the manner provided. Don't become n law breaker
simply because you don't like the law and because
it interferes with the things you want to do. That
is not honorable citizenship. It's anarchy.

Dollar Gasoline

T ,a~FoLLETTE'S committee of inquiry into the
IL oil industry prophesies that the price of gaso-
line will go to a dollar a gallon. May be and
may be not. Whether the object of issuing any
such statement is TO throw n scare into anybody,
or to impress the country with the committees
superior wisdom, or to confirm in the public mind
the well-known and often asserted LaFollette idea
that the oil industry of the country is in the hands
of men of predatory instincts and rapacious greed,
is neither here nor there.
No one believes that gasoline will ever reach any
such price. If it does the gasoline output of the
country will remain unsold and possibly unmanu-
featured. That price would be prohibitive.
And long before the day arrives, il il ever
should, most operators of mechanically driven We
hicles will have resorted TO the use of some one
or other of the several available substitutes. None
of them is likely to be quite as efficient orIquite
as convenient as gasoline, but any of them win do
for lack of better, and it is more than possible
that under the urge of insistent demand tho in
ventors will devise means for removing, if not all
the faults OF the other fuels, Mt least enough of
them to much improve their present utility.
Already not q few cars are driven by alcohol,
and 1t can be done economically in places where
there is a cheap source of alcohol supply.
Kerosene, too, can be used, even in internal COM
bustion engines constructed in accordance with
its gentler and slower nature, and as a heater for
cars propelled by steam, as a good many were in
the earlier automobile days, kerosene is n fuel
about as good as could be desired.
Then there is electricity. Its worth as a power
producer is a matter Of daily proof by many
, 1923-03-10

heavy cars and more than n few light ones. So
long as there is coal, and after that SO long as
there is water running down hill, the automobiles
will be able TO get electricity, and while at present
he will not have it except for short runs and
special uses, he would not have to stay at home
even though he could get nothing else.
Beyond and above all this, there is the American
inventive genius. Surely it has not quit {. this
stage of development. 1t is responsible for the
very article Mr.. LaFollette says is about to become
SO unreasonably expensive. VIII not American
genius supply something equally as good and con-
venient at tngorice within the reach of the common
people. SD ely it will. 1t always has.
Dollar gaaoline! Me eyei
There isd going to be any such thing. And
even if thd was. Walking is what we crave.
Don't take pa seriously anything that comes from
LaFollette.p efhe mere mention of oil brings on an
attack of l%rophObia.

GIRLS EASY MEAT
FOR L'ANSE FORDS

The L'Anse Fords had no trouble
defeating the American Athletic girls
baseball team on the local diamond
last Friday afternoon. The final score
was IL to 1, and the visitors lone tall
" should not have been allowed, ac-
cording to ground rules. Their score
was made on passed ball to the
catcher, the running coming in from
second.
The errors on the part Of the local
team members earned them great
deal of good-natured joshing. In the
first inning Bill Walters gave one of
the girls a chance on base when he
heaved the ball ten feet over first base
on chance for an easy out, and st.
George helped the thing along later
by muffing fly. Maxi also got his
for fumbling hot grounder.
The visitors team was composed Of
four men and five girls and they put
up a nice contest until the last in
ming, when the locals scored eight
runs. Up to the fourth inning one Of
the girls pitched and she was touched
for but two runs and four hits. Then
a man relieved her and he was found
for seven hits and nine runs.
