SHOULD BE STRAIGHTEEED
OUT

Mayor McLean's decision to
straightcn out the discrepancies arls-
ing between the methods of book
keeping in use by the city and those
OF the school board is one which
should meet with approval.
No one appears to question ac-
curacy of accounting but many do
question the methods and there are
some who think legal question may
be found to be involved respecting
just what the city should credit to
the school board.
Whatever may he the cause Il
should be definitely located and 4
remedy found. 1t ought to he posi-
bic for the auditor to find the ac-
counts kept by the city and those
kept by the school board in accord
at all times. Where the financial
years of the city and the board
respectively, end at different times OF
year, the books will not of course be
found alike but there should be nc
difficulty for the auditor to deter
7 mine the exact financial condition O
| the school board.

IDLE VESSEL TONNAGE

It is quite generally assumed that
the Senate will refuse to vote on the
ship subsidy, the only proposition
that has been advanced for lessening
the idle tongue of this country and
for taking merchant marine out of
the hands of expensive government
management.
Other countries are making an eff
fort to lessen the idle tonnage. Re-
ports to the department of commerce
show that the last six months of last
year the idle steam tonnage of the
world declined approximately three
quarters Of a million gross tons, and
on January l stood at nine million
tons. During the whole year the de-
cline of idle tonnage was around two
million tons.
While this change was going on
with respect to other countries the
| idle fleet of the United States Ship
ping Board increased by 100000 tons
with nearly 10000 tons more OF
privately owned American vessels
also out of employment.
One feels impelled to inquire
without expecting or needing an an
swer-why the honorable Senate
didn't tack the river and harbor pork
onto the ship subsidy bill.

Britain Will Protect
Her Trawlers in Arctic

London, Jan. 26-(MaiD-The
british trawler Magnolia, out of Hull,
went fishing over year ago in
company with other vessels off the
Thurman coast. 600 miles north of
fetrograd in the Arctic Ocean. She
carried crew of II men Early on
inc morning Of December 81, 1922.
when nine miles off shore. she was
arrested by a Russian patrol vessel

keeping to the open sea. rode out the
storm successfully. The British pro-
tests have been in vain. and the
soviet government has refused any
guarantee that the incident would
not be repeated, or to>assume re-
sponslhility for it. The claim pre-
scented to Russia amounts to SIPS
eoo. The unfortunate widows and
families of the English fishermen
VINO were drowned are reduced to
charity.
Russia replies that only Russian
vessels may fish within IL miles of
the coast. This claim is contrary to
the general usage of the seas. and
england refuses to recognize it.
The Soviet Governments argument
involves the closing of some three
thousand miles of fishing grounds
which are rarely fished by Russian
vessels. and used only by Norwegian
and English vessels.
Now the British government has
sent an armed ship to the Thurman
coast to protect British trawlers.
TO reach this part of the Arctic
ocean the route is roughly 400 miles
north from England. then around
eno Norm Cape to the eastward. and
3oo miles down to the fishing
grounds.

TRYING TO 6ECLOUD THE
ISSUE

The American Issue sees a concert
ed effort on the part of the wet" in
terests to discredit prohibition and
hold it up to ridicule, hoping thereby
to exert an influence on the new Con-
gress.
The Issue is correct in declaring eff
forts to becloud the issue an old trick
of the booze boosters. 1t often has
been resorted to. 1t is not deceiving
Pinchot OF Pennsylvania, who is
bending his efforts to make that state
one of the driest on the map. Re-
earding the statement of DIR. Nicho-
las Murray Butler that the eighteenth
| amendment can never be enforced
| Governor Pinchot is reported as say
ing: "What l think of DR.. Buffers
statement would not be fit to print
Finding the public is getting wise"
to the fact that wines and beers,
aside from being contrary to the con-
stitutional law would serve to retain
the saloons and afford distributing
! centers of moonshine, not so much
is being said about them, but the talk
now is that the amendment is fail
ure and soon will be ignored. Mean
while Governor Pinchot has the state
police busily engaged in Selling wet
goods wherever they find them, pa
trolling the highways and Selling
truck loads of beer and other kinds of
booze in all parts of the state.
Perhaps the national officers will
take heart, or a cue. from this dem
onstration that the officers of state
or community can be very helpful in
the matter of enforcing the Volstead
law. The "drys" should see to il
that this feature is not lost on the
public mind.

Wants Homemaking
Taught In Schools

Chicago. H.. Feb. 12.-(By a. P)-
When the bride and groom. who are
the home making world, have acquired
the master mind which is necessary
to unite their past education with the
demands of the simple home life, the
nation will need no other plan OF
Americanization, Mrs. r. Ecrnotte
Morse, founder OF the Homemakcrs
Guild, told the Chicago Women S
clubs here today.
Every specialized profession is
taken care of except that of the home
as a whole" Mrs. Morse said. 1T is
no wonder these brides and Crooms
eventually have brain flag and nerv-
Gus pros,ration. How can they be
expected to unite and put into prac-
tice in the home. the education which
has fitted them only for business
life
What these mnn and women need
is a thorough training III the princi-
pies Of professional home life, in
Guiding all of the arts and sciences
that are needed therein. There are
more would-be home makers than
anything else.
when tho schools have learned
that home making is based on the
very first principles of psychology
art and sciences, they will doubtless
unite the home activities into profess
sional courses. When that time
comes children will be normally en-
dowed with the right impressions of
life from the hour Of birth. When
that time comes the human family
will not be permitted to so to waste.
Reformcrs and juvenile courts will be
out Of a job. for humanity will then
have an opportunity to give Of its
best to the world.
THE technical training of the pub
lie schools and universities in domes-
tic science. ysics. psychology. ply
siology. art. science. music. and other
kindred subjects which help mankind
to live, is well nigh perfect but it is
directed almost wholly towards the
business world. Every specialized
profession is taken care Of except
that Of the home as a whole"

Our amiable and distinguished fell
low citizen William Gibbs McAdoo
has returned from an extended So
jcurn in the East. While away he
visited his still more eminent and
distinguished father-in law and was
also reported as having had confer
ence WITH William Jennings Bryan.
Yet We have the smiling assurance
Of Mr.. McAdoo that he talked no
word of politics While away-that he
was, in fact, too far engaged with
other matters to indulge. On the
other hand, there have come press
stories from Washington to the effect
that the conference with Bryan had
to do with the possible construction
of the next Democratic platform and
from New Orleans that Mr.. McAdoo
would be glad to receive the presi-
dental nomination Of his party.
There is a suspicion that perhaps
Brother McAdoo talks politics with

THE VOTE FOR RIVERS AND
HARRORS

There has been much criticism OF
the present Congress. Those who
have realized the task set before II
have been more charitably dispOsd,
have found real constructive work
with which to credit it. But it must
be admitted their confidence has not
been strengthened by its attitude
toward the river and harbor appro-
priations.
1t is not supposable that the budget
committee and President Harding
l.ncw nothing of the actual needs of
river and harbor improvement. o.
that the House mmittee on appro
priations ignored pressing needs, yet
the former fixed the amount at
twenty seven millions and the
House committees estimate was in
creased by eighteen and half mil
lions, the House voting $56,5s9,9lo.
Perhaps the House and Senate antici-
pated reconsideration of restrictions
on the funding commission and
thought to pave the way for spend
ing some of the money England is to
pay us on the loan.
The Senate has now accepted the
House appropriation, rejecting the
Lenroot amendment to fix the amount
at s42,O00,00O. Senator Underwood
made a motion to table all amend
ments which sought to reduce the
total of fifty-six millions, this being
ihe test vote. There We're 20 Re-
publicans and o6 Democrats who
voted for this. virtually for the fifty
six million expenditure, and 30 Re-
publicans and 6 Democrats against.

ing consumed faster than it grows.

Adding to this the production this
