A FINE TOURIST PARK

On a recent visit in Wisconsin
the editor and his family spent a
Sunday at the beautiful and ma
tural Irvine park adjoining the
city Of Chippewa Falls. The park
contains 300 acres. is located on
the banks Of the Chippewa river
with its natural scenic beauty,
has play grounds for the chill
dren, parking grounds for thou
sands of automobiles, zoo and a
beautiful band stand where con-
certs are given regularly. In ad-
dition to this the Commercial
club of the city has erected a
modern tourist kitchen with run
ming water, gas and other conven-
fences for the free use of the
travelling public. The park is
the gift of a man whose one con-
dition was that nothing be sold
on the grounds everything To be
free so that all-rich and poor
alike--might enjoy recreation
out close TO nature.
Is is a wonderful place to visit
and one that but few cities the

II is something like the story
Of the Quaker who sold a horse
and said: He does not look well

horse was blind when it ran

nantly he returned to the Quaker
and said the horse was blind. The
Quaker replied: did ! not say
he does not look WELL
1t has been said that anything
is fair in a horse deal and some
politicians seem to work on the
same theory. Seek the truth and

NOT so BAD As PICTURED

Fred ID. Sherman Of the st.
Paul Herald writes Of the youth
full Chicago murderers as follows:
The expected happened this
week when the neeks Of Leopold
and Loeb were saved by the Hi
nois courts. Here is the differ
ence: These two youths, born
and reared in luxury commit
murder. They commit not only
the crime Of cold blooded murder
but before putting the victim to
death they commit unprintable
outrages to the boys person, but
are given a life sentence. A poor
unfortunate wretch, perhaps
crazed with drugs and liquor, for
robbery or an imagined wrong,
commits the crime Of murder,
fIis trial is short. justice is swift
and sure and in a few weeks he
bangles from the end of a rope.
SO our courts continue to dole
out Justice"
Now Fred, what is the use Of
lightly shooting that kind Of
stuff. There are altogether too
many of us who are ready TO be-
lieve that I'VE are always getting
the worst of IT," The article
above sounds like the courts have
no mercy on the poor. AS a mat
ter Of fact court records in Illi-
nois show that oaiy two under
the ago Of 2i have had TO suffer
the penalty Of the gallows or the
electric chair. Judge Caverly did
not want 10 add TO that list. 1t
would seem that the Judge chose
wisely when he decided on life
imprisonment, Society is now
protected from those pampered
and spoiled youths OF Is and 10.
Because they did not know any
better than to commit murder is
not saying that the state should
Askov American., 1924-09-18

do likewise. Fortunately the
state is wiser than the youths.
You hear the comment that the
Judge does not have to worry
about his bread and butter for
the rest Of his life-that he was
given anything he chose to ask
for and that kind Of chatter.
Such things have likely occur
red, but how long would our gov
ernment last if it occurred right
and left? Most Of such remarks
are made without thought and
likely some Of them by people
who would like to have a posi-
tion of power where a bribe
could be commanded. But re-
member there is no character

LET'S MAKE THIS THE YEAR
OF THE BIG VOTE

We Americans believe in ma
jority rule. We're not practicing
it.
Our forefathers placed in our
hands a mighty weapon to make
majority rule effective. We're
not using it.
That weapon is the ballot.
What are we doing with it?
In each national election since
1896 the proportion of voters has
dwindled. In 1896, 80 per cent
of those qualified to vote did
vote; in 1900, 70 per cent; in 1908.
66 per cent; in 1912, 81 per cent;
in 1920, less than so per cent.
Four years ago 54,42l 1872 Ameri-
cans could have voted. but only
26.7S6,753 did so.
Such is the descending curve of
American democracy. Unscrupu-

Either statement can be made

TO CHOOSE WISELY
Duluth Herald)


Clarence Darrow in his clever
appeal for the two young Chicago
murderers made a serious indict-
ment of our educational system
which gives to young plastic
minds the pagan PHILOSOPHERS of
all time"
1t is to be hoped that many
American parents read his state
ment and will profit by the les
son this criminal case teaches
when they come to choose col
lege or preparatory school for
their children.
1t would doubtless surprise and
horrify many parents if they
knew some of the things that are
being taught in the classrooms of
many colleges and universities.
Under certain courses in mod
ern psychology young minds, as
yet unable to separate the chaff
from the wheat that goes into
their mental storehouse, are be-
ing taught a philosophy of life
that tends to break down all the
inhibitions and restraints that
their home training has develop
ed and to laugh to scorn the re-
ligious standards that were the
foundation of character building
in an earlier generation.
Varied courses of study, elabor-
ate laboratories, imposing build
ings and noted names on the ia
Guilty list are apt to impress us all,
and too seldom a parent stops to
investigate the atmosphere" of
a school or the ideals it fosters.
Great care IS usually taken to
see that it can supply bodily COM
fort, or even Injuries, for John or
Mary, and that it will fit them for
a profession or guarantee them a
job.
And after all the real work Of
the school is fitting them for life.
A certain old English school
used to state its purpose as fol-
lows:
The bringing up OF children in
their adolescence and to occupy
them In good learning and good
manners from and out Of idleness,
that they may better know. love.

Leaving out the dread, this
quaint statement of educational
purpose might well be copied by
the schools of today.

tween It and comedy proper Is one OF
degree and not of kind. The aim OF
both is to excite mirth, but while the
comedy does so by comparatively faith
ful adherence to nature and truth, the
farce assumes a much greater license
and may make use Of any eNtrava-
gance or improbsbility that may serve
fts purpoees
