human beings.
Armistice day yearly finds the
ranks of those who participated
under the American flag somewhat
thinned. MANY of those who went
overseas died in Europe, many more
succumbed to wounds and disease
after the return. Each year some
more pass away. Their memories
are revered today. and as the roll
OF honor mounts the diminishing re-
ma!nder of those who fought and
those who stood ready to fight will
join in the ceremonies of observance
with increasing devotion. And those
who were not privileged to partici-
pate, who We're compelled to remain
On this side Of the sea, doing the
prosaic work of administration or

ardent in the tribute paid to the
heroes who Tell.
At Arlington rest the remains of
one who is nameless, over whose
unidentified body have been laid the
tributes of monarchs and civilians,
OF Americans of all pursuits in life
and of distinguished representatives
OF other nations. That simple mau-

A Just Punishment.

Philadelphia does not hesitate il
dealing with hit-andrun drivers. Or
October IS, John Nelson. q motor cycle
policeman, decided to take his car on;
for spin. He was off duty and felt
the need Of little relaxation. Soor
afterward he was behind the bars
charged with being the driver Of ar
automobile which had run down ant
killed a pedestrian and injured two
other walkers. Yesterday he was given
six to twelve years in the penitentar,
and the policeman -motorist hit-and
runner is now where he can do III
more harm for a long time.
That Is exactly the treatment that
should be meted out to every driver
who kills and fees. No State. no city
no town, no village should tolerate
for an instant this murdcrous type o1
driving. These men---or women too
for that matter-should be put away
In the countrys jails so that they car
null over their offenses with the ut.
most leisure. There is no place for
them on the streets in these days OF
congested traffic and even when they
finish their stretch" they should be
barred forever from the operation o!
an automobile.

WHAT DC. GOVERNMENT NEEDS
BY WILL p. KENNEDY
No. 3-Joint Committee to Consider Budgets

There are thoughtful leaders IN
Congress who look with favor on the
proposed organization Of joint com
n1ittee on District legislation, as a
logical forerunner Of some general
method of preparing bills in advance
OF the sessions of Congress concerning
matters Of major Importance, which
admittedly must be dealt with--this
work being handled by joint commit
tees of the Senate and House. The
Legislatures of Massachusetts and
other States have very successfully
substituted the joint committee plan
for the mora usual procedure of hav-
ing a standing committee in each
house, each In control of the same
class of legislation.
They emphasize that while this
would not be the English system OF
the cabinet submitting most of the
bills, which are acted upon by parIia-
ment. ii would express the spirit and
achieve the same results as the Eng
lish system by speeding legislation
and making for shorter sessions.
Those who have given disinterested
but sympathetic study to this sug.
gestion--men and women who are
not now what might be termed Dis
triCt advocates. but who have done
special research work and study for
the Government which have given
them inside knowledge regarding the
municipal administration and it's rela-
uons to the parent government
heartily support this change.
* X x
They advise that the Joint commit.
tee of House and Senate should sit
as the common council Of city on i'm
prOvements and expenditures for the
District Of Columbia, and authorize
the District Commissioners to go
ahead with their budget or program
Of legislation. under general policy
approved by Congress.
1t is certain that such a joint com.
mirtee system would relieve Congress
from much detailed work on minor
matters that never should be given
such inordinate discussion, that the
legislation for the District would be
tremendously expedited and the time
of both members OF Congress and
District officials would be saved--all
Of which point co economy and eff.
cheney. without any loss of control by

Armistice Day.

Eight years ago the world deliri-
ously celebrated cessation Of hos
tilities. The relief after four years Of
constant struggle was enormous. But
after the period of immediate re-
joicing the world found that Its
wounds were still to heal. A task
lay before the individual nations as
severe In it's way as the mainte-
nance Of the great conflict under
arms. None escaped entirely. In the
United States deiation following the
war laid It's devastating hand on in
dustry and agriculture. In Europe
lay the actual battlefields. There was
the prime need.
The people of America may look
back over the last eight years with
the knowledge that they and their
Government have been Of great ma
terial aid to the nations of Europe in
their struggle for survival and re-
generation in the postwar period.
More, America has by counsel and
moral support helped to bring about
Il better understanding, a more ear
nest desire for permanent peace
among the nations Of the world.
America took the lead In the first
great conference OF limitation OF
ornaments. The peoples Of the world
thrilled with hope when the message
Of the Washington conference spec

nation dedicated to peace. finds the

unding of the war debts. France is

the whole structure is not to fan be
cause Of its own weight. Today Is
rightly dedicated to the memory OF
the men who fought TO bring about an
honorable and enduring peace, who
made the supreme sacrifice, and in
whom America will always glory.
But the sacrifices to duty and to coun-
try which lie before the men who
must guide America in the paths of
peace are no slight thing. The call
to duty In peace is imperative and as
important to answer as the call in
war. The conflicts of peace lack the
glamour Of battle. But they take their
toll in lives and sweat and labor The
men who answered the call TO the
colors in 1917 and 1918 and who re.
turned today are on the firing line
again in the unceasing upward strug.
gie of the Nation.

From the Omaha World Herald.
With relentless vigor the barnyard
eugenists continue to pursue the
scrub bull. The Department of Agri.
culture is after him. The State col.
ieges Of agriculture are after him.
pairy promotion societies are after
him. Live stock associations are after
him. The county agent Is after him.
He apparently hasn't a friend on earth
except the dirt farmer. who harbors
him under the impression that a bull
IS a bull regardless of ancestry or the
one who suffers him to exist because
he can't afford to replace the lowly
scrub with high priced aristocrat Of
the pasture who can trace his ances.
try back to the Norman invasion.
We hold no brief for the scrub bull
The bulls job on the farm is to make
money for the farmer. If his
daughters produce large quantities. of
rich creamy milk. his is the credit.
