Editorial Comment
In Just One County
est. Paul Dispatch)

The result of a canvass of Barnes county, n D..
by the county agent shows that the farmers lost
in the crop of 1925, $1O5O00 in the sale Of their
grain, from smut. The average reduction in price
paid them was cents per bushel. This is exclusive
of the damage, which cannot be estimated, that
smut did to the growing grain, or the reduction in
yield or weight of the grain. The amount lost was
deduction from the market price that the grain
would have brought had it been without smut.
It is not to be wondered that there is sharp
renewal of interest in the subject CT treating seed
grain against smut spores. In South Dakota q
statewide campaign has been organized and liter
allure carrying instructions on methods Of treat
ment 6or the various small grains, together with
figures showing losses sustained from smut in that
state, is being broadcast It may be impossible to
make rain when it is needed, or to keep away hot
winds, OF to control the growth Of the bafberry
bush with its rust spores, but it is possible to
vent smut diseases in grain by treatment Of thu
seed and the loss in Barnes county shows that such
treatment pays cents q bushel, and more. 8

No. MOI Over. Educated!

young man in an eastern city was arrested for
robbery. The judge before whom he was arraignei
had his record looked up and discovered that the
lad had been vaedictoran in his high school class.
Accordingly, the Judge remarked that perhaps he
had been over-cducated."
This is the sort of thing that said about
Leopold and Loeb in the Franks murder 1t is
about unrcasoning, senseless remark as could
possibly be made.
The idea that a person could be educated to a
point where it would be bad for him is one that
could hardly be entertained by anyone who had had
n very great degree of education himself.
1t is hardly too much to say that the fate Ct the
nation, and the entire world, hinges in large part
on the question of whether we will be able to ac-
quire enough cducaton-mental training--to
able us to live in harmony with the marvellous
world that the scientists are creating for US.
The chief of the worlds troubles do not come be-
cause Of deep-seated wckcdness inbred evil.
They come because so many people do not know
how to think.
And an education, at bottom is nothing more
less than training that shows one how to think
how to his mental powers. how to reason things
out how to figure out problems for himself instead
Of accepting blindy the word of someone no wiser
than himself
The ability to think clearly, or even scmi-clcarly
is not of course, the only thing need But it is
something that can't possibly get along with.
out. And we may attain it only by giving our
young people all the education possibly can.
The remark that "too much education" can cause
crime is just about at the apex Of all the silly things
that have been said in recent years. And that syon
must admit, is saying something

The Kings Purse

Kings and queens are human beings after ALL
The king and queen of England were at fair the
other day. Salvation Army girl came up to solicit
penny for her tambourinc. The king felt for his
purse, turned red, whispered the queen who turned
red also. Royalty had come off without cent!
The king and queen had to borrow money from their
escort to make the contributions
Now if the king will only forget to pay it back
shall know he's just like the rest Of u.s.

All Wrong

A speaker before sportsmens dinner at New
York the other night remarked that IF every man,
woman and child in the country had a sport hobby
there would be need for any police forces any
where" That statement was about far wrong
as short statement like that could be, and it's
quoted only because it's characteristic of much
of the balmy thinking that goes nowadays.
SHpcrts are fine things for those who indulge in
them, but they don't exactly broaden the mind re-
mose prejudces and enable people to think for
themselves. And those are the things need be.
.-feFe we can talk Of abolishing police forces. ~

Red Tape

Congress is being asked to clear the record of a
California man who has been listed since 1863 as
a deserter from the navy.
On shore leave, it seems, he shanghaed on
merchant vessel and carried about the Pacific for
eight months. When he finally returned home he
was listed by the navy deserter, and he hasn't
yet been able to get the record changed. So now
his congressman has to put bill through Congress
that the navy's records will not do the man an
injustice.
That sort of thing explains why the average citi-
zen is distrustfu of the efficiency and business
like methods of our gold-braded admirals.. When
institution is so wound round with red tape that
it can't change small error in minor record in
half century, there is something wrong with it.

Honest Pride

Miss Marion Talley scores great personal tri-
umph in her debut at the Metropolitan Opera House
New York. But the pride is not all hers.
Kansas City has right to- be sweed up lit

get her musical training because her fellow citi.
