theon of the great Indeed, it is just barely pos
sble that truly educated radical is of more value
to his country than dyed-in.the-wool conscrva-
tive who happens, alas, to be blockhead.
BE that as it may, however, there is this muci.
consolation for the textile gentleman there is one
certain way to rid the country Of radicals. 1t hap
pens that there is only one. but it is sure.
Eliminate all injustice, all black poverty all soul
destroying toll and all Of the suffering that is not
grounded in the very base Of life - and you will
have radicals
For the existence Of the radical means that there
is something wrong somewhere. Often, to be
sure, there is something wrong with the radical,
well; but the very fact that there are radicals
means that part Of civilization is cut OF
gear
This is not TO say that the solution the radical
offers is always right. 1t is often wrong But at
least he has open eyes and wants to do something
to make the world a better place to live in-whch
is better than cruising through life with closed
mind, seeing and hearing nothing that is disturb
ing.
1t is the colleges task to discover the evils in
present day life and set its students the problem Of
curing them. If this makes radcals-so be it.

Editorial Comment
Roads of Our Youth
(Minet, N. D., NeWsl

Midde-aged men remember when there was a
bicycle club in nearly every enterprsing city, and
road scrapers were sent out week, to scrape
a path along one side of the dirt highways smooth
enough for cyclists to ride on in comfort-unt!l it
rained again. There were no paved roads. There
were few macadam roads.
More than $l0oo00o,ooo are being spent in
building roads through the country this year. More
will be spent next year. The automobile club, re-
placing the bicycle club, keeps plugging for that,
with shelp from motorists and the pedestrians
If there are really any such persons left.
Everybody who knows anything knows the i'm
portance of good reads now Yet there is always
a question how far to 60. Many good and intel
ligent men hesitate, again and again, to pay the
money demanded for street highway improve
ment in the belief that individuals or communities
cannot afford it,"
1t has been proved ever and over again that what
cannot be afforded is bad roads. For good roads
make transportation, and transportation makes
business and property value. Every good thor
oughfare, wisely planned and we'll built, pays for
itself many times.

Maybe We Could Play
kansas City Timcs)

The board of education CT Milwaukee wants to
teach groWnups of that city how to play. The
board is sponsoring various forms of outdoor
sports. But it would like to interest the parents
and other adults as we'll. So it plans to cncour.
age these to engage in baseball, swimming, hand
ball, horseshoe pitching, tennis and similar games.
Success to the board. Perhaps its idea is wisely
conceived Observers from other countries have
said Americans, that is, the grownups, don't know
how to play, to relax, to take things easy. It is
said are too busy making money-strange that
most of US don't have it that make wealth
getting game and q game that proceeds with ire
mend0us seriousness.
Maybe there's truth in that, too. At any rate.
Americans do know how to play, and to play in
the true spirit. The recent visit of Santa Claus
to Kansas City showed that. Here was whole
town, or at least good part Of the town, men.
women and children, all absorbed in play, playing
with Santa Claus, playing at Santa Claus them
selves-the grownups here-and every man, woman
and child Of them enjoying it. ss
No doubt what is needed is the opportunity to
play. Give US that, we say, and we'll join in the
game II the Milwaukee board has found way to
provide the opportunity let the board 60 ahead with
its plans and then tell vs. the results.
