A NATION HoNORs IT'S BRAVE

On the continent of Europe, this long was a special day for
celebration, before the Armistice was signed. For by coincidence
II is the church feast of st. Martin, the soldier saint, patron of
infantry. 1t is, to French and Italians especially, a most sym-
bollc happen so that the two, Armistice Day and st. Martins
Day, should fall upon the same date, and it has occasioned a
great deal of specializing among the mystics.
Certainly the linking of the two give a snugpestion of the
days of the Crusaders. And there never was a crusade with a
more holy and self-forgetting object than that in which our
own boys of all f aiths joined when they journeyed into foreign
lands to stamp out the war beast.
They fought for mankind against the menace for civiEza-
ton against chaos.
lis anniversary brings back to some the pang of the loss.
They are upborne by the realization that their boys who laid
down their lives where now spring poppy fields did so with an
exalted smile upon their lips. And yet-how could they not
remember those same lads, in childhood, in youth, marching
with braveness to the railroad station and the docks? And then
there came a day when the terse message from the war depart
ment seemed to shut the sunlight out. A hero was dead for
his country.
This Arnistice Day, parents and relatives of the country's
dead soldiers, the nation honors you with them. Your bravery
in sustaining your tremendous loss has been next to that of
those who have gone.

THE SPREAD IN SCHOOL INFLUENCE

In estimating the efficiency of our schools should the en-
phasis be placed on scholarship or acknowledgement or char
acter-or both?
In the life of the individual, even as in the life of the ma
ton, the activities of today are conducted in the light of their
influence on the affairs of tomorrow. So it is with education
its prime business is the development of the Individual to build
the nations future. "one's way of looking at things does not
depend upon the size OF the town he lives in but in the size of
his mind" With education there need be no main Street"
Our educational system works in many directions. 1t en-
iarges the earning value of the child to its parent and to the
nation. 1t brings an Americanzing influence to bear on the lives
OF our foreigners. 1t steps forth to rehabiitate the delinquent
child, to restore the falterng physically. 1t develops research
students, trains teachers and makes possible the professions.
These are all essential in our scheme of things. However,
education is especially concerned with the many. They hold
the power of balance at the ballot. 1t is important, therefore,
that they have an interest in and an understanding of public
issues. 1t is to them we look for establishing a wholesome So
cal morale. 1t is important, then, that they be educated in an
atmosphere of faith and hope. 1t is important that they be
educated to relish their work, and with a proper balance between
work, worship and play, they may enjoy toll and utilize the in
creasing leisure allotted them without being bored or tempted to
dissipation.
It is a misconception to conclude that educatino a nerson
IS reducing his efficiency to toll. His capacity to work should
be none the less because he has been schooled
Mind helps muscle. A young college man who dug bitches
during his vacations, to gain health and wealth for the next
school year, recalls the Italian workman who would hum snatches
of opera while he labored; an Irishman who would discuss po-
htical issues while he picked; an American who would analyze
economic conditions while he worked. None of these men were
less efficient with pick and shovel because in a degree entelec-
tualy developed. Yet their lives were richer, their resources
greater. 1t would be unfortunate were it necessary to conserve
Ignorance in order to furnish an adequate labor supply.
The welfare OF this country centers around the training of
many. 1t depends upon a high social morale, an increasing
number of mentally alert producers 1t requires a citizenry with
intelligence to value and enjoy social contacts, with sufficient
educational foundation to admit of self Development, equipped
to improve its leisure and imbued with sufficient craftsmanship
to play the game. This is a contribution education makes; a
contribution with intelligence, not. ignorance, as the foundation.
Education should make more palatable the humber tasks
in life.

Cummins Manager Hits Tactics of
Senate Insurgents.

DIES MONIES. Iowa. June 5 P).-
George w. Clarke, campaign man
ager for Senator Albert Il. Cummins,
tonight issued a statement declaring
Iowa preferred tot clean her own
house" when informed that a group
of Senators in Washington had made
public Il statement CriticiZing the Sen
ate for the unseating of Col. Smith
W. Brookhart. Cummins' opponent in
the primary Monday for the Repub
lican senatorial nomination.
Iowa Republicans are not to be
moved to tears nor, in fact, much
stirred over the interference in the
Iowa primary of this little group of
arrogant and meddling insurgents.
The statement that the Senate in un
seating Brookhart did so in defiance
of the will of the people of Iowa is
ridiculous on its face. At the No
vember. 1924, election 800. 900 Repub-
licans IN Iowa went to the polls and
deliberately voted for the Democratic
candidate in preference to Brookhar
This was the voice of Iowa. 1t was
these Republican voters of Iowa that
unSeated Brookhart--not the Senate.
All the Senate did was TO count the
votes.
Iowa Republicans also know that
Senator Cummins has been and now
is their greatest champion in the bat
tie for farm relief legislation. The
eyes of the Nation are on the cause
of agriculture. The battle is on and
must be fought out-Cummins with
his commanding ability. extensive eX-
perience and great prestige will carry
that fight to its conclusion. Iowa re-
publicans are no longer to be deceived
either by Brookhart's demaSoguery
or by the meddling of this little group
of already repudiated Senators from
outside States.
Iowa is able and much prefers to
wash her own linen and clean her own
house,

Three months ago, on March s, the
United States Senate asked Secretary
Kellogg for precise information about
the violation of American rights In
Mexico. In response. Mr.. Kellogg on
April 10 submitted to the Senate the
voluminous correspondence exchanged
with Mexico regarding the two laws
regulating section l of article 81 of
the Mexican constitution. These are
the laws that make it possible for
Mexico. retroactively, to dispossess
and conflscate agrarian lands and
petroleum properties held by foreign
ers prior to the 1917 constitution. Mr..
Kellogg showed the Senate that he
has necessarily demanded from Mex
leo assurances that the Mexican alien

its face, abrogate well established
American property rights. The State
Department continues to ask these
assurances. 1t continues not to ge;

1t is known to this writer that one
of the most powerful American oil
groups, which was a pioneer in the
Mexican petroleum fields, is so thor.
oughly discontented with the outlook
that 1t is pulling up stakes and trans.
ferring it's activities to Colombia
Other American oil interests-like the
Dohenys-seem disposed to fight it
out in Mexico and take chances. But
the other group, above referred to-
looks upon the situation as hopeless
and destined to end in disaster and
ruin for any foreign interests that
care any longer to adventure in
Mexico.
Parleys Still Go On.
The flight of capital out of Mexico,
along the lines of the American oil
interests now deserting the country,
is accompanied. as it has been for q
long time, by the flight of better class
Mexicans of the old DiaZ stock and
fiber. 1t has been estimated that
more than a million of such persons
are now voluntary exlies in foreign
countries, many of them in our South
western border States. They have
fed. like the Russian "emigrees" have
fed, to bide their time abroad. wait
ing and hoping for the return of a
regime that will put the Mexica n
house in order on lines comma nding
foreign respect and confidence.
Officially, the United States con-
tinues to parley with Mexico on terms
of diplomatic amity. Unofficially, the
correspondence is tagging and drag
