THE SPIRIT OF THE DAY

Peace on earth and good will toward men,"
 Religion is failure The world must find some other means of bet te-ing mankind" Perhaps. But have we made sincere effort to live up to the thot of Peace and Good Will to All men? Is it the failure of the tenets of the Great Teacher that the world goes on building greater fleets, poison gases and oth- er uncivilized methods of warfare? Is it the fault of the Great Teach CT that we hold fellowman in con- tempt and show not that goodwill to all. Are we earnestly, sincerely making effort to have peace and to bring peace. Is it not the selfish ness of man that prevents the pro- per working out of the spirit of Christmas throughout the year.?
 We wear our snug go-to-meet- ing clothes, and piously fold our hands, drop a nickle in the collec- tion plate for the heathen Chinee and go home and forget thethot of l'eace and Goodwill to men.
 How much better did we live our Christmas thoughts and spirit for 365 days a year, aiding in those things which will better mankind How much better to live and let live with charity for all and malice toward none.
 The joy that is in the hearts of the kiddies is wonderful to behold. The pleasure in giving that joy is worth repeating more than just through the holidays. With the spirit, like the ruler, Pilot, we could be almost persuaded to hatreds that have been engendered bs so-called christian gentlemen. Almost, but not quite.

KEEP SCHOOLS OUT
OF POLITICS

Constructive legislation designed to place the educational institu- tons of Washington State forever beyond the reach of political in f1uence or political activities, is be- ing prepared by the Alumni As sociation of the University of Wash ington for presentation to the next session of the Washington State Legislature.
 A. R. Hilen, chairman of the legislative committee of the asso- clation announced recently that his committee had been at work up- on the proposed measure for some time, and that while it was not de- finitely decided just what form the proposed bill will take, members of the committee favor enactment of a statute which will give the gov ernor the right to bring charges of malfeasance or misfeasance in office against any regent or trustee, but no power of removal on filing of such charges.
 Elimination of political control over educational institutions is the only fit and proper course for any State government to take. The use of teachers institutes for fur thering political scheme would fall under such head; travelling around at State expense in the active poli- tical interest of political organiza- tions is inexcusable and the un- warranted use of State funds and abuse of office. Be it in Washing ton or Alaska, we are "agin such political institutions"

3s2 RAILWAY GRADE
CROSSINGS REMOVED.

Three hundred and eighty-two
railroad grade crossings have been
eliminated on the trunk highways in
Minnesota since the state took con-
troll of these roads in 1921, accord
ing to a statement from the State
Highway Commission. Of these,
258 have been eliminated by reloca-
ton of the road, 46 by building ever
head bridges and 70 by underpasses.
Thirty-seven grade crossings have
been eliminated by this years con-
struction.
Whenever a road is graded or i'm
proved, every possible effort is made
to eliminate grade crossings. Public
safety is the first consideration, but
by making a relocation, it is often
possible to remove grade crossings
and dangerous turns and at the same
time reduce the cost of construction
and shorten the distance. Where it
cannot be done by relocation, grade
separations by overhead or under
pass bridges are effected as rapidly
as possible. Nearly $50 grade cross
ings still remain on the trunk high
way system, but some of these are
protected by gates or watchmen and
many are on branch lines where traf-
fic is light. A large number are
slated for elimination within the
next two years.

A National Committee has been

Advertising" and campaign has
been begun for the adjustment OF
the unsightly and Notwithstanding
billboard from the public highways.
The committee calls attentio to the
fact that using the landscape for ad-
vertising purposes is rapidly destroy
ing one of the greatest assets of our
country-its natural beauty. Ii some
society could now be formed to re-
move the campaign placards from
the roads and other public places,
much more natural beauty wouli be-
come visible. Now that the elections
are over, why not organize a drive
among the winning candidates and
also the losing ones to remove their
cards from trees, fences and posts
everywhere-and make them pull
the tacks as there is nothing so DIS
conserving to a sawmill force as to
saw into a nail. Besides, there Is
danger of the saw flying to pieces
The electric light and telephone crew
would also hail the pulling of the
tacks and nails from posts with glee
