Living Up to Our Regulations.

Commenting on Count Keyserling's
statement that America is ruled by
women, Chester Rowell, writing in the
San Francisco Chronicle, insists that
the real reason why America is ruled
by women-if it be true-is because
the women care rapidly coming to
know more than the men. mo matter
how many more votes ignorance may
have" says Mr.. Rowell, 1T remains
true in all lands that knowledge is
power, and the women in America are
getting a monopoly of knowledge. You
will find ten women to one man in
San Francisco who know what Secre-
tary Kellogg's recent note to France
is about. When next November's
ballot is cluttered with propositions,
half the men will have to ask their
wives how to vote"
Whether or not Mr.. Rowells' COM
plimentary analysis is correct, GER
tainly there is a need for higher
grade of intelligence on civic ques-
tions among the women as well as
the men. AS the editor of a religious
paper has aptly said, anent the "get
out the vote" campaign, "Some of
the women are looking deeper and are
worrying over country that has only
Is per cent mind to express at the
polls" One may be university grad
uate, and claim many scholastic de-
grees and yet have no more than a
Is per cent civic mind to express at
the polls.
One of the perpetual detectives of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union should be to have its member
ship possess a high grade of intelli-
gence on citizenship matters, in order
that it may pass on this information
to others. A regular feature of every
local union program-never to be
omitted-should be a discussion, I'M
der an able leader, of questions that
relate to the science of our govern
ment, the procedure for nominating
and electing officials, the character of
candidates, the meaning of measures
relating to good government before
Congress. This election year, when
every white ribboner ought to be an
information bureau on civic matters,
local unions should exert themselves
to popularize the citizenship hour at
their meetings, and invite non-mem-
bers to participate.

DANGEROUS INDIFFERENCE

newspaper writer names indif-
ference as the outstanding threat to
the stability of our government. 1t
permits the white lying and techni-
cal innocence which are too often SUBJ
stituted in place of thorough honesty
and fundamental right-doing. 1t ham,
pers the process of justice-as in the
oil trials and makes it possible for
big boys to be tricky without losing
caste.''
A political old-timer who had con-
siderable power 20 years ago tells an
interviewer:
81 think men kept their word bet
ter in the old days than they do to-
day. People have got so they don't
put any stress on their word. To-
day they promise most anything, and
keep as little of it as they can. To-
day the younger element shrugs its
shoulders and says, What's the diff
ferencev"
If both these criticisms are justi-
fed, the situation is truly serious.
Yet one of the things often said in
favor of modern youth, by people
who should know, is that, whatever
their faults, they are honest and
courageous. Perhaps their seeming
Indifference is not fundamental, but
has been the result of wrong charac-
ter-training by elders. The young
sters have thrown overheard good
many shams and hypocrisies that
used to infest this old world. In
time, perhaps they will throw out
this deadening Indifference, too.-Be-
midi Sentinel.

A MORAL QUESTION

The explosion of poison gas in the
phosgene tanks at Hamburg may
prove to be not altogether unmitigated
disaster if it calls the attention of
civilized nations to the horrors associ-
ated with such chemicals. Whether
the League of Nations, which is now
responsible for seeing that the disarm-
ament clauses of the Treaty of Yer
sailles are carried out as far as Ger
many is concerned, will institute an
inquiry into the incident, remains to
be seen. The League has apparently
the right to do so, if it has any reason
to suppose that. the phosgene stored
at Hamburg was in excess of the linn
tied amount which Germany is per-
mitted for manufacturing purposes.
But the general disposition is to wait
to see what the new German govern
ment will do, for it is recognized that
if there has been an infringement of
the law passed last year regulating
the possession of gas by German firms
it would be better for the Germans
themselves to deal with the matter.
But although Germany might be de-
prived of her phosgene gas, she will
still have the potential means of man.
ufacturing gas for military purposes
in her dye and chemical factories,
which, in so far as they are used for
industrial purposes, cannot be sup
pressed. Indeed, all the great mill
tary and naval powers, including the
United States, are working on the de-
velopment of new chemical weapons,

DANGER ON HIGHWAYS

The Eveleth Clarion recently sound
ed an alarm that in nutshell eX-
presses the sentiment of the Askov
American, with very little additional
comment necessary.
The Clarion, in an editorial pre-
sumably by Grove Wills, one of the
publishers of that paper, said:
People who have occasion to
travel on Highway No. 1 from Duluth
to Minneapolis, have no doubt come in
contact with the train that is plying
regularly on this road. Three i'm
mense trailers, capable of holding
nine automobiles, drawn by a truck,
are hauling these cars from Duluth
to the Twin Cities, after they have
been unloaded at the docks at the head
of the lakes. 1t seems impossible for
the driver of this j., caravan to keep
the trailers altogether on half of the
road. The rear end of the chain of
trailers swings dangerously over the
black line continuously. Then, if
you attempt to pass the string, you
have to be exceedingly careful, for
you are very apt to encounter another
car coming in the opposite direction
that you did not count on or could
not see.
Surely some one should pay a real
price or penalty for commercializing
the state highways in this manner,
and at the same time something
should be done 10 eliminate the pres
ent dangerous angles of such prac-
tice."
Someone does pay real price or
penalty for concentrating the state
highways in this manner" but it
doesn't happen to be the right some
one" The public is the goat, but
still those sponsoring the elaborate

HUMORISTS-AND TRUTH

There is no gainsaying the fact
that many truth is spoken in jok-
ing manner and one of the worlds
best known humorists-Will Rogers
has faculty of doing that very thing
with almost uncanny consistency.
Speaking of the most recent Repub-
lcan National convention, Will, who
was looking on from the seats re-
served for the press, said:,
Young Bob LaFollette made the
only real speech that has been made
in the convention. He spoke in favor
of the people. He was listened to but
his amendments were not adopted.
They kept in the Wall Street ones"
How much truth there is in that
"They kept in the Wall Street ones!"
Whenever any man speaks in favor
-of the people, right then and there
Ia. De is condemned-labeled as fred" or
a radical" or something equally as
severe"
Just let one of those leather-lunged
reactionary orators get up in public,
though, and rave and rant about moth
ing, wave the American flag a few
whirls, quote from Lincoln and JEFF
ferson, tell that bedtime story about
how the country will go to the dogs
if we don't keep the big interest pol
iticians in office, and right away
there's a childlike hand-clapping and
stamping of feet that is most nauseat-
ing.
HE was listened to but his amend
ments were not adopted" said Rogers.
LaFollette Jared better than most
men do, who really have the interests
of all at heart. Some can't even get
an audience. Some day, though, the
dear people" will rub their eyes,
snap out of it, and vote like they
should; not like the politicians want
them to.

SMALL TOWNS AND AIRPLANES

With the advent of the airplane, a
great many of the smaller commune
ties have taken advantage of the op-
portunity to advertise themselves in
a very favorable and commendable
manner.
For example, Milaca's village coun-
Gil recently voted to have the name
of the town painted on the water
tower, and to have an electric sign
installed as an aid to airplane pilots
That action is noteworthy and those
who were responsible for it, obviously
are livewires.
Other towns, of course, have taken
similar action, but it nevertheless fol-
lows, that Milaca has definitely placed
itself in the front ranks of the up and
coming villages of Minnesota.
1t is an example that many another
village could we'll follow.

system of paved highways have the
nerve to ask us to vote more bonds,
and more bonds. What for? Simply
to furnish good roads for trucking com.
panies to haul produce over.
1t is anything but pleasure to
drive over Highway No. 1 under pres
ent conditions, and it does seem toe
bad that the taxpayers must be forced
to furnish a roadbed for commercial
institutions to run their trains" over
There is little wonder that railroads
are taking many trains off their runs
when they are forced to meet such
unfair competition.

Safety on the Highway

Pennsylvania has the right idea.
Under the state law all drivers OF
automotive vehicles must have driv-
ers' licenses, and for certain viola
lions of traffic rules and regulations
these licenses may be revoked.
Last week IS motorists lost their
licenses to drive in Pennsylvania be-
cause of serious violations of the
state motor code. This indicates an
energetic and rigid enforcement of
the provisions to safeguard automo-
bile travel and human life.
A majority of the drivers whose
licenses were Cancelled, according to
the news, were guilty of driving
while intoxicated, or of causing in
Jury to others as a result of careless
ness and reckless driving.
Pennsylvania has set an example
that may be followed with profit by
all states. All responsible motorists
as well as pedestrians, will be in &C.
cord with such law and its rigid en-
forcement.
AS summer advances and the tour.
lists become more numerous on the
road, congestion on the highway will
increase and greater care will be
necessary in order to avert accident
Certainly every effort should be
made to keep drunken or recklessly
Indifferent drivers off the roads, and
canceling their licenses and Forbid.
ing them to. drive a car is the most
thorough way to do it. Such law
would have a salutary effect on the
conduct Of drivers and would go fal
to make our highways safe for those
who use them in safe and legitim,
ate manner.-Duluth News Tribune
