SMALLER CALIBRE GUNS

Great Britain, in it's proposals at the Geneva conference toward 2 further limitation of capital ships, suggests that the bore of the big guns be reduced. The suggestion is that there be no more 16 inch and larger calibred cannon, and names bore of 131a inches as about right" When one thinks back to the big Bertha of the Ger mans in World War days and real izes that a ten inch gun flung shells 75 miles into Paris, one fails to understand where the peace meth ods of Geneva come in. Apparently a ten inch cannon is as deadly az one of 13 inches.

frustrated while he was overseas in the World War seance. Ostensibly handling the food problem in Bel gium, he was reaching into the then land of the Czar negotiating for oil on a personal basis.
 That he wasn't successful was because the Council of Workmen and Soldiers of Russia muddled tha Czarist government so that all handouts to foreigners were de- finitely laid on the shelf. Wall Street doesn't like this system. It is willing to pay, and pay big, for services rendered, but it doesn't care to have it's representative fing- ering around on business deals for himself. It breaks the sequence.

FOR HOOVER

The Ketchikan Chronicle opines that Hoover will be the next presi. dent of the United States-"not- withstanding the fact that the mon ey powers of Wall Street do not want him." The Chronicle is mis- Tod. Hoover is Okey with Wall Street and has always been so. How
 ever, Hoover's politics have been of the uncertain, or garden variety, and Wall Street wants a man that'il stay put. And another thing: Hoov- CT has always had a tendency to reach out for himself for his own particular pocket. This is well H.

AIR GUNS AND aa's

A question has been brought to our attention about the promtscuous use of air guns, shooting BIB shot and twenty-two ammunition. Com plaint has been made that Young America of Petersburg is out with these weapons and shooting around within the corporate limits ot the town without regard to direc tion or danger of hurt to others.
 Those more thoughtful citizens Of Petersburg who know the danger of careless handling of these guns have reason to worry. It has been reported that rowboats passing in tAe Narrows have been mighty close to the whang of bullets. Toys they may be but such toys can kill or maim for life. Careless handling of "unloaded gum" have brought sorrow to many homes. To be sorry for any serious accident after it has occurred will not remedy matters, The time to think Is now. before any accident occurs.
 Hogue and Tveten Company dur ing the past week was seeking the cooperation of other houses of busi- ness whereby BIB shot or any amma milton would not be sold to any minor except through the parents. The idea ts we'll worth the consid. eration of every parent and business man. Full responsibility is thereby placed upon the parent where it rightfully belongs. If the parent refuses to accept that responsibility the minor gets no ammunition. Fair enough. The matter should be urg- ed by all the stores and parents.

SURPLUS OIL

A recent report Is to the effect that the United States will have s. stock of surplus oil amounting to 0,000,000 barrels and the ex- cess will run much larger if resourc- es of West Texas Field are drawn upon.
 Over production usually brings about the lowering of prices. How ever, fishermen still pay plenty for oil.

AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT

The Chemawa American, publish ed at the Chemawa, Oregon, Indian School, comes to our desk, all dress ed up in an old idea-The Outing System-which in the terms of it's Father, the late General R. H. Pratt, meant nothing more than giving Indian children a white child's op- poxtunity in a white child's environ ment. In the words of that famous Indian educator, "To civilize the h. dian, get him into civilization; to keep him civilized, let him stay" The friends of the Indian and of Chemawa School, will watch with interest this experiment. We pre- dict, that if carried to it's logical and successful conclusion, as at tho famous Carlisle School, it will be only matter of time when the Indian Bureau and its friends, the enemies of the Indian, will work for the destruction of Chemawa as they did for the destruction of Carlisle.
 The Indian Bureau with it's sys- tenn of reservations Is a millstone around the neck of the Indian, hold ing him back from 8 more rapid progress in the life of our body po- lit1c. Reason? It fathers the for eign language, aggregates the race, maintains old custom ideas and ideals. With no other race is such a system maintained. And only in communities fathering racial en- titles Is Americanism backward. The whole system of Indian education has been wrong in that 1t makes of him an Indian American when he is desirous of being only an American.

of the club. The other members, by
means of direction finders on their own
sets, will endeavor to find" the port
able in fashion similar to that used
by commercial and Government sta
tions In locating ships at sea.

The New Bedford Strike

The strike of $4,000 textile workers in New Bed
ford, Mass, sngulary peaceful during the sixteen
weeks it has been in progress has taken on serious
aspect.
The militia has been called in, the riot act read
some hundreds of pickets arrested and numbers of
them sentenced to terms in prison ranging from two
to six months. There has been little actual violence
but the presence Of soldiers and thousands of demon
strators in the streets creates situation that we'll may
cause concern.
For many weeks the strike proceeded in an almost
good-natured manner. The mill-owners, early in
july opened the doors of their plants and invited the
strikers to return Few went and there were no dis
orders.
The present situation apparently developed as re-
suit of mass demonstrations by the strikers. The
business men of the city, who have suffered along with
the strikers seem originally to have been SYM
pathetic to their position Lately whether rightly
wrongly, we do not pretend to say, they have de-
manded action against what they have termed the
outside agitators."
The issue in the strike is 10 per cent cut in
wages proposed by the employers Mills can not oper-
ate proftaby if present wages are paid, the owners
insist The workers, already getting low wages,
counter with an equally tenabe argument that they
cannot live decently if their wages are cut.
Arbitration heretofore tried without success again
is to be attempted It is to be hoped that the workers
can settle their own differences and get together with
their employers in an attempt to work out an adjust
nent before there is an explosion that might have
disastrous results.
And in a possible settlement, employers would do
veil to remember that the payment of starvation
wages never put any sick industry on its feet

Professional Reform

Even those who believe most strongly in the
prohibition and dry laws must be somewhat
disturbed by two recent incidents in connec-
ton with the enforcement Of law.
The expenditure of $4,000 by the Govern
ment to send dry agents and their wives into
New York night clubs to buy champagne at $40
a bottle, suggests that public sentiment for the
law must, be at a rather low ebb when such des-
perate measures are necessary to get evidence.
But back home in Indiana occurs another
incident which reveals the interest of the pro
fessional reformers.
The attorneys for the Anti-Saloon League
have filed petitions in this county for the
abatement Of four places as nuisances
That might seem to be righteous act and
one prompted alone by zeal to close the places.
But the facts indicate different situation.
All the evidence against these places was
obtained by the police and the Federal agents.
The owners are under arrest.
The League did not gather the evidence or
have anything to do with the prosecution Of
crime.
All the facts are in the hands of Federal
and local prosecutors.
This county has a prosecutor who has
rigidly enforced the dry law and whose friend
ship and close contact with the League is we'll
known.
No one, not even the League would dare t.
suggest that under any circumstances woull
Prosecutor Remy fail to go to any length t
enforce and uphold the law.
All that vas necessary for the League to do,
if it wished merely to close these places, was to
telephone or write to Mr.. Remy and suggest
that attachments should follow. They would
have followed.
The Federal courts are also open to such
abatement process and it is not likely that Dis
trict Attorney Ward would have refused re-
quest from DR. Shumaker for such action.
