"A VICTORY OF A

Whatever the meaning of Thursdays parliamentary
election may be to Great Britain, there is q rosy side to
It for this country. The Baldwin government. which fell
with a resounding smash as the returns came in. was
responsible for the obdurate British attitude on the ques-
ton Of limiting naval ornaments.
The stand Of the Conservative party on this question
was . major issue in the campaign. and the result may
be taken Is . rebuke from ths British electorate. The
way now Is open and the outlook excellent for successful
conversations on this subject. The Labor party. which
appears 70 have elected very close to q majority of the
new parliament. and which doubtless will dominate the
new government, Is committed to armamen. reduction. It's
platform also has opposed the traditional British insist.
ence on the right Of blockade, 20 the Labor triumph Is
. victory for the principle Of freedom Of the seas.
Moreover, the small Liberal contingent. which seems
to hold the balance Of power, is strong for armament
limitation on the American plan.
Authorities on world politics have seen much danger
for the future peace Of the world In the British deter.
minatton to dominate the seas. The possibilities Of a
clash between the two great English speaking nations on
this issue have been discussed and alarms sounded.
The error In the calculations Of these experts lay In
assuming that the mass Of the people would back up q
lingo attitude. The British people do not. that Is evi-

Editorial Comment
A MUSICAL
Duluth Herald

The town council Of Largs, in Ayrshire, Scotland, has
adopted q rule that there shall be no more playing OF
bagpipes at its beach.
The c0uncilmen said they had nothing against tho
pipes or the pipers, but that the notes of their inStru.
ments, added to the noise of motor traffic, produced a
congloneration OF Earring sounds"
Hence, no more pipes at the beach. But brass bands
may play there.
Probably the Scots would allow nobody who is not Scot.
fish to make any such remark as that about the bag.
pipe. Probably if anybody in Scotland said that it does
not need the addition of the noise Of motor traffic to
make the ~bagpipcs music "a conglomeration of EARRING
sounds" he would be mobbed. Probably il anybody il
Scotland-or in Woodland. cither-should say that let.
ting brass bands play at the beach and forbidding bag.
pipes Is in itself a scathing criticism of Scotland's ma
tional music, 1t would make HIM unpopular there.
So very likely it is wise to let the incident go as il
stands, without comment.

Today is the birthday Of Nathan
Hale, the Revolutionary hero who
gained immortality at the age Of n
by going to his death with this state
ment on his lips: Il only regret that
I have but one life to lose for my
country"
Hale was born on June g.. 1755. and
executed September %, 1776. When
less than 16, he entered Yale college
and graduated with honors at the age
of 10. For two years he taught
school, but at the outbreak Of the
Revolution joined the army at Boston
and was made a captain.
= Hts capture and execution at the
hands Of the British followed an at
tempt to spy on the English after the
American army had been defeated
in the battle Of Long Island. when
Washington WAS undecided whether
his army was being surrounded or
whether the British intended to fol-
low up their victory with q direct at
tack.
According to tradition, the young
patriot was betrayed by his own cous-
in. # his identity had been kept
secret another hour. his plan would
have succeeded.

THE CHILD WITH BAD EYES

The Importance of providing proper educational facil-
tiles for children with defective vision is stressed In a re-
cent statement by Mrs. Winnifred Hathaway, associate
director OF the National Society for the Prevention OF
Blindness, who points out that many a child suffers great
injustice in school simply because nobody realizes that he
has weak eyes.
Educators have found" she remarks. that many chill
dren who had been accounted stupid. sulen. morosc,
mentally sub normal and even criminal, displayed excel
lent intelligence and pleasing dispositions as soon as their
defective vision was recognized and they we're placed In
sight saving classes. The necessity for some children to
take the same work over again. a serious educational
waste. is frequently traced to eye difficulties
Aside from the great host of children whose troubles
can be ended by the provision Of glasses. Mrs. Hathaway
estimates that there are at lest 60 600 school children in
the nation who need to he educated in special sight
saving classes. At present, she says, there are not enough
classes of that kind to accommodate a tenth Of the
runlbcr.
Here is a matter for educators to give serious consider

DANDEL1oN SYMBOL OF MEANNEs!

Here's another way to be q good citizen. Clear the lawn
Of dandelions.
There's another reason than merely having a lawn all
grass and no weeds. It is that dandelions on one prop
erty are a menace to ~neishbors' lawns.
Many western cities are in q worse condition than Bis
marck in regard to the presence Of dandelions. The weed
was not kept down earlier. 1t thrived under this tolera-
ton and now these neglectful communities are afflicted
with the pest and beautiful lawns have been so ruined
that blowing has had to be resorted to to turn under the
unsightliness that took the place Of velvety greenneSs.
The same conditions can happen here In the course OF
q few years. There are lawns OF real loneliness about the
city which are thanked by the neglected type. where
hordes Of the yellow-topped weed flourish. Inevitably
the seed Of these will be blown or drift over to the neigh.
bors and then, to save the well.kept lawn it will be nee
essary to indulge in some back-breaking labor or suffer
the penalty OF losing all the Identification attained at the
cost Of so much care and weary work.
The person who allows weeds on his grounds to leopard
lie the beauty Of his ~neighbors' homes is not a good
neighbor. He is not a real citizen.
These thoughts are aroused by a communication from
. woman resident who Is interested in preserving one Of
these fine lawns. my husband and myself and children
she writes, "have labored three years, trying to exter-
inmate the big crop (dandelions) we found here. and each
year we have seen them diminishing. This year there
are very few and we work each morning at them, SO
that the blooms do not seed.
"Our neighbor has scoffcd at us all along, saying. 1t
does no good This past week he informed us that they
decided to let them the dandclions) 60 to seed, to sec
II that would help matters. Can you imagine how VIC
are squirming?"
The woman who wrote this letter is suffering real tor
ture. There are others like her in the city. A walk
around the town will reveal the same sort Of conditions
as those Of which she complains. The people Of the
immaculate lawns have the kind Of pride that goes into
the making Of a fine city. How sad that others so lack
this spirit that they are willing to destroy the beauty
that others strive to create and continue.
There should be an implied item in each residents pro-
gram for the common welfare Of Bismarck each year. It
should be to keep his or her premises free from pest
breeding.
Might as well toss your garbage over on the ~neighbor's
lawn as to seed It with dandclions.

er there is anything I can do?"

SUBSIDIZED AMATElJRISM

AA"AA
Public interest in sports being what it Is. the expulsion
Of the University Of Iowa from the Western conference
Is Z big story" everywhere; but there are implications in
the thing that go far beyond the circle Of football and
make the whole affair an illuminating commentary on
American life.
The outline of the case, Of course, is familiar to every
one. Iowa is accused Of substituting its star athletes. pay
ing them money to keep them in school. The taxpayers
OF the great corn belt empire, apparently. have been help
Ing to provide their university with winning football
teams. much Is an independent nation pays out its
money to maintain a standing army.
Nobody In America. probably, is shocked by the az
fair. The sensation lies in the fact that Iowa was dropped
BY the conference. not in the fact that Iowa paid money
to It's athletes. That part Of it won't cause anyone to lift
m eyebrow. We are altogether too used to the subsidiz-
ing OF amateur" athletes: it is one of those delightful
things about which nobody talks but about which every
body knows.
But the rumpus is worth thinking about, just the same.
1t illustrates perfectly the hazy. illogical way in which we
confuse amateurism and professionalism in athletics
generally. And our confusion there, in turn, is an ilum-
mating side-light on our national character.
We confuse amateursm and professionalism for the
simple reason that we are a nation of professionals.
Amateurism Is foreign to us. We don't see anything
illogical in q college paying brawny youths to enter its
portals, because we are thoroughly committed to the doc.
trine that the end generally justifies the means. We are
out for success at any price: and since athletic prestige

sess, why should not the young men who provide that
prestige get paid for doing It?
The amateur Is . man who devotes his spare time to
soma game or hobby for the sheer love Of it. without any
though Of the reward: and we aren't that way about
anything. We don't have any spare time. for one thing;

doesn't bring some definite and tangible kind Of re-
