TRYING TO FORGET THE AGE.OLD
FRANCO.GERMAN FEUD
(The Minnesota Daily

A promising, though little known,
aspect of the internationalist move
ment is such an institution as the
Franco-German "children's republic
near Paris. Organized and supported
by philanthrOpists of both countries,
the republic" is really a camp where
children of the unemployed are sent
to live in the sun, build up their
health, and join their hereditary enc
mics in sport and study.
Essentially pacifistic in spirit, the
camp serves the double purpose of
providing healthful vacation for UNI
derprivileged children and of paving
the way for friendliness between two
additionally hostile countries. 1t is
said by the directors that the children.
after few days in the camp, show no
consciousness of national differences.
To overestimate the significance of
an establishment like the children
republic would be difficult. Such
movements do much to sow the seeds
of human understanding on which fu-
ture peace will be based.

so as to increase the per man output.
while the depression has been in pro-
gress.
Meanwhile many corporations have
continued to pay their dividends out
of surplus, as in the case of steel,
while adding to unemployment and
cutting wages
But somehow there has got to be a
further driving at that basic thing,
the reward for toll, so that machines.
which should be blessings shall in
fact be blessings.
Economies hitherto unattainable'
must not be made at the expense of
the millions of wage earners. They
must be made in the interest of the
millions. Progress is not for few;
it is for all. If it is not for all there
is no progress.
The nation senses this and that is
why America faces the brightest chap
ter in her whole national life!

TELL THE CREDITOR
(St. Peter Herald)

There is a common belief at the
present time that people are less
honest than they have been in his
tory, and most business men have
had plenty of experiences to make
them believe it. There is nothing so
valuable to you as your credit. You
may be honest and have the best of
intentions but when things go bad
you find that you cannot pay your
bills. But that does not mean that
you cannot be honest. Go to your
creditor and tell him just what your
circumstances are and why you have
not been able to pay. Tell him that
you still acknowledge the debt, and
if you can do so, make arrangements
to pay a small part of it at stated in
tervals, even though that payment
may be but a small fraction of the
total. You'll find that people are
surprisingly lenient with folks who
act in that way.

POOR SPORTSMANSHIP
(The Labor News)


The uniformity with which con-
demnation is heaped upon Samuel In
sull is illustrative of the superficial
ity of public opinion.
We remember distinctly the public
acclaim when insult stocks were soar
ing, that every intelligent person
knew was artificial and inflated, and
we also remember how those were
scorned who issued the slightest
warning against the obvious debacle
that finally swept his empire to ruin.
Now that disaster has befallen the
stock gambling fraternity, and this
included men and women in every
walk of life, Samuel insult is branded
with the same degree of infamy that
he was heralded as genius in the
heydey of his speculative venture.
1t is an undeniable fact that people
who invested their money in insult
securities did so with the definite
object of "cashing in on his ''su-
perior" business ability. And that is
true with respect to investment in
other stocks that went sky-rocketing
and then dropped into bOttomless
pit
Stock gamblers, large and small,
professionals and amateurs alike, be-
lieved themselves to be just smarter
than those who did not become inocu-
lated with the disease, and now that

HUNTING RIGHTS
National Farm JOurnaD

National Farm JOurnaD
Countless farmers have for nothing
what a great many city folks would
pay good money for-the opportunity
to shoot game. They can get some of
this money the city spOrtsmen would
so gladly spend by raising game,
stocking farm lands and selling the
hunting rights. In short, the farmers
can have their cake and eat it too.
That it is perfectly possible to sell
hunting rights is indicated by farm
er-sportsmen partnerships that have
been organized here and there.
I'VE all know there are hundreds
of men in this state who would gladly
pay and pay quite lavishly for the
privilege of having a good shoot" says
Pierre Garven, former member of the
Nevada fish and game commission.
Mr.. Garven then proceeds to point
out that the raising of game birds
quail, pheasant, etc.-can be made
profitable sideline on farms in Ne
vada, just as has been the case in
other states.
1t is true, of course, that the best
farm land for hunting is that with
plenty of natural cover. The game
birds can be raised in captivity, how
ever, then sold to sportsmen to be set
free elsewhere.
Raising quail and pheasant in cap
tivity is no trick. There are numer-
Gus game farms, state-owned and pri-
vate, that produce thousands of birds
each year. One that is typical of
others is the WicOmico state game
farm, in the outskirts of Salisbury,
Md. Around 5000 young quail consti-
tutes the 1892 crop. This farm started
from % pairs of quail three years
ago. Matching and brOoding are done
artificially. Commercial rations are
used
In some sections best results in pro-
lection of game birds will call for
trapping of furbearing animals which
are enemies of bird life. The income
from pelts constitutes still another
source of income.

MUST HAVE IMPORTATION
Detroit RecOrd)

No tax reduction committee or other
body trying to serve the people of the
state can please everybody; it is
human nature to want the other fell
low reduced in pay or emoluments,
and not us. Newspapers will lose
much if official reports or proceed
ings are curtailed or eliminated, but
the taxpayers will suffer a-plenty if
that procedure is followed. 1t is the
protection of the public against de-
falcations in office, against the allow
ance of fraudulent bills, against con-
spiracies to cheat the taxpayer that
demands publication Of official pro-
ceedings, and officials who oppose it
may often be the ones needing watch
ing.

The Mile Laos County Times:
Newspapers are business enterprises
and must be able to pay expenses.
That is one reason why the Times did
not carry as much free political mat
ter as has been customary in past
years. Every line of type set costs
real money, and it would bankrupt
the average newspaper to attempt to
publish one-tenth even of the political
dope that poured in on them with
the expectation that it would be print
ed free and at the expense of the
publisher. We would liked to have
favored many of our friends with free
notices of their candidacy, but we
would have to be milliOnaires in or
der to do so and pay the costs that
would have been incurred. The radio
companies charge for all political
publicity and we suspect that country
newspapers are going to be forced to
adopt the same policy if they are to
stay in business.

this boy. No doubt the motorist, too.
laments this casualty; but no amount
of sympathy or remorse at this time
can restore the little fellow to his loved
ones. This is just another lesson
for each and every school bus driver.
With all the law enforcing agencies
and courts of record in our state. it
still is impossible to keep every per-
son from violating the law; so be
unusually careful, therefore, and do
not permit children from your bus
to cross the highway unless you are
absolutely sure that all traffic is
stopped. l

Mile Laos County Times: Henry
Ford was very particular about CIV
ing his employees advice on how to
vote, and then forgot to register HIM
self, and he couldn't vote. A lot of the
people who impart advice freely are
just like that. :. Well, the st. Law
renee waterway proposal can be
shelved again and will again make a
good political issue four years from
now. 1t is enough to make the
angels weep to see farmers trying to
run their products past picket lines
of other farmers so that they can give
their stuff away
