A certain hopefulness awakes,
Although we notice that it takes
A thousand men in fierce array
To put one Dillinger away.
And when the reckoning We see.
While justice brings sense of glee,
While men to take a bow are quick,
woman twas who did the trick.
Men must be shielded from the curse
OF crime that goes from bad to worse.
To see that this disorder stops
Let's swear more women in as cops.

ton of persons normally deficient or weak in self
 reliance Hence he may exaggerate the danger ot the disease
 But even those who have not had his experience with relief problems are uncomfortably aware of
 the growing spread of the doctrine that not only society owes every man a living" but that "so- cety" and the State" are, in fact synonymous, and that as a result it is the duty of the State to protect and help all who are in difficulties. This is the underlying philosophy of the auhoritar- ian or totataran or State-sociastic, or even com munistic Fascist State-namely, that the indi- vdual exists for the State and has a right to demand that the State for him.
 In the December Atlantic Monthly Mir Baker makes 1t clear that fair share of this doctrine is directly traceabe to the chaotic economic con- dtons resulting from the prolonged depression But he has also dared to bring to light what individual relief workers have found--that however necessary and unavoidable much of the relief work may be, it tends toward the creation of new form Of paternalisn in which the individual comes more and more to demand that the State look out for him. At the time, it robs him of the last remnants of his self-reliance The right" which is thus assumed to exist easily becomes prey to political agitation Relief workers can bear witness
 to Mir Bakers statement about the occasional sturdy truculence" or organized groups of persons on relief in making demands relief workers or organizations to the nature of relief that they are willing to accept.
 Unfortunately, there is solution of this problem except to speed up recovery and make work more attractive than remaining the relief rolls In the mean time the tendency toward dependence remains It is so utterly remote from the spirit of individual initiative that led the pioneers to live for long years under conditions of hardship far greater than those of any one today on relief that one cannot help wondering if some subtle poison of the spirit has in truth been seeping through the national character. MT. Bakers position challenges thought and examination. If self reliance is actually decaying we shall have lost one of the finest characteristics of history.

A Long Step Forward.
Cincinnati Enquirer.l

As one of the few bright spots in the interna- tional picture the American Governments draft treaty for the control of the munitions trade per- haps deserves attention than it is receiving in this country. Although little more than com pilation of previous proposals this draft treaty is far-reaching measure. If adopted in substantially its present form it should be of the most decisive steps ever taken to prevent Even if it does not meet general international approval 1t makes evident to the world the willingness of the United States to sponsor genuine move toward the insurance of peace.
 The draft treaty includes a series of provisions for the national licensing of armament manufactur CTS and the licensing of every export and import shipment of such weapons of war. Copies of all these licenses must be forwarded promptly to a Permanent Disarmament Commission at Geneva, under the treaty, there to be collated and published to the world. In addition, the commission at Geneva given very broad powers to go into any State and check up it's reports of armament activities.
 Quite apart from it's possible significance in the prevention of war, this proposed treaty is inter esting evidence of how far American public opinion has gone in, the last two decades Even five years ago, it would have been unthnkabe for the United States to offer treaty investing tremen- dous powers of inquiry and supervision in League of Nations agency. Today, although the United States still is not member it is taken for granted that we should work through the League in ad- yancing our plans for preventing war.
 The road to peace and security is a long and hard one. At times 1t quite beyond the capacities of this world of nationastic States Yet such advances as the mere proposal of this treaty indicate that there is decisive progress in the realm of public opinion and public policy. The more thoughtful observers of the international scene recog nize that peace be made certain only through the modification of national sovereignty. By that test the American Governments arms control treaty is a major step forward.

NATIONAL SCHOOL EXPENSE.

America spends twice much money annually for soft drinks, radios tobacco and automobiles as it does for education according to a recent study made by Joseph Miller Jr, Secretary of the New York City Board of Education and President of the National Association of Public Officials
 The study reveals that the nation spends $4oOO- 100000 annually for luxuries, while it spends $2250 100000 for it's schools the later amount reduced to the cost per pupil per year is S86.69.
 MT. Miller observes in his report, When we consider the paltry amount we spend for education greatest national problems; we have approximately 3000000 boys and girls of school age who are neither in school nor have jobs"
 The latter condition is indeed deplorabe, and fortunately Government agencies have been and are continuing to minimize the size of this group of young people and to afford them opportunities of either work education
 However $225O0OOOOO is not paltry sum, relatively, even in the education of the nations children.
 It may not be adequate but it does show that the nation whole is conscious of the vital importance of education. It is very important sum of money All identified with educational work should appreciate this fact and through the careful planned expenditure of this amount, through which a product young and women, properly equipped with practical education with which they enter useful and gainful occupations upon leaving school will in turn make taxpayers not only more willing but eager to make more funds available for educa- tion
 In addition to equippng children with educa- ton which will fit them for making a living, more efforts in teaching the young how to live should prevail throughout the primary and particularly the elementary and higher branches of education.
 It is desirable that leaders in educational work should consistently seek more money for betterment of education, but it is also most desirable and practical for those engaged in this work to make the best possible of the tools now available in turning out their product of young men and young women. adequately equipped to both earn living and satisfactorily face, understand and comprehend the problem of living in modern ciyli- zation.

Roadside Theater
Opens June 10

Ruth Hartrick, Eugene Kressin,
Howard Frederick and Frances
Brunt have been prominently cast
in Dion Boucicault's 1.-The Octo-
room, or Life in Louisiana" to be
presented by the Roadside Theater
Players June 1923 at the Road
side Theater, Halpine, Maryland.
In the title role, Miss Hartrick,
who was such a delightful leading
woman in the Drama Guilds pre-
sentation of "The Gay Lord Quex"
this winter, has a part that calls
for all the emotional display that
any heroine should desire. AS Zoe,
the beautiful and sensitive young
Southern girl in whose veins ran
blood one-eighth negro, she will
laugh, she will weep, she must be
gay, she must be sad, and in the
end she must die tragically, a help
less victim of circumstances (said
circumstance brought about largely
by the utterly despicable Nc
Closkey). And if her plight doesn't
bring tears to your eyes, you're
way behind the 1860 audiences in
responsiveness!
Eugene Kressin will play Jacob
M" loskey. the unprincipled vii
liam whose wickedness knows no
limits in his efforts to have his
way with the lovely Zoe. A truly
despicable blackguard-but he gets
his just deserts! Naturally, this
is a melodrama.) Mr.. Kressin is
Maryland UniverSity's most popu-

The young plantation owner,
George Peyton, whose love for the
octoroon has such unhappy results
for both, will be portrayed by
Howard Frederick, whose local
appearances have been in THE
Perfect Alibi," II Love An Actress"
and other Drama Guild produc-
tons.
