nation. He has with equal force the
right to work for amendments making
such a government possible. But it Is
also the unquestioned right OF the
people to know his intentions beyond
question of doubt
This is not criticism of President
Roosevelt One may or may not be-
lieve in the wisdom of his policies.
Some Of them are unquestionably good
others not so good That is not the
point. The question has been raised
as to Just what his intentions are
regarding changes in our form of gov
eminent. There is little doubt that
President Roosevelt will be candidate
for reelection in campaign that IS
already starting and that gives promise
of being one of the hottest for many
years. Under such conditions it IS the
indisputabe right of the people to
know whether or not the President
contemplates any drastic changes in
our form of government. If he does
contemplate such changes. the issue
could then be drawn clearly and UNI
mistakably If he does not intend any
drastic notifications, the people like
wise should know it. We believe the
President will make such statement
in due time.

LET THE ISSUE BE CLEAR.

There is a growing insistence from
many quarters that President Roosevelt
come out with lucid and positive
statement covering his intentions re-
garding the basic constitution Of the
United States government Many Of
his utterances since the supreme court
declared the MIRA unconstitutional
have led large number of unpreju-
diced citizens TO the conclusion that
the President intends to work for
amendments TO the constitution that, if
adopted, would vitality change our form
,of government.
There is no need fdls undue objection
no a modification of the constitution as
changing conditions of the national life
require it. The constitution provides
for its own amendment and that is,
of course, wise provision. The basic
law of the land should not be SO rigid
as to make impossible legislation need
ed to control changing economic and
social conditions. But it is the un-
questioned right of the nation to have
clearly placed before it and then tc
study any proposed changes in the
basic law Of the land.
President Roosevelt has spoken re-
peatedly Of new order needed tt
cope with present-day problems. Some
of the plans he has advocated anc
some that he has put into effect leae
unprecedented thinkers to wonder
the President is really looking forward
to socialized form of government
with ever-increasing power eoneen
Grated in Washington; with industr,
and the life OF the nation regimente,
and directed by vast army of bureau
Gratis.
Now the President unquestionabl
has the right to advocate such forr

it would be for the highest good Of tn

! THE BATTLE OF THE AGES.

In America today--as in China a
thousand years ago-man is strug-
Cling with Nature; he is biting the
hand that is feeding him. In America
today, If man fails to see his folly, he
may win his immediate struggle against
Nature-and lose everything except
the victory. In America tomorrow-if
man wins the senseless struggle this
shall be desolate land, a land Of
famine, land like China today.
Nature strives constantly to keep a
balance-a very delicate balance to be
sure-among all creatures and things.
Man, in ignorance, avarice and greed,
unwittingly destroys the balance.
History has proved that any inter-
ference with this natural order of
things results in unforeseen conse-
quences. Nature checks the pocket
gopher with the badger and weasel,
the prolific rabbit with the coyote
the voracious ground squirrel with the
soaring hawk, Man kills the badger

AS A MAN THINKS.

Observance of certain notable days
should remind us of the obligations
which those dates suggest. Nothing is
more important than the focusing OF
attention on the needs of our world. II
is highly important that people think,
think seriously, think Alright, and that
their thinking shall prompt their
actions and give color to their days.
The popular form Of government Is
that in which people do their own
thinking, elect their own officials and
crystalize the sentiment that makes
the laws. But We too much and too
often emphasize thinking erlfnasse 1t
is splendid If we can have maiorities
for the ushering in of every needed
reform. But many reform IS obtained
through an invincible personality
one person doing and saying what he
things is right and standing by his
guns though the heavens fall.

THIS ATTEMPT SHOULD BE
DEFEATED.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
attempt to suspend operation of the
highway patrol law and to throw / to
vote of the people at the next GEN
eral election will be defeated
We believe the highway patrol is one
of the best things ever instituted IN the
state for the protection of the public
The improvement of highways that IS
today in progress and the manufacture
of automobiles capable of ever -increas-
ing speed make mandatory a police
force whose duty it is to keep law
violators off the highways. The rapid
1y growing number Of deaths and in
iuries from accidents on the highways
is proof of such need
In view of conditions that have pre-
vailed in the past, it can be said with
a considerable degree Of truth that
person takes his life in his hands
whenever he drives on the highways.
He may be the most careful driver IN
the world, and yet that does not make
him immune from danger of death or
serious bodily injury And if he IS
accompanied by his family, they are
likewise subject to those serious
dangers. There is always the possibili-
ty that a drunken or a fool driver will
smash into the careful drivers car.
1t is for the punishment Of such wild
drivers and fq the protection Of the
general publickthat the highway patrol
was instituted 1T is doing good
work. It is needed work and should
by all means be continued.
According to report, the labor unions
of Butte and some other cities Of the
state object TO the law for fear thai
the patrolmen may some day be usee
as "a police force against strikers. Thu
Eresent law specifically states that thu
highway patrol shall not be used If
strike troubles, and thus that conten-
ton has, in fact, no foundation The
labor unions may feel that the patrol
men may be merely the forerunners
of state police force. That may
possibly happen. A system Of STATE
police has been tried out in othel
states and has worked so we'll in thu
suppression Of crime that there is ;
growing demand that such systems b.
established more generally But we d,
not believe the labor unions have an,
just cause to fear the present .highwa,
patrol.
Be that as it may, the highway patro
is surely needed for the protection 0
the public 1t is needed to free on
highways Of fool and criminal driver
and to help put a stop to the awfu
loss Of life on the highways Of tn
state.

TAKING STOCK OF AMERICA

One of the favorite theme-songs to-
day of demagogues and publicity mind
ed politicians is that the American
system has failed But c. L. Bardo
president Of the National Association
of Manufacturers, took stock of what
this system has produced through pri-
vate initiative and a free flow OF
investment capital, and here is what
he found:
That with per cent of the worlds
population, this country has 80 per
cent of the railroads, S. per cent Of
the telephones and telegraph facilities,
Sc per cent Of its developed water
power, rs per cent Of the automobiles,
SO per cent Of the radio broadcasting
stations and "A per cent Of the radio
receiving sets.
In the United States are produced
6Oee of the worlds oil; 49, Of the
copper; 1870 Of the pig iron; 47fo Of the
steeel, 58co of the corn, and prior to
the coming Of the AAA, 56qa Of the
cotton
Our standard Of living Is so much
higher than in foreign countries that
we consume p of the worlds coffee;
| II Of its rubber; II of its sugar; Sd of
its silk; 1-3 Of its coal and 2-3 Of its
petroleum.
In 1888, depression year. there
was spent in the United States more
than three billion dollars for education,
and that was more than the amount
! expended for education by all of the
other countries in the world The
4 United States is the only country in
the world to put one out OF every
five children through high school, and
one out Of every 1l6 through college.
This country has more than bill
lion dollars invested in public and
private schools and nearly 4 billion
dollars invested in colleges and uni
versities. 1t has nearly 4 billion dol
lars invested in churches
In $780, Ia million families owned
their own homes. More than half OF
all the farmers owned their own
farms. In 1884 including postal saw
ings, there were more than 38 million
J savings accounts in banks throughout
the country with aggregate deposits
/, exceeding billions dollars. In the
year 1888 there were more than mil
lion members of building and loan as
sociations with assets approaching
billion dollars.
AT the beginning Of 1884 there were
over thirty one and one half million
ordinary life insurance policies II
: force for face value Of over 70 biilior
dollars, and there were in addition
over eighty eight and one-quartel
million industrial policies calling foi
payment Of almost eighteen and one.
: half billion dollars.
