It confronted east ern old guard leaders with the nec- essity for quick decision on how the veteran progressive is to be stopped if he is to be stopped.
 Sen. William E. Borah has ten- tatively accepted offers of support from four of the 14 states in which presidential primaries will take place. They are Wisconsin, New York, Ohio and Illinois. These states represent IA electoral votes.
 Borah's Permission
 An Ohio delegation yesterday ob- tained from Borah permission to place his name before the May l2 Ohio primary if that course ap- peared desirable. The senator re- vealed, also, that the Borah-for- president movement was taking de- finite form in Colorado and Minne- sota, with Eix and eleven electoral votes, respectively.
 The Borah campaign Jill open in the east Jan. 28 when he speaks in New York under auspices of the state committee of progressive re- publicans.
 The 1886 campaign proper win begin here on Jan. 8 when President Roosevelt speaks before the widely publicized $5o-a-plate Jackson day dinner.

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS

In 1917 the United States went
to war against Germany because
Germany had interfered with the
right of American ships, when we
were not at war, to go wherever
our ship owners chose to send
them. Three or four times between
1914 and 1917 we were close to
war with England over the same
issue of the freedom of the seas.
We did actually go to war with
Great Britain In 1912, to assert
the right of our ships to sail the
high seas without interference by
any other nation. The doctrine of
the freedom of the seas became, in
the course of a century, an inher-
ent part of the American tradition.
There is great body of opinion
now in the United States which
holds that we should not have gone
to war in 1917. In warning Am
ericans that they cannot trade
with either of the nations at war
except at their own risk, the Pres
ident, acting under instructions
from Congress, has Withdrawn the
protection of the United States
from American ships carrying Am
erican cargoes to or from the ports
Of Italy, even though we are at
peace with Italy and with the rest
of the world.
1t is apparently the official view
that American people are willing
to scrap old precedents rather than
run the risk of becoming involved
in another foreign war.

EDUCATION new thoughts
often quote a remark l heard
Woodrow Wilson make years ago.
1.-The purpose of education,'' he
said, ''is to make young people diff
ferent from their parents" Parents
lose sight of the fact that, sooner
or later, their children are going
to take their lives into their own
hands, and exercise the inalienahle
human right of making their own
mistakes.
The last thing a school or COL
lege should do is to discourage in
dividual thinking. I liked what
President Hutchins of Chicago
University said the other day. "If
young people must meet new ideas
some time, it would seem the part
of wisdom to have them meet those
new ideas where they are fairly
presented by intelligent people who
have no axes to grind"
Nothing can be worse than for
