of five north Chinese provinces;
for reasons unknown to the outside
world Field Marshal Chang Kaishek
has chosen dO-nothing attitude, thus
straining the patience of his people
to the very bursting point. The other
day word came that some of his SOL
diers had imprisoned him, then, again
that he had been killed by his own
men, and then, finally, that he had
been released. All reports of this
nature so far lack verification.
But the situation is serious not
merely because of the Chinese-J apa-
nese controversy itself but also be-
cause there are possibilities of dam
gerous qualifications; one of them i'm
mediately becomes disturbing-when
one recalls that Germany and Japan
recently concluded a treaty which al
legedly contains secret military
clauses providing for mutual armed
help in case one of the signator les
suffers ar attack. Chinese-J apanese
trouble would, almost inevitably as
the situation now is, involve not only
Germany, but also Russia.

cation and the state. Will guidance
of education be highly centralized as
it is now in France, in italy, in Ger
many and even in Russia, or will the
relationship be elastic and localized
as it so largely is in England and in
the United States today?
How far is public education to be
utilized in building up an intense ma
tiOnalism and loyalty to racial super
iority as in Germany; or to other
modes and forms of propaganda as in
Italy and in Japan? OF necessity,
the public schools function in the
medium of national character and cul-
tural traditions, but it is a far more
serious and dreadful matter deliber-
ately to make education the instru-
ment of the political party in power
or of prevailing propaganda.
This is the temptation which besets
all highly centralized controls of edu-
cation. 1t is one vital reason why the
schools and higher institutions of
learning should remain as free and
Independent of the state as possible.
The past gave us the great doctrine
of the separation of the church and
state. AS things are going today in
many parts of the world, it now be-
comes evident that the future also
must stress the separation of educa-
ton and the state. There can be no
domination one over the other but
rather a cordial relation of mutual
dependence and service such as OBJ
tains in Minnesota.

MARCH OF PROGRESS

When one reads nowadays of the
speed records broken by land vehicles,
airplanes and sea craft, he cannot
help but think of the strides made
in transportation during the space of
a mere ten years.
In reading of round trip made in
the course of one business day by 100
Minneapolis and ST. Paul business men
to Chicago on one of the new seven
car Zephyr trains, the writer can
not help but think of the time, when
parents by train from Indianapolis,
Ind, to Devils Lake, N. d. The trip
took two days and two nights to COW
er distance of little more than
400 miles more than the trip the
Zephyr made in one day, with time
for a stop-over of several hours.
Such speed has brought states close
enough together until it is no uncom-
mon occurrence in this section oil
Minnesota to eat breakfast in one
state, lunch in another, dinner in an
other and then back home in time
for good nights rest. Modern speed
has made the west coast only a days
distance from the east coast and the
opposite shore of the ocean is but
four days away by boat and much
closer by air.
Science has done remarkable things
1t has brought speed to us so thai
some of us may live two life time:
in one such as our forefathers lived
but it likewise is fastening some
from this earth and their loved ones
1t has captured our fancy and oul
senses, but we have not learned en-
tirely how to use it, but the time shall
come when we will.

PIN BALL PROHIBITION
Editor AskOv American:

Editor Askov American:
| notice, as a result of the village
election, that the pin ball machines
are to be forbidden in Askov. l must
confess that | don't know and have
never seen such monster that is
supposed to threaten the stability and
good behavior of this community, but
whatever it might be l consider it
better to have it operate in the open
than bootlegging in the back alleys.
If it be a kind of lottery, we have a
law against lottery-that is net en-
forced. Look at our church bazaars
and society sales selling tickets to
their lotteries and once in while we
read in our papers about wholesale
selling of tickets for foreign lotteries
running up in millions of dollars.
consider all forms of lottery as
foolish-but we cannot legislate COM
mon sense into people. 1t can only be
learned by enlightenment and the
good example of honest, humane peO-
pie, regardless of how slow that might
be. 1t is the only means and way
which society can reform in such mat
tiers pertaining to acts, control, use
and spending of personal property for
people of legal age to be permanent.
Prohibition by laws work in the
opposite direction as we learned in
our noble experiment with the 18th
amendment to our constitution. Fur
thermore, our worlds history and hui
man nature have told us thousands
of times how futile such attempts
have been in the past.
In the same category we see today
Russia, Italy, Germany temporarily
make everybody behave and follow a
dictator's whim-but only temporarily
it can't last. Human nature revOlts
against Recommendation, while a pack of
balloons bow to dictator who main
tains his power by brute force.
In our socalled civilization we ell
act laws and regulations contrary to
nature. backing them up by prisons
and fines, creating lawbreakers and
undermining respect for law.
We have militants with us, also in
Askov more numerous than l had eX-
pected. However, weeds do net grow
or fare we'll in a we'll cultivated field,
and if there be something wrong with
Pin-Ball, there should be substitute
of better quality to fill in the vacancy.
Evidently there are also in this
community people, young and old,

that are more or less homeless. In

than Askov, socalled rest room, with
heat, light, books, magazines and
games, real cozy rooms where travel
ers. farmers wives when in town and
homeless workers and youths were al
ways welcome. These rest rooms
were founded and kept by village tax
alton. l have often thought we ought
to have something in that line in
Askov. A little public library could
perhaps be in place also in such q
room.
1t still puzzles me when I think
about ball playing and | notice the
space in practically all our papers de-
voted to ball playing and hero wor-
Shipping in that line. Most of that
space could, in my opinion, be devoted
to a better purpose. l can enjoy play
ing a game of Rummy once in while
without craving it be advertised in
the press all over the country, but
l don't feel justified in forbidding the
press propaganda, people get what
they want to pay for and the press
is producing what the market will
absorb.
A Pin-Ball, the name indicates it
to be small thing in comparison, can
it really be dangerous? Then let us
see what can be done to prepare Our
community field for something better

clined to think that such plan would
make matters merely worse. In the
same light was viewed a plan to the
effect that Germany. Italy, Portugal
and Russia attempt mediation between
the Spanish government and the fas-
cist rebels.
At distance one could not help
receive the impression that there was
not on the part of any of the effective
Council members any strong desire to
bring about the termination of the
bloody and ugly tragedy in Spain.
Even though some resolution deplOr-
ing the war and urging its ending be
accepted, it would, in practice, mean
nothing. Apparently there is only
one method of ending that war-short
of one of the fighting groups annihi-
lating the Other-and that is foreign
Intervention. But foreign interven-
ton can only mean war on much
vaster scale, so statesmen cringe be-
fore this possibility.
OF course, there is one peaceful
way to end it all, and that is sug-
gested in one of the proposals before
the Council-simply that all should
enforce their neutrality agreement.
Nobody seems willing to insist on that.
So, as long as the Spanish government
and the rebels can continue receiving
arms and munitions from the outside,
the war is likely to go on.

policy of their government toward the

1T is MURDER

Is there any difference between a
deed whether it is done with cold
blooded intent or one that is done
when one knows he is doing some
thing he should not do and which
causes the same result-death of a
fellow human being? We say both
are murderers if there is life taken
A person who knows he is doing
wrong, who knows he is irresponsible
when he is intoxicated, and who knows
he is breaking the law when he is
Intoxicated, and who gets drunk and
climbs in behind the steering WI eel
of an automobile, then gees out and
kills some one, is just as much OF a
murderer as the man who takes gun
and commits the same deed.
In defense of that statement, we
will say that if a man wants to drink
intoxicating liquor, that possibly Is
his business, but he should make sure
before hand that he is not going to
interfere with the happiness and we'll
being of an innocent fellow being. If
he is bound to take the liquor to ex-
cess, he should make certain that
his car will not be driven by himself
so long as he is under the influence
of liquor. If he does not take that
precaution, he is guilty of criminal
negligence, for he knows full we'll
when lie is sober-that there is danger
to human life when he gets in behind
that wheel in an Intoxicated cOndi-
ton.
In his case when he is brought to
trial he should be dealt with just
the same as one who has gone out and
taken a life with any other weapon
In regards to this subject the Fair
mont Sentinel published a good edi-
torial recently as follows:
"A hard working young store man
