UP-To-DATE ADVICE TO READERS

Every once in while we have to
carry out the time-honored custom of newss
paper editors and pass some advice along
columns.
It is always a question of Importance
to determine upon what subject the
thought shall be addressed. In reviewing
the field today we find most problems set
tied by what others have written or said
and we are forced to select from very
restricted range in an effort to get some
thing novel.
Most of our readers have their own
opinions and stand ready to take issue
with any editor who dares to treat them
lightly We have no such idea In fact,
just for a change we are going to suggest
that the reader is quite correct, that his or
her conclusions are eminently sound and
should not be upset by anything written.
This last sentence, as you see, applies
equally to all opinions regardless of what
they might be and that is good feature
of any smart editorial 1t is always good
to write something that will please every
body. In fact, we have rarely accom-
plished this and take some pride in the
belief that we have now done so.
In conclusion, therefore, we urge all
readers to hold fast to whatever opinions
they have formed on any subject that
they have thought about, regardless of
whether there is any basis for the idea or
not 1t is nobodys business what you be-
lieve, least of all the business of a news
paper editor who probably knows little
about your mental powers much less your
psychic potency

FLIRTING WITH DEATH

1t is an amazing fact that the appal-
ling number of deaths and injuries which
result from sheer carelessness make no
son. This is especially true with respect
to drivers of automobiles
Persons who are ordinarily careful in
protecting their health and property often
throw discretion to the winds the moment
they grasp the wheel of motor1car, and
flirt. with death through failing to observe
the most elementary principles of safety.
They will take chance at grade
crossing, speed while rounding "a blind
curve, pass other cars under dangerous
conditions, and do other foolish things
which menace life and Seemingly
oblivious to the fact that one slight mistake
of judgment may prove fatal to them or to
those who happen to be passengers in their
cars.
The jaywalker is equally reckless,
taking the chance of being run down for
the sake of saving few steps or a mo-
ment's time. In fact, many pedestrians
are even more careless than the aver
age motOrist.
Safety education has been the means
of reducing accidents to some slight ex-
tent, but the lamentable fact remains that
no amount of warning. has any appreciate
effect upon the majoritgof people.
The result is thatS57, 900 or more per-
sons are killed and about a million are in
jured in automobile accidents in the
United States every year, while at least 80
per cent of these casualties might be
averted by the use of ordinary common
sense.

NO YoUTH-CRIME THERE

Judge Malcolm Hatfield of st. Joseph,
Mich, recently called attention to the fact
that in the countries of Norway, Denmark
and Sweden. there is no Juvenile delin-
quency, as child crime does not exist there.
Parents are so alert TO their duties and re-
sponsibilities that no juvenile laws or
courts are required. The scandinavian
countries are 9s per cent Lutheran, and
the influence of that Church no doubt Aas
a great dead to do with the Splendid ehly
training received by the children. The
jurist eited 81 recent iristaiiee II winch J
bad example set by parent influences a
child TO commit theft. 1t appears that the
child and her mother were riding on bus
and when the driver came to collect the
fares, the child heard her mother falsify
the formers age in order to ride at half
fare. This dishonest act shortly there
after influenced the child TO steal from a
ten-cent store. according to the juvenile
authorities that apprehended her. Juve-
nile delinquency can be prevented. but
parents have a distinct duty 10 perform in
this respect, as responsibility for the child 5
training rests largely with them.

be haraSsing, but our neutrality law
which is designed to keep us from
becoming involved in wars between
other countries adds UNNECESSARILY
to the difficulties and the dangers.
There are two aspects. First is the
fact that the Sympathies of the Amerl-
can people are undoubtedly with
China. This is partly a tendency to
take the part of the "undef Cos" but
even more it is a strong conviction
that there is no legal or moral lustii-
cation for the actions of Japan. Slow
" but certainly there is developing
throughout the world belief that
nations should be guided in their re-
lations with each other by a code
similar to that so generally approved
for individual conduct. During recent
years there have been so many shock
ing violations of this idea that it is
easy to become cynical Yet there is
no doubt that public opinion is
strongly against international immo-
rality.
This widespread conviction makes
difficult for our government TO
apply our neutrality law Not only
would a declaration by our Presi-
dent that state of war exists in the
the Far East imperil our trade and
investments but many would believe
that stopping trade with both China

carry basis) would injure the former
more than the latter. This may not be
true but the view is widely held.
A second aspect is quite different.
A Presidential declaration would es-
pecially injure certain lines OF BUSH
ness in the United States. One of our.
most important exports to pan is
raw cotton. II our shipments of cot
ton to Japan are stopped or sharply
reduced, what will be the attitude OF
the South? Will the cotton growing
areas accept without protest reduc-
ton in the price of cotton which may
mean disaster to them? Will they
support a general national policy
whose costs will he concentrated so
heavily upon their chief means of
livelihood? Will they not at least de-
mand that the rest of us share the
losses in some way. perhaps through
a government guarantee of the price
of cotton, say through loans at per-
haps twelve cents per pound? And
are the rest of us ready to meet
through ultimate taxation the loss
such loans would bring?
Then there are the importers of
Japanese products, especially raw
silk A curtailment or cessation of
silk imports means trouble for both
owners and workers in our silk mills.
They may also SIX for public as
sistance of some kind And what is
true of exports of raw cotton and inn

lines of business which viii suffer if
our neutrality law is applied Yet it
will be difficult for the President to

sudden change in the situation in

Then too 1t is by no means clear
that in any case the application of
our neutrality law will accomplish its
purpose which is to keep us out of
