THEY MEAN BUSINESS

We understand from one worthy
source that as a whole the college
students of today are more earnest
than usual. That some universities
are crowding three years training
into two would alone mean extra
concentration on the Students part.
AS older ones are taking the world
more seriously so are our young, es-
pecially those of the college age.
Military service perhaps might take
the youth from his studies. The re-
Election of the times is to cast a
shadow on the irresponsible who
have taken college with a whoop and
couple of rah-rahs. Young folks
who have gone to college for the
remnants, the cheers and fraterni-
ties, can still clown in the dormi-
tory and caper on the campus. But
any student from Kennewick Will
tell you that acquiring an education
is a more arduous task. Since none
of us know when we might return tic
a sane road for living, we might ex-
pect there will be military train
ing for our American youths fol
some time to come. So they are
tackling the present job of getting
their college while they have the
chance to do so and are getting
as much from it as they can.

It is predicted that the next year
will spell ruin for large number of
small industries due to the fact that
they will be unable to secure from
the priorities board materials with
which to operate. A good many of
these small industries will be saved
by subcontracts on defense materials
from larger contractors. Those, how.
ever, who are not equipped to han
die large contracts and who use ma
terials needed in defense production
will be closed, Their closing will
result in considerable unemploy-
ment until the workers can be alb
sorbed by defense industries. Even
though the closing of these indus
tries may result in bankruptcy and
destruction the government, at pres
ent, has no plans for their salvation.
The priorities will be exercised
most extensively in the matter OF
metals, steel, tin, brass, aluminium
copper, rubber, cork, etc.

See by the papers that the law
makers are beginning to take our
suggestion seriously. There is some
talk, and sentiment seems to be
gaining, for the idea of taking each
youngster into the military for a
years training Immediately follow
ing graduation from high school.
We think this is a splendid idea,
even though the country is not in a
state of emergency. Such a plan
would broaden the youth, give him a
breather before he continued his
school work or light out into the
world to make his living. 1t seems
that other countries have found il
necessary to give their youth some
sort of military training and it Ger
tainly would do our lads a lot Of
good mentally, physically and NOR.
ally. We hope the idea grows, anc
that the Undergraduates in congress
will see the advantages of such {
movement. Our present system i
unfair all the way around.

ARMISTICE DAY

Because there are words like Free
dom and Democracy, we celebrate
.Arunistice Day. We celebrate it to
honor those who were willing to lay
down their lives in order to preserve
those words. We celebrate it, not as
a victory or an achievement, but as
a tribute to those who fought for
their beliefs. But though it is day
of homage and thanksgiving, it is
also a day of firm resolve. For, what
kind of justice would it be, if while
we celebrate these Armistice Days,
we lose what they fought to pre-
serve.
So let us, this Ar1nistice Day, No
vember II, 1941, reverently pay our
deepest respect and gratitude to
those who fought, but just as rev.
erently resolve to protect and keep
what they fought for-those words
again and Democracy.

rs 1t Is a good thing to get back to
the simpler foods from time to time,
a neighboring editor remarks. AS a
boy our menu contained consider
able cornmeal mush and corn bread
and boiled dinners. These have all
but disappeared from the family
menu today since they do not come
in sacks and cans. 1t is a whole
some experience to go back to them
from time to time and realize what
in an earlier day in this country
constituted q real treat to the
growing youth of that day. Some
times We think it would be a good
thing, a wholesome experience ii
we could take the young people OF
today back to the days when we
were young fifty and sixty years
ago and let them experience life OF
that period. Let them experience
what is meant to live without every
known convenience. Let them have
the experience of providing their en-
tertainment rather than having il
made to order for them. There are
a lot of things that we of that agt
had to do that helped us later. We
wonder what the machine age o.
food and entertainment and life ha:
brought in the place of those OLE
time experiences that is an improve
ment when it comes to fitting young
men and young women for life.

never the less it is on the way. AS is

seems to be no way that the indi-

only way to escape at least a share
of it's toll is ito buy as little as pos

True the price may go higher, but

FROM
THE PEOPLE
A TEACHER SPEAKS

The world has become so small, il
is time to ask ourselves why our
neighbors, the Germans, a fine
moral and intellectual people, who
once led the world in science. medi-
cine and drugs, why they have slip
ped into Servitude just when they
had an opportunity to build a de-
mocracy.
Several reasons may be found:
German literature never developed
the idea of free man.
The idea back of the school and
social system was service to the
state. Goethe said, IF freedom is Il
be obtained, it can only be attained
through obedience" Yet Goethe
wrote of a Superman, Faust, who
by betraying the woman he loved, hi
own soul and his people, attained u
supreme knowledge and power.
Luther taught that woman, a!
Eve, was evil and to be kept in he!
place. NietSche's idea Of the common
people was that whoever varies
from the average should be crushed
by the herd and made TO conform
! but the very few superior one

Bismark began the military sys

The Halloween stunts arranged by
the merchants for the kids OF the
community last weekend worked
like a charm. Police report less
devilment and general excitement
than for any time in many years
past. While the windows in town
got a right good soaping, it was
all done in soap and not with stuff
impossible to remove. Another
noticeable thing about this years
Halloween was the lack Of soap on
the car windows. Scarcely a car
was daubed up this year, and there
was no damage done anywhere in
the community. The program was
well worth the little time and money
required. The parade was a happy
feature, too, and one which could
well be enlarged upon another year

Out in Kansas the talk about the
scarcity of oil and gasoline is diff
cult to understand. In Kansas all
oil wells are on a proration or re-
stricted basis. In other words the
owner of an oil well, capable of pro-
ducing 1000 barrels a day is only
permitted to take from it few bar
rels q day, just enough to keep the
we'll in operating condition. If it
would be possible to shut off pro-
duction entirely without destroying
the we'll many Kansas wells would be
shut down.

It is predicted that after the war
is over the United States is going
to have to feed the world until the
peoples of the devastated areas can
get on their feet and into production
again. The fact that this nation
will be able to do this will place her
in a strategic position at the peace
table. The feeling exists that this
time no plumbers such as have been
made in the past twenty years will
be reported. If it is necessary to
set up police power to keep peace
in the world it should be set up and
kept up until people get over the
idea that it is necessary periodically
to destroy all they have gained ir
years of peace in a silly, senseles.
war. If we are smart enough to d.
this and make 1t stick, the war ha.
not been altogether in vain.

The best remedy we have seen
proposed as a brake on initiation
is the theory of plenty. If there
is a surplus of any product the price
will not get out of line. If there is
a surplus of farm machinery, cloth
ing, food and the like, the market
will remain steady. It is only when
there isn't enough to go round that
panic SEXES the consumers, there
is a rush to buy and as a result a
still greater shortage is created.

John Doe

BY curious legal fiction. the aver
age American man and woman,
whatever they may do or look like,
bear the names, respectively, of John
and Jane Doe. Whether they are
supposed to be brother and sister,
husband and wife, or father and
daughter, no one knows or cares, but
they do lead disturbed lives. Some
times John sees his name on large
checks, in advertisements, but is
never able to cash them because he
is practically always fugitive from
some sheriff with a John Doe war
rant and thirst for promotion.
This makes it hard on the real
John Does of the country, as Private
John Doe, draftee from Kalamazoo,
is discovering. He is tired of being
called bonehead every time he fills
out a sample form and signs it with
the only name he ever had-John
Doe.
Why not avoid all this confusion,
kill off the legal John Doe, and re-
place him with a substitute not
likely to come to life at embarrassing
moments? The melting pot of Amer
lea boils merrily, but there are some
things it cannot fuse. For a name
likely to remain safely fictitious, try
something like Pietro Sczybsczko.

HitIer's Purpose?

There are many theories Of eX-
planatlon for Adolf Hitler's abrupt
attack upon the Soviets. Some OBJ
servers believe that he has turned
East in despair of victory over Brit
ain. Others argue that it really was
toward Russia that he was headed in
1899, when he struck at Poland. Ac-
cording to the latter school OF
thought, the Nazi leader is in search
of economic rather than purely po-
litical advantages. He wants, in all
reasonable probability, not only the
wheat of the Ukraine and the oil of
Baku, but likewise the riches of a
further domain. In support of this
hypothesis report is current in
Washington to the effect that when
a certain famous American engineer
visited Berlin a few years ago, he
was asked by General Herman Goer-
ing: What can you tell us about the
metallurgic wealth of Siberia?"
The vast area to which Hitler's
lieutenant referred always has been
a mystery. In very ancient times
there were settlements of lost or
forgotten peoples in the valleys of
the Volga, the Irish and the Yenisei
Rivers. Both European and ASiatic
Sibir were explored from Novgorod
before 1147, but it is written in the
chronicles of the period that many
perished there"
From God knows whence" the
Tartars overran the Christian COM
munities of the frontier in 1888.
Ivan III, with modern" cannon,
turned back second Mongol incur
sion and is credited with being the
true "discoverer" of Siberia and the
founder" of the Russian Empire in
which it is included.
Meanwhile, Cossacks under the
leadership of Yermak, rebel against
the authority of Moscow, occupied
the neighborhood of Tobolsk in 1880,
but soon returned west. Though sue
ceSSive czars claimed the whole area
between the Urals and the Pacific,
their rule was merely nominal. Such
"aborigines" as the Russians encoun-
tered in their occasional expeditions
toward the Amur did not defend
themselves against absorption in the
Muscovite realm. The first Siberian
convict village is said to have been
established in 1648. Between 1923
and 1898, seven hundred thousand
prisoners and two hundred thousand
voluntary followers passed over the
main road through Omsk and
Irkutsk. The population now is sup
posed to be approximately eight mil
lion. Probably 1t is much less. A
