It is a campaign neither of poli- tics, commerce nor reform, but one purely of education, and includes ev- ery citizen in its purpose, which is that of reaching the community the value of its infant population. The babies don’t know it, but they are the reason for hundreds of nurs- ing courses, child welfare exhibits, window decorating contests, bazaars, essay contests and general meetings planned during the next week. The campaign was inaugurated by the General Federation of Women’s Clubs and sponsored by the Federal Chil- dren’s Bureau. Many states are holding state-wide campaigns. Wisconsin has inaugur- ated a campaign to place emphasis on adequate nursing, care and instruc- tion for prospective mothers. Texas has its own Baby Week slogan, ‘“baby health is Texas wealth.” Mississippi has a slogan of its own. North Da- kota is holding an essay contest in the public schools. A Colorado set- tlement 40 miles from a railroad, a women’s club on a western reclama- tion project, a Montana coal mining town with a large foreign popula- tion, a southern mill village and sev- eral farm women’s clubs are holding celebrations. No active campaign will be held in Bemidji for a wider recognition and a profounder realization of the fact that this or any other commu- nity can determine largely the char- acter of its future citizens by the at- tention which it gives to the needs of its babies. The Pioneer, however, has secured a series of excellent ar- ticles on the subject, the first of which will appear Monday. Babies are the raw material of civ- ilization; the plastic clay to be wrought partly at least, by our hands, into what form we will. If we decide that we have no responsi- bility for shaping and molding this clay, we show ourselves to be out- side the present trend of scientific thought. Leading thinkers, mnot only in the United States, but all over the civilized world, are telling us that there is no better index to the intelligence of any given com- munity than the one to be read in the conditions under which it allows its infant citizens to develop; the comfort of its houses; the purity of its drinking water; the cleanliness and care demanded of its milk pro- ducers; the civic regulations over re- fuse material, the fly nuisance, pav- ing and drainage, the provision of fresh air and recreation—and the general oversight it exercises over its sanitary conditions. This is the responsibility of every adult citizen, whether parent or not. Baby Week has been instituted for the purpose of bringing home this responsibility to all of us. Look about you and ask yourself whether the conditions in this community are such as to make it an ideal place for children. The Pioneer would be pleased to receive contributions on the subject.

Ak Ak ok ok ok ok kK k kR **__********* LA E R E R E R SRR Note—The following. is the eleventh of a series of articles describing and discussing the Swiss military defense system published by the Pioneer by spe- cial arrangement with the Spokane Spokesman-Review. — Editor. (From the Spokane Spokesman- Review.) “Nations certainly have not reach- ed the point yet where they are not willing, when the occasion offers, to take advantage of the weakness of another nation to carry out a policy of aggrandizement.”—Former Presi- dent Taft. The whole issue of national pre- paredness pivots on that. If true, it would be folly for the United States not to prépare. If untrue, Wash- ington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson all are wrong, and money expended on a navy, an army or a citizen defense organization might better be applied to other ends. If Taft’s conviction that nations still exist with willingness to aggran- dize themselvés is true, those nations will move along the lines of least resistance. If Mr. Taft has laid down a sound premise, then Senator Jones of this state must be regarded as an unsound and dangerous adviser when he asserts himself “against talk for national preparedness and for peace talk instead.” Can’t Control Outside World. By the same token, if that is true, the head of the national grange pro- mulgates dangerous doctrine when he urges abandonment of Washington’s axiom for the new axiom “In time of peace prepare for more peace.” “Educate the children to love peace,” adds National Master Oliver Wilson, “and a world peace will not be far distant.” The looseness of that doctrine lies in the unpleasant fact that pacifists in the United States cannot educate the children of the whole world. While they are teaching American children to refuse to defend their country, German, Russian, British, French and Japanese leaders of na- tional thought and molders of na- tional policies will be teaching their children a different doctrine. It is passing strange that Senator Jones, with the plain lessons of the war before him, can take upon him- self the grave responsibility of op- posing measures of national defense | while gibly asserting: “There is no nation on the face of the earth that would dare attack the United States in the near future. In Europe the nations will have had all the fighting they want by the time the war ends, no matter which wins. Where is the danger?” Fear Nation Tried by War.

The Monroe doctrine is one visible danger. Neither Senator Jones mnor any other American can give this nation a guarantee that war clouds will not rise on that point of the horizon.
