COUNTY m mmu . ARMISTICE DAY ‘We: sometiney hedr complaints against the ,custom of national memorial days, mat% by those. shott-smhted, materially minded péople who arrogate to themselves the word “practical”, but who in the most far reaching se of that word, are the least prachcs] citizens. Such days, they aifi are a Waste of public time, and anmgless dxsplays of public senti- m n’c hybocnilcally or superstitiously ob- served. Fortunately the direction of the nations is not in the hands of such_ blind md " men who can see nothing beyond e day’s work, and the day’s profit. Wiser heade have managed from generation to generation, to gain control of our destinies. Sueh-men- have always realized one card- inal deféct of human nature—the shertness of its- menory iar the great moments of History, its s:gmficlant instructive crises of achievement and warning. A g'reat object is achieved, a great danger is passed. Im the hour of triumph and escape, men rend the skies with jubilationis, crowd them with flags, irradiate them with bonfires. Never was sich a moment.

But already, like men who have survived a tidal wave that has laid their city in ruins fethave begun to minimize the danger that threatened us. It is past and gone, and once more we return to our work and our play. The dead that died for us sleep, and the grdss grows. - Yet, as the sea but waits for its hour to sfiveep once more against our careless walls g0 the danger that was will surley menace \i# again, unless we make sure that this Iesson shall never be forgotten, and so §khool our mmds againgt it that not only shall it never again catch us unawares, but thiat it shall in time be wiped out from the cfitegory of permitted things. /.

Per- ““haps that's been the trouble: Since the war practically “every. so-call- ed progressive idea has been called radical and its advocates bolshevists, or socialist, “reds” and worse,”when .in reality many of thé ideas should have been adopted and all of them given serious, sane thinking and consideration. . No, we do not believe the country is going. fo the “bow-wows.” We do not be- lieve that the 8o-called radical Red is gain- ing control of the nation or the northwest states. A great many, right thinking, right minded citizens -have merely concluded that the Capitalistic Reds; or-radicals have- , gone far enough. That condltlons are about as bad as peoplé can st\an have had all the ‘murders and robberies we ought to havmeself evident. More eyes have been opened sinc eelection day than ever before. The present controlitig par- ties have beenr unable to Control these law .violations. Naturally they have been credit- ing the comnton herd "with these violations Dyed-in-thezwool partisans jump at the crack of the: whip. of party leaders and line up in support of the call, which is a matter of loyalty and not in the conviction of a righteots cause, Men and women today refuse to heed the crack of the whip. They must be shown that the cause is a righteous one. They must be convinced that it is for the interests of all the people, or they will re- sent to.the commands. : + Rational minds are in the majority by the millions and always will be in this great nation of ours. People must not be condemned for thinking. That is their God given right. Neither must they be labeled Bolshevists or Reds; because they exercise their God.given right fo think and express themselves. This is a .free country to be controlled * by Radicals; be they extreme capitalists or extreme Reds, ,is a thmg of the ps.st The two extremes must give in, and join with a progresswe, rational fair minded major- - ity, or trall in the dust. B AR ) ACCIDENTS ALARMING Statistics pubhshed by the health serv- ice of the American Red Cross show that deaths among children of school age due.to acidents are proportionately much larger than among either young children or older persons. Out of each 1,000 deaths of chil- dren between the ages of five and nine, m the north end, They are en- _ 167 are due to accidents; of children be- tween the ages.of ten and fourteen, 177 are due to accidents. In proportion deaths due to accideny among children under five years of age and among adults are quite small. . No parents need to be told that the most valuable possessions they have are their children. But it appears that there is a great need for some power to instill in the minds of civil authority the convic- tion that the most valuable asset the state possesses is its: children: 4 Accidents do tof “happen.” Th.ere is a ccxdent. Particularly is this true of trd gc accidents, -which are assuming alarming propottlons in the larger centers. Of what usé - is it to the mumcxpahty or the state 'to’ spend large sums . in educahng a child to grow up to be.a good citiZzen if it permits him to be killed by an automobile before he becomes an economic factor in the community life? Citiés and traffic bureaus search madly for remedies for traffic-accidents; ‘“saftey weeks” are proposed, debated, held; new and more drastic traffic rules are formu- lated, and more or less. enforced; more severe pepaltles are inflicted by Judges for driving reckléssly, but the accidents con- tinue. It would seem that the engineering brains which built the Panama Canal, took two million men to Eutope in-the~face of t submarmes%apd built and perfected the larges ‘railfoad and telephone systems in Flg=might solve this problem too. ‘hilethis remedy is left in the hands pqsfi/:eme)l teo, formulate, no matter-how ed or wfll—mg or while the answer to the,problem is given in Afx}) e hands of aldermen, may’b)s and leading ‘citizens, no niatter how | we eaning, we will still + continue'to kil ou¥children, Traffic accidents to the young is a sub- ject of national concern, state _ concern, city and town concern, of such gravity and magnititude that their prevention deserves the consideration of the very best minds in the counry. ————§ HAROLD KNUTSON Harold ran, where his colleagues stum- bléd—why?
