Savages conceded that marriage broke many taboos, that a married woman was privileged to be less conventional than the unmarried. That’s where we get the custom. Every week or so, fire destroys 4,000 dwellings in Japan. Is it Red fire? PAVING THE WAY What funds are raised in the drive started to- day under the auspices of the Rotary Club can be applied only in paving the way for constructive work later. It is all pioneer work toward the ulti- mate end—a real playground for Bismarck and supervised recreation. Little of a lasting nature can be done among the boys until there is a park or public play-| ground of some kind adequately equipped. The Rotary Club realizes this, but has» decided to make a start toward the desired goal of a real recreation center for both young and old. ' Such a provision must be made if Bismarck is to keep pace with other cities of the state now far ahead| of the Capital City in parks and playgrounds. The Jap stands pat on Yap.. A lot of detective stories might better be called! defective stories. Maybe what the Germans want is to pay the indemnity in paper marks instead of gold marks. Don’t worry about the industrial crisis in Eng- land. It’ll wind up at the polls. Ballots beat bull- ets.

THE HALF-WIT CRIMINAL Atrocious crimes, committed, by defectives, have started agitation in various states for het- ter control of the weak-minded. : One in every 300 Americans is a defective, ac-| cording to Dr. Martin Barr, chief physician of the} Pennsylvania Taining School for Feeble-Minded | Children. Dr. Barr estimates that there are| 350,000 defectives in the United States. Only| 21,000 are confined in state institutions. About 1,000 more are cared for in private asylums, That leaves 328,000 mental and moral defecttves at large. A good many of them. are harmless. But many are potential or actual criminals. Police Commissioner Woods of New York has specialized on the subject. He says that 35 out | | of every 100 criminals are out-and-out defectives.’ Sixteen states do absolutely nothing to care for their defectives. No state handles the sub- ject efficiently. In the average community it is nobody’s business to keep an eye on defectives. They are allowed to run at large until picked up on acriminal charge. i New York City leads in the attempt to provide care for defectives. It has a special hospital on Randall’s Island, which looks after defectives culled from local schools. Only a few years ago, New York’s defectives went to the regular schools and mingled with the normal children, exerting an unwholesome influence. What’s to be done with them? Police Commissioner Woods of New York says: system. The monarchies of Europe imitated the Prussian model. Throughout the Nineteenth Century Europe was an armed camp of nations- in-arms. The logical consequence befell in, Aug-| ust, 1914. rey ; “The system of nations-in-arms was shattered by the War. But the fragments still exist and the idea will resuscitate the fact, unless there is a steady process of disarmament. As General! Smuts said. the other day, the way to kill milita ism is to disarm. When disarmament is universal the nations will confer and negotiate a longer time before resorting to war. But two great military Powers remain, France} and Japan. Only three great Naval Powers re-| main, Great Britain, the United States, Japan. |The Japanese and American armies are depend-' jent primarily upon navies. It can fairly be said ithat since the Armistice we have only the vestiges lof militarism left, and that, if naval construction | is discouraged, militarism will wane. | | i | jduty universal disarmament. Naval competition, if persisted in, will revive militarism. An agree- ‘ment between the Untied States and Great Bri- tain and Japan to discontinue naval construction would be a practical step toward universal dis- armament. Such an agreement William Hughes, the Australian Prime Minister and a practical) | statesman, advocates. Properly negotiated, such ja proposal will be welcome to Japanese and Brit- ish ag well as to Americans, and no narrow sus-} ‘picions ought to be permitted to interfere. | The Eighteenth Century system of standing larmies, a system adopted by the United States) ‘and Great Britain, was vastly cheaper than the; jnation-in-arms system.
