A EET oe (Official City, State and County Newspaper) aS eeaiiltatie Lies r Criticism The United States it the present time the butt of much ill-consideration and unmerited adverse criticism beeause.of the money loaned various nations. We are heing represented in the role of a Shylock, demanding qur pound of flesh, though we do not need it and thongh it means the financial death of the debtor. But how wholly unfair! What a poor reward for thé millions upon millions of dollars that citizens of this country have donated, absolutely without | thought or hope of re ‘ment, whenever di threatened the other nai 5 but publicly, we hav Un we done this, even the government haying canceled various debts at different times wlten it seemed expedient to do so, But here we have billions of dollars at stake, bil- lions that we cannot afferd to. toss lightly away. They were borrowed. The borrowers begged for thése billions— but now that the time has come when they must say when and how they will discharge théir honest debts, they, like many another debtor, whine about the payment and the terms under which they must act. Colonel E. M. House has rather an original theory concerning this feeling against us. He says that it is “because our government, as a government, has refused to take part in the rehabilitation of Europe —tefused because of the ever-existing conflict be- tween the chief executive and the senate. Our sys- tem of government as it exists today negatives ac- ti The senate should be given the power to make tréaties, or it should be shorn of its power to ob- struct by a two-thirds vote. It is an absurdity that| wé can make war by a majority vote of congress, but it it should take a two-thirds vote of the senate to make peace. And upon that slender thread the fate of uations has hung.” There is much reason to Colonel House’s argu-! mént. Other nations judge us by our official acts and not by our private philanthropies. Perhaps we shouldthange our method of making peace. ===> -Phe-Apathetie Dry Vote - eclaring that in the past 50 per cent of the dry pe has refrained from registering or voting, Mrs. Boole, national president of the Women’s Temperance Union, sounded the call to ac- tigm in Chicago the other day. ‘Mrs Boole has launched a campaign to get out available dry vote at the fall elections to de- efforts of wets to modify the Volstead act. “Y the dry vote will only come out then, the con- Breéssional elections this fall should reveal how the country stands on the Volstead act as it operates at present. It is a test the country needs. A national referendum a few months ago went wet. At that time it was claimed by the drys that the real voting strength had refrained from partak- ing in the voting because it didn't mean anything. But these elections will mean something very defi- nite. ‘The W. C. T. U. will support dry candidates for the senate and house of representatives. The or- gafization is ignoring, however, referendums in sev- eral states where they are being held because they pr8po: se action by congress that “cannot be done.” he congressional elections are left to tell the story. Barring the personal equation whieh each candidate brings into the fray, the test should be a pr@tty fair indicator. The results will be watched eagerly by wets and drys alike, 5 s A Season’s Work in a Day Prom Hutchinson, Kansas, comes word that a yogis farmer named Irwin Brownlee, cut, threshed | ;, and plowed, 100 acres in a day. You would think thé man might be a little tired after turning out a season's work in a few hours, wouldn’t you? But no€ so. Not in this age of marvelous machinery. Brownlee arose early in the morning and started cufting his wheat with a 50-horsepower tractor and a combine cutting a 20-foot swath. Hooked on be- *} women and children in this country, 10 years of age diculous by mouthing and manifesto, as when he “settled” the Nobile-Ellsworth quarrel about who commanded the Nofge on its flight across the pole. “I want to say in a voice of thunder that you were responsible for this glory,” he shouted as he recent- ly kissed Nobile before the populace. ‘In vain did others try to steal that glory. . .. . You, with other Italians, wisely guided that ship to the end of its extraordinary voyage!” Being minister of acronautics, Benito’ probably thinks he knows what he’s talking about.

Actual illiter- dered to be even greater than this per- centage figure, based on census returns. It is dif- eal? to draw the line between literacy and illiter- y. An adult who has not gone beyond the third or fourth grade of school is “likely to be illiterate rath- er than literate,” even though able to scrawl his name, Furthermore, it is estimated by a competent authority that one-third of our population are “near and that one-quarter of qur people can- not read the headlines of a newspaper, write a com- anon letter or understand printed instructions, while to one-tenth printed words are but “weird black marl and public notices and danger, wholly meaningless: 0 ave the letters Cadmus garg! said ‘Byron of s. And so have we. But at least five mil- lion men and women in the United States have vir- tually missed school. The blame is not to be put up- jon the ci alone. Illiteracy in rural districts, ac- cording to census reports, is almost twice that in the cities. Nor are the foreign-born alone to be held responsible. Their children are at any rate learn- ing the language of their adopted home. According to the American Educational Digest, there is more illiteracy among the native-born than among the children of the foreign-born. ‘The first line of attack is to reach all the children and so insure complete literacy in the. next genera- tion, This is a matter of state responsibility, though of national concern, Whatever justification there is for Federal support of elementary education must be found in the inability of any state to provide it- If the means for making its entire population literate. Such a provision is owing not only to the child, but to the ration itself. The second line of attack is through means for enabling those who have come to adult years as illiterates to ‘overcome their handicaps. Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, who has done a remarkable work among the mountain whites in the south, and is now leading in a national cru- sade, states that we bave in New York City enough illiterates to make a city the size of Denver. To do our share we should at least concentrate upon reach- ing these through the evening schools and through the classes for women in the homes. Child illitet- acy is being eliminated. Adult illiteracy would be reduced to a. negligible percentage if only there were igorous united effort on the part of public and private agencies. Illiteracy has been diminished in several northern European countries to a fraction of | ¢ 1 per cent. It should be possible to make such a showing here by the end of this decade. Of course, after literacy should come its practice. It is but the beginning of education. Millions can read and write who are to all intents and purposes illiterate, because they make no use of their literacy an intelligent part in the life of their day and gen- eration, Adult education continued is the new gos- pel of modern life. The Real 100 Percenters (St. Paul Dispatch) North Dakotans have had their eyes turned this week to a notable exception, namely, the township and voting precinct of Thingvalla, in Pembina coun- ty, where at the last primary election out of 268 votes registered, 267 voters appeared at the polls and cast. their lots. The contrast between this rural precinet and. others in the state is as marked in percentage of votes cast as is the contrast between rural precincts in general and voting precincts in cities. Observers note that the vote in cities fall something short of 50 per cent of the voting strength, except in cities where a fight between local candidates brings out the voters.
