This is not intended as faint praise. an interview upon his twentieth annive United States senator, W. E. Borah declar he was prouder of his negative than his affirma- tive votes. Any poor fish can swim down stream, Recently in a but it takes a live one to buck the tempestuous cur-! rent. Often more good comes from the “nay” that kills legislation, indefinitely postpones it or even leaves a measure in limbo than the resonant that sends a bill into the hopper to glut and clog the clutte tatutes, «Many measures have died a-borning, for which praise is due. It is not necessary now to tear th turf from these interred measures by even mention. ing them. Let the speed continue so that the final hour: will witness nothing undone that shauld have bet done or that done which should have been left un- done. n Education? A certain national m ne the other day com- plained that cur universities and colleges must be falling down on the job, since they teach students so many things that will not help them to make a living after they graduate. This plaint is cld and somewhat stereotyped. It ¢an be summed up as follows: Don’t load students up with a lot of less classics; teach them how to better their material condition; give them train- ing that will enable them to make $10,000 a yea: where their fathers made $3,000; train them for business, fer industry; make solid, prosperous ci zens out of them and forget all unnecessary “frill This attitude represents the feelings of a consid. erable proportion of our 5 Schools giving technical training undoubtedly are highly important. These range all the way from the y graduate schools of medicine 2 law to agricultural colleges and business schools. They include training in business administration, bank- ing, salesmanship, industrial chemistry and so on; and they do a vast deal of good. This much admitted, however, the question re- mains: Should we make this kind of training the most important part of education? Why? Is it that we, as a nation, can comprehend and appre- ciate only those things which readily are convertible into dollars and cents? A true education, according to the older school of thought, has very little to do with the realities ef business and industrial struggle; its chief aim is to equip the young man’s mind so that he will see business and industry in their proper perspec- tive; so that he will be able to get from life a meaning and a richness totally apart from money; so that he will be able to provide his own values for the world and its rewards, instead of accepting unquesticningly the values his fellows place on them. It is for this that our universities teach Homer and Virgil and Horace. It is for this that Dante is studied, and Petrarch, and Shakespeare and Mar- lowe and Keats and Whitman. It is for this that students study the philosophies of Plato and Spi ‘noza and Kant. It is for this that they delve in the history of ancient Rome, trace the courses of the distant stars and study such things as geology and psychology. " These studies perhaps do little to help the aver- age graduate gather wealth. But they do immeas- ‘urably increase the young man’s capacity for liv- ing a life full of beauty and meaning. Which, perhaps, may be slightly more important. What Is The Veneer Is Still Thin Consider the strange ways of what we call civ- “ilized people. In Tripp, S. D., members of a religious cult tied a woman in bed and kept her there, without food, for three days, “to drive the devil from her body.” Press dispatches say these folk became nearly hysterical -when officers finally drove them away and rescued the woman. i - ‘The superstitious, cruel man of the dark ages is still with us, covered only by a thin veneer of civil- ization. A few centuries ago such practices were in- dulged in by the most educated people in the com- iamunity; today there are many who consider them efficacious. , Verily, the work of public education has much yet to accomplish! expected to cause seems to spread spectators gather ‘Chaff Fromthe | | Legislative Mill | only the galleryites are idently keep as well jons evidently keep ites are med of events in both the senate | their e1 ‘house of representatives as the| of what ves. weary sessions when are being considered jleries at the rear of each ty. tout when ra on sin Great Eagle In for either house to consider anythingi Fargo, $25,000; d that; apparently from nowhere.

Editorial Comment The McNary-Haugen Bill (St. Paul Pioneer Press) | What It Will Do It will add about $250,000,000 a year to the value ef the farm commodities raised in the northwess states.: | Through the elimination of violent price fluct jaa- | tion, it will give the farmer the maximum benefit | of the prices his products command on the market. | Price stabilization will also eradicate the worst jevils of grain gambling. ¢ It will give the farmer himself a degree of con- | trol over the marketing of his own products com- | parable to that enjoyed by any well developed and | organized industry. How This Will Be Accomplished | The purpose of this law, in general, is to give | |the farmer the benefit of the tariff, and to mini- | mize so far as possible the untoward results of sur- plus production. It i intended to advance and encourage cooperative effort among the farmers. The creation of this machinery was necessary be- | cause it was found that the tariff was not working | | properly on the major crops of agrioalture.. This | ‘was due to the existence of a surplus which had to | ‘be exported to find a market. | {The law sets up a farm board which will direct |the buying up of such surpluses through existing | agencies, private and cooperative. The upward price is limited by the tariff, since importation | | Would begin at the point where it became profitable | for foreign producers to pay the tariff to enter the ! American market. \ | The farmer will thus get a price for his crops | equal to that on the world market plus the amount of the tariff, in other words, a tariff protected price such as industry get’. The surplus which cannot be consumed in Amer- fica will be sold abroad as before. made food by the levy by the farm board of an | “equalization fee” on e: {the crops that is marketed. Assume that America r s ina given year 800,- | | 000,000 bushels of wheat. Also assume that ‘ price of wheat on the world market, at Liverpool, | is $1. The tariff on wheat is 42 cents. | mestic consumption is 600,000,000 bushels and the , ‘amount remaining for export is 200,000,000 bushels. | The farm board directs the purchase of the sur- plus, or 200,000,000 bushels, at $1.40. Since the amount that can be got for the surplus determines the price for the whole crop, the mers get $1.40) instead of cnly $1 om the whole 800,000,000 bas! | It is a gain cf 40 cents a bushel and the whol rop brings $1,120,000,000 instead of $800,000,000, a gain of $3820,000,000. surplus will have been sold at a less of 40 cents a | bushel to foreign buyers, a total loss of $80,000,000. To make this good, the board will have levied a fee, [cf 10 cents a bushel against each of the 800,000,000 | } bushels of the crep. The net gain to the farmer | will thus be 30 cents a bushel, or $240,000,000. | The crops to which the law directly applies are wheat, swine, corn, cotton, rice and tobacco. | i Cleaning Up the Theatre (New York Times) No one will deny that the police authorities are | bound to act when complaints by responsible citi- zens are made that a given theatrical production violates the Penal Code. In that case, as Acting Mayor McKee observes, the pelice are not acting a: dramatic censors, but are endeavoring to ascertain | whether a crime has been committed. Yet all must feel that the actual method of procedure has been awkward and ineffective. Actors and managers are | arrested, but the play is not closed. The final deci- sicn is to be left. to a court trial which may be long drawn out and followed by successive appeals, while all the time the play may go on capitalizing its new notoriety. What the police have done may have been their duty, but the method is most hap- hazard and unsatisfactory. It does not reach the core of the real problem of cleaning house in the theatre. Close upon the police raids comes the announce- ment of a plan by Mr. Ames and his committee to keep the control of theatrical morals within the hands of a board, or jury, representing managers, actors, playwrights and the public. It is pleasant! to note that District Atterney Banton gives his hearty approval to this proposal, and wishes the Ames committee all suc The great merit of the scheme consists in its being always function- ing, while its decisions would be prompt and final. A play found objectionable would not be taken into | court, to run the long and uncertain hazards of liti- gation, but would’ be instantly stopped, since no actors would appear in it. Thus the proposal seems to be of a strengthened and more efficient play jury. All complaints would be ‘instantly attended to, plays about which preliminary reports were dis- quieting could be passed upon at a special perform- ance befcre ever reaching the public, and the power as well as the purpose of the decent theatre to con- trol the dramatic productions in this city would be vindicated. All interested in this burning question! must hope that the serious and worthy attempt of | the theatre to protect If from obscenity and affronts to public sentiment will accomplish much more, and soon stand higher in general favor, than | sporadic and necessarily futile interference by the police. | orge E.

At present most normal school graduates try to o! tain positions in the city schools soon as they have completed their courses, educational leaders say. 3 REALLY SERIOUS {What ails Jones these days?” ‘His wife's insomnia, his daugh- : on’s headaches and his father’s rheumatism.”—Judge.
