Total immigration for the six months was 1 ) inst 5$ in 1923, a decrease of 68.8, the old world immigration, at the same time decreasing 77.1 per cent. Must Teach Morality Our system of compulsory school education demands edu- cation in the school of letters, and we have been much con- cerned, for the past ten or fifteen years about the curricula of our public schools, concerned about the physical training of our youth; and our efforts are reflected” in the better physique and higher intellectua] attainments of those com- mitted to our penal institutions today over the offenders of ten or fifteen years ago. It us in the community to use all preventive measures available. The lack of home training, which includes moral training or character building, must have our atten- tion. Let us not be concerned so much with the breaking down of the administration of justice as we are with the breaking up of public morality, Public morality, whether it be political or social, depends on private morality, and no true p: e morality can exist unless based on religion. Our educators speak of edu. cation as a preparation for life and education must include physical care, mental training and moral training. Moral training is inseparably connected with religious. edu- cation. The conscience is the ultimate human source of moral motive power, and our youth should be so morally trained that their acts would he controlled by dictates of conscience, and not through obligations under the law. Without religion, edu ition is apt to prove more harmful than helpful to the ase of 104,875 migration com behooves d that less than one-half of our fifty-three € religious education. What in the way ‘ racter can we find in this group? What self-control or tel ? What respect for the sanc tity of the oath in courts of just or in the public service may we hope for from a group whose wills, hearts and consciences are untrained in moral principles? Many child-saving agencies governmental and private, have come into being in the last one hundred years, and effective they have been to a degree, but that which Washington said to his fello untrymen in his immortal farewell address is the eternal truth: “Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of pecul ir structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.” Vital a state that its citizenry be religious and moral the tes sion is not within its province. Ours is a land of religious liberty, Let us not make religious liberty synonymous with irreligion; drive home to our American pa ents their duty parents and citizens; bring them to a Y tion that the moral aspect of education must be fore most ning of the child, and that moral aspect is inseparal ted with religior Ronluleawen The ll ered up th fool laws.

Protection and ' Prohibition This is not a discussion of the policy of protection nor that of pro- hibition, but an attempt to iJlustrate the meaning, force and effect of the administrative laws of the other, When the prohibitory amendment was mede a part of the constitution it resembled the world at the period which we call “chaos.” It was “without form, and vold, and dark ness was upon the face of thé deep.” That is, the prohibitory amendment, as a part of the constitution, was the “supreme law of the land,” on the subject of tntoxicating liquors, but it s “without form’ and it was because there was no law to carry {t Into effect. Almost the very first question which arose was; “What constitutes intoxicating Mquor?” There were many other questions which had to be answered as speedily as possible. These are some of them: “How Is the eighteenth amendment to be put into effect?"—"What branch of the government ts to have charge of its enforcement?”—"What penalties are to be imposed for violations of its provisions?” ‘There were others, but {t ts not necessary to name them. Sufficient to say, prohibition was at that time “without form.’ The “Volstead Act” put the eighteenth into effect, It defined intoxicating Nquor,.provided penalties for viola- tions and provided for the machin: ery to enforce prohibition. We think this much !s plain. The administrative customs laws are to the import tariff what the Volstead Act 1s to prohibition, They prescribe how the customs duties shall be collected. “They provide for invoices, entries, declarations, class- ification of goods for the payment appraisals to fix the values eof, appeals if the appraisals or are unsatisfactory to nt or to the im: “vo! was framed amendment to there For Instar e, be- certain be welghed, cause the duty {s based upon the weight. Others must be measured, others gauged, others must be anal: yred, while sugar submitted to a polariscopic test. These are all provided for in the sdministrative laws, Without such laws, the cus toms duties would be uncollectible, the tariff would be “without form, and void” and darkness would cover the face of the customs service. There are many people who be- eve in the wisdom of the prohibi tory amendment who belleve that the Volstead “administrative law should be modified. And there are many people who believe in the pol- icy of protection, who believe that the present tariff act should not now be changed, who nevertheless the customs adminis. simplified, believe that trative laws should be High School Boys “One of the stimulating experi- ences of the editor's tour of close on to twenty thousand miles through- out our great country has been the opportunity of meeting face to face with thousands of high school boys, and yes, high school girls,” says Boys’ Life ‘We have approximately a million and a half boys tn junior and senior high schools Each year the percentage increases Present-day parents, the church and other agen- cles have a better understanding and appreciation of the advantages of a high school education and economic conditions are making it easier for the student A larger number of boys than ever In the history of America ave helped in working their way through high school in part or in whole This together with the demo- cracy of our public high schools, gives me great joy. The very atmoa- phere of the high schools in the south and west where some boys ring blue jeans or other inex: ensive clothes, with ,sweaters {n- stead of coats, happily mingle with those more expensively dressed, drives home the soundness of demo- cratic American institutions, "The reports from principals and teachers showing that boys in high schools are seriously applying them. selves to discovering what they can do best, in order to prepare for life's work in an earnest and thorough manner, are even more heartening. The progress that has béen made {n manual training features of high school education in recent years is contributing in a practical fashion to the solution of this pressing problem. the facts relating to boys ‘ols in America are most because th 80 com: ispel the effect of the pessl- mism of those who are, in my judg: ment, overcritical of the youth of to- day. The editor is happy to. say that the study he has been permitted to make, with the advantage he has had tn dealing with boy problems, Justifies the conviction that never in the history of America have we had so many promising boys of a splen- did character, who seriously purpose to make their lives worthwhile, and who, while in high school, apply themselves with diligence to their studies because of an intelligent ap: preciation of the advantage it will be to them in dealing with their life proble: On the other hand, it must be conceded that present-day living conditions have greatly in- —— “ask for Horlick’s The ORIGINAL Malted Milk Safe Milk and Diet For!nfants, Invatids me Thea For all members of the family, children or adults, ailing or well.

Che Casper Daily Cridune creased the hazards for youth, and unfortunately there is basis for con- cern because of some few being caught in the ‘whirlpool,’ sb to speak, under conditions beyond their power of resistance and self-control Taking all things into conaideration, however, the great bulk of our boys are coming through In a way which shows strength of character, because of home training and other influ ences, In a degree that is most en- couraging. “More important still, there 1s evi- dence that a large percentage of high schoolboys are identified with the church, the Sunday school, Y. M. C.. A. Boy Scouts and similar organizations; which tend to develop moral fiber and character, These boys in most instances recogn: ized leaders tn their school activities. With the percentage of attendance and the number of high school stu: dents who are seriously concerning themselves with character-forming influen we who are looking to youth as the hope of the America of tomorrow, have much cause for steadily increasing satisfaction,” —————— The Old Song Mrs. Corbett Ashby, the English: Carrie of the International Woman Suffrage Alli ance, ls now {n this country, partly, {t le reported, "to sound out the sentiment of her sex toward. a larger participating in world affairs than the United States now takes.” In an interview published upon her arrival, Mrs, Ashby proceeded to point the way, ersonally, she thinks the League of Nations affords the best medium. She admits that Great Britain will retain an interest in International affairs, despite seri ous home problems and possible diffi- culties with the dominio How, ever, it Is up to America, »| gee, “to take the lead in foreign affairs,” even {If there develops “a bit of a race’ between this nation and Britain. It is, as we the old familiar wong. now presented in one of its innumerable variations. It is as though, European statesmen having failed to persuade America, Euro pean women were trying to convince the country through American wo- manhood. So tar as the League of Natons ts concerned, arguments are worse than futile, Apart from the League, the advice et European visitore regarding “larger participation” is really su: perfluous, Mrs. Ashby should recal! that America partieipated {n a som what large way in the European war. The Dawes plan {s another monument to large participation. The Washington Arms Conference was a far-reaching venture {n world affairs. As President Coolidge has repeatedly said, America stands ready to work further in the inter- ests of world peace, Right now the trouble {s that Yurope isn't yet prepared to partici pate very largely in America's peace endeavor. As for leadership in world affairs, such as Mrs. Ashby recommends, it may be pointed ont that the times call rather for co operation to the utmost by all na» tions alike. Even a “bit of « race’! wouldn't be bad {f it meant sincere emulation by each and every coun: try concerned. There {: il plenty of room for all to do their individua} bit in the common Profanity and Oratory —— Awhile back # man who addressed ©n2 of the luncheon clubs in an east. ern city prefaced his remarks with the statement that he was glad no women were present. ‘They cramp my style," he explained. As his talk proceeded his lateners realized that what he had sald was true. The speaker would not have been able to swear so freely had there been vemen to hear him. The frankness with which aetors and actresses curse in such shows as “What Price Glory” and others has not yet reached this portion of the country, and there are women who would be shocked if they heard profanity and vulgarity combined either tn a pub- Ue addr or on the stage. For that matter, thei e men who like thetr language straight. There are two styles of oratory—one for male audiences and the other for a gath- ering of men and women, Men's luncheon clubs and similar organiza. tions e let it be known that they no longer will tolerate dirty stories, Any orator worth hearing can ‘be emphatic and illuminative without resorting to the gutter. The orators who have twe forms of speech are doing themselves an injustice, They must maintain two vocabuleries— one for men only and the other for mixed gatherings. They must watch themselves constantly words intended for use only with the male meetings jump forth else where. Trade Under tection During the elght months ending with February, department of com- merce statistics just issued show, our exports have increased more than three times as much as our im- ports have, as compared with the corresponding eight months of the preceding {iscal year. The really audacious thing is that either our imports or our exports should in- ert under a protective tariff, be- ye that was something free trad. *® all solemnly averred would be impossible If the tariff act of Sep tember 1922, were passed. -Com- merce shows little consideration for the theoretical economies of free Pro- = traders. Our Imports increased $107,- 997,000 in the first eight months of the current fiscal year, as compared with an increase of $331,681,000 in the value of our exports during the same time.
