They will reason that inasmuch OB their neighbors in an adjoining community trampled the law under foot and got away with it, they, too, can resort to violence to | retrieve fancied IOSBCB or avenge im aginary wrongs whenever they choose, and will be none the worse j for it. ty But it Is not of the present no?* of the grownups of the community that | wo are thinking. It is of the future and of tho children of the communi ties where lawlessness roigns that ) we aro thinking. Children; at the most Impression able period of their lives, witnesbing acts of violence that aro anarchistic in charactor, and seeing these things flourish unchecked in the presence of the representativos^ o? the iav/,.,aro In a fair way to grow to maturity with as little If not lem; respectr-for low and order than thejr elders.

COLLEGE TALK The Harvard Crimson laments the] frivolity of students' conversation. The young men at such institutions i of higher learning, it appears, tah special pains not to discuss anything worth while, either in their academic world or outside of it. The two or three hours a day spent together at meals are given over to silly prattio about women and athletics, and to crude personalities touching each others' mental and physical charac teristics. Anyone who tries to intro duce a serious subject of general In terest to thinking men ls howled down. Lightness and cynicism are j the rule; sober discussion Io un known ;. thought IB discouraged; con versation, the finest of tho arts, is ! stifled iand perverted. It's a sad commentary, doubtless for the most part deserved. Students do talk seriously at times, in little congenial groupo. but in general lt ls surprising how little the Intellec tual atmosphere. of the classroom is reflected on tho campus or in tho | dormitory. ' In the women's colleges, however, lt is different If women are fae frivolous sex, women students are] not. Girls seem to take their college] education more seriously than boys. They are far more given to dragging facts and theories outside the class room and debating among themselves the problems of the universe. ; And yet men have always been con sidered the philosophic sex. What's the matter, anyhow, with the men's colleges? o\ D?PE Weather Forecast-Fair Thursday and probably Friday. - o : Mrs. T. C. O'Dell has been called to Nichols, ,3.

"If the rural uewBpaper-the country weekly and the small town daily-get behind the preparedness movement and demand action by congress," Blaokton said, "then, we will see an appropriation during this session that will be a good starter. Of courso to get any where wo will need a series of ap propriations-a program for navy and army which, spread over a period of years, will give 1 ua eventually what protection we need. But If the small town nowspapor refuses to call for preparedness, and prefers "pork" in stead, the movement will fall. Thc protection ot America is in the bauds pf'tho country editor." Mr. Blacksion's speech for pre paredness followed the viewing by newspaper men . of the film "Tho Bat tle Cry of Peuce," in which the an ther shows how helpless the United States would bo In case of attack by a foreign foe. New York streets are bombarded, homes are attacked, wo men and children terrified and fath ers taken out, lined up against a wall and shot. The handful of American soldiers are a joke to the Invaders r,nd enemy ships stand off our shores, out of range ot our guns, and batter ta pieces our coast defenses. "Ther,o 'possibilities are not without the baslB of fact," said Mr. Blackton, in his address. "Instead of being a sleep ing filant, we arc a helpless babe, The dream bf universal peace has been shattered by the /European nations and will again bo oh at te red. We have learned that nations Will break solemn treaties when they think- it to their advantage to do BO. The world IB but little different from what \ it was a thousand yyara ago. But we, in the Democracy of the United States, ase full partners. The responsibility of government and. the salvation of. the nation is on every. citizen. Every citizen should be able to transfer him self into, a soldier for the defense of Sis country.
