RITING from Chicago. J. P.
1, Smetanka, secretary of the
Bohemian - National Alli
ance, writes The Journal
a letter which appears on this
page.' Ie says In part: - '
There is no element "of the Ameri
can . people so keen pa winning the
war In which we" are engaged as
citizens of Bohemian (Czech) descent.
They believe firmly that the war
with the central powers Is a righteous
war; and they believe. In view X
President Wilson's declaration that
no people shall be forced under that
sovereignty under which it does not
wish to live, that the victory' of the
United States will mean the libera
tion of Bohemia from the Hapsburg
yoke and the creation of a Bohemian
republic .
There is no mistaking the drift
of world thought. The whole hu
man race is groping for democracy.
China is fighting in ctvil war for
it. Par away Bohemia; restive un
der the Hapsburg yoke, Is hunger
ing for it. Russia has won it. The
years of bloody sacrifice in Mexico
have been to perfect -and preserve it
Greece Is at the threshold of de
mocracy. In Spain, in Sweden, and
in the heart of Hungary, the fires
are smoldering with a fitfulness
that may burst forth into confla
gration at any moment.
The one dominating thought in
the human mind all over earth
at this time is resistance to abso
lutism. The kaiser over played
his hand when he set out to belt
roads-when . the . Adamsbn 7 elght
hour. law, was pending and' after.
It discloses that those predictions
were pure bunk. With the Adam
son law in full effect, and with ad
vances all along the' line' In the
cost of things required In operat
ing the roads, the net profits are
smashing all past records, with In
dications that they will by the close
of the : year shcrw ; net ; earnings
never before paralleled.
It is disquieting for the hollow
ness of contentions made by 'the
roads to be thus disclosed. The
lines are a tremendous ' and neces
sary, factor 'in the national life.
Their profesclons -and their per
formances should so square with
respectability and high character as
to appeal to the' public confidence.
The conduct of their managing men
should ' be such that their state
ments could always be trusted.
When they go to the commission
and the publio for higher rates, It
should be with clean hands.
Their hands were not clean, as
every new report of net earnings
for 1917 shows. In their late im

The school Is the nursery of

mental , potentialities. ; If men but
v think and are given the power
through training and information
r to think, they will not choose to
1 be governed; they, will elect to
govern themselves. And If they
think and vote as they think they
will govern themselves wisely
With-this as a basis, the possi
bilities of a national Organization
concerned directly and intensively
with promotion of the best schools
and the best training for the
Vi 'schools, are vast at all times. But

j bllltles of such an organization are
tremendous.
Thus, national unity In America
Is on trial. The country is known
to be Infested with secret agents
of a foreign government with which
we are at war. Foreign money
Is, being used to foment disturb
-ances, revolts and violence. Our
fxiational life is honeycombed with
secret intrigue against the pur
poses and plans of our government
In the conduct of the war. Unler
the mask of bettering labor condi
tions, secret Prussian agents are
fomenting strikes in coal mines
to weaken our power at the battle
front.

toecessary to prepare a citizen unl

foreign tempter in such a crisis?
What can the schools do te for
