THE AMERICAN PRLSS ASSOCIATION
Is There Conspiracy Against
Father?
There is increasing discussion and
alarm these Jays over the increase
ot undisciplined and wayward child
ren, especially around the age of 14
to 16 or 17. In every city the cases
in court against children are increas
ing until children's courts are becom
ing as important and conspicuous as
the police courts.
All over the country the papers
are carrying stories of daring hold
ups, daring burglaries, desperate
daylight bank robberies and the auth
orities say that the criminals are
mostly young men who were only
boys a year or two ago.
Mernard I. Fagan, chief probation
orticer of the city of New York, has
prooably had to deal with more bad
Doys and girls than any other man in
America. He says that the whole
trouble is in the home and he blames
mother because she insists on hav
ing the whole say about the children
and resents dads interference. In
fact, Fagan charges that there is a
conspiracy in the great American
home against father. His deduction
is that if father watched the child
ren more if mother and father CO
OPERATED in the bringing up of
the children there would be fewer
wayward young men and women in
America today.
It is a great problem. But we do
not join with Fagan in his finding
against mother. Of course she is the
one who has to take almost exclusive
care of the youngsters during the
tenderest years, and the thing be
comes habit with her.
It is for father to diplomatically
butt in at the right rime. If he does
n't he cannot escape the blame later
on.
It Makes a Difference
The National Civil Service Reform
League has issued a statement pro
testing against the ruling that the
first three names on the elligible list
must be submitted o the Postoffice
department after examinations have
been held to fill vacancies in offices
of the first, second and third class.
It doesn't take much under a Re
publican national administration to
set the National Civil Service Re
form League going. While a former
president of the league was engaged
in emptying the postoffices and other
public places of Republicans, and
"getting rid of" Republicans as rural
carriers, city carriers, fourth class
postmasters and in other places sup
posedly covered by the "merit sys
tem," this organization kept a dis
creet silence. It was not moved to
protest when President Wilson "fir
ed" the Civil Service Commission en
masse for criticizing some of Post
master General Burleson's manipu
lations of the "merit system." Pre
sumably the organization was deter
red by the fact that one of its long
time members and leaders was bus
ily engaged in handing out more pat
ronage than any three of his prede
cessors ever had to dispense with
less attention to anything but partis
anship than any President since An
drew Jackson. Now that a Repub
lican President is now in power we
may expect that the National Civil
Service Reform association will be in
a constant state of eruption, however
far the administration may go in up
holding the "merit system " The or
ganization is interested primarily in
the protection of the interests of a
public already suffering almost be
yond endurance from the axactions
of the professional bureaucracy built
up under the federal "closed shop."

We all know what friction does
it wears holes in our clothes; it wears
away stone; it kills friendships, sep
arates families, ruins the best plans
of man. Vet here are the two lead
ing figures in all the world friction
ing away to a fare-thee-well genera
tion after generation.
You would think intelligent men -oh,
yes, any men above the savage
mind would realize after a very Jew
years, the disgusting foolishness of
friction in the thing that affects them
most. But not Capital and Labor.
Brains and the fruition thereof mean
nothing to them. They'd much rather
fight like a lot of naked savages on
an ant hill in Africa.
How long will it be before they
use a little Intelligence in making
the most of the gifts that God has
placed in the world for mankind to
grow comfortable and contented and
rich on?

The Most Pressing American
Issue
Why is it that democracies will sit
on volcanoes and only wake up when
the explosion has arrived.
Pernaps it won't do any good to
say again that the United States of
America is sitting on a volcano full
of race trouble. But it is a fact.
We think few whites have any real
hatred of the colored man. On the
other hand the colored population i.
seething with a feeling of enmity
against the white race that is daily
becoming more bitter as it is fanned
and fanned by propaganda of the
worst sort propaganda scattered
broadcast by some of the educated
and more intelligent of their race.
Particularly is this so in the cities
where the common topic of conver
sation in the negro settlements is
revenge against the whites for real
or imagined wrongs.
There are more than ten millions
of colored people in this country. It
is only fair to say that the vast ma
jority of those millions are law abid
ing, decent people in their walks of
life. There is, of course, great ig
norance among them, and ignorance
is not a good condition when smart
agitators work upon it.
Among ten milions of people any
where on earth, there are great num
bers of reckless criminals and des
perate deeds of negro criminals are
increasing just as they are increas
ing among the whites. The mass of
whites, however, condone no white'
criminal's act. But sad to say, there
is much condoning of negro crimin
als among the ignorant colored. This
support has been largely the cause
of the terrible race riots in certain
American cities. And have you no
ticed that each succeeding race riot is
worse than the one before it?
The race question is the greatest
issue in this country today. The
white people have been longest out
of barbarism; it is up to them to
begin something that will result in
the solution of the dangerous situa
tion now existing in our midst.
Prune Root Borers Active
Where the prune root borer has
not been dug out it should be at once,
says A. L. Lovett, O. A. C. Experi
ment station entomologist. A pre
ventive wash should be applied be
fore July 1. Use quick lime 8
pounds, lead arsenate 4 ounces, salt
2 pounds, and Black leaf-40, 4 table
spoonfuls, with enough water to
make a thick paint. After remov
ing the soil 3 or 4 inches deep from
around the crown of the tree allow
the remaining soil to dry and paint
the bark with a stiff brush. Treat to
about 16 inches in height and then
replace the soil.
$83,000,000; No Claimant.
Uncle Sam has $83,000,000 of
some people's money waiting in the
Treasury for them to come and get
it, according to the latest official fig
ures of outstanding temporary Lib
erty bonds. This sum represents the
interest due holders of temporary
Liberty bonds who have not exchang
ed their bonds for permanent coupon
bearing securities on which the reg
ular interest is paid. The figures
show that there are 7,471,171 sep
arate temporary bonds of various de
nominations, amounting to $1,132,
730,200, still in the hands of them
for coupon bonds. Against these
figures on the Treasurer's books
stands $83,165,867 interest money
that bond owners have not yet claimed.

Road dust, carbon, fin metal particles and other

The gritty oil circulates through your engine,
impairing its performance, and ultimately leads to

These important instructions are often disre
garded; cleaning the crankcase is a job generally
disliked.
To meet this need, Modern Crankcase Cleaning
Service has been established by first-class garages
