XT7ITH the boys and girli starting; for school and college, we
" wonder, it it wouldn't be a good idea to diicard lome of
the dead lang'iBges and substitute a compulsory course on clear
and independent thinking.
For clear and independent thinking is, after all, largely a
matter of habit. And habit is a matter of carlv training. As
one looks into the future, particularly the future of this
Democracy, nothing appears more neoessary than this quality
imbedded in the warp and woof of American political and social
life.
IP WE could turn out every year, from our schools and col-
leges, an army of young people, who had acquired this rare
habit, we could have no better insurance against the downfall
of our form of government, and
For the great danger of this
deplorable weakness of this quality and attitude of mind, on
the part of the rank and file. There is so LITTLE clear and
independent thinking. So much that passes for thinking is not
thinking at all, but merely the blind acceptance of opinions,
bred in an atmosphere of prejudice and passion,

and an important place,

ability to think clearly and independently, we would not worry
about their faint knowledge of
Greek and Latin.
For education is primarily
prepared for life, means to be
place in life.
And nothing is more vital toward this end, especially in a
Democracy, than the ability to think clearly, and form one's
opinions, in that atmosphere and ON THE FACTS, regardless
pf what other people way think
With our eduoational institutions turning out such a leaven

Don V Blame the Politicians!
THE people of this country as a whole, are sick of professional
politicians and tired of partisan politics. They are weary
of the hokum and hooey, that oharacterir.es political campaigns,
and long for a period of reason and common sense.
They blame the politicians, failing to realize, that NOT the
politicians but they THEMSELVES, the people are to blame.
All this whang doodle and blah-blah, is put out by the rabble
rousers, for one reason and ONE REASON ALONE. Because
the people fall for it, or auffioient number to make such
nonsense, politically profitable.
Let the people as a whole, once acquire the habit of clear
and independent thinking, of seeing through the camouflage
of noise and fury, and discerning the realities behind it and
this "hoop er up boys" flim-flam, will disappear over night.
. But not until the people the rank and file DO THAT, will
it disappear.
CO political reform, like qll oth'er reforms in a Democracy,
depend in the last analysis, solely and exclusively upon the
people themselves. We can have clean politics and good gov
ernment, the moment the people acquire the capacity to distin
guish between what is REAL and what is UNREAL, between
what is TRUE and what is FALSE, between what SOUNDS
good, and what IS good, and NOT UNTIL THEN 1
So wo return to the proposition above, the crying need in
this community, and every other, of clear and independent
thinking. Once get that, and most of our political troubles end.
We acquire good government, the only way it can be acquired,
by producing a body politic, capable of knowing good govern
ment and demanding it.
Roosevelt and the Klan
TT have received a scare head pamphlet, in a plain envelope,
with the following banner;
"GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT JOINED KU KLUX KLAN
TO SECURE GEORGIA VOTE."
In the four pages, there are letters, affidavits and statements,
all calculated to show that the democratic candidate secured hia
endorsement in the primary of that state, by playing in with
this ancient, and almost forgotten, secret order.
The Klan is not an issue in this campaign, here or anywhere
else. Religion is not an issue this year, thank the Lord!
Tet because the Klan WAS an issue, J2 years ago, and also
an issue four years ago, some unknown man, or group of men,
are trying to revive it, this year.
'T'O us, such an attempt appears contemptible and absurd,
as it does to all fair minded people-but it doesn't so ap
pear to some of the politicians, and the deplorable thing is, judg
ing the present by the past, they have the better of the argu
ment. WHY? Once more we return to the text of today's dis
course. Because so many people don't think these things out
olesrly, in the excitement of a presidential campaign they
don't think, they feel, and therefore respond to ancient preju
dices and passions, and vote tmoordingly,
Too bad, too bad I '
But there is one hopeful sign. Study the political history of
this country, and one will find, that today there is more clear
and independent thinking on the part of the electorate than ever
before. It's a ilow process, at times a discouraging one but
experience is a great teacher, and as time goes on, there is
reason to believe we will eome closer and closer to the demo
cratic ideal.

The Cortes,' Spanish parlia
ment, takes a vacation after
working steadily for fourteen
months. It hss been a busy ses
sion. ' The grandees of Spain,
who would have thought it
could never happen, have lost
their lands, psrtly because they
would not sympathize with the
revolution, partly because they
are grandees. The order of
Jesuits, wealthiest and most
powerful in Spain, has been
suppressed, and all of its pro'
perty that could be found, in
eluding all real estate, confis
cated. Other church properties
have been seized and vested
rights of clergy taken from
them. This is all in accordance
with usual revolutionary prac
tice, as ip France 135 years ago,
and recently in Russia.
In the upheaval, Catalonia
has won her autonomy, as Ire
land got hers in the big war
crisis. Catalonia, like Ireland
has been fighting and weeping
for centuries. Catalonia 's
"wearing of the green" song
was "Weep, Weep, Catalonia."
Many tell' us 'that our kind of
olvlllaation, or "Industrial exploita
tion," a some call It, la nearlng an
end.
Stuart Chase, forceful, Intelligent
young man, who wrote good book on
Mexico, tell you in his book, "A New
Deal," that "drastic revision of our
entire economic structure' is neces
sary. Also, says he. "We are living
on our economic capital, where other
ages have lived on economic income."
Our children will have a bitter bill
to pay.
No worm of the 'dust should con
tradict a deep thinker, but to one
auoh worm, hope appears without the
unpleasant necessity of tearing every
thing to pieces. We may be living
on our capital, but It 1 not exhausted.
Last week the government asked sub
scriptions to seven hundred and fifty
million of treasury notes at three

is NO LIMIT to what this nation

things:
First, replace covetous neat with

desire to render public service.
Second, Instil honeety, by fear or
coaxing, In public officials.
Third, make the people take an In
telligent Interest In their government,

Fourth, and most Important, solve

her debt to France, two thousand five
hundred million franca, about one
hundred million dollsrs, borrowed of
French bond buyer, about one year
ago. The British, taxed for this psy

bitterness, that money lent to France
by Englishmen, when the franc waa
worth more than nineteen cent, wa
repaid In franc worth lee than four

for grown men and women to retail?
Especially the one about the family

Impressive If It had been some strange
dog. perhaps a rather mad one with
foam on hi mouth and fire in his
eye and all that sort of hokum. But
to ascribe any such congenital defect
or abnormality to the affectionate
gesture of the faithful old dog Is
well, It goes to show how much these
superstitious people will strain the
fact to make a story, a story cruelly
and viciously calculated to keep Ig
norant expectant mothers In a con
stant atate of anxiety or terror lest
some such "marking" occur to them.
Only Ignorant people take such
superstition serloualy. If our com
mon schools properly taught our
youth then every schoolboy and every
schoolgirl would know aa much aa I
do about such matters and no pros
pective mother would ever worry a
little bit about the "marking" super
stition. It Is not only people who say "they

Japan ha prepared a treaty with
the new state of Manchuria, called
Manchukuo, In It new self-governing
clothes. Japan'a cabinet has approved
It, and her "heaven-born" emperor
will do the'eame, sine his army ap
proves. Wise mlkadoe keep close to
their armies giving them the final
decision, for they are, to modern em
perors, what the samurai, "two-sword
men," were to the nobility of ancient
Jspan. When you hav a powerful
army on your aide you are safe against
the riff-raff.
China rage, aa the League of Na
tion, which forbade Japan to make
a separate Japan-controlled nation
of Manchuria, rages also. But raging
does no good In the face of determi
nation. Japan, making a royal Chinese
vanchu boy her "ruling" puppet In
Manchuria, then politely bowing to
him a to an equal, merely copies
the respectable ancient idol makers
that carved out their Idol, from wood
or stone, then bowed before It.

Answer-Many children have worms,
whether they have any symptom or
not. careful investigation ha proved
that gritting the teeth In leep la as
likely to occur In children who have
worms aa It la In children who have
n't worms. The grinding of the teeth
may be due to local Irritation which
call for the advice or services of the
dentist, or to some reflex Irritation,
for Instance Irritation of th bladder
by excessively acid urine, which calls
for the advice of the physician. Some
