WMI It MBM TNAN HIHTY. Becretary Baker has stopped public

work la order to nlltva tha scarcity of labor oa private employment. Tha (itr that unemployment would follow tha return of the soldiers from the »«rvice haa ao tar proved without foun­dation. Labor la scarce. Work Is plany. A atone mason state* that In tha 25 years he has lived and worked In this city he has never seen ao much work &ud such an insistent demand in his traxls. And that se«ms to be the case in all the trade*. Not only In the trades and with skilled labor but aa to common labor. It Is not to be had.

How long it will last may b« open to argument but the condition exists however the theorist* may predict and argue. No man need be without work at high wages for the kind of work he is to do. He may not be able to get just the kind of work under the particular condition* he desires but he can go to work any hour of the day by signifying his readiness. Somebody wants him and want, him quick.

Mr. Baker has done weii to post­pone unnecessary public work until it Ls needed. Work is plenty and wages high. So also are foodstuffs high while vast stores of meats and canned vegetables are being held by the gov­ernment in a time of high, prices and scarcity. Ir Mr. Baker would put those upon the market In the interest of the consumer he might to some de­gree relieve another situation of scar­

SOHOSLST 0ITI2ENSHIP AH0 TRAIRSMB. Vocational training is to he doubled

in Iowa next year by decision of the state board under the Smith Hughes law. This vocational training will be mainly agricultural. Men will be sent to' teach vocationally. Short courses will be offered in educational centers and effort will be put forth tc find bdys and men who are willing to go from the farm* to vocational training and schooling in the winter months.

Sooner or latfer—and the -sooner the better—we shaU put actual vocational and Industrial training into our com­mon (schools in tha larger towns and cities effectively. We are coming to understand that the youth who does not go on to college is entitled to the best we can give him and her to fit them for the future years and that the elemental requisite of citizenship is the ability to earn a decent living. Per­haps, some day we shall teach trades as now we teach bookkeeping in the public schools, or at least afford the foundation of trades which will open the way to a decent job when the stu­dent leaves school for the actual com­petition of living in the world.

So far we have made our training largely agricultural because this is an agricultural state and because agri­culture is the fundamental avocation of all mankind; but we shall need to go mv)fch farther along the lines of vocational training. We shall some day understand that the good mech­anic us as necessary and valuaoie un­der our system of divided labor as the farmer, that one needs and must have the other to create the complement of usefulness. And perhaps we shall real­ize, some day, that a skilled trade or avocation is as much entitled to re­spect and honor as any profession.

The figures of the number of child­ren who enter the grades compared with the number of those who are graduated from the high schools show an alarming latitude betwepn the two. If the youth might acquire the basis of a trade and part of the manual dex­terity needed in its pursuit the num­ber of high school graduates would probably treble.

The University of Cincinnati fcoastfl that it has never turned out a failure. It has a system of two weeks in the laboratory and two weeks in the shop at actual wages. Thus two students make one factory hand at wages. They get an actual try out. If one ha« se­lected the wrong trade he is early ad­vised to change to another where he will be successful. And when he comes out of the school he is fitted not only theoretically hut practically for the work he has chosen. The plan cor­roborates the assertion that this uni­versity turns out no failures.

Getting back to the first principles of citizenship It Is axiomatic that the man who can not dnd does not earn a good living for himself and his fam­ily lacks the primary essential of good

ajiln It to not. wito

lack is In the man himself or in de­ficiency of training. The fact stands. It is a question of plain usefulness to himself and the community.

Arguing from that standpoint the public school training should include that first esmntial of citizenship-training to earn a good living. We agree that every man and woman should have a trade In self protection. Then why not give every child a chance at the fundamental knowledge and understanding of a skilled voca­tion?

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

"If there is a secret agreement be­tween Japan and Germany, it should be brought to light. If Japan agreed to betray her allies by becoming the defender of Germany's interests at the peace conference, that fact should be known," insists the Cioux City Journal. "Japan does not"command the implicit confidence of the world at this time. Her motives are questioned and her sincerity and national integrity are not unquestionable. There is a grow­ing belief that Japan aspires to become the Germany of the Orient, and that in time her ambitions will clash with the -world interests and a war will result."

To the Manson Democrat '"With the boss doing little but watching the hired man and the hired man doing little but watching the boss, American industry appears to be headed toward hell."

"Statesmanship consists in satisfy­ing the fellow who can make the most trouble," defines the Burlington Ga­zette.

"While there .appears to he no de­mand outside the White House that President Wilson- become a candidate for a third term," The Webster City Freeman-Journal fears "the president may be unable to resist the White House influence."

"What is more truly socialistic than a penitentiary?" asks the Mason City Globe-Gazette.

ITS ALL WRONa. [Bugle Grove Times-Gazette.]

Yes, they say« the roaming bands of Gypsies are mora numerous than evet. They go to a town, beg. steal, rob, In­sult everybody by thalr bold and bras-en demands, and then possibly get off with a small fine and "sent on" to the next town, only to terrorize the people in the usual way. This "passing the buck" to the next town is all wrong. The dirty, stealing bunch should either be kept in Mil or given such a stilt fine that they will quit their roaming and go to work.

ADVICE FROM THE CHAPLAIN. [Davenport Ttmes;]

Chaplain A. A. Brown, Just home from ministering aid to the doughboys In France, has reached the conclusion that My Lady Nlpotine is a solace thft should not be taken away. With the saloons closed, and nowhere to go but home, mere man takes a friendly drag at the pipe more than ever. Rev. Mr. Brown evidently had this in mind when he told a Methodist camp meet­ing that the goal of the church should not be to stamp out tobacco, but to start a campaign for social purity.

PRESERVE THEM NOW. [Musc&tlne Journal.]

The summer apple crop for Iowa Is reported to be good. The crop of win­ter apples will be light. The apple Is an Important article of diet. It is best to eat them raw, but a cooked a^l preserved apple Is better than none at all.

Doubtless the winter applc-s will sell at a good price. It may be a pro­hibitive price for some. The modest purse, however, can acquire sufficient summer apples for winter use.

As Is usually the case. l<>wa apples will spoil on the ground fhla year. With the world in dir-i need of food­stuffs, it is indeed unfortunate that valuable fruits should b4 wasted, but if the farmer who looks upon his chard as a nuisance will not give at­tention to the marketing of that by­product of the farm, th*re is little that can rtnnp. A*\a rule, they believe thatlt would be a sacrifice of valuable time to market summer apples.

People with automobile* can play a p a r t i n r e d u c i n g t h i s f a r m w a s t e . Tf iey can secure fruits at modest prices by visiting the farms and doing their own picking.

Folks who havent this accommoda­tion can purchase apples when they glut the market in the late summer, preserve them and have apple pies a^id apple preserves during the winter months at a minimum cowt.

Household economy urges the Im­portance of saving as larre a part cf the summer crop as possible.

WEST BEXTYS "GROTTO." [Carroll Herald.]

Few people know that at West Bend, Iowa, twenty miles west of Emmets-burg, is a work of art worth driving eighty miles to see. Dr. A. Kessler, Dr. F. H. Hillmeyer, Dr. A. S. Gockley and Dr. Car\, Kessler made the trip Sunday and report that the park and grotto made by Rev. Mr. Dobbenateln of the Catholic church at West Bend Is almost beyond description. The park and grotto should be of local interest because of the fact Rev. Mr. Dobben­ateln of this city and because Rev. Mr. stein of this city and because Rev. Dobbensteln has consented to con­struct a similar park on a small scale for the sisters at St. Anthony hospitaL

The grotto which has been four years in the making and is not yet en­tirely completed is built of stone and rocks collected from twenty-six dif­ferent states. The main structure Is of lava rock and stalactites from a natural cave In South Dakota. It is a very clever imitation of nature's pecu­liar grottos often found in mountain districts.

Besiues the grotto there is a mena­gerie and a swimming pool in the park. In the menagerie are ' bears badgers, coons, and a varied collection of fowls, including an. eagle. The

swimming pat* Si halt a Meek tm length. *

Ths work of naktac tka collections and constructing the park was dona by Rev. Mr. Dobbenateln personally He haa received attractive offers from commercial club* In several large cit­ies of t)ie country. Carroll will b« fortunate to have even a miniature artificial park of this sort.

Diotsted But Not Read. Something too much has been said of

Honrj' Ford's declaration that history Is "all bunk"—thnt ho wouldn't give a nickel for the world's cmtput of it An unseemly air of sciolism creeps into bur insistence that we others know the difference between Benedict .Arnold and Arnold Bennete. Those people b«-gia to get upon tha nefves who demon­strate that, when a man admits he is an Idealist' and defines an Idealist-aa one wfr° hats* others to pfoftt, ba Is of necessity' what be was called, an ig­norant Idealist yow muph do wa really know aboot history? For moat of us the child eve of •Herodotus saw its far marvels in vain. In vuin, alas, the conquerors in Plutarch atrode the world, cleaving the way with the sword; in vain his orators and'sena­tors draped themselves In eloquence and flowing robe*. Our eyes have nexer expanded to the dusky splend­ors of the world of frolssart, not all ears have resounded to the booming periods of Gibbon. Let us say In all humility that we are an Ignorant gen­eration, best versed in the art of eoa-cealin|T our Ignorance. But there is one frround on 4rhich wa may fairly claim to be Mr. Ford's superiors.

Having dismissed the historians as liars, ha employed In their stesrd a press agent. Urged on by a soul full of horror at the waste at war and by a heart overflowing with confidence 4n the power of his money, ha employed Mr. Delavlgne to tell the suffering world bow K came so. and what to d« about it. His cootidence that Mr. Delavlgne resembled Herodotus. Plut­arch, Froissart, and Gibbon In no re­spect what ever was ao great that ha paid thousands of dollars for a public­ity campaign and never bothered to read a word of It "He wrote it," said Mr. Ford on the witness stand; 1 didn't read it but I'm responsible for it." We others are wiser than that Little as we consort with the real his­torians, we somehow manage that in a tight ft* we can appeal to them, by chapter and page, thus clearing our own skirts. To exculpate Mr. Ford before the Jury, his learned counsel fell back oil the plea that in his automtt>ile factory, where he himself knew his­tory. he knew every nut Approximate­ly the statement was no doubt true. But when Mr. Ford is m the factory it is subject to an Important qualifica­tion. Apparently he does not yet know himself. If he did. he would no longer subject a great manufacturer, a great creative merchant, a genuine philan­thropist, to the decision of a world

From then until ,hia death at the age of 78, he built up his reputation more and more with each passing year. His work as an old man excels the things he did in the first enthusiasm of youth or even the maturity of middle age.

Which, however little.lt may know of historians, is well aware of the foibles of press agents. |

It has been ot^r custom to explain the Ford phenomenon by relating it to the early days of our democracy when men were, in their outward lives and their inner abilities much mora nearly equal than in this age «f specializa­tion—an age when the only recognised difference was the power to make money. Primitive Americas democrats, we are told, believed that all men were equal exttept the one wj^o had made his million. iHe could do anything, and especially sit in the senate. Some such era once existed, and its traditions linger on. tho feebly. But la ascribing Mr. Ford to tt we do it Injustice. The great men of those times, when they were ambitious thought first of edu­cation. While they pored over Black-atone, they somehow found time and tallow dips to read the Bible, Plutarch,, Shakespeare. Not JUncoin aVons »»rcte, the Gettysburg address. In its flaw­lessly apt use of simple words, in the marvelous variety and beauty of Its cadences, the. bible, Plutarch, and Shakespeare ltve again.

Mr. Ford Is a product of our own age of specialization^ In his little field he Is past master. As for thfc world without he "can find out all he needs to know about that from a sal­aried in five minutes." And so we have the spectacle, gigantic, col­ossal of a maker of cheap automo­biles undertaking to regenerate the world by means of a press agent. And we have another spectacle, rather mln-ature, yet not without its pathos, of a worthy man who frankly admits bis error as far as he sees it and la aagry and grieved by turns that mem greet his good Intentions with roars of laughter—New York Times.
