ON "THE LAST LONG MILE."
Fifteen thousand veterans of the (i'ran4 Army of
the Krpulilic have rathere.l at Dea Moines for their
annual reunion. Not many mm of thene meetipk
Ail 1 helil, because, an toM in the newt column:
"There mm IDO.ooo of them left, an I ih y era (
Ins at the late of J.oou a mouth. Two thousand into
Jlio.Uurt. 3; tunes; Sj month, t ynars and Ihey t ill
b gone."
And whu will begrudge these men the rent they
are mov.ng to? Iown "the luat long mile" they
travcly trudge, (raving behind them a record un
quulie.l in t.ie world. Ai boyi they dared the peril
and privations of an awful war. It wu to preserve
the Union they fought, and, when that victory had
been won, they put the fume zeal and energy into
making that Union greater and stronger.
A wildernesi waa conquered and made serviceable
to mankind; great problem of politic and industry
have been worked out, and civilization ha been act
Ahead in marvelous stride since, these boy came
liome from Dixieland in '00. Live of usefulness, are
drawing to a cloic, but the record of the Grand Army
of the Republic growe brighter with each day. Not
one of those veterans should approach his final rent
with any apprehension ns to tho perpetuity of the
Union he preserved and guarded. He will leave hia
muLerinl possessions behind him, and he may rest as
sured that his spiritual bequest will be none the lens)
gTStf fully and reverently received.
The Spirit of '76 did not die when the last of the
Revolutionary veterana answered tha roll call "Over
There," and the Spirit of '61 will survive the Grand
Army. A nation regretfully look on as the pathetic
remnant of a once mighty force moves slowly in re
view, but that nation has not forgotten what that
treat gathering of devoted men stood for. It is or
dained that men shall pass, but the unquenchable fire
of liberty and patriotic devotion to the ideals of free
men remain. And veterans of the Grand Army of
the Republic have a pledge from sons and grandsons
of fculty to the flag and faith with the fathers.
make further reduction in representation of the 10
state. The resolution was presented n th con
vention floor and adopted. In Incumber, pursuant
to the convention resolution, the national romtnittet
reduced southern representation tu 111 vols.
Nebraska's national committeeman has b.en given
an active part In the counee! cf the party. In lull!
he was appointed a member vt the executive com
mittee of the committee, lie was attain appointed in
191ft by Will H. Hays, and reappointed in VtiO. Hia
constructive work on the committer hut won rout
tmndation from party leaders throughout llir coun
try. That Nebraska republicans ar upptrriativr of
his party ervc is evidenced by the fact that when
his present term in that position rxptret he w ill have
served 12 year.

A generation ko a tlioug'itfu! ir.un emitted a

Many ways for dealing with thee pent have been

them from appreciating any of thu ordinary method

while the victims usually ure loth to reiort to tho

The aspiration of the mikado, whoso object was
"to make the punishment fit the crime," might in tlm
instance of the railroad detective who locked a pair
of handcuffs on woman friend at tho depot and
then took a train out of town because he had loot the
key, be brought to full fruitage by manacling him to

at least have opportunity to think up a new nutlet
for his bubbling sense of humor.

CO-EDUCATION UNDER FIRE.
If there is one thing that is generally considered
settled in this age of doubt, it is the question of the
advisability of co-education. Yet this query haa been
raised in St. Louis. The high school girls there have
teen brought under fire for dressing as if they were
going to a party instead of for study. The critics
assert that the.desiro to win admiration from the boy
pupils is responsible for this, and that furthermore
there are too many social affairs springing from the
elosc association of the classroom.
The Woman's Chamber of Commerce took up the
question of segregating boys and girls in separate
high schools and has now voted 28 to 21 in favor of
co-cducation. It was found that Louisville and New
Orleans still maintain separate schools for boys and
girls, and that Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and New
York practice segregation in a few instances. Else
where co-education is the prevailing custom.
That it is good custom, too, is felt by anyone
who has gone through the public schools. Tho spirit
of comradeship between young persons of both sexes
is a wholesome thing. Tho association is broadening,
also. Modem education hns more than the single aim
of extracting knowledge from books. Children must
learn also from life. To segregate one from the other
is to hamper their human understanding and to em
phasize distinctions that are more properly elided.
The problem Is not one of "puppy love," but of com
panionship. This is pretty largely a matter of ideals. The
school can do something to the end of keeping school
companionships wholesome, but the home can Oo
more. There are schools where the pupils overdress
and turn their minds too much to good times. There
are others where fashion calls for scholarship and to
fail in a course is cause for shame rather than for
boasting. The same ditTerences exist also in schools
attended only by girls and in those others, chiefly
privately conducted, that are reserved for boys.
Co-education Is not a failure. It Is surprising that
the vote of the Women's Chamber of Commerce
should be so little in its favor. Character building
does not rest on isolation from the world, but on de
veloping the ability of the young to meet life square
veloping the ability of the young to meet life
aqua rely.
NOW THE "ROAD MOPE."
Every man's hand is against the automobile speed
er, and rightly. However, talk is rising agn!nst the
motorist who moves at the other extreme the "road
mope," his critics call him.
A good many accident renult from one (fir at
tempting to pass another. In congested traffic sonm
timid or leisurely motorist may find himself at the
head of a line of a dozen other who are in more or
less of a hurry. One by one these will cut in ahead.
Perhaps a fender will be scraped, a light broken, or,
if it is on a heavily traveled country road one or
tha other may have to turn into the ditch to avoid a
collision.
Those who complain of the "road mope" declure
that the pace he sets is responsible for increased con
gestion and for all the accidents that this brings
forth. They claim that if he would jog along' at a
faster, though moderate, rate the dangers of traffic
would be reduced. This is something of a new ilej
it may be only an tffoft of fast drivers to shift blamo,
but it at lcat deserves consideration.
HOWELL'S NATIONAL INFLUENCE.
As republican national committeeman from Ne
braska R. B. Howell has served his party faithfully,
and largely through his influence and efforts trouble
some questions have been eliminated. When first
lected national committeeman one of the most vexa
tious problems was that of inequalities In southern
representation in national convention.
As a result of hi tireless work the weight of
southern representation in republican national con
vention hss been reduce.! from 21-15 per rent in
191S to 10.00 per cent in 1!20. This mean that
South Carolina, a an example, will hive but four
votes in the net national convention. In 1916 South
Carolina hal It although only 2.r00 ballots
ete cat for Chsrlcs Hughe for president. Mi-mhs-aippl
has b reduced from SO vote in lyll to four
vole In th conventiun, and other similar re
duction have ben made.. The nith i only rn

"THE FREEDOM OF THE STRAITS."
Between Chanak and Gallipoli the straits of thu
Dardanelles are only a mile wide. Such u short dis
tance separates the Turkish army from a return to
Europe. The cavalry of Mutapha Kemal has drawn
close to the British camp at Chanak, but he is appar
ently awaiting a hurried international conference
instead of attempting to force a crossing into the
fertile pluins of Thrace.
The peace of the world hangs at this turn on the
success of the French envoy who is hastening from
Taris to Asia Minor. The hasty action of Premier
Lloyd George in inviting the British dominions n
well as Rumania and Jugo-Slavia to a new war has
been followed by calmer treatment of the crisis. If
the Turkish hordes, eager for reoccupation of Con
stantinople and Adrianople, can be held in leash, pa
cific diplomacy may discover a means of settlement.
From the distance of America, the solution of
the problem of the freedom of the straits appears
to lie in the direction of the complete international
ization of the shore line. Developments testify to the
complete failure of (he European policy by which
each nation seeks to outwit the other for the sake of
I gaining private advantage, irrespective of the general
j result.
"The freedom of the straits," which lor the mo
ment constitutes the main care of Great Britain, is
a slogan capable of two definitions. In time of peace
this narrow waterway leading from the Mediterran
ean into the Black sea is free and open no matter
who is in control. The controversy now concerns
their control in time of war.
The world well remembers the disastrous attempt
of the Anzacs to force a passage of the Dardanelles
! in the world war. Lloyd George remembers, too, and
the erection of the neutral zones along tho straits
was designed forever to prevent this route to Con-
stantinople and southern Russia being Worked by
land armament. On the other hand, France, Italy,
i Russia and Turkey know full well that if there are
no forts guarding this entrance the control of the
! straits will pass into the hands of the British navy,
j To Russia, freedom of the straits signifies the ex
1 elusion of warships from the Black sea, whereas it
j is only fair to say that British statesmanship seen in
i the freedom of the straits an opportunity to extend
! its sea power. The French take a look ut Gibraltar,
I then turn their eyes to Suez, where England like
wise holds the Mediterranean outlet. Then they view
the Dardanelles as another instance in which the
domination of trsde routes is about to be taken by
their late allies.
Such Is the situation toduv. Lloyd George'
threat of military action fell dead on the ear of the
liritinh people, who are tired of the bloodshed an 1
eot vf corflict. Wrat will come is beyond prediction,
but the eventual solution, ai'lo from the ipofitioo
of the Turk in Europe, mut depend on whole-nouled,
untelflsh and enlightened international cooperation.

are two classes of students In
schools and college those who are
(rolnir of their own free will and
desire, to learn, and those who aro
sent by ambitious parent to have
knowledge pumped Into them.
Many of the colleges are being
almost swamped by the number of
application they have had for Ihe
past year or two. Where formerly
any one who desired could enter theso
Institutions, now thiH place piek
end chose between students, and
.lie undesirables have to go to less
known places.
Some colleges now require letters
of application from those desiring
entrance, and from the statement
of purpose therein contained It de
cides whether the student want to
come and burn or are merely being
railroaded through by parents. Tho
latter class are turned down.
There are many student who at
tend educational Institutions of their
own free will because they believe
that In some mysterious way educa

weary feet to the class room with
indifference, nnd they atudy Just
enough to get hy. If they can find

help them coach up for their

their parents and the community a

these advantages. Tho community
provides these facilities at great

should cheerfully pay the difference.
