Children usually act according to the example set by their parents.FRISKY YOUTHK. W. Howe is said to have made the statement that everyone is born a radical, and has to be spanked, whipped and yelled at until lie learns the necessity of conservatism. If he never learns it he is locked up or hanged.Jt is the nature of youth to be frisky. Maturity brings sedateness and flabby self-eorn-piaeeny. The kitten is playful, but old cats never ehase their own tails. A pup will chew up one’s prized hook of essays, but as he grows older, he learns to lie blinkingly before the fireplace. A calf frolics joyously to the utter disgust of the conservative old cow.—William Feather Magazine.Views of Other PapersEHendale Eagle—Practically every checkup on employment reveals that there la a demand for skilled work, rx and that more could be put to work If they were to be had. This means that the general run of the unemp’oyed are unskilled. It also suggests to the j young mar starting out In life that if he wants depend-J able job insurance he learn to do something well. In other words, that he train himself in some useful trade or occupation.Today there is a real shortage of carpenters, machinists, masons, painters, metal workers, etc., and, strange to say, the number of apprentices who are learning these trades are few. Which means there is to be less skilled help the next few years than there is now.| One way to approach the relief problem is to make it possible for unskilled workers to learn a trade. A serious effect of the CCC camp movement is that it takes hundreds of thousands of young men just at the time they ought to be doing apprentice work of some kind so as to be able to qualify as skilled workers and keeps them engaged as common laborers.The CCC camps were necessary in an emergency activity blt;; to continue them longer than necessary is merely to assist in swelling the ranks of the unskilled workers and prepare worthy young men ultimately for the relief lines.THERE SHOULD BE NO JUSTICE BLACKOwatonna Journal-ChronicleMost newspapers of the nation—and the general public—seemingly with complete disregard for their political leanings, republican, democrat or completely independent, are joining in the demand for the ousting of former Senator Hugo L. Black from his associate justiceship of the supreme court. And it appears that there is justice in their demand. For Associate Justice Black is accused—that he is lending weight to the proofs offered by his accusers by maintaining silence in the matter and avoiding with much effort the attempts of newspapermen to interview him and secure clarifying statements from him—of membership and support of the Ku Klux Kian.Isnofar as the Journal-Chronicle can see. It is the right of the members of the klan to maintain their memberships, as long as they deport themselves good American citixens and refrain from some of the acts of which they were accused a few years back, such as attempts to intimidate, threaten and cow Citizens of whom they did not approve. But this history of the klan indicates that it has not always followed the straight and narrow pathway of conformity with the law—and its creeds are such that it can hardly be called completely unbiased. Private citizens may have the right to bias and opinion — but Supreme Court justices have not.Thus, by his memebrship in the organization, an appointee to such an office as a supreme court Justiceship—which calis for a man of fine judgment, completely without bias and willing to give every citizen, regardless of his race or creed, the same consideration—automatically pronounces himself as completely I unfitted for the office. And, if he does not submit his resignation of his own volition, it should be called for by the president.izinjskinpershidethenmac:mailgive.SHOULD GIVE ALL CONCERNLast night at the council meeting Judge Norris Peterson made an appeal for a police matron in Albert Lea.That such a woman is needed is not questioned by those who know the true condition ©f things. Judge Peterson, who handles delinquents in bis court, stated that these offenders were on the increase. In fact the situation has grown serious—not only in Albert Lea but all over the nation. Houses of correction in all states are filled to overflowing—and many new buildings are being erected to care for these young people. And at what an ekpense to the taxpayers!The delinquency, among the girls is growing as rapidly—possibly faster than among the boys. Within the past ten days six boys from Albert Lea, catight stealing cars, batteries and other property, have been sent to the reformatories in St. Cloud and Red Wing. The ages of these boys range from 12 to 19 years.Today, many will agree that the parentsTHE SO-CALLED NEUTRALITY ACT IS NOT THE PROPER SOLUTION FOR AMERICA.Owatonna Journal-Chronicle—It‘s pretty hard to figure out a solution for all evils. Take that neutrality act for Instance. When we got It, it looked like a solution for all evils, a perfect out for this nation, if we wanted to keep out of war and also wanted to play fair with all concerned by giving favors to none.—But when we try to put it into actual practice, we find ourselves helping the side which should, by all the laws of justice—and war as well—be given no help.When the act was adopted, It seemed that it would give these United Staaes a perfect “out from participation in any fracas, yet allow us to secure some of the benefits of trading with warring countries by allowing them to buy our products on a “cash and carry basis. Meanwhile, it would also prevent American ships from taking any risk by denying them the right, or privilege, of carrying goods to a warring nation. The trouble with the law turned out to be that it carried with it the incorrect assumption that, in any war, the two opponents would be on equal footing.But along came this war which was forced upon the Chinese by a Japanese nation, ruled by the army, in order that the Japs might win more land and more military prestige and power. Both nations needed war materials to carry on their combat. If both had the same navy and the same merchant marine the law would have worked without injustice to either. Both could have come over and bought their scrapiron. munitions, etc., on an even basis.Yet the existing situation finds Japan, the aggressor, in possession a powerful navy and large merchant marine, while China has none of either. So. under the cash and carry plan, Japan can come and get all she wants, while China, deprived of the right to order shipments and have them come on American boats, is denied the American source of supply, the world's greatest and the only material one available.—And thus, by application of the law, this nation, its sympathies entirely with the peace-loving Chinese, finds itself actually helping Japan, the well - armed bully and the international robber and holdup man. The law is worthless to America.To be substituted for it should be one denying the right of any aggressor nation to have commerce with the United States. Yet such a law', while more just than the present one. would provide its difficulties, too, for sometimes a fine line might have to he drawn as to which is the aggressor nation, although— what with the merciless bombing of civilian populations and helpless noncombatants, the disregard even of the barbarous laws of war—there seems no possible question of Japan's reddening guilt in thisInofBridi Thes villa! ly enof Itimei has 1 good abouThin tl excli spec: gardN€flshii to bThelakeinchTheiweigcaugthenNexidowers.specphotfromtheiiveritcludisey,Dizz;
