FIREBUGS UNCHECKED
THE theory of spontaneous combustion
advanced by some of the etliceis of
the State police te explain the continu
ing destruction of bains and harvested
crops in the ncighboiheod of thi city
doesn't carry a convincing eund. If dry
weather and the tonditien of crops in
storage were :cpmible for mere than
thirty fires in tm- region hew are we te
explain the seeming immunity of farm
property in ether paitj of Eastcin Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, where recent
weather conditions havu been identical
with these experienced here?
There is abundant evidence te indi
cate that the destruction of cenly farm
prepeity heicaV'eut is d.ie te .ncen
diarics. The police might as well admit
this. The State ewes it te the farmers
te provide i.ll the additional forces that
may be required te clear up a very ugly
mystery.

A LTHOUGH Mr. Pincliet ha- n.ade no

is assumed that Dr. Clyde I. Kn.jr, chau-

that the appropriations for the nest two

tntien of nrmnments and ratification of
the Washington conference treaties. If
Europe will heed his instructions en
thcic subjects, the Senater from Idaho
is willing te admit that America could
lend n helping hand without fear of cor cer cor
mptien. Wlnle Ins fellow citizens generally are
in no mood te deny this, it is permissible
for some of the number, particularly
these with memories, te question the in
clusion of one significant feature In the
program of virtue. Mr. Berah stipulates
f6r efllci'il confirmation of the arms
t leiities.
Hi- demand acquires special interest
fiern the fact that his efforts te defeat
these pacts in the Senate were vigorous
and spectacular. Te what change of
heait or adjustment of viewpoint Is his
conveislen due? Is It possible for Idaho
as well as Europe te err?
Whe"ier at the cost of consistency or
net, Mr. Berah is new te be found de
nouncing France and Italy for neglecting
te adept a course which he formerly
condemned. Indeed his present attitude
suggests that further revisions of his
original contentions may be in prospect.
It i net entirely extravagant te as
sume that Anieucaii membership in the
anathematized League of Nations might
initiate' machinery for the accomplish
ment of some of the reforms in Europe,
which Mr. Berah considers indispensable
te the welfare of civilization. Is his sense
of world pain sufficiently acute te move
him te further reversals of judgment?
WOMEN AS JURORS
fpHE suggestion that a law be passed
exempting from jury duty all women
who object te serving is made in the
hope that it would remove the reluctance
of women te have their names placed
en the l'st of voters.
In ether words, it comes from these
who think that women should be ex
empted ft em ene public duty becnusc of
their unwillingness te perform another
public dirtv.
When put in this way the logical
fallacy in the suggestion should be evi
dent even te the illogical.
We de net mean te say. however, that
the th.ng ought or ought net te be done.
Jut what obligations are te be forced
upon women, new that they are allowed
te vote, has net vet been decided. Large
numbers of women de net vote. They
ir.si-t that they never asked for the
f-anchi-e and that they were content
w.th the old arrangement. If we may
judge from the registration lists, less
than half of the women who might vote
in this (.uy have nvailed themselves of
the piivileue. New, the practical ques
tion is, Shall these women be compelled
te perierm functions the exercise of
vvrich they never sought and de net
desite?
This is net a question te be answered
ilThand. What its implications are will
become apparent te the Legislature as
s ion a it begins te consider a bill ex
cmpting ' omen from jury duty when
ever ih omen cheese te ask it.

.Much Telh Dancing Still Dene
"A few yenrH age there wui much mere
folk dnncing done than thcrp is at the pres

pspecinll.v engerh. In some ether dtiee folk
dnrulng is mere popular and is indulged In
hv elder person 'e a greeter pxtent than is
the rase here, but this is largely due te che
fact thnt m these dries various institutions
tench it nod encourage it, which Is net the
casfc in Philadelphia.
"But In p, He of the popularity of the
psthetlc ihnre. there is still rnuelr folk
dancing here, although it is net fe popular
as it wus befeie the esthetic dnnce came
te lie se generally understood and liked.
Here as elsewhere tlie veunger people de
net stmt wtth thp pathetic dancing, but
must receive some instruction in it flrHt.
"Much telk dancing is t lse done en the

children te furnish the necessary inusip for
foil dances l!J singing, vvhereni. mere elab

p1av ground. Seme .vears back the elder folk
did much folk dancing, but they hnve new
genernllv changed te the esthetic dance.
The folk diinca was once identified with the

phiee te n certnin extent even here.
Esthetic Dance Mere Difficult
"The folk dnnce is cnBlly learned, but the
p-thetic tlnice does net peiiig even in sev
