will vote on the proposition in June.
The Pennsylvania legislature has
passed oil making it obligatory
upon teachers in public schools to
read ten verses from the Bible each
school day Any teacher who fails
10 comply with this provision is
liable to dismissal.
Chief Sebastian declared that
Through suffrage recognition of
police women in Los Angeles had
been obtained aud crime had been
materially reduced. Suffrage, he
added. "had helped to break down
the false modesty which had pre-
vented public DISCUSSION Of sex pro-
blems." The Chiefs chose Grand

Onicial returns from the local Op.
ton election in Livingston County,
outside Of the city of Chillicothe,
Tuesday, give the drys n majority
OF 700. The election was called on n
petition presented to the county
court by the vets in order that the
election might be held before the
county unit law goes into effect.
Chillicothe has seven saloons. The
election was held May 7 last year
and the town went wet by small
majority.
The canning Of beer or the use OF
other irtOxicauts In National Guard
armories throughout Missouri is
prohibited by an order issued by
Adjt. Gen. O'Meara. There are
about 60 armurics affected. The or
der follows: "Thc keeping or use
OF Intoxicating liquors Of any kind
in any armory used by the National
Guard OF Missouri on the part of

prohibited. The commanding officer
of the organization by which such
armory is used will be held respous-

Missouri took another stride to-

Nevada, one OF the few remaining

cast out the saloons by majority
of eighteen votes. The Nevada To-
cal option combat was the last of
twelve elections called since the
first of the year to be held before the
county unit law goes into effect June

remarkable succession of victories
the "drys" ever have won in the
state. They came through without
losing once. More than n dozen
towns and small cities that have
been wet since Missouri became u

Ex-Governor Burke's appointment
TO y. S. treasurer is causing d grea,
deaf of comment in the papers Of the
northwest. Most opinions seem to
be based OH the idea that Rurke has
been properly taken care OF by the
administration. tut to us It seems
like a substitute had been given him
for a cabinet position. such rs he
was entitled to. To The News Il
seems that If the Wilson admins.
tration can be criticised 1t can In the
case Of tho Burke appointment. There
not one out Of 30 who know "otf hand
who was the treasurer before Burke.
To think that admirers OF our favorite
son, who is presidential timber, can
be satisfied With a mere subordinate
joE is absurd. Burke is drawing
$4,000 yeal and that Is all there is
to it-except that politically he is nil.
