The recent fourth as celebrated in

Williston can well be proud of. We

every fourth with but a few people

great crowd in the city there was not
a single arrest made or even an ex-

TIONAL ASSOCIATION DECLAR.
ES THAT A GREAT FORCE

St. Paul, July 6.-"Given a culti-
waited, trained teacher of sound mind
and body, who goes to work at peace
with God and man, the school will be
the best place in the world for, the
growth of the child in practical right
eousness and American citizenship"
This declaration of Joseph Swain,
president of Swarthmore college, and
president of the National Educational
association, was made at the first gen.
eral session of the associations an
nual convention here today.
The session was devoted principally
to discussion of teachers relation
to American citizenship.
Secretary Durand Springer said
that the registration indicated rec
ord breaking attendance at the con-
vention this week, which is expected
to be one of the most important ia
the point of actual accomplishments
in the history of the association.
Interest in the election of president
to succeed Swain is at high pitch The
campaigns Of DR.. D. B. johnson of
Aockhill, s. c., and DR.. Davir Starr
Jordan are being carried forward by
the friends Of the candidates in q
lively fashion.
President Swain's addness followed
speeches Of welcome, by the Mime

st. Paul and the response of *. 2.
Snyder Of Greeley, Col.
A telegram from President Wilson
to President Swain expressing regret
that public duties made it impossible
for him to attend the meeting, was
read. President Wilson said in part:
Thoughtful people all over the
country are following the delibera-
tions Of the National Education asso-
citation with genuine interest. The
problems of education are really
problems affecting national develop
ment and national ideas. think that
no one long associated with the pro-
fession Of teaching can have failed to
catch the inspiration Of it, or to see
how great power may be exercised
through the class room in directing
the thinking and the ambition of the
generations coming on, or can have
failed to realize that nothing less
than a comprehension Of the national
life is necessary to fit teacher for
the great task of preparation and
adoption to the future that educa-
ton attempts"

In spite of certain valiant support
offered night policeman Fred Kahn at
the council meeting Monday, sew
en- Councilmen voted FOR decency
and suspended the Waterman from
further service as a peace officer I'M
til he has met the charges filed
against him in a petition for removal.
The petition was filed last evening,
and the charges enumerated against
him are as follows:
Drunkenness while on duty.
Sleeping for several hours on diff
ferent occasions in livery barn while
on duty.
Sleeping in an automobile on the
river front while on duty.
Permitting a man to abuse and ply
sically mistreat woman on the street
without offering to interfere until re-
quested to do so by other spectators.
Conduct unbecoming an officer in
walking the street with two different
negro women and accompanying them
home.
Proposing to fellow officer that
they take alternate turns at sleeping
while on duty.
Publicly Boosting that he would rot
arrest or interfere with any man he
caught in the act of breaking into a
Frisco freight car in his district.
Boosting that since complaint had
been made against him by Caldwell

no dissatisfaction had been expressed
inc to enter their store.
Threatening to do Sam Sherman
physical injury for filing complaint
against him to the city council.
Maliciously and premeditatedly as
saulting a citizen while on duty.
The petition was filed by Richard
w. Frissell and when read to the
council, Mayor F. A. Rage promptly
announced that the matter could not
be disposed of at the meeting, and
that Mr.. Kahn must be provided with
copies of the charges, and notified of
the time that his hearing would be
held.
When one of the members asked
whether or not the Board could sus-
pend the accused officer pending the
investigation he was advised that such
power rested with the Mayor alone,
and that if he cared to do so, but that
nodissatisfaction had been expressed
bv the business men and he did not
care to rob them of a Waterman with
police authority.
He further stated that if the char
ges were true, Mr.. Kahn should be dis
charged as soon as possible.
When City Clerk George Chappell
looked up the ordinance concerning
the length of time to elapse for hear
ing after complaint was filed, he read
that part which provides for suspen-
sion by the council at the time of
filing the petition.
The motion of Councilman Hoellcr
that the hearing be set for next meet
ing, and the clerk instructed to give
due notice, was carried
Councilman Black then made mo-
ton that Officer Kahn be suspended as
a policeman until the charges filed
against him have been disposed OF,
was seconded by Councilman Kaess.
The vote was taken by yeas and
nays and resulted in seven favoring
the suspension, and one dissenting
vote cast by Councilman W. H. Med
ley.
Kahn walked his beat during the
night, perhaps for the last time as an
official policeman in the city Of Cape
