'GlorY Halleluiahi" |"

GLORY Hallelujah!" exclaimed Senator
Hitchcock, according to press dispatches, when
the information reached him that the president
had withdrawn the appointment over which he
has been fighting the administration.
Whatever "glory" attaches to successful
democratic insurgency, OF course must be con-
ceded to the senator thus scoring great victory
as a champion of the downtrodden people.
But one thing remains to cap the climax.
"Glory Hallelujah" must be written into the
platform soon to be framed and promulgated at
Columbus as the edict and clarion call of Ne
braska democracy.

CELEBRATE IN OREGON.
Fire Prevention Plans Being Carried
Out in All Parts of the State.

PORTLAND, Apr. 1S.-To interest
citizens in the Inauguration of an alert,
widespread movement to reduce the
fire loss in the state, today was Fire
Prevention Day" by proclamation Of
Governor West.
Confronted with statistics showing
that the total fire tax for every Oregon
family amounts to from $40 to $50 an
nually, including the cost of maintain
ing methods of extinguishing, the chief
executive urged citizens to clean up
their premises, inspect electric Light
wiring, gas fixtures, furnaces and fiues
in an endeavor to reduce the hazard.
School children were asked by State
Supt. of Schools Churchill TO explore
attics, cellars, yards and fence corners
in search of infamable materials that
might be removed.
Civic organizations throughout the
state are holding meetings today at
which means of fire prevention are be-
ing discussed.

MANY FAILURES
IN EIGHTH GRADE
DEPLORABLE CONDITION JUST
REVEALED In EXAMINATIONS
IN LATAH COUNTY.
Figures Show That TwO-Thirds of
Students Failed to Pass the
Required Test.

That the parents of children in the
grade schools throughout the county
are largely responsible for the appar-
ent lack of thoroughness in theil
children's common school training
as evidenced by the failure of SO
out of 149 in the recent eighth grade
examinations is the belief of Miss
Catherine Dryden, county school su-
perintendent. Too many parents, says
Miss Dryden, rush their children
through the lower grades without
giving them an opportunity to grasp
thoroughly the work which they cover.
AS a consequence the children come
to the eighth grade tests with only a
dazzling knowledge of the work which
they are supposed to have covered in
the lower grades.
Every year, it is said, many of the
students who secceed in passing the
eighth grade examination are those
who have previously taken the eX-
animation but failed TO pass.
To make an exact comparison of
conditions in the rural schools with
those IN the town schools Of the county
Miss Dryden is planning to work out
a chart showing the number OF fail
ures in the recent examination and
in what school the students belong
The proportion of failures, she be.
lieyes, will be about the same in the
town schools as in those of the coun-
try
In the recent examination the high
est grade was made by Miss Minnie
Oller of Burnt Ridge district. Her
final average was 80 Al per cent. Miss
Manila Hanson of Kendrick, came
second with 92 per cent, and Elmer
Johnson of Burnt Ridge, third with
81 10 per cent. The Burnt Ridge
school is one of the smallest rural
schools of the county, having a total
for the year of but 80
students. All grades from the prim-
lry up to the eighth are given in
tructions in one small room The |
eacher is Miss Pearl Kitch.

DRUNKARDS IN GERMANY.

BERLIN, Apr. 1S.-There are 100000
drunkards in Germany of whom 10000
are women. This was the declaration
made by President Frau Gerken at the
meeting of the Berlin Womens Asso-
citation against Alcoholism. Frau Ger
ken said that there were between 2500
and 5000 women drunkards in Berlin.
Speaking of the psychology of drunk
ards, Frau Gerken said that while men
were fond of noisesome companionship
in drinking, women drunkards tried to
conceal their failing and were addicted
to solitary sprees." In most cases,
she said, heavy drinking among women
was due to sickness, unemployment,
loss of standing and dependency. She
said it was more difficult to cure and
restore woman than man.
