Selling School Bonds at Home

A number of communities have re-

the public authorities have in quite
a few cases found themselves embar-
rassed by an oyersubscription of their
issue.
There is no valid reason why com

tise an issue and dispose of it at one
sale without the necessary detail

many small sales of 800 or $500 or
$1,000.
The local sale of school bonds
opens up an opportunity for most
deserving class of investors. They
have been well called Savers" be-
cause the sums (ranging from $500
to $1,000 which they have accumuat
ed. are the small surplus from mod

much self-denial and careful econo-

school bonds-be open TO this class
OF people just as it has been open TO
the rich investor or the wealthy
bank? Certainly the saver can
much lees afford TO lose than his
more fortunate fellow.
The successful sale OF school bonds
TO small investors is mat or OF cdu.
cation. Money which now draws two
or three pr. cent. in lae savings bank
or the postal bank, remains where 1t
is for yeas. simply because of Tic
known safety of these institutions
and because even the most ignorant
foreigner has confidence in them
Still a savings account is no safer
il as safc--as school bond and is
no more easily accessible. If tho poo.
pie Of a community are once made to
understand that the school bond is as
safe as the city itself is, that it will
bear rate OF interest of four. four
and one-half, FIVE per cent, or even
higher. and that it can easily be sold
for its original value. they will not
hesitate to buy all that the school
board will offer them.
IL must not be forgotten that there
is a great value to the school system
in the small local investor. The man.
or woman. who owns school bond
will inevitably be friend Of the
schools. Ho viii be directly interest

The vote in the United States SEN

the appropriation foc the river and

republican senators led by Burton of

have had in 1t some measure of party
animus, the existing situation

MINISTER SEEKS AID
OF STRIKE-BREAKERS
Rev. Edward Gallagher Will Enlist
New Choir at Ryland Church
for Faster.

Rev Edward Gallagher, pastor OF Ry-
land Methodist Episcopal Church. whose
choir struck last Sunday under Ihe lead
crship OF the organist, Miss Mary L.
Brewer. because the singers believed they
had been unjustly rebuked for whisper
ing, yesterday inaugurated campaign
to enlist a new choir for Easter services.
Rev. Mr.. Gallagher has been informed
that neither Miss Brewer nor any member
OF the choir will fuliIl their regular du-
ties while he is in the pulpit, and in the
hope of preventing a mar Of the Easter
services the pastor has appealed TO all
members OF the congregation who can
sing to enlist in a new temporary cnoIr.
He declined last night to say what
success had attended his efforts, but II
is known that he appealed to scores OF
church members who he believes are In
sympathy with him. II is the intention
OF the pastor to have twenty choristers
in the choir gallery Easter morning.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Gallagher has
abandoned his plan Of asking for the
resignation OF Miss Brewer. Members OF
the official board, il is stated, would
frown upon the pastors request that
Miss Brewer resign. Charles W. Bohan-
non. a member OF the board. yesterday
asserted that II Mr.. Gallagher had not
announced his intention OF seeking new
pastorate, the preacher himself would
have been asked to resign.

Censured as Result Of Lobby
Investigation Report.
MANUFACTURERS ALSO SCORED

To dispose OF the long controversy as
to whether Representative James T. Nc
Dermott, Democrat. Of Illinois. should
be expelled from the House as result of
disclosures by the House lobby investiga-
tion committee last summer, the House
Judiciary Committee yesterday recon-
mended that he House pass resolutions
censurinG Mr.. McDermott for 'acts OF
grave improperly unbecoming the dis
tineuis position which he holds" and
condemning the conduct OF officers and
agents of the National Association OF
Manufacturers for lobbying"
The report names j. Phillip Bird. John
Kirby. jr.. president Of the National
Manufacturers Association: James A. En-
cry. its counsel. and NJ. NJ. Mulhall as
guilty OF improper and reprehensible
lobby activities and systematic, secret
and disreputable practices against the
honor. dignity and integrity Of the
House of Representatives.
The AcDermott case has been sleeping
In the judiciary Committee ever since
the special lobby Investigation committee
made its report to the House last Decem-
Der, in which Il practically white-wsshed
all the members OF the House mentioned
In the lobby investigation. except Mr.. Nc
Dermott When that report was made,
Progressive members OF The House sought
to have Mr.. McDermott unseated. but
failed.
The committee also recommended the
passage of bill TO regulate lobbyists by
keeping public record of all persons ap-
pearing here for the purpose of influenc-
ing legislation. and providing fines and
Imprisonment for persons assuming such
a role withou: conforming TO fixed regu-
lations.
When the report of the committee
reaches the House. which will probably
be next Friday. 1t IS possible that a mo-
tion will be made for the expulsion of Mr.
McDermott and lively fight is expected
TO ensue. The report of the committee
practically puts II up to the House to
decide what shall be done with Mr.. Nc
Dermott. and leaves the House free to
do Anything from expeIling him to mildly
censuring him.
