To the Editor OF the Elmore Coun-
ty Republican, dear sir:
Since the last school election We
have had absolutely nothing to say
about SC o i or scLoo. affairs. We have
accepted in silence, all those articles
appearing in the mouthpiece of the
! School Board, such as The SNOWFALL
of Scandal" that funny little would
| be poem, Known When You're
Licked" and many others, not be-
cause we have given up the struggle
for an honest and economical admini-
stration of our school affairs that
would appeal TO the taxpayers for
!, ther support, but because the friends
/ OF the Old members of the board saw
| fit at the last school election i'm the
interest of MIR. AXE succeeding himself
to put forth the proposition which they
worked to finish, that the retire
ment of Mr.. AXE was a scheme of
G. e. Corker's concocted three years
ago to attack the school for political
purposes; and that if Mr. AXE was
defeated the fight would be carried
this fam to the county officers and
that there would be clean sweep
made at the coming election (and
by the way, that argument united the
county officers nearby to a unit for
MIR. Ake.)
AS the effort started three years
ago had no sinister motive back of it,
and was purely for a fair, honest ad-
ministration, fairly and honestly ac-
counted for, We concluded to post
pone further action or comment lex
ceptlng the appeal OF the District
Court case to the Supreme COURT
until after election, and should have
abided by that decision were it not
for the article in last weeks Ell
more Times" entiaed, No Vans at
tuesent," calcuiated to give the i'm
pressIon that the taxpayers were OPP
posed to voting the necessary money
tor running the school or bringing
IN the outlying children, which is not
the case.
1t is true that the patrons and tax
payers of this district at the last
election refused by an overwhelming
majority to vote special tax; DIT is
also true that at the election two
years ago they defeatd special tax
by an overwhelming majority; it LIS
likewise true THAT they overwhelm-
ingly defeated the special tax three
years ago, and it is just as true that
they defeated the pet scheme Of Mr..
Axes and Mr.. Warmers two years
ago, by an overwhelming majority, to
purchase misShapen piece OF ground
ror a school farm containing less than
three acres at a price to the district
OF $4200.00. (
These things being true, the Oregon
Short Line who pay two-ritths of
the taxes" should be our friends and
by the bond of unity of purpose are
our friends. We are not going to fawn
over the railroad company nor pre-
tend that our struggle was due to
the amount of taxes they have to
pay, as most of us are short-sighted
enough to think that the more the
company pays Is just that much
clear gain, not realizing that the COM

very appropriate reading What Is
Home Without a Bible" was beauti-
fully rendered by Miss Helen Bart
mess
Just at the close of the Sunday
School service we were surprised and
delighted to see coming into the church
Bro. Fowke, pastor of the Baptist
church at Hamburg. Bro. Fowke had
been delayed behind wreck and
forced to spend Sunday morning in
Dermott. and of course we did not let
the opportunity to have him preach go
by unnoticed Bro Fowke gave US a
a very practical and helpful discourse.
A large audience composed of Metho-
dists, Baptists, and other communl-
cants. non-sectarians, Jews and Gen
tiles was present in obedience to the
Presidents proclamation to assemble
at church, October /, and pray for
peace. Our service was well described
by our good Jewish friend, Eli Dante,
who said that he attended worship in a
Methodist church. and heard Jewish
sermon by Baptist preacher. 1t was
all only beautiful illustration of the
growing unity and brotherhood of man.
In the afternoon we had good Ep-
worth League program which was fol
lowed by very interesting lecture by
Mr.. Willard of India MIR. Willard
told of his exciting and awful expert
ence when captured by the Nagas a
wild tribe of head hunters who inhabit
the border land of India and Thibet.
At the evening service we had an
other expression of the beautiful con-
cord existing between the churches of
our town, when the Presbyterians dis
missed their evening service and came
to worship with us. We were delight
ed to have them with US. And here
let us say that we were delighted to
have Bro. Haney returned to Dermott.
The action of the Presbytery in re
fusing to dissolve the relation between
the local church and Bro. Haney as
pastor was entirely Methodistic and
proper. Pastor.
