ious intolerance into our public lite
is deplorable and those who are
guilty of it are not true Americans
But the way to fight it is not Dy
the perilous path indicated in these
bills. Forcible suppression only ag-
gravates q disease of that kind.
IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
The Des Moines Register and
Leader suggests that the thing for
the state senate to do is to quit
quarreling with the governor and
set about getting business methods
introduced in the statehouse.
Frankly, we could never see ex-
actly why school teacher should pc
granted a pension any more than
people in many other lines Of work,
although we confess we are open TO
conviction on the subject" says the
Glidden Graphic.
o.
Zone thing is certain, that the
liquor interests of Iowa do not want
George Cosson for governor, where
fore he is just the man we want,
declares the Alta Advertiser.
The Cedar Rapids Republican sug-
gests that members of the legislature
do not all rush forward at the same
time with bills providing that the
membership of the legislature De
cut in half, as recommended by Gov.
Clarke.
THAT nonpartisan judiciary law
isn't worth tinkering up" in the
opinion Of the Council Bluffs Nom
pareil, which advises: KNOCK the
thing into cooked hat and begin
over again."
The Charles City Press thinks the
people and the newspapers are in
clined to expect too much of mem
bers of the legislature in the way Of
'If there were not so many prop
erty owners who are anxious TO
avoid paying their just share of the
taxes there would be no difficulty in
putting the saloon out Of business,
asserts the Washta Journal.
"Housecieaning should begin at
home, and a legislature that is to
win the approval of the state must
itself be free from faint of graft,
insists the Grand Junction Globe.
The Waterloo Times-Tribune sees
little use in talking about cutting
down the legislature because that's
UP to the legislature"
Tie Jefferson Bee holds no brief
for the present system Of state print
ing and binding, but it is convinced
that it is as good, and in many pros
poets better than the contract sys-
tenn.
The Chase bill for narrowing
country highways is Endorsed by the
Sibley Tribune.
Senator Cummins is the only
man that can bring the presidency
west of the Mississippi river" as
the Boone News-Republican sees it.
The Pocahontas Democrat recon-
mends that the "votes for women"
be put up to the women
and if by their vote they
show that they want the ballot, that
it be given to them.
at isn't so much tie kind of
building the supreme court is to be
housed in as the sort Of supreme
court we house in it," remarks the
Times Republican.
eff the legislature is as sensitive
to newspaper criticism as to the re-
marks of the governor 1t can't get 4
much comfort out of life," thinks
the Clinton Herald.

we are called is to attain

AN "Olympic" meet for next year
in the United States is now be
ing talked about. There is no reason
for such a meet. San Francisco is
staging big international sports In
connection with the exposition and
if a big International meet is az
ranged IN 1916 it viii hurt the at
tendance Of foreign athletes at the
san Francisco events Anyway, if
this wal lasts a few months longer,
no athletes from Europe viii be IN
the humor for International sports
for a few years. Better wait and
take our turn in 1920 and then we
can have an Olympic meet that viii
be worth while. Staging one IN 1916
viii only hurt our chances for a big
meet IN 1920.

The Quien Sabe clubs committee in

the present seating capacity Of the
park is woefully insufficient for the

hand next Saturday, so arrangements

Sundays Are Dull
The training camp ball players de-
serve genuine sympathy for their lot
on sunday in the small southern towns.
Everything-except the churches
is closed tighter than a drum. Even
the movie shows do not operate and
the player is hard put TO amuse him
self On the first day OF the week.
AT one Of the camps we visited We
discovered that some Of the bail players
went 10 church so often. not because
they are extremely religious but more
because church attendance made a
change in the dread monOtony Of chat
ting amsng themselves on the street
corner or doing the same thing around
the opea crate fire in the hotel Hobbies.

OF course there are some camps
where the Sunday blue laws are not
50 rigidly enforced. But those camps
are few. In the south they've become
almost IS strict concerning the proper
observation Of the Sabbath as they are
in New England.
Some Of the camps are located near
some lakes that TEEN with fish.
The angler-bau players spend Sun
day in fishing-if the law dosn't pre-
vent it.
Another form Of diversion is o o
and possum hunting. That is done
a. night. Saturday night is about the
only night for hunting because the
hunters rarely return until between
midnight and > p. m, and the manag-
ers wont let their men hunt if they
have training work to do the next
day

Soil Fertility
Feature Of Fair

The problem of the restoration and
conservation Of soil fertility arouses
interest everywhere. New lands for
settlement are about to an end in the
United States. The rapid increase in
urban population means that there
must be an increase in production of
farm products. The problem, then,
which which ccnsffrents the farmer of to-day
is: How to increase the yield per acre
and continue to make profit on the
investment.
The Ohio Agriculture Experiment
Station has been studying the question
Of the restoration and conservation of
soil fertility for twenty-five years.
The results of this work will be illus
trated in the free exhibit of the Sta
tion at the Medina County Fair, Tues,
We'd, and Thurs, Sept. IA, Is and Is.
No farmer in this county can afford
to miss seeing the exhibit. Visit the
exhibit tent early. Attendants will be
in charge to explain the various fea-
lures. Look for the sign, Exhibit OF
the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station.

MEDINA IN LEAD IN
SCHOOL PUBLICITY

More than a year ago the Sentinel
inaugurated a department devoted to
the schools, not only Of Medina viii
lage, but Of the county as well, be-
lieving that there was much of inter
est in school affairs that the people
generally should know, but which
would be somewhat inconvenient for
tiile average person to secure.
It is a pleasure to state that the
Sentinel found County Supt. jerks and
other school officials ready and anxious
to have published everything that
could in any way be considered Of
news value or of casual reading inter-
est. In fact, we believe the Sentinel
was the first newspaper in Medina
county to feature the news Of the
schools in a special department.
In view Of this, the recent report of
w. S. Deffenbaugh Of the U. S. bur
eau of education in report on School
Progress in the Smaller Cities, just
issued, in which he criticizes those
school superintendent who fail to be
frank with the press, will be of inter
est.
Says Mr.. Deffenbaugh:
School boards that are managing
the schools ably and honestly do not
fear to turn on the searchlight. The
sentiment is growing among school
boards that the public should know
how its money is expended. In the
most progressive schools, the board
and the superintendent are presenting
facts to the people either in printed
reports, in newspaper articles or by
both.
" Some school men, however, OBJ
ject to furnishing the newspapers with
school information on the ground that
they are thereby advertising them
selves. A superintendent who was
complaining about the lack of interest
among the parents in the schools of
his city was asked whether he report
ed the progress of the schools thru
the local papers. He replied that he
did not believe in advertising himself.
He failed to grasp the idea that school
news is not for the purpose of boost
ing a superintendent; besides being
legitimate news it calls attention to
the needs of the work of the school SO
that the school may become more
efficient.
q In several cities, as Fredonia,
Kas., there is an educational issue of
the local paper. In some other cities
there are daily school news notes. On
the whole, the public is becoming bet
ter informed regarding the schools
than it was few years ago. The ten
dency is toward greater publicity by
means of printed articles and reports
and newspaper articles.
1t is gratifying to know that Medi-
ma county school officials hold the view
of Deffenbaugh that publicity in such
vital affairs as that of the schools, is
of the greatest Importance.
