THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make small
town a great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
"fddlers," but they cannot make
small town great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of statesman Is to construct,
and that 1t is better for man that he
should build public highway than
that he should become Governor of a
state, and that he start pillow than
that he become the author of a law.

'MISSHAPEN MENTALITY"

Tuesday we received a Okla cir
cular, which besides some matters
of only local interest to voters of
The Dalles, Oregon, contained two
letters of interest to this COM
munity which are here given ver-
batim:
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1915-06-26

en- mentality prevents their un'
derstaAding such a character
as possessed by !. B. Warner
The letter written to |. B. War
ner by Mrs. Cowen, ex-clerk Of
the Board, asking what raise, il
any, would induce him (Mr. War
ner) to return, and the reason
given for writing it, ("because
so many wanted Warner back
were neither of them written
for campaign purposes in Idaho,
though they may have been good
stuff to feed to the voters of Dis
trict No. IL in Oregon.
The statement that Superintend
ent Warner was always reelected
here by a unanimous Board and
held such a contract from this
Board when elected to- a position
in the Dalles is a falsehood pure
and simple.
Since the defeat of j. d. Whit
son for reelection and the cleo
ton of Mr.. B. p. Thompson to
his place ON the board, Mr.. War
ner was never reelected by amy
vote other than that of F. P. AXE
and Kittie S. Cowen. On Mr..
Thompson's election to the school
Board he was persistently urged
to vote for Mr.. Warner s re-elec,
tion ON the ground that it was
necessary in the interest of har-
mony in the school to have War
ner elected by unanimous board
Mr.. Thompson told Mr.. Warner
that he could not vote for him
that he had heard too many com
plants against him to do so; I'M
til he had had an opportunity to
find out for himself, if the peo-
pie making them were in error or
not; which opportunity from the
fact of his living several miles
out of town he had not had; but
if he found, as he became more
conversant with the school affair
that Mr.. Warner was right and
the people were in the wrong he
would gladly make his election
After one year on
the board, when Mr.. Warner again
asked for his support, Mr.. Thomp
son told him he was farther then
from voting for him than he had
been the year before.
But then, the statement that
he was always reelected here
by unanimous board was in
tended merely for the voters of
District No. II, Oregon and not
10 be used in any Idaho campaign.
. If it were necessary in the in.
,erest of Mr.. Warner to show
he voters of District No. II at
The Dalles, Oregon that this
school was not over-stocked when
Mr.. Warner left it, would it not
lave been more consistent to have
ent to those voters a copy of
he inventory made at the close
# Mr.. Warner term, and have
ct those voters decide for them
elves whether or not it was over
II under stocked instead of say
ng that the school was not over
locked on any article save one,
nd having Mr.. Whitson sign that
tatement? Mr.. j. D. Whitson
vas defeated for reelection on
he Board by Mr.. B. P. Thomp-
on in 1913 and he has not since
cen on the School Board. Why
J he in a position tocertify as
D the supplies in the school? We
re at a loss to understand why
should be necessary at all to
nlighten the voters of District

ition or amount of our school |

| Members The Board of Educa
ton, The Dalles, Oregon:
AS there seems to- be some mis-
understanding relative to Mr.
Warner, / wish to state that hi
is in no way connected with my
resignation nor did he advisemt
to place my resignation in your
hands. | want you to feel that
Mr.. Warmer has been extremely
opposed to this action, and must
not be held responsible.
While | regret that my resigna
ton has been ill-constructed, and
hastily placed in your hands, ]
hereby ask that my revocation OF
reinstatement be considered.
When requested by two mem
bers of the Board to fulfill my
contract, | have been ready and
willing to do SO. All that desire
is that my resignation be with
drawn.
In addition, | with it to be dis
tinctly understood that l do not
ask for reelection. Further Mr..
Warner is not to be held response,
BILE for my reinstatement, neither
does he place himself in a positiO
of recommending me.
Sincerely,
April 5, 1915. H. M. MONROE.
With the letter of Fl. M. Mon
roe we have no concern and only
publish it here as Mr.. Monroe
was here under Mr.. Warner and
left when Warner did. The let
ter signed by one member of the
present school board and two
past members of the board, we
believe it only fair to point out
some of the inconsistencies and
errors therein contained.
The statement "Mr. Warner
never ordered anything unless di-
rectly instructed to do SO by the
Board" is, to say the least, incon-
sistent with the statement of Mr..
Warner made at the annual meet
ing in the assembly room in the
school house, when the school
board, composed then of the three
members who signed the above
letter, were censured for itemiz-
ing in their annual report of ex-
items as small as $4,000 |
for insurance, and Jumping incl
lentals, etc. in one gross sum of
b1933.9O.
Mr.. Warner arose in that meet
ing in defense of the board, and
'aid: "The sum for incidentals
will be more in the next report,
or the reason that | order what
need for the school without con-
iulting the board. For instance,
ince that report was made
lave ordered hundred towels
# which the Board knows moth
n.y."
Of course it was very magnani-
nous of Mr.. Warmer to come to
he assistance of the Board when
n explanation was needed, and
is likewise commendable in
he Board to come to Warner
but the two state
tents do not harmonic; but !
hen, one was made for election !
imposes in Idaho; the other for !
lection purposes in Oregon. And
it not little inconsistent with
lie facts as they exist for Messrs. [
Ike and Whitson and Mrs. Cover

sr's opponents here were from

Mountain Home, Ida, June Is
1915.
Mr.. S. Bolton,
The Dalles, Oregon.
Dear MIR. Bolton:
Through Superintendent War
ner we have learned that some
unprincipled person in Mountain
Home is endeavoring to injure
him in your city.
Superintendent Warner was at
the head of our city schools for
nine years. All of that time
Mrs. Cowen was a member of the
board, and nearly all the time
Mr.. AXE and Mr.. Whitson were
members. At no time during all
these years was there the slight
est difference of opinion be
tween Superintendent Warner and
the Board.
As to his taking money from
any teachers agency We know
that statement to be false, as
when the emergency arose which
necessitated securing a teacher
from an agency, the Board and
not Mr.. Warner, secured the
teacher, and the fact of any money
being exchanged exists wholly
in the mind of some evil think
ing person who knows nothing
whatever of the true facts.
The same is true relative to
school supplies. The Board in
nearly all cases purchased these
supplies directly and themselves
audited and paid all bills. Mr.
Warner never ordered anything
unless directly instructed to do
so by the Board and then the bill
was sent directly to the Board.
Superintendent Warner was
always reelected here by a unani-
nous board, and he held such a
contract from this Board when he
was elected to a position in The
Dalles, and it was with much re
greet that he was released.
During his nine years stay here
this Board found him at all times
an honest, upright, clean, hard
working superintendent, capable
in every way, and fearless in &C.
ton regarding all questions re-
garding right and wrong. This
fact alone has made him some
enemies here among a class of {
people whose misshapen mentality
prevents their understanding such
a character.
The clerk of the Board Mrs. i
Kittie s. Cowen, did write Mr..
Warner letter asking what in I
crease of salary, if any, would in t
duce him to return. This letter a
was written by her because so i
many people had asked for Mr.. t
Warmers return, some Of them a
being among the number who had
been influenced against him by t
false reports. D
All accumulations such as books, g
sharts, chairs, etc., which became is
worn out past repairs, were or Il
Tered destroyed by the Board A
md Superintendent Warner in tx
tructed to see that the janitor O
attended to the same. n

Tn an exciting game witnessed by best lightweight teams that has been organized in the city defeated %N1e Seasides at Seaside park yesterday, ' to 0. The Seasides who had been touted as city champions before the game by their many followers, could not solve the formations and trick plays that Captain 4Gaynor called his men to execute. Time after time the Seasides had the game in their grasp but due to the great playing of the Crashos,, could not gain at opportune moments.
 Too much credit can moi be given Art Johnson, who gameIy played al- though crippled by the 1ameness of his 1eg- He triedi two drop kicks and missed by a margin of inches His picking up 9 tumble. and sprinting 25 yards4to a touchdown brought home the bacon and the money.
 Crashos. being heavily backed by their followers, played as they never did before.
 Of the many stars who. excelIed for the Crashos the playing of Jim Carroll. who carried the ball through a broken field, was a treat to watch. Connors of the winners with Griffin, seemed to be everywhere to the be- wilderment Of the opposing team.

AGENT DECLARES PRATT & WHITNEY
 STR KE STILL ON
5ltaled Mechanics will Not Go Back Unless Eight-Hour
 Day Is Granted.

" Larkin. business agent of the International Association of Machin- Ists. speaking of the strike in Hart lord, at sthe plant of the Pratt & Whitney cofnpany, said, as the result Df this strike Bridgeport is enriched by many first class mechanics who have come here from Hartford, be- cause of the eight hour day, and high Z er wages with better conditions.
 Mir. I.arkin continued.
 ..In reply to a statement going the rounds of the press, that the strike at the Pratt & Whitney Co., of Hartford, Conn. had been called off, let me say that. it is an absolute falsehood.
 This was nothing but a trick upon the part of those who tried to use about six men, by getting them to- gether and having them vote to call the strike off. so that this could be given to the Associated Press and thus give the wrong impression to men throughout the country. It was hoped through this method t9 induce men to come to Hartford and act as strike breakers.
 Let me say that the strikes for the eight hour day in Hartford wifi never be settled until the shorter work day is granted and when any settlement is thought of the fifteen hundred men that are working in Bridgeport and other places will have something to say about it and they are. just as
  the few men that stayed in Hartford, and these men will not return to Hartford until this s1~strike is settled, but on the other hand, more men are leaving Hartford and if the nanufae- turers of Hartford want to retain theie skilled workmen, they will have wiI have to decide to meet them as men and be willing to take up their grievances and to grant them as good conditions as they can find in nearby towns.
 T hope that no one will be deceived by the false reports that have been sent broadcast through the country about the situation in Hartford. for the strike is on in full and very effec- tive force and any one that comes to Hartford will be met by a very strong froee of pickets. who will Immediately inform all of tue fact that they are very determined to win the eight hour day.
 sIn conclusion ! will say that there is Just one way in which skilled ne- chanics can be induced to return te Hartford. and that is for the manu- facturers, to grant the eight hour day.''
