Of a public school system to democ-

lance Of making all political bosses
whether Catholic, Protestant or
Jews-keep their dirty hands off the
public schools.
Lawyers, doctors, dentists, depart
ment store owners, railway manag-

preachers, newspaper publishers
these have their unions and find
them necessary for self-protection.
Yet not one Of them is so important
to the public as the union of public

ORGANIZED SCHOOL TEACH
ERS.-Of course, it would be fine if
the dirty hands of machine pOliti-
clans could be kept out of the public
school system, but it isn't kept out
and all of us know it. In Chicago
the surest protection against it is
powerful organization of the teach
ers themselves. l have no sympathy
with the argument that public school
teachers must give obedience to
constituted authority" when the
constituted authority is a political
school board. l am not strong for
constituted authority anyhow, unless
it is representative government and
clearly governs in the interest Of the
governed. In the absence of a teach
ers' organization constituted author
ity would probably mean the pOlit-
ical aldermen who had pull enough
to name appOintive members of the
school board, some of whom are ap-
pointed because of the particular by
phen which precedes their American
ism.
As for the teachers Federation be-
ing affiliated with the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, that means, prac-
tically, being federated with the par
ents of a large portion Of the school
children. And it means protection
for teachers, pupils and the public
schools by the largest organized body
of voters in Chicago.
Organized labor defends the pub
lie schools because its members ap-
preciate the paramount Importance

SUNDAY CLOSING. - There
should be no special privilege to viO-
late the law. The Sunday closing
law should be enforced as to all or as
to none. Any other policy will not
satisfy either the Vets or the Drys,
and will disgust those who affiliate
with neither faction. No administra-
ton can get by with policy of Civ
ing special permits to its friends to
violate the law. Every city admins
tration must choose between a state
law, largely made by legislators rep
resenting rural districts, or public
sentiment Nin the city itself if that
sentiment runs contrary to the state
law.
