ONE LANGUAGE FOR ALL

Archbishop Mundelein Of Chicago has ordered that,
beginning fall all the parochial schools under his
jurisdiction shall be conducted only in the English
language.
This a change involving 600 pupils
on account of Chcagos large foreign population,
customary many the parOchiaI schools.
located in foregn settlements teach the children in
the language OF their Thus there Italian
schools Polish schools German schools etc. Now at
stroke all this swept There will still be
language eaching where there is sufficient demand
for but the branches study will be given
in English and every boy and girl will be obliged TO
learn English Immediately directly instead OF be-
ing left to pick II up later
This is gratifying example Of the gospel of
Americanization The first step in unifying diverse
racial elements give them language,
and the earlier in life the process starts the better
the children and the nation Archbishop Mundelein's
action might well be followed in every community
where immigrant citizens tend to cluster colonies
that offer passive resistance to assimilation.

Statesmen Great and Near Great
BY FRED KELLY

ate did not even occur to him. That
came years later. And with all due
respect, few if any of the folks in
Marion, Ohio, thought of him as a
future United States senator.
Yet today, Warren q. Harding,
junior senator from Ohio. comes
nearer looking the part than almost
any other member of that we'll
know and august body.
Sen Harding is tall. large. and
important looking. HIS face is one
of sapience, gravity and authenticity.
1t is cleanly- and unmarried
by whiskers or other blemishes.
Close-cropped hair, prematurely gray
and parted in the middle. or there
abouts, completes the scheme. In

fail 10 pass for somebody in par

agent. a captain of industry. a states
man, promoter, an evangelist, or
leading man. Persons might differ
as 70 just what he looks most like.
but all would agree that he looks
like something.
Harding took early TO politics.
Many years ago he was fred from
a job as reported on a democratic
paper in Marion, for wearing a
Blaine campaign hat-one of those
big, high gray ones. Clear apart
from politics, can we blame the edi-
tor for firing him?
There was another paper in the
town. a little old smeary-looking
sheet. three columns wide, and read
by nObody-nOt even by the proof
reader. Ii was one Of those clandes-
tine dailies. published simply because
the owner is an Optimist and thinks
perhaps il may be a better paper at
some time in the future.
Warren Harding and two others
bought this paper, putting in $500 or
so apiece, and assuming a mortgage
on the rest After a few weeks.
Harding's partners grew tired Of
their publishing and earnestly de-
sired 10 give up their part OF the

\ USE FOR CHERRY PITS.

(Sheridan, WyO., Enterprise
Sixteen hundred tons of cherry
pits, now a source of annoyance
and expense to canneries, can be
made to yield two valuable oils and

ment of agriculture. In addition,

or even into alcohol. A saving Of
these valuable by-products from
cherry canning may make possible
the domestic manufacture of substi-
tutes for almond oil and bitter al
mond oil, now imported, and at
the same time establish a new in
dustry in the crerry packing dis
tricts of the North Atlantic, North
