WESTERN ELECTRIC. - Those
Eastland suits, though civil actions
brought for damages, may prove
valuable To fix personal RESPONSE
bility for that terrible July "A Of last
year would be almost impossible.
There is one artificial person, a cor
poration, however, which had a hand
in the EastIand affair. Its course
from start to finish was marked by
evasion of issues and suppression of
facts If the damage suits show up
the sytem of the Western Electric
Co. and its iTOn-handed feudalism
those suits will be doing a public
service.

HE PUBLIC FOkOM
SCHOOL BOARD WAR. - The
controversy as to the management
of the schools has become so COM
piCated that even the Clearest brain
may become confused and fail to
reach a just conclusion.
Religious, racial and political pre-
JUDGES are involved and few can es-
cape the influence of one or the 9TH
er in forming an opinion. If it is true
that the Roman Catholic ecclesias-
teal organization is seeking to Sc
cure temporal power, by the aCquis-
itiOn Of wealth and the control Of pO-
litical action and educational ma
chinery, it's purpose cannot long re-
main concealed. Time will reveal it
and a people schOOled in seIf-gOveTn-
ment may be trusted to deal with it
as it deserves.
If the charge is true the way to
fight it is openly and abOve-board,
giving to the people the evidence of
the facts, not in the way of obscure
insinuation, but the facts and the
source of the information with the
people who are ready to establish the
truth of the charges.
If the interests of big financial,
commercial and manufacturing con-
Germs are seeking to dominate edu-
cationaI institutions for their own
benefit, let the light shine upon the
facts, let everything be revealed, so
the people can act intelligently.
Nothing good can come from appeals
to prejudice. One thing seems to be
certain. Wherever government at
tempts to do anything, in order to be
successful it must make a monopoly
of the business. So, if it is a funC-
ton of government to educate the
people, all private educational insti-
tUtions should be prohibited. The
line between public and private bus
mess must be clearly drawn and the

Gen. Scott could not grant so much

mand would be modified and that
Mexico will come far enough to guar
antee no further outrages along the
Mexico border II Is not TO be expect
ed that the troops will be brought
out until such assurance Is giycn.
The representatives on both sides
claim to want to do the right thing,
and II is believed that the reported
loan Of 100000. 900 by New York
to the Carranza government will put
Mexico In humor to make such con-
cesslons as will bring peace and good
will and help to get Mexico back to
