read a letter signed by Charlotte C.
Rhodus, president of the Woman's
Party of Cook County, and Jenny N.
Maegerlein, secretary, stating that
a resolution of the members Jan. 5,
1917, made these points:
Three public schools have been
named in honor of physicians. Dr.
Murphy was a supporter and believer
in the Roman Catholic parochial
school.
eve protest against the naming,
of any public school in honor of any
person who favors Roman Catholic
parochial schools.
"All public schools should be nam
ed after the district in which they are
located and, in this instance, the new
school should be called The Grand
Crossing School This is our sug-
gestion to the board. We trust it will
be favorabH considered"
- A personal letter from Mrs. Rhodus
over her signature. as the Woman's
Party president was read by Sec'y
Larsen. It attacked the Chicago
Teachers Federation as "the largest
and the only body of paid public offs
Gals allowed to organize politically
and still hold their jobs" It was al
legged to be San influence for evil,
destructive to all rightful authority
in the public schools"
For several years have been in
close touch with public school af-
fairs wrote Mrs. Rhodus, and I
have observed the relation of the
Teachers Federation to the board of
education and the growth of its dom
mating political power over the
teachers, the principals, the superin-
tendent of schools, the board of edu-
cation. the members Of the city coun-
ell and even over our highest city and
state officials"
Attached to Mrs. Rhodus' letter

"Only small-minded people would
find fault with the plan to name a
school after DR.. Murphy in this COM
munity where he had spent his life.
When l was abroad l found Protest
ant and Catholics united in their love
and admiration for this surgeon and
I believe this community should be
equally broad-minded.
For the first time since Jake
Loeb became president of the school
board, the religious issue has Ieaped
from the ambushes where it has OPP
Grated hitherto and is now more in
the daylight and closer to the middle
of the street where everybody can
looksat it.
DR.. Peter C. Clemensen, school
trustee who backed up Jake Loeb's
attack on the Teachers Federation
June 81 by voting for Loeb's decision
to drop 6S teachers without notice or
trial, is serving notice on the Jake
Loeb organization that he will stick
to finish for his resolution to have
the new Grand Crossing school nam
ed after DR.. John B. Murphy.
AS a member of the Guardians of
Liberty and a frequent speaker on
the need for "AmeFicanism" in the
public schools, Dr.. Clemensen be-
came known as an enemy of the
Teachers Federation. Later he
served notice that he regarded Jake
Loeb's wholesale dismissal of teach
ers without trial or notice as too sud-
den, amounting to wrecking of civil
service and being in reality an attack
on the whole teaching force and the
public school system instead of an
attack on the Teachers Federation.
This split with Jake Loeb has been
further widened through the attempt
Of Clemensen to have the Grand
Crossing school named latter Dr.
Murphy.

Wednesday morning of last week
Hon. Arthur Gum, we'll known and
prominent resident of Wenatchee, was
found dead under his automobile neal
Orondo, a point on the Columbia river
some twelve or fourteen miles abOv
Wenatchee. Mr.. Gum had left home
quite early in the morning to go to
ranch he owns Is miles north of We
natchee, a trip he had been in the hab-
it of making quite frequently. Just how
the accident occurred is purely mai
ter of conjecture, based on the tracks
left on the road, but 1t is supposed
from all indications that he was travel
ing at a high rate Of speed when the
car struck sand, skidded and topped
over, catching the unfortunate drive
across the head. From all appearances
death must have been instantaneous
The deceased has for number OF
years been one of the most active and
progressive citizens Of city that has
a reputation of possessing more wide
awake boosters than any place of its
size in the west. He always took a
leading part in civic affairs, was the
successful promoter of numerous ac-
tivities that have been potential fac
tors in the upbuilding of his home
town, and enjoyed the confidence and
respect of the entire community in
which he lived. The death of Arthur
Gum is an incalculable loss to We
natchee.

c. C. Dill has flooded the district
with copies of his speech in opposition
to entering the war. Mr. Dill exercises
the franking privilege granted con-
gressmen to send broadcast a speech
that the Kaiser should pay him we'll
for uttering and distributing. And, by
the way, in this hour, when congress is
devising means to put crimp into ev-
cry line of business by piling on ex-
cessive war tax, congressman like Dill,
hollow in the head and devoid of any
spirit of patriotism or loyalty, do not
restrict themselves in abusing this
franking privilege that costs the post
office department more money than
1t does to handle the second class mail
matter. If these congressman were In
earnest in their effort to cut down ex-
penses to meet the necessities of a
condition of war they should show a
desire to practice economy by refrain
ing from using their Thanking privilege
to excess. But will they? Not on your
life. If extraordinary expenses of war
Is necessary they believe in letting the
other fellow do the paying.

Within week two residents of We
natchee have been found dead along
the public highways pinned under
wrecked automobiles. In both in
stances the victims were travelling
alone, and in both cases the presump-
ton is that the drivers were travelling
at dangerous speed. There are many
auto drivers who are afflicted with the
speed bug, and feel it necessary to hit
up the old machine the moment they
strike a piece of good road, and the
rate some Of them travels is only con-
fined to the capability Of the car to get
over the ground. Such drivers are con-
stantly inviting disaster, and it is
simply miracle If they do not finally
meet with trouble. And the pity of it is
that these speed maniacs do not learn
caution from the fatal accidents that
are reported almost every day.

1T RINGS TRUE.

We are abusing no confidence by
publishing the extract below taken
from a private letter written by a
young man who recently offered his
services to his country as private.
The sentiment expressed has the ring
of true metal, and should be the senti-
ment animating every citizen in the
land. 1t makes us proud of the Amer
lean boy, who feels that If a country is
worth living in 1t is worth fighting for
The high and holy principle expressed
should put to shame any man so lost
to honor and loyalty to country as to
harbor a thought against the land in
which he lives:
This war has resolved itself into a
fight of the free peoples of the earth
against autocracy and the threat oil
might. 1t is as truly war for freedom
as was ever fought, and that is what
makes it worth while. Men never be-
fore had a finer opportunity to back
their ideals with action, or to give all
they have to give for a magnificent
cause There Is a certain emulation
in the very thought Of this great oppor-
tunity."
1t is to be hoped that the speakers
who address the public on the 4th OF
July will cut out the buster, buncombe
and balderdash so common to the
American speaker 1t is not necessary
to tell the public what great country
this is, or what wonderful people the
Americans are That has been hammer
ed upon our tympanum for years, and
is cheap rodomontade. This is not 0
season for exalting people who have
made good in the past, and who We
are satisfied will make good in what
ever position the exigencies of this
times may place them. Let us take il
for granted that the people Of today
are worthy of the generations tina,
have done their part and gone before
and let it 60 at that The American Is
rather prone to feel tickled by exag
gerated praise Of what he is, or wha
he thinks he is, the cream of the earth
and it is a weakness to throw oul
greasy tiles in the air and voice lout
acclaim when the impassioned orator
with slight idea Of modesty, spreads i
on as thick as mud. We have reasons
to feel proud Of accomplishments o
the past, but Americans are yet to b.
tried in the crucible Of fire that ha!
aroused admiration for the self-sac
rifice and heroism of the people o.
France, England, Russia, Italy, Ger
many and Austria. That our own son!
and neighbors will uphold the tradi
lions of the country when it comes t.
the supreme test no one doubts, bu
let the record be made through deed:
and not words. This is no time fol
boasting. The country is facing ser
ious test, more serious than the ranl
and file of the population realizes, ant
the ability of Americans in this fear
full hour to make record with those
who have already and still are passins
under the rod can only be weighed
and measured by concrete perform
