WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Bitter-

disloyalty in the house reached a
climax this afternoon when Repre-

counter.
Norton asked permission to discuss
the house rules committee decision

ball be Jeopardized for Small
Town Foolish
ness

Boys from the senior and junior
classes Of Keokuk high school sup
ported Principal R l.. Reid OF the
school this morning, in his mandate
that there should be no more pennant
fights between classes. The oppor-
tunity came when small pennant'
bearing the senior class numerals
was tied to the new flag pole this
morning, and the pole was smeared
with axle grease. The flag was re-
moved by w F. Butcher. the janltor.
before school opened. but Dr.. Reid
and the boys finished the job. The
offenders were found to be boys out
side of the high school
During the week an attempt was
made by the sophomores to put up
flag. DR.. Reid told the students then
that another attempt would have
serious consequences. This morning
when he, found the pole creased. and
other marks of vandalism ON school
property, he declared that unless the
culprit or culprits were found, there
would be no mass meeting tonight
and no football game tomorrow.
The boys of the sento1eand junior
classes then called meeting and
talked over the matter. In short
time they rounded up a boy outslue
school who confessed to having been
with the crowd that put up the EN-.
blem. He apologized for himself and
for the rest Of the party, and 1t was
agreed to drop the matter for the
present, since all OF the boys con
cerned were outside of SCHOOL, No
members OF either Of the upper
classes were definitely connected
with the incident.
DR.. Reid is holding the school in
probation, however, and the students
have been warned that football is in
jeopardy If there Is any further fool
ishness Of this kind. The boys who
were concerned in the affair were
given to understand that they were
liable for criminal pros solutions for
vandalism and trespass and forgery
and the seriousness Of their predica
ment rather was borne in on them
The loyalty of the boys in high
school to DR.. Reid and the prompt
ness with which they handled the
matter shows that the student body
is against small town stuff OF this
order.
