Judging from the actions of the
Board of Trustees of the Y. M. C. A.,
the members of that board do not CO.
incide with the views of the Board of
Education as expressed in their find
ings in the hearing of Prof. M. Jay
Flannery, whom it was charged lacked
in the proper spirit of patriotism and
loyalty. The "'Y" Board of Trustees
at the meeting Monday of last week,
elected Mr. Flannery educational di-
rector for the peroid of one year. 1t
is said that the election of Mr. Fllan-
merry was by unanimous vote. We are
glad to note this broadmindness on
the part of the ''Y" board in making
this open expression of confidence in
the loyalty and patriotism of Mr..
Flannery. We believe that a rank in
justice was done Mr.. Flannery by the
Board of Education in its decision
against him. At the time of the hear
ing many prominent and influential
citizens appeared before the board or
Mr.. Flannery's behalf, but received
only a cool reception. Somebody sim
ply started something against Mr.
/ Flannery and was bound to go through
with it. 1t was the unanimous opin
ions of all present at the hearing tina
it was a very 'cheesy" affair. Th'
action of the -" board of trustee.
simply places Mr.. Flannery right anc
is commendable.

If there is irregularity in any o.
the city or county offices and the ta2
payers are being made to pay tht
freight, we think it is our duty as {
labor paper to let the laboring class
know what is going on. Working mer
who own their homes are taxpayers
just the same as the manufacturers
and the business men, and when ir-
regularities occur, as they have beer
exposed in our courts in the past few
months, it is the working mans af-
fairs, and he should know something
about. If irregularities in the county
infrmary exists, and jury says they
do, then the working men as taxpay-
ers are getting stung and they have
q right to register their protest

There is a heap of work around
