After an exhaustive research

After an exhaustive research
we find there is no constitutional
prohibition for an attorney to
render legal advise from under a
bed, but the practice is not in
general use among the best at
torneys. as it detracts from the
dignity of the profession.
The Winslow mail., 1919-02-14

While the lawmakers are work
ing over the laws relating to edu-
cation they should give the law
creating normal school boards
the once-over. What earthly use
are two normal boards to handle
the two normal schools, except
to make the normal schools the
playthings of local politicians?
The normal schools are supposed
to be state institutions, and if
the board consisted of five mem
bers-one member to, come from
each of the two counties in which
the schools are located, and three
members from the state at large
the schools might in time take
on statewide Importance instead
of being local concerns as at the
present time. Under the pres
ent law, with the state superin-
tendent being one member and
the other two members being To-
cal residents in the community
where the school is located, puts
the management and control of
the schools activities in the hands
of local men, who could use their
powers for their own selfish pur-
poses if so inclined. AS an illus
tration Of the working of the
present law it is only necessary
to refer back to the trouble and
turmoil surrounding the Flag
staff normal school the past year.
The base of the whole trouble
rested on a bitter local fight be-
tween two factions seeking con-
troll of the patronage and favor
Of the school faculty and the
scholors. For scholar or teach
err to buy five cents worth of
ribbon or sack of peanuts from
a firm that was not friendly with
the controlling powers on the
normal board was considered
treason and grounds for disci-
pline or dismissal, and this con-
dition will always prevail until
the control is taken away from
the influences of local factions.
There is no argument in favor of
the present law either from the
standpoint of economy or educa-
tional reasons, and there is every
advantage to be gained by hav-
ing one board look after both
schools, with the power located
in a majority of the board who
will not be influenced in their ac-
tions by local factional fights.

Roosevelt Did 1t.
Henry L. Stimson.

Not many years since, when
occasion arose, it was widely as
serted that the private morals of
a public man were nobody's af-
fair but his own. Today it may
be safely claimed that there are
few, if any, constituencies in the
the length and breadth of the
land, with which a charge of fla
grant immortality would not at
once destroy a candidates chance
of election to office. More than
to any other man, | believe, this
is due to Theodore Roosevelt.
From the beginning of his public
career, in season and out of sea-
son, he insisted on common mo-
rality as the prime duty of all
both in public and in private.
Perhaps this, in a measure, ac-
counts for the antagonism of
some pubic officials to Roosevelt.

Senator Smith Offers Seven Proposed
Reservations to Pact-Other
Changes Not Voted on.

Washington, Oct. 3.-At last reach
ing the stage of action in it's consider
alton of the peace treaty, the Senate
swept aside in quick succession SO
of the as amendments which had been
written into the document by the
foreign relations committee.
The smallest majority recorded
against any of the committee propos-
ais was Is, and the largest was %.
All of the amendments considered had
been introduced by Senator Fall, Re-
publican, New Mexico, and were de-
signed to curtail American participa-
ton in European settlement resulting
from the war;
Smith Presents Reservations.
Opposing teXtual changes necessitat-
ing resubbmission to Germany, but
declaring ratification without reserva-
lions to be impossible, Senator Smith,
Democrat of Georgia, got the floor
first and presented seven reservations
to the peace treaty, They should be
adopted, he said, to clear up doubtful
or Objectionable language"
OF the nine amendments yet to be
acted on six relate to the Shantung
section, two propose to equalize yot-
ing power in the league of nations
and one would limit American repre-.
sentation on the reparations commits

DISPUTE IS UNSETTLED
Disagreement Between Belgium
and Holland Still Exists.
Experts Appointed on Controversy
Find interests Cannot Be
RsconciIed Now.

Paris, Oct. 5.-Experts appointed by
the commission examining details of
the controversy between Belgium and
Holland have concluded their investi-
cation and will present their report
when the full committee will meet
The report AYERS that it is in the
interest of Belgium for the military to
use the Scheldt river in times of war,
but it is held that it is impossible
to. reconcile Belgium's claims with the
neutrality which Holland intends to re-
tain in the event of future hostilities.
The experts admit the necessity of
defending the line of the Meuse and
the province of Limbourg, but believe
Jonkheer Reneke vanSwinderen, head
of the Netherlands delegation, will
remain obdurate, and there will be no
practical means by which Holland may
be coerced -
1t is proposed that Belgium and Hol-
land be asked to agree along the fol-
lowing general lines:
First, an arrangement on economic
questions, where agreennentsis pos sible.
Second, Dutch declaration consider
ing the violation of Dutch neutrality
late in October, 1918, when German
soldiers retreating from Belgium
crossed the Dutch territory. Third, a
declaration in which Holland under
takes to ask for immediate admission
to the league of nations.

HE AGRICULTURAL CLASSES .
PUBLIC SCHUOLS AXE NOW
URGANlZED FOX lEAK'S WORh

The, Agricultural classes are organ
ized now with an enrolment OF q
pupils, and few more are expected
soon. Field trips and farm visits are
always a part of the program with
these classes, and are a very neces-
sary supplement in making the class
work most effective. The school auto
bus is being used by the class on
these trips, and serves partly as a
class room besides, for the class is
sometimes held in the bus for u
while at certain locations and recita-
.tions and observations are NAVE.
The Animal Husbandry class IS
now studying Shorthorn cattle, and
the herds of ]. A. Caughren and +.
M. Kennedy have been visited and in
spected, both farms having registered
Shorthorn stock.
While on the Caughren farm the
class was met by Mr.. CatI;hren, who
took them through his large, new
round roof barn, explaining all the
important details of construction, ana
his method of handling his stock. The
barn is certainly a masterpiece in its
class, and the instructor, E. M. Gillig,
prietor favor the class in the way he
was very anxious to have the pro-
did.
Next Mr.. Caughren took the class
down in the barnyard and the herd
was inspected, and the breeding and
type of the individual animals was
discussed. A very fine registered
herd sire, and some very good cows
were to be seen, which are very
typical of the breed. Following this,
several animals We're selected and
held by the halter, and judging con-
test was hid by the class. Similar
steps were also taken in the herd of
P. M. Kennedy-E. M. Gillig.
