San Francisco, chairman of the COM
mittee that went to Washington
under direction of the convention.
Spirited Debate Follows.
This declaration resulted in a sharp
debate by delegates. 1t started when
T.. =. Gaynor of the letter carriers
asked If Postmaster General Burle-
sons order applied exclusively to tel
ephone employees, and added that he
could see no reason why all postal
employees should not be given the
same rights as had been granted en-
ployes of the telephone system.
Mr.. Mccarthy said that necessarily
the principles in Postmaster General
BurleSon's order must apply to every
other organization under the Post Office
Department.

Not Regarded as "on Trial"


In answering the contention of Miss
Wood that she did mot know when
she was summoned to q conference
with members of the school board
that she was to be put on trial, the
board states that 1t did not consider
that petitioner was on trial or being
investigated in the sense that said
terms are used in the said organic
law and rules. but regarded this as a
proceeding under rules IS. 50 and 70,
as elsewhere in this answer more
fully referred to-
The answer admits that "the action
OF the board undoubtedly will consti-
tute in some small measure, at least,
an injury TO the professional record
of the petitioner and some bar to her
advancement. and properly SO. How
serious such injury or bar would be
depends almost entirely upon her
own conduct and attitude in the
schools In the discussion and han
ding of revolutionary and dangerous
doctrines.
Parents Complaints Told OF.
referring to the cause of Miss
Woods suspension, the board recites
that complaints were made by parents
Of pupils in Western High School that

to her pupils that she was in favor of
such doctrines.
A copy of the original complaint Is
| filed by the board as an exhibit. 1t is
signed by Frank P. Reside, 2150
500 F street.
The board then states that these COM
plants were taken UP with Miss Wood
by her principal. DIR. Elmer S. New
| ton, and Miss Wood replied in writing
Her reply alsO'is attached.
The principal after a talk with Miss
Wood made a report to the superintend-
| ent of schools. the answer states. The
reports SO received were not satisfac-
tory. the board tells the court Mrs
Henry B. Learned were requested by
the board to confer with Miss Wood

Grave Indiscretion Seen.
The board then states that the re.
spondents found as a matter OF fact
| on the statement OF the petitioner
herself. that she had been guilty of q
| grave fndiscretion in the conduct OF
| her classes by attempting a discus
! sion with her pupils Of the subjects OF
| bolshevism and soviets. very danger
| GUS and delicate topics to handle in
| the present condition of affairs
| which she was incompetent t
| direct because of her lack OF
knowledge and training. and which
| left the impression on her pupils
| that her attitude toward these
subjects was one of silent sympathy
! at least: and that in the Interview
| of March IL she made such slight at.
| tempts to impress the members of the
, board that such was not her attitude
| and expressed 80 little regret for the
| Impression that she might have made
upon the immature minds Of hel
| pupils by a careless handling of these
| subjects that the board felt that some

EPIGRAM is NOT GREELEY'S
Great Editor Long Wrongly Credited
With Advice, go West, Young
Man, Go West"

= The famous epigram go West,
young man, go West" so commonly
attributed to the pen of Horace Gree
ley, was not written first by that ven
cradle editor of the New York Tri-
buEe but by John L B. Soule, editor
of the Terre Haute Express. In 1851
Richard Thompson, afterward secre-
tary of the navy, urged SOule to go
west and grow up with the country
and praised the editors talents as
writer He wagered barrel Of -four
that Soule could write an article that
would be attributed to Horace Gree
ley.
The result Of the suggestion was
a column editorial about the Vests
opportunities for young men. 1t de-
clared that Horace Greeley could new
er have given a young man better ad-
vice than contained In the words. go
West, young man." Although stated
merely as Soule thought Greeley
might have put it, newspapers all
over the country began TO credit Gree
ley with the epigram. So widespread
did the quotation become that Gree
ley's paper reprinted the EDITORIAL
from the Express, with the following
footnote:
1.-THE expression of this sentiment
has been attributed to the editor OF
the Tribune enormously. But so fully
does he concur in the advice 1t gives
that he Endorses most heartily the
epigrammatic advice of the Terre
Haute Express, and joins in saying,
