radical idea was interviewer INTO our
whole system of government" He
charged officials of the Department of
Labo with sympathy with the radi-
cal movement and declared that "the
entire department from Secretary
wilson down is SO honeycombed and
permeated with the spirit of anar-
chism that you have got to have a
house-cleaning there before you can
get at the bottom of the situation.
"If President Wilson knew what I
know about the Department of Labor
he would clean it up in fifteen min
utes," said he.
Representative Daven, democrat Of
Ohio. told the committee that unless
Congress acted Immediately the peo-
pie would take the situation into
their own hands.
Every red-blooded American de-
mands that this country and it's insti-
tutions be protected by law from en-
emies within it's borders who would
destroy it," he said. public opinion
is such that unless Congress acts
good Americans will take the law into
their own hands and string these
wild-eyed radicals to telephone poles
throughout the country. We then
will have the sad spectacle of a ma
ton devoted to law and order resort
ing to lawlessness to uphold the maj

PARIS LOAN STATEMENT

Officials of the Treasury are at a
loss to understand exactly what
Eugene Schneider of the French finan-
cial mission meant in a statement in
Paris on his return from America
that the United States government
probably would undertake TO provide
machinery whereby the French gov
ernment might float loans here, and
also that the United States might
participate in such loans.
1t was suggested that perhaps the

OBJECTS
TO SOME CHANGES
Superintendent Addresses
Teachers on Proposal
Affecting System.

That Supt of Schools Thurston does
not approve of a number of the pro-
posed changes in the school system
recommended to the reclassifcation
commission by the board of educa-
ton was brought out in a brief talk
by the superintendent at the meeting
of teachers at Central High School
yesterday
The meeting was called primarily
10 permit DIR. John Van Schaick. pres
ident of the school board. to explain
the details of the scheme of reorgani-
zation which the board has drawn
up. When he had finished he invited
Mr.. Thurston to address the meeting.
Mr.. Thurston's Views.
Mr.. Thurston told the teachers that
he still believes that changes in the
system should be made only as they
become clearly necessary, and that
he believes in gradual evolution,
rather than sharp revolution. in a
school system.
Mr.. Thurston said he felt sure the
teachers wanted to have conditions
in the schools made such that they
could settle down to teaching, and
that in his opinion four things are
necessary: First. an adequate scale
of wages: second. relief from the
strain under which they are working
because of the unusual attendance
and lack of substitute teachers: third,
complete business system to take
financial duties off the teachers.
Referring to the provision in the
reorganization plan to divide the
present thirteen school divisions into
fifty small groups, with a principal
for each group Mr.. T'hurston told the
teachers he did not entirely agree
with the board on this proposal.
He pointed out that questions arise
throughout the day in a grade school
which must be settled Immediately
and that a group principal with three
or four buildings five or six blocks
apart could not possibly give atten-
ton to the needs Of all the buildings
under him. Under the present plan
each building has a principal and
there is a supervising principal for
each large division.
Urges Careful Consideration.
Mr.. Thurston also reiterated his
statement of last week that if a re-
organization of the system is deemed
necessary it should be studied care
fully and adopted only after thorough
consideration.
The teachers applauded generously
when Mr. Thurston arose to speak
and they gave evidence of approval
of several points he brought out in
discussing reorganization.
That the teachers are studying
every detail of the school boards re-
organiZa tion plan was indicated by
questions put to DR.. Van Schaick by
the teachers regarding the meaning
of a number of provisions in the re-
organization plan.
DR.. Henry B. Learned, member of
the school board. gave brief talk.
He told the teachers that even though
they might criticise the reorganlza-
ton plan, he believed it would fur
nish a working basis for improve
ment in the school system. He appeal
ed for the cooperation of the teach
ers and told them that If they CO.
operate he believes they Will get
more of what they want than they
have been able to get in the past.

NEARING THE END
LEGISLATURE SCHEDULED TO
ADJOURN TOMORROW.

Pierre, March 6.-With the last
week of the legislature well on it's
way, and with just one more legisla-
tive day after this, the senate has 10
bills in committee which are of SEN
ate origin. and perhaps 30 more de-
ferred. The house has SO house bills
either still in committee or to be act
ed on in some other way. From
among those still in committee, it
may be expected hat most of them
are still there for a purpose, and will
never get out. That puts both houses
pretty clear to use the last days of
the session measures originating in
the other body. and the general opin-
ion seems to be in favor of clearing
up the calendar before adjournment
every night, SO that it is hardly .ex-
pected that there will be the jam on
the last day hat has featured former
sessions.
A delegation from Sioux Falls,
comprising an attorney and two
priests. was in the city over the week
end to try and gets the temperance
committees to put in an amendment
on the prohibition law which was en-
acted this session to put more teeth
in the bone dny law of the state. The
bill, as passed, limited the amount of
wine that could be used in any church
to eight gallons a year, and while
there seemed pretty general agree
ment among the churchmen of the
state here at the time the bill was
passed that this was fair enough and
would mean no deprivation, one
priest stating that three gallons was
sufficient for his church and he held
as many services as any of them;
still this delegation wanted the linn
litation removed. The temperance
committee declined to act on the rec
ommendation.

Charges They Deliberately Chose to

Washington, March 6.-On the ad-

liberately chosen to embarrass the ad-
ministration of the government, to i'm
peril the financial interests of the rail-
way systems of the country"
The presidents statement follows:
"A group OF men in the senate have
deliberately chosen to embarrass the
administration of the government, to
imperil the financial interests of the
railway systems OF the country and
make arbitrary use OF powers intended
to be employed in the interest OF the
people.

tend the peace conference in Paris.

conduct Of public affairs that / should
call the congress In special session
while it is impossible for me to be in
Washington because of a more press
ing duty elsewhere, to cooperate with

Il take it for. granted that the men
who have INSTRUCTED and prevented the
passage of necessary legislation have
taken all Of this into consideration
and are willing to assume the RESPONSE

nances of the country during the time
