Bruce must go. ~
And again:

The Board of Education has final
~ decided TO give the Parents" League
Il hearing and to allow Mr.. Bruce to
plead to any charges that might be
brought against him. The Parents"
League standing avowcdly for the
moral welfare Of the community,
should produce their charges With
supporting evidence against Mr..
Bruce or the teachers whom they
deem unworthy and give them Il full
fair chance for sclf-dcfcnsc. The
sense Of fair play demands nothing
less.
Agitation concerning our public
schools is periodic. The people have
no vol in the government under
which they live and tho pcnL up focl
ing seeks outlet through this channel,
Tho colorcd people have no cstab
lishcd channels Of public opinion
like the Board of Trade or Chamber
OF Commerce like the whites.
The mass meeting is the only agcn-
cy they have through which to make
their feelings and wishes known. The
schools reach into every household i'll
the community. Mass meetings are not
always logical or consistent i'll their
demands but they express IN violent
form the pcnt-up feelings which have
great cvidcntial value like tho cry OF
the child which has no language but
q cry,
This Is e1acly what the Board
OF Education should have done In the
first instance. 1t is a case OF "Much
ado about somcthing' instead OF
"Much ado about nothing" There
is IN organized propaganda to destroy
isomo body and something. In carry
ing out the will and pleasure OF his
superior officers, Prof. Bruce has no
doubt antagoni2cd his own people.
1t Is IN interesting situation.
Is Professor Bruce guilty? Is
THE woman in the case guilty? Hayo
both outlivcd their usefulness? If
fthey arc innocent, should they retain
, the unrcasoning and unreasonable
clamor of the mob?
II these people arc guilty, then
We are with the Parents League. If
they are innocent, then we arc with
them and against tho Parents League
whether in its membership may he
found ten people or ten thousand.
How can these facts be determined
save by an investigation and y trial?
II Prof Bruce is innocent, he should
demand n trial. II he is guilty in
part or rs Il whole he should resign
and he should lie quick about doing
it. But what have We to do with the
controversy anyway? People sending
letters here sol us into it and DR..
Kelly Miller is also responsible. God
help the colorcd folks OF Washing
ton.
When it comes to raising Il row
and engaging in useless discussions,
many OF them are supreme in the
business. Certain it is that The state
mcnt Of the case is puzZling from all
sides and the way the matter has
been handled has tended to make con
fusion worse COMPOUNDED. Let us have
peace if not in Washington; then out
side OF Washington but let us have
peace.

no information in its posse ssion which
involves the name Of a single teacher
in the Moons case other taan the ono

The President of the Board Of Edu--

Of the Parents League that "All ru-

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Uss.

A visit to &c laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds CT various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best
The most successful solvents are used
TO extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound Which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

END TO BIG COAL
STRIKE AT HAND
FARLEY is AGREED UPON WHICH
MAY RESULT IN A SETTLE
MENT OF DIFFERENCES.
President Wilson Proposes Plan Look
ing to Speedy Termination OF
Strike Situation and Adjustment
of Entire Controversy.

hington.-Att0rney General Pal
mer announced after midnight Satur-
day that an agreement had been
reached between government officials
and John l.. Lewis, acting president,
and William Green. secretary-treasurer
Of the United Mine Workers, under
which a proposal for termination Of
the coal strike will be submitted TO IA
meeting of the executive committee
of the mine workers at indianapolis.
The proposal was made by President
Wilson looking 10 a speedy termi-
nation Of the strike situation and nd
justment of the entire controversy"
Attorney General Palmer says. Lewis
and Green will urge acceptance of the
proposal.
The announcement came as COM
plete surprise, as government officials
had not made known the fact that the
union leaders had been called into
conference or that new proposals were
under consideration. The presence of
Lewis and Green In the city was ru-
mored during the day, but could not
be confirmed
The fact that Mr. Palmer talked with
President Wilson in the course of the
day on the coal situation was known,
but no intimation of the nature of the
was obtainable either from
Mr.. Palmer, prior to his announce
ment, or at the White House.
When the announcement was made,
officials would not comment as TO the
nature Of the proposals to be sub
nitted at indianapolis. The text of
he statement, as wen as the general |
attitude of government officials, in
Heated clearly, however. that accept
nee by the miners was anticipated.
The announcement was the more of |
surprise because of the fact that
