ENGLAND's FIRST DEMOCRAT.

Simon, de Montfort, Earl of Leices- ter, was the first great democrat in England. He was slain in battle e55 years ago today, Aug. 4, 1865. He was the leader of the rebellious bar ons and was also the cham pion of the masses. He contended that it was the duty of the nobIes to act as intermediates between the ruling monarchs and the people and curb the excess of royal power. In the great battle of Lewes in 1264 the barons led by Montfort, decisively defeated the king and the royalist party. The following year another battle took place with reversed the decision The barons were badly beaten and the democratic Earl was killed. During the period of Simon s ascendancy, however, he laid the foundation of the House of Commons and inspired in the breats of the people a love of liberty which en- dured.

 The Washington Industrial Code Commission for more than a year has been gath ering data from employers and employees to be used as tile basis for new law to be presented to the state legislature when it convenes next January. The commission was in structed to frame a law which will settle disputes between labor and capi- tai without recourse to the cumber- some weapons of the past that so often work a hardship on the public at large.
 Before the law is written this fall the commission plans to give a hear ing to every person in Washington who thinks he has a solution and will have studied the statutes of every state in the Union that has attempted to better the relations between labor and capital. Already hearings have been held in most of the larger cities of the state and the commission made special trip to Vancouver, B.

"The health officer takes issue with

practically no milk law here to speak OF

this law. does have and exercises a
very good control over the milk supply.
The milk sold in the District of Co

it is believed, compare favorably with
the milk sold in any other city of the
country and much better than that in

a vigorous demand on Congress for
effective milk legislation for the Dis

started along these lines in the near
future.

1t is the intention of DR.. Rallou TO
inspect every school in the system as
soon as possible for the purpose OF
making personal survey of the con-
ditions and to make the acquaintance
of teachers and pupils. All the high
schools probably will be visited first
by the superintendent. and the ele-

Some action probably will be taken
by the board to indicate its support
of the campaign of civic associations
for reduced street car fare for

New rules and regulations governing
the use of the school buildings by
community and civic organizations,
which were drafted by Supt. Ballou,
will be submitted to the board for its
approval.

IN REPLY,
QUOTESFROM REED

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, October 6.-United
States Senator Seldeh P. Spencer late
yesterday replied to President Will
sons, denials that he had promised
mania and Serbia in event Of invasion
of those countries. The Presidents
denial was provoked by a recent ad-
dress of Mr.. Spencer, in which the
senator, in effect, declared the Pres
ident had made such a promise.
The senator's reply, in part. follows:
Il beg to acknowledge receipt of
your telegram of October s. in which
you deny that you promised American
military aid to Rumanians and Serbs,
and that previous denial which Mr..
J. p. Tumulty had made was at your
which I have often referred in my ad-
dresses was the statement in the
stenographic notes Of the eighth
plenary session of the peace confer
ence, in which you are reported to
have said to Premier Bratianu Of Ru-
mania, as follows:
".You must not forget that it is
force that Is the constitutional guar
anty of the public peace. If the world
is again troubled the United States
will send to this side of the ocean
their army and their fleet.
THE statement was made upon the
floor Of the Senate on February q
1920. by Senator Reed. and so far as ]
have learned. has never been denied
until now. It has been widely circu-
lated over the United States. II you
did not make that statement to Pre-
mier Bratianu. I should be much in
debted II you will be good enough to
inform. me-"
Senator spenceF:s reply pointed out
that recent issue Of national pub
lication attributed the statement to
the President.
