echoes Of human dramas, involving

Antoinette. The unhappy valliere,
~ vainglorious Montespan, and the
austeFe Maintenon successfully loved,
infatuated and exploited Louis at Yer

THE sMITH.TOwNER BILL

: The Smith Towner Bill is a bill
brought before Congress proposing
plans for long stride forward in the
educational interests of the nation.
It provides specifically for the Amer
termination Of foreigners, the removal
of illiteracy, the equalization Of edu-
cational opportunities thruout the ma
ton, the promotion of physical edu-
cation and the preparation Of teachers.
For the carrying out Of this program
it proposes the requisite machinery,
including a Secretary Of Education
in the Presidents Cabinet and the ap-
preparation Of 500, OO0, 900 annually
from the federal treasury to be match
ed by like amount from the various
states.
This bill is the concrete embodi-
revelations Of national weakness
brought out by the recent world war.
We learned then that we have among
us thousands Of foreigners who can
not speak or read our language and
do not appreciate our ideals and in
stitutions; that educational opportuni-
ties are very unequally distributed
thruout the nation; and that our young
men are growing up with physical de-
fects which could be prevented thru
proper educational procedure. The
provision Of additional facilities for
the training of teachers is in recog-
milton of the fact that in carrying out
this great program the nation will
have to depend very largely upon the
services of its teachers.
Does any American citizen need
persuading to get behind a program
like that? Shall we who have COM
placently allowed millions of the ma
tons wealth to be thrown into the
pork -barrel withhold our support from
a bill proposing a work so worthy?
Assuredly not! But we must up and
act or we shall defeat the bill. He that
is not actively for it's against it.
We must talk it to our neighbors, at
our clubs, at our luncheons, and in
our public assemblies. We must write
our congressman urging them to- vote
for the bill. Our editors must be
asked to keep the virtues of the bill
before their. readers. Our various So
cial, business and other organizations
must pass resolutions in its favor,
etc. Are we all ready? Let's 60!

WHITES RIGHT

After the second administration of
Col. White as governor, the repubi-
can party was the strongest with the
people it has ever been at any time
in the history of the state, and the
republican ticket was elected by the
largest majority ever given any candi-
date in the state. This speaks we'll
for his ability as leader. He would
not stand out in the Senate as fol-

To Stage Play

It was decided at the last meeting
of Minot Lodge No. 6 Knights of
Pythias to produce the~celebrated Py-
THAN drama of Damon and Pythias.
This is a wonderful play in itself
and the story is used as the founda-
ton of the order Of the Knights OF
Pythias. The cast is being selected
with special care and a full scenic pro-
duction will be made.
It will require about forty people
to present this drama and as it is
necessarily serious effort much care
will be execised to make the perfor-
nance effective and impressive.
This is another prospective event
for Minot that will be anticipated
with much interest.

The dining room of the hotel was
packed and scores We're turned away
while following the dinner when the
Senator spoke in the lobby of the
hotel standing room was at prem
ium. This morning Senator Phelan Wis
ited CaleXico and Holtville at the form
er point addressing large audience in
the Rialto theatre while at Holtville
he delivered a short address follow
ing a luncheon given in his honor
During his visit to Calexico Senator
Phelan crossed the line into Mexico
and for a short time was guest of
Governor Luis NJ. Salazar. governor
Of Lower California, at the latter's
residence. The senator was accom-
panied by Patrick Cooney, attorney of
CaleXico, c. w. Collins of Ell Centre
and others.
This afternoon at three o'clock he
spoke to a large audience at Fifth and
Main dealing primarily with the Jap
anese menace and briefly summed up
the arguments advanced in favor of a
more drastic land law. "Adoption of
this proposed anti-alien land owner
ship law is certain" said Senator Phe-
Ian. "But mere adoption is not enough.
The measure should be given ma
jority SO large as to impress the East
in general and congress in particular
that California is solidly united
against the japanese menace. In that
way we can hasten the enactment of
federal law excluding japanese immi-
grafton.
Flags Japanese
"The Japanese" he said, are rapid
ly acquiring control of the agricultural
lands Of the state and find the existing
law only a slight obstacle to their
progress. Corporations with white
dummy directors, baby Japanese
stockholders, born on American soil,
leases piled on leases, father, son,
grandson, all running off somewhere
into the fourth dimension of relation
ship, these subterfuges make the pres
cnt law almost farce"
Senator Phelan then pointed out
that the law has been on the statute
books for seven years and that its
effectiveness can best be judged by
the fact that in the last ten years
japanese land holdings have increased
more than 400 per cent.
"The valley lands of California,
famed for their fertility. comprise
mere than three and one half millions
CT cultivated acres and of that total
459,O55 acres are occupied by jap
-anese. One acre out Of every nine is
under the control of an alien who has
