The Jesuit Fathers of St. Ignatius,
San Francisco, announce that gener-

Welch, has promised to build splen-

priests at a probable cost of several
hundred thousand dollars on the site
of the present million dollar Church

Many millions of words have been
reduced in knights of Columbus in
Peace and War; the official history
of the K. of G. by Maurice Francis
Egan and John B. Kennedy, into a
compact, coherent story of 100000
words. The book tells the entire his
tory of the Knights, from their early
beginnings in New Haven in 1882 as
club of II men to their present
status as an organization of approx
imately 100000 members 1t presents
a complete story of their peace work
and widespread relief activities
throughout the war and recOnstruc-
ton periods. This interesting work is
published in two large volumes.
Work Is Condensed.
TO write the book it was necessary
for the authors to go through the min
utes of every meeting from 1882 to
the Peace Convention of the K. of G..
in 1919; to read every issue of the
to examine thousands of lengthy re.
ports of the K of G. secretaries and
supervisors in all parts of the world
AS an instance of the rigid conden.
sation of the story, consistent with a
full and accurate presentation of all
essential facts, the long dispute over
the giving away Of creature comforts
by the Knights, extending over a peri
Cd of six months and involving numer.
Gus meetings and lengthy correspon
dence, is told in some 5000 words. The
second volume of the history contains
the names of 100000 Knights who serv
ed with the colors in the war and is
the first permanent honor roll publish
ed by an international organization.
An interesting local touch is given
to the work in describing how the
Knights came to take up soldier relief
| work. At conference between Arch
bishop ireland, DR.. Buckley, John A
Burns and w. D. DWyer in st. Paul
it was suggested to enter the field o.
relief work for the soldiers at the

WHY HAYS Is CONFIDENT

NNHE prediction of Republican landslide
4 made by Chairman Hays, when he ar
rived in town yesterday, is supported by
evidence. The trip of Senator Harding to
Minnesota, the first since he was nominated.
\gave the voters an opportunity TO show what
they felt about him. They were so cnthusi-
astic and the result of the trip was so salts
factory that the senator is planning to let
himself be seen in many other parts of the
country. He is conducting himself in
dignifed manner whirh commands respect.
Governor Cox is induging in the arts of
the demagogue without srruple and is losing
popular confidence with every speech.
\ Under the circumstances it is not sur
prising that Chairman Hays, who was
aware that the country decided long ago 20
get rid of the Democratic administration in
Washington, should be led into the belief
that the exhibition which Cox is making Of
himself when Cortrasted with Hardipg's
self-respecting attitude has confirmed the
voters in their determination to elect a
Republican President.

= TO countenance any reopening of the

The principle involved lies at the root

The sincerity and clearness of the Presi-
dents language and the entire absence of
demagogy in his pronouncement are char
acteristic of clear thinking. uncolorcd by

WHY WATSON WON

THOMAS +. WATSON, of Georgia, has
i been accused of being all kinds of a
wild man, but it is evident from the returns
of the senatorial primaries in his state that
this one-t time Populist is by no means lack
ing in political shrewdness.
OF late the Wilson administration has
been by no means popular in the South,
despite its invulnera5le Democratic predi-
lectiOns. 1t is dissatisfaction with the pres
ent rule in Washington which Mr.. Watson
has frankly capitalized. He has made no
secret of his opposition to the unamended
League of Nations. AS ever he has rebeled
against the powers that are.
His victory over Hoke Smith promises
seat in the Senate for a radical who opposed
the draft and fighting editor of principles
closely allied to socialism.
While it is difficult to reconcile Mr.. Wat
sons views on many economic and social
subjects with those reflective of the best
thought in Georgia. the soreness per-
haps chiefly responsible for his nomination
is fully perceptible. The situation is
significant index of popular feeling in the
South as elsewhere. The Georgia which will
stand for Watson as a senator is apparently
smarting under sensations which by con-
trast make him a lesser evil.

A GOOD START BY THE WOMEN

MOT the least of the good features of
~ woman suffrage is the reopcning of the
whole subject of pre- election formalities.
Thousands of men in this city and elsewhere
have been Indifferent to this indispensable
initial procedure and thousands have even
been densely ignorant of their duties
Heretofore the assessor has been a rather
mysterious individual and his compilations
contained in shabby paper book, rain stained
and dust blown. swinging from the polling
place shutter, have excited comparatively
little general interest. With hearteping
swiftness conditions have changed. ANY
citizen of either sex who is not aware of
the stages preliminary to voting in this
vicinity may be set down as altogether too
obtuse to cast a ballot intelligenty. Fem
mime interest in the extension of the fran
chise can hardly fail to exert wholesome,
stimulating influence on the whole cleo
torate
The assessors, lifted out Of obscurity. are
on their mettc. DelnQuencics on their
part such as We're reported are likely
to receive pretty full publicity. since
the right of the women to vote in the No
vember election depends directly upon the
inclusion of their names on the lists.
1t is imperative that the official machin-
cry should function properly. Perhaps the
new emphasis that is being laid upon the
subject will even arouse the chronic vote
slaCkers among the men.

MAYOR AND STREET CLEANING

WHEN Mayor Moore says that there is
w no truth in the report that the con-
templated city loan will contain no pro-
visions for raising money for the purchase
of equipment for cleaning the streets as he
and his associates are still considering the
matter, he does not clear away the doubts
Of those who voted for him believing that
he would abolish the contract system abso-
lutey next year.
While the Mayor has refused to tell the
public what he intends to do. he has con-
tnually dwPlt on the difficulties in the way
Of municipal street cleaning at this time.
But the obstacles which he has mentioned
have always existed and always will exist.
They have been overcome in other cities,
and they can be overcome here if there is
a determined purpose to carry out the plan
laid down in the charter.
Word is coming from the City Hall that
some of the Mayors advisers are telling
him that it would be a mistake to try to
begin cleaning the streets without a con
tract on January l. 1t is understood that
they have been saying that there is not time
to make the necessary preparations. This
objection will have some force if the policy
of procrastination is continued until the last
week in December. But the Mayor had II
year in which to make arrangements for the
new system. Virtually the only thing that
has been done is to divide the city into a
greater number of districts and to advertise
for bids for cleaning the streets and for
equipment and plant. This is nominally in
order to enable the Mayor to discover
whether it would be cheaper to continue
the contract system than to adopt the new
system of doing the work by city employees.
The real friends of the Mayor are hoping
that this is all that the advertising is for.
The purposes of the administration in this
connection must be revealed before long.
When the loan ordinance is introduced in
City Council next Tuesday it will be care
fully scanned for evidence of those purposes.
If there is no provision for borrowing money
for the purchase of street cleaning equip
nent it will be assumed at once that the
contract system is to be continued for
another year.

other modern businesses, shown great
Willingness to cooperate with the schools
IN every way to develop these branches Of

Hand in hand with this growth with its

teaching are some Of the features Of the
course, and for the first time in its history
the University is giving college credit and
granting degrees in such work.
Cultural Side Preserved
'"Ths brings us to the statement which
has often been made that the vocational
training neglects the cultural side of edu
cation. a striking refutation of this is to
be found in the fact that the Central High
School, for years the rock ribbed center of
pure academic training in the city, is the
center of the vocational system in the day
schools. At the present time there are a
thousand pupils, and this term will see an
extension of the courses to other schools.
1T is the plan of the schools not only
to fit the boy for better place in life, but
to establish him culturally, so that he may
take his place in life and society and acquit
himself credtably. Boys are equipped with
the idea that they are going to rise in the
world and assume greater responsibilities.
Care is taken to see that they are not
exploited and know their worth and also
that they can realize and seize for them
selves the greater possibilities of their
chosen vocatons. The result of this train
ing was especially evident during the war,
