'T am not an advocate OF Bolshe-

who was suspended last year by the

said was used as n textbook in the

In tustifying her treatment of Rus

current events class. Miss Wood
pointed to a paragraph from Presi-
dent Wilson's speech to Congress. or
January 8. 1918, in which he called
for the evacuation OF all Russian ter
ritory by allied soldiers, and stated
that the Russians had a right to set
tie their own affairs and establish
their own Government unhampered
by any interference by other
countries.
Wilson's Book Is Text.

Wilson's Is used as a text book in the

per.
Yes replied Miss Wood, and the
Interrogation was not pursued
further.
Miss Wood declared she had a right
to protest against statements, at
tributed to So onator Myers and Con.
gressman Blanton, that she was "un-
patriotic"
"The Boar dof Education specih.

There are plenty of statistics
flying about; many of them deal
with money. The labor strike now
ending cost the country a million
dollars a day. That is sad, and
people pay earnest attention to the
great loss.
That strike loss is something
that the public could not help, and
: II lasted a few days only.
The Washington times., 1920-04-21

You can go too far in the effort
to make people good by law. On
the island Of Tsngier, in Chesa-
peake Bay, Virginia, Roland
Parks, seventeen years old, was
shot by the constable. The island
has a law saying that citizens
must go TO church or respectfully
stay in their houses while others
are attending church.
Young Parks didn't go to church
and didn't stay in the house, so
the constable shot him.
The local clergyman will tell
citizens that the constable went
too far. In Voltaire's day young
men were punished by having their
tongues cut out for blasphemy.
And they were broken on the
wheel for failure TO uncover their
heads at the passing of religious
procession. That sort Of thing is
out Of date now.

proof Of moral courage.

that at least four other wells have

Prominent oil operators agreed that
