THE FORGOTTEN MAN

"The Forgotten Man" is that indi'
yidual who does an honest days
work and pays his bills. brings up
three or four children INDUCES in
pipe or an occasional cigar, Keeps
up a small savings account, never
gets into trouble with the police
never makes u speech or writes a
letter to the editor, in short he's the
individual who keeps going on MS
own momentum, good times bad
times. or indifferent times
When the hat is passed around for
the down.and-outers the Forgotten
Man chips in his mite.
The tax gatherer visits the For
gotten Man regularly, and collects
toll for the upkeep of. the ponce
courts, jals, workhouses and poor
house-none OF which the forgotten
man ever had any use for whatever
He is self.supporting, self'startlng'
self.sufficient and being so he Is
counted on nothing except the cen
sus. But in that document he cuts
a big figure because he probably
forms g big majority.
The Forgotten Man is just the
everyday, common, ordinary PLAN
citizen who does the best ne can
and makes a pretty good job OF IT,
He is the man you can count on
in times OF war or in times OF peace
in times of hysterical prosperity or
Republican management.
He is a dependable old horse
broke to harness. and he'll stand
without hitching.
Remember there are millions oil
him and there isn't much chance
that he will ever go crazy even
though the whole world about nm
does seem inclined that way.
When things get too bad he'll take
hand at running them himself
and you can depend upon him 10 90

TOHAVE STATE
 OWNED PLANTS

Berlin, Ang. a-A practical sug- gestion to solve the vexed problem what to do with 100000 army men who, in compliance with a Spa un- dertaking, are facing discharge, is offered by the economic union of German professional soldiers which has worked out scheme to distri- bute the men in different state-own- ed plants which are at the present moment lying idle. The German gov ernment is to subsidize working ex- penses of these plants and fix a scale of wages. The, operations of the plants would constitute a, novelty be- cause they would be worked on the principal of mutual comradeship,'' and the relationship of employer and worknen would be eliminated The government would take over the main output of the plants and there would be planned extensive land settlements on state-owned lands which workers would cultivate and on which they would build their own dwellings after performing eight hours daily factory work. The promoters claim that the scheme has already secured official support on principle.
 All Prussian district residents have been summoned to meet Minister Se- vering to confer on matters affect ing the security police.

The PEOPLES FORUM
HE DoESN IT AGREE
WITH MR.. COOK

Referring to your able editorial
on educational efficiency in your
issue of June 10th, the present
writer has pleasure in saying that
he heartily endorses what you
have to say on the subject, partic,
ularly where you emphasize the
Importance of locating a union
high school at the most central
place at which it is desirable to
build such an institution.
Mr.. IIansen's letter in the fol.
lowing weeks issue also places
the matter of IL central location
as the prime matter for consider
alton in this connection.
1t is therefore, to my way OF
thinking, rather remarkable that
the letter on the same subject over
the signature Of A. B. Cook, chair.
man Of the Center district school
board, leaves the question Of loca-
ton undiscussed
Mr.. Cook pleads for centraliza-
ton of educational effort and the
consolidation of school districts
and then proceeds to advise break.

Gated educational district in the
island, dividing the parts between
the districts lying North and
South.
This is surely playing the two
ends against the middle with a
vengencc, and appears a most fan.
tastic method Of bringing about
naturalization.
, But Mr.. Cook ignores geograph-
ical facts, or considers them too
difficult for even the chairman of
a school board to deal with and
so passes them by.

n But Vashon and Burton are
twice the distance from each other
that either is from Center, hence
what appears to me to be the alb
1surdity Of trying to relate Mr..
Cooks plan to the idea of that
Capitalization for which he puts
forth a plea.
In other words, Center is true
to name, and is right in the mid
die of all the other districts.

ROSE EXHIBIT
AWAKENS INTEREST

The Vashon Rose Exhibit was
held Saturday, June 10Th at Mr..
VIM. Cowley's summer home. All
the morning willing hands arrang-
ed beautiful roses with their back
ground of sword ferns about the
broad porch and living room.
Roses Of every hue and size, roses
grouped in quantities in the large
basket to the single perfect bud
placed by itself for close inspec-
ton. All who attended expressed
appreciation and pleasure and
from the questions answered in
regard to the proper manner of
slipping and roofing, we believe
the growing of roses has been adj
vanced.
The exhibit evinced the possibi-
lities of rose culture here in our
midst and taught us how, with a
little care we could have these
beautiful blossoms about us most
of the summer.
Ice cream and cake were served
throughout the afternoon and
evening.

An Answer to Walt Mason s
Saving WOOD"

For | haven't poetry knowledge

You don't hold your knowledge
in your claw, It's said
But all your knowledge lies tied
up in your old head.

and bold
But | cant write enough to catch
a cold.
So, let Walt Mason write his vers-
es free from flaw,

contains one Of the densest school
populations on the island.
In its vicinity also lies the logic
al site for union high school, AZ
il is the most equally dividing
the distances from the North,
South and Wcst-and also that
from Maury Island, and is in the
writer's humble opinion the only
one on which all districts are like
! ~ to agree when the time arrives
/ for the erection of the Union high
school which we are all agreed is
so desirable.
And yet, without giving any
convincing reason for his scheme
Of things, Mr.. Cook goes on to
say that the reasons why the
Center people ask for the erection
of modern school building in
place of the present one, are chief
ly selfish and mercenary, and that
a concession to their demands
would delay Capitalization for
twenty years.
shall not condescnd to meet
the first part of Mr.. Cooks state
ment by trying to cast any doubt
on his own motives in acting as he
is trying to do in this matter, but
will take the liberty of saying
that in my opinion, if the common
people Of Center were to follow
the lead of the chairman Of their
school board, progress along some
desirable lines would be postpon-
ed indefinitely.
The people of Center district
| in the two recent elections have
declared their will in no uncertain
way. They have turned down
| the sort of consolidation proposed
lby Mr.. Cook and his friends with
an overwhelming adverse vote,
and. five against one in favor of
building new school.
Mr.. Cook has been a courteous,
useful and painstaking school
board official in the past, and |
for one am slow to believe that
he will now degenerate Into al
mere obstructionist. He has done
his full duty in his effort to coll
vince his constituents that they
are wrong in this matter, and hav-
ing failed to do this, his duty as
| it would appear to me is to CO.
operate heartily with them in
seeing that they get the very best
possible in return for their money,
and this sentiment / feel sure is
that of by far the larger number
of those who stand indebted to
Mr.. Cook for much valuable serv-
ice done in the past.
1t is, perhaps, not the writer's
business to hint at the proper al
tentative, but as he himself in the
capacity of a school board mem
Der has taken the medicine which
he is about to suggest, he may
perhaps be pardoned for doing so.
He has found it advisable when
| a public official is in complete dis
agreement with thosewho elected
him either to give way with the
best grace he can, or, if he finds
this an impossibilty, to resign
from Office.
