School Reorganization.

Cooperation with the school au-
thorities by the newly formed citizens
committee seeking the betterment Of
the public schools of the District is
greatly to be desired by all who are
concerned in the welfare Of the Dis
trict's educational system. There is
no ground for disagreement on the
score Of the i've essential points of
improvement for the promotion Of
which this citizens movement has
been started. On these points there
is universal agreement. Nobody ques-
tions the need Of more buildings, more
teachers, better pay for teachers, re-
tirement provision and an efficient
business management. There is, how.
ever. difference Of Judgment ON the
question of the need of fundamental
school reorganization or of surveys
looking. to reorganization. The board
Of education has proposed such
changes, seriously to the unsettlement
of the teaching force. The citizens
organizations now working together
for the give points Of betterment"
program regard it as undesirable to
move at this time for any organic
changes, holding that what the schools
chiefly need outside Of the improve
ments embraced in the stated program
is quiet and respite from disturbance
and menace Of change.
It ID evident that school reorganiza-
tion cannot be effected without oppo-
sition from groups Of citizens repre-
senting the parents Of tho Washing
ton children who are attending school.
In these circumstance Is il not great.
ly to the interest Of school welfare
to postpone projects for reorganisa-
ton and concentrate all energies upon
this unehallenged and undeniable
series Of school bettermentsi
1t is not necessary for the citizens
committee to come into conflict with
the board Of education in order to ac-
complish its purpose Of presenting to
Congress this series of requests. The
board, however, can promote school
welfare definitely and insure speedisr
action BY Congress BY agreeing to
postpone all moves for fundamental
reorganization pending the establish.
ment Of the schools upon the firm
basis of efficiency that win be pro-
vided through the adoption Of tho
five points of betterment. In other
words, let the board of education
adopt the citizens committee program
as its own and wait for a more op-
perfume and favorable time for ad-
vocating other changes upon which,
when that time comes, there may be
as full agreement of public opinion
as there 10 today regarding the vital
importance Of meeting these five

Swift Action Should Follow Raids.

Yesterdays raids against the reds,
conducted by the Department OF JUS
tice, yielded the biggest haul of rad
ieals that has yet been accomplished
in this country. The affair in Chi
caeO the night before. concerning
which there is some dispute between
federal and county authorities, proved
to have been premature and fortu-
nately not harmful local enterprise.
Not until all the reports are in and
the documents seized in the raids ex-
amined can the value of this country
wide roundup of reds be known. 1t
is, however, evident that in eonse-
cuence of these arrests, which may
reach as high as 1000 in number,
there will be many more deportations
of undesirable aliens.
Organized radicalism is so undenl-
ably in evidence now that it must be
handled as a definite problem of ma
tional security. There is NO longer
any concealment of the purpose of the
anarchistic alien representatives OF
the bolshevik ideals to effect an over
turn of the American political organi-
cation. With impudence almost in
credible these agents of foreign
communistic propaganda, many OF
them scarcely speaking the language
of this country, are seeking to TO-
ment revolution here. They are play
ing upon the dissatisfaction and the
academic theories and the fanatic
preiudices of Americans to arouse
them to seditious enterprise. They
are openly proclaiming their objects.
Some of them are definitely predict
ing that within five years America
will become subject to soviet or.
ganization.
This is no mere scare, no phantom
of heated imagination. 1t is cold,
hard, plain fact. Confidence that such
things cannot succeed, that the Amer.
can people are too sane to yield to
the seditious and anarchistie tempt.
ings and teachings Of these alien
agents, will not suffice now. There
must be actual action in defense, in
clearance, in purging the country Of
these malevolents and their American
abettors.
Vigorous prosecution by the govern
ment Of all those who are caught in
these raids with evidence to convict
them Of actual seditious propaganda
is to be expected. The Attorney Cen
eral has called upon the people to fight
this menace. lie people, however, can
do no more than he government. The
courts must work. II there is slack
ness in the handlins Of these cases,
il the laws delays are permitted to
check and postpone deportations and
imprisonments, the main purpose Of
these mischief-makers will be ad
vanced. Raids are to be considered as
but the beginning Of q swiftly moving
process of punishment and exile.

PIG NURSES FROM COW.

]. X. Brewer If near Kemper was
in The Herald office Monday and told
of a pig he owns which nurses from
a COW every day. The pig has become
attached to the cow that he fol-
lows her out into the field and re-
mains with her throughout the day.
The pig belongs to litter which
came off sonic weeks ago, and has
mpletely abandoned his mother and
his brother and sister pigs. Mr.
Brewer said the cow began to fail in
her daily milk supply, and the other
day while watching her he was as
tonished to see the pig raise up on its
hind legs and take hold to one
the teats. He nursed the COW until his
hunger was satisfied, but when the
COW walked off into the field the pig
followed her. Mr.. Brewer says it is
the first time he has ever heard of a
pig nursing fr m cow.

Nearly every person in the United
States already has violated the pro-
hibition law. according to Represen-
tat.ye Igoe of Miss uri, who recently
read the following formidable list OF
law violators On the floor OF the
house:
ANY farmer VIII has cider contain
ing in excess of one half OF per cent
of alcohol and which acquired this
excess either naturally or artificially
since January H. 1920.
ANY housewife who has made any
kind of beverage since Jan. II con-
tanning more than one-half # / per
cent
ANY one who makes beer in his
home containing one-half of l per
cent of alcohol or more.
Any ne who has an Intoxicating
beverage anywhere save in his home
and has not reported it to the Com
I missioner. &.
Any One who has in his possession
any formulator substance designed or
intended use in making beer or
wine or brandy.
Any one who carries drink even
from his home and from supply he
may lawfully have.
Amy one who gives another drink
except in the home of the giver.
Any one who buys drink.
The reading of this list was too
much for Mr. Igoe and he gave way
to sarcasm, closing his statement
with this:

 HUNG UP IN 1873
Resume of Automobile Rae ing Season Shows Most
 Successful Year

X resume of the 1919 automobile racing season shows that it was one of the most successful in the history of the sport. Three new worlds records were hung up.
 Tommy Milton made 10 miles at the Sheepshead Bay track in minutes 20 2-j seconds in his speedy Duesenberg, or d speed of 112.4 miles an hour. Ralph De Palma set new mark at the same track when his Packard Special flashed across the line in the 50-mile race in 26 minutes 9 4 seconds, or 113.7 miles an hour. Cas- ton Chevrolet hurled his Frontenac around the same board oval at the rate of no 5 miles an hour in the 100-mile race in 5f minutes. IFS seconods. Goodyear Cord tires were big factors in the successes of De Palma and Chevrolet
 Tommy Milton was the largest ndivid- uai winner, getting the checkered flag in the two Uniontown Sheepshead Bay and Elgin races. Joe Boyer was next with wins at Uniontown, Cincinnati and Ascot speed contests, while Gaston Chev- rolet finished first at Sheepshead Bay in two races. Goodyear Cords took first three places in nine out of 16 races, and ran first in 13 of the contests.
 In n-eompetitive erial in November at the Sheepshead Bay track Tommy Milton travelled 113 miles in 60 minutes with his Duesenberg, travelling farther W an hour than any other car in the world
 Races were marked by few serious ac- cidents, but there were plenty of thrills for spectators. Everything points to record year in automobile racing in 1920, as interest has increased, rather than di- minished, since the war ended.
