They now have as great a respon-
sibility as ever before rested upon
them, and that is to bend every
effort toward making honest-to-
goodness Americans Of the boys
and girls whose education they
have in charge.
Especially now is this incum-
bent upon all teachers andparents
and anybody who has the training
Of a child to answer for. Bolshev-
ism, sovietism and scores Of other
dangerous and falsesocial doctrines
are being spread abroad in Amer
lea, and If our youth are to escape
this moral and mental poison it
win be very largely to the credit
Of the school teachers Of our land.
These ideas and isms were born
among people and in lands that
are at enmity with our American
institutions, the public school
among them, and we must look to
the public school for much help
in combating this poisonous and
insidious propaganda.
One thing we ought to see is
a United States Flag over every
school house in the land. Itmat-
tiers not how far out or how small
your school, open school the first
day with the Flag flying over it
or near it. Make it matter Of
pride among the pupils that that
Flag shall fly every school day Of
the year. School boards should
supply Flags, but if they do not
then let teacher and pupils find
another way to secure them.

so NEAR AND YET so FAR

TNHE Delaware Legislature has ad-
i journed until Tuesday without rat
flying the equal suffrage amendment.
The Senate sent the amendment to the
House late yesterday afternoon, where
it passed first and second reading, but
the attempt to bring it to final vote
failed. Its supporters are hoping that
they can get support enough to put it
through on Tuesday, but impartial OBJ
servers are saying that they will not
succeed. The House rejected the
amendment earlier in its session and it
is expected to persist in its hostile
attitude.
This will leave the thirty sixth rati-
6cation still to be secured.
The governor of Vermont, who was
asked the other day by the Republican
state convention to call a special ses
sion of the Legislature to act on the
amendment, has refused, and the gov
ernor of Connecticut has also refused
to call the Legislature in special ses
sion at the request of the state Repub-
lican organization.
Ratification Of the amendment is still
hanging in the air. Its opponents are
in the last ditch and they seem disposed
to fight there as long as their breath
holds out.

A LAME GESTURE

WHEN the House leaders tried to
w pass the peace resolution over the
veto of the President Yesterday after
noon they found themselves twenty nine
votes short of the necessary two thirds
majority.
IL the Senate makes the attempt the
shortage will be proportionstely greater.
The veto stands.
The resolution was never expected to
become effective Congress when il
passed it knew that the President would
refuse to approve it. It's passage was
mere political gesture intended to
indicate the place where responsibility
for the failure to make peace rested.
But it fools no one except those who
wish to be fooled.
Now we suppose we shall be treated
for the next six months or more TO the
spectacle of full grown men trying to
fool the country in the mat r.
But the refusal of the House of Rep
resentatives to disagree with the prcSi-
dent by overriding his veto will make
the task little more difficult than some
of the political play actors thought it
was to be.
The country is aware that response
bility rests on both ends of Ppnnsyl-
vania avenue.

THE UNRESTRICTED

THE next President will be nominated
l. by the $40 uninstructed delegates to
the Chicago convention.
1t will take 493 votes to nominate.
None Of the aspirants has half that
number of delegates pledged. General
Wood has an admitted strength Of III,
but his friends insist that there are
thirty seven men in uninstructed dele
cations who will vote for him. This
brings his strength up to 214. Senator
Johnson has 115 pledged delegates and
his friends claim fifty more in unin-
structed delegations. This gives him
only 165. Lowden has 70, Harding 80,
Pritchard 10, Sutherland 16 and Poin-
dexter IA.
Each candidate hopes that his group
of delegates will be the nucleus of a
SNOWFALL which will grow in size as it
rolls down the long lane of voting until
it is big enough to overtop all the
others. But the uninstructed men will
make the nomination, and they are as
likely to name a man who does not get
a single vote on the first ballot as to
name any one else.

A SINGING PRESIDENT

MO LESS parsonage than V. Blasco
~ Ibanez is authority for the asser-
tion that Adolfo de la Huerta, the pro-
visional president of Mexico, is very
fond OF music and that for a long time
he has been devoting himself to the
cultivation of his voice. which the great
writer describes as "a rather fine
tenor"
This is indeed a new qualification
for a president, and especially for
president of Mexico. Perh~ps certain
other chief executives have overlooked
IA bet in not pursuing the course adopted
by Senior de la Huerta. OF all the pres
idential attributes, a voice is one of the
most important. At the same time.
history furnishes a rather disappoint-
ing record of singing rulers. Nero. for
example, was vocalist, and not a
viOlnist as has been generally but
enormously asserted. and see what be-
came of him. But on the other hand.
there was King David and his songs to
harp accompaniment.
