Building Leased
For Roy Schools

p The Roy school board has contract
ed with Thos. McGrath, now owner
of the Trinidad Lucero building in
Roy, for the entire ground floor of
the building, to be used as school
rooms for the coming term. This
will make six comfortable rooms large
enough to accommodate the schools
this winter and is the best arrange
ment that could be made at this time.
The rent for the six rooms is to be
500 per month, which is a reason
able rental for such property at any
time, and real concession under
present conditions.
The board has also purchased 1870
seats and desks from the Peabody Co.
of Topeka, Kansas, also teachers
desks and the absolutely necessary
supplies for the coming term.
All arrangements will be made to
start school on time and conduct it
successfully. Two applicants for the
position Of principal have been re-
ceived and several applications are
in for the vacant place in the Primary
and some for other grades which in
dicate shortage Of teachers is not
serious.
It would be in the interest Of safe.
ty if the street on one side of the
building could be closed to auto and
team traffic so that there could be 9
playground without the hazard OF
children being run over by cars anC
this can be arranged with little in.
convenience to the public.
This arrangement will give ample
time to dispose of the bonds and builC
the new building before another
school year opens and can be done
without sacrifice financial or other
wise.

Mahoney and Abernathy are bring
ing in wheat from their new header
thresher and marketing it at the
Floersheim elevator. It is as pretty
wheat as ever grew, and threshed and
cleaned perfectly. This method of
threshing can but appeal to all who
comprehend its advantages. OF course
wheat can be cut green with it, but
when fully ripe and dry it is the last
word in easy and economical handl-
ing of grain. A man or boy to drive
the tractor which pulls it and a man
to watch it run and keep it oiled is
the crew. The grain wagon is tied
alongside. and one or two men and
teams take the loads Of threshed
grain and bring empty wagons. No
crew of men and teams to feed, no
risk Of rain rOtting your stacks, and
the straw scattered on the ground
ready to be plowed under for the next
crop, and all at "a cost of from So to
SO per acre.
OF course there is the risk of dam
age by hail, but most Of it has to be
taken anyway, and the grain must be
handled so that it won't heat in the
bin and spoil it, but that, to5, is only
an incident. This method of handling
wheat also conduces to better prep
aration of the fields, and tractor
farming generally. 1t does not re-
quire prophet to see that this is the
coming method of harvesting 1t is
especially popular with the ladies on
the farm, as it relieves them of the
task of cooking for header and thresh-
ing crews and the expense that goes
with it.
Hollie Johnson, of Solano, and Hen
ry Farr are running Mr.. Johnson's
header-thresher together and doing a
mighty pretty job of it. The big Oil
Pull tractor romps into the fields at
the rate of 40 or more acres a day
and the thresher handles it with ease,
Mr.. Farr's wheat which the hail hit
turned out about 4 or bushels per
acre, and the loss granted him of rs
per cent is easily accounted for on the
ground beneath. He will disc it in
and have the finest fall and winter
pasture imaginable and dig out the
surplus next spring.

"Beck Boulevard" is the name pop
ularly given to the hitherto despised
back street parallelling the R. R.
track from the crossing north. In
order that this might become the con-
venient highway it geographically
ought to be, Joe Beck, of the Beck
Motor Co., got permission from Mr..
Beeth, Div, Supt. of the R. R. to
make it boulevard, got the village
grader and plow and went at it. When
one Fordson wouldn't pull it, he
made "spike-team" with two of
them and plowed and graded until
there is not finer street in town.
This will, incidentally, turn lot of
traffic past the Beck Garage, which
was one of the reasons for making it,
but it was public-spirited move any
way.

The Roy well was drilled to a depth
of 1900 feet Saturday and is still

plow in sod two days last week be-

Republican Principles
Toward Aliens Urged
To the Editor of The Tribune

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Since the days CT our forefa-
theirs the United States has been the
goal and promised land of pilgrims from
all the world. These people have played
an organic part in building up the in
stltutlons and organizations, typically
American. Of which we are proud. We
cannot now bar our gates to the immi-
grants who seek admlttance in this day
Of reconstruction. Still, that the pres
ent government may function as har-
monious whole, and not be disrupted by
disgruntled and misguided aliens, it is
CT basic Importance that the newcomers
be instructed in the duties and priYi-
leges OF American citizenship.
By education we can teach them the
fundamentals of American life By
assimilation we can incorporate them
as English speaking, patriotic and in
oustrlous members OF our population.
BY deportation we can rid ourselves of
that small portion which refuses to en-
brace our ideals and even attempts to
overthrow our established order.
The wise application os these prin-
eiples to our present foreign born popu-
iation, and the adoption of sane and
ludiclous restrictions in the flow of
newcomers will solve the present alien
problem and continue the long -estab-
hshed principles OF republicanism.

Let the People Rule Again
To the Editor of The Tribune.


Sir: One of the worst tendencies
Of the present Adminstrat ton is the
abuse Of Executive power retained un-
constltutlonally from war time. Our
government, under the Wilson regime
IS last becoming a government of
bureaucratic rules and regulations.
1t certainly never was intended BY
the fathers and is not the wish Of
Americans to-day that the President
can send armies to Russia or where not
when no state of war exists. That
strong power must lodge in the Ex-
ecutlve IN war time is evident. else
we could never urge war against an
autocracy. We con not have decision
Of authority when the fate of the ma
tion hangs in an emergency
Congress cannot too jealously qua I'd
its powers. espionage laws and other
like laws that necessarily give much
power to bureau and departments un-
der Presidential power are apt, under
present Leadership, to be the nose Of
the camel in the tent. Anierlcanism is
essentially governed by the people.
Let the Republican party restore this
constitutional government. c. II. R.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-02

no Republican administration would
the nation have trembled at the pros-
pect Of Cabinet officer in tn e.,-
Dental chair.
The country should be assured
that with a Republican victory the
successful candidate would surround
himself with men who would be
Cabinet ministers instead of clerks
advisers and counselors instead of
foremen. The party that has pro-
duced men like Root, Knox, Taft.
Hay. Blaine and Seward means
party strong in all departments.
The people Of this country should
be allowed again to feel that they
are being governed by party
bound by its platform pledges and
responsible as political entity for
Its deeds. The people should once
more be free to go to the heads of
the various departments of the
government with the assurance that
they can be heard and answered in
all matters under such jurisdiction.
We need no ministry after the
fashion Of Great Britain, which lives
or dies by the will of Parliame, Int
we do need a responsible Cabine. in
which the Congress and the nation
can have faith. w n
