 With that important matter com pleted the committee might well have retired But driven by Senator Edge, who displayed a highly partisan att titude throughout the sessions, it cllIug to its tenure of life and went abroad in a Quixotie attempt to purify the repub- lican party by besmirching the demo- cratic. In completing that programme, 1t strained at the proverbal camel and swallowed the proverbial gnat.
 It opened in Washington with the sensational statement that School Life,' a governmental philanthhropic publication, had been transformed into democratic propaganda. As proof, an editorial in the most recent issue wa; cited. This editorial featured the posi- ton of Governor Cox respecting educa tion. Between the lines, the republi- can members of the committee pre- tended to see an ardent espousal on the part of the publication of the League of Nations.
 The superin tndent of education ap- peared before the committee, and proved that in preceding issues. Sena- tor Harding's position regarding edu- cation had been cited editorially and that in other issues, the platforms of both parties, bearing on matters of general interest to parents and pupils
