Only Outdoor Inauguration.

The United States, although its cap
ital is In more rigorous climate than
those of many republics, Is alone In
having an ''al fresco" Inauguration.
The first four Presidents were iIau-
gurated indoors, and beginning with
the third President, Jefferson, the In
augurations took place In Washing
ton. Monroe, the first President to
be sworn In out Of doors, chose the
east portico Of the capitol because Of
a dispute as to whether he should
be inagurated In the house OF repre-
sentatives or the senate chamber. At
ter return to the indoor Inaugural
ton by Jackson, the outdoor cere-
monies were resumed. Because they
seemed to 1t In so well with American
Ideas Of democracy, permitting the
general public to see the procedure,
they have been retained.-National

lenoth of Hair Marked Caste.

For long time the length Of hair
was considered mark of caste In
France. Only members of the royal
family and princes OF the blood could
wear their hair long. Polled hair was
a sign of obedience and inferiority.
To cut the hair of prince was to de-
prive him of his right of succession
to the throne.
Notwithstanding these facts,
Charlemagne liked to wear his hair
short The name Of his son, Charles
the Bald, indicates the style of Golf
fure he affected. The Emperor The
ophilus was also afflicted with a bare
crown and he, to shun the notoriety
OF 1t, strongly urged his subjects to
cut the hair on their heads, advanc-
ing numerous reasons, sanitary and
otherwise, for its accomplishment.

Old Quindaro Settlement.

The old town of Quindaro on the
Missouri river above Kansas City was
founded In 1856 by free state boom
ers who came from New England to
help make Kansas free. Kansas City
and Leavenworth were either neutral
or were dominated by sympathizers of
the South.
The New England emigrants wanted
a port of entry" of their own. The
town was built up rapidly with large
hotel, great warehouses; steamboat
landing, and other evidences Of @fu-
ture great metropolis" During the
Civil war, however, the men all went
to fight. When they returned the
Union Pacific was building west
through the Kaw valley, and a little
later the Hannibal bridge was con-
structed, forever making Kansas City
the "port Of entry"
Quindaro was abandoned. It's ho-
tel and warehouses went to decay,
and now all that remains are the ruins
and the memory Of a struggle Of q
few brave men who believed they were
right, but who were mistaken In their
judgment as to the geographical loca-
ton Of the future great metropolis" !"

sidered last resort.
"The state has the right to suppress
civil war, but strike should never
be civil war. Some times incidental
to strike, but not at all necessary,
and greatly to be deplored by true
friends of labor, are intimidation, dis
order, riot and violence. A strike
of itself does not imply disturbance
of the peace.
Strikes are called more frequently
on account of failure to pay just
wage than for any other reason. If
employers would recognize mans
right to a just wage, another great
milestone of progress toward indus
trial peace would be passed.
"There is plenty to go round in this
rich country of ours.
"The state should always maintain
discipline, but the state has no right
to prohibit just strike.
"The evils and abuses of the pres

strongly deplored. The aloofness of
the employer from the worker, the
concentration of wealth in the hands

HoWAT DEPOsED BY LEWIS
President Of international Mine Work
,ers' Union Removes Kansas
Leader From His Position.

Declaring the laws OF the Inter
national Mine Workers union were
being violated In Kansas, President
John Lewis of the International union
sent an order to Pittsburg, Kan,
suspending President Alexander NJ.
Howat of the Kansas district and his
administration, and setting up a
provisional organization, headed by
George l.. Peck, local member of the
international executive board.
Announcement was made by John
Fleming, acting president Of the union
In the absence of Howat, who with
August Dorchy, union vice president,
Is serving a six months sentence In
the Cherokee county jail for violation
of the Industrial court law, that the
provisional administration had not
taken charge and would not be per-
mitted to do so for the present.
President Lewis suspension order, 1t
was announced, was due specifically to
the fact that Howat and other union
officials had failed to comply with q
ruling Of the recent international con.
ventlon at Indianapolis ordering the
striking miners In two Kansas mines
to return to work.
A large body OF Kansas coal miners,
meeting at Franklin, adopted resolu-
tions uphoiding the administration Of
President Alexander M. Howatt. Res
olutions also We're adopted declining

HONOR CLAIMED FOR BOSTON
First Public School In United States
10 Said to Have Been In
That City.

It is probable that the beginning Of
the American public school was In
Massachusetts,. In 1885 the people Of
Boston assembled In town meeting. re-
Quested Philemon Purmont to become
schoolmaster and voted him 80 acres
Of land in part pay for his services.
The school begun by Purmont later
became the Boston Latin school and
has had continuous existence to the
present time. Other settlements fol-
lowed Boston's example and within
the next ten years common schools
were established In all the New Eng
land settlements. In 1647 the gen.
eral court OF Massachusetts, ordered
every town having 80 families to ap-
point teacher, whose wages were to
be paid by the parents Of the children
he taught or by the Inhabitants In
general. AT the same time townships
having 100 families were required to
establish a grammar school to fit
youth for college. The law establish
ing these two grades Of schools laid
the foundation Of the public school
system In the United States. Three
years later similar law was passed
In Connecticut, but Rhode Island
made no attempt to form school
system until 1890.

said Cardinal O'Connell, of this city,

The reasoning of this church man
is a contrast with the claim of "can't-
strike" advocates, that strikes should
be outlawed when they inconvenience
the public--or, in other words, that a

commodes society; and that the state,
created by man, can deny rights in

NEWS OF STEEL
STRIKE CARBLED
Newspapers Condemned for
Their Manifest Unfairness to
Organized Labor.
MISLEADING "NEWs" PRINTED
Report Of Commission OF Inquiry OF
lnterchurch World Movement Makes
Charpes-ReaI Issues involved in
Conflict Not Published.

The newspapers of Pittsburgh and,
less sweepingly, the press Of the whole
country, are condemned for their han
ding Of the 1919 steel strike news, In
a final section Of the supplementary
reports of the commission Of inquiry
Of the Interchurch World Movement.
From an analysis Of 400 issues Of
the seven English-language dailies Of
Pittsburgh appearing In the strike
period and q less comprehensive
survey Of outside papers these are
among the conclusions drawn:
'Tt Is inconceivable that the public
which relied on the Pittsburgh news
papers could, by any human method OF
reading newspapers and allowing both
for exaggeration due to bias and In
accuracy due to haste, have under
stood either the causes OF the steel
strike or the significance Of Its incl
dents.
Readers were well informed of the
position taken by the chief spokesman
for the United States Steel corporation,
and the newspapers never questioned
the impression that the only moral
issue favored the side of the steel
corporation.
'The effect of the news treatment
Of the strike was to create the over
whelming impression and prejudice
that the strike came about through
the pursuit Of unreasonable demands
inspired by revolutionary motives. The
real issues were not printed. Exten.
sive space was given to the Red
Book of Foster, which was in nc
sense an issue or factor In the or
ganization Of the strike.
"A policy Of antagonism to the
strike was adopted by the Pittsburgh
newspapers without q pretense OF
previous investigation"

ALL ON THE Q. T.
Senate Rejects Publicity
Incomes To Be Secret.

Washington - The senatorial "old
guard" lined up against an amend
ment to the revenue bill which would
authorize the collector of internal
revenue of each district to publicly
post the amount of income of all indi-
viduals making income tax returns in
such district.
The amendment, introduced by
Senator La Toilette, was defeated by
vote of 81 to %. Advocates of the
plan showed that revenue to the ex-
tent of $4,000,000,000 must be raised,
yet congress does not know the a.
mount of taxes that are paid, and are
denied knowledge of taxes that are
paid by particular interests.
"To talk about legislation with re-
ference to taxation" said Senator
Reed, land then refuse to find out
the effect of the present law and the
amount of taxes that have been paid,
seems to me to be stupidity of the
grossest character"
A few days previous the senate
adopted a resolution authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to give this
information, on resolution by con-
gress but the vote on the La Toilette
amendment indicates what chances
such resolution will have in the pres
ent senate.
The LaFollette amendment caused
little discussion. No one opposed it.
The "old guard" had the votes and on
the roll call for yeas and nays they
simply applied the steam roller.
Another amendment provided that
the names of slackers in taxation
should be posted, as the war depart
ment posted the names of the draft
slackers. This amendment was also
steam rollered by a vote of 81 to 90.
