NATIONAL ELECTRIC

BASEBALL.

More interest is being taken regard
ing an organization here than was an
ticipated. At meeting last night
several out of town fans as well as To-
cal enthusiasts attended, showing the
spirit of the general public regarding
baseball in Maysville this season. A
real club and worth while advertise
ment for our city is the aim. The tai
ent is here and with the addition of
two promising members on the pitch
ing staff there is no reason why we
should not have the team that Mays
vile deserves.
Probably circuit will be formed
with several cities near Maysville and
some clean, high-class sport will be
witnessed during the season of 1921,
and who said we wouldn't be on the
map with a real Boys Band and Ball
Club.

LESS SUNDAY WORK
ON c. and 0. LINES
Dead Freight Is Not To Be Moved On
Sunday-Other Sunday Work
Slackened.

Huntington, W. Va, Feb. II. - Or
ders have been received at the local
offices Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad ruling that as little dead
freight as possible be moved on Sun
days. Dead freight includes coal, coke,
pig iron and other metals and fuels.
Manifest freight and passenger
service are not affected by the order,
which is interpreted by local officials
merely as an order to curtail useless
hauling, If it can be held over for ac-
complishment on week days
The rule will not be absolute, be-
ing subject to exception in cases
where 1t is necessary to move trains
for such purposes as getting crews
home.
Coincident with this suspension Of
dead freight movement the Sunday
shifter service on the various yards of
the system will be stopped and many
persons hitherto employed at the
shops on the first day Of the week will
cease that employment.
The decline in business has been
such, officials say, that the company
can handle all freight without the
movement of the heavy trains on
Sunday.

Business Revival

News dispatches from many points in the
United States seem to indicate the advent of i'm
proved business and industrial conditions.
compilation Of dispatches in The Palladium
a few days ago showed that the steel mills of
northern Indiana were receiving orders and TAX
ing on new men.
A number of railroads haev been increasing
working forces in their shops, and maintenance
work, delayed this spring because of adverse
financial conditions, will be rushed before winter
sets in.
Equally encouraging are the reports from
the textile industry, which employs thousands
of workers.
Farmers evidently feel encouraged, too, for
hogs are keeping the highest price since last
March, and shipments of wheat are taxing rail-
road facilities in some sections of the country.

Politics in the Public Schools

Red tape and handicapping by politicians are
given as the two chief causes of the present ode
plorable" condition of American public schools in
the report of the national committee for Cham
Der of Commerce cooperation with the public
schools and the American City Bureau.
The survey, which included an investigation
of 377 cities, showed that in AZ percent of cases
where boards of education were independent
from manipulation and political control, the most
efficient administration and educational results
are obtained.
Richmond has been fortunate in the segraga-
ton of its school activities from municipal poll
tics. The school board has been permitted to
operate the schools for the benefit of the pupils
without being forced to listen to Suggestions
and demands from politicians.
Along with other cities where this condition
prevails, our school system has gone forward in
a commendable manner. City politicians have
not dared to interfere with the plans and meth
DDS of the board This condition will obtain in
the future, too, for the city has not tolerated
the slightest move toward weakening of its
educational system by political manipulation.
We have an excellent example of the indepen-
dence which the school board exercises in the
discharge of its functions in its present quest
for a superintendent No political faction of
Richmond has dared appear before the board
to urge the selection of some man who suits it
and will be influenced by its whims and desires.
The board has been able to go ahead untram-
meled and free to choose the best man for the
post, regardless of political affiliations or con-
nections.
Nothing can harm school system more than
the nefarious influence of politics. The school
superintendent who is politician imposes pen
atty on the school system, which the parents and
pupils pay. Every child is entitled to good edu-
cation, and whenever politicians control the
school system, this right of the child is disre-
garded with impunity.
When political bosses are able to pack a

One Phase of Disarmament

Many persons believe that the Initiating of
ornaments and the removal of death dealing
instruments will remove war. Quit the manu-
facture of guns, high explosives, swords and all
kinds of munitions and you will prevent war,
say they.
After all, that seems to be minor consid-
Grafton. So long as men and nations harbor jeal-
ousy, rancor and hatred in their hearts against
each other, you will have an underlying cause
for war. So long as there are international prob
lens which are unsettled and about which ma
tions share hostile views, the provocation for
war remains.
Before wars will be impossible, factors that
produce wars must be removed Limitation OF
ornaments, for instance, will not prevent Japan
and the United States from engaging in war, if
they still cherish hatred for each other, because
of the oriental immigration problem or the far
eastern questions.
