LAW AND ORDER

Law and order are synonom
Gus insofar as operative mean
ing is concerned and both are
supposed to be founded upon the
basic principles of Justice. Gus
I tom has been responsible for a
great many of our laws and
among liberty loving people has
often been stronger than statut-
airy law. Officials derive their
right to govern by consent of the
! governed" and any attempt by
any set of officials to impose up
on this divine right may be class
flied rs "Kaiserism" and is de-
serving of the same fate such
official acts emanate from a de-
sire for show of authority. This
was not a "socalled walk out" it
was real walk out and savored
no more of disgrace than the
Boston Tea Party did, when the
colonists resented the inpositions
of Great Britain.
The excuses of the Board thru
its mouth piece Mr.. Street is
as weak as w per cent beer and
and is as lame and faulty as the
government of Mexico. Every
excuse is prefaced with big If
The gas situation is only as SER
ious as people make it and there
would be just as much reason
in disseminating school because
some charlaton predicted the end
of time in 1920. The health of
a community has much to do
with the progress of a school,
but when have the Belington
schools been closed except DUR
ing serious epidemics?, and these
are likely to occur at anytime.
Regarding the ruling of the
State Supt. in reference to the
pay teachers that intelligent

believe this. Mr.. Shawkeys rul-
ing is nothing more than an OPP
inion which is worth no more
than any other mans opinion.
These rulings to be operative
must come from the Attorney
Gen. and not from State Supt.
and are only necessary where a
point of law is in question. The
failure of gas would in no way
affect the schools, as the build
ings are heated with coal.
In the eyes of the best citi-
zenship of the town the boys and
girls are considered law
abiding and their
action is considered a fair reply
to the refusal to consider what
they believed TO be their just
rights. Public sentiment was
plainly with them and the accus-
alton Of disgraceful conduct is a
SANDER against the best families
of the city and the intimation of
criminal proceedings against the
parties who took part in peace
ful demonstration would call
down upon the heads of the ones
who would dare to attepmt it
such an avalanche Of criticism
venom and hatred that Judas

some parties who condemned
this childrens demonstration in
such scathing terms few
months ago advocated teachers

take his medicine like a man and

Swedish lumbermen are on this coast
investigating the possibility Of rafting
lumber from British Columbia TO
Europe. Lumber RATS of large size,
called rafanutes. have been success
fully towed from Sweden TO Great
Britain, says the Scientific American.
The Ocean Rafanute Syndicate pr
London, England, has sent William
OLSON of Stockholm. an experienced
rafanute builder, here to investigate
the possibility OF adapting that method
TO British Columbia timber exports.
The rafanutes are made of square
timbers. Mr.. OLSON. though express
ing nothing definite. believes that the
tremendous timbers Of the British Co
lumbia forests win make possible the
and successful operation
OF rafanutes far larger than the RATS
now shipped out OF the Baltic. Swedish
structures carry 100000 or 5,oo0. 600
feet each. II is proposed that the
British Columbia RATS Will contain
100000 to 100000 feet.

RothschIld. the great fnancier. who
was a firm believer In the maxim Buy

first-class investment.

child: ''you can get them cheaply
now" French bonds were then selling
st SO.
But the streets Of Paris are run
ming with blood" objected his friend.
That's the reason you can buy

Statistics Show That British Factory

About Midweek.

What Is the best workday In Amer
icaf In England II is Thursday.
That is the finding Of Industrial re-
search board investigators Of chat
country. The London Chronicle reports
that over a period Of twenty weeks
the output was registered and
graphs" were made
The workers gave their best on
Wednesdays and Thursdays, but the
output on Saturday was invariably
low. When doubled Ito equallze time)
1t is often less than 10 per cent OF that
on other days.
Another important conclusion was
that the skilled workman Is much
more regular in his output than the
worker not so well qualified. he does
not get the tired Saturday feeling"
so soon.
In some factories the output arises
until Friday. but among the less skilled
workmen 1t was found that Thurs
day was the best working day.
An important consideration which
the investigators kept In mind was
that Of the atmospheric condition In
which work is done. Records OF the
air conditions have been taken with
the output records.
In various plants the Saturday out

ALLEGED SMALL
FIND Was HOAX
Legless Pauper at Des MOines is
Not Missing Canadian Million
aire-0fficers Freed.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 16.--
Judge Hubert Utterback this morn
irg dismissed the habeas corpus
proceedings instituted by Chief of
Police Saunders against Private De-
tectives Frank Harty and John j.
Bropsy, asking for the surrender
of the man they believed to be
Ambrose J. Small, the missing Tor
onto millionaire.
Since the habeas corpus pro
ceedings were instituted in the dis
trict court yesterday, the man who
the detectives believed to be Small,
was found by newspaper men al
the Polk county poor farm. He
IS John Daugherty, a legless man,
taken to that institution in Janu-
ary, 1919.
In 1917, Daugherty suffered the
loss of both legs when he fell from
a Rock Island Lines train in Des
Moines This mornings hearing in
court was brief and informal. Judge
Utterback asked Bropsy if the man
he believed to be Small, was the
one at the poor farm. On being
told that it was, the judge dismiss
ed the case. Chief of Police Saun-
ders did not appear to press the
proceedings.
Bropsy and Harty say they were
sincere in believing that Daugher-
ty was the missing Toronto theatre
owner. They call attention TO the
resemblance of the two men. but
admit they forgot to look up the
records on Daugherty. Daugherty,
police records show, was injured
two years before Small disappeared
