The School Board is elected by the
people at special election, and II
prepares the school budget and the
people directly or Indirectly vote
the appropriations. In Wayback
County the Township Committee
which is the general political gov.
erning body, has no more to say
about the appropriations or the
building Of schoolhouses or any
thing else connected with the school
system than have any citizens, such
as Zeb Hicks's hired man.
In New York scores of thousands
of children are without seats in
school, are on part time or are
otherwise deprived Of the educa-
tional facilities which the Constitu-
tion and laws guarantee them. In
Wayback County there is seat for

Where the Banner Waved

Fort McHenry, at Baltimore, is to
be sold to the highest bidder. So is
to end the official history of one of
the forts built in the first years of
the Republic.
In the War Of 1912 the fort rem
dered valiant service in defending
Baltimore, beating off an attack by
Admiral Cochrane, of. the British
navy, and standing up against a
heavy bombardment for forty-eight
hours. 1t was during this defense
that Francis Scott Key, captive on
a ship of war in the harbor, looked
out by the dawn's early light on the
morning of September ID, 1914, and
saw the star-spangled banner still
waving over Fort McHenry.
The fort took it's name from James
McEienry, who was surgeon in the
Revolutionary War and served as
one of Washington's private sccre-
taries. Later he was a member of
Lafayette's staff. General Washing
ton was so impressed with Nc
Henry's abilities that in 1884 he
made him Secretary of War, which
position McHenry held with credit
until the end OF the Administration
of President Adams. McHenry, who
had known Hamilton intimately and
had served with him on Washing
toms staff in the war, became a
strong partisan Of his during the
Administration of Adams, and sided
with Hamilton against the President
in the feud in the Federalist party
between Hamilton and Adams. His
position was a difficult one, rem
dered no easier by Adams's some
what choleric disposition.
This feud finally wrecked the Fed
eralist party and McHenry retired
to private life in Baltimore, to be
known to posterity by his services to
the army and by the fort named
after him.
1t is reported that the government
has stipulated in the sales contract
that plot be reserved in the fort
for the erection of monument to
Francis Scott Key. McHenry will
evidently have to be content wi h the
fort itself as his monument. And
while it is pity that the property
is passing out of the hands of the
Federal government, it is hoped and
expected that Baltimore will take it
over and preserve it as one of the
most interesting relics of early
American history.

and you, yourself, are cursing him at
the top of your breath for being an in
credible bastard. "Who's my very own
baby? ?" he says, and his wife cuddles up
to him sleepily and kisses him.
Vera, it should be explained, was
Wemyss's first wife. After fifteen
years of marriage she dropped from
window Of his country house and was
killed. The books in Vera's library
were interesting to her successor. They
were all works Of travel, Baedeker's
and South Sea Island stuff, suggesting
desire to get away from Wemyss
Jumping from a third-f1oor window
was Vera's only exit, but Wemyss hated
her for having thus disturbed the tran
quillity of his life

October Football Skirrnishes

October football skirmishes indi-
cate some complex and hectic results
in the big football month of Novem-
Der. Interest in this section last
Saturday conferred in the dramatic
battle between the Army, straying
for the first time in many years
from its own reservation, and Yale.
The Bulldog team showed symptoms
of having become reconcIled to mod
ern football and beat the Army
handily.
At Palmer Stadium Princeton
played an intersectional game with
Chicago University and was beaten
by somewhat ponderous team
playing straight, old-fashioned foot
ball. Experts are lugubrious over
the result, following the defeat Of
Princeton by the Navy on the Satur-
day previous. The interest in the
intersectional game was not to be
compared with the interest in the
Yale-Army game, as indicated by the
attendance.
To the football followers in this
vicinity certain fixed games appeal
more strongly than the more or less
academic question as to whether
Western football is up to the Eastern
standards or not. If a mere game
settles this question, then the West
erners may claim superiority on the
strength Of the clean-cut victory Of
Chicago. They may claim it. That
is all. Harvard spent Saturday
playing hard-fought tie with
Penn State.
Gauging the strength of the teams
for November, when ancient rival
ries are to be settled, from the Octo-
ber skirmishes is an impossible task.
Weight counts, sheer strength counts
and training counts greatly; but in
the new game there is an element of
chance that may upset all expert
calculations. This is what makes
the new game more interesting to
the spectator and the player.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-24
Speaking for Himself

Professor George B. Mcclellan, of
Princeton University, has ideas as to
where lodges the potency of news
papers as infiuencers of public opin-
ion. He says that it lodges in the
headlines-that the arguments made
and the facts given in editorials are
futile.
Professor Mcclellan, a supporter
of Hylan, is, it would seem, true to
form. AS gentleman who long en-
joyed the favor of Tammany Hall he
naturally assumes that the way to
get elected is to deceive the public.
And, Of course, it is easier to falsify
in quick headlines than in editorial
articles, which are necessarily more
extended.
But does Professor Mcclellan ex-
actly say what he means? His real
point is that accurate headlines are
neutral. They must be crooked and
colored headlines, which, pretending
to tell truths, are in fact telling lies,
that he holds are influential. To
Professor Mcclellan may be left the
business Of drawing the conclusion
that the whole art of politics consists
in successfully cajoling the public. It
would be unkind for another to ana
lyze further.
A man who has been in politics of
course speaks of politics as he knew
and practiced it. Yet it is strange
that one who has been able to become
member of the faculty of an insti-
tuition of learning is apparently not
acute enough to perceive the implica-
tions of his statement-that he SAYS,
in effect, that if Hearst sufficiently
asserts the untrue in the headlines
and news columns of hi newspapers
the facts about Hylan are of no con-
sequence; and Hylan can count on
the deceived to elect him. Happily
there are citizens not as stupid as
professors think all are.

Let the Roads Bargain -

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The favoring of single classes
and groups has gone much too far OF
late years in the United States. The
present Administration is not entirely
free from criticism in this respect. It
is to be hoped that it will not disap-
point the public in the strike crisis.
The roads have been deprecated and
abused under government control. It
amounted to the largest confiscation of
private property perpetrated in recent
years.
10 turn back the roads and insist on
a rate reduction, at the same time
maintaining control of wage levels. is
merest mockery.
Let the labor board be dissolved
and let the roads bargain with the
unions on free and open basis, as any
other business would be allowed to do

Diplomatic Privilege

John Barleycorn's body may
molder in the grave, but his menda-
cious spirit still sneaks on. 1t ap-
proaches the porchea Of the ear and
whispers the tale, as distressing to
the vets as to the drys, that
the diplomats coming to Washington
are bringing cellars along. With
calculated callousness lists are given
of the beverages--of the Bordeaux,
of Burgundys and champagnes that
are straw clad for q journey-and
Of casks of ordinary win rouge and
vim blanc, once so we'll known to
the members Of the A. E. +.
1t is hardly necessary to deny
such stories. Distinguished for
eigners, even though they can give
the three-mile limit the laugh, never
abuse a privilege. If there is liquid
baggage it consists of bay rum or
toilet water. In America the dip
lonats will do as Americans do,
Of course. When they publicly dine
they will denurely stick to lemon
ade and grape juice. In the privacy
Of their own quarters, behind the
shelter of the Fourth Amendment,
the visitors may again do as many
Americans do; but there will be no
reporters officially present, and what
is not known is often as if it
never happened.
This correctness Of behavior will
be made not only in Difference to
American law but also to an
active French minority. For pro-
hibition has raised it's head in
France. Recently a we'll known
professor there was bold enough to
attack the deeply rooted French be-
lief that a glass Of wine is necessary
for the proper digestion of meal.
He also challenged the assumption
tEat the white and red children of
the wine press won the war. He
was oheretical enough to declare
that wine has not made France, any
more than coffee made Arabia or
tea made China. Not to the great
drink which the poilus variously
called "aromon" or "pinard" or
"electrique" does he ascribe the
Teutons' inability to pass.
That the professor is not alto
gether joke is indicated by the
remark of the serious Paris
Temps" which never jokes, that if
what he says is true the delegation
to Washington can do the work with
out bibulous preparedness, as it
were. But perhaps the "Temps"
will think differently should some
delegate fall a victim to the lure of
the bootlegger and forthwith pro-
ceed to shoot up the conference. The
voltage of hooch is high and the
French temperament may not be
sufficiently insulated.

The Stronger Union
Railroad Brotherhoods or the Ma
ton 2-Question Must Be Answered

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The whole country is now
stirred by simple question, to which
the answer is simple. Largely by the
efforts, not to say demands, Of the
railroad labor unions, the railroads are
now regulated by government. Rates
and wages are fixed not by but for
decreed. The railroad labor unions
now say: "Give that up or we will
strike, and stop travel and transporta-
tion on all roads" One can easily
imagine what they would say were the
shoe on the other foot-an increase Of
wages, the railroads saying: "Give
that up, or we will lock you out, and
stop all travel and transportation" In
their view, regulation means only
decision for them.
The simple question is what to do
about it, The simple answer is to
fight out now the whole theory, pur-
pose and effort-a government of the
labor unions, by the labor unions and
for the labor unions, enactments by
them and enforcement by strike 1t
is safe to say that no such idea of
government ever entered Lincolns
mind.
The danger has steadily grown by re-
peated instances of yielding to just such
demands, or rather orders Each sur
render has made labor more confident,
and its confidence has bred more ar
rogance. The one and only thing now
is a resolute "Thus far"-not shalt,
but-"hast thou come, but no further
1t is time that surrender came from
you, and not from the rest of the ma
ton"
Who shall say this? The country is
trying to say it, but it should be said
by some voice that can speak for all.
Many year ago Cleveland said some
thing under like circumstances that
should never be fogotten: "If it takes
the whole United States army to de-
liver postal card in San Francisco
it will be delivered" Let Harding
now make a statement, meant for the
nation, but addressed to the unions:
"You say that to enforce lawless de-
mand you will, SO far as you can, not
only paralyze all business, but, if pos
sible, starve the country into surren-
der once more. You have the power
to strike. SO has the nation. If you
strike, we will now settle once for all
whether your union or the national
Union is the bigger and stronger. You
have raised the black hag. It must
and shall come down"
GEORGE A. STRONG.
