He and his estimable wife have
greatly endeared themselves to
the people here, not only of their
own creed, but to every one in the
community. and we feel that it is
a great loss to have them leave our
town. Tho they have been only
one year their simple quiet christ
ian lives have extended a wide in
fluence among all the people, and
it'll as been a great blessing and
benediction to- have had them pass
this way. Rev. Mr.. Galloway is a
strong preacher, always pleading
Gods love, but never fearing nor
failing to condemn sin wherever
found. His interest in anr love for
his fellow men together with his
strong personality will cause him
to be greatly loved anywhere, and
Mrs. Galloway is truly help-meet
to him in all his work, both of
them being the highest type of
Christians to be found anywhere.

resolutions concerning China.
The resolution as adopted by the
Far Eastern committee, it was ex-
planned was declaratory Of principle
against extension by foreign nations
of further special spheres of influence
or Of leased territory.
The committee adjourned today un-
til next Saturday, to give the japanese
and Chinese delegates further unham-
pered time for the separate Shantung
negotiations.
Other Factors Shaping Up.
While the proposal for four power
Pacific arrangement is gaining in
creased support, evidences are devel-
oping that other factors in the arms
conference are shaping up toward the
point of definite treaties or under
standings.
The latest situation to take promi-
nence in the discussions is that re-
lating to Notifications and naval bases
in the Pacific. There are intimations
that although that subject will not be
probably will be settled by a separate
treaty or some other form of inter
national agreement.
The British delegates understood
that the Japanese government, like
the British, has accepted the four
power plan in principle. The actual
status Of the situation still Is closely
guarded, but the outward signs sug-
gest that the conversations are tending
toward these separate agreements.

knee jerk can be controlled in part

of the sore muscles in the hip were
taken last night and here 1t was
agreed after some remarks by coun-
sci concerning the willingness or un

taken during the noon recess.

FRIEND OF THE THEATRES
President Mexico Has Helped Maay
Stranded Theatrical People

Los Angeles, CAL, December IT,
General Alvaro Obregon. president OF
Mexico, Is revealed as a friend Of the
theater in general and Of stranded
theatrical people in particular In tales
told here by troup Of Los Angeles
dancers
| The dancers, all Los Angeles girls
who were chaperoned by a Los An
geles woman, went to Mexico City to
entertain in connection with the Mex
lean Centennial celebration. Their
contract, they said, called for round
trip tickets.
But, they said, when their engage
ment was concluded, they were refSas-
ed transportation home. They appeal
ed in turn to representatives Of the
American state department, and 20
the secretaries Of the Mexican treas-
ury and interior. they declared, but
met only failure.
Then one of the girls managed TO
obtain an interview with President
Obregon, who paid the dancers' hotel
bill and provided them with tickets
back to Los Angeles. ln addition to
this, the girls related, President OBJ
regon provided transportat1on back to

five per cent of the school funds
were furnished by the local com
muniues. districts, towns and
townships. Writer'S on school Nm.
ances have urged that the state
ought to furnish from one third
Of the total school revenues.
In thirty seven states, which Is
about three fourths Of the states
Of the union, they receive con-
siderable less than one third OF
school funds from state sources,
In 1890, sixty seven and eighty
nine hundredths of the school
funds. were furnished by local
sources. Twenty three and sew
enty-five hundredths was furnish
ed BY the state. In 1918, seventy
five and three tenkhs per cent was
furnished by the local sources,
and sixteen and eight -tenths per
cent was furnished ty the states.
The remainder came from var
ious sources, the greatest de-
crease occurred in southern at
lantic and south central states,
Thus through the last hfty
years the Importance Of the state
has gradually lessened It's schooa
financial burdens.
In Colorado in the years from
1906 to 1913, the proportion Of
children not enrolled In schools
favored in different districts, tie
school year was from ninety eight
to one. hundred sixty seven days
and the expenditure per child was
from $21. to SIT.
Since one Of the three acid
tests of democracy In equality Of
opportunity it might well be ask-
ed If equality in the state. charac-
terized by such striking ineQuali-
ties can really be called Q demo-
cracy. If these conditions would
be true of Colorado and practical
ly every state in the union, II II
not that in every case conditions
are equally bad but in a large
number of the states they are far
worse.
The principal that the states
should be given authority to
establish educational equality has
long been recognized by many
states. A few states, namely
California and Colorado have de6
nitely taken such a position, but
these instances are not indicative
of the general tendency which IL
taken In the matter Of school re-
venues. II these inequalities are
to be corrected and the ills to be
cured the remedy must be found
through the states, providing suf-
ficient revenues, assisted by the
national government, to pay
large portion Of the school costs.

Judge Comstock spoke for few
moments on proper observation Of
the flag. He said he had noticed that
the flags of the schools sometimes
hang out on the flag pole during the
night. This is breach Of flag eti-
quette.
"One often wonders" said Judge
Comstock, whether this is the same
nation that cheered so wildly three
or four years ago. at the sight of the
flag, and for the men who so bravely
and unhesitatingly marched to war.
The people have suddenly lost inter-
est. There is much criticism of the

| school board have found it necessary
to ask for. But when one stops to
think Of the enormous wealth that
| goes for clothing, unnecessary food
and Injuries of all sorts it seems that
| that criticism is little hasty.
"T11is situation is going to require
constant carrying on by teachers and
parents. But 1t is very unfortunate

ers and mothers of the children in
school together to consider the vital
welfare of their children in the mat

to the advisability OF combining the

F. M. Currier said that he favored
fall, but doubted the advisability OF
combining county, state and national
elections with the city election. He
thought there would be danger of the
real issues Of the city being lost

reasons first stated by Mr.. Hammett.

Salaries Of City Officials.
f. M. Currier when called upon to
discuss the question OF salaries of
city officials, said that in the past
good men had served on the council
for from two to three dollars a meet
ing. They were just as good men
fhn0a
month for their services. He said
that he would like to see a president
and board of directors appointed.
and the business carried on some
thing like that of a bank. He would
like to see a superintendent for the
city appointed who would have the
right to hire and fire anyone who did
not come up to snuff, and that super !
intendent should be held responsible.
derstood from Mr.. Curriers' remarks
that he favored the city manager
plan. Mr.. Champlin thought that a
city manager was too much Of a
Jack Of all trades and master of
none" 1t narrowed the scope of
city government to one man who he
thought might be easily Influenced
by pet schemes.
Henry Himmelmann suggested
that the charter commission mem
bers get in communication with
the city officials of Dubuque which
has adopted the city manager plan.
Adolph Mueller was inclined to favor
the city manager plan. It was finally
decided to communicate with the
members of the Mankato Civic and
Commerce association and have that
body bring a speaker here from Du-
buque to speak on the city manager
plan at the Orpheum theatre.
The meeting was adjourned until
