Another quality that constitutes a
worthy goal Of school "endeavor is imag-
ination, and the teacher who keeps this
goal in view in every exercise of the
school deserves high praise. For imagi-
nation lies back of every invention, every
reform, and every phase of progress. 1t
takes the things that are and, weaves
them into new and better patterns. Un-
fortunately, much of our school work in
the past has had tendency to repress
imagination with consequent loss to
civilization. Henderson says AT its
best imagination is insight. As its all
sence is responsible for many of the
brutaliiies of social life. so its presence
is the direct source OF most of our social
amenities. of federation. charity, con-
sidera,ion--in a word. Of all those social

Mt. VERNON HAS NO
SCREENS TO REMOVE
New Statute Will Not Affect
Local Pool Rooms And
Soft Drink Places

There are no places in Mt. Vernon
that will be affected by the new anti.
screen statute recently enacted into
law by the state legislature, accord
ing to. Chief Of Police p. j. Parker to-
day. This statute is purposed to ap.
ply to soft drink places that were sa-
looms prior to the adoption of the 18th
amendment.
Very largely these places, after pro.
hibition became effective, everywhere
were converted into pool rooms and
soft drink places. Usually no change
was made in the arrangement OF the
furniture and the screens that were
a feature Of every saloon were allow
ed to remain I'm place. This practice
led to the passage of the new law pro-
hibiting' screens In pool rooms and
soft drink places.
Mt. Vernon bid farewell to the
screens some time before the 18th
amendment banished the saloons. The
screens were banned by a local ord.
nance several years before. This ex-
plains In brief how IL happens that
Mt. Vernon will be in no way affected
by the new law.
In other places where conditions
are otherwise the police officers are
directing the removal of the screens
and announcing they will enforce the
statute.

VICTORY FOR MINIMUM WAGE

Another victory for the minimum
wage has been achieved in Washing
ton. ID. C. The District minimum wage
board had fixed the rates for women
over 18 years of age employed in
cafes. clubs and hospitals at $3.50 a
week. The Childrens hospital chal-
lenged the law on the ground that
congress- had no authority to pass a
law interfering with the freedom OF
contract. The hospital asserted that
the $3.50 rate amounted to cOnflsca-
tion of property without due process
OF law and that It bred socialism.
The court of appeals held that
there rs no absolute freedom to do
as one Wills" and that the fourteenth
amendment protects against arbi.
trary privation or spoilation but does
not provide Immunity from reason.
able regulations for proper purposes"
1t ruled that the hospital should show
proof that the minimum wage law
was harmful. When this was not done
the court dismissed the claim AZ un-
founded, stating that the effect OF the
law was the opposite of harmful, and
that Congress has the right to en-
act laws for the promotion Of health,
safety, morals and welfare Of those
subject to It's Jurisdiction"
The United States supreme court
had previously upheld tho validity Of
Oregon's minimum wage act. In con-
nection with this recent decision 1t il
worth while to recall that employers
in many different lines-manufactur.
ers, department store heads. etc. have
issued public statements to the effect
that the minimum wage reacted to
the benefit Of employer as well as
employo.

CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT

1t is not likely that any choice
President Harding could have made
for the chief justiceship of the SUI
preme court would have pleased so
many people as the choice of Mr..
Taft. The former president has few
enemies and many friends. His pop
ularity has grown since he left the
presidency. His ability is recognized
by everyone, and his particular
strength is in the line of jurisprud.
ence. He Is recognized as combining
Judicial knowledge with judicial tenn
permanent to rare degree. II is sig
niflcant that at the time his selection
was announced he was engaged In ar
bitrating a big railroad controversy in
Canada.
The place of President Taft in his
tory is still open to question. History
will probably deal more kindly with
him than contemporary opinion did.
He goes, after brief interval. from
one Of the two biggest Jobs in Amer.
lea to the other biggest Job No man
has ever before filed both. He has,
therefore, an unprecedented oppor-
tunity.
At time when, as ordinarily con.
sidered, his career might seem almost
finished, he starts new career, full
of big possibilities, under the finest
auspices OF success. He may make a
greater justice than president.
