TROUGH THE STORM.

The fine. hard snowfakes cut the faces of the one hundred or more men who yesterday followed the body of Emery c. Peterson to the grave pre- pared in Fairview cemetery. The dead man had fought in France: he died just after the fighting ceased-after he had done his part
 No storm could keep these men from paying their tribute to one who had made the sacrifice so many more stood ready to make while the enemy snarled at our doors. They almost re- veled in the chance to show their ad- miration for one who had paid the penalty so often imposed by duty. The pure whiteness of the drifting snow made more vivid the thought of the blood that flowed for our country.
 And thus. honored the faithful standing about the grave. the last of all that was mortal of another of our lads was laid at rest.

nounces. The higher the pay given teachers. the better men and women will be obtained; the clearer will be their vision of justice. It is a comics sion of ignorance to pretend to believe that. because such a gift is accepted by the Board of Education. such board would authorize propaganda unfriendly to labor.
 The deepest thinkers of the cuun- try realize the greatness of the aues- ton of labor and capital. They would scorn to prostitute their genius-and real thinkers often are included in this class-for the sordid motive suggested.
 If there Is to be a solution of the great question that solution will come from such men or those who studied under them.
 Those who believe that Labor has been treated unfairly in many in- stances. that class prejudice is wrong in every sense, would be wise to en- courage education in its every aspect. Labor should educate itself and en- courage education in others-the high est education. Only through education will peace come. and when it comes it will be the product of study. earnest, sincere study.

WINTER AND JITNEYs

Now. Sir Winter. you have proved to us that this is your season with your foot or more of snow yesterday. Now you may go on your way re- joicinE. leaving work for many men. fun for many children and a feel ing m the hearts of men that we have not been cheated out of our winter after all.
 You did it in beautiful, sincere way. Sir Winter. and incidentally cinched your job on a day when most folks could stay at home and be comfortable indoorF Of course one might have shovelled snow. but there was the excellent excuse that there was no good in so doing until the snow stopped coming.
 And incidentally. also. Sir Winter. you have wreathed some of the faces of tho Jitneymen with smiles. Reports of jitneys whizzing past blocked trolleys come in. On the Arch street line a trolley car was blocked from two o'clock yesterday at least until this morning. while three titneys operated over the street cleaned to certain extent by the city.
 The faithful who have patronized tho trolleyg all these months. were constrained to walk or pocket their pride and take bus. Those who have lone what appears to be the common-sense thIns. namely to take the conveyance that was most con- venlcnt at the moment. merely con- tinIed their habi; and. as there "as no trolley at all. they rode in jitneys. The man whose pre- eJudice was so gtroI that he would not patronizs the jltney under any circumstances just drowned anu walked.
 However one may insist that ,ie tro lev is neccscary. che cannot fail :riuruph for the J.,aey. IT sl,'" wcro some binding ordnance whe..- by t'.ey would be cbjIged to con tlnue their operation under all D ,s. s hlc conditions theIr case would be much stronger. If they were bound in ary way to do always as they diI yesterday and today. we would be l7ri.ned to placo mere reliance on thoIn.
 AS 1t IS one may but thank the jitneys and tho men who operate I them for living up to all they Ina: a promised.

 The superintendent must have been most unfortunate in his associations if he finds the people with whom he is throw have "outlawed" the correct Tt is l." or He doesn't" It is quite possible that he has been thus un- fortunate.
 Most of us make these mistakes oc- casionauy. recognize them as mistakes and are glad for the education that enables us. if we cannot speak cor rcctly. at least to be aware of our errors when we make them.
 Ability to speak or write good English is an asset. Often one is judged by ones ability to speak cor rectly. Many make their living by their Knowledge. more or less perfect in this matter. Were there to be al- lowed a departure from the recogniz- cd rules of grammar. in special com munities. the asset gained after years of practise and study would be taken from one. There would be no stop at County superintendent. Up in North ern New York. for instance, teachers might be allowed to teach pupils that There ain't no sich thing" was cor rect. There would be different ex- pressions in many different parts of the country. all allowable there. all smiled at among the educated of other communities.
 When a child goes to school or a parent sends one there. both have the right to expect that correct English will be taught, as the correct use of the multiplication tabes will be illus trated. A superintendent who fails to insist upon this teaching robs pupils of something they have a right to ex pect.
 It is suggested that the supcrinten- dent mingle n bit with the educated whom. because of his position. it would be expected he would know. It is believed that in such society he would find that Ut is l." and He doesn't' have not been outIawed.
 It is quite possible. too. that some of his pupils will some day desire to mingle in such society and be recognized as cultured educated per sons, even though the superintendent does not. They would be bit em- barrassed. probably. at the expressions on the faces of those with whom they talked, were any one of them to re- mark: Its me that does it: lie don't"

BROADWAY BAPTIST
HAS ANOTHER RED
LETTER DAY; II NEW
MEMBERS RECEIVED

sunday was another red letter day at
the Broadway Baptist church. Great
crowds thronged every service and at
night many were turned away from
lack of room. Seventeen new mem
bers were received during the day,
making total Of eighty seven during
the past eight days. At the close OF
the evening service thirty six were bap-
tized and fourteen more await bap-
tism. AT the morning service DR.. r.
L. Davidson, spoke on the Tender
ness and Compassion" of Jesus, from
the text, ga bruised reed shall He
not break and smoking flax shall He
not quench, till He send forth judg-
ment unto victory" He said in part:
The tenderness and compassion Of
Jesus are in marked contrast to the
severity and intolerance of men. II
is fearful thing to fall into the hands
OF an angry man. John, the beloved
apostle wanted TO call down fire from
heaven to burn up a city that refused
TO entertain him and his Lord The
Pilgrim Fathers fled from the perse-
cutions and intolerance Of Europe and
sought an asylum in America. When
they first landed they fell on their
knees and then they proceeded to fall
on the aborigines. They visited on
others the same persecution from
which they fled from Europe. How.
ever, wayward and inconsistent Christs
disciples may be, He never fails In
tenderness ana compassion in HIS deal
ings with them.
The Weakness ChriSt'S Disciples
Christ compares His disciples tc
bruised reeds and smoking flax, or "a
smoking lamp wick. A bruised reed
and a smoking lamp wick are weak
worthless and offensive. The bruised
reed is $50 weak II cannot hold mp its

They are so weak that they fall
