united CITY, COUNTY
SCHOOL DISTRICT IS
POSSIBILITY, JESSUp

Addresses by Attorney Wilfred Jes
sup and Principal E. C. Cline, featured
the afternoon program a. Morton high
school, delivered in recognition Of edu-
cation week. Thursday. About 500
patrons of the school We're present.
Future development of the school
system of the city and county was
the theme of talk given by Attorney
Jessup. Among the possibilities of
the future, he said, was that of a
united city and country school dis
trict. under the direction of a joint
school board, made up of the present
city school board and the county su
perintendent of schools. This plan
already has been put into action il
other parts of the state
No official action to put such
plan into effect has yet been taken
and a number of minor details would
have to be cleared up before it could
be proposed, according to c. o. VIII
liams, county superintendent OF
schools.
Advantages of Plan.
Advantages of such a plan from the
standpoint of the township, according
to superintendent Williams. are that
a number of buildings on the outskirts
of the city could be eliminated and
their pupils sent to the city schools,
without the expense to which the
township is now subjected. The city
would receive tuition fees from the
country.
Principal Z. c. Cline discussed the
growth of the city during the period
from 1910 to 1920. Principal Cline at
tributed the rapid growth of the high
school to the variety Of courses OF
study which are being offered to meet
the needs OF the students and the DEM
Ccratic policies in the schools.
We learn to live in democracy by
living about democracy" was the ODln-
ion of Mr.. Cline. The high school
system has become so complex that
the teachers must study continually to
keep up with their work with the
pupils"
Urges Cooperation
In closing, Principal Cline urged the
parents to visit the school and keep
posted on the methods and accomplish
ments of the students in their prepara-
tiOn for the work to come when they
enter the business life.
Music was furnished by the high
school sextet, and by the high school
orchestra, led by Prof. J. E. Maddy
The sextet was in charge of Miss
Juliet Nusbaum.
The room taught by Miss Foulke al
the Finley school received the prize
for obtaining the largest number OF
members to the parent teachers assO
citation. About $50 visitors attended
the various classes during the evening
One hundred and seventy-five par
ents visited Vale school Thursday
night at their session and witnessed
the work of the various classes, which
run at regular periods during the
evening
Special Session
High school held a special session
from the hours of 3 to o'clock Thurs
day, which was open to the parents
and all the interested citizens in the
city. Announcement was made Fri
day that over 500 visitors were at the
high school during the special pro
gram. It was estimated that about
SEQ pupils and visitors were served

LINDSEY AND TIE LAY.

When Juage Ben Lindsey Of Colorado declared there Is nothing right about the situation which exists whereby the rich can have their cellars full of li- quor whi the poor man has none he siu get whole lot of sympathy for Jhe stand that he takes because of the feeling that one man IS as good as an- ether. The law doesn't discriminate, however. although circumst tances do. fAe poor man doesn't have a cellar flIl ot liquor bscause he couldn't afford to stock it up. even when it was lawful 70 do SC. lie didn't put thousands into booze for the same reason that ne didn't purchase an imported automobile
 But when the judge refuses to carry out the provisions of the law against trio of young men, who had been giy- Ing liquor to girls, because the poor have as much right to liquor as the licf have, he again takes a view of his re responsibilities as d judge that cannot win support.
 As long as the prohibition law re. mains on the statute books there car be only one duty Of the judge in who's court vioiators are presented provided the charges have been proved. The law should be upheld against the rich a, well as the poor and it doesn't appea. that the rich have been getting any spe cial cGsideration from his court. Be cause these young men had liquor di, not necessarily make them law breaker but apparently from such use as the, 'ri.Ge of it theg were law breakers an go recognized D. the judge who refuse D uphold the law because somebod, tise had cellar full of liquor
 Judge Lindsey carried the idea tha he was above the law in a recent ia nous case. He seemed to carry tn Idea that his responsibility was to ai in covering up crime, in order not | destroy the confidence of a boy wh had confessed to him. In the presen Instance, if the reported circumstance are correct, he likewise stands agains tbe We fare Of society when he refuse 10 apply the law by which he is sur posed Co be governed.

Passionate Hands

Right at the outset it must be stat cd that this business of holding hands is one which must be discussed crcum- specify.
 Our Ioophole is this; it isn't really necessary to hold a persons hand con- tinuously to decide whether he or she is one possessed of an excess of ardor and emotion. If you're reasonably quick about it you can find out all you want to know simply by shaking hands. Even demon" chaperons can not prevent slight lingering of the handcIasp. And it isn't necessary to let it finger longer enough than to indicate a certain degree of cordiality.
 All you have to find out is whether the persons hand is hot. A hot hand indicates hot blood, not so much in the literal as in the figurative sense.
 It doesn't make any difference whether hand is moist or dry. That is of physiological significance only.s EX- cept it is well to remember that a hand which perspires freely will be colder than it normally is if the wealth CT is cold and the hand ungloved. Such persons are not only likely to display ardor in their affections and friendships, but have a tendency to be hot-headed, generally, resentful of in- suits or fancied ins,Ilts, but equally ready to forgive and forget.

CHINA AND JAPAN.

Japan's hope v clearing up the sit uatton in the far ~ast existing between itself and China before the opening of the conference on the limitation of arm an1ents seems to have gotten a set back. In response to the proposition that was made to China by Japan con- corning the evacuation of Shantung peninsula China lets it be known that il Ls unwilling to accept the provisions thereof. and in so doing it's action is not so different from that what was expected.
 China informs Japan that it desirei the complete evacuation of Shantung peninsula regardless of any issues tha may be pending concerning China anC 1t is unfavorable in it's attitude towart the proffered policing of the railroad therein by Japanese troops.

UPPER s1LEsIA AGAIN.

, There can be no great surprise ever the indicated dissatisfaction concerning what is believed to be the decision of the league of nations concerning the di- vision of Upper Silesia. It was one of the thankless tasks imposed by the trea- ty of Versailles and no matter what the decision was there would have been op- position from some direction.
 By the treaty it was agreed that there should be a plebiscite in Upper Silesia for the determination of what should be done in the way of breaking it up. Ina vote of the people was taken un- der difficulties and followed by serious trouble. It showed where the Po.es and ! the Germans were in the majority. AS might have been expected it did not re- veal a situation that indicated that l those directly concerned would he sat
 isied to have line drawn in accord ance herewith. Nevertheless 1t would appear that that is what has been fol.
 lowed by the counci! of the league 1T making the distribution, and more thar Germany is dissatisfied.
 The question in Upper Srasia revoivet
 about the rights of Poland and they ap
 pear to have received attention Tc lsatisfy the Poles meant to dissatisfy
 Germany. To satisfy both was not DOS
 sible. Thus it would aprear that th
 p:ebiscite had been followed as the wa!
 Of reaching a solution, Whether the de
 cision when officially announced vii
 differ from what has been indicated vii
 be awaited With interest tut the indi
 cations are that peace and contentmen will not be established in Upper silesii by the decision.

there is a sui-able occasion presented, the. inference from which is that it is unwilling to accept Japan's proposition on the eve of the coming conference at which questions involving the Pacific will be brought up for discussion and understanding. China evidently believes that Japan is endeavoring to keep th's question away from the conference while it is desirous itself of having it come before it, apparently feeling that it will get justice thereby.
 Such questions concerning the Pacific as the conference will take up are bound to be of much importance. That China will play a considerable part therein seems likely, and while it is not the case that Japan will be obliged to carry out such decision as may be reached concerning those problems and those in volving China it seems only likely that it would give weighty consideration to whatever agreement is reached by the delegates.

HIS CASE OF STAGE FRIGHT

What are you worrying about?' asked the sympathetic roommate of the sadden- ed young man with the beetling brows, who was looking out of the window blackly.
 T was considering Albania Checkers" confessed the saddened young man. I've been going around there such a lot and"
 You don't mean you are hesitating at the brink after your irnpetuous and en- thusiastic race, do you?" demanded his friend in astoniShment. Why, for months and days you have made it per fectly clear that unless you succeeded in winning Albania's. hand your career was utterly finished"
 Albania is too beautiful and too popu- lar' was the astonishing statement made by her pessimistic suitor. What if she should continue to be so popular after we were married? Where would I come in? And then her hands,
 How many times have I heard you rave over the perfection of Albania's handsr reproved the roommate. You said no girl ever had such beautiful hands, so wondrously tinted. with such perfect nails You don't mean to say you object to k~r hands"
 They are gooC hands to look at, all right" the dubious young man admitted
 but what the deuce will she do with 'em when the cook leaves and she has to peel potatoes? Or dust? Those hands are perfectly all right when you call in the evening. but what if I should lose my job and Albania had to turn in and digi It has just occurred to me" Tt certainly is queer how these things strike a man interjected the sympa- thetic roommate. Not for single min ute when he is introduced does he in dulge in this nonologue privately: Good 1 evening Miss Checkers! I wonder how 1 long a time you waste every day making ] up that complexion, and l don't think ! ever saw such useless hands in my life 1 lou are so gracefully languid that you't 1 let the family starve to death bel < 1 you'd bestir yourself to hustle aroun( 1 and get a meal, and, nc doubt, you'd dis l play a horrid temper if anybody asked l you to Your smile is a shade too swee l to be real, and that Ws-sa-eyed innocenc l simply isn't.

BEAsoNABLE LIMITATION.

Those who carry the idea that the conference for the limitation of arm snonts has been called with the idea of bringing about total disarmament are 'sboring under misapprehension. Whether Secretary Hughes saw the posSi i5ility of that idea being gained from calling it the disarmament con- ference or not, the recent reference to the correct name Of the conference was well caiculatd 10 overcome such possibility. Through misunderstood ing of the object aimed at it would cas- Ly be possible to consider the confer ence a failure although it had succeed e5 in accomplishing all that had been undertaken.
 That total disarmament Is not aimed ar should be fully understood. That would mean an end to all armies and nayies and even though that might be regarded as highly desirable from ar ideahstic standpoint yet the impossibi- ity Of obtaining any such end in tht coming conference must be readily un- derstood If the ends sought in a linn itation Of armaments are reached de cided progress in the right direction vii have been made.
 IL is interesting 10 note the position that is taken by President Harding con cerning this question. Replying to ont who had urged total disarmament, ant explaining that such was not the pur pose of The conference he explains wha he means by reasonable disarmament ny writing. By reasonable disarma u7ont mean something practicable tha there is chance to accomplish, ra ther than an ideal that there woult be no chance to req ize. It is necessar! '1 deal with actualities; 10 do the bes possible Universal disarmament woult tc beyond hope Of realization; even it desi-ab.fty al this time might be Ques uoned. Thousands of years of histor. recording the wars and controversies O mankind suggest that human natur, would require revolutionary reorganizu ton 10 make universal disarmament possible"
 The conference isn't going to attemp any zuperhumau feat. Not one of tn countries participating would listen t total disarmament but there is reaso 70 believe that all are concerned to greater or less degree in a limitatio that can be accomplished through
 common agreement.

PHuANnER c. KNox.

One of the prominent figures connect ed with national affairs for the past two decades has been Philander c. Knox. He has rendered signal ser vice to lis country in several capacities, and no matter where he was placed, whether as a member of the presidents cabinet or in the senate of the United States. his opinions carried great weight. Senator Knox was nearing the three score and ten age but had been in vigorous health so that his sudden taking away comes as 3 surprise and shock not only to his immediate family and official Washington but to the entire country,
 Senator Knox was a man of high le- gal attainment. He was thoroughly grounded in the principles of law and he was one whose opinion was not warped by expediency. That was man. ifested on many occasions as big Ques- tions were referred to him for an ex- pression regarding the law in such cases.
 Highly valuable service was rendered by him as attorney general in lhe cab inet of Mckinney which apponfment marked his entry into national service and subsequently in the Taf; admins l tration when he was named to that inn i portant office of secretary of state. Sim narly has there been distinct'ca in the | record that he has made as United States senator and particularly so ir connection with the Versailles treaty i Against the ratification of that docu- ment he took a leading part and tc him must be given much credit for tn' course that was followed Other out
 standing service was connected with thu | Panama canal the arranging of arbi tration treaties with Great Britain ant | France, the establishment of Q court 0 justice in Central America and durfn the time he was at the head of the de
