 LEGION
(Thr Observation I'osD

A certain educational authority in the States recently made the an nouncement that the American His tory for school study should be re- vised He is credited with having said that ''it was an affrOnt to the real mistress of the seas (mearing England) to have John Paul Jones and Oliver Hazard Perry proclaimed as superior to the British admirals of that period" He also wishes other victorious points in our War of Independence blunted so as not to reflect too greatly on the prowess of the British
 We wish to remind this propagan- dist that when John Paul Jones and Oliver Hazard Perry sailed out t3 meet their British foes, they were handicapped with poorer vessels, were numerically weaker, and had only makeshift implements of war fare------Yct they licked their naughty contemporaries to Il oHai frazzle Wherein can the question Of superiority be raised? Certainly the Kings admirals were only too glad to admit it.
 Let us have friendly relations with England: she is mighty power and So are we. We ought to make every effort to create harmony and D rallelism of thought between the two. but let us not hide from our school children the triumph of our torefathers over despotism; the cost of our liberty. or the quality of the sturdy men who gave us America. They have right to know these things.

s cry OF Agriculture, declared that
Ut - there is a quick reduction il

Tie lighting effect upon agriculture Of
the resent high rates, he sad, can
hardiy be comprehended.
, VIZ. Wallace is, of course. right in
his statement that these exto:;ionate
rates are hardship alike to the farmer
and the consumer. He could have very
properly added that they are harming
every other sort of business activity,
for the railroads are sitting production
tind the exchange of commodities by
lhcir unreasonable demands.
Why is it that railroad executives
seem so utterly unable to accommodate
themselves to circumstances

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.

We are inclined to agree with State
Superintendent OF Schools George NJ.
Fcrd in his attitude on college sports.
He is quoted as saying at a meeting Of
high school principal in Clarksburg
recently that he feared athletic sports
are running of with the school sys-
TEN OF the State. He further said that
while he believed in physical edu-
cation to the proper extent, he does not
believe that it is a part OF the public
school system TO find who is the bes,
physical man on earth.
We commend Captain Ford's views
TO the thoughtful consideration Of the
people. The Register is enthusiastic
ally in favor Of school athletics
loves baseball and football and bas-
ketDall and these things that make for
sports OF the right sort But what
place, for instance, can semi-profes-
sional wrestling matches have in our
school life? Will not the next step
be boxing contests and prize fights?

SAVING AT THE BUNGHOLE.

The new tariff bill now before the
Senate ostensibly gives the agricultural
industry certain advantages that will
please the farmers. II is true that
there are increases in the tariff on Ger,
tain agricultural products that might
possibly affect prices; but for every
dollar the farmer may save at the bung-
hole he is certain to lose two or three
at the spigot, for the advance in prices
on articles he will have to buy will far
exceed that on the things he has to
sell

A DILEMMA.

Congress stoutly maintains that it
intends to pass the soldiers bonus bill
at this session, for the political leaders
feel that the party needs the votes
which the bill is supposed to buy. On
the other hand, the people who will
have to foot the enormous bill are
threatening what they will do il the
burden is placed upon them, and big
business says that there will be a short
age of campaign contributions if the
Republicans tax it for this purpose
Unhappy majority!

Civil War veteran whose death re-
suited from injuries received or di-
sease contracted in the service receiv-
ed as much as SIP per month until
over 20 years after the close Of the
war. Their pensions remained at
$l2 until 1916, when they were in
creased to $50 per month, so that it
was not until % years after the
close of the war that the widows Of
Civil War veterans could receive a
pension except upon proof that the
soldiers's death was of service
origin.
"Widows of veterans Of the Span
ish War have never beeen allowed n
pension of more than SIP per month;
and prior to the passage of the Sells
Act they were never allowed that
except in case where the soldiers
death was due to injury received or
disease contracted in the service.
Il want to say, in connection with
insurance, that $4,000 claims have
already beeen allowed; that there is
still in force insurance to the amount
of $3,500,000, 600, and no Government
ever made such provision before for
the soldiers of any war. They are
handling at the department 1000 new
Claims every day, in addition to the
100000 already on file, and employ
ing 1000 ex-service men in carrying
out the work.
'In addition to the above, the Vete-
rams Bureau has allowed 100000
compensation claims, and has paid
out in compensation benefits $780,
100000. We are mailing out ESQ.,

San Diego, Calf, Aug. 21.-
American fiappers must do their
Tapping on the Volstead side of the
International boundary-at least SO
far as southern California is con-
cerned.
Herbert Sallee, probation officer
for San Diego county, so decreed
today. He declared an embargo on
unchaperoned minors at the GUS
toms gate to Tia Juana, 16 miles
south of here, and now will urge
that similar action be taken at all
border cities.
According to Salee, scores OF
youngsters-boys and girls-have
been entering Mexico in search CT
pleasures banned this side Of the
line. All southern California cities
have contributed, to the quota.
Many have been high school boys
and girls who have tried to week
end" in Tia Juana. The Mexican
city, he says, is no place for Ameri-
can minors.
Two high school lads from Santa
Monica, who had been attending
q reserve officers training camp,
have just been rescued from the
Mexican quarter through Salee's
efforts. They wore parts of their
uniform across the line and were
arrested and jailed as soldiers.
Girl, IA, Elopes With Mex.
A 14-year-old girl from San
Diego suburb eloped across the
boundary with 21-year-old Mexi-
can last week and they were mar
ried by the Jefe Politico of Tia
Juana. The child is a ward of the
county and will be taken from her
young husband if she comes back
across the line.

RAID RADICAL OFFICES after WRECK
High School Boys and Girls
, Go to Tia Jllatla, Get Drunk,
Probation Officer Asserts

Three high school girls and three
boys from Hollywood have been re-
leased from custody on probation
following a tour Of Tia Juana in
an automobile borrowed" from one
of the boys parents. A boy Of II
and girl of IA, both from Los
Angeles. made the trip in q motor
cycle and were arrested in an in
toxicated condition when they got
back here. The mother of the girl
has had the boy arrested. In all
there have been total Of Is minor
cases recently reported to the
courts here as result of the trips
across the border and it is this con-
dition that has aroused Salee.
Blames Parents, Cites Example.
"Carelessness and too much lib
erty in the American home is be-
hind all this" said the probation
officer today. Jazz, liquor in the
homes and automobiles at the free
disposal of the children all do their
part. But carelessness ON the part
of the parents is, the chief cause.
Here is an illustration.
"a Seattle woman drove down
the border few days ago with her
15-year-old daughter. The woman
checked her valuables at the bor-
der but took her daughter with her,
When they came back at night the
child-she had just celebrated her
18th birthday-was in a drunken
stupor. The mother was arrested
for contributing to juvenile delin-
quency. But we didn't have the
legal requirements to make the
charge stick. The mother was the
wife of big lumberman but that's
all she cared for her daughter.
when folks take as good care Of
their children as they do of theil
valuables we won't have to halt oul
| fiappers at the border. They won
be going there.
