OREGON'S DOUBTFUL EXPERT
NIENp

After a vigorous campaign in Ore
gon over the initiative measure to
abolish private and parochlal schools
the proposition was carried. This ex-
traordinary result without parallel
elsewhere in the United States, seems
to be cxplainable by the strength Of
the Ku Klux Klan, reinforced by other
organizations accepting its specious
plea OF patriotic necessity. No evil
dence has been forthcoming that the
public school in oregon is in danger.
Opponents OF this measure were not
opponents OF the public school. They
included leading public-spirited citi-
zens OF every denomination, including
many who had no interest in the non
public. or semi-public. schools which
are now to be suppressed; except such
interest as was based on a desire for
justice, fairness and the public inter
est.
The issue involved is closely related
TO the right OF free steech. It Is also
true that the private school, specially
equipped to perform special service
not only supplements the public school
but aids it by suggestion. The public
school is not static. 1t changes, for
better or worse. II Is not in the best
position for improvement when It ha,
a monopoly.
oregon is still in the front rank al

has helped other states to avoid costly
ventures that were better not made

HURRY UP YOUR CHRISTMAS
NAIL

The ct. Joseph office In common
with all Of the other post offices Of
the country Is getting ready for the
Christmas rush and by the first Of next
month will be ready to carry the
Christmas gifts in any quantity. The
department is earnestly requesting
everyone to mail their gifts as early
as possible. the idea being to avoid
the usual rush at the last moment.
This is a wise suggestion. for late gift
packages are often lost, or not deliv-
cred until after Chrstmsa
1t Is figured that the carrying OF
Christmas gifts will cost the govern
ment around $5,00o,o0 or this sum
one million dollars will be paid to ex-
ira help 10 handle the mail; another
million will be spent for extra space on
trains carrying the gifts. The motor
vehicle service will cost, It is said, a
half million dollars extra. Nearly half
million dollars will be paid extra
carriers, In addition to other unusual
expenses.

SOME ARE sJ-nJrCT-To FITS

A maiden lady who devoted her en-
orgies to the cause Of oppressed
womanhood flew into tantrum be-
cause only one woman was elected to
congress the other day. Women
don't deserve anything better" she de-
clares, because women won't vote for
women, nor patronize women in bus
mess, nor consult women doctors, nor
retain women lawyers. Tho enraged
Gpinster further holds that women are
"a subject class" and will never get
anywhere until they combine in a
solid woman party.
This is too moderate. There ought
to be an amendment OF the constitu-
tion prohibiting males from occupying
more than half tho seats in congress,
and requiring that no moro males than
females be licensed to practice any
profession or be permitted to pursue
any livelihood. Doubtless tho wom-
ans party will bring this about in due
time but meanwhile It seems to us the
subject class Is doing pretty well. One
OF our French observers has said that
next to being an English duke he
would like to be an American woman,
and we can't understand his order of
preferences. Women may be a subject
class in this country, but they are GER
tainly not subject to their husbands.
Any one who goes to the grand opera
and sees the patient suffering In the
back seats Of tho boxes will realize
that.

women are a subject class, but we
