Illinois Republicans
Lining Up for 1924

Springfield. Ill.,, Dec. 9--Rumblings
of a bitter fight between the ''wets "
and "drys" over the privilege of nam
ing the speaker of the lower house OF
me Illinois General Assembly which
cenvenes here early in January, al
ready are being heard.
The "drys" aided by the state adj
ministratiou forces, elected a dry
speaker two years ago. The Illinois
Anti-Saloon always has denied it had
an understanding with the state ad-
ministration on the speakeyship and
on certain legislation, but the "wets"
insist such an agreement was car
ried out.
At the November elections the
"wets" gained considerable strength
and say they have enough votes TO
name a speaker regardless o. any
combination between the Anti-Saloon
League ard the state administration
forces.
Less talk is heard among promin-
ent Republicans of the state these
days about the impeachment of Gov
ernor Len Small for alleged misuse
of state funds while he was state
treasurer. The strength developed by
the Democrats in the November cleo
tons has convinced the state G.. o.
p. leaders that another bitter in
ternal quarrel, such as an impeach-
ment certainly would arouse would
endanger the Republican state ticket
two years hence and might swing
Illinois into the Democratic column
nationally.

Dead Letter Business
Shows Great Decline

More care is being exercised by
mailers in addressing letters and par
els according to figures from Dead
Letter Office for the past fiscal year
showing a decrease of sixteen per cent
of the former and fifteen per cent OF
the latter which find their way to
that office.
Despite the improvement, however,
16.586,419 letters and 620,203 pack
ages were undelivered during the year.
The Holiday mail is responsible for
a considerable part of the dead let
tiers, as indicated by an approximate
increase for the month Of December OF
25 per cent over other months.
During the year 100000 letters
without any address whatever were
sent to the Dead Letter Office. Thou
sands Of such letters come in with
the Christmas mail, many Of them con-
tanning small amounts OF money or
money orders.
The reduction in the volume of dead
letter mail during the past year is at
tributed by postal officials principally
TO the charge Of three cents for the
return of each letter opened, reenvl-
oped. and redirected, and to the cam
paign of publicity carried on by the
public press.
It is estimated that the loss to the
general public, largely through neg
lect amounted to nearly half a mil
lion dollars, or $423,000 during the
wear. Postage amounting to approx
mately 1891, 1883 was prepaid on
the unbelievable mail while an add
tional amount Of s92,099.79 for re-
turning letters which did not bear the
sender's address on the envelope.
The loss to Uncle Sam in time con-
suped in endeavoring to locate ad-
dresses or senders before the mail IS
sent to the Dead Letter Office cannot
no estimated. The cost Of maintaining
the eDad etter Office is in itself no
small item. Then there are the clerks
and carriers who, especially at Chist-
mas. are worked overtime trying to
make the day a happy one Tor others
The Dead Letter Office also noted a
decrease of more than 114,0O0 mde-
liverable letters returned from Tor
eign countries, although this mail ag-
orerated over 100000 during the year.
The total revenue derived from the
dead-letter service was $2S9, 49l.O9 o.
which 1884 ,4sO.97 was turned over 10
the Finance Division for deposit.

Lucky Thirteen

Washington, Dec. 9-Is No. ID a
lucky number? Gu
The American history class at Shep
herd College State Normal, Shep-
herdstown. W. Va, claims Amerl-
can history shows that the number
has been fortunate one for the
United States, and wants the Post
O;ce Department TO issue a 13-cent
stamp.
Stamps of numerous denominations
recently we're issued by the Post Or
flee Department, but the stamp max
ers were superstitious, so the 13-cent
variety was skipped. ,,o,
The class, in its claim that 10
is not am unlucky number, has the
support of former President WOOD,
row Wilson, whose name contains 10
letters and who always ttated the
number was lucky one for him.
As evidence that 70 has been a
Incllv number for the United States,
the class presented the following rea-
sons:
/. America was discovered on the
eve of the thirteenth of the month. -,
3 The original republic consisted
of thirteen colonies.
3. The first official flag had thir-
teen stripes and thirteen stars.
4. Our national emblem the Amer
lean Eagle, requires thirteen letters
to spell it; also does our motto, "E.
Pluribus Unum."
5. The first word to pass over the
Atlantic cable was sent on the thlr-
teenth Of the month.
6. Oar silver quarter is written all
over with thirteen. Around the head
of liberty ar THIRTEEN stars. The
eagle bears al olive branch with thir-
teen leaves in one claw and thirteen
thundorbolts in the other. On ms
breast is shield bearing thirteen
bars and from his beak is ribbon
bearing the motto with thirteen let
ters. Each wing has thirteen feath-
erS.
Z. There are thirteen letters IN
John Paul Jones' name.
g. There were thirteen ships in the
first American Navy.
8. Perry's victory on Lake Erie
was won on the thirteenth day Of The
month.
10 The Stars and Stripes were rails
ed over Fort Sumter on the thlr-
teenth of the month.
II. General Pershing reached
France on June 13, 1917.
L. The thirteenth amendment to

SOME REASONS FOR AND AGAINST
THE NEW PUBLIC SCHOOL LAWS

ports the public school with his money
he should also support It with his in
terest which is expressed in finest
fashion by the presence OF his child
| in the public graded school.
The champions Of the law say fur
Their that it will aid in effective Amer
icanization and the leveljng OF caste
and social grade by throwing child
rem from all walks of life together In
common center of education at the
ages when snobs are made. IL VIII
do away with ''fatherland" influence,
inculcated in the various language
schools. Ii will make, more schools
available, since Oregon at least nVe
pupils are necessary to open school
and in district where there are only
item children, and six of them are sent
to private schools, the remaining four
must travel considerable distances
daily in many cases, to attend the
nearest graded school.
The opponents of the law maintain
that it will be an infringement OF
their constitutional right to send their
children to school wheresoeYer they
please, and to educate them as they
see fit. This apparently is the main
argument against the blk There are
those who mairtain that the bill is
direct slap at certain religious sects.
This opinion arises from the fact that
the endorsers of the bill chiefly were
Professionals and Protestant organiZa-
tions. Yet records shaw that many
Protestant organizations condemned
the bill for constitutional reasons.
Many Catholics ard Jews voted for
the bill, thousands of Protestants
against it.
II had been claimed prior to the
election that the Ku KluX Klan and
the Scottish Rite Masons railroaded
the bill down the -throats of pro
testing citizenry. 1t is true that both
these organizations endorsed the
spirit of the bill. But so also did the
Federated Patriotic Societies. State
ments pro and con, even now that the
law is an accomplished fact, with rea-
sons for and against its constitutional
ity, together with common opinions
on its probable effects, are but proof
that this particular election problem
is still shrouded by the veil of specu-
lation. Oregon has not come down
to earth on the measure, and as Sep
TENDER /, 1926 is far in the future
apparently it is the will Of the ma
| jority that sufficient unto the day is

CHAPTER II


| Portland, Ore, Dec. ga spirit OF
speculative quiet hovers over the
state of Oregon following the appro-
val at the general election polls of the
so-called Compulsory Education bill,
which requires all parents, guardians
and those having charge OF children
between the ages of eight and sixteen
the Grammar school age" to send
them to the state public schools.
The 2lG,512 and more voters who
cast their ballots on this measure
are wondering, now That the imtlatlve
bill has become law, just what VIII
be it's effect upon the state IN par
ticular and upon the United States
in general The bill passed by nearly
ID 900 majority. The bills passage
was decisive. There was no doubt
but that the people wanted it.
A great many people who voted
for the hill are wondering now just
why they voted for it. Many OF
those who opposed it with their bal
lots are wondering why. they did.
The state has four years in which to
prepare for the actual operation OF
the law, since although it is a law
now and goes on the statute books
following the governors proclama,-
ton announcing its passage, 1t Will
not take actual effect until September
/, 1926.
The limitation of the private school
and of the church parochlal school is
seen by many as the chief effect the
law will have, since by placing all
children of grammar school age IN
the public schools it will heavily de-
plete the ranks of those who go to
church and other privite schools. But
it will not necessarily cause the elmi-
nation of the private schools, for be-
fore the age of eight, and after the
age of sixteen, or after the child has
completed the eighth grade regard
less Of what its age may be, parents
may use the private school. Thus
many school will be converted for
kindergarten work, while others viii
become college preparatory schools.
Oregon imposes general school
tax and many school districts IN the
several counties impose an addition
al tax. This tax, while small, is paid
by every property owner, regardless
of whether he has children to send TO
school and regardless of whether pc
sends them to the public schools. Inc
! champions of the bill maintain that
since every Oregon citizen thus sup
