denied politics plays any part in the
schools. He said that during his term
of office the Mayor never had made any
suggestions to him concerning appoint
ments. The whole interest OF Mr.. Hylan,
he added, seemed to be centered in the
building of new school houses.
Mr.. Prall. in denying that there is any
politics in New YorlS's school system,
pointed out that during his administra-
ton the political affiliations of candi-
dates for positions under the Board OF
Education were not given consideration

Gratis were appointed to these positions.

MIR. Prall said he interpreted the at

Gov Miller returned TO Albany with
out further comment on the schools. In
lis address Saturday night at lie Real
Estate Board dinner he did not specify
what particular happening In school
affairs provoked his statement that
when the city administration extends
political influence into the scnool sys-
tenn the State must step In at once
and stop it,"
1t was generally understood. however,
that the Governor had in mind the re-
cent controversy between Superintendent
William i. Ettinger and Ms Grace
Strachan Forsythe over Mrs. Torsythe's
appointment as associate supes intend
ent. Neither Supt. Ettinger for Mrs.
Forsythe was at home yesterday.

Gov Milers declaration that the
State must save the city's SCHOOLS from
the pollution of Shiny politics" found
endorsement yesterday in the opinion
of at least one member sof the Board
of Education. Arthur s. SCners ex-
pressed himself entirely in accord with
this view.
Il THINK the Governor is quite right,
Mr.. Somcrs said III the situation is
time somebody stepped in. There is al
ways politics in the school systtm, but
| believe it is possible to find the right
men and women to run ii. Education
should be an entirely independent func-
tion."
Frank D. Wilsey, who resigned from
the board last year. said the re;.son he
quit was because it had become patent
that the schools were mixed Up with
politics. Four members of the Bard of
Education dominate everything. he as
serted
Mr.. Wilsey suggested that the char
ter revision commission take copsidera-
ton of the school situation and make
education entirely separate from the
city charter. There should o. state
law governing the school, Mr. Wilsey
said. So long as the Board OF Esti-
mate furnishes the money to support
the schools there is bound 20 be politics
in the system, he declared. With a
small Board of Education. as Is ow the
case. 1.-The political element is particu-
larly strong, he believes.

Under strict Interpretation OF the

JOBLESS VETERANS
IN DESPERATE NEED

Col. Z. a. Kimball OF the Salvation
Army, asserted yesterday that the plight
of destitute war veterans is desperate
and that the necessity Of doing some
thing for voorhees,. penniless and often
i'll former soldiers constitutes one of the
biggest jobs the Salvation Army has on
hand to-day. Moreover. the work must
go on indefinitely from the look Of
things, Col Kimball said. adding:
1.-THE plight of the war veterans is a
matter Of paramount concern to the
Salvation Army. Senator Kenyon of
Iowa recently made our activity in this
work the subject of an address in the
Senate. and his story at that time il
Illustrates just what we are prepared to
do for the fighting man Of America who
is down on his luck. We saw them i'm
action I'm France. lived with them and
shared their hardships. Hence, the
Salvation Army can never forget it's
obligation. Here is what Senator Ken
yon said:
"T was called TO the anteroom OF the
Senate and there was a man who said
he was soldier from Iowa. He was a
veteran OF the Rainbow Division. He
had 80 cents in his pocket and had
brought his sick wife and baby from
New York. They were hungry. This
boy had seventeen shrapnel wounds from
which he had recovered. He could get
no help from other organizations be-
cause they had too many cases 90 han
die SO he turned in desperation to the
Salvation Army. These good people
took this family, clothed them. fed them
and sent them to Iowa. II there Is an
institution on the face OF the earth
that follows Che teachings Of the Naza-
rene il is the Salvation Army. I have
seen its great work not only at the
front in time of war but at the front
i'm time of peace"
Col ISimball referred 20 the Salvation
Army's campaign which begins next
month, saying he was confident that the
response would be as generous as 1t had
always been.

HIS Chief Opposition.

The chief opposition that Mr.. Hearst
might encounter would be from the
Baruch- McAdoo combination, which is
keeping a pretty close eye on national
committee affairs. The combine fell
short of majority in the contest over
the national Craftsmanship at st. Louis
two months ago
Mr.. Wilson could undoubtedly stop
Mr.. Hearst If his health permitted him
10 assume direction of the opposition.
Put up TO date Mr.. Wilson has re-
Trained from taking hand in partisan
politics. It is doubtful whether the
Baruch- McAdoo clique could head or
Mr.. Hearst without the help of Mr.
Wilson even if Mr.. Baruch recruited
financial help in Wall Street to do so.
Mr.. Hearst would not be under the
necessity of invoking the aid OF that
demooratically unpopular source Of
supplies. Democratic leaders who arc
looking expectantly toward Mr.. Hearst
credit him with having already built
UP program calculated to attract all
elements of dissent In the national
population.
He is against the foreign policies of
both the Harding and Wilson admins
trations. He is the leading editorial,
champion OF the agricultural bloc. He
is for the bonus regardless OF where
the money comes from. lie is for the
Eighteenth Amendmcnt-with slight
He is for the Nineteenth

ing politically unpopular. and is in

can and Democratic parties are
against.

ing to do so If he received any en-
tons it does not seem probable that he
can obtain such support.
Two or three groups Of leaders
in the National Committee deposed
George White. who was selected by
Mr.. Cox to head the committee and
who was one OF the most efficient
charmen in the history of the organi-
cation. Mr.. Cox's adherence to the
Wilson foreign policy makes IL inn
probable that the leadership OF the
party should be entrusted to him even
II Mr.. Wilson were agreeable. of
which there is considerable doubt.
Eventually some individual or groups
viii take hold Of the Democratic or
sanitation. Perhaps William Randolph
Hearst. Who knows?
Hearst begins to Figure.
The New York editor politician has
already begun to figure actively in the
gossip and calculation OF Democratic
leaders. His recent activities in New
York State politics. which have fully
established his leadership of the Dem
ocratic organization there. are inter
pretcd as a preliminary gesture indi-
eating more pretentious ambition.
Mr. Hearst is assayed good politi-
cal prospect by Democratic leaders
who are looking for a comfortable
meal ticket. He is reputed to be very
wealthy. He is known to be very gen
crous in the promotion of personal
and political ventures No one ever
called Mr.. Hearst a "pil1or." regardless
of what else may have been said about
him.
Already "the boys" who can smell
political money with Tho uncanny in
stinct of a bird dog flushing quail
are beginning to turn their faces visit
fully in the direction OF Mr.. Hearst.
The boys" in New York who interpret
Mr.. Hearsts recent mancuvers In the
State as preliminary TO taking the
rubber band off his bankroll have sen.
word along to the hungry Democrats
at the national capital that the editor
politician is getting ready to annex the
Democratic national organization
This is very good news. indeed. be
cause to the hungry Democrats il
spells prosperity. IT Mr.. Hearst should
attempt TO absorb the Democratic
party he would have very little opposi-
ton. provided, OF course. he is wiling
TO pay the price. William j. Eryan
couldn't stop him, because lac appears
TO be absolutely discredited among
Democratic leaders. Not one OF them
believes ne would undertake to assume
the financial obligations involved.

HARDING AVOIDS USE

House of Representatives is appre-
ciated by the more reasonable and eX-
perienced of its leaders.
There exist causes entirely remote
from the influences of the blocs oper-
ating in the halls OF Congress that
make the outlook for continued Re-
publican dominance Of the lower house
rather dubious. Most of these causes
find their origin in the dissatisfaction
of voters at the progress made by the
party in power to improve economic
conditions consequent upor. the war
and handed down TO Mr.. Haru,ngs
party by the Wilson Administration.
Some OF the fair minded Democratic
leaders concede the impossibility OF
satisfying the popular demands in this
respect. They frankly admit that even
if Mr.. Wilson's party had been con-
tinued in power the chances are that
the conditions existing to-day under
Republican control would have pre-
vailed under Democratic auspices.

printer and you are certain that the
office will be conducted conserva-

PICK LEASE IS
MAKING GREAT
IMPROVEMENT
Indications Are That Fault at
North End Developed Area
Has Been Passed

Conditions are improving rapidly
at both places where ore is exposed
in the Silver Pick lease on the Red
TOP. and indications are that the
fault at the north end Of the devel'
oped area has been solved at last
and that the extension Of the ore
body to the north and downward from
the intermediate level has been found,
A winze in the north drift on the
fourth level is being sunk in a four
foot width of ore, two feet Of which
assays $40 and two feet $50 to $40.
This is the greatest width of good
grade ore found in the block since
the big ore body was mined between
the third and intermediate levels.
The winze has been sunk Is feet IN
material of about this width and
grade, and it is becoming increas'
ingly evident that another valuable
shoot exists below the fourth level
The entire fourfoot width is going
into the ore bin as broken. The plan
Is 10 continue with the winze and
perhaps drift from it, and then cross
cut toward a point under the WINE
on the second level of the Laguna
which is the next level below the
fourth of the Red Top. This cross
cut would have to be driven 15O tc
$50 feet
The north drift on the intermediate
which is between the third and fourth
Is being continued in a two-foot width
Of ore, which, broken as clearly as
possible, is going into the bin as S2t

says $l4 to 5000,
The crosscut into the footwaH ol

at about the dividing line between
the sulphlde and oxidized zones Is

the formation Is considered very
promising. 49,, ood
