IMPOSING MONUMENT ON REvo-

Lafayette Present.

The Bunker IIill monument, Of all
the ponumehts in America, commands
our greatest reverence 1t. stands upon
what Is properly called Breeds hill,
in the Charleston. section of Boston.
It's sides are absolutely parallel with
those of the redoubt that had been
erected there on the night before the
battle, and behind which the patriots
took refuge from the British advance.
Almost 80 years had elapsed from
the time of the battle before move
men was made to erect a commemo-
rative monument on Breeds hill. An
association for the purpose was
formed in 1924, and to give eclat to
the transaction, and to excite enthusi-
asm in favor of the work, General La
fayette was invited to lay the corner
stone being at the time the nations
guest.
Accordingly, on the 18th of June,
1925, the flftieth anniversary of the
battle, that revered patriot performed
the interesting ceremony, and Hon.
Daniel Webster pronounced the ora
tion on the occasion in the midst Of a
vast concourse of people. Forty sur

written by DR.. Carmack in which
he says that the candidates for

tell how they stand with regard to
enforcing the law against the rum
running and wild cat. business.
For myself feel that DR.. Car

ton. If the good men and women
who love law and order will elect
me Sheriff of Tishomingo County /

SCHOOLS AMI MORALS

Judge Hutchinson, vice president of the Des Moines, Iowa,
board of education complains or charges that "The schools are
weak in teaching morals" That was the feature of his recent
address, a feature that has received much attention over the
country. AS a member of the local school board of his city it
is to be assumed that the judges reference is to grade and high
schools.
But in what way are the schools "weak in teaching morals ?"
The teaching IN the common schools is and always has been strong
in the way of good general morality. Clean living, honesty, obed-
in the common schools. The current of moral teaching in the
public school has always been strong. 1t is strong tSday.
The teaching Of morals in American common schools is not
a mere matter of philosophy but of righteousness. A professor
of theology in a German university may be a private rake and
retain his position. He teaches his branch as a philosophical
proposition. A teacher in the common schools of this country
can not retain his or her position if his character lacks a moral
foundation. The most immoral man in the community would
join others in demanding his removed. Our schoolmen and school
women are of excellent private morals and of good repute out as
in school, We demand the moral example" in our teachers what
ever our private morality may be.
Our schools teach the square deal in a hundred different
ways. Yet the unjustified and even mendacious statement is
common that "the immortality in the schools is shocking"
1t isn't the schools that are weakening the morality of the
rising generation. 1t is the decay of moral fibre in the homes.
describes the teaching of morals in the homes? Where is the
parental restraint that good morals are based upon?
This tendency to turn the education and the morals and the
general teaching of manhood and womanhood over to the public
schools, the Y. M. c. A, the Y. w. c. A. and the Sunday school
is the center of such moral infection and weakness as causes
complaint Of the judge. The schools are working against that
current of carelessness and unrestraint in the home.
When parents display examples equal to those offered to
their children by their teachers, when the discipline in the home
is as good and effective as in the schools the weakness of moral
teaching" will have changed to strength.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-09-12
WHEN SANE AND CIVILIZED

Our government has finally recognized the Obregon govern
ment in Mexico as a civilized government, stable enough to be
entitled to represent the Mexican people, but it took years for
the Oregon faction to prove that they were really exercising
their power by consent of the Mexican people and not merely by
temporary force of arms.
When the time comes to recognize a government in Russia
it will have to comply with certain requirements of civilized
government. Assassination will have to give way to some legal
lied form OF ballot in determining the will of the majority. Private
property and personal safety will have to receive some form of
protection. Lootfng of churches and murder or preIates as a
method of raising revenus will have to be replaced by some form
of taxation. Conspiracy and hostile effort to destroy the govern
ments OF other lands will have to cease. In other words when
the people of Russia can get rid of their murderous d~ictators and
institute a government manned by men whose hands are not red
with human blood there will be some chance of recognition by
other civilized nations.
1t is fortunate that the sober sense of the voters in a major
iy of the states have kept men like Secretary Hughes and Presi-
dents Harding and Coolidge in office instead of uniformed, fire
brand Brookharts and JohnsOns of the radical type. The Amer
lean Legion also feels that way.
