II you wish true democracy, fair
treatment for all, educational free
dom, economy and other highly
desirable conditions on the school
board.
Now's the time to teach your
children to MUNICH Peterson's Peer
less Peanuts. They will become a
part Of the local educational system
If Mr.. Peterson is elected to the
school board.
You will see "Silken socks for
all the sissies" If Gen. Paine is
elected to the school board. You
also will see outside architects hired
to design school buildings, for the
habit Of outside~architects runs in
the Paine family.
Pedestrians take their lives in
their hands when they try to run
the gauntlet Of the automobiles by
crossing : street. The law grants
the pedestrian the right of way
on the streets, but local methods
of regulation seem to have over
looked the existance OF pedestrians.
Perhaps the authorities believe that
q man too poor to own and dSive
a car has no right to be alive.
General Rodney Paine, the war
hero who Is running for the school
board, promises to keep politics out
of that body If he is elected direc-
tor. To keep that promise, Gen.
Paine will have to get ]. H. Bentley
out Of the SUPPLEMENTARY. for he
ID the chief offender when 1t comes
to injecting politics into the board
of education. II there ever was a
bold, constituencies and eonsummate
politician, that man is J. q. Bent
ley.
Young Mr.. Donaldson, candidate
for the school board, declares that
he favors the employment OF local
architects, contractors workman and
material firms. A ticket with three
candidates stands for all that and
has fought for 1t. Mr.. Donaldson's
candidacy IL hopeless. yet 1t may
help defeat those who stand for
the things he favors. That ticket
stands splendid SHOW of winning
on July FL. II Mr.. Donaldson's
rocking Of the boat does not result
in the election Of candidates who
are Numerically opposed to what
he favors.
An automobile on Superior street
knocked down q man az q result
of q speed Of 80 miles an hour.
The traffic COP refused citizens
demand that the careless driver be
sent to the station on the grounds
that the pedestrian was not killed.
When 1t comes to eliminating
undesirable citizens. the Rip-saw Is
strong medicine. The Great Family
Journal came out Friday forenoon
with q story about noisy and
obscene sports on Park Point. The
den broke up at II O'Clock that
night and the foul underworld birds
got out OF the historic suburb.
The Rip-saw does not desire to
belittls Messrs. Gearhart and NC
knight In any way, but both OF
them are lawyers and candidates
for the school board. Their election
on Saturday, July II, will give the
board five lawyers, q legal major
ity. School government BY long
distance telephone from New York
and, occasionally, Rome. Italy, Is
bad enough, but being bossed BY a
majority Of barristers would be
even worse.
The school board now has three
lawyers on the directorate. Should
Mcknight and Gearhart be elected,
the board then will have five
lawyers, Q majority. Too many
lawyers ON the school board would
30 too much Of good thing. II
you do not wish the school board
to be bossed by Bentley, Barnes
and five barristers, vote for the
ticket on which Clough, Cools and
Mrs. Wilson are. running. There Is
not q lawyer ON that ticket.
silent Doc. ,Eklund il credited
with putting Leonard Peterson on
the ticket Of the autocratic big
Six" of the school board, prin-
cipally for the purpose OF trapping
votes of the West End people. Mr..
Peterson seems to have outgrown
the splendid people Of the West
End. for his home Is up for sale
and he has plans all ready for
$4,000 residence in the aristocratic
East End, where he can breathe
the same high grade hot air as
Mesdames Davis, McGiffert ana
other disciples Of autocracy.

district from extravaganza ana
bankruptcy, elect directors who VIII
not be dominated by and subordin-
ated to Supt. Bentley. Remember
