' Topeka. han, Oct. 25.-There is no

requiring a person to salute the flag.
This was brought out by attorney
generals office to which had been re-
ferred the question of the refusal of
certain .,arents in Mcpherson county
to permit their children to salute the
flag at school.
Mcpherson county authorities de.
clare that the parents in question, who
are of Mennonite faith. protest against
the flag observance because of religious
scruples. ~
"While t is not possible to prose-
cute the parents under any specific
law requiring school children to salute
the flag, it is possible to charge them
with contributing to the delinquency
of such children" said John F.
Rhodes, assistant attorney general.

COOPERATION BETWEEN MA
TloNAL AND STATE Ex-
EcUTIvES.

\ conference of governors at Wash
ington was a custom inaugurated by
the late President Roosevelt, and
continued at irregular intervals by
his Successors. It is an eminent,
sound policy and the state execu.
tives are impressed not only with their
own individual responsibility to their
states but with their duty TO con-
tribute to a stronger nationalism This
is particularly true in the present
conference called by President Cool
idge, which had for its principal sub
ject of discussion the better enforce
ment of prohibition. 1t is incumbent
upon the states TO aid in carrying out
the provisions of every Federal stat
ute directed to the maintenance OF
peace, and in the case of the prohi-
bition amendment they have a special
duty. That amendment directs that
Inc Congress ana the several states
shall have concurrent power to en-
force this article by appropriate legis-
lation." 1t was the intent to apply
the whole power of the country, both
national and state. to the destruction
Of the liquor traffic, and the duty and
of each state is no different,
except in degrees. from the duty and
of the United States. The
President and the governors must
work concurrently, through their re-
ipective law enforcement agencies.
rhe recent conference ought to
prove a highly effective means for
ringing that sort of cooperation.

THE FATAL CROSSING.
Anaconda Standard.

The fact that at least so per cent
of automobile drivers do not look both
ways upon approaching a railroad
crossing has been demonstrated in a
number of tests recently conducted
along the Santa Fe railroad. accord
ing to Mr.. Hale, chairman of the
American Railway association, who
further says that instances of auto
mobiles being driven smack into a
passing train are almost as common
as those in which the automobile is
struck by the locomotive. On the
face of it, such an accident is an
absurdity-sO great an absurdity ap-
parentiy. as to take it out of the
range OF possibiiities-Dut the rail-
road men have the evidence. In spite
of all the traffic laws. and all the
traffic cops, and all the newspaper
talk, and all the public discussions
of the subject and all the safety first
propaganda of every sort, railroad
crossing accidents in the United States
are increasing at the rate of 100 per
cent a year 1.-THE railroads are
eagerly trying every imaginable means
of averting these appalling disasters"
says Mr.. Hale. but the persistent dis
regard of the automobile driving pub
lie for its own safety has caused some |
Of us almost to despair. The remedy |
seems so simple, yet it meets such /
open violation. Epitomized. it is just /

KU KLUx CHIEF MALIGNS THE
MEMORY OF ROOSEVELT.

According to press reports, the i'm

in the course of an address in Texas
the other day, said that if Theodore
Roosevelt were living today he would
be member of the khan We can
conceive of no greater Islander than
that upon the life and character of
the man whose memory is cherished
by all who honor real Americanism.
AS we remember Theodore Roosevelt,
every fiber of his makeup was opposed
to a mask He gloried in his Ameri-
canism, proclaimed it from the hill
tops, practiced it in his daily life
without hideous regalia, and his last
words were an appeal to his country
men to stand for exact justice, equal

under the law, for he said 1t is an
outrage to discriminate against any
man because of creed or birthplace
or origin" Colonel Roosevelt was re-

THE PERPETUAL cLAMoR.
Portland Oregonian.


You will, when you have read the
paragraphs that follow, be confident
that they are quoted utterances Of
yesterday, so aptly do they arraign
certain clamorous conditions now pre-
Yailing They treat of that idle and
prohtless discomfort which we know
as radicalism, and which forever en-
deavors to destroy the firmly estab-
lished state. where prosperity and
happiness abound. The voice that
uttered them sounded in the United
States senate, and these were the
words:
There are persons who constantly
clamor. They complain of oppression,
speculation and pernicious influence of
accumulated wealth They cry out
loudly against banks and corporations
and all means by which small cap
italists become united in order to pro-
duce important and beneficial results.
"They carry on mad hostility against
all established institutions. They
would choke the foundation of in
dustry and dry all streams. In
country of unbounded liberty. they
clamor against oppression. In a coun-
try of perfect equality. they would
move heaven and earth against privi-
lege and monopoly. In a country where
property is more evenly divided than
anywhere else, they rend the air
shouting about agrarian doctrines. In
a country where wages of labor are
high beyond parallel they would teach |
the laborer that he is but an oppres-
sed slave"
Not yesterday, but ninety years ago /
and the voice was the voice of Dan /
iel Webster, speaking as a senator in !
the year 1888 Then, as now the ele- (
ments of dissension and envy the /
night creepers, the agitators were
busted with hate Almost a century
ago. America is an enduring entity.
and the gloomy prophecies of these
men were false Perdition was not just
around the turning Instead. a rela-
lively weak and experimental nation.
rs ours was then, has attained to an
unparalleled economic and spiritual
strength. Doubtless the caws of dis
lster will still be cawing century
renee.

What a spectacle the world pre-

In contrast to these calamitOus con

A few months ago the Caribou

vicinity, was given much publicity as
a prospective producer of platinum,
and a little later announcement was
made that a mill was being placed
on the Caribou for the recovery Of
this precious metal 1t now appears
that a large body of lead-silver ore
has been found on the property and
that a new and larger mill is being
installed for its treatment, but wheth-
er platinum is also associated with

FACT FINDING REGARDING GOLD
AND SILVER.

The hearings that are being held
by representative Of the senate gold
and silver commission in the various
mining states Of the west are bring
ing out much interesting information
regarding the mining industry but
Just how much bearing it has in de-
termining the causes OF the decrease
in gold and silver production which
seems to be the chief purpose of the
hearings, is not clear to the ordinary
observer. As we understand it, the
commission desires to find out wheth-
er or not there are conditions which
operate to discourage gold and silver
production. and if SO arc lhey Of
nature that can be remedi9J by legis-
iutive action. In this district prac-
tically an the silver produced is a by
product OF lead and zinc. In the Butte
district is it chiefly byproduct of
copper. The facts brought out az tile
hearing in this city last Monday COW
cred such wide range that 1t is
quite difficult to see how by a process
Of elimination they can be reduced
down to a point that will show their I
relation to the production OF silver.
Lead is the basic product of this dist
net, but the silver associated with it
is an important factor in determining
the profits Of mining. In fact, without
the silver most of the mines would
lind their profits greatly reduced and
in some cases probably wiped out al
together This district - therefore
very much interested in the success
OF any movement looking to the re-
noval of the handicap to silver min
ing and to advancing the price to a
figure that will encourage silver pro-
iuction. but it is not clear how the
acts developed here viii contribute
