Appeal for Near East Orphans

Arrangements are being made for a
campaign in Fort Lee in the interests
of the Near East Relief, the American
organization which is caring for
$4,000 orphan children in Greece,
Syria, Palestine and the Caucasus.
The work originally started in Ar
menia during the World War when so
many thousands of Armenians were
massacred and their children left des-
titute, but owing to the unsettled con-
ditions in Turkey the orphans have
all been removed to places of safety
where they are being educated.
To say that these children are be-
ing educated" however, does not
mean that they are afforded the COM
forts of America. They wear shoes
only in the winter and their food is
the most meager. A field secretary

ONE IN A HUNDRED

The United States Bureau of Edu
cation calls attention to the prospects
of 100 given boys. According to th,
Bureau, here is where they land, edu
cationally:
100 boys in the fifth grade,
dwindle to-
SO in the sixth. They shrink
to-
II in the seventh This leaves
but
63 to complete the grammar
school or eighth grade.
Economic conditions are such
that only
"a start the first year in high
school
"a finish the year as sopho-
mores-
18 qualify, then, as Juniors
13 secure the coveted high
school diploma
of these enter the first year
of college
return and finish the second
years work
8 are able to qualify for the
third year, and but
l out of the original hundred
is graduated from college.
There is no way to make college
graduates of the entire hundred
Some of them couldn't graduate ii
they stayed in college until they were
rs years of age.
But a very much larger percent
age of boys should graduate than do

EXIT MR.. BROOkHART

When. Gen. Dawes announced few
weeks ago that he would spill
enough beans to break the bean mar
ket" he probably had no idea that
Senator Brookhart would be along be-
hind him with basket. Mr. Brook
hart thinks that Gen. Dawes has
wrecked the Republican campaign; "
that he has proved himself "discourte-
GUS" "ungentlemanly," IAN insult to
the farmer" "an insult to the labor
ing man." and "a bluff" in interna-
tional finance. Mr. Brookhart calls
on Chairman Butler as he might call
on Jove to remove this "pee-wit pluto
gog" from the Republican ticket.
Now Mr.. Brookhart, of course, has
no idea that Chairman Butler pos
sesses either the authority or the de-
sire to ask Gen. Dawes to step aside.
He is simply bolting the Republican
ticket in what he thinks is the most
effective manner possible. He is a
Bolshevik, of course, and probably
paid for this by Moscow. But at the
height of the campaign and in one
of the most critical States in the cleo
tion he is ready to bolt because he
knows that he has nothing to fear
from a party whose surface unity will
crack the day the votes are in, If it
doesn't go to pieces in October.

THE coRRUPTioNIsTs

The corruptionists in our Govern
ment offices under the present Admin
istration are not the first to fall un-
der public condemnation. Politics at
best is a bad institution in spots ana
has always been SO. No party mas
been altogether clean-skirted in TINS
narticular. But it is fact that only
twice in the country's history have
the corruptionsts invaded the Execu-
tive Department, during the Grant
administration and under the Harding
Coolidge regime. In both instances
the boldness of the depredatlons be-
came rampant. The present instance
finds the party in power making
bold attempt to shift the RESPONSE
bility of the corruptionists to the
danger of radicalsm-that is, the at
tempt is being made to shift the
American mind from the corruption
lists to the threatening position of the
La toilette menace of radicalism. But
the truth is they are finding 1t very
difficult to switch the big corruption
ist thought from the public mind.
They know the truth is that at no
time has radicalism in this country
been a real menace or anything near
it. And even If La Toilette were TO
be elected, and his chances are very,
very slim, he could do nothing what
ever to upset the country's all round
stability. He would not have the
power to make any radical change in
the government, for he would be tight
ing both houses of Congress and the
judiciary, besides facing the many
checks of the Constitution.
Another point the people are revolv-
ing in their minds is the SOLDERING IN
ffuence q bit of power would have on
any radical element that might get
into power. And here again would
come into play the various checks to
prevent ultra legislation. 1t simply
could not happen. So instead of try
ing to divert the public mind from
the corruptionists through the fear OF
La Toilette, it were better to try
some other tack. The truth is, the
country is deeply aroused over the
Daugherty and Forbes menace and is
determined to root out their practices
if it be humanity possible. La Toilette
is merely a menace to the practices
of both the old parties no matter what
is said and done. The evils we have
now are here present. They are not
mythical, for the rascals are caught
red handed, and Mr.. Davis raped the
willy Daugherty SO hard the other
day over the Means case that he has
shut up like a clam since.
What is needed at Washington is
a real leader in the White House
someone who will block the corrup-
tionists and put into effect construc-
tive legislation such as Woodrow Will
son enacted-legislation that had
both teeth, power and permanency be-
hind it, most of which stands today
except the model tariff for which the
present iniquitous substitute was put
in. There is no substitute for leader
ship and it is more needed today than
ever before. What Mr.. Davis would
bring to the White House in this par
ticular is generally admitted Mr..
Coolidge is party man, pure and
simple, and like the ancient ex-speak-
er of the House, Joseph G. Cannon.

are Frightening up bit; there are
school books to buy and numerous
little alterations such as are neces-
sary at every change of season.
Nature soon will don new garments
For slightly different reasons humans
will do the same. Heavier clothes
and more of them will be forthcoming
with the first chilly day or two and
after that appearances will be
changed, to return to light and fiimsy
garments only with the coming of
summer again next year.
1t is a good change. New clothes
make people feel better and have
more self-respect. And then of course
there is no better fun than buying
them.

OF the Near East Relief who returned
home last week says that the meat ra-
tions of the orphans has been cut
down from three times a week to
once a week owing to the shortage
Of funds.
That is the reason the campaign is
to be held in Fort Lee, and Mayor
Edward White, honorary chairman,
and j. F. Seller, chairman of the
committee, have asked the co-opera-
ton of every citizen. Fbrty-eight
thousand of those children are under
IA years of age, motherless and IA
therless. Should the people of Fort
Lee fail in providing funds to con-
tinue the work, the result will be
death for some of these orphaned
children.
