BLOW TO KHAN HOPES

The circuit courts decision in hold
ing unconstitutional the Oregon school
act adopted by the voters in 1922 by a
majority of 1886 to 103,685, is ex-
pected to deal a death blow to the
hopes Of the Ku Klux Khan in this
state which is trying to enact SINH
lar law through initiative measure No.
49.
More than 10000 signatures would
be required to get the measure on the
Washington ballot at the November ell
ection. The grand dragon Of Wash
ington Ku Klux Khan declares that the
effort to obtain signatures will not be
abandoned. But it has been doubtful
that 10000 persons would publicly pro-
claim their affiliation with the Klan
by signing the petition and the courts
decision still further weakens the Klan
case Notwithstanding that the action
probably will be appealed to the I'm
tied States supreme court.
The Oregon decision was based on
an action brought against the state Of
ficials by military academy Of Port
land, a private school for boys and by
a Catholic institution having charge Of
parochial schools. The substance of
the courts ruling is worth preserving.
The act could not be more eff
fective for utterly destroying the
business and occupation Of the com
planant schools, except perhaps
colleges and preparatory grades,
if it had been entitled can act to
prevent parochial and private in
stitutions from teaching grammar
4 grades" This serves to emphasize
the seriousness Of the controversy.
Indeed the smile is no stronger
than the argument for the adop-
ton Of the measure which put it:
"a divided school can no more
succeed than a divided nation"
That such is the purpose Of the
Seward daily gateway., 1924-04-18
act is obvious and incontroverti-

bic.
1t cannot be successfully COM
batted that parochial and private
schools have existed almost from
time immemorial-so long at least
that their privilege and right to
teach grammar grades must be
regarded as natural and inherent,
as much so as the privilege and
the right of tutor to teach the
German language with the Gram
mar grades, as was held in Mey-
er VS.. Nebraska, supra.
The absolute right of these
schools to teach in the grammar
grades (paraphrasing somewhat
the language of the court in the
case just cited) and the right of
the parents to engage them to in
struct their children, we think, is
within the liberty Of the four
teenth amendment.
The right of the state to estab
lish as its school policy, compul-
sorry education within its boundar-
les is conceded. Practically all the
states in the Union have adopted
such policy and no one disputes
its utility for reducing illiteracy
and raising the standard of citi-
zenship. But no state has ventur-
ed so far as to eliminate parochial
and private schools from partici-
patinG in the promotion Of the
policy.
1t is particularly fortunate that tn
Oregon decision comes at this time, 0
the eve of what might haev been
campaign that would have had ser
Gus effect upon the spirit Of harmon
and unity in the state-a campaig
wholly unnecessary, inspired not b
any need for disrupting existing il
but by religious animosit,

THE DIRECT PRIMARY

Discussion of the direct primary
law in Alaska and its effects reminds
one Of Mark Twains famous remark
that while people are always kicking
at the weather they do nothing about
it. For several years We have been
kicking about the direct primary law
as it functions here--but no legisla-
.ture has had the courage to tackle
the problem wholesale for fear Of its
political effect,
The law. like the Volstead Act, is
admittedly faulty in operation ana
questionable in its benefcent results
the expense alone running into many
thousands of dollars, for which bet
ter use could be found.
II does not allow a majority 10 rule,
for seldom does a majority vote at
a primary. Yet that is not a fault OF
the law. 1t is there. 1t functions.
Every qualified voter has his oppor-
tunity. If he does not use it the
fault is his own.
1t is contended that the primary
law makes impossible boss domino
ton. which was prevalent in Alaska
in old convention days. But does it
Is it not a fact that the boss doml

REVIVAL OF COMIC
OPERAS is HAILED
More Than $4,000 Returned by
Gilbert & Sullivan Producers
Through Lack of Seats.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, February 13.-New comic
operas are written and staged pretty
regularly, then disappear and are
never heard Of again, but among the
exceptions are those by Gilbert and
Sullivan, whose tuneful melodies
and catchy lyrics are again being re-
yived for a short period, which COM
menced last Monday.
Every revival of these operas
brings its disappointments to hun
dreds of would-be listeners. and the
present is no exception, the demand
FOR seats having been SO great that
more than $4,000 has been returned
to people who sent in checks or money
orders for reservations.
Weeks ago, when first announce
ment Of the revival was made. peo-
Pile began forming lines at the box
office as early as 8 o'clock in the
morning, and although the run Of
performances has been extended to
the end Of May, there is small
chance of the casual looker-in get

stand at the door for the few which
are kept unlocked.

said she had applied unsuccessfully

To the end that there may be a

tion tomorrow will inaugurate the

Early for Christmas season.
Failure to do Christmas shopping
until the last few days before
Christmas results in crowded and
congested stores and streets, and in
the overtaxing Of transportation and
traffic facilities. Early shopping af-
fords patrons the opportunity of prop
erly preparing their parcels for mail
ing, and early mailing affords a clear
flow Of the mails through the regular
channels.
BY shopping and mailing early for
Christmas the peak load is extended
over IA longer period, instead of being
confined to the few days before
Christmas. resulting in a decided ad-
vantage to the shopper and mailer,
merchants and postal service
The public is also urged to mail
Christmas cards at the same time

general practice to withhold the mail

BERLIN, November S.-American
of modest means can travel inexpen-
sively in Germany if they are willing
to patronize the smaller hotels and
use third and fourth class railway
Accommodations, it has been shown by
the experience of two members of the
faculty of Chicago University who
recently completed a nine day swing
through Germany at a total cost daily
of about s4.25 each
The two Chicogoans-one an assis-
tant professor of history and the
other an instructor Of history
started from Berlin and returned to
the capital after having visited Leip-
zig, Nuremberg, Bamberg, Nuremberg,
Rothenberg, Treuchlingen, Augsberg,
Munich, Clm, Crailsheim. the Thurin-
gen forest, Erfurt and Magdeburg.
here Is a tabulation of the ex-
penses, in marks: Railway fares,

smoking, ass; admission fees to
museums, 3.S5: car fares, .65; incl
dentals, 400. Total, 165.2O. or about
1886.
The assistant professor, in describ-
ing the trip, said he and his com
panion had encountered more inter-
csting people in third apd fourth
class cars of the trains than they
usually had in expensive sections and
that they had had the opportunity TO
hear the opinions of the rank and file
of the Germans. In the fourth ella SIS
compartments they had even met
members of the nobility. Despite the
low costs, the educator said they had
always had clean and comfortable
rooms and good food.
