THE EDUCATIONAL BILL

7, The United States Bureau Of Edu-
cation, which is cooperating with The
National Educational Association, The
General Federation of Women's Clubs
and others, have at last aroused the
members Of Congress to the alarming
problem confronting this country, with
nearly 100000 men and women I'M
able to read and write. The econon-
ical liability of this, army Of illiterate
foreigners has become alarming, and
the solution of the problem is demand
ing the best and wisest thought of the
people of the nation. The direct
bearing that this condition presents
from an economical stand, if for no
others, is sufficient to call halt to the
army Of foreigners: being dumped on
our shores to become a liability, and
burden to our citizens, and must main
tain them when once they have been
admitted. 2 -.
The readers Of the Call Of the
North, and other Klan publications
will recall, that the older-Sterling
Bill remained without being reported
out of the committee for more than
two years, due to the influence of the
Roman Catholic church, but it is graft
flying that at last this bill, which pro-
vides for an appropriation of $780,
100000 for educational purposes, to be
distributed under d Secretary Of edu-
cation, as member Of the Presidents
cabinet has been favorably reported
and, introduced in both the House and
Senate.

A Chinaman was visiting Yellow

had walked for some miles along a

Looking back over his shoulder he
saw bear shifting at his tracks and
rapidly gaining on him.
With shrill yell, he began to run.

clans appointed by the Teapot Dome

cabinet in the last Democratic adj
ministration, had been employed, after

After Denby's Scalp

&AAs>A DSAADJ . SSoAP
The Democrats in the Senate have
now started after the scalp Of Sec
rotary of the Navy DENLY. We don't
want to PREJUDICE this phase of the
case but Washington gossip has it
that this, too, is political play for
advantage. Mr.. DENLY may be
guilty; he says he is not and claims
the law enacted by Congress gave
him the authority to do what he did
do. In this opinion he evidently was
sustained by the late President Hard
ing and likewise by Secretary Fall.
The country now believes an awful
mistake was made; but the question
is, if this mistake was made, was it
not made according to the authority
granted by an act of Congress The
country will learn later on whether
Secretary DENLY is right or wrong.
If he is wrong he probably will get
out without being kicked out; but
suppose the court sustains him in
his contention? Then what? Where
will the Senate Democrats find them
selves if such proves to be the case?
Here's the answer. Before any de-
cision either way can be reached in
the courts the campaign of 1924 will
probably be over, hence if this is to
be made a campaign issue, if this is
more politics, now is the time to in
ject it. Hence, the resolution has
been introduced in the Senate and is
now under debate asking the Presi-
dent to request Secretary DENLY to
resign. 1t may carry, there is no
telling, but what if it does and the
President pays no attention to it?
About all the Senate can do is to ask
for the resignation of Mr.. DENLY.
The latter has been a navy man all
his life; he ought to know what he
is doing; perhaps he doesn't, but any
way this looks more politics for you
know political campaign is ap-
preaching and there must be issues
and munitions.
Another Resolution Pending
It's a poor week when someone
doesn't threaten to demand the res
ignation of Attorney General Daugh-
erty; he is always in the imelight in
this respect but somehow he man.
ages to hang on. He is the sort of a
fellow who doesn't run under fire and
he has proven in the past to be some
scrapper and usually a winner. He
may lose this time, we don't under
take to say; but he won't quit just
because some senator has introduced
resolution asking the President to
request him to quit his post. Such a
resolution has been introduced and is
scheduled to come up later but that
debate can't come on until Mr.. Den
by's resolution is disposed of.
1t may be that some senator will
yet file resolution asking President
Coolidge to step down and out and
give Secretary of State Hughes a
chance to make good in the White
House as he would be next in line for
such an emergency. But Mr.. Cool
idge is more likely to go before the
people of this country next Novem-
Der and give the people, the entire
people, an opportunity to say whether
they want him to continue in the
Presidential chair or get out. And
that will be some more politics.
In fact 1924 is a political year and
things have started in early in Wash
ington. 1t looks like it's going to be
a humdinger, so far as politics go
from now until next November.
