From Evans Address
on Public Education

mo one will deny that it was
always the intention to have ade-
quate education I'm America. Pri-
yate and public declarations Of
that high purpose are abundant;
but the trouble was, and Is, that
the cause Of public education was
never given the sanction and
standing, yea, and the security,
that could be obtained only
through basic legal recognition of
Its paramount Importance"
1.-THE truth Is that half our ma
tiOnal life was lived without a
general public school system, and
that, during the last half, public
schools have been pitifully made
quate, to which failures can be
traced most Of the national Ills
that now beset u.s."
I'VE are supporting q program
that will do tive things: O Es.
tablish Department Of Educa-
tien, with a Cabinet Secretary ut
its head; and (2) Give National
aid to eur public schools"
AT the present rate of dimin.
ishment, 1t would take eighty -four
years to eliminate illiteracy I'm

eracy figures, instead Of the more
depressing army tests. III we ac-

Of our national life.
"In the face of such facts, l
maintain that ne citizen can Op.
pose Democratic Education in
America unless he be an un.Amer.
lean enemy Of our institutions"
Here Is the issue. Public school
education Is democratic education.
The fight against that system Is
being waged by and for Catholic
parOchialism, which Is the es.
Sence of monarchy"
"But that Is not all. In this cru.
cial struggle for the Horace Mann
kind and quantity of public school
education, we are fighting q battle
bigger even than for the final sep
aratiOn of church and state. Dem.
Ocracy itself, the very like of Con.
stitutiOnal government, Is at
stake"
"After all, education Is but the
means to an end. In q higher
sense, democracy Is but the means
to an end. In the highest sense,
civilization itself Is but the means
to an end. That end Is the tri.
umph of truth, Gods truth and
mans truth, out of which alone
can come the Heavenly blessing Of
harmOnized humanity here on
EARTH"

WAY!

: ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC

Theatergoess do not have to wait for the Thanksgiving holiday if they have not already seen the unusually divert ing bill of five acts of big-time Keith vaudeville being offered at the Lyric. The headliner on this program is one of the most unusual ever offered here. Tameo Kajiyama, American-bred Jap, offers in "Quadruple Mind Concentra- tion" absolute proof that the human mind can do several things at one time. Comedy and that of the blackface type at it's best, is to be offered in the added attractions. Carl Nixon and Gussie Sans put on this number under the title of Assorted Chocolates" In stead of being the usual blackface num- Der of minstrel batter and song, "As- sorted Chocolates" is comedy skit.
 The special feature is another novelty in the way of an unusual animal act. Herbert's Loop the Loop and Leaping Canines is the title of this number, in which the performers are dogs, cats, pigeons and roosters.
 Rounding out the bill are Cunning ham and Bennett with Dorothy Argo in Country Cousins," comedy skit and Moonbeam, known as the international pianist.

 Hit Here

Blossom Time," which opened to a capacity house Monday at the Jeffer- son theater, will, if possible, crowd more people into the theater tonight than there were last night, or the night before. Not in some time have lief ferson theatergoers turned out en masse to see any entertainment, but the fame of this incomparable musical comedy is nationwide and it is thought that the receipts for the performances of Blossom Time" here will shatter the box office record, as it has everywhere else it played.
 There will be a special matinee per formance Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, at 2:3O and those who plan to go had best purchase their tickets some time today to avoid crowding at the last minute, and the probable disappoint' ment of not getting any at all if they wait too long. Blossom Time" is something that anyone who enjoys Q musical play with real music should not miss for it has cast of really un' usual singers and indeed it has right ly been called "the hit of the ages"

SENATOR HARRIS URGES REVISION
 OF SHOALS BILL,
Will Offer Amendment Providing For Future
 Lease Of Plants
Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-An amendment to the bill prepared by Sen ator Oscar w. Underwood for the dis position of Muscle Shoals will be of fered by Senator William J. Harris of Georgia, it is learned today, under which the government, after it's own ex- pertinent in operation, may, if confront ed by an acceptable private offer, accept such an offer. ~
 Senator Harris has suggested that Senator Underwood incorporate the amendment in the bill before it's intro duction. It is understood that Senator Underwood is reserving judgment. If he does not respond, it is regarded as certain that Senator Harris will offer the amendment from the floor.
 Senator Underwoods attitude at pres ent is that he will not introduce his bill at all if an offer approximating that of Henry Ford be received before Decem- Der 1. If he does introduce his bill, it will provide that the government may make private contract on terms set out in the bill in the six months period fol- lowing the passage of the bill. Senator Harris takes the view that even if the government having made no private con. sract within six months after the passage of the bill, undertakes operation itself, it should not be denied the right through out all subsequent years of making a contract with private parties.
 Senator Harris in a statement today declared that after the government had operated the plants for some time it would be in excellent position to set out terms under which the property might be leased. It is pointed out, on the other hand, that nothing would prevent congress in future years taking the ac. tion for which Senator Harris would provide in the present.

 "Only he better not walk here," said a deadliner.
 He had necked, taken into an alley, and blackjacked three crooks he knew that day. Then he kicked them across the line. Not legal, perhaps, but in strict accord with public policy.
 New York conducts war on the high seas, too. Bootleggers in a fast launch deliberately rammed a police boat. The police boarded from the sinking craft and got their men.

Almost in the shadow of the Metro politan tower.
 Between times known gunmen nod to policemen they know, just as Mace donia's comitadji are harmless peasants between raids. Sometimes Enright's s men act as peacemakers between war ring gangs. Sometimes little fuma- role erupts from the volcanic bottom of the city. Some one tells the police men to "get them" There is a brisk little skirmish. Next mornings papers relate that Policeman Kelly Kills Gun man." No arrests.

JURY COMPLETED IN GRAFT TRIAL
 0E C D EnQDEQ UT U. N. IUlCDGU
Ex-Head Of Veterans Bu- reau Charged With De-
 frauding Government
(By Associated PreSs.)

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-A jury was completed late today for the trial of Charles R. Forbes, former head of the veterans bureau and J. W. Thompson, St. Louis and Chicago, contractor on charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States government in the allo- cation of war veterans hospital con tracts. sF,
 Defense counsel combed the prospec- tive jury for prejudices growing out of relationship to war veterans.
 Several had relatives in the war, and two lost sons killed in action, but Fl. wood Goldman, of defense counsel, who examined the twelve accepted by the government, seemed satisfied with all those questioned. The defense was al lowed ten challenges and the govern ment six.
 Mrs. Heber Votaw, of Washington sister of the late President Harding was disclosed as one of the chief gov ernment witnesses when defense coun- sel obtained a ruling permitting them to examine the list of three score pros ecution witnesses. Mrs. Votaw, dur ing Forbes administration was con nected with the veterans bureau in vo- cational rehabilitation work.
 Decision to try the defendants on the charge of defrauding, instead of a sec ond count in the indictment charging conspiracy to bribe federal officer in the awarding of government hospital contracts, came after long argument on prosecution motion to consolidate the charges.
