FAIR DEAL TO ALL

In utilization of the Roosevelt School, should be
ecessary to work hardship upon the patrons of the
William Moore school All the west end patrons de-
handing is that the seventh and eighth grade facilities
given them accorded the Richhol school 1t should
not necessary circulate petitions the patrons
md start neghbOrhOOd contest the affair ReSpOS
ty solely with the Board of Education to give each
ocy square deal In giving the Roosevelt school patrons
seventh and eighth grade it should not be necessary to
deprive the William Moore school of those grades.
If the patrons of the William Moore school desire con-
nuation of the seventh and eighth grades, what is more
simple than to discontinue the Junior High which is more
less of educational fad and take two of the four teach
es and install them in seventh and eighth grades in the
Roosevelt school.
BY simple process of redsricting seventh and eighth
grade pupils between the three schools hardship will be
worked There necessity for petitions and
stirring of neghbohood rivalry and feeling to solve this
problem.
With school facilities as limited as they Bismarck,
distances great the maintenance OF Junior High If 1t is
prove stumbling block to the utilization of the Roosevelt
School would be folly blind sacrifice to an educational idea
which however meritorOus cannot outweigh the necessity
of giving the west end of Bismarck the same facilities the
Richholt school now enjoys.
Deprving the William Moore of seventh and eighth
grade facilities naturally will opposition that neigh

THE SMASHING OF PINCHOT

The Republican voters of Penn
sylvania stepped on Governor
PinchOt in the recent primaries
and smashed him rather fiat.
Mr.. Pinchot says the issue was
prohibition enforcement. Hardly
anyone else takes that view of it.
The Republican voters were so
fatigued with the Governor that by
two-to-one vote they refused to
give him the traditional election as
delegate to the National Conven-
ton, and the chief reason appar-
emily was his guerilla war on
Uncle Andrew Mellon and the Coo
lidge Administration.
The Governor has made num-
Der of more or less open attacks
ON, Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.. Mellon.
He began with the coal contro-
versy, wherein he had much the
worst of it. Then he attacked
Secretary Mellon with letters on
enforcement of the Volstead Act.
Like Senator Couzens later on, he
fonnd that the Secretary as an
epistolary adversary is cool,
trenchment. long on facts and short
on vulnerable points.
Governor Pinchot's latest show
of anti-Administration spleen was
his project to get Senator Couzens
to hire Francis ]. Heney at his own
expense as a special prosecutor of
the Senate committee to investi-
gate Mellon. This ultimately led
MI. Coolidge to administer sharp
rebuke to the Senate for tolerating
plan both illegal and subversive
Of department morale.
Despite these repeated evidences
Of unfriendliness, to use no strong
ed term, to Mr. Coolidge and to
Pennsylvania's great son, Secre-
tary Mellon, Governor Pinchot
wanted to be elected a Coolidge
delegate at-lawge to the Cleveland
Convention. Naturally, he was
turned down with great emphasis
by the Republican voters. The
mystery is that he should ever
have CHANGED the issue.-Minneap.
