TWO KINDS OF DIFFERENCES

In discussing the present situa-
tiOn of the Democratic party, Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, one of the illus
trious leaders of the party attri-
butes the public belief in the disor-
ganization of the Democracy to Re-
publican propaganda, including a
vast majority of the big newspapers
of the country which he says are
painting "lurid pictures of Demo-
cratic discord."
"As a matter of fact" Mr.. Roose-
welt states, "most of this so-called
discord relates to local or personal
matters as distinguished from ma
tional principles. The Republican
party has within it's rank and file far
more true discord, in that they differ
among themselves on matters of ba-
sic principles"
It may be that the Democratic
discord is not so great as reported
and it is doubtless true that Demo-
cracy will get together in time to
put up a good fight in 1926 and 1928.
This is as it should be, for two ac-
tive, we'll organized parties are nee
essary to the welfare and progress
of the country.
But it is not generally true that
differences Of opinion on principles
are more disastrous than personal
differences. AS a matter of fact
there is always more or less party
difference in the application of basic
principles, in both major organiza-
tions, and unless there is a grave
national crisis and a situation which
acutely affects the fortunes of the
voters in general, these differences |
rarely are serious. More often per-
sonal feuds and personal factional-
ism are fatal to party success. This
has been the case both with Repub-
licans and Democrats in the past and
doubtless will be in the future.

OF ALL the graces charity is the
rarest. 1t is to be exercised no
only among the worlds poor but
among that vast body that happens
to differ with you in matters of opin-

THE FUTURE of America rests
with her cities. They are our ma
tiOnal nerve-centres, and, for that
reason, our storm-centres. There is a
gnawing cancer in the heart of our
civic life when public documents
must be put in foreign language. No
man or woman can love a country
whose language they do not know.

YOU OFTEN pass women in the
street wearing that forced and sick
ly smile of happy freedom. But way
down deep in their hearts there
turks the vain regret over the once
deliberately chosen fate that would
inevitably deny to her the gift of
companionship and motherhood. This
age parades a false freedom that
promises immunity from drudgery-
that artistic life that would escape
the sweet and holy duties of home.
But after the escape is made one
awakes too late to find that the
shadows have heightened. And now
they are to sit repining solitary
and alone.

OREGON SCHOOL LAW
is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Hands Down
DeeisiOn-Awaited With
Great Interest.

The United States Supreme
Court held the famous Oregon
school law under which all chill
dren in the State between the
ages of eight and sixteen would
have been required to attend a
public school after September,
1926, to be unconstitutional, and
therefore null and void.
The right of parents and
guardians to direct the education
of their children is guaranteed by
the Constitution, the court de-
clared in an opinion by Justice
McReynolds, and cannot be
abridged by legislation which had
no reasonable relation to some
purpose within the control of the
State.
Continuing, Judge McReynolds
asserted that the fundamental
theory of liberty upon which all
governments In this Union re-
pose excludes any general power
of the State to standardize its
children by forcing them to ac-
cept instruction from public
teachers only. The child is not
the mere creature of the State;
those who nurture him and direct
his destiny have the right, coupl-
ed with the high duty, to recog-
nize and prepare him for addi-
tional obligations"
No question as to the power of
the State to reasonably regulate
all schools; to inspect. supervise,
and examine them, their teach
ers and pupils; to require that all
children of proper age attend
