about to offer NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
program to Congress. This winter
they will assail the cost of enforcing
prohibition and attempt to hook
themselves on the tail Of the Cool
idge economy kite by declaring that
the $4000O.OO0 spent this year in
booting the bootlegger into oblivion
will require $100,O00,0O0 next year.
Once more they will try to slip an

have about the same chance as the

The Sixty eighth Congress was as

RIGHT TO REGULATE SCHOOLS

RIGHT TO REGULATE SCHOOIS
A State cannot compel children 10
attend public school, as attempted
in the state of Oregon. This deci-
sion of the Supreme Court of the
country has been expected. Such an
exercise of power is not permitted
under the Constitution, never has
been and never should be while finite
minds, subject to human limitations
compose the Government. 1t would
be a two edged sword in the hands
of the public. now cutting one way,
and again another-but cutting. be
sure Of that.
This decision does not deny the
State authority reasonably to regu-
late the schools, the character and
disposition of the teachers, to insist
upon the teaching of essentials TO
good citizenship or to prevent the
teaching Of that which may be inim-
ical to the public welfare. If the
State doesn't do that it will be the
peoples fault. They have the au-
thority.
Even here 1t is possible to foresee
more or less friction. For instance,
may the State of Tennessee by ma
jority vote of its Legislature decree
that an essential Of education to be
taught in all schools. private as well
az public, is that the world was made
in six days instead Of six other per-
iods of time, that there is no such
thing as evolution? We surely will
not be without opportunity to differ
in many matters respecting educa-
ton. How much more SO had the
Oregon law been upheld.

Augusta has a good fire depart

stration Of this fact was given Mon

that but for great skill in fire fight

burning structure.
such a fire department under efii-
Gent management. as Augustus u.s.
Is an asset to the city. Our citizens
generally, recognize this. but 1t might

to their confidence and approval.
This would seem an opportune
occasion to, allude to the growth OF
certain conditions aggravating dan
ger from fire in the residential parts
Of the city. conditions that increase
congestion and invite collection OF
infiammable material. We refer TO
the nesting Of little garages, many
Of them with wooden. oil soaked
floors where oil waste is likely 20
collect, in behind and adjoining
buildings with the result that in
event of an outbreak Of fire these
would be as nearly inaccessible as
were the buildings on Oak Street
This would seem to be matter Tor
serious and immediate consideration

Incidentally it may be interesting
to learn that IN 1905, when he was
six years. old and the family lived IN
Kishneff, at which time a pogrom

mother was knocked insensible by a

The father was a bricklayer with
a wife and three sons to support,
with no knowledge Of the English
language and but $40 when he land

six have been taught to lay bricks.
