McHugh's presence insures the
meet being evenly and efficiently
carried out. He's got it all over
"Hardboiled" Smith. but his con
else knowIege OF track affairs
makes him an admirable starter.
ThereN will be three events for
young ladies. The program calls
for a so and rs yard dash, and a
440.yard relay. Grade school run
ners will have five events, and the
Junior high schools will have three
tricks.
All this is in addition to the
thirteen events for the high and
preps schools.
From the state of affairs i'm
the local schools, it does not ap-
pear at all improbable that some
out of town squad will carry off
the top hOnOrs for points. The
anti-fraternity ban has wrecked
the high schools here, and has
aided somewhat the Prep schools.
The Dewitt Props. coached by
Jimmy Connolly, are the most for
midable team in Washington, but
they may have much of their
strength shorn through eligibility
requisites. II is rule of the "C''
Club that an athlete must have
three months of work in the school
he represents before ne can partici-
pate. Many In the Dewitt Prep
squad have been there for only a
few weeks.
The meet will start at 80 and
it will be brought to finish
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
4:30.
The feature of the afternoon
will be the five-mlIe marathon,
which is to be the last OF the
series OF races Of that distance
which the AlOySius Club has
staged. There are already twenty
one entrants, and the crown worn
by Melvin Leach, the marine
corps representative, is impeTiled.
Dan Healy and others of the
Aloysius Club will be in there and
the other young MEN who have been
training ardously for the race are
certain to cause Mr.. Leach some
trouble.
Handsome prizes will be given 10
the winners Of each event. and
there will be y, prize for the team
with the hiGhNt total Of points.

THE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOL,

=. The question 10. has arisen in Co 'dy of placing the Bible in
will probably be taken by the school board.
The presence of the Bible in the public schools is no new
departure. Almost any adult can remember that in the DAYS
when he or she went to school,, the first service of the school
vas a prayer and the reading of a brief section from the Bible.
t gurang 'ntn later year this custom seems to have been discon-
the belief that possibly the failure to observe these rites is n
OF the contributors to the crime wave which is so prevalent
the youth of today.
p,.,o The Herald is Of the opinion that the presence of the Holy
bible, even as much as the reading of it, is very essential in
the common school It believes that there should be nothing
UNCONVENTIONAL about the reading of the Bible in the school.
Practically all religions accept the Bible, or parts of it, and that
in the use of it in the schools only those sections which are
accepted by Protestant and Catholic alike should be read, and
then without comment; Better still, that no unfairness should
Catholic Bibles be placed in the schools.
There is always one thing for American people to remember.
Ihere must be free speech, free press, just laws and free re-
lgious worship in these United States. The placing of the Bible
IN the schools Will in no wise eliminate any of these cardinal
principles which are incorporated in our Constitution, but the
reading o TINS Book, which is recognized by all Christian re-
hg1ons, may prove of inestimable value in bringing the next
generation back to the safe and sane living of our forefathers

REAL ECONOMY

Commenting. on President Cooidge's message to, Congress
winch urges further tax reduction and economy in public affairs,
the New York Times quotes him-"Economy reaches everywhere.
1t carries a blessing to everybody"
The Times then says, editorially, eve cannot have too much
economy. We are more likely to not get enough of it. Mr..
1oohoge whacks the myth that the RICH by some magic pro-
cess, can be made to pay the cost of government. BY the sweat
OF our faces, in one way or another, we all pay taxes, whether
tax bills come to us or not.
The refusal properly to reduce the high surtaxes was an
outgrowth OF this mythology. Mr.. Coolidge renews the recon-
incubation that productive enterprises have the benefit of the
capital that will remain withdrawn from it until the surtax
rates are scientifically scaled downward, with a view to revenue,
not to the punishment of the rich
rs the national tax load is reduced, let cities, counties and
states profit by the example and lower the burden of local taxa

DUE NOTICE

Robert M. LaFollette received concrete evidence that he no
longer is regarded as a Republican when forty nominations of
postmasters for the state of Wisconsin were sent to the senate
by the president, every one of them approved by Senator Irvine
L. Lenroot of Wisconsin. There was no consultation with La
Toilette OIL with any of the so-caned Republican representatives
from the Badger state, all of whom supported LaFolette in his
candidacy for the presidency against Coolidge. Senator Lenroot.
years ago, was one of LaFolettes most loyal lieutenants. but
was cast overheard when he refused to follow LaFolette on the
war issue. The new move by the President is the beginning
of a regular Republican organization in Wisconsin that NAV
depose the LaFoLette crowd from power everywhere in the
country two years from now. Senator Lenroot is to come I'D for
reelection in 1926, and it is figured that with added patronage
at his disposal he will be in a better position to fight the La
Toilette organization.

CHILD LABOR IN CONGRESS

Inc organizations which are backing the national child
LABOR amendment propose to give congress power to legiIate on
age of 18 years. "N
1t is stated that SO states of the American union already
place restrictions m conditions of employment for bows and girls
under the age of Is years.
These state laws provide for protecting child labor from
certain dangerous occupations or by limiting the number of
hours which they may work in factories, mines. etc.
No one advocates or wants to make a law forbidding bows
and girls to work for wages before they are 1S years old on the
farm or in other suitable places.
NO state has passed any such law but it is a n open question
whether the people should give congress any jurisdiction over
TINS matter and lay the foundation for an army of federal en-
poyes to interfere with the children.
1t is doubtful whether any legislation ~forbidding the en-
poyment of boys and girls under 18 is not tending to raise a
generation of soft-handed, white collar idlers and street loafers.
The educational value of labor is not appreciated. in the
formation of character, in building an enduring physical con-
stitution and in developing a modicum of common sense.
