NoTE-This poem was written by
John Lassen at time when he suf-
fered breakdown. He was i'll for
many years with tuberculosis and he
died from this disease. The poem
brings back stirring incidents from
the eventful life of John Lassen. 1t
refers to the time when he was lib
Grated by the popuIaee in Budapest
after he had been imprisoned for maxi
ing an attempt on the life of Count
Tisza. It was during the Karolyi rev.
oiution that he was liberated. The
emblem of the KarolW bourgeois rev.
olution was white autumn flower.
The populace threw white flowers at
the prison gate, then they stormed the
prison and freed Lassen. The same
thing had been done during the Kos
suth revolution in Hungary when a
prominent political prisoner was freed
in the same manner. Then the poem
goes on to speak of America. This is
very powerful poem written in an
expressionist manner.

the medical bill of family of five.
How does that statistician account
for the presence of three children in
the family? Did their working class
mother drop them like cat, or did it
cost her $4,000 per child to bring
them into this miserable world? And
in what condition is the mother now
after the birth of the three slaves?
She goes regularly to a female spe-
cialist, because, she can't lead a natur-
al life.
We are allowed $4,000 for car fare.
That depends on how much the work
er spends when he goes to look for
job, as to what portion of this ap-
preparation is left for the rest of the
family.
Very amusing, indeed, is the part
put away for amusements. Just 5000
is all it takes for father, mother and
three kids to keep themselves amused
for year.
When one stops to think that to see
Charlie Chaplin throw a pie in a po-
liceman's face, costs with war tax
SIC, and as it amuses us very much
to see that which we would like to
do, it can be seen that $4,000 is not
enough. AS to a higher form of amuse-
ment, we have to flip five-dollar bill
when we get into that class.
For organizations, such as church
and labor, $500 is set aside. We
really don't know what comment to
make. Let us hope it all goes to labor.
Let us note, however, that to be real
American one must possess a khan
night gown, which costs $1,000.
No provision is made for toys for
the children, vacation, moving from
place to place and a multitude of other
necessaries.
Unemployment.
From two to seven million workers
are continuously out of work. The jan
uary government Labor Review shows
80 per cent of STAG establishments as
working part time. In some mining
sections of the United States the un-
employment situation is reaching the
100 per cent mark. Unemployment is
driving wages downward, even the
sooth-sayers must admit. 1t results in
lowering the American standard of
living. If worker is out Of work for
only three months, it reduces his stan
dard rs per cent. To merely exist I'M

women are drawn into the breadwin-

Once again the grim reaper, death
has been in our midst and taken
from us one of our loved ones. The
coming of this reaper always brings
sorrow in his wake, but how treblv
sad is his presence felt when he
takes as his toll one of our little
ones.
Little Mildred V. Roberts began
an earthly existence in Union town
ship, near Morganville. O., on May
20, 1924, and departed this life Oct.
IA, 1925, aged one year, four
months and "a days. She was like a
flower that burst forth with bloom
in the morning, soon to fade and
pass from us. While her stay here
was short, her spirit was gentle and
her heart pure and loving. She was
always bright and cheerful, and
brought happiness to all who were
around her.
Her mother, who survives her,
and other relatives and lifelong
friends will ever cherish her mem
ory. but while we miss her bright
face from our midst, yet we have the
blessed hope of meeting her again
in that home where the grim reaper
never comes, and where parting and
sorrow are no more.
Funeral services were held at
Pisgah, conducted by Rev. Frampton
from Glouster, and burial was made
at that place.-XX.

The state and county are building

of your landscape, but what. will YOU
say to your relatives and friends when
they come back on visit and ask
about the school where, perhaps, they
with "childhood's wide and wondrous
eyes" first conned the spelling book
and reader? How will you hide your
shame if you have to admit you sub
mitted to the forfeiture of this an
cient and common right, without, at
least, using every effort within your
power to redress the wrong and re-
cover the right? Those little one-room
school houses, enshrined in the affec-
tion of your native-born all over this
country, when once closed, become a
monument to mark your folly
and grave yard wherein will
lie buried the ambitions, hopes and op-
portunities of the children, whose only
chance for an education was buried
when the dooUof the school was clos
ed.
One Of the dark pages in the his
tory of America IN the World War is
the one that shows that the Federal
Government GRATED into it's magnif-
icent army to fight the battle of de-
mocracy in defense of liberty, boys
who were bern and reared in the Unit
ed States, and wkc could neither read
nor write the English language.
Shall Morgan county recruit that ar
my& the great army of peace, with
boys who can neither read nor write,
because some of the common schools
were closed, because there was no
money to pay the. teachers salaries?
1t is dangerous policy for the
state to begin closing the common
schools. You can't confine the evil in
fluence within the imaginary lines of
a school district. You have stigmatfz-
ed the whole community. You have
made a crevasse in the dyke that has
taken hundred years of labor and
sacrifice and self-denial to build. You
are surrendering the most sacred
right under the constitution, for with
out the right of schools, property
rights become a sordid thing, and life
itself a mere existence.
The parents of children in the pop
ulous districts of Morgan county
should stand by their neighbors in the
smaller districts in defense of their
constitutional rights to a common
school, as New York and Virginia
stood by Massachusetts, when her port
was closed by the edict of "A tyrant
king. There was little matter of tax
es involved in that controversy, but
it was the right involved and not the
taxes that sent Washington and his
militia to the parade ground on Bos-
ton. Commons. If state superintend-
ent of instruction under the doubtful
delegation of legislative authority can
withhold state aid from an organized
school district in Morgan county,
where the enrolment is arbitrarily
fixed, then suggest that you change
the law, and go back to the old sys-
tenn when times were hard; when ev-
