Sober, Brave, Agile,
Free, Is Bedouin Code

Salkhad, Djebel Druse.-So-
Der as a camel, brave as lion,
agile as the gazelle, and more
than all of them free and indie
pendent, is the description
which the Bedouin, son of the
desert, applies to himself.
True as a die" is an addi-
ton which Nackri Bey, one of
the most powerful chiefs of, the
Bedouin tribesmen in Trans
jordania, would like to have
added to the description.
For centuries the Bedouins
have conducted raids on their
neighbors, playing no favorites
and sparing no one. The Druses
themselves, great warriors that
they are, receive frequent Wis
its from the flying horsemen.

IT'S ABOUT TIME

After two and One-half years of dilly-
dallying while all the lOophOles afforded by
the laws tecnicalities were being used to
delay hearing of criminal charges against
them, Albert B. Fall and Edward L. Do
heny have finally been brought to trial.
At last they must face the criminal al
legations growing out of the oil scandals
that are almost ancient history.
The mills of justice grind exceedingly
slow, even though sometimes they grind
exceeding small.
Entirely apart from a consideration of
the guilt or innocence Of Fall and DOheny,
it is long past time for them to be hailed
into court While their clever attorneys
were taking advantage of every technicali-
ty in the law promising to delay the cases
during the last two and One-half years, the
court system of this country has been on
trial before the public.
Whenever strong political or financial in
fluences are brought to bear to protect the
rich and powerful who are charged with
some Offense, the eyes of the public follow
that case closely. They have been watch
ing the Fall and DOheny case
And whenever in such cases, delays anC
pOstponements result, as they have in this
the faith of the people in the courts is I'm
deTTnined. 1t is a sad thing for any cOun

build County High School and levy tax
on the whole county to support the same.
The children must be educated.
Over here in Sheridan county much the
same condition exists. The graded schools
are packed to capacity in every village IN
the county.
A few of the villages are maintaining
poor two year, three year and four year
high school courses, and these small taclll-
ties are overburdened. These high schools
are neither up to standard nor adequate
and the taxpayers in these districts are
overburdened with taxes for their support.
Most of these districts need more room Tor
grade requirement and the wherewithal IS
not present to meet them.
In Plentywood the high school is crowded
to capacity. The same is true Of the grade
schools. District Number 20 cannot provide
more buildings-the debt limit will not
allow it.
So it would seem that a County High
School is the logical thing here. All Of the
other high schools in the county could and
should close-the rooms and equipment de-
voted to the graded school needs, and all OF
the high school students be sent to one
school which would be properly furnished
with teachers, equipment and buildings.
This high school would be one OF the
best in the state-Junior college work could
also be provided, thus affOrding two years
of college work right here in Sheridan coun-
ty-at a great saving to those charged
with the education of the young.
A county high school would be located
wherever the voters elect to place it.
! 1t is a venture which the people OF this
county should give some thought, and thu

hear from the taxpayers on the subject TO
