There's deal of trouble going on in Mexico. Outwardly its clash between the Mexican govern raent and the Catholics of the country. It will probably come out in the washing that there has been too much church and that religion in truth has little to do with the cause.
 We're for the American flag. We were born under its folds, we were rpised beneath it's colors We stand for what it stands for. We don't however, stand for, nor believe, much of the bunkum that runs in Lrint under it's picture on the edi- torial pages of some papers. If an editor is going to lie. islander and abuse, why not head his rantings with the black flag? We'd then know what we were up against without wading down into his off, fcrings.

 It's rather a rough game they're pulling off against the Americans in France. To us stay-at-home folk, the jeers, cuss words and chunks of pavement tossed trucu- lently at our countrymen overseas. leads to a conclusion that Paree isn't so gay after all. And wouldn't it be better, for the time being, any way, to do our playing in our own backyard. Our home brew may not be so palatable, nor the leg shows so punkish, but our ears wouldn't be pelted with vituperation, nor our heads with street cobbles.

 In the last school survey by Dr.
 Frank M. Phillips of the George Washington University, and chief statistician of the U. s. Bureau of
 Education, it is made public that the schools of the State of Washing
 ton outrank those of all other
 States. The points are on finance, enrolment, daily attendance and school system efficiency and on
 teacher training. Despite the con- sistent record for excellence, the
 Washington schools are so man. aged, financially, that they are, al- so, cheaper. California is highest
 with a per child annual school cost of $15935. The per child annual school cost for Washington is $81.27.
 Congressman A. M. Free, of Cal, has had another brain storm about Alaska. Let's see: Does this rip snorting, junketing, fault finding official of another State know any, thing of Alaska? Did he come here a deck sleeper, on crowded small boat years ago? Did he land him. self on bleak and rocky beach, sling a pack to his back and hit it out for the great unknown beyond the -toothed. ice-cloaked noun tains of the coast range? Has he sledded it over the lumpy bog and Swampy lowland of the interior? Has he fought the chill of winter, the almost overwhelming lonliness of the long night and the nerve nracking silence of the unexplored? | Has he scaled granite cliffs and footed it on and through the gloomy forests of the vales? Has he done anything to make it easier for the men and women who dared and won the last frontier of the world? Has he said anything that would cheer the tired hearts of those who mucked and moiled 1 n the opening of the vast country? Has he done anything to help make Alaska a wealth producer? It's easy to sit back on the cushions and criticize--for pay. It's easy to find fault with a new country, the developing of which soft meated men of the Free type took no hand.
