HEROES

VERY few persons have stepped
from private life and blissful
obscurity to become hero in the
public eye, favorite whose every
act is recorded and commented on,
without, sooner or later, making
themselves absurd. We have so
many examples of totally un-
known person rising overnight to
fame and popularity and shrinking
almost in the same length of time,
back into oblivion, that now when
ever a new champion arises Gym
ical public sneers, Gin short
time he will be forgotten"
No man is perfect and public
favor is the most tickle thing on
earth. Of late most public favor
ties, realizing their stay in the
spot light was transient, have en-
deavored to cash in on their good
fortune-in other words, pick up
the easy money while they had a
chance. Lindbergh seems to be an
exception to this rule, and at pres
emit, some months after his epoch
marking adventure, he is still pro-
claimed the most popular living
hero in the world.

COMMUNITY DEFECTS

TN EVERY community there are
certain defects that are undesir-
able and unnecessary. In some cit
les and towns, the idea prevails
that such things can't be helped
But in more progressive ones, peo-
pie set out to work to get rid of
these undesirable conditions, and
they do not content themselves
with irresponsible fault finding.
If city has certain faults, they
either can or cannot be removed.
If they can't it is best to forget
about them. If they can be remov-
ed, then some organization or in
fluential people should take the
subject up and work for this inn
provement. Anything within reas-
on, with all our bright and pro-
gressive people, can be accom-
plished here in Kennewick in the
way of Improvement.

YE COLLEGE YOUTH

PACK to college is the cry this
week of many Kennewick boys
and girls. Back to dear old Alma
Mater; back to the ssfrat" house;
back to the sorority; back to the
good old glad hand.
Once more the youth that during
the summer has quailed at the
merest suggestion of disapproval
in the eyes of a parent. will glare
belligerantly Upon trembling pledg-
es, stride the campus with the
pride of conquerer, smile with
greatest favor upon attractive
members of the opposite sex, dam
forever professors given to written
lessons and unexpected quizzes,
and write pleading letters home
for money.
Soon again "the brothers. in
dozens of fraternity houses at the
various colleges, will hold nightly
sessions for the purpose of spur
ring their members on to greater
activity. Once again campus pol
itics will become the most import
ant thing in the universe to cam
pus politicians. Once again the
modest lads and lassies of Kenne-
wick will feast and dine during
crush week" to come back home
In the spring to stride the streets
of our fair city displaying on their
protruded bosoms, to somewhat
unappreciative world, beautiful
gold and pearl frat pins.
Once more will the yell, "yoh
frosh," strike terror to the hearts
of male "yearlings" who wander
from the straight and narrow path
laid down for them by upper class
men. Another year will five re-
sounding smacks, delivered to a
vital spot by muscular arm of
a member of the vigilance commit
tee, bring tears to the eyes of, and
impress discipline on, the humble
freshmen.
One again will football and
"proms'A become the most talked
of subjects among the younger cit
liens of our nation. College opens,
and youth responds!

COMBINATIONS
WE heard SO much complaint be.

NE heard 50 hauch coiiipiaiii1 ue-
fore the fair about the impos-
sibility of gathering enough stuff
throughout the country for exhib-
ition purposes that we really ap-
preached the fair with a bit of
misgiving. The stuff as it was
shown here Friday and Saturday
certainly proved that this valley
can and does have the quality
stuff. The hard part of making the
exhibition fell upon the heads of
the various departments, and they
certainly deserved lot of credit
for their work.
Dale Smith and Al Smith, with
their helpers on the committee,
certainly deserve a lot of COM
mendation for the fine results they
obtained with their displays. Of
course they had to have the CO.
operation of the farmers but it
took heap of time nevertheless.
Joe Martin, in charge of the a.
musement and feature end of the
fair put on a show the like of
which never was shown here be-
fore. Mrs. Longmire who directed
the pageant end, is real find for
Kennewick.

association, had flock of darn

European Chemical and

Than Billion in Capital

PARIS, Oct. 19.-The giant Euro
pean chemical trust, which is being
formed by British, French, German
and Belgian capitalists, will repre-
sent a combined capitalization of
more than a billion dollars, it was
learned yesterday.
The move follows the giant Euro
pean steel cartel recently formed and
is move on the part of European
capitalists to compete with the Uni
ted States. Competition, in part,
takes the form Of wholesale wage
slashes, lengthening of hours and
the speed-up methods.
The lead in the organization of the
trust is being taken by the Unforeseen
Commensurate (German) and the
British chemical interests controlled
by Sir Alfred Mond.

BourgeOisified School
Teacher Strikes Snag
In Philadelphia Talk
BY THOMAS L. DABNEY.

PHfLA., Oct. 19.-What sort of
education is best suited to the needs
of the workers? Are the regular
agencies and concepts Of education
adapted to the problems of the work
ers or are they propaganda agencies
of the boss? These are some of the
questions which the discussion at last
Sundays Forum of the Philadelphia
Council, American Negro Labor Con-
gress, precipitated.
The main address of the afternoon
was made by Miss Rosa L. Watson,
one of the public school teachers of
this city. Her subject was 'Educa-
ton for Workers." The concept of
education as presented by Miss Wat
son was bourgeois to the core, being
based on the function of education as
outlined by the American Education
Association, to which unfortunately,
most Of the organized American
teachers belong.
Some Illusions Punc.ured.
Commenting on the speakers state
ment that our homes are deteriorat-
ing because mothers are frequenting
the theaters and fathers are attend
ing their clubs while the children are
prowling alone about the streets, A.
j. Carey pointed out that the aver
age worker has no home; that he
rents a shack, and is often forced to
rent out rooms to dodgers thus MAX
ing for congestion and social malad-
justment in the homes. Poor home
life is due to poor economic condi-
lions among the workers. The aver
age mother does not frequent the
theater; but she works in a factory
and receives such a low wage that
she cannot afford to attend theaters.
Carey also pointed out that moral
evils and bad moral ideas are not
due to innate depravity but are the
products of a faulty economic and
social system.
A. Warreno, Charlotte Jones, and
Rose Carey pointed out during the
discussion that all agencies of educa-
ton such as schools, the screen, news
papers and churches are the propa-
ganda agencies of the ruling class.
