EDUCATION WEEK

Education is the foundation upon which this
country has been built the factor through which
it has attained prosperity and good government.
1t is through the public schools that the ideals
or America, the principles of government, the
ability to make good, Industrious and patriotic
citizens are instilled into the character of the
child.
In recognition of this and "to acquaint the
public with the actual work of the schools, with
their ideals, their needs, and their achievements"
the week of November to IA has been set aside
as Education week. 1t is sponsored by the Ma
tiOnal Education association and the American
Legion, and by action of the World Federation of
Education association at its Toronto meetings was
recommended for observance throughout the
nations of the world. Monday is to be known
as Health day; Tuesday, as Home and School day;
Wednesday, Know Your School day; Thursday,
Opportunity day; Friday, Armistice and Citizen
ship day, and Saturday, Community day.
1t is indeed appropriate that Armistice day
should be Incorporated into this week 1t marks
the end of a struggle during which many
thousands of lives were sacrificed ''to make the
world safe for democracy" The struggle must
be carried on so that they will not have suffered
hardships, endured pain and death in vain; not,
it is true, with guns and implements of warfare,
but through the public schools.
The perfection of the public school system,
giving an equal opportunity to every child, will
be the greatest and most lasting monument that
can be erected to those who graves give mute
testimony of the great sacrifice they made.
Keeping this in mind, and that the future welfare
of the country is dependent upon education, every
citizen should take upon himself the responsibility
of seeing that Education week is observed and
attains its purpOse-'that the public be informed
of the achievements and needs of the schools"
The objectives of the schools that the National
Education association and the Legion suggest be
emphasized during this week are: Sound health
worthy home membership; mastery of the tools
technics and spirit of learning; faithful citizen
ship; vocational effectiveness; wise use of leisure
ethical character.

times play scurvy tricks on figures
in the political field. National poll
ticians at the present time are indulg-
ing in some quiet chuckling over a
recent newspaper attemnt to launch
a Smith missile at Coolidge which in
stead became boomerang. This par
ticular news agency rabidly interested
in Smith issued a feature story that
the Smith candidacy was the one
great worry which hung over the re-
cent Republican National committee
meeting. The idea was, of course, to
create a picture of the Smith candi-

Republicans were afraid of, and thus
start the elimination of the Smith

WHEELER'S CANDIDACY
From the Judith Basin County Press

From the Judith Basin County Press
United States Senator Burton K. Wheeler an
nounced last week at Butte before labor meet
ing that he would be a candidate for reelection
Thus he is the first candidate in the field. 1t
has been for some time an established fact that
Wheeler would again seek a soft cushion in the
senate chambers in 1928, but it was not expected
that he would come out So soon with statement
to that effect.
1t is generally conceded that Wheeler will secure
the Democratic nomination. This, however, is
not saying that the Democrats want him, but
anyone who has given study to Montana politics
knows that the Democratic moguls are afraid to
come out in the open and oppose him. They would
rather see him in the United States senate than
have him to contend with in state politics. There
seems to be sort of armed truce between the
Democrats and Wheeler to the effect that Wheeler
can have the senate job, insofar as the Democrats
are concerned, just as long as he keeps his nose
out of state politics and devotes his questionable
talent to the uplift of the Chinese. + =
Senator Wheeler's short visit to Montana this
summer was peculiar-he did not make a speech
at farmers picnic What is one to deduce from
this fact? Does Wheeler figure he has the farmer
vote tied up in a SACK and that if he can subdue
the opposition of the bankers the newspapers
the miners, the oil operators and the sugar manu-
facturers, his road back to the senate will be
free of all obstacles? This may be his reasoning
but if so he is overlooking one very important
factor-the people of Montana want representa-
tive in the United States senate who is as least
as much concerned in the people who elect him
as he is in the poor Chnk The Republicans

The tendency to nominate the wild

post and salary is admirable from a
sympathetic standpoint, but it is
harmful to the whole cause of woman
suffrage. There are cases where the
salary is an absolute necessity, but
that defense has been swept away in
recent cases where the women have

WEST WANTS TARIFF

Already something seems to have happened to
the free trade scheme to conquer the West in
the coming election.
A few months ago we read glowing statements /
by free trade authorities to the effect that the
farmers Of the West were in revolt and that in |
the next election these same farmers would de-
mand the repeal of the protective tariff and a
return to the good old days when they burned corn
in their cookstoves in Nebraska and Kansas be-
cause it was cheaper than coal.
But of late we have heard less about this free
trade conquest of the West Evidently the plans
are not developing as rapidly as was thought
possible. There is even some evidence to indicate
that what the farmers of the West want is not
less tariff, but more protection!
The so-caIled progressive senators of the West
and the Middle West met in conference in Wash
ingtOn few days ago. These senators certainly
know what the farmers are thinking about if
anyone does, and what they said about tariff at
the conclusion of the conference is interesting.
The following is taken from the accurate New
York Times, itself host in the army of the low
tariff forces:
"It seems from this exposition of the groups
plans that Senator Borah and his associates intend
to assert themselves through a concerted effort
to make the regular party leaders concede the
right of that part Of the country west of the
Mississippi to obtain legislation helpful to its
interests. In this connection the agricultural pro
blem was emphasized in the formal statement, anC
to that Senator Borah added orally, in response
to questions by newspaper men, that the western
group would seek, through the tariff commission'I
operations, higher rates of duty upon dozer
or more products of the farm
''The tariff commission now has before it peti
tions for raising the duties on the products which
the western group desires to see obtain more

NATIONAL DEFENSE FUNDS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The at
tempts made at increasingly frequent
intervals to create the impression that
the president and the Republican ad-
ministratiOn are engaged in a joint
conspiracy to hamstring appropria-
tions for national defense deserve a
little corrective treatment.
For the sake of the record it would
be just as we'll to. set down the fact
that in the last seven years the United
States has spent three times as much
on national defense as it did in the
seven years prior to 1914, the first
year of the World war. These fig
ures do not include the river and
harbor work carried on by the war
department, or payments for pen

foreign products which are able to undersell the
American products in the American market. The
list of these products, outlined today, includes
flaxseed, milk and cream, peanuts, soy beans,
cottonseed, onions, eggs and egg products, cher
ries, fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes and corn.
Under the flexible provisions of the tariff law,
the president has authority after investigation by
the tariff commission, to raise or lower the duties
on these products so per cent"
Evidently somebody was stringing the free
traders few months ago in telling them what
the farmers wanted. Or perhaps the wish was
father to the thought.

tearing the hide off of Senator Reed

at least, that he is unworthy of being

GREAT LOSS TO THE G. o. P.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The death
of Col. H. L. Remmel, the Republican
national committeeman from Arkan-
sas, spells a loss to the entire polit-
ical world, irrespective of party, of a
man who was fine, alert, sincere, a
battler, and to his associates in the
Republican National committee, the
loss of a great friendship.
When a few days ago certain men,
bers of the committee gathered in
Washington for conferences with
Chairman Butler, one of Mr.. Buffers
first acts was to send for and In the
name of the committee a message of
encouragement and expression of
hope of speedy recovery, and in ac-
knOwledgement the committee re-
ceived a fine, spirited message from
the leader who is now dead.
Col. Remmel was political leader
who always respected his word
whether it was given to friend or foe
Col. Remmel represented a type from
which the country draws its rea
| strength and his loss is thus doubly
regretted.

and thus varying from half a mile e
four miles away from a station.
The station crew is divided into two
watches of two men each, who share
the patrol from sunset to sunrise,
keeping a sharp watch into the dark
ness for disabled vessels or small
boats In distress. One man takes the
station watch which is kept in the
tower or adjacent beach, so that he
may listen for the bell on the service
telephone line, in addition to his look
out for signals from his mate on
patrol,
Upon the return of the latter to the
station, the first man goes out on
patrol, and in due course, the second
group of men is called to relieve the
first watch. During thick or foggy
weather, this system is continued as
long as it may be necessary, day and
night. Such a guard is of great value
in certain dangerous districts such as
at Deaths Door Passage on the
mail route from Ellison Bay and De
troit Harbor, Wis, where drifting ice
fields are shifted by the gales and
currents in the Winter months, and
sometimes the carrier is caught far
out on the ice when the breakup
occurs.
Many a mail carrier has had good
cause to bless the Coast Guards at
the station at Plum Island, as was the
case not so long since, when the post
man found himself isolated on a cake
of ice barely large enough to hold the
horse and sleigh. The patrol had
noticed the danger, however, and by
series of maneuvers along the
tricky ice managed to reach the I'M
fortunate carrier with ropes, SO that
he was able to tie up to a nearby ice.
foe and later walk safely to land.
Last year proved to be the biggest
season in the entries history Of the
Coast Guard, as 1898 persons We're
relieved from danger and 3,037 saved
from death. Probably the most dra-
matte feat that was noted by the press
was the rescue OF the Clyde liner

abreast of Cape May.
The doughty captain sent out SOS
signals over his radio and began q
race for life toward the Delaware

it was soon discovered that one was

thus of little use to the Inflated
steamer.
Coast Guard cutters were rushed
from Cold Spring Harbor. n j., and
these, together with a steam pilot
boat and the kickapoo whose Grey
has figured so often in heroic res
cues at sea, tore out into the night
after the flaming vessel. A wild burst
of speed brought the rescue ships to
the sides of the Lenape, and by
means of ropes suspended by the rails
the 367 passengers leaped safely to the
decks of the cutters, and with the
dawn word was flashed around the
world of the heroism of the seamen
and of the imperishable memory that
remains a shining beacon in the sail
ors' Hall of Fame.
X X
THERE are many similar instances
that might be cited as was the case
in the rescue of the 29 men by the
lifeboat crew of a station off Keewee-
nan Point last Thanksgiving time. A
terrific gale was raging over the whole
coast. vet the sturdy seamen rowed
out six miles to the stranded vessel
and brought back their charges in
safety.
Very often the coastal signal lights
that are burned by the beach patrols
are of great value in warning mariners
that they are closer to a dangerous
reef than they are aware, and thus
the captain of such a ship is able to
change his course in time to avert
disaster.
One of the chief responsibilities of
the Coast Guard is the care of the
fishing feet. especially in the Winter
months, ~ hundreds Of these small

AS matter of historical note. it is
interesting to recall that in the days
of the young Nation, each State had
its own Navy, and that it was Alex
ander Hamilton who first conceived
the idea that the United States re
quired special force to guard its
coast, as the Continental Navy had
been disbanded after the War Of the
Revolution.
Eight years after the Revenue Cut
ter Service had been organized under
an act Of the First Congress. during
the period when George Washington
was President, i 4 French privateers
were captured by the 10 vessels of the
new force, and few years later, dur.
ing the War of 1912, the capture of the
first prize ship by the Americans from
the British was due to the strategy
of captain In the Revenue Cutter
Service.
In the Spanish American War the
cutters of this branch of the service
were the first vessels sent down by
President Mckinley to blockade the
coast of Cuba. and in the World War
practically all the cutters that could
| be spared were sent over to Gibraltar
TO convoy food and troop and mer.
chant ships from India up to England
for the allies.
In 1915 Congress created the United
States Coast Guard by combining the
former Life-saving Service. with the
Revenue Gutter Service, In order to
conserve and improve the forces OF
each, which were then constituting a
part of the military organization OF the

operates under the Treasury Depart

of the United States Navy in time

men are assigned to duty with the

tive rank and grade as their comrades

THE patrol of the 10000 miles of
ocean frontier is maintained by
various special branches of the serv-
ice, as some of this work is performed
hundreds of miles off shore or it may
be off the Great Lakes. or duty on the
banks, or along river fronts,
Right in the harbor of Gloucester,
Mass. there are three branches of the
work; live saving for ships wrecked
on or near the beach; small patrol
boats with six or seven men that go
out to aid the fishermen after storms;
and amphibian planes from the Coast
Guard Air Station that scout out over
the ocean for two or three hundred
miles for missing vessels and rum
runners In addition, there is special
work each year along the Maine coast
where the ice must be broken up with
explosives in order to keep the sea
lanes open for navigation.
The Kickapoo was specially htted
out for this duty recently, and lett
month or so ago to cruise along the
New England shores. smashing the ice
on her way so that the mail men and
harbor ships can reach the outlying
islands with food and other neces-
saries.
One very interesting form of the
work is that of the beach patrol,
which is purely American institu-
ton, and was invented some time In
the early seventies by the Life-Saving
Service. A fixed beat along the shore
is arranged for, depending for its
length upon the natural contours of
the coast in respect to hills and other
prominences. from which o view of
the water may be readily obtained,
