TEACHERS FIND
DISCRIMINATION
(By a Worker Correspondent .

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 14.-Out of
1,500 teachers employed in the public
schools here, only so could be rallied
to join the local union Of the Amer
lean Federation of Teachers which
was organized recently.
Opposition on the part of school of
ficials, and fear of discrimination as
we'll as the almost complete absence
of class-consciousness among the
teachers were found to be the great
handicap that stood in the way of or
ganization.
A national organizer, sent from
Chicago, found it difficult to induce
teachers to attend her meetings.

LONDON, Feb 14--Public resent
ment to the huge u S. naval program,
is growing here, with many newspa-
pers and politicians describing Amer
lea in much the same terms as useo
to describe Germany's military pre-
paration just prior to the outbreak of
the World War. At the same time
some politicians are trying to guide
this resentment into channels which
will boost a similar British naval
program, taking full advantage of
the growing "fear and hatred" of u.
S. imperialism.
General Echoes Litvinoff.
OXFORD, Feb. 14.-Echoing the
statement by Maxim Litvinoff at the
Geneva disarmament conference, Cen
eral E. D. Swinton, inventor of the
tank, stated in an address here yes
terday that despite the many treaties
poisonous gases will be used in the
next great war.
Continuing to describe the horror
of the coming war, the general stated
that the war would affect entire peo-
pies, not just the combating armies,
and that the fighting men would ac-
tually be safer thar the civilians. He
said that while there would be no
mercy to women and children this
"would shorten the period of COM
flict," and that he considered the pro-
tests during the last war against the
sinking Of the Lusitania and the
bombing of London were unwarran-
ted.
The general went on to say that
the next war would mean the employ
ment of disease germs, airplanes

The Origin of Faith.
lcincinnati EnanirerA ]

Rabbi stephen s. Wise is at times startlingly frank in what he has to say. Recently this cele- brated scholar averred that religion and fear are not synonymous, as many persons contend but are instead contradictory terms.
 However, Dr. Wise maintained: Fear is the beginning of religion" This unorthodoxy he softened by affirming: 'But freedom from fear is the end Of religion. The most tragic failure of religion is the failure to overcome fear Tens of millions of people are outside the churches because, instead. fears have been exploited and utilized in the attempt to hold in thrall to religion, and the fault lies with those ministers who have tried to make it something of fear and dread"
 have further disseminated this idea and thought of fear. Children have been frightened into obedience and sometimes into paroxysms of dread by religious mothers who whispered into their tender ears tales of "the wrath to come"
 Dr. Wise said further: Christianity has done the most however of all the religions of history to overcome the dread of death, the greatest and most real fear in the world because of it's teach ing of resurrection through a Savior risen from the tomb. To the Christians death is a victory. To the religious of the Orient death is a defeat sheer surrender The Jews have taken an agnostic stand, middle ground between Chris tianity and the Eastern religions; Judaism says simply to accept death, whether it be victory or defeat, Death is instrument of Cod We can trust the Author of every good and perfect gift without any proof that God will restore life"
 Each finds his soul needs after fashion suited to such requirement. It should help such speculation to realize that nothing truly dies, neither tree nor star, nor mortal soul, nor the inefable sweetness of melodys vibrations.
 And what should be important is that men and women should strive to bring their ideals of heaven of future existence to fullest Tuition on this sad, happy, sometimes perplexed old earth, which si bearing them through the inn mensites of space to goals of which we can know but little. But Fear surely is not the Pilot of the Earth Ship.

INSTRUCTING THE YOUNG IN
 METHODISM.

Southern Methodist educators recently meet ing in Memphis, Tenn, the State made famous by the Dayton monkey trial, adopted reso- lution opposing Gov. AT Smith for President and seeking to enlist other educational leaders of the South against his candidacy. A North Ala bama delegate apparently voiced the attitude of some of his colleagues when he jumped to his feet declaring,
 think it's time some resounded
 the cry of down with rum, Romansm
 and rebellion" more.
 To the credit of the educators, there were some who rejected this view and another Ala bama member with political wisdom than his colleague, urged:
 We must make it clear that
 opposing Smith because he is a wet and
 not because he is Catholic
 These educators, most of them ministers of the Gospel were ostensbly in meeting to confer on and discrss problems germane to the advance ment of sectarian schools under their direction. Yet a big majority felt no compuncion about invading as spokesmen for seetarian educators and their institutions, the field of politics It is such tactics that are hurting the cause of the churches of this country today There can be no rightful criticism of them speaking de- nominat.ona matters, pertaining either to their church or it's schools, because that falls within the scope of their duties. But when they take up political subjects they represent no views other than purely personal ones that each may enter tain as individuals Their positions in the church or their respective schools should and do not carry with them authority to assume political leadership. Yet this is exactly what they under take to proclaim by such resolutions that adopted declaring that "the nomination of Al Smith would be unfortunate and in our opinion would not enlist the support of the educational leaders of the South"

THAT NEW CURRENCY.

A recent announcement of the Treasury De- pertinent said that the and smaller sized currency, that has received much publicity will not reach the consumer before the end of the current year. Now we are not keeny interested in the fact that the bills will be approxi- matey one-thifd smaller than those now in cir cuation, that the Government is going to save about $1,000.000 annually the cost of producing paper money. But phrase in the announcement does intrigue our imagination. This new currency is to be more convenient and more durable Our chief trouble with the present paper money, and ''hard" money too, far as that goes has been founded it's inconeenience and its failure to hold out If the Treasury ex-

Community Suicide.
Anchorage Times.l


 One of the strangest phenomena witnessed in most towns and small cities is the apparent eag- erness with which many otherwise good citizens contribute to the tendency to commit community suicide.
 These citizens will often show uncommon zeal in boosting any movement to obtain civic im- proyements, to promote the location of in- dustries, to secure better educational facilities and so on. Yet many of these same proud boost CTS will deliberately engage in practice which nulliies all their otherwise laudable efforts and then they wonder why their town doesn't go ahead
 We refer to the suicidal habit of buying away from home, which is largely responsible for the failure of many communities to make the progress which their natural advantages should make possible. The money that ought to be kept at home for the expansion of local trade and indus try is sent away to distant cities, never to re- turn, through the indifference or thoughtlessness of the very persons who should set an example of local pride and loyalty
 trifling saving here and there usually more imaginary than real, is sufficient to cause the average citizen to forget his duty to his community and to himself. which if performed would mean more in the direction of local pros perity than all his other boosting efforts put together.

HOOvERS FIRST CAMPAIGN PLANK.

Secretary Hoovers first Presidential nomina- ton campaign plank is out. It is directed to all of the followers of Isaak Walton, and in It the leading candidate for the job of Republican standard bearer out unequivocaly in favor of fshin'. He is for it without reservations, and, knowing the trouble with the average seek after the fnny tribe to be that his efforts are so often ill-rewarded, he is now on record for and better catches.
 As MT. Hoover is first an egineer and next a fisherman, it was but natural that his plank should be more or less statistical His views as given in an address before an Isaak Walton Club follow:
 The State of New Jersey secures
 accounting from it's licensees of the
 number they catch It works out about
 4.5 fish per fisherman per annum Fish
 not liars, and therefore con-
 clude that in that well-organzed
 State it was heavy going.
 I submit each fishermen ought to
 catch at least fifty fish during the sea-
 l would like than that my
 self but that ought to be demanded as
 a minimum under the rights as implied
 in the Declaration of Independence, pro
 vided it included one big one for pur-
 poses in indelble memory, converse
 tion and historic record.
 If that doesn't land the Isaak Walton vote fol the Secretary of Commerce. we suggest tha Commissioner Henry O'Maey ought to be al lowed to organize Alaska fishing excursions for the prominent members of that gran, and ancient organization In this way, the neet for further declarations the issue by Candi date Hoover would be obvated. Those makinj the trips could do all the talking and if thei tales excited increduity it wouldn't necessaril, reflect either the veracity of MT Hoover o his efficient Bureau of Fisheries chief Commis sioner O'Malley.

 Representative Tilson of Connecticut floor leader of the House, arguing against tariff re- vision at this time, remarks that
 The tariff is, in fact business mat ter, and any revision of it should be made as nearly business matter as possible
 The tariff will not be "a business matter' solely until business interests bent on securing favored treatment in tariff-making are kept from contributing to political campaign funds and oth- erwise manipulating politics as a means to that end. .

develop the truth. Of course defendant has right
to know exactly what he is charged with and prosecu-
ton must be confined to that charge.
The technicalities of our judicial procedure so
many and involved that is no wonder that justice
miscarres frequently And until the public its own
initiative enforces lettering of this condition, the
farce will continue.
We recall in Montana district court few
years ago in which was charged with felony.
When the states in chief had been presented the
defense moved for directed verdict the ground of
insuffciency of evidence The motion was granted.
The state appealed and the supreme court reversed the
judgment But for the that the defendant al
ready had been placed in jeopardy he could not be
tried This is illustration of how the system works
Judge Winston is correct in stating that state judges
should have the same power federal judges in COM
menting the evidence. The federal court also can
enforce greater simplicity and drecness in the trial of
a case. We hope Judge Winston's discussion will do
something to bring the whole question in Montana to
a head The legislature will meet soon. But we do
not expect any relief from that source There are too
many lawyers in the legislature to expect any smpli-
fication Of the judiciary practices.
