Not long ago the public at large was shocked
to learn that the schools of the Nation were made
the target of propagandists. In attempt to
influence the minds of students, certain vested
interests had actually supervised the writing of
textbooks The idea, of course, is to mold the
mind of America.
AS stockholder in the Washington Railway &
Electric Company, I was sorry to learn, from
figures gathered by the Federal Trade Commits
sion, that the local street railway company had
Joined in this business. The w. r. & 81 Company
gave $1,000 to the Power Trust Fund.
How much better it would have been had the
w. r. & E. Company used this amount of money
for better purposes. There are many things
that can be done to help, rather than hinder, the
education of children. There is, for instance, the
reduction of car fares for school children Instead
of being concerned in this, the w. r. & E. Com
pany donated $1,000 to the general fund of the
Power Trust. The North American Company
claims to have majority holding in the local
company which, in turn, owns the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company. Money collected from
parents who pay car fare and electric light bills
helped swell this fund.
To this nationwide program the North American
Company contributed the huge of $4,000.
Mr.. Harley P. Wilson, director of this company

and chief proponent of the proposed street car
merger now before Congress, erroneously re-
ported this sum at Congressional Committee
hearing as being $4,000; but what is little
difference of $4,000 to a member of the Power
Trust? Mere chicken feed
Many school children underfed; under
nourished Some are orphans. Poor children, OF
necessity must walk several miles to and from
school each day. A lower car fare would rebound
to their benefit Instead of that, money is thrown
to the Power Trust. {
AS stockhoIder of twenty years standing, am
willing to suffer any loss that may be involved In
reduction of car fares for children; though L
cannot see where the loss, if any, would be great.
A law passed, giving the children of Washington
this boon-reduced car fares-would be beneficial
to the community. Figures from other cities
where reduced car fares for children are in effect
prove that any loss is negligible.
In connection with the attitude of the local
street car line, and the North American Company,
the subjoined speech of the Honorable George
Norris, of Nebraska, is enlightening-as are, also
the names and figures of donors and donations to
the Power Trust. Senator Norris, always a
champion of the people, knows whereof he speaks.
Respectfully,
JOHN J. NOONAN.

FUNERAL OF JOHN PLUTH
HELD TUESDAY MORNING

The funeral of John Pluth took place
Tuesday morning from the Catholic
church, Rev. Father Mihelcic Official
ting. Mr.. Pluth was drowned in the
Eastwood river last Thursday. Crews
had been dragging the river, day and
night, up to Sunday morning when the
body was recovered only a short dis
lance from where the canoe overturn-
ed. At this point there is considerable
of hole in which an eddy had form
ed. It is said that the body was found
at depth of fifty feet. The rapids
were too strong for the hooks to get to
this depth and it was only by chance
and an extra heavy weight that the
body was secured. The funeral was
attended by large number, former
schoolmates of the unfortunate young
man almost filling the church. The
floral offerings were many and beauti-
full. The remains were laid away In
the family lot in the Ely cemetery.
