is strong evidence that the old ways no longer Will be
tolerated and that improvements are being made
The fault still with the system and the organiza-

and change in administrations at the top does no
good if down the line to the lowliest employe the

The duty Of the senate committee is to show up

Pronaranda. in Education

The National Education Association, an organl2a-
ton Of teachers has moved to keep propaganda out Of
the public schools.
resolution adopted unanimously at the society
Atlanta convention declares the schooiroon is not
the proper theater for religious, political or personal
propaganda" and that the teacher should not permit
his educational work to be used for partisan politics.
personal gain or selfish propaganda of any kind
The resolution was included in code Of ethics
which a committee has been preparing for several
years.
The reference to propaganda no doubt was pro-
NOTED by disclosures by the federal trade commission
Of the extent to which power companies were using
schools to promote their public ownership
Specific reference was not made to power company
activities This is not surprising but it is disappont-
ing
The American Federation OF Teachers in conven-
ton at Chicago vent further.
Direct mention was made of the power trust" and
its efforts ito poison the mind of America toward the
public ownership of utilities especially water power
Employment Of educators by the power interests
was called a betrayal of the teaching profession.
The action of the two groups should do much to
keep the power people and others from using the
schools to promote their own selfish interests

Voice ViezOs

Editor Indianapolis Times-I see
in your July 2 issue that the inmates
Of the Soldiers home at Lafayette
are complaining Of the food given
them. I have been waiting for four
years to hear this from some one,
not wanting to start the subject
alone
My mother went there in June,
1924, and they put her in the hos
pital. She was IS years old then,
and was there only five weeks. She
came home to me almost starved. 1t
was more than four weeks before
she began to build up. I received a
letter every day during that time,
begging me to bring her home.
In the hospital the food was
wheeled in long before they we're up
and put down for them to eat, when
they got ready. 1t consisted Of COT
fee, SKINNED milk for cream, fried
egg and biscuit-all Of which was
cold.
My mother could not each such
food. and when she entered my door
she at once offered up prayer,
thanking Our Maker for deliverance
from such a place. And that was
not all that happened, some too ri
diculous TO believe. But I believe
everything they said.
Yet they hold their pension
checks. I am so glad that it has
come to light, and pray that our good
Governor will make one thorough in
vestigation, and put them all out.

The SianneSe Twins

1.-TWO Filipino lads of 81, joined
L together at the base Of their
spines and. therefore, called Siamese
twins, though they never saw Siam,
want to get married, especially since
they have discovered two sisters
willing to take the chance. The
license clerk at Manila objects on
the ground that they are one per-
son and can not have two wives.
But the court says that it is not so.
Holding that they are two persons,
though science dare not cut them
apart
The question is not so one sided
as it might seem at first glance.
Both must not only live together,
but die together.
If one wishes to go to certain
place, what can the other do but
accompany him and if one were to
commit murder, what chance would
the other have Of escaping convic-
ton as at least an accessory?
The original Siamese twins were
married, but not altogether happily
in one case.
Together they lived for sixty-f1ve
years, but when one of them died,
the other only survived six hours,
though in an apparently healthy
condition.
They spent the Later part Of their
lives in one of the Carolinas where
they ran a farm, after being bap-
tiled under the name of Bunker.

Impossible Injunctions

That any Judge in this country could. under
any circumstances, issue an injunction prevent
ing officers Of the law from making arrests for
crime committed before their eyes is unthink-
able
That any sworn officer Of the law could
interpret any court order as Handwriting him
in his duty suggests an over-cautious attitude
toward the court or 4 very uncomplimentary
view of the Judge who issued an order that
might be obscure in its meanings.
Crime by injunction IS an impossibility. The
precedents Of many centuries are against any
such monstrous thought
That courts might intervene to prevent op-
pressive acts Of officials, the misuse Of power
TO interfere with legitimate enterprises or &C.
tivities, is more than possible. There are times
when such Intervention is necessary to protect
the rights Of citizens.
But when there is open and conclusive evl-
dence Of crime the duty Of officers of the law
is plain and clear No Judge would think of
Furnishing an officer for performing his plain
duty. He might be righteousy indignant if
he discovered that he had been imposed upon
and led to issue an order that had for its secret
purpose the terrifying of officers or binding OF
their hands while illegal acts were being per
formed.
It should not he necessary to even quallty
iniunctions with the terms legal and Claw
full in describing the enterprises to be pro-
tected by iniunctions against officials.
1t should be assumed that the enterprises TO
he nyotected are legal and within the law,
otherwise they could have no standing IN
court of equity. The first rule is that those WHO
plead in courts of equity must come with clean
hands and that those who have something con
cealed within their palms or up their sleeves
have no standing in any such courts
As never before, il is necessary that there
be respect for courts and for the orders OF
courts. It is necessary that the citizenship obey
such orders 1t is more necessary that it be-
feve that the courts are citadels of even
handed Justice. always ready to prevent IN
Justice. always ready to punish crime, always
ready to give TO every person his rights and
at the same time to punish crime.
There is respect for court" that might
even be contemptuous. That is a respect for
court order which interprets it as protecting
crime. For there can never be such an inJunc-
ton
If courts are tricked into issuance OF an
order which has for an Interior and hidden
purpose the violation of any law, the highest
respect thai can be paid to courts by officials
TO whom it is directed is vigorous enforce
ment of the law. To interpret any order other
wise is to become contemptuous of courts

Of All Places

A party of educators is starting abroad to in
vestigate new and unusual prison reforms.
The destination of this party will be a surprise to
most readers because it is soviet Russia.
American penologists consider Russian prisons in
some respects far superior to those Of the United States
Reforms that have attracted worldwide attention
have been instituted by that country
There is popular nlisconception here of Russian
prisons based on stories of the Siberian mines recent
ly much exploited in the movies.
Russia has its black chapter of prison history but
so have We The use of prisoners in the coal mines
and the prison farms of the south is not entirely
stamped out and stories of horrible cruetes that
come from that section are not all exaggeration by
any
Prison reform still is needed, and probably will al
ways be needed If Russia has anything to teach
we should be ready to learn.
London dress reformers urge that men discontinue
wearing trousers. That's placing quite responsibility

We criticise the mergers unjustly,

much about the economic side Of

political.

it added the extraordinary provision
that mo person within said colony
