Wise Planning
School Officials Do a Good Job

superintendent of Schools Frank W. Baou the Board
Of Education have done good job in working out plans
under which the jobs of Washington school teachers will be
preserved despite the reduced appropriations for the coming
year.
BY of rigid economies in other directions the board
Is able to that teacher in good standing will be
dismissed.
It is unfortunate that the teaching load Of the
teachers and officials will have to be increased but that is
better than allowing the reduced appropriations to deprive
children of necessary instructions.
The Board Of Education asking the Director of the
Budget to transfer small from fund to another in
order carry out its plans recommended by Dr. Baou
Director Douglas should readily comply with that request
he will realize of course that the school officials trying
to do their best by the school system and that they

Prohibitions Worst Beating
Dry Iowa Goes Wet

The cause of repeal substantial victory when Iowa
went wet by three to two majority.
Connecticut and New Hampshire also climbed the band
wagon as expected But Iowa in doubt and the drys
worked overtime to hold in the prohibition column
The result in view Of the former strength of prohibition
there was the worst beating that the friends Of the Eighteenth
Amendment have taken to date
This makes total of IA States the roll of honor
California and West Virginia both vote today.
That should make the repeal total 49, close half
the States needed.
But the real test will July 49, when Alabama and
Arkansas cast their ballots
AS everyone knows repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment
will supply additional which should make any
additions to the income tax unnecessary which
should bring about reduction in the present oppressive
schedules.
Comparatively few Aabamans and fewer Arkansans pay
any income tax whatever
their States vote to stav in the drv column therefore
nobody need be surprised
They let New York and other States which pay the
great bulk OF the tax continue to gger under the load

Daughter at Shiloh
-Bu EdlUin C.. Hill

The President of the
United States has conceived
a vast scheme as the basis of
regaining prosperity. That
scheme is to take a tremen-
dous area of the Southeast,
covering $4,000 square
miles in 10 States, for a dar-
ing experiment on reforesta-
tion, flood control, the navi-
CATION of rivers and power

With Muscle Shoals. on the
Tennessee River, as the start
ing point, he has launched a
plan to save old forests and
build new; to make new, rich
farmlands from swamps; to
create new villages and
towns, and thousands Of
miles of road; to bring into
being thousands Of CONNER
cial enterprises and hum
dreds of thousands Of farms.
It is the most ambitious and
daring scheme that has been
offered to the people by a
new President.

The Generals Daughter

A little startled, I turned
and made out a dim, wrath
like figure under the ruin
Of what had once been a
great tree, and when l
came near I saw that it
was a girl standing there, a
very beautiful and charming
girl who bore great name.
She had come down from
the North with US and l
had walked about the battle
fields with her in the after
noon. When I stood beside
her she went on to speak
in a low voice, almost as if
she were under a spell. She
said:
"Would you mind standing
here vith me a little While
under this tree? My grand
father stood here for hours o"
such night az this. The Con-
federates had pushed his army
back almost to the riVeT. The
other part Of his army. Which
had failed to arrive that day,
uOos sOmewhere off OUer there
across the riUer, GwGy off some
Dhere. He could not knoW.
But if it didn't come up that
night his army UOuld be driven
into the river on the morroW.
And for hours and hours he
stood under this Uery tree, all
alone, smoking his cigar, speak
ing to no man. And finally,
Uery late in the night, he knew
that the army w0s saUcd."
And so Nellie Grant and
the young newspaper re-
porter stood there, side by
side, under the wreck of the
great old tree which had
sheltered Ulysses S. Grant,
on that night of April 6,
1862. I know that pictures
formed and sounds arose in
the night-sounds that had
not echoed in that lonely and
tragic countryside in a life
time. Across the Tennessee |
strained my eyes, searching
for. something - something,
And presently, after what
may have been a long time
or only little while, arose
the low thunder of an ad-
vancing army. I felt the
presence across the river Of a
great host-Buell's army Of
$4,000 coming in the nick Of
time, to save the day for the
silent Grant, smoking his
cigar under that very tree.
Then we went hand in
hand down the river bank to
the steamboat, where there
was nothing but light and
laughter and living men.

The Reporter

The Governor Of the State
was in the party, and Sena-
tor Beveridge and various
Congressman and State nota-
bles. There was a good
deal of speechmaking after
we went ashore from the
steamboat which had brought
us up the Tennessee from
Danville, and when the
speechmaking was over I
looked for some means to
send the story to my paper.
There was no telegraph
office for miles around, and
the only telephone was in
the one general store of the
scattering village in the
pine scrub. I managed to
telephone the story, and
when I had finished my
work I walked back past old
Shiloh Church and in the
gathering dusk took the
road toward the river.
By the time I had trudged
the two miles in the silent,
lonely forest, a luminous
darkness had fallen over
the Tennessee and its banks.
Just ahead was the steam
boat, with it's hospitable
lights. AS I started down
the slope to the river edge,
a voice called softly from
the 7eeper shadows.

Al ways ELSIE ROBINSON
they've kept within the law
and produce the record as
proof.
And their equally indignant
friends and neighbors produce
even stronger proof. They point
to the thousands given to
charity; to countless kindly
services to the unfortunate;
to shining years spent as good
neighbors, devoted husbands,
loving friends.
Should They Be Punished?
Why should such men-such
truly good men-be publicly
shamed and punished now?
What have they done to de-
serve this?
They, personally, may have
done nothing to deserve this.
BUT THE SYSTEM BY
WHICH THEY LIVED HAS
DONE PLENTY!
That complicated System Of
High Finance-with the big
profits for the Big Fellows and
the leavings for the Little Eel

viciouSness now; but we didn't
always see its viciousneSs. In
fact, we thought it was a mighty
fine System. We pointed to it
with pride.

IN FACT-AND WE MIGHT AS

ALL HAVE DONE EXACTLY
AS THE BIG FELLOWS DID
IF WE'D HAD THEIR CHANCE.
But we didn't have their

Wonderful Picture

The Tennessee goes gliding
along into Moccasin Bend
at Chattanooga, h hastens
past the frowning ramparts
Of Lookout Mountain, turns
toward Georgia but changes
its mind, and flows on
through the low, rolling
hills into Alabama. There
it changes its mind again,
turns almost to the right
about and rushes ack
through Tennessee, as if in
regret that ever it could
have dreamed of leaving
