ENACTING PLATFORM PLEDGES

President Roosevelt has been in office only three
weeks yet it is doubtful it, among all his White House
predecessors, history reveal single who dem

tiers political Like smooth functoning football team the
cabinet operates while the President the captain

deuged with storm of criticism. The resut-publc
attention and congressional opposition diverted
the latter and focused the former Furthermore in
much delay in passing the economy bill would block
the beer bill thereby subjectng Congress to nationwide
condemnation it became imperative than that
the former be expedited Again. this beer bill coached
in the phraseoogy that used for the plank
In the Democratic platform which meant that the Congress
who opposed it through seeking to add amendments
thereto would by his act be guilty of repudating his
party platform
To the politically unnitiated such factors as these
may purely matter of detail, and as such as
being of minor import but to those familiar with the great
game OF politics it is played in Washington it is
secret that experiences in the handling of just such de-
tails is presidential attribute which dferentiates be-

mated that annual income of $150000000 will be de-
rived from this tax Second that it represents faithful
fufllment of of the major promises made in the
Democratic platform. The American public has been so
often disappointed in the failure political parties to carry
out their prediction pledges that during the Pres

made by the leaders of both parties and contained in the
party Platforms accepted half-heartedy and in
spirit of reservation and doubt By taking the Democratic

American conscience convincing thousands of political
skeptics that party platform panks still have meaning

To the editor of THE SENTINEL.
Dear Sir:
Kindly tell me what has become
OF the old spirit of America indie
pendence of which we have always
been so proud?
In my youth parents would make
every sacrifice to obtain an educa-
ton for their children rather than
have hem educated by public
charity-that is what our present
system of public schools is in plain
English.
Unfortunately it is not only
charity, but it is a forced Charity
where by an unjust and exorbitant
school tax, the poor man frequently
loses his home in order that the
children of the rich and well to do
may receive an elaborate educa-
ton.
An education, most of which is
not only inappropriate for the
majority of the pupils but often
units them for their life work.
The small school which has be-
come questionable (probably be-
cause it curtails the funds the
school authorities can sqander) are
best fitted for the grade school in
country districts, it leaves the chill
dren in their home neighborhood
and their safety, health and morals
are not threatened by the over
crowded school bus.
There is one way by which those
who vote for music, french, chem
istry and frills can have them with
out strangling the life of the Com
munity.
Let those who pay an income tax
pay for each child they have in
grammer school a FAX in proper
ton to their income.
Every child in High School to
pay the same tuition as in a private
school of the same caliber.
Those children who cannot afford
to pay, but whose good standing
in their studies show they are cap
able of proftting by higher edu-
cation would receive scholarships
20 High School and if desirable
college.
Vocational training to be given
in the grammar school to fit all for
a useful life.
Once they can read the knowl-
edge of the ages is open and free to
them when they so desire.
Montgomery might be wise TO
follow the example of Frederick
County, Educational faddists are
expensive.
