Kick If You Don't Get Your Tribune IN THE UNION ALNNOD ISIYVNDS 3HL NI IN THE SQUAREST STATE DWARFING OUR HEROES The superintendent of an eastern public school excuses the omission of many revolutionary heroes in a high school American history text book on the ground that the pupils have been “fed up” on such matters in the lower grades. It is a signifi- cant fact, however, that while no room was found in the book for the names of American characters in events in the revolution, there was plenty of space for their British op- ponents and what they did. The citizens whose children are attend- ing the school in question have be- gun a determined effort to eliminate that book from curriculum and the board of education has called a public hearing on the subj t is taking place in the school referred to is significant of a move- ment throughout the country to ex- punge from our school history text verything oring of propa- ganda, whether it has to do with domestic or international polities. A clever writer can make his point through insinuations and the gener- ous use of quotations from other au- thors without making any actual misstatements himself. That is the sort of insidious propaganda that must be guarded against, if our schools are to perform their full function of inculcating patriotism into our children. In many state Teady, the author eritical analysis of with a view of mz form to a standar - canism. Other communities are tak ing an interest in the matter, and extending the protest aga the sort of histories that some publish- ers are offering to school author- ities, and and citles al- es are making a thool hi of ptre Ame: —— THE THING REVERSED Probably no better indication of restored prosperity can cited than the request of Secretary Hoo- ver that “all government agencies he instructed to hold their bhilding activities o a minimlm for the next few months to avoid compeition with private consruction now utilizing all labor and transportation facilities to the fullest extent.” Mr. Hoover argues that the government could be of greater by obstaining ervice to the nation from adding further to the load alread. arried by the construction than by entering the field when it could ardly aid an employment situation w approaching a problem of labor sin m ection ae It was but two years ago that the cry went up for the government to appropriate millions upan millions of dollars for public works and begin construction immediately in order that some relief might be given to unemployment. And now the gov- ernment is asked to lay off in order that private industries nay find some relief from labor shortage. In 1920 the taxpayers were to be sifted in order that the unemployed might buy bread with federal wages. Tod tories, farms, railroads and mines are irritated by the thought of the government being a competitor for the 1; sor supply They don’t want the government in business, even business of its own. It looks like a very splendid com- mentary on two years business man- agement on the part of the govern- ment. = Ks CAN'T TRUST THEM The wo never know likely, unles it may be brought out in a subsequent proceedings, just what Mr. Mitchell told Mis.

The British interest ment of $69,000,000, due on June 15, 1 been counted on as a mate- rial aid in offsetting the expected | deficit, but it now appetrs that the | payment to be made in Liberty | bonds ins d of cash, Of course of the ational debt by that amou is a very agreeable transaction, but the cash will not be available for present use. A day or two after the receipt of news it was announced that the treasury had discovered other sources of unex- pected revenue that would probably more than compensate for the di- version of the British payment, and hopes are still high that a deficit will be avoided. ———<—__—— BACK TO FIRST PRINCIPLES After a year of being bossed at |the home and downtown too the men jof Des Lacs. North Dakota, have Ibanished the petticoat rule they have had but have not been enjoy- ing. It is the situation in many other municipalities, where the nov- elty of a complete feminine admin- istration was tried. There is no case in the country where the experiment proved suc- cessful. Women as individual offi- cers have made many remarkable records, equal to anything men have accomplished; but when the entire works is given over to them, some- how, it does not thrive. The reason that a great many women accept- ing public office have not been brought up to business and the yo- fessions. eir interests are still in the home where they know they are successful and public office is not only foreign to their taste but the drvdgery grows repulsive and they return to houseneeping with pleas- ure. WANTS THE OLD RAIL BACK Governor Smith of New York perfectly frank when he says that, what a whole lot of people want in his state is “to get a foot on the old rail and blow off some froth. We don’t but there are not enough of them to bring a return of the old rail against the wishes of millions who desire to keep the rail in its present banish- ment. The trouble with New York's gov- ernor and his Tammany supporters is that they want to repeal or mod- a federal constitutional amend by enacting a statute by the York legislature, and they ju quite make it work r on the n fleets arrive and depart and enormous sums are to be made out of handling the foreign liquors, no one doubts there is a strong senti- ment for the money there is in it. Stronger than for the liquor itself. Some day somebody will tum the American navy loose on the rum fleet and it will vanish from the sea, and there will be no fleet to take its place. entirely too risk: —- THE DRY TENDENCY If there is any lingering hope in the camp of those who would make the country wet or semi-wet, that prohibition sentiment is waning and that there will come a time when wine and beer may be secured with- out consulting a bootlegger. all such may as well abandon their visions. That day will never come. Instead of relaxing, the inclina- tion is the other way. preparing to hit the booze business harder than ever. Here is the latest record: Pennsylvania has passed an enforcement law. Okla- homa has made it a felony to own a still. Bills making it murder to sell or give away liquor causing death are receiving favorable con sideration in various states. Ohio has just passed two drastic bills to aid prohibition enforcement, diana has also enacted additic legislation as has Colorado, Illinois is considering a law to make bootleg- ging punishable by from 1 to 14 vears’ imprisonment. Nebraska and Missouri are also favoring new pro- hibition legislation. There may be difficulties in the After that it will be way of strict enforcement. but they | will disappear in time. Smuggling mav hold out for a still loncer pe- riod than authorities now believe. but eventually it will be reduced to t negligible auantitv. The country is so much better off without } liquor that the peonle have observed it. That hat is would be still better off without the cuantity that gets in in an illegal manner. the people alxo know, and it will be the peonle back ing public enforcement that will win a pract dry coun- uch an unenviable light for a of his social and financial po- w of E.
