Bo thoroughly was every detail attended to, however, that everything went forward with- out strain or apparent effort. Those who had the great work In charge ! are entitled to the unstinted con- ‘graulations of the entire city. What & magnificent example of | management it was. The march to the top of the hill and the distribu- tion of the military was masterfully executed. The mind or minds that conceived this human setting de- serve the plaudits of an admiring populace, No public function in the city had ever been o capably man- aged. The event will never be forgotten. The parade, the finest that ever took ‘place in this city, was inspiring, The | march to the top of the hill and the evolutions thereon were impressive and awe-inspiring. The exercises there were of a solemnity and dignity unequalled. Equally appeal- ing were the services at the hill on Sunday afternoon. And topping everything, there were two days of ideal weather, like a benediction ‘from heaven, rain holding off until after the final observances yester- day. The city now has a monument ot magniticence at the summit of Wal- nut Hill park which adequately com- ‘memonm the city's participation in the_ World War. Looking at this | stately pile one's thoughts cannot help being impelled by the vagaries of imagination, Buch a shaft, for in- stance, i8 erected “for all time.” One never reads of a memorial monument being dismantled. How long will that dignified column re- main aloft? How many generations -—dozens, hundreds, thousands— will come and go as the stones con- tinue pointing to the sky? An end | eomes to all things, it is written, but | one's imagination simply falters upon sttempting to contemplate the | _years that such a monument will re- | “maln in place. When Napoleon was in Egypt he told his troops to look at the pyramids, where 40 centuries looked down upon them. It may be that 40 centuries will be little in- deed for our Memorial monument.

The Parents and Teachers' asso- ciations soon will begin meeting. We hope they will think it worth while to enter into the school byilding con- troversy. They owe it as®a duty to officials. By far the larger part of the membership is composed of parents. They should realize their power and influence and prepare to use it at a time proper school facilities is being chal- lenged.

In the old days, when we adults were schools kids, there were no audi- torilums in the public schools, and 8180 no such associations. But the | situation has changed, and for the better. Parents for years have been encouraged to take an interest in the schools; and pursuant to such stimulation they have formed Parents and Teachers' assoclations and hold meetings ig houses.

MUD-SLINGING 1f the respective candidates in this campaign need mud guards before it is over it will be no surprise. Can- didate Smith made a valiant effort to shift the mud from coming in his direction last week, followed by Mayor Walker performing a mud- throwing act in the direction of Candidate Hoover. The New York World, eager to purge the parties of dirt, alighted on Mayor Walker with | a ton of bricks and then invited the Evening Post, Sun and Herald- Tribune to do a similar job of cleansing in their party. As we re- | member it, however, it was the World itselt which some six months ago brought out the dope about Candidate Hoover having been abroad more than was good for & presidential candidate. Al Mayor Walker sald was that Candidate Hoover didn't vote in the | United States until 1910, the year that Candidate Smith ran for gov- ernor of New York the first time. There were wild cheers from the gal- lery and a sizling rejoinder from the World, The mud-slinging started early in the proceedings anyway. Who doesn't remember the hullabaloo | started when it was discovered that Hoover, a Quaker, had been married by & priest? Then it was claimed in i all seriousness that Hoover could not | be a candidate or President because | he hadn't been in the country long enough. All of which was a species of mud, though perhaps pot as seri- | ous as some other kinds of mud. | Everything is mud-slinging that | is personal in nature. The only things that ought to count in a po- litical campaign are the issues. WATER POWER AS AN ISSUE| Water power—what a political subject thiw should prove to candi- | dates this year. The power issue m; heard of may involve only Muscl Shoals and Boulder Dam. } Governor Bmith at’ Denver point- edly tackled the subject and left no | doubt as to his stand. Of course, | this could have been. foretold in view of the ten years' battle he has | waged with private power interests in New York State, with the im- mense power resources of the St. | Lawrence river at stake. The gov- ernor boldly advanced hix fdeal of government ownership at Denver, and sald f elected he would act ac- cordingly in connection with Muscle Shoals and Boulder Dam. GIVE HIM A VACATION Having been on almost ever of every political fence, and having been one of the most stalwart de- nouncers in the ranks of the Re- publican party, it is no great wonder, perhaps, that Senator Borah causes | trouble when he begins making | speeches for Herbert Hoover. If we were running the Republican came- paign we would not call on the| Idahoan at all. A man whose early | | speeches contain biting references | about Hoover Letore the latter was dreamed of as a candidate is cer- tain to have his early statements brought to light and compared with what he now says. The trouble with Borah is fhat he cannot be employed to speak for Jany candidate without having some- | thing like this occur. He hus been | entirely too independent in the past not to have walked all over the toes | of almost every official that ever | held sway in Washington.
