Newspaper Ma- Tork offices, By mail, ovt of year $1.00, By carr Two Governors A the very hour upon which the presses of the state were carrying Gov. Roland H. Hartley's rabid denunci- ation of child welfare work, containing an arraignment of parents and children of the present day, there was transpiring under the shadow of the monument to John Rogers, a living refutation of all that our excitable and caustic governor had to say. Around the e of the only monument ever erected to a governor this com- monwealth, and that because of his devo- tion to the cause of free and equal oppor- tunity for education, there danced 1,000 school children, who had been “educated at the expense of the state.” These “pampered and petted” children marched from their five respective and individual schools to Capitol park in an orderly manner, taking only the minimum of time allowed, arrived at the park promptly on the appointed hour, started their festivities to the shrill of a whistle, and without a break or a pause carried thru a program of an hour and a half, f of that was a credit to their mannerly minds. There was even an absence of the usual shoving, pushing, fighting, squealing bunch of kids that went to school, when you and I were there. For children who had been “robbed of self-reliance and in- dependence they did very well, indeed. And around the edges of the big par! four or five thousand people—mothe and fathers who don’t care or pay atten- tion to children, according to Governor Hartley—gathered to applaud and watch the trained antics of mass play. That query of the governor’s, “What is the matter with our children today?” will live to smite him in the face, and will last longer than “What's the matter with Kan- sas?” The answer is the same, “There isn’t anything the matter with our chil- dren today!” Governor Hartley probably feels that such an exhibition as staged in Capitol park, in which the school teachers, Par- ent-Teacher associations and welfare so- cieties took a great interest, is a waste of public funds, but since questions are in the governor's mind, here is one he might answer himself, “Is.there no God but Mammen?” If you want the answer, go down to Capitol park and read the inscription on the monument erected to the “Author of the Barefoot Schoolboy Act.” It reads: “IT would make it impossible for the covetous and ambitious to utterly impov- erish the poor. The rich can take care of themselves.” John Rogers, by his authorship of the “Barefoot Schoolboy Act,” insured a fair education to every child in the state. To his memory was erected a monument which will never be torn down, —OLYMPIA NEWS. Culbertson Is Out HOSE citizens who like to pay high prices for sugar will be pleased to learn that William S.

He is a repub- | lican, from Kansas, where the sugar ‘in- terests do not seem to exert much influ- ence, He joined with others on the com- mission to make a one-vote majority in favor of reducing the tariff on sugar and so to bring the price down, That was nearly a year ago. The commission's rec- ommendation has. been in President Cool- idge’s hands ever since. No action has | been taken, But there have been reports and ru- mors continually about Mr, Culbertson. He was to be appointed ambassador to Mexico, he was to have an important South American post, he was to receive this honor and that. Thru it all it was clear that somebody was determined that he should not continue to be a member of the tariff commission. Now he is out, Will sugar soar? Calvin Contrary A! THEY'VE got one on Mr, Calvin Coolidge, now, and if the department of justice doesn't go after him with the same patriotic ardor with which it has tried to “get” Senator Wheeler it is simply no good. The United States’ Flag association charges that when Calvin helped open the baseball season in Washington the flag about his box was draped “contrary to accepted standard Simply, the flag wasn’t unfurled, with the stars to the observer's left. Drat him! Calvin wasn’t paying any attention to the flag. He was thinking on how he’d look on the movie screen when he tossed out the first ball. That's what! What’s the sense in chasing a Karolyi into Canada, with the president of the United States treating Old Glory with con- tumely, right in Washington? The Awful Comparison NSIDER the figures of the National Bureau of Casualty and Security Un- derwriters : Automobile fatalities in 1924—19,000. Injuries to persons—450,000, We were in the world war about two and one-half years. On the basis of 1924 the auto killings for two and one-half years would be 47,500 and the injured 1,125,000, In one year more, at the present rate, automobiles will have killed and wounded many more Americans than were victims of the world war.
