Malcolm, mspcetor-geaeral m Oregon, Aneient aad Accepted Seottiah Rite, is out this week with aaocher statement pretending that there ia no religious animta back of the school monopc ly tall. Whom does be deceive by this kind of talk; certainly not his own work ers, who, for example approached the principal of an Adventist school in this city ani sought to show him that he should be willing to see his own parochial school destroyed in order to smite the common enemy— the Catholic school. Toward the end of his statement Malcolm descends from the realm cf assertion to argument and bases his demand for the bill on the ground that the census of 1920 disclosed 4,931,905 illiterates in the United States. But are these illiterates in Oregon ? Men and women average SI per hour selling hosiery, four pairs guar anteed wear four months or new hosiery free. We pay 30'1 commis- Mon.

Reasons for Voting “No” on School Bill THE SCHOOL MONOPOLY BILL IS— Contrary to reason, because it is founded on the absurdity that schools teaching the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments, morality and Christianity along with history, geography, gram mar and mathematics, are a menace to the welfare of the people. Hostile to religious freedom, because it de nies the right of citizens to exercise what they consider a right of conscience to send their chil dren to religious schools. Impractical because abolition cf private Mboote would swamp toe public schools, and cause hopeless confusion which would handicap the education of children for years to eome. Certain to increase taxes a million dollars a year, because supporters of religious and private schools would stop paying for the education of thousands of children in addition to paying regular sehrol taxes. Un-American, because we have always rec ognized the right of private schools to exist. Unconstitutional in that it denies the right of the citizen to give his child religious and moral training even though his conscience makes him regard it as a duty to God. An aid to bolshevism because it is in line with one of the first steps taken by the Russian Soviet government which was the first government to abolish priiate schools. Tyrannical, because it robe the parents of the right to direct the education of their own children and authorizes the state to take people’s children and give them a ncn-religimis education against the wishes of the father and mother who have paramount right Destructive of orphan asvlums conducted by religions and fraternal societies, as these homes maintain elementary schools. Monopolist ie in that it would destroy all freedom in education which is the spur of prog ress. and it is obsolete like the old Spartan and iSwisvian systems that assumed the child to be long to the state. This is contrary to the Ameri can principle that the state derives its just powers from the people, not the people from the state. A repudistion of Washington, Jefferson and other founders of the republic who abolished the laws restricting the freedom of education and established the present system which prevails in every state of the union. HypocriticaL because the promoters pretend to be defending the public schools, which are not attacked, when in reality they are the aggressors and are trying to destroy religious and private schools to further their own fanatical ends. A travesty on American liberty, because it would degrade the flag below that of the British flag, as they have freedom of education in Canada which we could not have in Oregon, where the banner of the Stars and Stripes would be forced to wave over tyranny and persecution for con science’s sake in the field of education. A blow in the face of world etatesmamrfiip, for the supreme council in Paris compelled Turkey and Bulgaria to adopt as the fundamental law of the land articles providing that religious minori ties should have their own schools where their own religion could be taught. Christians would be. better off in Turkey than in Oregon under this unjust amendment. An attempt to turn backward the dial of progress, for while all the world would be ac cepting the American principle of freedom- of education, the State of Oregon would turn her back to the sun and repudiate that sacred prin ciple. Destructive of Equality of Cltisenehip, by giving to some people the right to choose a secular education for their children and denying to their neighbors the right to choose a religious education for their children. Both of these rights rest upon the same principle. A violation of human rights, guaranteed in the 14th federal amendment, because the business of conducting a private echo! is a lawful and honorable one, and the supreme court han decided that any lawful business chosen by a citizen as his calling may be regulated, but cannot be da rtre ved by the state. Injurious to Oregon, because thousands will leave Oregon as our forefathers left Europe in search of religious freedom, and other thousands will avoid a state where freedom to practise ikiigious schools have nc more right to compel you to send your children to non-religious schools than the friends of religious schools have to force you to send your children to religious schools. Despotic in astore, because, as the Presby terian ministers point out, “it ia based on the philosophy of autocracy that the child belongs primarily to the state; it ia an unjustifiable in vasion of fsmily authority sod threatens ulti mately the guaranties of our American liberty ’’ An insult to our dead heroes, because it is founded on the fallacy that private schools breed treason, a lie that throws a shadow across the graves of all the thousands of graduates of private schools who gladly laid down their lives on the altar of patriotism. Unworthy your support, because it is designed to stir up religious prejudice, encourage bigotry and throw the religious question into politica, and is based upon an appeal to the lowest and meanest instinct in man—religious fanaticism. (lass distinction, because it allows the county superintendents to grant permits for private tutors to wealthy families which they can deny to the poor. their religion according to the dictates of con science is denied. Sophistical, for the slogan, “one flag, one language, one school,” is meant to deceive. Wc here and we want one flag-the glorious Stars and Stripes—the symbol of liberty, but we abhor the black banner of bigotry and religioua perse cution which this tall has in mind. No language but English ia used in any private elementary achool in Oregon. Fallacious, for we have lived together peace fully for 140 years with three school systems— religious, private and public—better than any other nation with only one, and with some 300 denominations. To force parents against their conscience to send children to one school is just as unjust and tyrannical at to force nil denomi nations into one church. A menace to the republic, because the gov ernment could not long survive the destruction of equality of rights upon which principle the Dec laration of Independence and tne federal consti tution are founded. Wrong in principle, because the enemies of You will find in charge exj>erienced wiles- men, trained tn know the needs of your motor and interested and efficient in suit plying them.

NEWSPAPER MORALS The Scribe, Portland It is becoming increasingly evident that the publisners of dailv papers : feel themselves privileged to encroach more and more on the decency of social relations in their queat for money. The merchandise whirh is | served up in the news columns of our papers at times is of a quality which should be discussed with the ' editor. It is entirely possible that the editor reads his own paper, although lapses in that direction are pardonable, but it is unlikely that he reads it aloud in his own home in the presence of his wife and children If he does they must be mnde of , rterner stuff than tjhe subscribers ; who are forced to edit a daily paper ■ before it can be left lying around the house. Thia refers particularly to “special correspondence" concern ing a paternity suit in Indiana. Zola in his moat realistic momenta of guileless nastiness or De Maupassant in his least decent caricature of human life might have competed with the casual news column of today. We hide Candida. Rabelais. M Terre and De Maupassant Why not lock our »elves in a secret closet when we read our daily papers ? Or we might have two editiona, an expurgated one and one that pays. 4 SUR (If Gl RICCO..
