"Flag of the free heart's hope and

By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in
Heaven.
Forever, float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be

With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming
o'er us."

A SERIOUS CRIME
Indictment has been returned again
st one Col. Marcellys Thompson by a
federal jury on a charge of conspiracy
to ship arms for use in the rebellion
in Ireland. Others have been recent
ly indicted also for other attempted
smuggling of machine guns to the Sinn
Fein. Thompson is a graduate of
West Point and has an army record
covering many years and served in the
overseas wax.
The crime for which the indictment
rests is violation of neutrality laws.
Such act committed might easily lead
nations into war.
The purpose was to gain a few dol
lars though the result was the shed
ding of human blood.
The act was preconceived, insidious
and deliberate the weapons of war
were hidden in the hold of the ship in
tended to clandestinely land them in
the hands of the leaders of rebellion.
Their use was to be directed against
law and order. There would be de
struction of property, the taking of
human life and general suffering and
degradation.
Thompson knew all of these results
would come. He was trained at gov
ernment expense. His first duty was
loyalty. He was entrusted with the
lives of others under his leadership,
and yet he would sell the honor and
trust of his government for a few
paltry dollars. The story of Benedict
Arnold is revived in this act. The act
demands the severest punishment for
its perpetrator Hard labor behind
prison bars, loss of prestige and dis
grace has been the doom of others
whose guilt has been less flagrant.
His should be the same lot for this
insurgent against his country's laws
and trifler with its honor.
the coal industry through government
investigation and to end the srtike
NOW.
This action of the churches is sens
ible, timely, virile and above all en
couraging. The government through
its president the chief executive of the
nation and the commander-in-chief! of
her entiif land and naval power, can
offer no religious excuse for treating
this appeal lightly. She has the au
thority, she has the power to adjust
the differences and to send her work
ers back into the mines under fair
conditions of wages and work. To ig
nore or deny her duty to her citizensin
this great industrial-social matter, the
government, through her chief execu- !
tive, must acknowledge herself weak
and improvident.
If a certain news sheet will continue
to knock the city hall site, the chance
for increased growth in popular favor
will no doubt accrue to the selected
location.
UNCERTAINTY
And it's really amusing how very
seriously some folks tried to take it
and how religiously most everybody
thought he took it And that which
lots of folks thought they had cinched
They didn't have at all in the school
election.
SCHOOL ELECTION
Church Couraae And Progress
The Federal Council of Church com
posed of representative organizations
of Protestants, catholics, and Jews
has appealed to President Harding to
take steps to end the present coal
strike before it inflicts suffering upon
the women and children in the mining
regions sintering amounting to a na
tional calamity.
The Council appeals to the Chief
Executive to call a national coal con
ference; to get together the facts of
Monday's school election vote was
the largest ever polled in the history
of this city. The total number of
ballots cast was 1008, E. T. Beverlin
receiving a majority of 77. This tre
mendous vote was primarily the re
sult of official arrogance which has
held swayin school affairs in this
district for several years. A move
ment to obtain a new deal was started
last year by the election of Dr. C. H.
Meissner, independent of official in
heritance, director. According to re
ports, however, his efforts during the
,year past were subjected to the steam
; roller process commonly employed
and his friends were determined to
make further changes in the board.
A debt of the district increased to
$125,240.56 during the year just closed
had its bearing on the situation also.
Treating the election as a religious
matter had an influence also in lining
up to a marked degree Protestant and
Catholic sympathizers on opposite
sides, Beverlin being supported gener;
ally by the former, with whom were'
numbered the Orangemen., and Hedg
es by the latter and the militant school
machine. The "Morning Corkscrew,"
which has basked in the light of the
board's official favor for these many
years, no doubt contributed most to
Mr. Hedges' defeat by its ardent sup
port of him.
, Mr. Beverlin comes to his task un
fettered by tradition and aided by an
expressed determination to permit
neither clique nor faction, likes nor
dislikes to influence him. He faces a
splendid opportunity for service.
The cost of the s chools should be
reduced to a minimum and their prac
tical efficiency in creased.. The offi
cial headquarters should be removed
from the Enterprise to the high school
office, where it belongs. Cut off this
rent for the "directors'" room and
meet in the superintendent's office
as the first step in retrenchment
Citizens and taxpayers desire the
liberal support of and the best schools j
obtainable and will continue to do !
their part in the progress of education.

PARENTS AS EDUCATORS
By .Mrs. Lydia Lion Roberts
Two boys went up to a house and
sat down on the steps, shuffling their
muddy feet and dragging a heavy cart
back and forth on the path. It was
not their house nor even their own
neighborhood, yet they had taken
noisy possession. Presently a man
opened the door, watched them
quietly a moment and then said pleas
antly, "How do you do? Won't you
come in?"
The boys looked up in abashed sur
prise, sheepishly got up .and hurried
away without a word. The man smiled
and closed the door.
The man could have shouted, scold
ed, threatened or abused the trespass
ers with doubtles unpleasant results
before the boys went away. Because
he was pleasant and tactful the an
noyance ceased at once and the in
cident was closed.
We admire diplomacy; we sigh
when we meet untactful perosns Who
rub us the wrong way. A person may
be good and yet lack the soothing
balm of tactfulness. We realize! this
between older people but 1 wonder
why we do not praticce it more with
children? Too often we are careless
and blunt, hurting sensitive little feel
ings and often making it twice as
hard for children to be good and kind
because we are so untactful.
On a pretty suburban street there
were ten boys who played iogether,
and probemls of property rights toften
came up. Every time a mother ap
proached the boys in a friendly, rea
sonable spirit, the boys responded, and
there was no trouble. "One day a
mother looked out of the window to
see two boys ifghting furiously over
her smooth back lawn, while an ad
miirng crowd of playmates gathered
near. She thought a minute and then
went out and stepped up to the an
tagonists, and said goodnaturedly, "I
don't like to have my pretty lawn torn
up, so would you boys please go over
to the vacant lot across the street to
finish your fight? You see,. this is my
land and I can't have you fighting
here, but there is plenty f room over
there."
,
The boys stopped a minute, looked
at each other, then each slowly grinn
ed, gave her a cheery, "Sure!" and the
whole crowd moved amiably up the
street without finishing the fight.
Children do not like to be talked
over as if they had no ears, and they
are hurt and antagonized when their
likes and dislikes are laughed at or
their mistakes ridiculed.
A little girl, whose family had in
dulged in a hearty laugh because in
dressing herself she had put her un
derwear on over her stockings instead
of underneath, said reproachfuWy to
her mother, "I don't like you to laugh
it makes me feel so mean at my
self!" We would not dare treat our friends
in such a manner, for we would soon
be friendless. Then why treat little
children taht way when we need to be
friends with them if we are going, to
teach or guide or help them? The
friendshipjof little children is one of
the sweetest, most precious gifts
with which life can bless us, and unto
the tactful shall it be given.
Ada Sherman attended the firemans
picnic in Portland last week.

companied by Lelia Shaffer and Clara
Courter. The girls stayed there and
