oiirtJKDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, M922. THE : OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, POKTLAJNli, uniiiiuw. BISHOPS APPEAL BY PRAYERS FOR STRIKE SOLUTION . Prayers for the speedy settlement of iifferences between. - striking railroad shop crafts employes and railroad ex ecutives at a conference being held in Chicago, were said at The Auditorium t the : conclusion of the day's joint session . of the house of bishops and house of deputies. Just .before adjournment Courtenay Barber of Chicago, a leader in- the j church and agency manager f the Ksiuitable Life Assurance society of Chicago, introduced a resolution call ing the house to "earnest prayer at 10 j a. utSaturday to invoke the God of love peace for his His blessing and guidance upon the deliberations of railway executives and their former employes assembled in conference and seeking mediation and settlement of the railway strike." BESOLCTIOX A.PPI-AI DED The storm of applause which fol- lowed the raading of the resolution In dicated its popularity. One of the delegates arbse. however," and said it was unlawful to pass any such resolu tion in the joint session of the house ot bishops and house of deputies be cause they had assembled for one pur pose tjo consider the program of the church for the next three years. The Rt. Rev. Benjamin Brewster, D. blfop of Maine, was on his feet in an instant and moved that the rules be suspended for consideration of the prayer resolution. The vote was unani mous. The Kev. Krnest M. Stires, pastor of St. Thomas church. New York city, then suggested that the prayers might be for naught if said at 10 o'clock Portland time, as the conference would already be -under way in Chicago by that hour. He suggested that the prayers be said immediately one for general industrial peace and the other " for the conference. FRAY.XRS AKE SAID Ther houses passed the motion unani ' mously calling for the immediate prayers, after which the delegates rose while: the Rev. James K. Freeman of Washington, P. C., chairman of the joint session, prayed. While the two houses were in session a cablegram was received from Archi mandrite Adam Philippdvsky, president of thje Carpatho Russian church," ei te'nding greetings, to the Episcopal church. LIVELY DISCUSSIONS (Continued From PB One) go into executive session to consider the report. In answer to Bishop Johnson. Bishop JJoyd said : "There is but one feeling in the diocese of Eastern Oregon for Bishop Paddock. Everybody loves him. Everybody stands by him. Every body deploses the breaking down of his health. All would like to have him come back. I don't care to speak in executive council about this matter. I am willing to let the world hear what I have to say." GREATLY MISUNDERSTOOD i " The RC Rev. William Ford Nichols, ' bishop of California, was the next man the chair recognized, although several clamored for the floor. After telling of his intimate acquaintance with Bishop Paddock he said : "My own impression is that he has been a very muck misunderstood man. After la boring hard in Eastern centers he was transferred to a field with no center, where he attempted to adjust himself to conditions. He had a very high sense of his Episcopal duties. He has been misunderstood and criticised for Dot being conventional, but let us in the most warm-hearted way recognise that vision that was In his heart." The public were cut off from hear ing further debate when the chair or dered all spectators banished . from the room for an executive session. DIVORCE IS HIT HARD The proposed change in the marriage law. as introduced by the Rt. Rev. Charles H. Brent, bishop of New York, would make It unlawful for any meifvber of the church to marry any divorced person. t The new paragraph reads: "Neither shall any member of this church marry any other person who has been or is the husband or wife of another then living from whom he or she has been divorced for any cause arising after marriage." . Present church laws prohibit rectors from marrying divorced people. If the new law is adopted it will be unlawful for divorced Episcopalians to 'be mar ried by a clergyman of any other de nomination, and also for a single Epis copalian to marry a divorced person, provided the former mate of the di vorced person is still living. ' After much debate the proposed change was referred to the committee on canon. ' The proposed change tf adopted would not alter the present church law, which excepts the innocent party. ! MORE HEATED DISCISSION Another heated discussion arose when an attempt was made to have the bishops consider the report of the c-ojmr.ilttee on relation to other churches at 11 o'clock Monday morn ing. By an overwhelming majority the bishops favored a motion making the revision of tha, prayer book the most important business of the con vention, and decided not to, consider any other questions until prayer-book revision had been disposed of. Follow ing this vote it was freely predicted in the lobby thaj prayer book revision would take up the remaining two v eteks of the convention. Ih th executive session this after noon the bishops also listened to the report of the Rt. Rev. Charles M. Beck with, bishop of Alabama, who has announced that he is going to turn ali his work over to his coadjutor as eobn as he is consecrated. The bishop has decided upon this course because a trial court in his diocese recently ruled in favor of the Rev. Richard Wilkinson of Montgom ery, Ala., whom the bishop cited for trial for allowing a Jewish rabbi to speak in the parish house. The nec tar first announced that the rabbi wteM speak i.n the church, but when the bishop heard of it ehforbade it, according to a report given out this morning. The rector refused to can cel the meeting, it Is said, but trans ferred it from the church to the par- isih bouse. Other action of the bishops during r DANCE TONIGHT !

Portland Scenery Reminds Archbishop Of Jerusalem's Hills Archbishop Panteleimon of Jeru salem is the very soul of courtesy. Dr. A. A. Morrison of Trinity church sept him an invitation to attend the l service Sunday nitjht at which. Bishop Manning is to preach. At 11 a. m. Friday Archbishop Panteleimon drove to Trinity rectory in his full robes, ac companied by his chaplain,"7 to pay his respects to the ra-'tor and to accept the Invitation. He was received by Dr. Morrison and by the Rev. Thomas J. Lacey of Brook lyn, N. Y., who is a guest at the rec tory this week. Archbishop Pantelei nian and Dr. Lacey are old friends. The archbishop made a brief call and spoke through an Interpreter. He expresses nimself as charmed with Portland. "The mountains in the distance re mind me of the hills round about Jeru salem. My heart thrills With love for the great American people," said the archbishop. Replying to a quest. on. he said he is not able to read English, but he has studied the pictures in The Jour nal with great interest and has for warded a copy of Tuesday's Issue to Damiano3. the Patriarch of Jerusalem. A number of women of the parish came In to' greet him and Greek coffee was served after Oriental custom. Archbishop Praises Work of American Women in Church "The women of the Holy Lands are not as far advanced socially as the women of America because of the ter rible oppression under which we have lived and which has given us little chance for progress and education," said His Grace Panteleimon, arch bishop of Neapolis. a General Conven tion guest, whose brief talk was a fea ture of the meeting of the Daughters of the King, a branch of the woman's auxiliary Friday morning. The meeting was held at Trinity parish hall and the archbishop attend ed the meeting clad. In his official robes, resplendent with jewels and em broideries. He was escorted to the hall by Dr. A. A.

In making his observations on the women's work In the church the archbishop declared that he was greatly impressed with the advance ment of the women of America and wnsldered the devotion of the women as one of the sources of the church's great strength and that one of his special interests in attending the con vent! oitti a to study their work. the morning session was the introduc tion of a resolution to create a mis sionary district in Haiti : to make the reconsideration of extending the right of suffrage to suffragan bishops the special order of the day next Monday at 3 o'clock ; to appoint a committee of two bishops to meet with a similar committee from the house of deputies and recommend the place of the 'next General .

Announcement was made today to the Episcopal General Convention that substantial agreement had been reached between the Episcopal church and tfie churches- of the Congregation al communion in the report of the joint commission on the concordant, of which Bishop Vincent of Southern Ohio is chairman and George Zabris- ki of New York is secretary. It was announced, hawever, that the bishop ! of Fon du Lac does not concirr in th The joint commission of bishops, priests and laymen was appointed .by the General Convention in 1919 to con fer with a commission representing Congregational churches, with regard to certain proposals for an approach towards unity, often described as a concordant, which had been drawn up after a series of informal conferences i between members of the two bodies. RECOMMEND ADOPTION The joint commission has made a repon to the General Convention recommending the adoption of a canon, the form of which has been considered and approved by the Congregational commission. This canon would sanc tion the ordination of Congregational ministers by bishops of the Episcopal church under conditions which are de signed to secure substantially the same qualitications, though not the same course of preliminary studies, that are required in the case of ministers in the Episcopal church. The object is to open the way to inter-communlon be tween the ministers so ordained and the ordaining bishops with such con sequences as would naturally ensue. For more than 50 years overtures of various kinds have been made by the Episcopal church towards the vari ous Protestant denominations looking to unity. A great obstacle has been the unwillingness of the non-Episcopal churches to receive such an ordination at the hands of bishops as the Episco pal church requires of her own minis try. Some years ago the subject was approached' in a new way by some pri vate persons, clergymen and laymen, upon the basis that each Congrega tional church was regarded as inde pendent of all others, and under no ec clesiastical authority outside of itself. consequently any minister with his congregation was competent to enter s to such relations as they thought fit with any other -organized denomina tion. It was not proposed that any such congregation should cease to be Congregationalism but that the barrier to inter-communion should be removed by acceptable arrangements for ordina tion. PROCEEDINGS OUTLINED The report contains a short narra tive of the proceedings of the Joint commission, from which it appears that the two commissions have been able to reach a comprehensive agree ment on the subject of unity. The proposed canon provides for the con sent of the standing committee of the diocese to the action of the bishop and the desire of the congregation for the ordination of its minister. The min ister must satisfy the bishop with re gard to his soundness In the Christian faith and the absence of 'any objection on grounds physical, mental, moral or spiritual. He must undertake to cele brate the sacraments of baptism and the holy communion in such a way as to comply with those features which in the Episcopal church are regarded as essential. He must agree to meet with the bishop when Invited, unless unavoidably prevented, for holy com munion and for counsel and coopera tion, which is the foundation of the synodical relation. ANSWERABLE TO BISHOP He Is to hold himself answerable to the bishop In case he be called in question with respect to error of faith or of conduct. Ih such cases of disci pline the procedure shall be similar to that which would apply to a clergyman of the Episcopal cliurcTi. A minister so ordained may officiate in a diocese of the Episcopal church when licensed by the ecclesiastical authority, but he may not become rector of a parish un til he subscribes to the declaration of i conformity to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the Episcopal church which is required of all ministers in the church. PRINCIPLES STATED The proposed canon is accompanied by a statement of principles on which the two commissions found themselves in general agreement. The joint commission says In the re port : "It has Wen suggested that should this church determine by Its General Convention to proceed with this business not many ministers or congregations would avail themselves of such overtures. The question for this church Is what we are willing to do in furtherance of Christian Unity, and not how much other people may be willing to do." As it stands the report reveals a tem per of mind and a mutual understand ing seldom exhibit d by any consider able group of men. WOMEN MAT BE GRANTED CHURCH SERVICE PRIVILEGES Eplscopa.1 women will be allowed to speak from the. lecture or reading desk, in regular services of the church, if a proposed -amendment to canon 25. introduced in the house of deputies this morning, carries the house of deputies ant! house of bishops. If this amendment carries, women will enjoy the same privileges in regu lar church services as men who are not licensed to preach. The proposed amendment does not give the right for women to enter the pulpit of sanc tuary. SIXTT PAROLES ALLOWED Walla Walla, Wash., Sept. .

TON TENSE OVER REPORT I OF SHJNAL BEING (GIVEN By Herbert Weston j (By International News Serrice.) Jackson. Cal.. Sept. 9. A declaration, amazing in its stark unexpectahpy, that science, with an ear glued jto the ground, has received a message from the gold-walled "death tomb" ! of the 47 miners entrapped by firein, the Argonaut mine hre 12 days ago, swept this town like an uncontrolled blase Friday and impregnated new hope in the entire community. j Vague tappings registering Jon the delicate disks of the geophone from a point hundreds of feet through 'muck and solid rock have created 1 a new electrical force of hope that Is spur ring every Slav mucker on the; rescue crew to more frantic efforts tcj tunnel to the tomb. y And these same tappings, the triumph of science, today were hurled into the very face of precedent which de clares that no human can exist for 12 days under the conditions by which the 47 tfre entrapped. j BROWN BOX MYSTERY Every effort has been made: by of ficials to keep these tests a secret. Ten days ago when officials of the United States bureau of mines and the state industrial accident commission arrived at the scene of the1 disaster, little attention was paid to what they brought with them. No one 'noticed the brown leather box which. C. H. Fry, widely known California) engin eer and member of the commission, carried. But twice daily this box, containing science's geophone, capable of hearing minute sounds for more than! a mile under ground, descended the shaft of the neighboring Kennedy mine ithrough which workers are burrowing in an attempt to reach their ill-fated com rades in the Argonaut. ! Then, two days ago, hope that the men were still alive was ostensibly buried. Those on the outside i thought they knew ; it would only be a case of bringing up the bodies. There would be no survivors. No one paid: any at tention to the little brown leather box. But it continued to listen fori word. EXPERT KEEPS VIGIL j Throughout the long dark hburs last night a lone expert, a cold pipe clenched between numbly achlpg teeth, crouched in the muck, water jdripping from the slag above, and completely drenching him, while he sounded the walls In stehascope fashion for one little vibration of hope. ; Again today the geophone was taken Into the depths in an attempt to "get action." Officially, authorities admitted un der pressure that there was:' no ces sation of hope and that "certain Indi cations made it necessary to keep it," "I cannot reveal the result," Fry said. "It is contained only in; a secret report which I am making to ;the com mission." ! MEN MAT TET LIVE I It was reported, however, that there had been certain underground indica tions which, have completely routed the theory that the men are dead. In the meanwhile, down in the front parlor of the town's leading hotel, three Red Cross nurses are bent over sewing machines. Forty-seven wh'te garments in various stages of comple tion lie strewn about the room. They await the coming of the entombed men night clothes or shrouds. ) EIGHT DATS WORK AHEAD FOR RESCUE CREWS AT MINE (By fnited Newt) j At The Argonaut Mines, Jackson, CaL, Sept. 5. It will be eightj days be fore rescue crews working 1ft! the Ken nedy mine break into the Argonaut, where 47 men were trapped 12 days ago by fire. f This estimate, based on figures given out by official resouo committee allows for no accidents,' nor for .any further slowing up of the work. Predictions that the work ; will take two wtAj are being freely made. In the last 24 hours the workers made only 38 feet In the 3600 foot level and 22 feet 'n the 3900-foot level. Conditions in both these rifts are growing worse. In the foHner soft muck now fills the tunnel tc the roof, and in the latter men have encountered dry muck with a layer of soft silt on top. j- During the 70 hours since work started in the 3600 -foot lfvel drift, only 114 feet have been cleared away. There are 239 feet still . to be opened and after that the 75-foot raise must be cut through solid rock. i Fifty rescue workers from outside towns left Friday for their homes. They were told they were no longer needed, and that enough regular miners to car ry on the work are on the ground. Body of Salem Boy Taken from ftiver Salem. Sept. 9.

R. A. BOOTH SPEAKS R. A. Booth of Eugene delivered the principal address of the evening's pro gram, outlining the campaign plan, the present resources of the university, the advantages of location, the value of the school to the city of Salem and the stalte and its value as a moral bul wark generally. "There is no other time for staging this campaign," he declared. "It must be done now for the world must have what Willamette can give only with this bigger and better equipment. Other speakers on the program in cluded Bishop W. O. Shepard, Presi dent E Hickman of Kimball college and Carl Gregg Doney, president of the university. SEPARATE PEACE IS (Continued From Pt One) and fnen who accepted employment since the strike was called. The Union Pacific's agreement with the shop employes' a-ssociation provides for a board of adjustment composed of five representing the employes and five representing the management. This hoard will meet once a month to ortio iiisnutPA. It was agreed that if the board fails to eettle a dispute the matter shall be referred to the United States railroad labor board, whose decision shall be final and binding. RAIL EXECUTIVES MEET A meeting of the railway executives. called by Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio, was held late Friday to consider .the proposed agree ment with the railway employes de partment of the American Federation of Labor. No statement was issued, but it was learned from an auth6ritive source that the plx. found strong sup port. The real object of the meeting, it was said, was to induce roads not represented at the Baltimore confer ence to adopt the plan. It was a final seDaratinc of roada that stand ror peace with the old uifion and roads that will refuse to Yecog.ilze tnem. S. Davies Warfield. president of the association of security holders, was revealed today as the real figure be hind the peace movement. It was he who called Jewell to Baltimore Tor the conference that ended in the tenta tive agreement for niding the strike. Warefield's association Is said to represent approximately $13,000,000 in railroad securities. While he made no statement and conducted his move ments with great secrecy, it was re ported last night that an early settle ment of the strike was deemed neces sary to protect the security holders. PEACE ORDER GIVEN In other words the order went out to restore normal conditions.

The original agreement provided that where disputes arise the grievance should be referred to a commission composed of five representatives of the train serWce orotherhoods and five railroad officials. U'rder the new plan five officials of the shopmen will re place the five train service men. SHOPCRAFTS ASK VACATION OF DRASTIC INJUNCTION Chicago, Sept. 9. (I. X. S.) Attor ney Donald Richberg. on behalf of B. M. Jewell and John Scott, president and secretary of the striking shop crafts' unions, today filed in federal district court a petition to vacate the drastic government restraining or der issued by Judge James D. Wll kerson last week. Th,s petition asked that the Injunc tion be vacated on three grounds. First, on general grounds that the government has not made out a case entitling it to relief. Second, thart the relief 'asked by the government is prohibited by the pro visions of the Clayton act Third, that relief was sought in said injunction and was obtained in said restraining order for ulterior and unlawful purposes on misrepresenta tion and suppression of matters of fact and law, Argument on the petition to vacate the injunction will be made Monday when the hearing will be held to make the sweeping injunction permanent. UNION MEETINGS PERMITTED BY COUNTER INJUNCTION Washington. Sept. 9. (U. P.) A counter Injunction restricting federal authorities of the District of Columbia from breaking up union meetings un less such meetings are in violation of the Daugherty rail strike Injunction, was issued in equity court here today. The court did not pass on the valid ity of the Daugherty injunction specif ically, and stated that the Internation al Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which entered a Pe that the Daugh erty injunction be vacated, could re new its plea any time after Monday. The plea will not be prejudiced by the present order, it was emphatically sta ted. This postpones any decision on the legality of the Daugherty injunction by the Washington court until after the hearing In Chicago Monday, when the federal authorities will attempt to make that permanent. If the injunction is made permanent the workers may reenter their plea against the injunction any time after Monday, under the ruling which was issued by Judge Bailey. ' The counter injunction merely holds local United States marshals to the Daugherty injurictiort until Monday. and prevents them from breaking up local union meetings which union lead ers say had been threatened. Dr. W. T, McElveen Declines to Enter As an Independent The Kev. William T. McElveen is not to be an independent candidate for congress as the nominee of the Duncan-Myers "assembly of 100 elect ors." Last night he called the mem bers of the notification committee on the telephone and told them he had de cided not to accept the nomination. To day he said he "would scratch off a note" to the committee and give them his reasons for declining. Dr. McElveen says that he held a conference with his church leaders yes terday afternoon and evening and that it was the consensus of opinion that he "ought to stay on the job." Besides, he says, it la a serious thing fon a man to change his vocation ; that he has been In the ministry for a long time, has been trained to it and knows noth ing of the job of being congressman other than might come to him through his knowledge. of affairs. Further, he explains, work has been planned in connection with his pastorate which his church leaders contend require his continued effort. The negative decision of Dr. McEl veen leaves McArthur and Watkins In a two handed fight over the seat in congress from the Third district. MRS. WILSON MeBRIDE Dayton, Wash., Sept. 9.

The canon -ia recommended in a report of the-joint commission on deaconesses, of which tha - Rt. Rev. Philip M. Rhinelander, D. D., bishop of Pennsylvania, is chairman. It, marks a departure from established custom in the Episcopal church, about .which there is a wide divergence of view among both clergy and laity. OTHER CHANGES PLANNED Other changes planned p elevate the office of deaconess and give It perma nence, provide for a special' course of training for candidates In scripture, churcht history, doctrine and ministra tion, with an examination before a board of examiners- which. Is' created, and the approval of the' applicant by the standing committee of the diocese before her appointment and ordination. Under the present canon selection of deaconesses rests in the hands of bish ops alone. In providing such elaboration of the office of deaconess, the report specific ally notes that there Is no purpose to suggest the elevation of deaconesses to the priesthood of the church. It says: PURPOSE OUTLINED "The opportunity is before us to de velop a female diaconate along primi tive lines, not to exercise the same Catholic Citizenship . . ARTICLE 13 - Previous articles stated that because of attacks upon the citi zenship of Catholics -due to false concepts, of our attitude on Christian education a definite statement of our REAL principles would aid well disposed Non-Catholics to see for themselves the in- , justice of these criticisms. A Decalogue xr Platform of Catholic, principles on4" education was therefore formulated, the first plank, precept thereof btinf "Let there be universal education,"' so that every child born or reared in the United States MAY AC01HRE ele mentary training; which principle or precept was studied in Articre it. To this our SECOND precepfor principle is almost a necessary corollary. '"LET THERE BE COMPULSORY EDUCATION" so that neither the povertx, nor the ignorance,, nor the indifference of parents can halt our war upon illiterary." That our religious leaders no less than our American citizenship inspire us with this principle is evident from the recent pastoral let ter of the Catholic Archbishop of Oregon; which havirrg been read in every Catholic church, in the Archdiocese, necessarily reflects the private, rnterior sentiments of Catholics and their religious organiza tion; after commending various phases of our American educational system, , THE ARCHBISHOP'S LETTER CONTINUES: "Here also we commend in our public schools their wide sphere of activity. Aided and backed up by compulsory education . laws which different states have enacted, the percentage of illiteracy is rapidly declining. On this subject of compulsory education, let no one deny- that the state has a right to Insist that all its citizens receive elementary training. While the parent has rights over his children that antedate all others, and these include the xight to des ignate thi kind of school the child is to attend, yet should this same parent fail to educate the child, the sUte has the right to pass and enforce laws to attain that end." '' OREGON ALREADY HAS A COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAW, " a summary of which is this: "Every parent. guardian or other per son having control and charge of any child' between the ages of 9. and 14 . . . shall be required to send such child or children to the public schools . . . excepting any child who is being-instructed elsewhere in the branches covered by the public school course," etc. In this law, TWO POINTS should be emphasized: , (4) Children MAY receive their instruction in other thin pubfic schools. ' ; " ". (2) These schools MUST, TEACH THE SAME BRANCHES lis the public schools. In facV the legislature , has clothed school au thorities with investigatory powers over all private educational In stitutions, (See section 406, paragraph I, on page 132 of the 1921 school pamphlet.) What more than this can fairness arid reason demand? ' - ' ' . - THE OBNOXIOUS BILL NOW PENDING . . makes various non-essential and ONE DRASTIC change In the pres ten law, which is amended so that all children obliged by law to attend grade-schools must attend PUBLIC schools. .No matter how precisely private .schools may follow the state curriculum, no mat ter ho.w willing and anxious to give every reasonable proof of their equality to state supported institutions, they are. completely outlawed by the present bill. It has been said that the new school measure would only REGULATE denominational and private schools. But READ THE LAW IN THE VOTERS BOOK issued by the secretary of state, on page 21, and the Intelligent .citizen will wonder how any one able to read could serlously-make such a wild assertion. The law reads: "Provided that In the following cases children shall not be required to attend public schools: (d) Private instruction -Any child who is being taught for a like period of time by a parent or private teacher such subjects is are usually taught in the first "eight years In the public school, but before such child can be taught by a parent, or a private teacher, such parent or private teacher must receive written per mission from the county superintendent and such permission shall not extend longer than the end of the current school year. Such child must report to the county superintendent or . some person designated by him at least once every three months and take an ex-' animation In the work covered," etc. QUESTIONS v (l) By what process of mental deflection can one Interpret the words "a private teacher" to mean "a parochial school" or private institution ANSWER: Only by deceit or self-imposed blindness. ' (2) What is there in the law that would EVEN JUSTIFY a county superintendent to put that interpretation upon it? ANSWER: Absolutely nothing; its whole avowed purpose is 'to EXCLUDE- de nominational .SCHOOLS. ' - (3) Under what conditions would the superintendent be OBLIGED to give a'parent this permissioni ANSWER,, None, it is purely arbitrary with him.. . - . Thereforconly the favored few who could secure permission and who could pay for a private teacher could use this exemption. Even' were 'permission given now and then to send a child to a private school, there WOULD BE NO SUCH SCHOOL to send them. No private institution could continue Just because it might have a pull now and then. ' . . i';''!1-" ! WARNING TO THE PUBLIC , WHEREAS: there already is a Compulsory Education law in Ore gon which forces children to attend some. standardized school up to the eighth grade; and - --. i i , '- - WHEREAS, there are slate laws authorizing school authorities to supervise private schools, :that those standards be 'maintained; and - WHEREAS, parochial schools welcome opportunity to provide th competency and thoroughness of their secular training, but WHEREAS a - bill falsely designated "Compulsory School" law has been placed upon the ballot largely through misrepresentation and deceit; which law aims at the destruction. NOT THE REGULA TION of private schools j which is the .Alpha and Omega of un Americanism (as detailed in article 12), and which would uselessly expend many millions more of taxpayers' money, THEREFORE, it behooves all fair-minded citizens regardless -of creed or religious affiliation to actively oppose this Invasion of their natural, parentaL constitutional rights as citizens, mindful that: THOSE WHO WOULD DICTATE "SCHOOL" TO YOU TODAY WOULD DICTATE RELIGION TO YOU TOMORROW.
