Harmony Needed
Now that the school election is over, it is hoped that
back-biting, sniping and other small town stuff cease, har
mony replaces discord, and all factions unite to work for the
best Interests of the schools and of Salem. '
If the authority of the schoof board is to be questioned
and a rumpus raised over the discharge of every teacher
that is let out, the board will be seriously handicapped and
the school administration badly hampered, for there can be
little efficiency where there is no discipline and still less
where there is disloyalty. , ,
n. v,i Knai-ri if elected to administer school affairs,
is held responsible for their welfare and its authority must
be upheld. It employs the superinienaent nu muo ium

grantly wrong, it must sustain his decisions or cripple his
effectiveness. If he is not competent, the board should re
move him, but his efforts "to establish efficiency by demand

The school board has made a good record and deserves
public support: It has in the past year according to the
last report, decreased its current indebtedness from $76,000
to $36,000, a saving of $40,000 without inceased taxation,
with prospects for wiping out the remaining indebtedness
before the school year ends.

Treaty Delays;
The national administration is reported as much con
cerned over the delay of the great powers in ratifying
treaties negotiated at the Washington conference. The four
and five power pacts that were to alter civilization and re
form mankind have not met the speedy acceptance expected,
or desired for campaign purposes. As a matter of fact, none
of the powers except the United States has ratified any of
these treaties, barring China which has approved the nine
power pact.
Japan expects to take up consideration of the four power
Pacific treaty next month. But the same report was sent
out some months ago. It is always next month with Japan
and there is no sign as yet of any warships being scrapped
in the land or the seas of the Mikado. ' .

The trouble about advice is that you
' have to take the risk in following it.
Where the fault is all on one side, the quarrel
soon plays out.
The surest way to get your pay raised is to do
things without being told.
One love escapade is sure to lead to another,
