THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON
OPEN FORUM
Contribution! to ThU Column must bo plainly written on ont
8 Ida of paper only limited to S00 words tn length and algned
with the name ot the writer. Article not meeting these apeclCl
" cations will be rejected.
To the Editor; I have howled
about thla before, but still feel It
obligatory to fllo objections as often
as those on the other aide of the
argument misstate -the facts.
Liisi Saturday's papers stated
that In an addrem before the Mar
ion .county Bchool teachers, Presi
dent Landers of the state normal
school told them: "The modern
tendency U for the home to saddle
more and more responsibility on
the shoulders of the school sys
tem." I do not know Mr. Landers, eo
cannot fairly accuse him of inten
tional misrepresentation; neverthe
less, his statement Is superlatively
inaccurate If you know what I
mean, and I gues you do.
Due consideration of the facts
would have prompted Mr. Landers
to say "The modern tendency Is for
tho school system to demand and
take more and more of the res-ponsibllHU-s
of the home," Instead
of the statement attributed to him.
Just now tho situation Is espec
ially Interesting, and would be fun
ny If it wasn't so serious. A few
years ago some school teachers got
an insight into beaureaucracy and
liked It. The only thing they knew
to apply It to was schools. They
organized, got what they wanted,
and thought they had the world
about fenced in; It looked so easy
to "show up" a lot of dub parents
who apparently didn't have sense
enough to train their children as
every old maid school teacher knew
they should be trained. But, some
how, it hasn't worked out right.
They have made a complete fizzle
of the job they schemed to get and
finally secured, and some of them,
like Mr. Lnnders, now try to duck
the responsibility by shouting: "they
saddled It onto us." And In the
meantime old bnchelor Putnam al
so claims to know all about the
proper training of children. He in
sists that the way to rectify the
whole situation Is to take the
children into the wood-shed and
whale the day-lights out of 'em.
Poor kids! Why maul them around
just becouse they are between two
contending forces through no fault
of their own, uncertainly standing
with reluctant feet where the book
and flivver meet, and being loudly
told to go in both directions at
once! Yes, It would be funny If it
wasn't almost tragic.
Mr. Landers' Job is to train
school teachers. He should not
deceive them and send them forth
with the idea that the homes of
the land ore unfair to them. He
should tell them the truth. He
should say: "We have bit off more
than we can chew, and what we
are now trying to do Is to 'get
from under aa gracefully as we can
and lay the blame to somebody
else."
I believe that moat parents will
agree with me that whenever the
schools get busy on their proper
job, qut out tho frills, occupy them
selves with educating our children
and quit trying to be their foster
parents, we will be more than glad
to resume our God-given responsi
bilities. A. M. CHURCH,
To tho Editor: I've been won
dering for a long time why the
theaters in our fair city are al
ways firing things at one another.
Now wo have a now theater which
has done ' much for the theater
going patrons. It puts on real shows
at a reasonable price. It has put
on the bet In the vaudeville line
with pictures through in. I see that
the council Is going to raise the
deuco with one of tho theaters for
putting up a fine electric sign (in
fact tho best one in town) without
first getting n permit. It Is very
easy to gue-is who is behind this
and It Is nothing but Jealousy on
their part. Let them go to it but
don't lave them run a fair priced
theater out because winter is com
ing and '0 have to save our dimes.
Yours truly,
R. H. -WHITE.

To the Editor: Reading the ap
peals for mercy, In the open forum
reminded me of Math. 24:25 to
25:46: and produced this thought,
of what glorious time those so-called
Fatrick Henry heroes and their
standby's might have If they could
persuade their persecutors to ap
portion to them exclusively,
adequate portion of territory, where
they might enjoy personal freedom
There the male population could
live on Patrick Henry quotations
and butting each other; and the
Nannies could furnish the milk of
human kindness and patrol the bor
dor line to keep persecutors from
entoring and contaminating their
heaven. At first this appeal was
but for mercy; but now for liberty.
Under existing conditions such an
appeal is anarchy, pure and simple.
There Is a pardon for a. penitent,
under certain conditions but
search Holy Writ from G-n. 1:1
to Rev. 22:31; and all the statutes
on this globe, and you will not find
justification for a pardon in this
Instance: see 1st Tim. 1:9 Gal.
6:13 to 25 Rom. 13:1 to 11. To
not answer these unrepentant sobs
would hut encourage anarchy.
Some of the writers may mean well
having been raised to not know any
better; but the person who Is the
pure quill allows employees to buy
and use the same kind of a pro
duct that they help to manufac
ture; and does not maintain an ob
struction that Is of no use to any
one and Is a nuisance to the pub
lic. And when Kansas Is quoted aa i
model to pattern after; then let It
not be forgotten that, altho. It was
in the main, originally settled by
sturdy, law-abiding citizens; still,
Judge Lynch, the hempen cord, and
a hatchet played a prominent part
in bringing It to Its present state
of perfection; but lamentably, some
of the undesirables escaped to
other states for others to contend
with. And let It not be forgotten
that the genuine Patrick Henry
personal liberty terminates right
nt the point where It would inter
fere or conflict with the personal
liberty exci citcl, within the law,
by any other person.
Tho a man be ever so kind a
neighbor and square In hie finan
cial dealings, his remark that the
bloodless apprehension of a vicious
criminal waa a reprehensible act,
forfeit all claims to good cltlaen
shlp; and creates a doubt as to
whether parental responsibility Is
entirely blameless.

To the Editor: Is there no way
to reach these persistent traffic
law violators who drive their
autos through our streets regard
less of other people's rights and
even llvosT I have twice taken
the number of a car which dashed
by after the trolley had stopped
to let me out. and then decided to
do nothing about It. But last
night as my wife and myself were
seeking to board a trolley at the
corner of State and 15th an auto
whizzed past between us and the
stopped car, going probably twen.
ty-five miles an hour. The driver
saw the car stop In time to hare
stopped himself, but stepped on
the gas, Jhonked his horn In our
faces and made his getaway. ' I
asked the trolley conductor about
the case, and he said the man was
absolutely violating the law
"they are doing It all the time'
By the headlight of the trolley I
caught the autolsts number, Ore.
31,940. At police headquarters I
was told that the car belongs to a
party In Eugene, and Inasmuch
as no one was killed or malmled
nothing could be done. That fel
low will kill somebody yet If he
continues as he (s doing. Can
nothing be done with these out-of-town
law breakers to make our
streets safe for law-abiding peo
ple? E. B. HAMMOND.

To the Editor: Have been trying
to tease my old typewriter Into ex
pressing itself concerning the Right
Rev. Billy Sunday.
The typewriter, however, seems
to have too lurid an opinion anent
the sainted acrobat. For this rea
son I submit the following editor
ial from the Reed College Quest, of
Portland:
"Anyone who hum noted the re
ception commonly accorded by
church, state and society to Itlner
ant apostles -of life's problems
would probably be perplexed at
the reception accorded Billy Bun
day. Here Is a man whoee mes
sage to the world was antiquated
four generations ago; whose hypo
theses could not withstand the as
sault of kindergarten logic; and
whose whole philosophy, If accept
ed, would mean the discard of
everything acquired by mankind
through the patience and courage
of Individuals- who persisted in
their quest In spite of discourage
ment and rebuff.
"In spite of this, 'he Is not re
fused an audience with city off!
cials and finally driven Into a dark
alcove somewhere above the long
shoremen's hall; he is not assailed
by the righteous Indignation of ec
clesiastics.
"When one compares the recep
tion accorded Mr. Sunday with that
of men who, however open to chal
longe some of tnelr theses may be
offer an Intelligent presentation of
the things that are the present
concern of mankind, there Is logi
cal excuse for remarking at the
seeming inconsistency.
"If Mr. Sunday wishes to hold
science up as the vagaries Inspired
by a horned devil, reduce the relig
ion of the Galilean lakes and val
leys to the terms of the pimping
Joint, and, finally, to turn the at
tention of mankind from abuses
crying for, correction now to the
vision of a heaven worthy of con
ception in a tinsmith's brain, there
are no serious objections to his
being all owed to do so, but one can
only wish that some of the sym
pathy and encouragement accord
cd him were extended to those dis
credited souls whose message Is not
a kick In the ace for honest In
tel 11 pence.
"Campaigns of the Billy Sunday
type can no more herd the people
back into the pens of "orthodox1
thinking than the village councils
of eighteenth century England
could flatten the earth by passing
resolutions declaring It flat. The
wheels of progress have ground on
over more formidable monkey
wrenches than any that Mr. Sun
day is capable of throwing into
the machine, and they will grind
on.
"Billy's particular message for
humanity Is one dovetailing with
the maintenance Intact of the pre-
vallng powers, so he eseapes raid
ing patrolmen, ecclesiai leal ana
thema, and the refreshing wit of
the front page cartoons. And so,

with full sanction ot municipality
and church and press, he stands
out aa one of America's greatest
contemporary figures, peacefully
yammering his way to the lubber-
land of lost causes, along' with
those who prated of flat worlds
and myriads of angels who could

It is quite amusing to learn that
three days after thla editorial ap
peared, Sunday declared In a ser
mon that some of the Reed college
faculty will not wear wings nor
play harps in the great beyant.
