Schools and Societies The school board at its meeting last night, very properly ratified the action of the high school officials in suspending students who violated their pledges and the school rules as well as the state law by joining a secret society, and ordered the suspension continued until principal and superintendent are convinced thu society has been disbanded. The secret society banned was the "Friars Club" which had been disbanded as promised, but reorganized as a sort of prep chapter for a college fraternity. The students contended that inasmuch as the real secret society known as De Molay, of which some of them are members, is permitted to continue in the schools, they could not see why the Friars should be discriminated against. The state law on the subject of school societies reads as follows : Section 0075. SIOCltET SOCIETIES PltOlIIBlTKI) IN PUBLIC BCHOOLS. Secret societies or every Kind and character. Including (rutcrnilics and sororities, so-called, which may now or hereafter exist among the pupils of any of the public schools of this state, including high schools, either local or county, are hereby declared uulawful. The De Molay is said to be a junior order of Free Masonry. But why should the Masons rob the cradle? And if the Masons are permitted' to violate the school law, why not Odd Fellows, jtylhians, Maccabees, K. C.'s, K. K. K. and other gallant knights, and Elks, Moose, Eagles, Owls and others of the fraternal menagerie? Lodge rigmaroles and parades in glittering paraphernalia by knighllets and little animals and birdies, would do much to make school life attractive to the kiddies. Besides they would further relieve the parents of care of the children and leave more time for joyrides and movies. The school board is right in enforcing the law, but it should not content itself with a partial and lop-sided enforce ment. Equality before the law is a fundamental of justice. If one society is barred, all should be. mialreaa as herself! There were other applicants In the room, middle aged women, young; girls, forolgnors evidently. There was one lovoly looking young Frenchwoman, who looked aa If she had been brought up In luxury with a sinking heart Mario decid ed that she would probably be the one selected. Oh well, of course I'll find something else If this isn't tho place for me," she told herself. Probably it's asking for too much luck to want this first place to be the one for me." Hut she could not help hoping that it was. The salary was good, compared to those of fered in the other ads, and taking care of one iittlo girl would bo far easier than looking after several. By being vory careful she could live' on tho salary too, and needn't take any of tho money Billy was settling on hor as alimony. roinnrroiv Mm-lc Ilecoincs it Wage Kilmer. Advantages of Chemeketa Commenting upon the proposal to change the name of Salem to .Chemeketa, the Eugene Guard says: If the Salem Capital Journal will guarantee to teach tho general public how to pronounco Chemeketa without sneeze or stutter we will ngrco to sny a kind word tor the Csjltal Journal's plan to change the name ot sniem to Uhcmckota. On the contrary the more the public sneezes and stutters over the name, the more the talk and discussion about it, the greater the publicity secured. A change to some unimagi native, easily pronounced, meanngless and sissyfied name would arouse little comment and lose all the valuable adver tising a change from Salem to Chemeketa insures. Chemeketa, whatever may have been its meaning in Siwash, Chinook or other indian tongue, is a good strong picturesque name, suggestive and reminiscent in its gutteral ness of the aboriginal inhabitants. It wouldn't be confused in tne puunc mum, wun a river, as the suggested alternative Willamette would be but have an individuality of its own.

He studied her ns she at looking out of the window, his eyes dwell ing on tho beautiful line of her throat nbnvo her dark fur collar, on tho delicacy of her bare hande that lay lightly rlnnprd In her lap. Bho was exiiuinite. ho told himself, really beautiful. And with her aeno of humor, her bright, milik mind, her charm oh tliei o h:u1 never heon nnynnn like, her In his life!

Alone In her hotel room that night she looked through hor ward robo and selected a plain, dark suit as tho moat eultablo tiling for a Job-seeker to wear. She had not qulto decided what sort of position to look for; there was bo little she could do. Queer that a woman could work as hard as sho had for five years and then have so little ability that had any market value Keeping house, making n real home for n man, giving his her body r.nd mind and nnnl, had not fitted her to do any thing, apparently, that the world would pay for, Rile poured over tho newspaper tho next morning, studying t he want nd!.

And she could study shorthand nt night, and get a better Job when she had mastered It. There was one n dress, on fifth Avenue, that was tho most promis ing. A nursemaid to take care of a small girl was ndvertised for; ho must bu iibte to pcnk French and must have good references. "I can give Caroline l'hlltlps and Kllen Jnmisnn," Marie decided.

The case of Cecil lCdwardi president of the high echool stu dent body, who was this mornicg found to bave been a member of the fraternity, nppeara to be con siderably less simple than that cf the other 17. Edwards has bona mispended indefinitely, beginning today, due primarily to the fact, school authorities state, that he did not co mo out into tho op tin along with. the other mcmbci'i of the organization. According to school authorities, Edwards has "tried to keep on the fence" ever .since the scandal started. The rv- ts indicate that he was posing with the boys aa a club member, and with the school authorities os not a club member. It was only I after considerable cross question-) ing that Superintendent Hug this morning wrung from him a con fession thut he did belong. Con siderable question has arisen as to his ability to continue aa stu dent body president. It le expected that by tomorrow the high school fraternity situa tion will have lapsed again into momentary inactivity. Real Issue Sidestepped Despite current reports to tho effect that the question of the existence ot secret societies in high school was definitely settled I at last night's school board meet ing, all that actually occurred was a sidestepping of the main issues. with tho result that they et 1)1 ex ist in the high school, still necessi tating a settlement nt some future time, either by the school author ities or by the board Itself. Three members of the Friars fraternity, who wero on bond at the board meeting and prepared to defend themselves, were ignored. When Dick Shcl, one of the three, asked H. H. Olinger, chairman ot the board, if they could bo heard, Dr. Olinger replied, "I don't think you can.'' The belief ie that the boys, In leaning heavily on tho technicali ties of their defense, would have dragged In the question of the ex istence ot the order of DeMolay, with the result that the DeMolay 's status, together with any other order which can make Itself sim ilar to' the DeMolay, would have had to be definitely settled then and there. Several men Interested in the DeMolay, or junior order ot Masons, wero present nt the board meeting and obviously pre pared to speak on' the subject. They were given no opportunity to Bnnrd Passes Buck The form of the motion passed ' bv the hoard was to tho effect that the suspension of the 17 P. lars ousted from high school last Monday continue "until the superintendent and principal re port to the board that the matter has been cleared up to their satis faction," No Indication of what constituted satisfactory settlement was contained In the motion. Tho Impression gained by per sons present was that even less cognizance of the situation, con ceded lo be a crisis In high school affairs, would have been taken had It not been for the stand tak en by Frank Neer, new member of the board. The matter came up for consideration when CJeorge Hug, superintendent, read a com munication from J. C, Nelson, principal, briefly setting forth the fartfl In the case. "I believe tho board has taken previous action, and I soe no rea son for reopening the case," said Wm. Gahlfidorf. director. His stand was apparently supported Time to Face the Facts "So much has been said against the use of patent medicines that have had a strong prejudice against them. But after four years doctoring with six differ ent doctors, without results, for acute Indigestion, gastritis, con stlpation, appendicitis and other ailments, I was said to pos sess, I was encouraged to try Mayr'e Wonderful Remedy, see ing what It had done for a friend similarly afflicted. I also was en tirely relieved of my trouble, and am sure this medicine will do all and more than Is claimed for It." It is a simple, harmless prepara tion that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stom ach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. J. C. Perry, D. J. Fry and drug gists everywhere. Adv. by P. M. Gregory, another direc tor. Hoy Simoral, a third member ot the board, was absent. Neer Favors Action Tho nuostlou was raised, how ever, whether the principal had authority to take such extreme measures as might bo found neces sary In tho case at lssuo. At this point Neer broke into an expression ot his opinion on the situation as It had arisen through the reorganization of the Friars fraternity. "I don't think their report as they made It for publication In the paper Is bona fide," he said, 'either they're kidding them selves, or else they are kidding us. I'm inclined to think they're kid ding us. "As I see It, these boys have de liberately committed two of fenses. First, they have broken their word by ignoring tholr pledges as signed at the first ot the school year. Second, they havo defied the school board by deliberately going against It's ex pressed ruling.
