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.

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.

Edwards' Case Puzzles.
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. I am of the opin-
