HENRY HIRZ' BODY TO BE HERE FRIDAY 335 PLAIN AND FANCY EDUCATION7 Morals and ethics must be taught somewhere, mainly by example, pe--haps. Pos.-ibly the schoolroom is iin proper plae. for their inculcation. Morals and ethic art- so important that it would be a brave person who objected to their being made i schoolroom subject. And yet there should be some room left in our public school curriculum for read ing, spelling and mathematics. Whc" a university graduate frankly ad mits that he can't spell, that lie can't do hard sums in long division without errors, that he can't write with assurance as to his gramaticv.l construction, one is obliged to won der what iii the heck he went to school for and why he wasted so much time in the pursuit of some thing whic'i he had no prospect of overtaking. There U such an exag gerated id '.'.i of the value, public aid personal, sf higher education, and such a mistaken sen:;? of proportion as between common knowledge and uncommon knowledge that there are times wh-:-n it looks ;ts is our very costly an 1 somewhat complicated public school sy.-tem has dressed it self up without having anywhere to go. :o: THE UNPARDONABLE LAW P.ishop Thomas F. fiailor. of Ten nessee, was preeminently correct when he -said "the writing into oir constitution of the eighteenth amendment v as unpardonable." The Episcopalian Bishop, who is well known and appreciated, expressed the concensus of opinion at least of the wets and one largely shared by the drys. The pass. ige f the dry law at th? wrong time and its sweeping restric tions are not in accord with the American idea of legislation and rights in the homes. Only the other day the Prohibi lion C-ommi'isioncr was in New VorK holding a council of var again-t the bootlegger. Numerous ships are smuggling whiskey Into the states. A continual stream of liquor car rier are pouring across the Canadian border. Into states where field men are available, moonshining is going on and bootlegging is engaged in practically every community. Yet the Volstead act has been in effect for almost two years. As well attempt to stem the tide of the Niagara Falls with a mill creek dam as to attempt to prohi bit the sale of liquor by law. Far safer to the drinkers if good red li quor can '03 purchased legally at a reasonable price than the traffic in lye-cleared moonshine which is has tening many a man to the grave af ter he has been gouged by the "corn profiteers." Bishop Gailor was right. The dras tic provisions of the law have earn ed the American public to chafe. Ii was passed at the time an industrial unrest was at white heat.

"The fact is that we sought' at this time to finance only grain, whereas in the long run cotton, to bacco, live stock and other farm pro ducts must be financed." said Presi dent Howard. Ohio and Iowa have already arranged for state financing corporatiens. while Nebraska and Minnesota farmers are considering F.imiliar action.
