WHERE ARE THE SCHOOLS FOR THE "BACK
TO SCHOOL" DRIVE
Where is P. P. Claxton, United States commis­
sioner of education, in this hour of crisis
Wfiy isn't he meeting the instant need of the
American educational system with a constructive,
efficient program?
What is the prospect ahead educationally?
Well, there's the "Back to School" drive of the
National Council of Defense. It is aimed to take
out of industrial jobs hundreds and thousands of
boys and girls under 16 years of agQ.and send
them back tpjheir books and studies,
There can be no wise, reasonable objection to
such a program, carried out with due regard to
individual circumstances.
Bu£ this is what it will do: It will vacate a
gpod many jobs. That will add to the demand for
other workers.
But it will do more: ft will add to the
iately needed.
demand for workers.
That's the situation as it stands.
We haven't enough school buildings.
We haven't any national program for school

With eleven men in the sjenate and twenty-two
in the House, the Nonpartisans will have just one
sixth of each body. It is fortunate, however, that
the Republicans and Democrats took the preten­
sions of the league leaders seriously and marsh­
alled their forces against them. Otherwise there
might have been more than a negligible minority
to deal with in the legislature.
The league made noise enough and spent money
enough to deceive even their own followers as to-
This is a democracy and class movements have
po place here and cannot long exist. The,Non
partisan League being essentially an effort to
further the interest of one class at the expense of
all others, of which North Dakota furnishes illusr
tration, is doomed to an early end. What will'
become of the large fund which it has accumulated
will be an interesting story which we expect to
tell some day.—Minneapolis Tribune.

WE CAN HAVE CHEAPER FUEL
Let's have cheaper coal.
All the congregation votes yea.
But the thoughtful brother in the last seat rises
to ask:
"How are we going to cheapen coal unless we
cut down the miner's wages and reduce the rail­
road man's pay and the teamster's pay and the
dealer's margin of profits, for all these things go
to make up the price of coal
"And if we start reducing wages won't we start
an avalanche of falling prices, labor market de­
moralization and disturbances and so bring about
a period when, having less money in our pockets
wo shall be no better off under reduced coal prices
than under the present skyhigh figure?"
Still thinking in pre-war grooves, isn't he? Ig­
noring lessons learned in wartime, too.
Coal experts tell us valuable clays and bitumin­
ous shales from which rich oils might be extracted
are left in most coal mines, not utilized in any way.
There are other coal by-products to which little at­
tention was paid before the war which if efficient­
ly collected would yield millfons of dollars annual­
ly. More machinery could be utilized by most
Thus fuel could be cheapened, without cutting
wages, by more scientific methods.

take time in development. But it needn't take an

telligence and public spirit of the rank
and file of the party. This record
alone proved that Senator Weeks -Ijad
systematically voted against progres­
sive measures in favor of privilege
whenever and wherever there wqs is­
sue between the two.'
"He had voted against the direct
election of senators, against the in­
come tax, against increasing taxation
on war profits, against government
credit to farmers, against the Clayton
Act to curb big business abuses,
iagairtst establishing the Federal Trade
Commission, and so on, and-so on.
"Besides this general circularization
the work of the anti-Weeks campaign

groups, like the industrial section of

"The defeat of Senator Weeks in
the Republican stronghold of Massa­
chusetts continues to be one of the
amazements of election day returns.
'Who did it? What did it?' is the con­
stant question. The National Ameri­
can Woman Suffrage Associatibn is
very proud of the answer—the women
of Massachusetts did it, and they did
it because it was necessary to secure
two more votes in the 66th Congress
so that if the federal suffrage amend­
ment should fail of passpge in the im­
pending short term of the 65th Conr
gress, it might be assured of passage
by the incoming House and Senate. I
By the defeat of a Republican in
Massachusetts and a Democrat in
Delaware those votes have been se­
cure and the fate of the suffrage
amendment has been made absolutely
safe in the 66th Congress.
In Delaware
For months the National has had
workers in Delaware, canvassing,
speaking, massing public opinion
against the Democratic Senator Sauls
bury, who has not only opposed the
federal {suffrage amendment himself,
but has .used the weight of his opinion
to influence the younger men of the
Senate to vote against it. Miss Mabel
Willard has had charge of the or­
ganization work in his state and Mrs.
Halsey W. Wilson, Mrs. Horace Still
well, the two last national officers,
have taken special assignments in the
Delaware field. One detail of the
work of these women was the lining
up of Dr. L. H. Ball, the Republican
candidate, in favor of the amendment.
With his committal to it, the program
of opposition to Senator Saulsbury^
was developed with increasing effect
tiveness and a coalition of Republic­
an factions at the critical hbur made
it possible for all the elements of the
opptftifiidn to Saulsbury to be- as
semblS&^with a force that determined
his case past peradventure of a doubt.
"In the case of both of these states,"
concludes the National's statement,
"we feel that women, have given a
thoroughgoing answer to th& question
of ho«(-to defeat a senator."
