THE HOOK SCHOOL CASE.

Those citizens who are circulating petitions to have members of the James Hook school faculty dismissed by the school board are probably wasting a lot of good me. The teachers complained against are charged with a too minute inspection of children suspected of having a contagious disease and of cruelty to those children who resented the personal inspection.

Superintendent Waits is right when he says that the teachers acted within the rights, and, too, avers further, that they acted on his advice, his chief thought being to save the city the expense of a medical examination of every child in the school.

It is not only prepostcrgus to believe that the teachers were guilty of the charges of cruelty, but those teachers to whose lot fell this singular duty have public sympathy and gratitude.

Let us look at the matter from the other view. If the contagion developed and spread among the children, would not the parents insist that the teachers should have been aware of the condition and examined every child? They would, unquestionably. Teachers, who perform such heroic tasks are to be commiserated with rather than censured.

MEN AND MUSIC.

Occasionally the popular verdict in art receives the support of the profound. Prof. Pommer, saturated as he may be with Tschaikowskl and the music of the high brows, has told us that "A Hot Time in the Old Town" is a masterpiece. There is no information here, for did not the valiant boys of Company march away to Camp

Shafer to this air? Did we not recognize it as such, and our armies made it their own until the simple and uninitiated Filipinos thought it the American national hymn? The words, of course, we spurn. Words have dedraggled many an aspiring American musical composition, and those attached to "Dixie" have been the source of much grieved criticism. "A Hot Time in the Old Town" from its initiatory subdued cadences suddenly soars into an adequate expression of genuine feeling without soaring too unrestrainedly, as "The StarSpangled Banner" does. It appears the "Banner" observed the "rocket's red glare" and went after it. There are so few rocket voices that the result has always been disastrous.

But "A Hot Time" is within the universal range, and public opinion at once spoke with assurance: "You must be my tune, or I'll have no tune at a!l, there'll be a hot time in the

old town tonight.''

FREIGHT EMBARGOES.

The plea of the railroads, that there is imminent danger of a car shortage, recalls the (vaudeville story about the fellow who said if he felt any hotter he "could not stand it." The case is making it hard for the calamity political orators who still endeavor to .make the nation believe that it is in patches and distress.

The congestion of freight traffic in New York yards, which, according to Saturday's Associated Press dispatches, surpasses any in recent history, at least, is fast becoming perilous. The bakers fear a fl6ur famine, and the supply of necessities which a great city must get from the outside has become threateningly low. The railroaus give assurances that they will run specials if-necessary to avert a food famine, but they see no prospect of relief of the general congestion, which is due to lack of ships to handle the products which have been sent from the west for export. Every yard, small and large, is jammed to capacity. The trafTic officials of many roads are camped in the yards in their private cars, to deal with the critical situation personally.

There has been some talk of resorting to the eixtreme course of the Southern Pacific, which recently found it necessary to put an embargo on all east-bound freight at New Orleans and GaDveston. It has also been suggested that a storage charge bo imposed. This would not .solve the problem. ,X«r the «a

For YOUR Good

While boosting the Palmer School of Chiropractic, we are boosting for

your good. We are trying to expose false practitioners and show you why

you owe it to your welfare to be critical when seeking the services of a

chiropractor. Be sure you go to a Palmer school graduate, because, he

being a graduate from the school where the science originated—the Foun

tain Head School of Chiropractic—is certain to be capable, efficient

and honorable in his dealings with you.

There are, we admit, just as good chiropractors graduated from other

schools as there are from the Palmer Fountain Head School. But a good

practitioner from a school other than the Palmer School Is a rare excep

—his fellows are not competent. A competent practitioner from the

Palmer School is always a rule—not an exception.

Chiropractic is the science of adjusting^subluxations (partial disloca-

tions) of the human spine, thus relieving the pressure on the jierves. This

being done, nature overcomes any disease that may affect the body. A

chiropractor never does anything but adjust your spine—any one using

any other method is an imposter, pure and simple.

Marcus Grosbaum, floor manager of Goldbergs', ladies' outfitters, earned his first dollar on the streets of Birmingham, England, selling bric-a-brac from door to door. For this he received four shillings a week, or approximately one dollar. At this time, he says, this was considered an exceptionally large salary for a young boy. At the time his father was in the chinaware business. Seiveral years after he had earned his first dollar his father came to America and started up a suit and cloak business. It was at this time that Mr. Grosbaum learned the elements which have made him the successful business man that he is today.

He was first employed in Kleeman's store in this city, after which he went to Evansville, where he took a position with the Max Tony store. Later he was offered a situation with the Paris Fashion shop of Milwaukee, Wis., where he remained until a little over a year ago, when he was brought to Terre Haute by Julius Goldberg to assume charge of the main floor of the store.

Mr. Grosbaum has earned many dollars since the first one in merry old England, but he says that never has he put in such assiduous labor as he did at that time. He will always remember the first four shillings that he jingled in his pocket after his first pay day.

device to keep domestic freight moving. The long through trains are stopped outside the city and broken into parts. But the roads require five or six days' notice from shippers instead of the few hours normally needed to deliver cars. It is a kind of prosperity that is very expensive to the

railways.

FRIENDS OF THE TOWN.

A Tribune reader in Fort Wayne writes to the paper to inquire "Why Terre Haute people are always knocking their own town

The writer adds, "I make Terre Haute on my tri-monthly trip. Terre Haute appears to me to be the busiest and the fastest coming town in the state. Her own people ought to give her a chance at least."

His puzzle is too deep. We pass it

to Tribune readers. This question is pertinent today, as it has been for many years. The habit of some Terre Hauteans of speaking slightingly of Terre Haute is a source of amazement to many people who know the city as it is, and who would far rather live here than in cities whose chief claim to consideration lies in the fact that special t'a'vor has provided them with a mushroom growth in the census tables.

Terre Haute needs no apology. It is one of the best cities to live in in America. It has a very beautiful location its climate is good, its business structure substantial, and its growth steady, both in population and in wealth. No city in America has a greater love of music and the arts. No city is more wide-awake politically. We have a high average of citizenship —an average far higher than that of certain more, strident communities.

This business of "kocking the town" is a fashion, a habit, a state of mind. It is true that Terre Haute might have done better in some directions than she has done. But where we have failed in one direction we have succeeded in others.

It is an axiom of the advertising business that there is nothing in spending money on publicity for an inferior article. If Terre. Haute did not have

bandry. The output in eggs and poultry runs into millions dollars. It has occurred to nearly every one who has kept chickens on a small scale to calculate what profits would be (on paper at least) from thousands of hens. The question, when tested practically, is found to be different fro in one in mere arithmetical regression.

Yet communities are to be found ii the United States that make a specialty of eggs and poultry, and have attracted national attention by the re-i suits.

Here enters upon the stage of Israel & history a strange figure. An obscure farmer living south of Tlothlehem becomes so stirred over the sins /'f Israel that he feels God's call to raise his voice in warning.

Wearing his rough shepherd cloaK he suddenly appears In th« streets of Samaria and at Bethel, the chief :.ieats of idol worship. In theso centers ol luxury and culture lie thunders forth a fearless denunciation of the tfreat national sins, warning the nation tnat such things will destroy tho nation if persisted in, but anhuriiut them or me rev and divine favor if they will repent'and reform.

The sins he charged them with sound very familiar. Greed and graft provide luxuries for the few and poverty for the many. The poor are oppressed and cheated by false weights' and short measures, their land is taker, by trickery and graft, while the ric.i lawbreakers escape through brilverv. It was the age-long struggle tc put selt first and to seek material mastery.

Such sins are the result of turning awav from God. as the bold proo'aei plainlv tells them. Thes? same sins would quickly swamp our nation the church of Christ were not constantlv fighting them back with the call to "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.' The awful conditions of churchless mining camps on the frontier show how quickly rnoralitv is swept away when not founded on the rock of ages.

Our home missionaries are among our most important patriots. They are the border patrol who keep back the hordes of godlessness.
