THE SCHOOL BOARD.

... wins

school board deserves the apnf 4M Ifa a/fmn nf

prpval of every citizen in its action of oring the eharges made against Sutendent Waits. At first the that the head of the schools unpatriotic seemed to deserve ^consideration. Then when his account \|bLthe circumstances, which gave rise V-*'tri' the charges, was heard/ they col)afcsed completely. ,On top of this the crafty hand of J,, pblitlca appeared in the case and the jmatter resolved itself into a slick move las.fcet rid of Mr. Waits, not from any

charge

Consideration of his qualifications at IP or even of his patriotism. -ftjlThe enemies of Mr. Waits kept their Candidate well concealed. Several &®(Hnes have been mentioned in the ^pljuv but as the scheme never looked safe enough to have the confidence of ~tKfe public, one of these aspirants for ~Mrl Waits' job were ever mentioned.

The school board saw the scheme for "4 -what it was, and the action last night, ignoring such an' obviously cocked up case does the board credit.

c-:,

The very notion that a school official would jeopardize not only his job, but his standing in the community by opposing any patriotic movement at this Particular time, wa-s too crude for most Citizens to Swallow. Nobody believed

it,-,with the exception of the politicians wiso^thought they saw a chance in the rgjnoval of the head of the schools to 1 Alay hands on a job. The prompt and Srd^cisive reply of the board to this ef- ... fort to inject politics into the schocls has thftsjyprobation of every taxpayer .^.-•and patron of the schools who has their real interest at heart.

NEW NEIGHBORS.

Within the past few days tfiere have seen on the streets here moving vans from cities as distant as Indianapolis and Evansville. It not only is ^significant of the fact that the trend of migration is in this direction, but,! Yoo,- once more recalls the marvelous influence df the automobile.

Statistician O. P. Austin, of the Naw^Otionftl City bank of New York, in a i W&nt statement points out that the cotifmercial automobile of American

The epeample of European nations may tip sited in this connection. In the naidst of an unparalleled war they are ^11= laying their plans for business resumption and expansion when the war tended.

STANDING BY.

The liberal offer of Mr. Fred B. frjtnith to equip the one hundred and M?ty-flve men of Company B, with pVerything ihat they need to take the nield, in lieu of waiting on the hardressed government commissary to arnish these thifigs, is one of the sin-

Slarly patriotic things that have hiiarked the first days of the waj\

offer is invaluable not only for ts example, but is highly practical. .While not much has been made of the •matter, it is a fact that Company soldiers have been at the armory for the past two weeks and have been •compelled to abandon drills for the reason that many of the enlisted men did not have shoes.

others who were minus the actual necessities in the way of articles of clothing seriously offset consistent training.

With Mr. Smith's assistance, Company will become completely equipped and ready for service at a moment's notice.

The incident would seem to offer a ludricous commentary on our condition of preparedness. But no one is to blame but the people of' the nation themselves. We have not wanted a large army, we have frowned on militarism and preparedness, and we have given approval to our representatives in congress when they stood out against large army appropriations.

Then suddenly comes the attack from a ruthless enemy. Our efforts to continue neutral and at peace with the world are shattered. We are not al lowed to remain at peace. The shallowness of pacificism is revealed, in all its danger. We are forced to strike back in sheer defense of our land and homes.

Mr. Smith's patriotism m£y thean the actual defense of this community! Should enemies of the government break out here and there the first line of defense will be the soldiers of Company B. Their state of preparedness may be very vital. Mr. Smith's course is a lesson in citizenship to be strongly commended.

THE WABASH VALLEY.

Few citizens ever dreamed that any Invasion of this country would ever be proposed by way of the nation's back door,—that is, over the Mexican border and up through the Mississippi valley.

Probably no one thought of it until Germany was revealed in actually plotting such an attack. This astounding disclosure came about through the Zimmermann note in which Germany proposed giving Texas, Arizona and New Meocico to Mexico for a successful invasion of this county by the Mexican army.

Absurd! This is the average citi-1 zen's first comment. An Englishman would likely have remarked the same thing if told three years ago that German war boats would bombard the Kentish coast.

It is folly for the American people to underrate the shrewdness of German strategy. If Germany succeeds in organizing an invading force, the invaders will not make the n^istake of hurling themselves against the deserts and yiountains of Arizona and New Mexico. They will strike for the jichest sections of the Mississippi valley. They will plan to live off the country and levy war tribute from the rich and populous cities. They will seize horses and mount their soldiers capture arms and munitions wherever they find them, and deal with the inhabitants of the raided region with all the rigor and terrorism that Belgium and parts of France have suffered.

And it would be folly to hold contemptuously the1 fighting qualities of a Mexican army thus organized and led by German officers. There are now in Mexico several hundred thousand men who have had more or less field service. They are physically hardened, inured to hardships and exposure, and know how to handle a rifle. Lured by offers of boundless loot, they would flock to Villa and other Mexican lead ers in great numbers, and their objective would be the rich a^d defenseless cities of the middle _west.

Read this over a couple of times, and if you have any 'pacifist leanings deft do not blame the government for any eventualities that in time make this come true.

Sunday, April 8, 1917.

This is an uncertain day, according to astrology. While Uranus and Jupiter are in benefic aspect, Saturn and Mercury are adverse.

It is a day in which misconceptions and misunderstandings may be common, since there is a strong influence that makes for sudden dislikes and unreasonable judgments.

Uranus gives warning of explosions due to treachery of some sort. This may cause loss of life on the railways.

The day is a most trying one for diplomacy, since it makes for uncertainty, double-dealing and misrepresentation.

Agani a national s.candal touching men in high place is foreshadowed. This may reach many persons who hold the public conffdence.

Jupiter gives promise to merchants and bankers who wHi probably have periods of extraordinary profit. •Ministers should find the day a pro
