The Oreaasile | School Board has fortunately heen | able to keep free from such disturb- | ance and its achievements are indica- | | tive of its efficiency. Ard it might be well to call to the attention of the restless few whose | last year forced them to express their opin- ion of the \d timers\ in the adja- | cent community in no very compli- memary terms, and whose agitation, for \reform\. were frustrated, that despite their oft repeated predictions of certain disaster in educational cir cles, strange as it may seem-they | are still going strong. ___ Tarning From Wilson. President Wilson is receiving ad- vices from his political embassy | which has been touring the west, | headed by National Chairman Homer S. Cummings, to the effect that all is not well in many of the states of the middle west, the northwest and the far west. The port to the White House and even pro-Administration spokesmen Rave been unable to con- ceal the fact that the report was of a pessimistic character. Mr, Cum- mings himself although he seeks to portray that the country is over- whelmingly with the President in fa- vor of the league covenant asd peace treaty, is unable to hide the fact that there is deep dissatisfaction among the public because the Ad- ministration has 'been devoting the lust seven or eight months th forein affairs and has been giving no atten- tion to domestic matters. He admits the public is deeply disgatisfed over 'the high cost of living. Profound dissatisfaction with the Administration has been found to exist in the States through which Mr, Cummings and his political commis- stoners have been traveling. Alto- every consideration. . Fifty centa per person to be contributed at each game is little enough to pay for an after- noon of good sport. It must be dis- couraging to any club to have the majority of contributors average leas than ten cents per person. The residents of Freeport could well afford to- voluntarily raise a fund of two hundred - dollars. and send it gratuitously to the élub. | This would relieve the club of their present em» barassment and assure a full schedule of games. The Observer-Post will head the Owners of the, Yankees are gether Mr. Cummings' assessment of public sentiment is w6t of such a character as to add to the joy of lifs at the White House.
