As President Coolidge is said to have at one
time written a friendly letter to the Knight’ of
Columbus we presume, should he die, that there
will be no claim that he belonged to the fiery
cross organization.
Where there’s smoke there’s bound to be
fire, even if the fire is of small consequence.
In the matter of the series of floggings over
the state recently no doubt the actual acts of
violence are relatively small compared to the
amount of sensational publicity they call for.
These flogging incidents, disgraceful as they
are, should not be the means of forcing state
officials to violate local self-government as it
applies to the counties, but it seems that pub-
licity seeking politicians are determined to
force not only themselves into the public
gaze but force state officers into local affairs.

the solidifying and stabilizing influence of at least
a high school education is more necessary than
at any time in the history of the country.
Back to the school should be the slogan in the
home, in the business house, in the shop and it
should be preached from every pulpit.

and when he fails to do so, or the management
thinks he does, there are no committees to inter-
cede for him.
Ford reduced the number of employes on his
railroad more than 50 per cent and did this in
face of the fact that the road’s business increased
more than 25 per cent. If it were possible to in-
augurate such reforms in the government service,
as Ford has established in his own business, it is
more than likely half of the government em-
ployes could be dispensed with. But there is too
much red tape there for Henry to ever unwind.
The great army of employes of the government
are too strongly entrenched for even a Henry Ford
to disturb them. It would take Congressional ac-
tion to separate these hords from the public teat
and congressmen have too many henchmen in
office to ever get such legislation.

It is believed the committee has worked out
a plan that can be carried out that will enable the
city to go ahead that will only increase the tax
rate a very small amount. Marshall must take
care of her schools, our water and sewerage de-
partments should be improved in order to give us
insurance reduction and improve health condi-
tions, we should have some money to help pave
streets where the property owners are willing to
put up their part and there should be some ex-
tension of our paved sidewalks.
It is believed all these things can be done with
only slight increase of taxes. Marshall is going
to look carefully into any proposition to increase
taxes and it is hoped the plan worked out will be
convincing enough to insure a favorable verdict
at the polls.
Marshall must not stagnate. Marshall is not
a finished city and until we get as big and as
progressive a city as we want there will be neces-
sary expenditures of money in public improve-
ments. And if the committee’s findings and
recommendations are conservative and confined to
the actual present needs the Morning News be-
lieves the people will 0. K. their recommendat'ons.

ficers would even try to find out those who com-
mitted this outrage? And what had these men
done that they should be so treated? One of
them had been accused of shooting a man but the
officers had just turned him loose .saying that
they had no charge against him. The other man
was his brother who had just come from Mc-
Kinney, having heard his brother was in trouble.
And up at Tulsa. The local officers had had
two years to arrest the floggers of an old man and
had done nothing. In three days the military
sent there by the Governor had the confession
and conviction of three of the ruffians who had
maltreated this old man.

There are a great many people who believe
that in some magical way Mr. Ford, if he were
President, would pay off our national debt, wave
a wand and all of us would be rolling in wealth.
But those who delve deeper into the reasons
for Henry Ford’s phenomenal success in his own
business, discover that the reason for that success
is hard work. Hard work not only on the part of
Mr. Ford but down to the humblest employee in
his immense organization. He has no place for
drones and experts who have examined into the
matter are on record as saying that a Ford
employee on an average does 40 per cent more
work than the like employee in similar positions
with other companies. Mr. Ford pays high wages,
recognizes no unions and when a man doesn't hit
the ball he is separated from the payroll. Each

In a few weeks our schools open. The records
of the schools throughout the country show an
alarming absence of boys in the high schools.
Here in Marshall the absence of boys in the grad-
uating classes from year to year has been dis-
tressing.
The boy who has secured a position during
vacation and, who has made good, is very liable
to think he cannot afford to spend any more of his
time in going to school, but sees ahead a business
career that does not (as he thinks) need an edu-
cation to bring success. But such reasoning is a
mistake that the boy will feel all his life long.
The masses of the people cannot hope to re-
ceive a college or university education. It is pos-
sible that it is not desirable that they should, for
we all see just as many failures (if not more in
proportion) of university graduates as we do
among those who only go through the high
schools. But no boy can get the best out of his
life without as much education as our high
schools offer.
Every business man should be a booster for
our schools and should encourage the boy who is
working for him to return to school. During this
day of industrial unrest throughout the nation,
Notes of Another Hard Cuff
When the organ of a local theatre
began playing "Tales of Hoffman” the
other night I was so surprised I for-
got to look at the picture.
I could cheerfully murder the thea-
tre musician who insists on imita:ins
with traps any discharge of firearms
of the screen.
Of all the banal, stupid, imbecille
things that set one's nerves on edge
and produce untold disgust, the class
prophecy, without which no high
school annual or commencement is
comvlete, is unreservedly the worst.
The other day I saw a woman in
Marshall dressed in a smart gray
tailleur, wearing a blue coat, gray
hose and blue shoes, and carrying a
blue woman’s walking stick—and I
rejoiced.
Among the women you conuldn’t
pay me to date is the sparkling young
thing who helps out the theatre
orchestra by humming each selection
ad nauseum.

How to Locate Oil Wells
In an excellent oil field story in the
Saturday Evening oPst, George Patu-
Ho says he knew of a wildcat produe- l
ing well that “a negress located with
the aid of a hog's hoof, parched to a
crip and tossed over the left shoulder
when the moon was full, and every
rock hounded previously consumed baa
laughed at prospects thereabout.”
If any people in Harrison County
have land that has been declared bar-
ren of liquid black gold and wish to
locate wells that will keep their kids
in idleness all their life, they are at
liberty to use the following unpaten-
ted methods:
Throw a live pig tail through the
fork of a ten-year-old tree with the
eyes shut and the legs crossed.
Take exactly half the hairs in a
horse’s mane, tie them end to end and
stretch the line from a boulder with
moss on the north side any time that
the moon looks like cheese and sink a
pipe at the end of the Une.
Roll a parboiled peanut along the
ground with the nose until the nose
is cleaned of skin, keeping the hands
crossed behind the body, making sure
first that the milky way doesn’t look
watered.
The ingredients of any of these
methods may also be used in making
home brew.
I hope I never shall be wise
Nor learn to use my ears and eyes
Like those rich fools the gods despise—
Shrewd business men.
F Who. when they hear the shylark's song,
Don't hear the prayer—or hear it wrong—
And much prefer the dinner-gong
Or clerk's “Amen.”
