In every case where the control of the schools is made a political prize the schools suffer. The politicians always win, the community always loses. Dallas has entrusted the conduct of its schools to cer- tain directors. If they fail in their duty there are electoral provisions for replacing them with directors who the com- munity feels might do better, but as long as they are direct- ors they deserve a fair deal and freedom from political bat- tles which have nothing to do with. the school system. We do not favor dictatorships which over-ride public opinion, but on the other hand we are confident that the success of any school district rests upon its detachment from peanut politics. In any controversy which does arise, let’s consider the Let’s forget on which side of the political fence we stand and Only so can we welfare of our schools above any narrow prejudices. judge the question on its own merits. ‘achieve fairness. * * * There is in Dallas today a better feeling of harmony and accord among business men than there has been in some years. It is a condition which warms the DALLAS hearts of those public - spirited men who GETS have long felt that the lack of organiza- TOGETHER tion here was having a decided effect on general business conditions. ~The current trade expansion program will, of course, be only a temporary thing but it will serve as a bond to unite the merchants for more permanent affiliation. In itself it is proving that Dallas merchants, once their interest is justi- fied, can be aggressive and modern in their merchandising The campaign affords a splendid opportunity for We hope sincerely they will recognize that opportunity and take methods. local persons to reassert their faith in local businesses. advantage of it. Another encouraging factor is the formation of the new Business Men’s Association, with Peter Clark, one of the most aggressive and popular résidents of the borough, as president. This organization can be a powerful help to local business men as it gains strength and can serve the com- munity in a variety of ways. - All in all, the business men of Dallas are to be com- mended highly and congratulaied, * Nature is repeating Boreslt Last year she brought the greatest drought in history to the great American mid-west, turned millions of acres of rich wheat land to desert, and had the laugh on the puny efforts of mere man to control production. As if that lesson weren't severe enough, Nature is again menacing crops—dust clouds recently swept day after day across the vast mid-west wheat country. The area affected includes over 50,000,000 acres of wheat land. The result, un- less late rains do the unexpected and remedy the situation, ~ will be an inconsequential crop. The Secretary of Agriculture has removed certain res- triction on the planting of spring wheat. This is expected to cause a rise of from 10 to 30 million bushel in the normal spring crop. * Although he climbed a 50-foot tower and “skinned the cat” on his 95th birthday, Dr. Edwin Osbaldeston of New Jersey is mindful of the uncertainty of life and is shopping around for a cheap funeral. He has a bid of $150 from one mortician, but thinks he will yet be able to get himself put away for an even $100. * * tled without involving the entire com- Kink low The names of Mrs. Ralph Elston, who directed the Kunkle Grange Minstrel, and Mrs. Harold Smith were uninten- tionally omitted from the list of those who accompanied the Minstrel to Muh- lenburg on April 2.

Kunkle Thursday Night _ | Schindeler iy New Bakery Here New Addition To Borough's Business Section Welcomed A new business enterprise is wel- comed to Dallas this week with the opening on Saturday of the Schindeler Bakery in the Sullivan building on Main street.

Old Paper May Be Original (Continued from Page 1.) Garfield has been expressed clearly in the Southern States and in Europe. “The courts of kings and queens were clad in mourning, the bells of English rural churches tolled, memorial services were held in great cathedrals, and European newspapers, with every sign of grief, discussed with sympathy and intelligence the pathetic event.” There is a prophetic note struck in the editorial entitled ‘Pennsylvania Politics”, The Weekly deplores politi- cal organizations which stifle differ- ences of opinion and concludes: “In- dependent Republicans know the nec- essity of organization quite as well as “boss” Republicans, but they will not support a venal despotism on the ground that government is indispens- able. It is “bossism”, not opposition to it, which endangers the Republican party, and while the question of fight- ing it within the party is one to carefully considered, it must not be forgotten that to play politics with a boss is to throw with the whose dice are loaded.” Among the other old papers entered in the contest was a torn and tattered Wilkes-Barre Record dated May 31, 1884, and giving an account of Memorial Day parade in Wilkes-Rarre, date in 1887.
