RANDOM COMMENT
They are off The National Cong-
ress is hitting er up at breakneck
speed One young congresman from
New York — he’s a Republican too
celebrated by introducing fourteen
bills the first day and another Re-
publican from California not to be
greatly outdone by his eastern col-
league introduced eleven and most
of them will die in pigeon holes
— LD—
The Insurgents headed by young
Rob LaFollette issued a defi and put
up one of their own number for
speaker but he didn't get very far
and old Niels Lonpworth of Ohio
was easily elected The Regulars will
punish the insurgents for their naugh-
tiness by refusing them committee
appointments and some who were
already well along in the matter of
committee assignments will be shear-
ed of their authority and reduced to
the ranks
— ID—
In the Senate it's different The
Republicans have a good working ma-
jority and they will go about their
business in a dignified manner even '
Vice-President Dawes indicating that
he wouldn't insist on doing all the
talking but allow the Senators to
proceed much as they have heretofore
— LD —
Judging from letters received at
thin office from Senator Harreld and
Congressman Montgomery these gen-
tlemen at least have been getting
some correspondence from their con-
stituents in regard to legislation that
is likely to come up during this cong-
ress This is in regard to the Government-printed
envelopes Both have
indicated that they will hearken to
the voices at home and if other sena-
tors and congressmen will do likewise
one of the worst forms of govem-ment-butting-into-business
that right-
ly belongs to the printers will receive
a severe setback
— ir
Prsident Coolidge is still saytng
nothing but doing much He is one
of the most hated and best loved
presidents the United States has had
for quite some time I am predicting
that he will get what he wants from
Congress and come off with flying
colors He's built that way He has
made very few mistakes during his
short tenure of office and bids fair
to be instrumental in getting more
constructive legislation ensiled than
any president we have had in recent
years
— LD—
I know there are many Democrats
and quite a few Republicans who will
not agree with me in this regard
but they have a perfect right to their
opinions— all I ask is that they accord
me the same privilege
— IJ)
' I have said several times that this
dope ia written just to fill up space
and that if you didn’t like it why
you needn't read it
—ID—
But say — Rev Mike Cassidy handed
the “cussers" a package in his ser-
mon at the Methodist Church Sun-
day night and strange to say I fully
agree with him He said he hated
a "cusser” — that he was worse than
a horsethief— and then proceeded to
prove his assertion Cassidy has a
way of saying things that it is hardly
possible for a listener to get mad or
take exceptions to his statements
— LD—
A “cusser" can give no good excuse
for cussing the pastor said A mgn
took a big chew of Navy plug rolled
it under hia tongue and expectorated
contentedly “Why do you chew to-
bacco" asked the preacher Expec-
torating again the tobacco chewer
replied “To get the juice out of it”
He at least had an excuse while the
“cusser” who takes the name of his
God in vain and makes himself a
veritable nuisance has no excuse

I That makes me think — I can't say
that I approve of a man exploiting
his candidacy for office or thit of
I any other man in the Mas n!v lodge —
' or any other lodge for that matter
I The fact that a candidate for gover-
nor or any other elective office is
'a Mason or an Odd Fell or what-not
I is no reason why I should support
i him — unless he happens to be a man
I of my own political faith
No the above doesn't have any
connection with Mr EL-her nor his
missing a good shot at quails — but
it is one question that he and I fully
agree upon Only Fisher would state
state it in a more picturesque manner

Success
Friday evening the best number

more people did not avail themselves
of the opportunity to laugh together

Sophomore Performance
The activities of Pryor High school
were portrayed in pantomines show-
ing football baseball basketball and
high diving
This was the first public perform- j
ance of the Sophomo es and the re-
suits were due to a great extent to '
the efforts of the sponsors Miss I
Fults and Mrs Post
Unique Chapel Program
A very unique and surprising
chapel program was given Wednes-
day morning when the Manual Train-
ing boys exhibited the articles they
had made this year Most of the ar-
ticles were toys A race between
four “Walking Wallopusua” was won
by the Wallopu belonging to Mor-
aine Wattenbarger Next to the
great enjoyment of all there was a
fight between a duck and rooster
when they both tried to get the same
worm Topsy-Turvy toys and book
racks were shown and last came the
dog show These wooden dogs were
pulled across the stage on whels and
the dogs seemed to enjoy the fun as
well as the pupils for each dog wag-
ged his tail to show how glad he was
to be in the show
Point System
The present requirements for grad-
uation are: that the student must
have sixty-four points This is an
average of about 85 per cent In
other words he must make just as
many nineties as seventies during h a
four years of high school work '
The big question is: should we keep
this system or not ? Is it best to ask
this much of the student?
In the first place it insures that

the student is capable of graduating
He has a standard scholarship and
encourages or puts a premium on
good work
So often the freshman enters col-
lege without a foundation It has
been found that one third of the stu-
dents who enter college fail or ai
sent home because of the lack of
good work
Too often they go only for the
social life of college This system
would cut down much of that unless
the pupil was able to keep up his
work and the social side
School is too expensive to send
students for just the high life
These boys and girls who make
the seventy might have an I Q
much higher but they think well 1
can get by on that so why work
any harder? They don’t realize that
they are losing by not doing their
best until it is too late When the
blame falls back on the teacher and
the school
The pupils who go for fun bother
and hold back those who go for
purpose Those who really are after
the knowledge they can get If you
aren't going to learn then why go?
The point system is one of the
best things ever tried in our school
system What do you say let it
stay or no?
