Gompers Mates Protest Direct to President Wilson. RAILWAY HEADS HELP HINES Executives Are in Conference! With Administration Chief. Discrimination Against Unions Is Big Charge Made. Washington. Feb. 19. Labor today decided to fight the Esch-Cummins bill which provides for regulation of the railroads after their return to their owners, March 1. While this decision was being reached at American Federation of Labor headquarters here today, rail- o r"u were meeting with1 Kail Director Hines to discuss wages i and other problems connected with re- turn of the roads. I The railway unions have agreed to work in concert in pressing wage de- I mands and opposing the rail control bill, it was learned. Reports that they had merged or formed "one big union," were flatly denied. The or ganizations preserve their separate identities. Gompers Writes to Wilson. j Labor's opposition to the railroad bill will be set forth, according to present plans, in a letter to President Wilson signed by Samuel Gompers, 1 president of the American Federation of Labor. This communication was being framed today at a meeting at tended by Gompers, B. M. Jewell, head of the federation's railway department, and officials of the big railway unions. This letter itself, or a separate state ment of labor's attitude, may be made public late today. i Following publication of the letter, labor leaders say they will marshal their friends in congress for battle on the bill which is come up in the house Saturday and in the senate next week. Labor leaders today called the bill a "htodge podge" despite the fact that it sets up tribunals for wage disputes minus any compulsory feature. One clause, however, provides for introduc tion of wage disputes before these tribunals thru petition by 100 "un organized" employes. This, leaders say, is a discrimination against organ ized labor.

"From present Indications I expect the treaty will be in the campaign," said Hitchcock. Hitchcock views injection of the pact into the coming political fight with composure. The possibility that President Wil son might take the treaty out of poll- w ,.,i.i,ir.io. n v. by senate Democrats to be quite as re mote as that Senator Lodge might sur render on Article 10. Climax of l ight Delayed. Indications today were that the sen ate will spend much more time on the treaty. Illness of Senator Lodge may prevent further discussion of it this week. If Lodge is well enough to be first quest, on withdrawal, may come within a short time. Article 10 reservation is next in or der and L.odge contemplates asking that It go over until all other ouestions have been disposed of. This may bring the whole matter to a climax, for Hitchcock Intends to suggest immedi ate settlement of Article 10. This, many senators believe, would mean a quick demonstration that compro mise and ratification are Impossible. However, should Ixidge be absent and the treaty lie dormant, It Is almost oertnin to be disnlaced next Monday or early in the week by the conference 1. ..ilrna 1.111 (Inf. Ik. treaty Is sidetracked In favor of some thing else, it will probably not be re vived, at least not until the pressing appropriation legislation of the session has been disposed of. By that time the senate will be ready to adjourn for the political conventions. Into Politics Now. With the treaty generally conceded to be in politics, there was considera ble discussion today of the purpose of Lodge in moving to amend the withdrawal reservation so MS to allow. the president alone, without the assent of congress, to give notice of the with drawal of the United States from the League of Nations. Some senators suggested Lodge might have had in, mind the coming Republican conven tion when he wrote that amendment. At that convention, senators expect a determined effort will be made by the Republican "bitter "enders" to have a plan written either condemn ing the League of Nations or pledg ing the party to make withdrawal from the league as easy as possible. Lodge, It was suggested, might be trying to forestall Sen. Hiram John son, a "bitter ender".and one of the most vigorous aspirants for the Re publican nomination, by "stealing his political thunder" thru this amend ment.

A congres sional Inquiry to determine exactly what steps should be taken to meet any future emergency caused by seri ous and lonR continued Illness of the chief executive probably will result from the action of Representative Fess, Ohio, in Introducing in the house a "presidential disability amendment to the constitution."

Newton Thompson Wants World To Know About Tanlac "Giving; a. statement to be published In the papers is something new for me," said Newton Thompson, a struc tural Iron worker, living at 114 North Van Buren street. Topeka, Kansas, "but Tanlac has done me so much flood that I am willing for the whole world to know it. "Why, I had fallen off on account of indigestion and other troubles," he explained, "until I was nothing but a frame as compared to what I used to be. When I first got Tanlac I only weighed one hundred and seventeen pounds and had not been able to put in regular time at my work in two years. I had no appetite and could eat nothing but what soured, causing a sickening sensation, intense pains in my stomach and such awful spells of bloating and palpitation of the heart that I could hardly gpt my breath. My j back paineo me fearfully and my kid- I neys and nerves disturbed me so at; night that it was hard for me to get any sleep. I tvas constipated the worst kind and so weak and dizzy at times 1 couldn't walk across the room with out hrlp. "I finally began taking Tanlac from hearing so many people talk about it, but the first bottle didn't seem to help me much and I thought of giving it up. But then 1 concluded there must be something to it, or so many people wouldn't say it had helped them. So I stuck to it and am certainly glad I did for it has really and truly made me feel like a new man. I did not feel any great difference until I had fin ished my third bottle, but since then I have been eating like a wolf and have actually gained twenty-eight pounds. "I now weigh one hundred and forty five pounds and am still gaining both in weight and strength every day.. My stomach and kidneys are both in good shape, my ains are gone, and my nerves are calm and steady. My wife also took Tanlac after a spell of influ enza and it was just wonderful how she regained tier lost weight and strength. Tanlac has done my wife and myself both so much good that I want to pass the good news along."

Such action is favored by Representa- tive Volstead, Minnesota, chairman of !th judiciary committee. Democrats Fear rolitics. Democrats apparently believe Fess's amendment is more of a political move with the view of reflecting upon the recent Illness of the president than an endeavor to meet any emerg ency and for that reason hopes for the approval of his or any similar plan at this session of congress appear slight. A two-thirds of both houses is necessary for the amendment. Fess is chairman of the Republican con gressional committee. Another Bill Introduced. Another bill to deal with a situation arising from the inability of a presi dent to transact his duties was intro duced today in. the house. Representative Madden, Republican, Illinois, offered a measure empower-1 inpr the cabinet to determine when a president is disabled. Like other similar measures intro duced yesterday, it would not be ap plicable to President Wilson, as it would not become effective until next March 4. Mr. Madden's measurs pro poses that after a president had been unable for six weeks, thru physical disability or absence from the country to perform his duties, the cabinet could declare the. disability and crtll upon the vice president to act. The vice president would remain in office until the -cabinet should declare the president's disability ended. Mr. Madden said ha was moved to introduce his bill because Mr. Wilson had established a precedent In con tending that cabinet meetings could not be held without his order and that definite laws on the subject were desirable. SALE IS STOPPED Temporary Injunction Against Hun Ship Auction Granted. Legislation to Hold War Prizes in Congress Soon. Washington, Feb. 19. A temporary injunction against the sale of ex-German pasaengrer liners by the United States shipping board was granted to day by Justice Bailey of the District of Columbia court. Hearings on the question of making the injunction permanent will be held later, probably some time next week. Bailey declared that present laws showed no intention on the part of congress to grant to the president or any of his appointees power to sell the ships. This Question. Bailey said, was me sole one raised by the government in opposition to the application for the Injunction. Advocates of government ownersnip of the merchant marine were called today before the senate commerce committee which is investigating the proposed sale of German liners. Legislation which will give to the government permanent power to pre vent transfer or American snips to ior elgn flags and appropriations to guar antee operators against Joss If they keep vessels in trades allocated by the board, are expected to be sought in congress within the next few weeks. Chairman Payne of the shipping board announced that an appeal from the temporary injunction order would be filed immediately. Meantime he said it was expected that Mr. Hearst would be required to furnish bond to protect the board against loss by rea son of the ships lying idle. Refuse Hoover's Name on Ballot. Lansing.

Side Lines Slumped First, Says Bureau of Markets. PRICE DROP COMBS SOON Decrease in Export to Force Decline, Says Packers. So Far Meats Show Drop Only Five Cents. of Chicago, Feb. 19. Prices of meat) expected to tumble the early part of 1920, have not started their down ward trend yet, according to figures compiled today by the United States bureau of markets here. The only drop in either wholesale or retail prices of meats during the last year came early last autumn, accord ing to the bureau's reports. At that time the wholesale prices declined suf ficient to a!lrw a, general drop of about 5 cents a pound in all except the best grades of pork and beef. Practically the only pork product to show a marked decline since -January 1, according to the bureau, is lard, which is now selling cheaper than the majority of the vegetables substitutes. Lard Down, Meat Up. In order to make up for the decline in lard quotations, packers were forced to raise prices on cuts for which the greatest demands were made, the bu reau reported. Comparative wholesale prices of meats furnished by the bureau follow: Jan. -i, 1020 Feb. IS, 1920 Good beef X20 to "23 M8.50 to $21.00 Cows M5 to $16 $14.50 to $111.50 Fork loins to 24MrC -ue to ;tc Sliouldera .....We to iOVjc 20c to S2c New Drop Predicted. The general opinion voiced by both packers and butchers was that a sharp decline In meat prices could" be ex pected as a result of the lack of ex port demand. However, the surplus in this country is not sufficient yet to force any marked drop, they stated. Packers reported they were still killing some hogs and cattle which they could obtain at market prices and were keeping lull crews of trained men at work. Some unskilled laborers were laid oft during January and the early part of February by the packing plants because of a gradual "slowing down" but the total, they reported, was small in proportion to the number employed.

London. Feb. 19. Press opinion upon President Wilson's Adriatic not had veered again today. Newspapers pointed out Wilson cannot expect to dictate European policies unless he carries out tha responsibilities he un dertook at Paris. Interest in the AdriaUc situation was heightened rather than diminished by news that the allied reply had been received in Washington. In every quarter there were indications that the government and public are waiting with anxiety the reaction In the Amer ican capital to the allied communica tion Meantime, the.-e was a press attack upon the council of premiers' attitude in refusing to make public tne text of either of the notes. Newspapers demanded publication, declaring the situation was of such delicacy that the people were entitled to know every move. "America's claims to dictate the form of settlements in which she re fuses to co-operate in giving practical security cannot fail to provoke resent ment," "the Pall Mall Gazette asserted. The 'Evening Standard thought President Wilson "may be jusUfied in intervention," but only if ho intends to carry out fully the promises he made in Paris. The allies will be compelled to an swer before the court of public opinion of brusnueness in their dealings with the United States, the Dally Mail de clared. The London Times, after re citing editorially reports of modifica tions in the original text of the allied reply and the pleas of Viscount CJrey and others for a less brusque tone in the 'allied communication, warned against any harsh stand in allied deal ing with the American government.

LUCY BROWX ASKS DIVORCE. Also Sues to Keep Husband From De stroying Warranty Decxl. A restraJninir order to fn inln l-.hn Drown from destroying a warrantv I deed to their property which she says ne gave ner on tneir weouing day as a condition and consideration for mar riage, was asked in a petition for di vorce filed today in the district court by Mrs. Lucy Brown. The Browns live at the north edge of the town on Blaine street. Mrs. Brown says when her husband handed her the deed for the property the day they were married, she re turned it to him to place in escrow in the Shawnee State bank. Now. she says, he threatens to destroy the deed and move all his personal property away, or sell it. The wife charges Brown with ex treme cruelty, asserting that he has cursed and abused her and called her vile and vulgar names. He has an uncontrollable temper.' is constantly sullen and angry, and insanely Jealous, she says. She charges that he ha.s failed to provide for her properly and that during their entire married life of sixteen months he has given her only $15 and one dress. She has had to take in washings to earn clothing and other necessities, she declares. She says Brown has plenty of money and property, that he is an able bodied man and makes good wages. They own a five-room cottage and the twelve lots w here they are living north of the city, she says, but she owned all the household furniture before they were married. She asks the court to grant her a divorce, the res toration of her maifien name of Lucy Langdon, and that she be decreed the owner of their property. BOYS HOB A POOL HA IX. Tobacco Found in Possession of Three Youngsters. Pipes, tobacco and plenty of "mak in's" fori smokes were found in the possession of three small boys arrested today by the police, charged with bur glarizing the pool hall of Jack O'Harra, 110 Seward avenue, Wed nesday night. The boys gave their names as Wil liam LaMott, Tom Mitchell and Edgar Staerkel, all about 12 years old. They declared that they saw a man coming out of the pool hall and that they opened the door and went in. They denied breaking in. declaring the man left the door unlocked. A .-window on one side of the building was found broken and the story told by the boys was partially verified by a pair of large doves found inside. The case was under investigation today. CKMEM FREEZES IX BUILDING. Second Floor of New Inics Building To Be Tom Out. Freezing of cement in the new Imes building at Eleventh and Kansas tias necessitated the tearing out of prac tically all the concrete of the second floor, according to A H. Imes. The damage will create a loss of about 18.000. Rapid extreme changes in tempera ture make it impossible for concrete to dry uniformly and correctly. Re cent temperature changes so affected newly poured concrete as to require the work to be takei out and done over. Freezing weather does not af fect work of this character, it is said, provided the cold continues until con crete has had time to set. Workmen have already begun to tear out the second floor concrete. The arrival of spring and more certain weather will tend to hasten the construction of the Imes building. McGIFFKRT STILIi IMPROVES.

If not the most daugerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all. drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter thlo acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine: the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the slfin pores are closed thua forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fall to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and cir culating through the system, eventu ally settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon ful -in a glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each morning for a week. This Is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, effervescent lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well. Adv.

Frederic J. lias kin, Director, Washing ton. c. An eastern banking house suggests that outstanding war securities issued by the government be refunded by the issue of 100-year bonds, bearing In terest of 5 per cent. Such a course would carry a measure of Justice to the 20,000,000 persons who subscribed' to the war loans which carried an inter est rate below that of other gilt-edged securities such as municipal bonds, for instance. The proposed new bonds probably would restore the outstand ing" issues to par. They would also place the war burden on future gen erations. At 5 per cent the bonds would he worth no more as an Income producer than a 3 per cent was worth before the tar. The senate seems determined to let the war go on. but since the hostili ties are bloodless, perhaps no great harm will result. The allies have Jjen compelled to hack down on their demand for the Burrem'KT of the former kaiser and other IJun criminals. The situation Is best described by that homely phrase: They bit off more than they could chew. Hetreat having begun prob ably will be extended to other matters in connection with the peace terms. It dally becomes more apparent that much that is involved "in the treaty should have been left in the hands of Marshal Foch. Enforcement Of its terms is becoming a farce. HOLLAND AND WIIHELM. An editorial article appearing In the Minneapolis Tribune seeks to prove that Holland, In refusing to surrender the former kaiser to the allies, la en tirely within her rights and la fully justified by international law. It is pointed out that the laws and customs of all nations have always afforded to criminals certain rights of refuge from prosecution, whether threatened by personal enemies or by the sov ereign state- Itself. Continuing, the Tribune says: The modern law of extradition Is only an adaptation of the ancient right of asylum. Where no extradi tion' treaty exists between two nations there is no moral or legal obligation upon either to deliver up to the other a criminal .charged with any crime, however heinoi's, and under an extra dition treaty between two sovereign na tions there is only that obligation for tffcliverance of the fugitive from Justice which is expressly provided in the treaty nnd, if delivered, the criminal can be tried only for the crime speci fied in the requisition for deliverance. Moreover, such crime must be one committed after the inception of the trenty obligation: and it must be a malum prohibitum under the statutes of the demanding country enacted be- w i i tun' in. mil- vfc in. iiiiriipv uim kcu, A Among all nations, independent of trusty or local statutory law, the prin ciple Is" recognised and enforced, that there Is no moral or legal obligation to extradite any fugitive who is charged with a crime which, in the Judgment of the country of asylum, is of the class of "political crimes." such 8 those of insurrectionary plots and violence, those ns rebellion and revolution, and other offences of a "political" nature, even tho accompan ied by acts which, under the law of the complaining nation, would amount to treason. or murder. v The.e established principle of right wof sanctuary to fugitives from Justice, as between nations, are significant in connection with the demand of the al lied powers f Kurope upon Holland to give up the person of Wilhelm Hoherreollern- to trial and punishment for the off'-nes charged against him by Article 227 of the Treaty of Ver sailles. Holland was not a party to that treaty. Some of the offenses charged naainst William were prohih ited oy the provisions or The Hague conference of 1899 and confirmed by later conference of 1807, but Germany ceased to be bound by that conference even years after its date, or before any of the offenses charged in' the in dictment of the allied powers. Moreover, before the Versailles treaty. Including the Indictment of the kaiser In Article 227. was written, Wil liam had taken up his asylum under the protection of neutral Holland. There has been no treaty of extradition for him or or his offense between Holland and any of the allied power9. So tar as Germany is concerned, tha acts charged against William ware not, at, the tirrae of their commlswon, crimes, either within the jurisdiction ot Girmany or within that of any of the other countries of Europe. He is charged as a crtmina.1, not by a treaty between Holland and the allies, but by Article 227 of tha Versailles treaty between the allies and Germany. Thus, under established principles of international law, however repug nant eithejr the personal or construc tive acts of the kaiser may be a gal a at the moral sense of the society of na tions,, including Holland herself, there is no moral or legal obligation upon the part of Holland to deliver up to the allies, or to any of them, tha for mer kaiser. RBJTTKXIXG THE RAILROADS. The compromise railroad bill, agreed upon in conference. If passed and signed by tha president, will be the first constructive railroad legisla tion enacted in years. The outstand ing feature Is that rate-making Is no longer left to the Interstate commerce commission's Judgment. The commis sion is instructed as to a minimum be low which It must not go, and which will yield 6 per cent on the aver age property values In the respective districts. This Is a distinct advance in railroad treatment, says the Bache Keview, and eventually should have a markedly favorable effect upon rail road securities. It may not. restore railroad credit to any such extent as will allow the new financing of the roads, so badly needed, and which, if put Into effect, would restart the busi ness of the whole country and fully provide for any falling demand from export trade, cut off by adverse, ex change rates. But the prospect of fur ther beneficial legislation exists,, and may result If legislators are educated to the country's needs by a slowing down of general business and less de mand for labor. While the so-called railroad prob lem Is Intricate and difficult, the par ticular phases which congress Imme diately must solve are comparatively plain and simple. The government, for Instance, is pledged to return the railroad systems to their former own ers in as good condition as they were when taken over to meet the war emergency. The simple duty of con gress In the matter is to provide, by legislation accompanying the act of restoratioin some form of financial guarantee which shall enable the rail roads to carry the burden which two years of government operation have imposed on them. It Is not necessary for congress, In other words, at this moment to solve the railroad problem in all its angles. It is riot even desir able that at this Juncture congress should eet about a new series of gov ernmental experiments In control and management. If the purpose be to reestablish railroad operation as a private enter prise which apparently is the mind of the nation the essential thing is to givo such enterprise a fair chance to work out its own problem of salva tion, and so far as Is consistent 'with the protection of public Interest, to take off the hands of government interference. Railroad credit has been at so low an ebb that the roads have been un- atle to keep pace with the growth of the country. In the industrial centers of New England, the New Jersey eh virons of New York, the Philadelphia district and Pittsburgh, the manufac turing capacity has Increased all the Way from 120 per cent to 400 per cent since 1914. The railroad facilities of these districts have not grown in mileage since 1910, while, in relative efficiency of equipment there has been a falling off. Pittsburgh coke producers have been willing to sell their output at $6 per ton at a time when consumers only a short distance away could not buy coke at $12 per ton, simply be cause of a transportation tangle that never would have developed except for the Injection of politics into the railroad situation. Manufacturers in their desperation have paid ten, twenty and In some cases as high as fifty times the current freight rate to get material delivered by auto truck. By paying the increased cost they could get delivery in two days, while by the railroad It might take a month or more. Time was more precious than money. All these costs are added' to the price of living. They are not neces sary additions. They represent waste. They represent duplication of effort and an unnatural competition. The railroads should haul the freight of the country. The burden should not i be shifted onto the comparatively new automotive Industry. The latter Is more efficient merely because it has not felt the paralyzing hand of regu lation. Suppose a business man, say, a man ufacturer of some "necessary article, has been accustomed to make a profit of a hundred thousand dollars a year; he suddenly finds 'that he is to be taxed thirty-five thousand dollars on that profit; and as he does no want to make any 4ess net income and as he cannot escape paying the tax he strives to obtain a larjer profit than, before, in other words, to make a profit of II. (0 or more where he was making 11.00, so that he may meet the accumulating surtaxes on the larger amount and still at least get his former profit. He does this and passes the article with the price "so loaded on to the wholesaler or Jobber who, facing the same situation, meets it the same way, and the experience Is repeated when the article reaches the retailer, so that by the time it reaches the retail counter it has been loaded three times to meet the taxes of the three classes ot traders. This Is what is called profiteering, but responsibil ity for It reaches back to the govern- ment, which shares In the proceeds; TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HASKUT, Director. Washwcton, D. O. THE PAT OP XEACHERS. i Washington, D. C'Feb. 1. That1 the American school system Is In dan gef of literally going to. pieces. If the pay of teachers la not raised sub stantially, and Immediately, la the opinion of the best educators all over the country. Teachers as a class are thoroly dis gusted with making over old clothes, and. living in third floor hall bed rooms, while they wait for the coun try to wake up and show appreciation of their work. They are too proud to strike. The only way out of an impassible situation, they find, is quietly to give up their chosen pro fession, and that Is what the best teachers in the country are doing by thousands every month. In New York state over 1,000 rural schools are closed for want of teach ers, and this condition is repeated in other states. The nation's teaching army of 650,000 lost 145,000 members last year, most of those who resigned being experienced teachers, the kind from which mothers like thier chil dren to learn. Some of their schools are closed. In other cases the vacan cies have been filled by young girls with no professional training some without even high school diplomas. "The people of the United States," says Ernest L. Thurston, superintend ent of the public schools of Washing ton, "do not understand how vitally they are concerned in this school problem. The other night, when I wa3 speaking before a body of citi zens, I asked them if they realized that their children will be taught less well next year, and the year after that, and If they understood that fewer courses will be offered In the high schools unless something is done to attract competent men and women hack- to the schools. Apparently they did not. Before the meeting was over, however, they were alive to the personal side of the proposition. They began to see that adequate pay for teacners was a desirable thing from tne standpoint or the citizen and tax payer. The school teacher probably sees more or tne child during its active waking Hours than its mother does, and she has nearly as great an Influ ence on its character and ideals. So that if the Children of today and to morrow are to be taught by young girls who carelessly take up teaching until thoy find something better, or because they are not .mentally equipped to do higher paid work, we can only expect a lower class of citi zens in the next generation." Mr. Thurston believes congress can materially help the national campaign for better paid teachers. "Congress," said Mr. Thurston, "controls the pay of teachers in the national capital, and when congress fixes the wage scale for the teachers of the District in the bill now pending, it will show the entire country Just how It evaluates the teaching profession." Where the legislators stand on the matter of teachers' pay. it is not easy to prophesy. So far, no great cham pion of the teachers has arisen to de fend their rights, in the present con gress. The mind of congress is di vided between a vairue understanding that something ought to be done, and its well defined ideas of economy. The result, probably; will be a compromise between the $1,500 minimum which the teachers, ask. and the present pay scale that is wrecking the morale of the schools. The action of congress on this bill will set an example for the states, and will have somewhat the effect of a supreme court decision on other bodies that consider advances for teachers. If congress does not meet the demands of the Washington teach ers, the shortage will grow more and more acute, until in the end strenuous measures will be needed to bring the schools back to any semblance of the old time efficiency. It is no longer a matter of offering the teachers a living wage, Mr. Thurs ton believes, but the country must at least give proper recognition to a pro fession that is the very foundation of national life. Raising the teacher to tho pay of an elevator boy or a lunch room waitress might have relieved the difficulty once. Now the situation has gone so far that the best teachers see no future in their work, and can be held in the service or called back to it only by much larger increases than have hitherto been offered. No one can blame the teachers Tor giving up what every one knows is a hard life and a ridiculously poorly paid one. The stories of teachers pay are equalled in no other profession, unless. perhaps, the ministry One of the newest stortes on this old theme is that of a little high school girl in a South Carolina town. This girl had been studying' shorthand as an elective course for several months. when a business man asked her to go into his office at $1,200 a year for teaching this and various other sub jects. The difference between the pay of teachers and office workers im so great ,4 AZ "T ;;n,b v stable and durable and economical the stenographers," discounting entire- ly the fact that a business college turns out a stenographer in six or eight months, while it takes a two or three years' normal coure to make an eiiicient teacner. The governor of North Carolina has started a campaign in behalf of the teachers of his state in which Jie de mands equal pay for teachers and stenographers. "But how much pay do the steno graphers get?" protested one states man to whom the comparison sug gested unheard of salaries for teach ers. "It doesn't matter how much they get," retorted the governor, "teach ers are certainly worth as much, whatever it Is." As a matter of fact, the pay of the teachers of the state will be doubled if the governor carries his point, and even then the teachers will not enter the wealthy class. In Ohio, Governor Cox has issued a proclamation for the week of February 15-21 to be "Teachers' Week." when our churches, clubs, and other organ izations, are to consider the problem of bringing the schools up to a higher standard. Ohio needs 2,000 trained teachers immediately. "What Ohio's 1.000,000 school chil dren willbe twenty years from now, depends largely upon what we do for them now," is Governor Cox's argu ment. "No civilization ever rises higher than the quality of the schools." Meanwhile, Washington, with one of the most serious shortages of teach ers anywhere, awaits the pleasure of congress. The district presents the problem of Coleridge's Ancient Ma riner, who lamented that there was "Water, water, everywhere, nor drop to drink." Washington is full of school teachers who entered the em- ploy of the government in war time and who would now return to teach ing if they could aee any prospects of a square deal. Mr. Thurston states, that for four months last year he re ceived an average of one hundred ap plications every day, and that of the one-hundred he had difficulty in get ting one applicant to consider the en trance salary offered. As the teaching force diminished the attendance in the district schools has increased at an amazing rate; so that what would be a congested condi tion with plently of teachers, becomes a critical situation when teachers are not to be had There has never been tnT daneer of the teachers atriklflg. They have not the aggressive attitude that skilled rabor can assume, and, furthermore, they know that publlo opinion would turn against them as it did in the case of the Boston policemen, bo they drift into the more remunerative fields of trade and Industry. "The profession of teaching may be a sacred one," said an ex-teacher, "but really, one can't live on a halo. "The public still keepa its hands in its pockets and shouts. 'Long live the teachers!' she added. "And teachers everywhere are still asking, 'On what?" Now, it aeems, the public will have to answer, if it expects its children to grow up with any education at all. Of course, there will always be some untrained people who will teach for next to -nothing. But these peda gogues whose services can be had cheap are not a good bargain. "Born teachers" are fewer than people im agine, and always they are better in structors if they receive professional training. We have passed, or should have passed, the time when anybody pould teach, when teachers assigned lessons and heard them and considered their work done. Nowadays we want our children taught not only to read and write, but to think and to become good citizens. The best investment that parents can make,for their chil dren is to insure them good teachers, and good teachers will not be avail able unless they are paid 4n propor tion to the service they render. Dorothy Dix Talks BT DOBOTHT DIX World's Big-heat Paid Woman Writer. Tho Study of Mankind 1. According to the newspapers the high brow ladies of a western city have organized a club far the study of Man. These wise dames, it appears.' hold that the reason that women have so little luck in capturing husbands now adays, and so much trouble in keeping them, even after they are corralled in the matrimonial fold, is because woman has never made a scientific study of man. So they are going to delve Into the mysteries of the mighty masculine in tellect, and attempt to classify, and diagram, and explain the why and wherefore of the peculiarities of the masculine character. We may well wish these Intrepid explorers success in their undertaking, and trust that their findings will be of profit to the balance of their sex. Certainly they have their -work cut out for them, for the mind of man works in a strange, mysterious way its wonders to perform, especially' when the performance has to do with man's relationship to woman. .-v But, as a matter of fact, -the idea of woman studying the psychology of man is no new thing. In an unscieiv tifio and amateurish and in a purely personal and practical way the study of man has been woman's principal occupation, and business, and source of livelihood ever since the days of the Garden of Kden. And whether she supped on bread and butter or cakes and ale, and whether she wore para dise plumes in her hat or a last year's bird's nest on her head, has depended on how cleverly she mastered her sub ject, and what working information she obtained. Yet, in spite of the thousands upon thousands of years of intensive study that women have put in upon the-sub-iect of man. they are still in the kin dergarten class, and cannot even yel hazard a reasonably sure guess about what man really likes or dislikes in women, or what his ideal of feminine perfection is, -or even what code of conduct he eVesires a woman to pursue. For men's theories and their per- f m-ma nnoa wh.m wnraen Am con- i cernld seldom Jibe. They talk one wav and act another and hence a wo man never knows whether to aim at a man's head, his heart, or hi fancy. Suppose a girl desires to dress to please men, for instance. What shall she wear? All men are practically a unit for national dress for women. Listen to men talk, and with one voice thy de plore the time- and money, and energy that creatures with Immortal souls spend in adorning their bodies. It shocks them that women should follow every fool fashion. They are scandalized at the thinness of wo men s bodies where tnree layers oi chiffon are supposed to do duty for a waist, and horrified at the shortness of their skirts. Their idea of a truly admirable dress for a woman is some thing thick and warm, that comes up high in the neck and is long in the skirts, and that is loose, and comfort- and I i"ai js that is accompanied by roomy, flat py" lul9, DT wheeler Syadlcat 1 inc.i es.

And the past for John spelled Julia Standish slim, brown-eyed Julia Standieh, a girl well worth doing one's utmost to win. And he had been so sure of win ning, Julia had almost said the little word "yes, when suddenly "she had become infatuated, obsessed with the Idea that her place in life was not destined to be the presiding genius ot a man's humble home, but the ad mired favorite of moving picture audiences. "Plague take the moving pictures!" had cursed John unreason ably ever since. Nor had he once in the days that followed ever patronized that popular amusement which he blamed for coming .between him and the fulfillment? of his dreams. Tonight her words rang as insistent ly in his ears they had the -moment she uttered them. "No, John, I can not marry anybody yet. X must try my luck. Perhaps, some day, I may change my mind when I have made good!" And her eyes shone with the hope that thrilled her. But John, bruised and hurt, had thrust aside the implied suggestion. rudely1. "Your success, Julia, will never bring me 'to your feet. Aban don this crazy scheme and become my wife, or else you go yoy way and I mine lonely as I know my way will be," .he concluded bitterly. Julia, her pretty head for once com pletely turned, had gone her way gone somewhere where gifted aspir ants for the cinematograph were trained and starred and paid fabulous salaries and featured in Sunday sup plements with chic French maids and tiny Pekinese at least, he hoped it waa to be that way with Julia. If he couldn't have her for his own, he still did. not wis her unhappiness. Wrapped in meditation over what might have been, John found -himself brought up short before a lurid ad vertising board of the Medford Rialto a brightly lighted little threater at tracting the crowd. For a second, his eyes took in the cheap advertisement uninteresed. Then the huge letters of the name of the actress portrayed startled him from his musings. Gloria Blaine! Gloria! Why Gloria had been the name that Julia had hinted she would like to adopt for hers. She was sick of ohl plain "Julia!" But the carmined faced woman pictured beneath in motley raiment bore no likeness to his delicate featured girl. Strangely drawn by the subtle in fluence of the name. John took his stand at the end of the waiting queue before the ticket office. And, pres ently, a dingy bit or pasteboard ad mitted him to the gloomy depths within. -A. farce, broad In its humor, was be ing projected on the screen. Then fol lowed instructive travelogues and amusing animated cartoons, thru which John sat, mildly entertained. At length, lavishly featured, was In troduced the big picture, "The Ulti mate Cost." Curious, in spite of himself, John scanned the picture of the cast. When the close-up of the star, was thrown he sat back in his chair at ease. That was not his-Julia, even tho- he fancied he could trace a slight resemblance. Two years will not change the shape of one's nose or lengthen an upper lip. Relieved John found himself watch ing a group of people waiting the an nouncement of dinner and discussing some apparently well-known scandal then the entrance of the footman, announcing new arrivals and pre sently, tho appearance in the doorway of a woman in evening gown, pearls gleaming on her neck John gripped the arms of his chair with whitened fingers. He leaned forward, his ex pression intense. That woman must be Gloria Blaine. But it was not it was emphatically not. That woman was Julia, Julia Standish. Thru the long nerve-wearing play, John forced himself to sit from the disagreeable scene where Gloria flirt ed shamelessly with the villain thru to the bitter denouement the whole of it a tawdry play. If he winced wnen tne villain s arms held th. gin ne. had hoped fo hold some day, he made no outward signs. After all, it wasn't real.

CHAPTER 34. 4 Jane and Betty came into the shop thm of her plan. I,had not be- lieeed her in earnest until then. But I began to see she really meant to try to keep house for herself even if it were on a most limited scale. ."You see I am sick to death of liv ing the way I do!" she declared. "I don't blame any man for giving his wife the goodbye, signal who makes him live in a boarding house all his lite. I may get tired of It. Gerry says I will, but I am going to try it if it is the last thing I ever do. "I think you are doing right, Mary. You'll have a lot of fun. and perhaps make a lot of mistakes at first. But if you can find a cozy place that does n't cost too much, so you won't be worried because of the expense: there is noting like having a place of your own. Jane and I both tried boarding Jane even after .she was married but you have the right idea. Get place all your own, do as you like in It, and be happy and independent. I had listened quietly until' then. The 'girls evidently did not know I had heard. Now I said: "I don't see but that Mary does as she likes where she is." "Yes, but it is so different." Jane remarked, turning to me. "You know I was hard to convince, I taught after I was married because I hated to give up my position, and my salary. But I wouldn't go .back for anything not .unless Carson were sick and couldn't support me." "I should think you might have gone righf on teaching. Your hours aren't long in the schools," I objected. "They aren't long perhaps to the observer, but a successful school teacher has to do' av great deal at home. Much of her school work is planned and arranged out of school hours. I found I could not be a godd wife, not what Carson. wanted, when my time ajid thoughts were upon ev erything save him. Men may be self ishI guess they arc,ven the best of them; but when I saw that Carson was unhappy, disappointed in me be cause I would not give up my work "Would you takfe a chance of another kind as as my wife?" Julia's eyes filled." "John dear, af ter making you lose the years of hap piness which would have been ours, is it possible that i on still love me "Why," said John tenderly, "having lost so much time already, isn't that a good reason for wasting no'more?" And Julia, "unresisting as his strong arms drew her close, evidently agreed. "I'm glad you came," she said, Then added vehemently, "I never want to hear the name of Gloria again. For ever after.M'm Just plain 'Julia!" "Not plain!" whispered John, tipping back the tired face made beautiful by love. (Copyright, 19M, bT'flie MeClure News paper Syndicate.)

"The battle for suffrage has been won," Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt is quoted aa saying. It has gone further than that. The armistice has been signed. Kxcept for the trtfling cir cumstance ot persuading the women tojto to the polls, teaching them how to mark their ballots and telling them how to vote, little remains to be done. Suffrage stands in close relation to prohibition in the respect that the row has just started. Elaborate plans have been laid by those who guide the destiny of politics to capture the lady vote. If were in politics, which thank goodness we are not, nothing would worry-us less. We made an extensive study of woman in the act of functioning at the polls while a resident of the suffrage belt. The lady vote splits in about the same proportions as the gent vote. The lady vote reacts to the same influence. We never knew it to be decisive in an elec tion. The reason is obvious enough: The influences which guide and direct a gent In the expression of his moods and prejudices are equally forceful to his lady. We hope we have not wearied you.

I am the ruler In a kingdom where hands, and feet, and eyes. -and brain, cells, and a heart, exchanire courtesies and ask favors of no man. I am the handler of Jobs, both great and smnll. I am an observer. I am made of clay, tho held to gether with mixtures of the rarest im port. Generations are In my veins.V Dead eges teem their silent echoes thruout the walls of my frame. I em not easily understood, tho I am easily handled, A little child could lead me. I am Invariable, for I like what Is the common liking of all. I often walk thru other people's houses sometimes without "akli;g. And so rto they likewise with me. It should be that way. Wr all hold elements of the very worst and the very best within us. I m not -always certain of my course. I believe in asking questions, acknowledging errors and passing on. I am in the employ of the Infinite! I am a believer in the adage of every man;to his own Job but when another can do that Job better than I, then the Jrjj belongs to him. I am what I am but no bigger, better, or more able than I do.

Eat What You Like But Fol low With Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. Mental work uses up energy fast'. And energy comes from food. To eat little or nothing in order to do more work is a fallacy that has created an army of dyspeptics. A better plan is to eat the regular portions of food such as make up the average meal and follow each meal with Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. You will then get a double benefit energy from food and sociability with meals, for as a rule, the. light eater, or those who skip meals, get into a bad habit, a rut. of hermit-like isolation. Do not be afraid of gassi ness, sour stomach, heartburn, heavy feeling or coated tongue after meals. Stuart's pyspepsta Tablets arouse the Ktomach to secrete the juices neces sary to relieve these troubles that so frequent!,', distress the mental worker. They contain harmless ingredients which act with an alkaline effect, so you may eat the rich things of the banquet or the savory sausage for breakfast with utmost freedom. Get a 50-cent box of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets at any drug store, eat freely of what you like and you will do more and better work than on a skimpy diet. Try this plan. Adv.

We have devoted our spare evenlnirg ex clusively to them nnd In many other ways endeavored to show our love for them, but thev insist on sen din or us home at an extremely early hour and in many other ways keep their distance. I'lease advise us, is our case hopeless and what may we do to lessen the breach be tween us? WORRIED. Worried: I wish you had told me what you consider an extremely early hour for these girls to send you home. The fact that they permit you to call at all shows their interest. Perhaps they are under the instructions of their parents who know that boys as younsr as you should be at home either studying or getting your rest. ASM 13 LAURIE. Dear Annie Laurie We are two girls in bigta school. We like two boys real well and some times when we happen to meet them thev smile and talk with us, oud other times they barely .speak to us. We are worried1 to know why they act like this and wish you would "advise us. What can w do to draw their attention? We have gone with them a few times and can't understand why they nre like this. BROWN EVES. Brown Eyes: You should not pav too much attention to these boys who persist in alighting you. You sbould not attempt t force your friendship in places where, seemingly, It is not wanted.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1920 FOR R. W. BLAIR Topeka Democrats Would Land Attorney on "Bfg Four." Guy Helrering Seems To Bej Favofite for Goyernor's Kace. Shawnee county Bourbons will tasre a fisht to land It. W. Blair. To peka attorney, as a delegate on the "Big V to the Democratic national convention at Pan Francisco. That was the statement today by Judge V. H. Kemper, well known local Demo crat, on the eve of a meeting of the Shawnee county central committee at the Elks club rooms. The committee will meet this evenin?. Kemper announced that Blair will r.ot only hav individual support of loyal Topeka Hourltons but also would lie the recipient of resolutions drawn in his behalf at the meeting tonight. if such resolutions can be pushed thru the eoromittee. Blair ha beeq loyal to the party colors for years," said Kemper today. "and has enjoyed few of the plums of Democratic success. In addition he is an able mart and a man Kansas would be proud to hare as a repre sentative at- the convention." HelverlnR for Governor. Kemper also predicted an attempt of Kansas Bourbons to put Guy Hel verinsr, former, congressman from Concordia, on th Democratic ticket as a gubernatorial candidate against Gov. Henry J. Allen. Locally, the Democrats under the leaders-hip of A. D. Birch, chairman of the committee, have a faint hope of doinc something at the next' elec tion besides figure how many more votes they needed to win. Republican politicians enjoying of fices in the court house for years con tinue to seek favors at the coming election by running for some other of fice after they have served two, three and four terms as elective officers. The Democrats figure this sort of business is palling on the voters and a strong ticket for a few of the offices may place them in the win column at the nert election unless the Republi cans shake themselves of political leeches at the primaries. s -Birch, as chairman, postponed the committer meetinfr last wek on ac count of the influenza, ban. But further delay is impossible because of tne proximity of the Democratic love feast at Topeka Monday. Other Topekans mentioned as dele gates to the national convention from the First district are: Judgs Kemper, Mayor Herbert J. Corwin and Ralph T. O Neil. A IX APPROPRIATIONS CTT.

Serious fighting between workmen and troops in the industrial region about Genoa Is re ported in a Central News dispatch from Rome -under Wednesday's date.

What It Is and How It Increases Weight, Strength and Nerve Force In Many Instances SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED BY EVERY DOCTOR AND USED IN EVERY HOSPITAL Say$ Editor of "Physicians Who's Who." According, to the first and only report of theit disappearance. they were last heard of as they ac companied the bandit thru the broken window. Jt is not known whether or not they wer wearing B. V. D. as was the bandit or if they, carried with them a road map of Shawnee, county and vicinity. It is -supposed by one of the per sons who anxiously inquire concern ing uetr welfare that the fish took up the trail where the officers of the law left off and fears are expressed that when found the bodies tf the fish will (show violence and that the around about will be trampled and bloody, indicating a desperate battle. Another citfsen is of the belief that the pet fih were implicated in the plots of the criminals and accom panied the bandit hurriedly in order to escape grilling at the hands of the county attorney. Stilt another theory ventured is that the fish are now being kept as souvenirs of the-j occasion by the guests of Sheriff Larimer and are being secretly and highly treasured as mementoes of the first reat raid party they ever at tended. Vnether or not any of these theories will be exploded depends upon the astute detectives who are still engaged in following a -fishy trail. C. OF C. XflKDS LXRGKK ROOMS.

City sk'mU HijrtiJaml Park a Bill tor To'.lay. vTne city water department todaj miijiea a. uiii ui o iu nisnwnu t'ur. for water service for the month of January 10 to February 10. Since the biff meter at the city limits was cleaned and repaired, the city has been able to keep an accurate check on. the Highland I'ark consumption and Fred Painter, superintendent of Topeka piant. said he expected to collect 9200 back payment from the suburb after a Comparison -of -bills for this month and ne.vt with those of previous months. liy this means, Painter hopes to force Highland Park to "come acroM" and guarantee the city of Topeka a $35 minimum for water service. The superintendent holds that Highland Park tditiuld pay a minimum charge, based oil ifs assessed valuation, just the s ime as private consumers. It costs the city that amount to main tain its service to the suburb, accord in? to Painter. Highland Park has a water plant of its own. but-its output is not suffi cient for fire protection, so that city, thru an agreement with Topeka. gets an emergency service from the Topeka plant, to be used when the suburb's plan breaks down or in case of fire.
