You useful. you whom sickness keeps in

TEACHERS REToRT.
DEAR 9. c. FRIENDS: have just read Mr. Sea-
mans article on modern teachers Now Mr. Sea-
man. when you made that sweeping assertion. did
you realize that majority Of the G. C.'s and
, Guards are teaciiers? You make exception. In
letter OF yours, published some three four
week. ago, spoke of being proud of the friend
ship and good feeling that existed among the
Guards. How long do you suppose this would
last If we al! expressed our opinion all subjects
as freely you did yours on this? true friend
will crticise. but never ridicule.
Why are so many who are teachers holding hon
silly, brainless creatures in the scboo-room, and
sirong-mnded, sensible women from 4 o'clock at
night till the next morning.
Brother Seaman. are these ideHs original. or have
your observations been iimited2 Evidently
you have never been n teacher, you would show
some justice, if not charity After the offensive
way ia which you spoke of us you cannot wond er

Is PROHIBITION FAILURE?
Emma Martins question, in recent TRIBUNE
SIS prohibition fiiiIure?'' has brought forth the
following opinions:
Prohibition "a in force in many States. Is n fail
ure, and for it to become Noioual would only in
crease the liquor traffic. 1t IL also against of

street Reading, Pa.
j say prohibition Is q failure In It's present stale.
We must first prohibit The manufacture of liquor
and then it will be a success; but az long as it is
shipped into towns aud sold by druggists and
physicians it will BIZ failure. / have lived in
Kansas 10 years and in Colorado one. I know
what talking about.-F. g. Harden, 1880
Market street. Denver, Colo.
Yes say prohibition is a failure. It has been
in force in Kansas for III years. and yet there is not
u village of Importance in the State where liquor
cannot he obtained, and in the larger cities here is
n regular system in vogue which is more insdious
than the open saloon. Prohibition does not pro-

upheld by public opinion.-L. L. Heilman, Pleas
anton Pa.
Prohibition Is not failure, but the authorities
that enforce IL are. Prohibition prohibits when it
ia properly enforced. We have other good laws in
stealing, etc.-and these laws
often broken, but is that any reason why should
repeal the laws and call them failures? We must
educate the rising generation to "A high standard
OF true and noble manhood that will despise them
