NINE MONTHS CONTRACT.

THE TEACHERS in the Salt Lake
public schools have organized an
association FOR mutual protection next
year. The chief object Of the associa-
ton is 90 give weight to the demand
for nine months teaching contracts for
next year. The proposition seems to be
an eminentIy fair one. There is hardly
a frst-cIass teacher in the city who
cannot secure employment somewhere
else at good pay for a full school year.
For the board of education to ask
such teachers to accept contracts based
on employment for eight months only is
unreasonable and unjust. We are told
that there is no assurance that Salt
Lake viii be able to give its children
nine months Of school next year. If
this gloomy prediction is well founde I.
the teachers have right to know it.
They should not be asked to remain
here with a certainty Of eight months
and a bare possibility Of one month
more.
But it is certain that the money for
nine months Of school can be raised.
Indeed it must be raised. We
cannot afford to lose the frst-class
teachers, and we certainly will lose
them unless we guarantee them en-
ployment for a term sufficient to en-
able them TO earn reasonable salaries
for the year More we cannot afford
10 turn out children who are only half
baked, as it were, in the educational
line That is. youngsters who have
only a skeleton foundation where they
should have one that is solid and sub
stantial.
1t is entirely probable that # nine
months contracts are given the teach
ers. the board of education and others
Interested viii work more diligently to
raise the necessary money. If they
know the money must be secured it will
be secured. Salt Lake cannot afford to
go backward with its public school sys-
tenn. Neither can It afford to stand
still. for that is almost as bad as retro
erosion

ATIP FOR THOMAS.

HERE IS A TIP for Postmaster
IL Thomas. Many Salt Lakers viii
remember that the postmaster, Senator
II. Kearns and one NJ. Daugherty are
just now busily engaged in game of
'Cashiership. cashiership, who's got
the cashiership?" We don't know what
the outcome is going to be and we don't
care. but we trust the game viii not
be drawn out to the extent of injuring
too much of the public service. But to
the tip in which. our postmaster is in
terested.
The other day, according to a news
paper report, Postmaster General Payne
decided to discharge a man whose wife
is engaged in the manufacture and sale
Of a patent medicine The woman
heard that her husband was about to
be discharged, so she wrote a note to
the postmaster general, which was in
manner and form as follows, to-wit:
Il have never met you, but I have
seen you and admire you. I think if
you would give me an audience of half
an hour and let me gaze into those
beautiful brown eyes of yours, could
convince you that my medicine is one
tlldL II NoiA5 great 6DOu 70 AtuLAle4A
kind"
Mr.. Payne sought counsel from Sec
rotary Of War Root and was advised to
risk at least one eye on the lady. As
the employee is still holding on TO his
job we presume the beautiful brown
eyes business did the work. We sug-
gest that Postmaster Thomas request
permission to gaze into the postmaster
generals beautiful brown eyes" for
couple Of days or so for the purpose of
proving that Daugherty is not qualified
for the Office Of cashier Of the Salt Lake
postohice-
Then it would only be fair for Mr.
Payne to allow Senator 7. Kearns to
do little gazing, followed by Daugh-
erty in the same speciality. Surely such
proceedings ought to fetch immediate
results and so relieve the suspense un-
der which all Of US are laboring. We
therefore move that Mf- Payne be
brought to Salt Lake forthwith and
that the tabernacle be engaged for the
festivities so we can all have an op-
pOrtunity to witness them.

THE SOLDIERS RESPONSIBILITY

CONSIDERABLY HARSH criticism
- of the Pennsylvania supreme court
is being INDUCED in by labor men. The
criticism is based on the courts de-
cision Of a national guardsman who
shot and killed a striker during the in
dustrial disturbance in the anthracite
region last summer and fall.
The soldier had been stationed to
guard a certain point. His orders were
TO shoot any man who attempted to
cross a given line. The man who was
killed came up and started to cross.
The testimony showed that he was
warned by the sentinel several times.
but he persisted. At last the soldier
fired and the striker was killed
The guazdsman was Immediately ar
rested by the civil authorities and in
due course he was tried for murder.
The supreme court has just ordered his
acquittaI on the ground that it is q sol
dier's duty to obey orders; that, there
fore, the private was not guilty Of any
crime whatever when he killed the
striker The chief objection to the de-
ai-i@a Is based on the statement that

"A MESSAGE TO GARCIA.

EOR THE BENEFIT Of those Salt
Lakers who are unfamiliar with
the talent of Ebert Hubbard, who is
to lecture iH the Salt Lake theatre
next Sunday night, The Herald has Sc
cured permission from Mr.. Hubbard to
print next Sunday his famous preach
mene,'' "A Message to Garcia 1t is
well within the bounds Of reason to
say that millions of people have read
this wonderful work. 1t was published
first in Mr.. Hubbard's widely circu-
lated periodical, ''The Phillistfne."
There it attracted the attention OF
George H. Daniels, general passenger
agent of the New York Central rail-
road. So impressed was Mr.. Daniels
that he expressed a desire to place "A
Message to Garcia in the hands Of as
many American citizens as could be
reached. Accordingly he made a spe-
cial arrangement with Mr.. Hubbard
by which 10000 copies Of a little book
containing the message were printed
and distributed.
The supply was exhausted long be-
fore the demand. The pamphlet was
sent to every section of the country
and from every section came requests
for more. It has been some years since
the last pamphlet was given away.
During that time a new crop of read
ers has grown up, readers who will
find help and inspiration in this work
which The Herald believes is the
strongest lay sermon it has ever seen
For this reason and because Of the
fact that many who have already read
the message will want to read it again,
because it can be read and re-read with
profit many times. The Herald feels
that it should be published.

when the killing was done the anthra-
cite region was not under martial law
Indeed, it is declared that It never
was under martial law. This viii be
hard for people who depend upon news
paper reports for their opinions, TO be-
lieve- At one time practically all the
militia in the state Of Pennsylvania was
on duty in the anthracite region. It is
possible that no formal proclamation
regarding martial law was made. but
the fact remains that. to all actual in
tents and purposes the country was
under martial law because It was ruled
by the soldiers.
Now as to the responsibility for the
private's act It would certainly seem
to the casual observer that the private
cannot be blamed for carrying out the
orders Of his superior officer. The army
regulations make it the first duty of the
soldier TO obey his commander. There
are times, of course, when a soldier
must use his own judgment to a certain
extent, and this case may have been Of
that character.
But, speaking generally, the officer is
the man who is praised when the bat
tie is won, and he must shoulder the
responsibility when the battle is lost
The private who Obeys orders with the
precision of an automaton is considered
by majority Of the military authori-
ties to be the best private.
The thing for the Pennsylvania courts
to do is to find out who was the author
Of the order TO kill and then try him
for the killing, for he is the response

Of death, is responsible in other cases
