1.-THE Philadelphia Press is the only morn

Circulation is the basis of advertising value.
A business man should exercise the same cal

mOditieS, The latter demands either specified
quantity, exact measure OF known weight.
A factor OF equal Importance is the quality
OF circulation. 1t is revealed by the character
of the newspaper as a whole, the nature of its
news, its freedom from all forms of vulgarity
and an absence of Objectionable matter In its
advertising columns.
For many years 1.-The Philadelphia Press
has been as distinguished for its high charac-
ter as for its answering fidelity in espousing
the peoples cause.
Its large circle Of readers represent the peo-

Woman School Teachers.

Under the captoin of Love and the
School Teacher" the Kansas City
World has the following sensible and
timely article:
In nearly every city there is rule
that women school teachers shall not
marry. If they do wed they lose their
| jobs. There does not seem to be any
seuse in such rule, and there is ccr-
tainly no justice in it.
Nov comes Kansas. and in a round
dozen counties the order has been pro-
mulgsted that school teachers may not
be permitted to entertain gentlemen
callers.
The average school teacher is bright,
cherry and good-lookirg. If you don't
believe it, go to school teachers con-
vention, and you feel like burdock in
a rose garden.
1T is as natural for young men to
seek beauty and braino as II 10 for flies
to gather about honey. II is not only
natural, but it is right.
"Courting doesn't hurt, Love does
not unfit woman for business. II isn't
a sign Of frivolity.
Society is mighty selfish at times.
1t claims to be broad and liberal and
advanced. but it ia narrow and selfish.
II will not even mind its own business.
1t takes bit of woman, and because
her teeth are white and her checks red
and there are smiles on her lips and
more in her eyes, society shakes its
head and says: Something wrong. That
woman 10 too goodlooklng. Men stare
at her. and she does not get angry. She
laughs right out when she sees or hears
lomething funny, II she teaches our
children she must bar men out, tell ua
her secrets, let us dictate her home as
well as her public life, and she must
stop looking so happy. Doesn I she un-
dcrstand this is serious world for wom-
en?'
"At least, that is the Kansas idea,
and the Missouri idea isn't very much
better.
"In the schools, as in other business
walks. VIC should ask for good morals,
good health and intellectual fitness.
We should insist that teacher be in

ton as has been enacted in England and
is now proposed in France. But there
are those who believe that in some in
direct way pension system for indus
trial veterans may be established.
While this matter is being considered
by organized labor the federal govern
ment is studying the problem of super
annuation in tho civil service, and Sec
retary Mac Vcagh intimatcs that he
will have some pension suggestions to
make in his first report. States and
municipalities are wrestling with pen
sion problems for civil employees, either
designed to extend existing systems or
else to cover new classes of employees.
AS regards private or quasi-public in
dustry, the old age pension movement
is steadily, and by no means slowly,
gaining ground without the spur of leg
islation. The New York Central lines
it is announced, are about to put into
effect an old age pension system for all
of their employees that reach the agc of
70. Manufacturing companies, banks
and other concerns have adopted the
pension feature as guaranty of great
er efficiency and zeal. Security for old
age after life of honest industry is as
necessary as it is just, and where leg
islation is out Of the question self-inter-
est and breadth of mind should lead To
practical measures for such security on
voluntary basis.

tral lines is significant. Who will come

Three Hoboes Take Leg
Bail from Belfast Jail. i
Jump on Turnkey, Knock Him
Down and Run Away.
Same Who Went on Strike Last
Week...AIl Are Soon Captured.

Belfast, Me-, Dec. 21--(SpeciaD.-
About o'clock last night, when the
turnkey at the Waldo county Jail went
to take their supper to them, the three
tramps who struck last week and later
came to terms and Sawed wood"
jumped On him and knocked him down,
making their escape. Sheriff Carleton
was out of town on official business,
but Mrs. Carleton was there and
snatching up a revolver ran out Of
doors and pluckily fired two shots ar
ter the fugitives. 1t was pitch dark,
however, and although the shots thor.
oughly frightened them, neither was
hit. Billy, the bulldog. kept up the
chase and that he waged battle with
them is quite evident by the rents
and tears in the clothing on one OF
them.
The men were evidently lying in wait
for the turnkey, for no sooner had he
unlocked the door than they jumped
OH him. They were clad only in their
underclotiling and the Jail suits of half
and half blue and white drilling, rather
scanty apparel for frosty night, but
the lesser of the two evils to Their
mind. Anything rather than work for
the next so days, for each is coamit-
ted for 50 days and had served but 10.
All went well at the workshop after
the strike was settled until someone
showed them the newspaper accounts
Of the affair. They resented the,ai no
toriety given them and since that's
have been rather sore about WOE ns.
When they broke Jail last night!sis
was thought most likely that they
would make for the railroad line and
this morning Sheriff Carleton started
on a quest up the line. At Thorn
dixie he found that about an hour be-
fore his arrival the three musketeers'
had called at the corner store and Or
dered crackers and cheese. after which
thew had continued on their nike.
Getting a team and driver the Sheriff
started in pursuit. After mile or TWO
he sighted them in the road ahead. but
they discovered him and took to the
woods. They were soon caught ard re-
turned to Belfast on the next train.
One of them had gotten pair OF dark
trousers in his nights travel and when
ne saw BILLY, the bull dog, at the jail
this morning he greeted him with:
swell, Billy. J. guess we had a little
scrap last night. didn't WEI" The legs
of his Jail suit testified to the strength
and tenacity of Eilly's teeth.
Just what punishment Sheriff Carle-
ton will administer to the culprlts IS
not known They will probably be given
enough work to tire them sufficiently
so that when IL comes night they Will
not banker for a constitutional Of Is or
20 miles.
