to sell their spare products to some

The Bulletin can not but feel that
the working and consuming public
fare entitled to full consideration in
matters of government 1t believes
that they have right to make their
hard-earned dollars go as far as pos
ible in the purchase of the neeessar-
les of life, and that any measures
whose effect would be directly or
Indirectly to abridge that right or
that opportunity, 70 any appreciable
|extent, should he very carefully con
sidered and its effect minimized
Eas much as possible in that direct'
ion.
The Bulletin believes also that the
Retail Merchants association feels
the same way and expect only such
measure of protection as will be rea-
tsonable under the circumstances and
conditions that prevail here.

"cANNoNIsM" BEATEN.

The power of Speaker Cannon has
been shattered. "Cannonsm" is beat
en-, broken and discredited, and the
notable victory of the Insurgents on
Saturday is victory for the people.
Cannon will now be removed from the
committee on rules and the House will
become a self governing body as the
people intended il should be. The Re
publican insurgency and Democratic
opposition have not been due so much
TO the power which the rules vest in
the speaker as TO the arbitrary, auto
cratic and inconsiderate manner in
which that power has been exercised.
The rules were intended TO expedite
the proceedings OF the House and to
members without unjustifiable obstruc-
ton or unnecessary confusion. Prop
erly applied they would deprive no
member of his rights and would not re-
suit in perverting the course of legis-
lation. Cannon not only appointed the
tee on rules, of which he was himself
the chairman, which practically deter
mined the course of legislation. He
was also the dictator of the course of
proceedings in the House.
BY it's action of Saturday the House
has redeemed itself with the people by
asserting itself as the real arbiter of
it's affairs. The majority rules and
will continue to rule. Although re-
tanned as speaker, Cannon, shorn of
power. will now be little more than a
figure head
Some may think it strange that he
was not deposed when the Burleson
resolution to declare his seat vacant
was put to a vote, but the Insurgents
had accomplished that which they set
out TO do and so united with the Reg
ular Republicans to keep him in the
chair. 1t might as wen be Cannon now
as any other man for the House has
made il emphatically known that in
the future it intends to be greater thar
any of its creatures. This move OF
part of the Insurgents is proof enough
that the Republican party i'm the Hous,
is still the responsible party. 1t il
still the party of power. In the future
however, the progressive spirit will b,
uppermost and IL is best illustrated by
the Insurgents who are the real friends
of the people.

WAGES OF TEACHERS.

Boards of education all over Mich
igan should plan to increase the
wages of teachers, declares Moderator
Topics The increased cost OF living
has virtually cut wages fully 80 per
cent during the past two years.
The dollars purchasing lpower has
been reduced TO such an extent that
il is indeed true as the committee of
Detroit teachers say I'm their Salary
Bulletin No 8: "They can no longer
live on the scale 20 which they have
been accustomed and which their po-
sition demands" Consider the small
amount the grade and rural teachers
receive per year-from $3.50 to $500!
Think of il. you men, feed, room clothe
yourself on that sum, and lay by a
fraction for age or pain! Street
sweepers. janitors, and the simplest
sort of manual laborers get better pay
than this: and yet the teacher must
spend from $1,000 TO $500 to fit her
self TO teach. She must be well enough
educated, know how To do the work,
be sane, tempered, a noble ex-
ample i'm morals and manners, neatly
and lastly dressed and in short be
skilled and equipped in making good
citizens for the republic character
builder! II is simply an act of justice
not favor to raise teachers wages.
1t must be done. We cannot afford

ABOLISH THE PUBLIC CUPS.

The action Of the state board OF
health in ordering some device in
stalled in every public school to pro-
vide individual drinking cups, thus do
ing away with the old fashioned com
mon drinking cup, is not likely to meet
with serious opposition for its justice
will be conceded. II Is a matter that
IL would be anticipated local regula-
lions would cover, but it has been dem-
onstrated that in very few cases is II
so covered and the state law Is con-
sequently advisable.
The common drinking cup has long
been preached against and has in
many cases been abolished. II is es-
pccially injurious In the school. where
the germs are easily passed from Lip

some disease drinks from the cup every

Perhaps the most unsatisfactory fea-
ture of the general business situation
is the popular discomfort arising from
present high cost of living, says Hen
~ Clews. For this economy is the on
" true cure. Already the crisis is be-
ginning to work out its own solution
BY checking consumption. The pros
poets are that a very large acreage
win this year be devoted 10 the rails
ing Of food and other agricultural
products; and every farmer will in
crease his output 10 the fullest capa-
city in order 10 get advantage of pres
ent unusual profits. This means a
good demand for agricultural machin-
cry, fertilizers, etc. What with the
chance Of increased supplies of food
stuffs before many months, and the
economies which in many cases neces-
sity will enforce it, would seem as Il
the present economical crisis was at or
pear its apex. and that before long we
shall see a better relation between
supply and demand that will at least
afford some relief from present cir

this is the least harmful part of it.
More serious diseases also are spread

parently, may even seem TO be suff-
ering from a slight cold, merely, and
yet may spread the germs of the di-
sease to others. A child suffering with
an undiagnosed case of tuberculosis
may through the drinking cup pass it
on To her schoolmates.

cup is not "A necessity. There are var
ious methods of doing away with At.
Water fountains are now so construct
