WOMEN TEACHERS WIN

Governor Dix of New York has
signed the equal pay bill of the wo
men teachers. This crowns a fight
of five years, waged with extraordi
nary valor, ingenuity and persever
ence. The Journal of Education
says
The women teachers of New York
City have won the greatest victory
for women teachers on the salary
question ever known in this or in any
other land. To Grace Strachan be
longs the honor of leadership. Nc

An additional touch of grace is
added to Miss Strachan's work by the
fact that it was wholly disinterested
She is not one of the underpaid teach
ers whose salaries will be affected
by the bill She fought for the 9th

Women and justice-loving men all
over this country, and even in foreign
lands, will rejoice in the victory. Oh

ocALA's COACH THINKS THAT
.. n. s. rs AFRAID
Jacksonville. Fla. Nov. s, 1911

Jacksonville, Fla. Nov. s, 1911.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
In this mornings paper, Prof. VIII
bur, coach for the Duval High School,
inserted his reason for not playing
Ocala football here Saturday, the 4th.
AS there are two sides TO every ques-
ton. and feeling that IL is up to me
TO see that Ocala gets a fair decision
at the hands of the public, l wish to
put the case before them so that they
can Judge for themselves. have
been coaching the Ocala team for two
years, and the personnel of the team
has not changed during that time.
Prof. Wilbur makes the statement
that Ocala has ringers" on her team.
Prof Wilbur's Interpretation of a
ringer" and mine, are not the sane.
I believe that a ringer" is a profess
sional player, hired TO play at. a sal
airy. and We have no hired players On
the Ocala team. The team is made
up entirely of boys under nineteen
years of age. and there are only two
members of the team that are not
high school boys, and every member
of the team is eligible to go to he
hige school. as none of them have
graduated. Ocala has made no claim
10 a bona fide high school team, and
Il would be impossible to get repre-
sentative high school team from
Ocala. as there is not enough material
90 choose from. Mr.. Wilbur waited
quite late In the day before cancelling
this game, and / do not think that his
reasons are the best in the world Ev-
cry member of the Ocala team is a
gentleman. and their families are
among the best I'm the state. The
word. ringer" is a nasty expression,
and should not be used where gentle
men are concerned, and I don't think
that Prof. Wilbur understood the def
milton Of the word when he used it
in regard to Ocala. ocala has gain
ed an enyiable reputation on the grid
iron this season in beating the Uni
versity of Florida Scrubs to 0; Dr.
lando High School. Al to o: and Tam
pa High School Is to o. Possibly this
Is Prof. Wilbur's main reason for can
ceiling the game. We received a wire
from Prof. Wilbur advising us that
we would have TO play as a city team.
We accepted these terms; then, on
top Of that. he later cancels the game
altogether. A good many prominent
,itizens came TO Jacksonville yester-
day to attend TO business and remain
over till today to see the football
game. Many more would have come
with the Ocala team. trust that
Prof Wilbur will see his error, and
give US a game at later date, as
Ocala is after the championship of
the state this year. and will play any
team OF boys in any town, providing
that the team has no men on il.

What the Vote Means.

Another factor in bringing ebout the close
result in Saturdays election WIS the vote Sc
cured by the prohibtionists from men who do
not believe in Statewide prohibition. but who
took this opportunity TO voice their protest
against the politicians who have used the liquor
traffic to build up a gigantic political machine
in this State
The voters who prohibitonists from
moral standpoint. from a standpoint OF con-
Vietion, were aided by voters who chance
to register their disapproval of machine rule.
The leaders in Texas politics have used the
whiskey traffic asset for years and have
thereby aroused thousands Of citizens who do
not favor Statewide prohibition, but who aligned
themselves with the prohibitonists rather than
seemingly aid a crowd of constituencies poll
ticians who controlled the offices and political
welfare of Texas.
Take the saloons and breweries out of poll
ties was the slogan of the prohihitionists and
TO many voters ii simply meant. Vote against
the liquor traffic and you thereby against
the men who have secured office through per-
nicious innuence. and who have SO long in
undated the hest citizenship of the State
The Chronicle does not believe in Statewide
prohibition, does ii believe the voters re-
ferred to chose the best method Of showing
their resentment of machine politics. but The
Chronicle is in hearty sympathy with those who
deplore the conditions that resulted in this
cal tricksters and whiskey- controlled officials
That these politicians and office holders can
easily be shorn of their power. and that they
have lost their influence has been thoroughly
demonstrated; consequently the prohibition cleo

The Smithf1eid. n. G., Herald exposes an old
dodge of the liquor interests in playing the
game OF misdirecting public opinion our
contemporary tells of the offer of plate mat
ter" free of charge if its publication is as
sured. This matter, of course. recites the
failures of prohibition. The Herald refused to
become party to the plan. We have con,
stantiy warned readers not TO credit stuff of
this character unless it comes from parties of
known responsibility and reputation. 1t is
gratifying to observe that certain papers
hitherto eager to print anything rejecting
