She expressed her approval Of the

values of life and said she thought
the fact that Furnishing branches Of
these organizations exist here showed
fine interest in our boys and girls.
Mrs. Wells is not a masculine"
woman, but appears as womanly as if
her duties were those of a house,
keeper and home keeper. She is at
tractive and gifted with keen sense
OF humor although she.is very seri-
Gus in her plans Of reform.
When asked how she happened to
become police woman she said sim
ply she decided It was necessary work
for some one and she just made them
appoint her.
One could easily understand how
she would "just make" people do
things for she has manner that
suggests great reserve strength and
seriousness of purpose to a high de-
gree.
Her subject this evening is The
Need of Police Women and Their
Work" The meeting will begin

BIGGEST CROWD OF CAMPAIGN
GATHERS AT COURT HOUSE TO
LISTEN TO SPEAKERS.
CANDIDATE LEHMAN. SAYS HE IS
NOT CONNECTED WITH ANY
DEAL CONCERNING THE
WATERW0RKS. r

The Times in reporting the Bull
Moose grand final rally at the court
house last night stated that there
was a turnout" but failed to say
how many turned out. The facts are
that there were about fifty people in
the county court room to hear the
speaking, it being the largest crowd
Of the campaign, and about half Of
this number were Democrats, and
Republicans who were merely spec
tators. Mr.. Lehman closed the speak
ing of the evening with very clear
and forcible argument for Progress
sive principles, denounced the Repub-
lican leaders for the theft Of the Re-
publican presidential nomination at
Chicago and admitted very reluctant
lily that there we're some things about
the Democratic party, or some OF its
leaders, that did not meet the ap-
prevail Of the Progressive party, but
he failed to go into detail in this
criticism, being contented and very
HAPPY in his more extended criti-
cism OF the Republican party and its
leaders. He finished with an appeal
for support for the city Progressive
ticket pledging his party II elected
Ito Economy, improvement and dol
Ilar's' worth Of service for every doll
| lar expended. He denied most en-
phatically that he was in any way
connected with any deal whereby the
waterworks were to pass into private
control and stated that he did not
believe that any one making such
charges believed them to be true
when they made them and challeng-
ed the press to so report his remarks
He further stated that he favored
competition in public utility fran
chises and would favor other fran
chises IL applied for.
His denial of the waterworks deal
brought fourth very generous APP
plause from the Moose herd which
were assembled around the feet Of
their chief spokesman and standard
bearer and they could chear and un-
derstand all that the. speaker said.
In fact most Of them had heard the
speech before at GAINESVILLE and 9TH
er places and It is said that many of
them have committed it to memory
and can deliver it at any time but
Of course they cannot embellisll the
word with the expression that Mr..
Lehman gives his theme since he is
trained speaker andloratqr.
Trevy Nutter made speech also
and presided at the meeting, SO did
Mr.. Smith and he was very warmly
received by HIS followers.
DR.. Henry has beel around with
the portable audience SO long that
he has developed into a first class
! public speaker. He told of his I'M
dying love for the Progressive party
and its principles and we are sorry
we did not hear all the speech as he
stated when representative of the
West Virginian appeared in the hall
that he wanted his speech reported
in the West Virginian.
The eight disciples or councllmen,
were not all present and we do not
know just how many of them spoke
upon this occasion but as the meet
ing was continued till late hour
evidently several others spoke whose
names we did not get.

broken free, and steamed east, but

Coal miners receive more money In
wages each year than teachers in Wash
ington public schools. The United
States, as a naticn, has a shorter school
wear than any other highly civilized
country in the world.
These facts are brought out in a re-
port on education in the United States
made public yesterday by the Russell
Sage Foundation The local figures were
verified by DR.. William NJ Davidson,
Superintendent of Schools
The report, which is entitled "a COM
parative study of State school systems
in the forty-eight States" sets forth
that the annual wage of teachers in pub
lie schools is less than 81 a day. One
State rents its convicts by the year for
more than it pays its teachers.
The highest average salary paid school
teachers in the United States Is in Cali
fornia, where it is sSlS; the lowest Is
500. in North Carolina. In the District
the average wage for graded school,
teachers is between $500 and 800. The
average wage of carpenters Is $50, OF
coal miners, $500 although 1t generally
totals higher, and of factory workers,
$50. Conditions are better in the Dis
trict than in a number of States, espe-
ciaIly In the South. where there are
large number of rural school-teachers.
Some of these receive only S1so a year.
school Year short.
The longest school year in the country
is in Rhode Island, where II is 193- days.
In the District it is 80 days in the sea-
son of 1sl2-13 In foreign nations the
school season is between go and 27S
days.
