THE O. K. ON SCHOOL TEACHERS.

Mayor Knots said from the cam
paign platform at Gary that school
master who sticks to teaching too
long doesn't amount to anything.
Mr. Knots said this because his
rival, Mr.. Johnson, used to be q
school teacher. Mr.. Knots himself
used to be a school teacher but he
didn't stick too long-he was a gov
eminent teacher and there was a
change If administration.
However, President Wilson stuck
to being a school teacher for nigh
thirty years and seems to have
achieved a little fame. The present
governor OF Michigan is schoo
teacher, and, last, but not least, oul
own congressman, Mr.. Peterson, o.
whom Mr. Knots will expect a post
mastership for one of his lieutenants
was a school teacher and stuck to 1
for a mighty long time. Superin

The Gary mayor is mistaken an

cial system that would teach the rich
how to find happiness in using their
money properly the poverty problem
would speedily and mysteriously
solve itself.
Do we not see the brighter, hap
pier faces among the humber folk?
Does not the laugh ring out more
merrily and more true from the cot
tages than from the mansions?
Are not even the little children
gayer in the alleys than in the ave-
nues?
If there were none poor, none
struggling. none aspiring after the
essential things, there would be nc
genuine happiness in the world for
the rich to try to initiate.
Mankind would soon forget how &c
laugh.

SAVED BY WIRELESS.

What those VINO go down to the
sea in ships ever did without wire
less comes to mind with every new
story Of ocean disaster
The spectacle of the burning Vol
turno plunging about in a storm
swept sea and surrounded by ten
steamships American, British,
French, German and Russian-all
summoned to her aid by wireless, has
never before been seen.
That 521 souls were saved is a
tribute to the IS o s. call.
So severe a gale was raging when
the doomed steamship was first sight
ed that rescue work was absolutel,
impossible. The giant ships were
tossed about like corks and lifeboat:
when launched were crushed like
eggshells.
1t is singular thing that sever
years ago the Volturno rescued the
crew of the French bark Champagne

pie of Danville, Ind, are not able t
find candidates for municipal ticket
and says:
What's the matter with Danville,
Ind?
Does anybody in Chicago want
to be mayor of that town.
Nobody in Danville does and
the town has hoisted the signal
of distress. The next municipal
election is only a month off, and
so far not one of the three par
ties has been able to find a pub
lic-spirited citizen willing to be
a candidate for the office of city
chief executive
Not only will the office of mayor
be vacant but a half dozen other
public offices as well. and nobody
in the town wants them. More
over, the present incumbents think
SO little of their jobs that they abb
solutely refuse to be candidates for
reelection.
Never before in the history of
Indiana has such a political pre-
dicament faced a town.
Several women have volunteered
to serve. but they are ineligible.
In case no one is nominated. the
name of a candidate will be writ

foot by a certain political ring"

FOREST FIRE LOSS LOWEST IN

With the middle of September the
fire season in the national forests
came practically to an end with less
damage than ever recorded. There
is always some danger from careless

clearing land, but the real danger
season extends only from the middle
of June until the middle of Septem-
Der.
Forest officers throughout the west
are congratulating themselves on a
season so markedly free from heavy
losses. They feel that the immunity
from loss has been due to two prin-
cipkal causes. party to a favorable
season, but largely to much better
| organization for fire prevention than
| has been attained heretofore. The
| effectiveness of the organization Is
shown particularly by the fact tina
while there were in ali approximately
| 1880 fires, as against 2,470 last year
yet the area burned so far this yeal
is only about $4,000 acres as against
100000 acres in 1912, and 0,00C
in 1911.
California, Arizona, and New
Mexico have suffered most during tht
lpast season.
