appeared in your paper some
three weeks ago, entitled "Too
many yellow breeches."
In the first place, we were not
aware that you were a road
official, altho' we did know that
a majority Of the men and BOYS
of the town have had some posi-
ton with the county since the
road work started. Why is it
that you feel'duty bound to reply
TO our letter, while the com
nunications of Tate Hartman.
and w. P. Payne were passed by
without comment? Was it not
because you knew they would
go after you rough shod if you
offered to criticise facts, such as
Ithey set forth?
If you hire man to build a
plank fence and he measures
every plank from three to five
times before he saws it in two,
and you were paying him by the
day, wouldn't you think he was
wasting time at your expense?
Or of if you hire boss to over
see your farm hands, don't you
think you would have a right to
criticise him if he was wasting
your time and money? You in
timated that Thompson Valley
citizens do not know when a
road is poorly built. l didn't
discuss the manner in which the
roads are being built. Of course
a Thompson Valley farmer is not
supposed to know a good road
from bad one, but to be sure,
any man or boy who has lived in
town all their lives, and never
owned horse or drove a wagon
and would not know whether
the hame string went at the top
or the bottom of the collar, of
course this wise guy knows all
about road making.
Perhaps you humble CORE
spondent does not know a good
road from a bad one, but the
yellow pants" article was sug-
gested by conversations with
some of the best citizens of our
community, but they live in the
land OF ignorance in Thompson
Valley, so their opinion is of no
value whatever. If you are SO
well posted on the read doings
in this section, will you kindly
tell us who paid the surveyors
for the time they We're loafing
at a certain store in this com
munity.
Furthermore, l would like to
ask you how many times was
the piece of road made by Kin
Ger & Vermillion, leading up
Cavitt's Greek, which is given
up to be the best piece of road
IN the county; how many times
was this piece of road SURVEYED?
II you do not know, ask Mr..
Kincer. q
If the good people of Thomp.
son Valley have a grievance let
them make complaint to the
Board Of Supervisors or the pro-
per road authorities. The bows
IN Waller Breeches," we take

''ln vocational schools lies the cure
for the necessity of long periods of
apprenticeship, during which boys
and girls, underfed at home and I'M

such temptations that their survival

boast.
"The whole idea of vocational
training is to make boys and girls
more able to support themselves,
isn't it?" asked Lieut.-Gov. O'Hara.
well, no." said Mrs. Young. You
must add to that, that real vocational
training must impIant in the minds
of the young a desire to become
something, an ideal, a steadfast am.
bition."
Would it be well to enact a mini
mum wage law" asked O'Hara.
"That would be special legislation
objected Mrs. Young. Besides, as the
cost of living advanced the legal
minimum would remain the same
you have in mind a fixed law"
said O'Hara. 81 was thinking of a
flexible one, which could be changed
as needed from year to year by COM
missions"

Inc testimony OF Jonn j. Mitchell,
president of the Illinois Trust &
Savings Bank and human being.
And the testimony of James B.
Forgan, President of~the First Ma
tional Bank.
But it was brought back to it's
usual level by the testimony Of such
men as Joe Basch, vice-president of
Siegel, Cooper & Co.; Edward ].
Lehman, vice-president of The
Fair, and Theodore w. Robinson,
vice-president of the Illinois Steel
Co., subsidiary of the trust.
Ella Flagg Young's testimony was
the best that yet has been given be-
fore the commission, and showed
that Mrs. Young has given long and
careful study to the relations between
low wages and weakened wills and
minds, and the consequences thereof.
She advocated vocational educa-
ton, but condemned the Cooley vo-
cational education bill now before
tic legislature, which Big Business is
making such an effort to put over.
Sc advocated a minimum wage law
so regulated that the minimum could
be increased or decreased as the cost
of living fiuctuated.
Poor wages for the father and
other supporters of the family means
underfed children" said Mrs. Young.
"Underfed children cannot do the
physical or mental work of children
so nourished that their bodies are eff
ficient supporters Of their brains.
eff the mental capacity of a child
is thus weakened through under
feeding, so also is its moral fiber and
caliber, its physical capacity and it's
possibility of great attainment when
grown up. I believe inadequacy of |
wages thus becomes a prime factor in
weakening the moral capacity of |
both boys and girls.
School training must be changed. |
