\ DIsINTEGRATING FORCE.

Disintegration marks the decline OF
Huerta's power in Mexico. His die
tatorship still maintains it's integrity,
but his organization is falling TO pieces.
Rojas. his right hand man. minister
of foreign affairs, has left him, and
Ruiz, under secretary. has followed.
The incident plainly indicates differ
ences of opinion and judgment which
have made il impossible for these dis
tinguished Mexicans to longer serve
the usuTper. Their reasons for quit
ting the Mexican cabinet have not
been made public. but it is apparent
that Rojas and Ruiz have seen the
hopelessness OF Huerta's cause and
unable TO influence his stubborn mind
have deserted him.
Huerta has now reached the obsti-
nate stage of his recklessAeSs. lie is
stalking his all on the turn OF the dip
lomatic die as thrown by the A-B-C
mediatOrs. Shout this recourse fail

il not sooner. the assassin comes upon
the stage and II Huerta does not fall a
victim il will be the good luck OF out
side protection or the opportunity TO
escape that will save him.
1t is certain that if a blockade of
Mexican ports follows the failure OF
mediation the Huertistas will quickly
suffer for lack OF ammunition and
other army supplies and will not be
in position long 10 offer resistance in
force TO any enemy that may come
against him. The beginning of the
end Of his autocratic rule is az hand.

NEEDS OF THE NAVY.

AS far as it goes the American navy
is without doubt the best in the world.
though the claim may be disputed by
Great Britain and other foreign pow
ers. This superiority consists in max
ing the most of what il has. in facility
of movement, discipline and marks
manship.
The speed and concert with which
the ships Of the American navy get
into action and the ubiquity which
seems TO have almost become a habit
ii has been possible TO meet emer-
gencies in manner which has re-
bounded to the fame of the organiza-
zion and given il a name for efficiency
which is astonishing when the num-
Der of vessels is considered and which
has excited the wonder and admira-
ton Of other powers.
In no less degree, if not in greater,
has the craftsmanship of the Ameri-
can tackles commanded the repescr
OF foreigners. Good craftsmanship is
an American trait. 1t was a big fac
tor in winning the fight for independ-
ence and in bringing to a quick con-
clusion the war with Spain. Since
that disturbance, however. II is claim
ed that the gunners of the navy have
increased one thousand per cent in
efficiency and have attained a stage of
accuracy and perfection beyond the
possibility of rivalry.
This perfection has been achieved
by cultivating a natural ability 10
shoot straight by target practice in
which substantial prizes are given for
superiority. In addition 10 the prizes
the guns, sides and stacks of winning
ships are decorated with distinguish
ing marks of which the crews are
very proud.
An example of this efficiency wa:
given the other day when the ships al
/ Vera Cruz shelled the Mexican nava
school The object of the fire was
picked out to "A nicetysand surround
ing property was not damaged
This is something TO be proud of
but efficiency is not all that is needed
in navy. 1t must have A sufficient
| force and power TO back up its eff
cheney in times of need. That is what
we would find we lack should we get
/ into trouble with "a first class power
/ We are in danger of being smothereC
/ by numbers unless we make substan-
tial additions to our navy.

HUNTING CAMPAIGN ISSUES.

In his search for a peg 10 hang a
campaign issue upon Mr.. Beverage
has hit on the foreign policy Of the
administration. with especial refer
ence TO the acceptance Of mediation
from South American states in the
Mexican affair. Mr.. Beveridge would
have US believe that this innovation
has unraveled the Monroe doctrine.
The position taken by the former
senator is as plausible as his in
genious processes Of thought and
mastery OF the English language can
make II, but Il still lacks something
TO make IL convincing. Because Pres.
Wilson has, in his purpose 10 avoid
war il possible. consented TO media
ton by representatives Of Argentina,
Brazil and Chile we are not prepared
70 believe that the United States has
surrendered any part OF its power as
the dominant factor in the western
hemisphere. We regard IL rather as
a recognition of that dominance on
the part Of the South American states.
Peace is the motive which actuated
the United states government in its
acceptance Of the offer Of mediation.
The United States was being forced
into war by the perversity of HUI
erta. a war which threatened TO in
volve MT only the faction supporting
the dictator but the whole Mexican
people. The administration had no
particular computations against max
ing war on Huerta. but il did not
desire war with Mexico for obvious
reasons. Mediation held some promise
OF a peaceful solution. That is all
there was TO it.
The United States has surrender
ed nothing which rightfully belongs
TO il in its relations with the Latin
American republics. Its power in the
western hemisphere is no less domin-
ant than il was before. 1t continues
and will continue 10 inforce the prin-
cipIes OF the Monroe doctrine in their
application to the South American
states and to all foreign powers.
1t may be good politics for Mr..
Peveridge 20 spring this suggestion at
this time as q feeler, but ne may we'll
continue his work on the life of
Alexander Hamilton for two weeks or
longer before attempting 10 force it
upon the people as an issue. BY that
time he will probably wisely conclude
that it will be prudent TO forget it.

A HERO is DEAD.

The death OF Gen Daniel E. Sickles
ended a life of achievement, OF ro-
nance and of storm. One Of the most
picturesque figures OF the civil war
ne claimed public attention for many
years afterward and his misfortunes
have for many years excited the SYM
pathy of many people who appreciated
the services he had rendered his coun-
try.
Previous TO the war Gen. Sickles
was conspicuous in the politics of the
state of New York. a fighter by ma
ture and endowed with extraordinary
ability he was at the age Of twenty-five
a democratic leader whose power was
recognized. At twenty-eight he was
: corporation counsel of the city Of New
y ork. and IL was through his efforts
that the city secured Central park.
Before he was thirty-two his position
in national politics gave him the sec
retaryship OF the legation at London
under Minister James Buchanan. Sub
sequently he was elected TO the state
senate and 10 the thirty-fifth congress.
While serving his second term his
career was marked by a domestic
tragedy which possessed elements of
a noble and romantic nature. on the
ground that his wife had been misled
he killed her alleged seducer. Francis
Barton Key. who was at that time
United States district attorney for the
District Of Columbia. on the plea OF
''unwritten law" he was acquitted and
then recalled and forgave his wife with
the statement 10 the public that he
was not aware OF any statute or code
OF morals which makes IL infamous to
forgive a woman. / can now see in
the almost universal denunciation with
which she is followed TO my threshold
the misery and peril from which
have rescued the mother OF my
daughter I shall strive 10 prove to
all that an erring wife and mother
may be forgiven and redeemed"
These noble sentiments were less
appreciated than they would be now.
but though they redeemed they did
not restore to happiness the unfortu-
nate woman She died a few years
later OF a broken heart
With the opening OF the civil war
Gen. Sickles rendered his services to
Pres Lincoln and was commissioned
70 raise a brigade. He placed the IA
nous Excelsior brigade in the field
and took command OF one OF the regi-
ments. but was soon after made a
brigadier general
He rendered distinguished services
in a number OF the great battles Of
the war. and at Gettysburg lost leg.
At the age OF thirty-seven he had risen
20 the rank OF major general. He
was the last OF the great military lead
ers OF the war. At the close OF hos
tilities he entered the regular army
and rose 20 the rank OF major general
Under Pres. Grant he was minister 10

PEOPLE,

SOME PLAIN FACTS CONCERNING
SOUTH BEND PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS

The prevalent notion seems to be
that teachers. as a class, are well
paid. Let's see.
In South Bend there are So A class
teachers, receiving an average salary
of 1851 per month; rs B class teach
ers, average salary. s59.2s per month;
SIS c class average salary 1881; D
class. salary S79.41. making a total
Of 1856 grade teachers. receiving
S11.9s2.9O per month. This makes the
average monthly pay of a South Bend
grade teacher S64.42 for nine months
in the year. or s579.7s annually.
In view of the fact that there are
twelve months in the year. and a
teacher, not being a alternating ami
NAL. requires food and shelter the full
ffty-two weeks. her salary is the mu-
nihcent sum Of $11.15 a week.
Before being able 10 command this
thigh wage" she must have already
invested at least five expensive years
OF preparation of her earning time.
This five years preparation makes her
class A teacher commanding sal
airy of S11.40 a week, for the school
year only, IS weeks. In order to en-
ter class B, and command a salary Of
S14.S2 a week for 36 weeks. she must
have another three months of normal
training and before entering class G,
salary S19.5S week for Sc weeks.
must be a normal graduate. A teacher
who has TO depend entirely upon her
self despairs of ever entering class
or d because she cannot meet the
expense Of attending normal school
for so long a period. These enforced
limitations react upon the character
of her work. She is unable 70 develop
her best powers, her highest possibil-
tiles as a teacher, the community
thereby losing in exact proportion as
she herself remains defective.
Following are some Of the points
upon which a teachers success mark
is based:
l. Personal appearance. always re
Numbering that this means well
dressed.
?. Community interest. such as club
membership. church work. charity
work. etc.
s. Educational literature.
4. Professional interest. such as at
/ tending lectures. four Institutes a year
with a fee for each. and carfare and
| hotel bills TO attend two of them, read
\ ing circle books. etc.
Since the salaries already quoted are
partially based on this success grade
a failure 10 live up 10 all these re-
/ Quirements. means a lowering OF sal
airy. Then. too we are greeted with
/ this question on all sides. Aren't YOU
/ glad that school is nearly out?" Wher
a worker in any other line loses hi:
/ position for a period or three month:
/ he has the sympathy of rhe entire
community. yet a teacher is expected
10 rejoice at this dogs status-hungel
and ease.
There is a social pressure brough
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1914-05-05

to bear on a teacher which makes it
morally necessary for her TO live in
the more respectable communities of
the city. The expense Of living such
communities amounts to six or seven
dollars a week out OF her munificent
$11.15. But the argument is often
brought to bear that a teacher lives
in the home of her parents. We are
talking O. the cost OF living, and be-
cause she lives there makes the cost
none the less The parent has in
vested in this child a sufficient sum to
make her self-supporting, and de-
serves value received for such invest
ment. The moral responsibility of
the public offering just returns is not
removed because she chooses TO re-
main under the parental roof.
The public will generally concede
that a teachers very training makes
of her a woman of intelligence, re-
finement and aesthetic culture. The
mea gernesS of her salary puts hope
lessly out of her reach even the least
expensive of the things which her
training has made her love. Her fate
to stand hungrily by and admire
the possessions of her more fortunate
friends, who often are far less capable
Of approaching the beauty Of the things
they possess.
Her poverty leaves her a person al
most wholly without social prestige,
so much so. that her school room in
struction for moral uplift often fails
in its highest effectiveness Instead CT
being the leader which her culture fits
her to be. she takes a back seat III any
social gathering, while often the less
capable. but better dressed woman
takes the lead.
In order to bring home clearly the
value Of teacher as a public SER
want, imagine her services being with
drawn from the community for a pc
riod Of some years.
Having faithfully served the COM
munity in the most nerve-racking, but
essential work for a period of twenty
five or thirty years at the above stated
salary. what could she have saved to
protect her from charity in her de-
clning years?
The teaching body believe that an
intelligent understanding of these facts
by the public will remove any censure
that might otherwise accrue to those
officials who have il within their power
10 better these conditions should they
choose. A TEACHER

# baby is fretful and cross that too
is a sign he isn't feeling right. A
well baby sleeps most of the time,
and when he is awake he is happy
and contented.
When a baby won't take his bottle
at the regular time there is surely
something wrong. Find out what it
is at once.
A healthy baby should eat. and get
terribly mad about IL II he doesn' I
get his food on time.
Lastly. winter and summer, look
out for cough.
You sometimes neglect cough in
grown people and they may not
amount TO anything. though neglect
is dangerous. Don't do IL with the
baby.
A cough may mean pneumonia, and
when they get II. it kills them very
quickly. There is no tirne TO lose.
The thing that makes the most
trouble is the so-callcd summer COM
plant. over 5000 babies under ore
year old die from IL every year liz
New York city alone. About 5000
die every summer.
Yet this disease is preventaSle by
learning a few simple rules OF foo6
ard care. If 10 is neglected very long
It is almost hopeless.
The first thing TO do when you
think there is anything wrong With
your baby's stomach is 10 stop all
food at once. Don't nurse him.
Give him two teaspoonfuls OF cas-
tor oil. Then call a doctor. l have
already warned you against taking
your neighbours advice. Let me re-
peat il here.
III for any reason you can't get a
doctor at once, while you are waiting
give the baby a sponge bath with
cool water, dress him in fresh clean
clothes. keep him as cool and quiet as
possible. Never try TO amuse a sick
baby. Don't dance or walk the floor
with him TO keep him from crying.
Give his plenty of fresh air.
1t is ten times easier to cure a dis
ease when it is beginning than it is
later on.
