Things to Say of the

An appreciation is always welcome,

Toledo. o., is proud of an article which
appeared recently in the Illustrated
News of London, England, from the
pen of w. Whittal, regarded as one of
the most able automobile authorities
of the old world The English people
have for many years been somewhat
Inclined to belittle the efforts of Amer
lean motor car makers. and the medi-
UNI priced car, produced in large
quantities has come in for a special
share of condemnation. From a per-
usal of Mr.. Whittars article 1t begins

were at last inclined to give us some

Last week l set down some con-
illusions upon American cars in gen.

casion to become more closely ac-

cheapest of the American importations,
since it costs some G275, all on, but,

GOES TWENTY-FIVE MILES
ON A QUART OF GASOLINE

The Lincoln Motorcycle club of Lin
coin, Neb., held an economy contest
last week that furnished striking evil
dence of the wonderful mileage pos
sibilities of the efficient motorcycle of
today.
The test was somewhat unique in
that each rider was compelled to empty
his gasoline tank was then supplied
with a quart of gasoline: and told to
ride just as far as he could.
In the two cylinder class J. Gembel
on a Yale Twin covered the most
ground, Keeling off % miles before his
precious quart was exhausted.
Twenty-Five miles per quart Of gaso-
line is equivalent to So miles per gal
lon, or an actual running cost of about
one sixth cent per mile. With gasoline
at is cents one could ride from New
York to Chicago, at this rate, for a
trifling s1.65, or make the trip from
New York to San Francisco on $3.50
worth of Juice"

F. ]. Carver was on hand with his
1910 Buick, which he claims has
done" 100000 miles. Not to be outdone,
a mechanic for Randall -Dodd company
drove the car up the steps after the
Cartercar vacated the way. He also
carried three passengers.
All have heard of the great hill
climbing ability of the Cartercar and
many have seen it climb steep hills
and steps where the gear car would
have been helpless. The great econ
omy of power secured by the gearless
transmission enables the Cartercar to
travel any road.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By G. w. Meisnest.)
SALARIES OF TEACH ERS.

A bulletin lately published by the
United States Bureau of Education
shows wide variation in the salaries
Of teachers. Even in cities of the
same class there are considerable diff
ferences. The lowest salaries, of
course, are in rural communities.
AS general thing, the bulletin
states, the salaries in city school sys-
TENS are fairly well standardized. The
compensation Of teachers has increased
in recent years and this is especially
noticeable in the Western States
The range of salaries of city school
superintendents in cities of more than
$50, 900 populate n is from 81 600 to $40.
600, the average being SIl7S. In the
same class of cities the average salary
of high school principals is 81, 565 and
the average salary Of elementary teach
ers if Sl,0lS.
Salaries are fairly uniform in the
smallest cities which are listed those
ranging from 5000 to 10000 in popula-
ton. The maximum for supernteud-
ents in this group is $4,000 and the av-
erage Sl,9I5; but elementary teachers
show an annual average of 1888, with
salaries as high as ~ $50 and as low
rs SOL.
The widest variation is shown in the
colleges and universities, whore the
salaries of men with the rank of "pro-
fessor" range from $50 to $500.
Even the amounts paid to State super
intendents vary greatly. The salaries
of the chief officers in the the various
States range from $4,000 in New ,Ier-
sey and New York, $500 in Illinois:
$500 in Massachusetts, and $4,000 in
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, california,
Indiana and louisiana, down 10 s., 900
in Delaware, Nebraska and Nevada;
81, 800 in South Carolina and $500 in
South Dakota.
In some Of the rural schools the pay
of teachers is absurdly inadequate
The tendency, however, is toward bet
ter compensation. The people are de-
manding better teachers and 1t is hard
Iy possible to elevate the teaching
standard without increasing the salar-
les of the teachers. a good teacher
deserves a good salary. On the con
trary the poor teacher is poor invest
ment at any price whatsoever.

LITER MAKES HIS ESCAPE.

Waupun, Wis, Oct, 5.-Wenzei f.,
Kabat, native of Manitowoc county,
who was convicted of murder in the
first degree in Appleton in 1906 and
sentenced to the penitentiary here for
life, e,nade his escape at I o'clock Sat
urday evening by saving the bars of
his cell. He had been gone an hour
before the escape was discovered
Since s O'Clock Saturday night a
posse of fifty armed men have been
searching for the escaped murderer,
while the police in every city and viii
lage in the state have been notified to
watch for him.
Kabat was convicted of the murder
of Michael M. Mccarthy, wealthy
farmer, . miles from kaukauna, Outa-
gamie county, and then burning the
body. His arrest, trial and conviction
caused big sensation all over the
country at the time, being often term
ell as the most noted murder case in
the history of Wisconsin. He has not
yet been captured.

COURT RULES FORCE CLAUSE
IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

just as the work was we'll started up
on the concrete highway along the
lake shore between Manitowoc and
Two Rivers the supreme court declar-
ed invalid the "force' provisions of
the state highway law under which
the money for this highway was raised
State officers are quoted as saying that
the decision will not affect existing
contracts. Anyway the work here is
being pushed rapidly despite the decis-
ion. Much grading has been done and
the Schuette Cement Construction
Company is laying concrete.
Local Superintendent Frank Muth
says the work will 60 forward until or
ders to desist are received.
The case arose in the town OF Grand
Chute, Outagamie county.
The force clause provides that where
individuals raise one-siXth of the
amount for construction, the town,
county and state must raise the addi-
tonal amount. 1t is held that this
clause delegated to the group Of free
holders making the contribution the
legislative power Of determining the
amount Of taxes to be levied for the
purpose of making such Improvements,
and that such delegation is unconsti-
tutional.
The highway law otherwise by in
ference is sustained
II existing contracts stand lie decis-
ion will cut down the 1918 work by
nearly a half million dollars in the
state.
The local road was forced on the
town Of Two Rivers by the automobil
club and this town also took the matter
into court but it never went TO finish

THE TICKET

Election is only few weeks off and
it behooves Democrats 10 get busy and
hustle for the ticket. We have a
strong county ticket and every man on
it should be elected and he will be if
Democrats pull together.
John Enge gelbrecht the nominee for
sheriff is an active and earnest worker
in behalf of Democratic principles
and is entitled to the vote Of his party.
Arthur Auton the nominee for coun.
ty clerk very ably filled that position
during the last two years. He is a
model officer and the records Of his
office are in first class condition. Mr..
Auton is a strong man before the
people through his integrity, worth
and intelligence.
Theo. Anderson, the nominee for
county treasurer, b. 'r' med his
reputation as a capaoIe ot1ieel. His
popularity is due to his able and con-
scientious discharge of his duties.
Jos. Zahorik, the nominee for regst-
er of deeds is new candidate for ot1ic-
ial honors. He is man of large ca
pacity and held the Office of town clerk
of Franklin over twenty five years.
Joe has many elements of strength and
will be first class official.
f. S. Schmitz, the nominee for dis
trict attorney has the capacity for
making first class officer. He is a
lawyer of tine ability and comes from
good old Newton stock.
A. j. Clark, the nominee for clerk
of court, is by no means an untrie d
man. He has discharged the duties of
his office faithfully and ably. He has
friends everywhere and he deserves to
have them.
DR.. Falge is put on the ticket for
coroner because the people like him
and he is too good Democrat to re-
fuse.
Otto Gass does not care for the Office
of surveyor for the revenue that is in
it. He does it for the exercise it i'm
poses. He has discharged the duties
of the Office in such way as to merit
a reelection.
Carl Hansen is a candidate for re-
election in the lst assembly district.
He has made creditable record in the
assembly and there is no change in
sight for him.
Peter j. Murphy is candidate for
reelection in the second assembly dis
trict. His past record ought to be
sufficient to insure his reelection as no
member of the legislature has better
one.

LETTER FROM EX-PRESIDENT Fill

spondence it will be seen that Ex-Pres-
ident Millard Fillmore has pronounced
in honor of the Democratic candidate
for the presidency.
Buffalo, Sept, 2S, 1864.
f. II. Churchill, Esq.
Dear Sir: Your favor of the
26th has this moment come to hand, in
which you request my permission to
publish my letter to you Of the 18th, in
slant.
The letter, like all letters of mine,
was intended to be private; not be-
cause it contained any sentiment,
which wished to conceal, but simply
because had great aversion to ap-
pearing in the newspapers; but you
seem to think its publication might do
good to the conservative cause in
which confess | feel a very deep in
terest-and as have received similar
Information from other sources | have
reluctantly come to the conclusion to
permit it to be published.
The fact is, that, | see no reasonable
prospect of a restoration of this Union
the object nearest my heart-with-
out a change Of the avowed policy Of
this administration; and see no pros
pect of changing that policy but by a
a change Of administration itself.
Hence | am for change, and | look
upon General Mcclellan AS the last
hope for restoration of this Union, an
honorable peace, and the secruity of
personal Liberty; and this you may pub
lish to the world as my views on the
pending crisis. But shall enter into
no argument in support OF my opinion,
nor do | intend hereafter to depart
from that silence which implore upon
myself from an unwillingness to min
gle, in party politics; for | do not con-
slider myself rs belonging to any party,
and | feel wholly Indifferent to any
party success as such, and am anxious
for the honor and welfare of my be-
loved, but bleeding and suffering coun-
try.
am in great haste, truly yours,
