a.ooo STRIKERS RETURN

Lowell, Mass, Sept 2S.--ApproxI- n1ately 2,ooo employees of the United States Cartridge Company's plant here returned to work this morning after being out two weeks on strike. The working force ordinarily consists of about 5000 men, one-half of whom, it is said, are still out. The company, according to its officers. has agreed to abide by any decision of the state board of arbitration on the question of wages after an investi- gation of local conditions. The strikers voted last night not to rec turn to work. s

Prodding the Schoolma'am.
(Boston Evening Transcript.)

NDoSIO1l INSIlllS pI.J 7 Comptroller Prendergast of New York city certainly threw a large sized bonn bshell into the educational ranks when he proposed system un- der which public school teachers would be required to give up the larg- CT part of their vacations and their days off. and assume more nearly the character and function of working people. MT. Prendergast has even as- sumed that there are too many teach CTS even when they are at work, and that some of them could be dispensed with, even while increasing the net amount of instruction which the pu- pills receive. This is nothing less than an alarming proposition. We have somehow become accustomed to the proposition that teachers, do more work in five days than other workers do in six, and more in nine months than other people in twelve. Teaching Is nervous work, and MT. Prender- gast may be quite wrong in supposing that they have "soft thing" But this is certain-that public school in struction has been formalized too much; that the time of pupils is often wasted in mere routine, in a t1me-using excess of system The schools may not need simplif1ed spell Ing, but they often do need a sim pllhed routine, less mechanical or ganization.

Why Mir. Root Won't Do.
 (Navu Republic

Notwithstanding Mr. Roots excep- tional qualifications for the work of the presidential office his popular ity as a candidate would suffer very much from the anta agonisms provoked by his career. There would be arous- ed against him all the bitter personal, sectional and class opposition which remain left over from the political controversies of the Taft administra- tion. The republican voters of the western states are not interested in military preparedness foreign policy and administrative reorganization
 They are still very much interested

in preventing any man from becoming president whose profession Nor busi- ness career has been closely associat- ed with eastern corporations.
 If MT. Root were nominated. this powerful element in American public opinion would do either one of two things. It would support MT. Wilson or it woule run an independent gan didate. No matter which course is adopted, MT. Wilson would be re- elected assuming, of course. that he4 continues to hold his present follow ing in and outside the party. Thus MT. Roots qualifications for the work or being president are nullified by his unavailability as a candidate. The net impression which his career has left on public opion throughout d large part of the country is fatal to his prospects. He would figure in the mind of the West and the rnid- Gle West as a req ctionary candidate. and as q matter of act his support CTS would be found almost entirely among the followers of MT. Taft in lsl2 All professional opponents of, corporate interest" would bounce upon him and begin a carnpai ign Of pcrgon- al abuse which would be reminiscent o1 the Hearst campaign agoinst Mc- Kinlcy and Hanna.
 MT. Root knows all this better than anyone else. The Knowledge should persuade him not to sanction the sub mission O. his name to the voters of his party. His own past would pre- vent his real qualifications as can didate from getting fair hearing.

 How would a commander of big guns it may be wondered, feel if he learned that in battle after battle not merely some but all of his shells had killed only women, children and other noncombatants. No doubt the Zeppelin commander would like to believe that he was killing hostile soldiers, but by this time he must know that with every shell he is tolerably sure to harm only innocent civilians.
