WHEN THE WAR Is OVER

VTTAR brings it's reward. The list
Wv less clod of to-day under the
mysterious influence of mortal
combat, of nation pitted against ma
ton. becomes the hero of tomorrow.
Failures in civil life win undying fame
on the field of battle. Place and po-
sition and wealth are for the con-
queror; cherished niche in the hall of
fame for the soldier OF lesser rank
who distinguishes himself in warfare.
Every man who has been under fire
and has stood the test as a brave
man should. ever after stands a little
higher in the estimation of his fellows
and in his own respect for himself.
Bands play and an enthusiastic public
greets him with huzzas when he comes
marching home.
But there is another side. War pro-
duces also its Benedict Arnolds; its
shame as well as it's glory. When
someone shall ask. at the end of the
great European conflict, "And what
did you do?" with what degree of
pride will the poor wretch reply:
On was III coinIhanu OF the nr1ng
squad that shot to death a little girl
outside her fathers home at Liege.'
Or. ''I am the officer who presided at
the court which >"ndemned young
nurse to death at sSprise before an
open grave
Or. "I am the man who gave the
order that sent the Lusisania to the
bottom"
Or, II am the captain of the sub
.,-aarine who stood by and jeered at

THE PREFERABLE PLACE

CAID Nine. Teyte, speaking while
y she awaited rehearsal call
with the Boston Grand Opera
company in Philadelphia, yesterday,
when a cablegram announcing her
divorce in France was delivered to
her:
It's the old. old story: art and
domesticity never were meant to
travel hand in hand. To succeed in
my art | had to forsake my hus-
hand. He understood this as well
did.
The same message brought the in
formation that her erstwhile husband
is on the firing line somewhere in
France"
AS between being the husband of an
ambitious and discontented opera
singer and n member of the British
.expeditionary force operating against
the Germans, the choice may be diff.
cult. but we imagine the gentleman
in question is quite content with tht
lot TO which fate has assigned him.

Coast States are not dancing
around with war brides" and
the fictitious prosperity which these
lively ladies create has not penetrated
the Businesses of the western country.
This is shown by the recently pub
lished results of the third study in the
series of investigations being made
into the question of unemployment by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor.
This study was undertaken by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
for the department in view, it is an
nounced in a recent bulletin, of the
accuracy OF a previous service of this
sort performed by the company in
New York City.
Such an announcement, 1t may be
remarked in passing, is curious COM
mentary upon the efficiency of the
Department of Labor; but more inter-
esting are the facts which are dis
closed. Portland, Oregon, is credited
with the largest percentage of unem-
ployment no less than twenty per
cent. of the workers in that city be-
ing out of work wholly. The part
time workers for the entire region un-
der investigation ran slightly higher,
while in some of the cities studied
nearly thirty per cent. of the workers
were without steady employment. The
lowest percentage of complete unem-
ployment was at Ogden, Utah, where
4.S per cent. of the laborers We're out
of work.
Twelve large cities only were COW
cred by the investigation. these being:
Butte, Los Angeles, Oakland, Ogden
Portland, Salt Lake City, Sacramento
San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle
Spokane and Tacoma.
The cities showing the largest per.
centages of part-time workers We're
San Diego. 29.2 per cent; Oakland
26.9 per cent; San Francisco, 25.4
per cent; Los Angeles, 24.1 per cent
and Sacramento, 23.7 per cent. The
average for all twelve cities combined
was 2O.2 per cent.
These are the fruits-the usua
fruits, we may say-of Democratic
rule. From five~ to twenty per cent
of the people with no work at all
and an average of one-fifth of all the
people without steady employment.
Is it any wonder that Democrat.
want to focus the gaze of the country
upon unhappy Europe?

MEXICAN MONEY
 EXCHANGE VALUE STEADILY FALLS

Mexico City, May 12.-The pur- chasing price of Mexican paper money has been decreasing steadily until today the Mexican peso is worth but II cents gold in this city. instead of 50 cents in normal times., The price of commodities has risen accordingly and the popuIace has be- come greatly excited
 few days ago the exchange value of the peso was the occasion of a heated debate among the delegates attending one of the national conyen- tions now in session An orator had been holding forth for an hour or more in an incendiary speech where in he charged Wall street and the fi- nancfers of London, Berlin and Paris for being responsible for the thirty cent" variety of money now prevail ing here. He was interrupted by the president of the session, who said:7
 MT. Delegate, I desire to call your attention to the fact that the relative value of Mexican paper currency and the gold coin of foreign states is due in a large measure to the law of sup ply and demand.''
 Then thundered the orator, CT demand that this law be repealed forthwith
 The statement met with great ap- p1ause on the part of the majority of the delegates, who signified their will lingness to vote for the repeal, but the chairman failed to put the ques- ton.

RURAL TEACHERS. IN PERMANENT HOMES, ARE
 COMMUNITY LEADERS

A permanent home. provided by the school community for rural school teachers, is giving great satisfaction where it is in vogue, according to Harold w. Foght in a bulletin just issued by the U. s. Bureau of Educa- ton.
 While out of 5000 teachers reply ing to MT. F'oght's inquiries only 73 live in homes provided by the com n1unity, the bulletin shows that teach CTS who have such homes find it pos sibIe to become permanent commun- ity leaders ''In the few communities reporting permanent homes,'' declares the bulletin, 'tthe teachers are usually able to project the school into the home and draw the home close to the school. Where teachers cottages are provided, these, aside from making the teachers own lives more attrac- tive. naturally become rallying centers for all community activities
 The investi gations of MT. Foght re veal that in rural United States the average time for each public school teacher to remain in any one school is less than two school years of 140 days each. ttThis average" says the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-05-12

bulletin. ifs very much less for a ma jority of the teachers. the few perTna- nent, professional teachers alone hrineing it up close to the two-year level"
 As the average age when teaching is begun is 19 years, and the average number of years taught is only 6 1-2, the bulletins statistics show that the rural public schools of the country are taught largely by young unmar- ried people who have no idea Of fol- lowing teaching as a profession.
 The conclusions of MT. Foght are: t'So long as teachers continue to be peripatetics, the best results in com munity leadership can not be expect ed. A change from amateur to pro fessional teaching in the rural schools would be hastened by giving the teacher a, salary that would enable him to provide comfortably for his family, and by compelling the com munity. through legal enactment to erect "a teachers cottage in close proximity to every school plant
