CRISIS FOR NATIONS '1ollERs.

What the laborer didn't see under
the Republican regime was that High
Tariff does not regulate wages. but
makes It possible for the manufacturer
to so regulate prices that he can con-
troll labor. The farmer, with his char
acteristic self-reliance and naturally In
dependent spirit, asked no favors. All
he wanted was an equal chance with
other business men. Wilson saw the
farmers interests in big way.

Each of the instructors gave us splen-
did work in his or her line and the tea.
cheers attended promptly and regularly.
After the regular institute was over
forty rural teachers came back Satur-
day morning for extra work, and more
wished they could be here. A fine
spirit was shown.
Although of a different nature from
the usual line presented to the teach
ers, the work of Mrs. Lillia G. English
was by far the most deep-rooted and
far-reaching of any of the work given.
Mrs. English touched the lives of the
teachers SO vitality and SO earnestly
that they must 60 back to their homes
with higher ideals and a better knowl-
edge Of life, to spread the message Of
health and love ard beauty and its
relation to human success and happi-
ness.
Her lecture on Thursday afternoon
on Health and Beauty" was heard
and enthusiastically received by many
besides the teachers. Proof of the
success of this address were the full
houses to whom she gave her lectures,
'tThe Boys Behind The Bars" Thurs
day evening, and ''The Girl and Her
Problems" Friday afternoon.
Mrs. English is wonderful woman
full of sweet sympathy and love for
everyone and deep-rooted, sincere de-
sire to "pass it on, the message she
has received through life of love and
and experience with people, people
who are down and out, people whom
the world looks upon as the low and
the worthless, people whose lives have
been made what they are perhaps by
inheritance and perhaps by society,
and who must suffer through no fault
of their own. She appeals to our high
er lives for the boys and girls of to-
morrow, for the men and women of the
future, and she does it SO sweetly, and
SO modestly and so earnestly, that we
must hear and do. feel that l voice

that our hearts 60 out to her with a
determination to prove that Howard
county shall not fail to respond, that
her message here shall not have been in
vain.

T.R. Still After German Blood

In a speech at Battle Greek, Michi-
gan,l' Saturday, Theodore Roosevelt,
the hacker, the speaker and the dicta-
tor for Mr.. Hughes, asserts that Will
on:should have gone to war over the
Observation-Disclosures. German blood he
bowls in every speech. In this same
speech he objects to Mr.. Wilson doing
anything:to interfere with England's
openland:constant violation of the law.
His every speech echos of race hatred.
or religious bigotry or of sectional sell
fishness.
He and Hughes are working the
game together, the special agents Of
j. P. Morgan and the Wall Street
gang. Hughes does not damn the Ger
mans, but apparently sends Teddy out
to do that, thus hoping to hold the So
called German vote and corral all the
so-called British vote.
Roosevelt objects to the eight hour
law, yet he nor Hughes raised hand
to prevent its passage, but he says he
knows nothing about it. That's the
trouble with both Mr.. r. and Mr.. H.
They object without knowing why.
He says we should not be satisfied
with the present condition of our banks
and pockets both full of money; with
our people riding in autos with great
prosperity; but should look for some
thing higher. Look for what? Surely
he can not see upward. He thought
lessly admits great prosperity under
democratic administration Gene Fuel
