LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

teachers. They deserve much. But why commit monetary suicide to pay the high est salaries in the United States. These lucrative positions, judicially distributed, have brought up so many of our promi- nent and influential citizens that it Is easier to collect on illegal tax than to cut down the educational budget. As to educational efficiency that was long since lost in the shuffle With the money used last year we could have run our schools and on a county basis IS months in the year instead of nine. And the county schools are reasonably efficient
 Again, last year the license tax in our city was so great that it was proclaimed a hold-up by some of the commission CTS themselves This year 1t is generally conceded that the sky will be the limit. and the burden will be intolerable.
 All these conditions had their incep- tion fH the illegal use of the 5-mill tax and in the wholly unnecessary deficit of over $100,00O per month for year or more education, for which no serum has yet been found.

ITEMS ON PLATTSBURG CAMP FROM
 TWO BIRMINGH AM BOYS

Many interesting facts regarding the life at the military training camp at Pittsburg, New York, are contained in strong Cory, who are among the Bir- mingham boys taking the training. In letters just received from them, they tell especially of the artillery and cavalry. Among the interesting personal items contained in these leters are those an- nouncilg that Colonel Roosevelt and Sec retary McAdoo are visiting their sons who are at the camp. The coming of Roosevelt created intense interest in the camp, and caused no little speculation regarding his alleged desire to make an address.
 Extracts from these letters follow:
 Our artillery camp is within 100 yards of the shore of Lake Cnamplain, the last row of tents facing this beautiful body of water. We are in a grove of pines and birches and have very desirable location.
 T am more and more interested in artillery There is more to learn in 1t than any other branch, and consequently we are studying more, through working less than the infantry.
 Roosevelt is here visiting his two sons. Both the Roosevelt boys are in the com pdIly IucSS WllH, ATCHle See every uhy, he seems to be a fine fellow and is top sergeant of his company. His brother is corporal under him.
 .'McAdoo is here also visiting his sons who are among the rockies General Wood is present, of course, along with others of the big folks, has his cottage here for the summer. He is very out spoken in favor of universal military training. It seems he prefers the Swiss system or modification.
 Ut is whispered that Roosevelt would like to make a speech while here-some don't want him to be given the opportun- ity, but I wish they would ask him. my self, and some of the others also. I just what they think-it would be very interesting.
 "The New York society man gets more and more fascinating, he has lived much in England and shot pheasants and deer with English lords, is familiar with every big man you read about, and belongs to all the swell clubs of America and England. Altogether he is the most perfect gentle man, the most agreeable companion, and best all-round sport you could imagine enters into everything with the enthusi- asm of a boy and you can guess we keep him busy talking, when talk time comes. Though worked hard we have some pleas ures.
 'The New York legislator, the most de- lightful and lovable of politicians, an- other gentleman who makes you feel that not all the chivalry is in the south, has his car up with him. Last night he took another of our tent mates and myself for a long ride into the country.
 This is a wonderful country, too, and such good roads. The one we went over

PRESIDENT WILSON IS DELIGHTED" AT
 HUGHES' OPENER
(Continued from page one)

(Continued from page One)
 that the people of the country at whose fireside no ''jingoistic war has placed an empty chair' will applaud his successful efforts to maintain peace.
 TOOLS PARADISE"
 The President, it is said, was well pleased with the effort of MT. Hughes to argue away the fact that the nation is prosperous. AS may be recalled, the republican candidate declared the pros perity of today blood soaked pros perity; and he declared the people of to- day, in peace and prosperity, the occu- pants of fools paradise" MT. Will son and his advisers, however, are in clined to believe that the people who have not sent their sons to war, but with every unit of their families present or accounted for" and occupying situa- ton in which the dinner pail is full, and silver and gold jingle in their opck- cts, will be content to remain in a fool s paradise" rather than accept the sub- stitute offered by Mr.. Hughes.
 The President was delighted in that Mr. Hughes could find no fault with democratic legislation-for domestic issues are the issues presidential campaigns are fought out on MT. Hughes declared for a protective tariff, but he oculd point to no i'll effects resultant from the demo- cratic tariff. And he was significantly silent on the democratic revenue legisla- tion, the creation of the federal reserve banking system, the system of farm loan banks, good road legislation. legis- lation for the relief of labor. and legisla- ton in preparation for war and trade conditions following European peace .
 Mr. Hughes drew only one issue. He differed with the President regarding for

reads that the Lords may compel it to be referred to the people by a general election, but when the bill has thus re- ceived the popular approval, 1t may be- come law without the consent of the Lords. Such is the naked, stubborn fact which MT. Franklin appeals to.
 Such, even, in the nineteenth century was the tradition almost as strong in England as a statute In 1882 the House of Lords tried to block "the great reform bill;" they were compelled by the dan ger of popular revolt to permit 1t to be- come a law. Does that look like con- trolling the government? From that day to this, they have baked but one reform passed by the Commons-Mr. Gladstone home rule bill for Ireland, in 1892. M1' Franklin well remarks that lone swallow does not make esummer." It is sig nificant that the attempt of the Lords to balk Lloyd-George's programme of SO cialistic legislation, brought about the enactment of the statute referred to above They have been politically dead for long while. Now they know it.
 As for the army, it has always been an aristocratic institution, but from 16SS it never interfered with the execution of a law, till a portion of 1t, as MT. Franklin says, tried to help lot of re- bellious, North of Ireland Presbyterains to prevent the enforcement of homo rule bill which had been at last en- acted two years ago. This war swallowed up that question, and it has finished the aristocratic English army. kitcheners army" is democratic So is England fighting with France and Russia to savo Europe from the arrogance Of Ger man people fooled into suicide by a really powerful aristocracy and a monarch who still talks about the divine right of kings Yours most respectfully, :.

last night was oiled macadam and as smooth as a floor. After our ride the gentleman who went with us, Virginian, took us to a chop suey restaurant and fed us on rice bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, mushrooms, chicken and good ness knows what else, all mixed up and called, of course, chop suey. It was my first taste of Chinese cooking, but will not be my last.
 "The following is taken from personal letter from Armstrong Cory telling some thing of the cavalry at Plattsburg.
 Am in Chappells tent few moments to write you. We cavalrymen eat one hour sooner than the other rockies, so it's easier for me to come to him. We of the cavalry run on the hours of regu- lars and eat at the regular barracks mess shack. In my opinion, it is about 50 to 50 between infantry and cavalry, so far work goes. We do not have pack on the march for that is all on the sad dle, but we do have to groom our horses when we come in and have a pistol and sabre to keep clean In addition to the rifle. In the afternoon the infantry boys drill and we have conference lectures, or map war games from 1 to and at 5:15 in morning we bounce out, run down the railroad nearly half a mile and take plunge in the lake-it isn't as cold as it was at first. After breakfast we go to
 
 up and ride to the drill grounds where we drill and maneuver from to 10:S0 a. m. On reaching camp again, we groom, water and tie in our horses, and go to dinner. The 1 to conference fol- lows, and after watering horses at 4 our work for the day is over.
 The grooming gets the goat of some of our business men. One popular big fellow say that 'a troop of cavalry should consist of 70 troopers, and 70 niggers with mule per nigger, think the pace is pretty fast for some of the men, for they often grumble about so many calls to go and water horses, etc.
 q am never very tired. when night comes, though I don't have any trouble in keeping up with the work. I get plenty of work, plenty to eat and plenty of sleep and am feeling fine.
 " esterday our troop went out in pairs on mounted sketch work, and all got caught in the rain. My partner and I were caught near lot of campers cot tages and some young ladies called us in on the porch. In a few minutes one of them asked me if I were not from Geor- gia. I answered, Almost, but not quite from Alabama 'Oh I tell you,' says she, You talk just like MT. Cory!' T guess do,' says l. That's me- I had run into a crowd Chappelrs lieutenant had taken him to see. They seem to like our southern brogue.'
 In the morning we start on the big hike that ends the camp. We cavalry leave first at a. m., and the artillery bring up the rear, leaving about TO- All cavalry rockies will get a taste of hike camp tonight for we have turned in our cots, etc., and must sleep on the ground tonight"

eign policy, but he did not draw an issue on that line because he did not declare for a different programme. But he did succeed in raising one distinct issue. In- fluenced by the suffragettes, he declared for the Susan B. Anthony amendment. He exceeded she declaration of his party platform, which declared for equal suf- frage through state action.
 The raising of that issue was appar- entity the source of no dissatisfaction on the part of the President. For imme- diately afterward he formally let it be known that his position was unaltered; i; that equal suffrage should be treated solely by the several sovereign states of the union.
 As to whether or not on the sole issue raised the campaign will be fought re- mains to be seen. At any rate, demo- ,crats are unusually confident. And, as far as known, the republicans, as re- suit of the Hughes effort, are display ing no noticeable enthusiasm.

House of Lords Dead Politically

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In regard to 'the reactionary aristoc- racy of England, may thank you for the courtesy you extended to me last week, and trespass just a little further upon your patience? I take off my hat to MT. Franklin of Pyriton, in Clay county, for the gallantry with which he has re- turned to the charge, and for the inti- mate knowledge which he displays of cer- tain phases of English history in the nineteenth century Apparently he is ig- norant, however, of the changes made in the English constitution in the early years of the 20th century, and he insists, to use his own quotation from Petroleum V. Nasby," in "arguin' agin' facts.'
 MT. Franklin insists that the House ot Lords is nonelective, nonrepresentative and irresponsible. Granted. He further
 IT, sists that they control the making and execution of the laws and the con. duct of the government in all but the making of taxes" Wrong there. Let ma recommend, once more, a careful study of the acts of Parliament In the reign of George V. The English statute now
