WAYNE TEACHERS
AFTER PRIZE CUP
Convention Opens Tonight at
Normal SchOol-600 to
be Visitors.

Large cOntingents of school teachers
from Butler, Stoddard and Bollinger
counties are expected to be among the
first to arrive in the Cape this morn
ing to attend the forty-frst annual
convention of the Southeast Missouri
Teachers Association, which will open
at the Normal School tonight
1t is predicted that between 500 and
600 teachers will attend the conven-
ton and several speakers of prom
lnence have been secured to lecture
at the various sessions of the conven-
ton. The crowd this year will not
equal that of year ago, it is believed,
because the State Teachers Associa-
ton will meet next week in st. Louis,
and many of the Southeast Missouri
teachers expect to make the trip to st.
Louis for that session.
A cut will be awarded, however, to
the county which shows the highest
percentage of enrolment in the con-
ventiOn. Wayne County last year won
the cup and is coming this year pre-
pared to carry it back.
President Howard of Charlottesville
arrived in the Cape yesterday, and the
afternoon trains today are expected
to bring several teachers from Caru-
thersville, Hayti. New Madrid and all
points south of here
Reservations for the most part, have
been made in advance for the visitors,
and registry for the arrivals will be
kept both in the Commercial Club
rooms and at the Normal School.
Mrs. Cora G.. Lewis, of Kingsley,
Kans., who will speak on the "Teach-
er's Citizenship" arrived in the Cape
last night. Her address will be deliv-
cred tonight. Other features of the
tonight are: Invocation by
Rev. J. F. Lawson; solo by Miss
Blanche McLelland; piano, F. S. Ken
yon; music by Charlottesville High
School quartet, and a violin solo by F..
G. Beck.
Tomorrow the convention will hold
sessions u the morning, afternoon and
evening as we'll as on Saturday. De-
partmental meetings also will be held
in the afternoons. All the meetings
will be held at the Normal School.

REV. AUG. WILDER
IS BACK in CAPE
Returns From Fort Wayne, Ind.
Alfred kraMer, Student,
Called to S. America.

At the same time virtually that Rev.
A. Wilder, pastor Of Trinity German
Lutheran Church, returned to the Cape
after an extended vacation in Fort
Wayne, Ind, it became known that
Alfred Kramer of Altenberg, the
illogical student who has been filling
the pulpit in Trinity Church for sever
al Sundays, has received a call to go
to South America to do church mission
work.
Mr.. Wilder arrived in the Cape early
this morning and he expects to resume
his duties as pastor of the church this
week. On his way home from Fort
Wayne, Mr.. Wilder stopped for short
visit with his son, Hugo Wilder, who
is at Festus, Mo.
His physician, Mr.. Wilder said last
night, has pronounced him cured of
the throat trouble with which he had
been suffering prior to his departure
from the Cape on vacation. He ex-
poets to give his voice and speaking
power a thorough try-out and last
night, he said he does not know how
his throat will hold up under the strain
of speaking.
Mr.. Kramer received the call to
South America last week. He expects
to decide whether or not he will make
the trip soon. Should he determine to
go, he will not leave the United States
until next February.
The call to do mission work comes
from group of about 10000 Germans
who reside in Buenos Ayres, Argen-
tine.
Mr.. Kramer now is a student and
should he take up the mission work, he
will not have to complete the seven
months schooling that remain for him
if he remains in this country. The mis-
sion work will replace the school work
here. He is a young man and is a
member of prominent family in Per-
ny County.

Prohibition Paragraphs

A vote for Statewide prohibition
is vote to repeal the local option
law.
1t costs S5,981 ,134.00 per year to
run the state government, and more
than half the money comes from the
liquor industry.
When you vote to repeal the local
option law of this State, you vote to
destroy the American principle of local
self-government.
Wage-earners actually engaged in
the liquor industry in this State re-
ceive in wages approximately ten mil
lion dollars per year. Who will pay
these wages when the State is voted
dry?
]. Frank Hanley, Prohibition candi-
date for President, predicts that Mis-
souri, will go "wet" this year. Nobody
is making any bets to the contrary.
As matters now stand, the big cities
are contributing the bulk of the State
school and road funds. Statewide pro-
hibition will shift this burden to the
Missouri farm.
There are $4,000 citizens of Mis-
souri, who are directly or indirectly de
pendent upon the liquor business for
the livelihood. In what way can it
help you to vote these people out of
job?
The Constitution should never be
amended for any purpose that can be
as well or better accomplished by leg
islative enactment; and our State
Legislature can give us Statewide
prohibition by statute whenever Mis-
souri, wants it.
If anybody knows where the State of
Missouri can pick up an extra three
or four million dollars a year outside
of the present sources of revenue, he
should slip the word to Colonel Gard
ner and Judge Lamm. Both are run
ming for Governor, and one of them
may need this information next winter.
The capital involved in the liquor
industry in Missouri amounts to $780,
OO0,0OO.00. Prohibition would drive at
least this much capital from the State.
This much we know. How much cap
ital would prohibition bring into the
State? This we don't know. Mis-
Sourians are not in the habit of CIV
ing up a dead sure thing for a rank

1ibition amendment (No. 81, no alco-
1ol, or liquor containing alcohol, can

scientific or any other purpose other
than "sacramental." That is the Ian
guage. the spirit, the meaning, and the
legal effect of the proposed amend
ment. Read it for yourself and see.
A tree is known by It's fruit; public
measures by their effects upon the poo
pie. If the single tax would ruin farm
ers by casting the burdens of govern
mental support upon real estate, 50
would Statewide prohibition operate
likewise in 4 majority Of the cOunties.
There is no other place to go for the
State revenues which Statewide pro-
hibitiOn would take away.
Mr.. Dry Voter: If the biz cities
had the power to vote your county
"wet." you would not think it right
or far for them to do so. would You?
Do you, then, think right or fair
for the dry" counties to use their
power to vote the big cities dry"
OF course not. You will do unto others
as you would have others do unto you.
The Golden Rule is always a safe
guide. 1t works both ways.
No "dry" county in this State has
ever yet done without the liquor rev
enues. The bulk of the road and school
funds paid by the State of Missouri
to the counties comes from this source.
In every instance the sum amounts 20
more than the county ever received
from dramshOps under the license sys-
tenn before the county was voted dry.
You may learn at your county court
house exactly how much your county =;
receiving today from the State for
road and school purposes. This is the
amount you will have to raise by direct
taxation in case Statewide prohibition
is adopted. There can be no more
state aid to counties if the State goes
dry-withOur an increase of about fir
ty per cent in State taxes.
In the last twO-year period. the
State school fund apportioned to the
various counties of this State, out of
the State Treasury, amounted to sub
stantially four millions of dollars Dur
ing the same period the State Treasury
itself received substantially four mil
lion dollars from the liquor industry of
this State in licenses and inspection
fees, not counting the regular taxes.
Query: If you strike down the liquor
of this State, what will he
rome of the State school fund? And
this question suggests another: If you
lon't' get this extra four million dol
airs by increasing the tax or real es-
tate, where are you going to get it?
And still another question: When II
zones to increasing the tax on real
state, how can you avoid placing the
leavy end of the burden on the farm.
n view of the fact that the present
assessments on real estate are already
much higher in the cities than in the
-ural districts ADV.
