H EDUCATED MANS BETTER CHANCES.

authenticated figures show that one out of every forty
college graduates in the United States attains that prominence
credited to conspicuous Americans, while only one out of every
10000 non-college graduates are ever put in that class. Thus
II Will b. seen that the college graduate has $50 times a better
chance to attain a conspicuous place than the man who has not
had a college training.
Statistics from high schools serve to confirm this idea. that
is, the real value OF education in the affairs of life. Recently
the Massachusetts Board of Education submitted figures show
ing the results OF its Investigations as to high school graduates
and those who leave school at the end Of the grammar school
year. These figures are equally significant:
"Average weekly earnings of the high school graduate.
At l8 years, SO; 20 years. SIS; % years, S21; 25 years. S31.

BRYAN FOR NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION.

William Jennings Bryan in an address delivered at a BAN
quet given in his honor at Washington = few nights ago, comes
that he will do what he can to commit the Democratic party to
that issue for 1920. Speaking for ourselves we are ready to
join him in that movement. Unquestionshly there is no human
agency or power that can stay the onward sweep Of prohibition
and the sooner it is settled and settled LAghk, the better for the
Nation. There is but one right way 70 settle the matter and.
that is for the government Of the United States to blacklist the
sale OF liquor. There are % states Of the Union. which COM
prise far more than half the geographical area of the coun-
try. that already have prohibition BY statute. by local option or
by constitutional amendment.
