A Great Opportunity For Young

The demand for telegraph op-

main line railroad, telegraph and
freight blanks and books of re.
cord tickets, and in fact every
thing just as complete as found
in the best railroad offices, the
best practical teachers to be OBJ

in commercial and railway, tele-
graph, station and freight work
the Tyler Commercial College

Declares for Wilson

Roger w. Babson, of Massa-
chusetts, a lifelong republican,
aud recognized as leading finan-
eial expert, has declared un-
equivocally in favor of President
Wilson for second term. cit
is because Mr.. Wilson appears
more interested than Mr.. Hughes
in the moral side of such ques-
tions as banking, shipping, rail
roading tariff, labor and relations
with other nations, that | now
intend to vote for him in Novem-
ber,o said Mr.. Babson. He said
further:
81 am for Woodrow Wilson,
not because he is a democrat, for
| am not member Of the Demo
cratic party. | am for Woodrow
Wilson not because of business
reasons, for Mr.. Hughes poll
cies would temporarily bring me
greater profits. | am for Mr..
Wilson because | believe that he
has tried to apply the golden
rule to solving great national
and international problems
Any man, whether Republican or
Democrat, who will attempt this
will have my hearty support.
"Moreover, | believe that i
this moral issue, involved in the
election, were clearly put fortf
by his campaign managers he
would be sure of reelection. In
most things President Wilson
has already succeeded, III some
things his work is incomplete
but in all cases | believe he has
stood for the kindly, the humane
and the Christian principles
Should he be defeated it woulG
be a great blow to the cause o
righteousness
The Monticellonian., 1916-09-21


To exchange Wilson for
Hughes, at this time, when we
are sadly besieged on all sides
by the most serious conditions
would be like farmer in the
midst of of erop-time, swapping
his steady, safe and reliable
plough horse for a wild and I'M
broken broncho.
If all the American people were
patriotic instead of partisan
there would be no need of argu-
ment to induce them to support
Wilson, for his second term,
rather than Hughes; but as such
is, unfortunately, not the case,
it behooves those who love their
country well and sincerely, to
appeal to those who are con-
templating a change of admins
tration leaders to think we'll be-
fore they leap.
With Wilson as President we
know just what to expect, but
with Hughes. what?

Some people, of the Republi-

from the recent Main election,

Gratis, or a clean majority of 49,
925. In the election, just held,
the Republican majority was on

against the 1912 election. 1t
would not be at all surprising il

much damage to their local business.
People will consider the action of the
school board when they go to let con
tracts for big buildings.
The school board had perfect legal
right TO let the contract to Robert
Frost Daggart, indianapolis, but had
no moral right to do so. Richmond
architects could have done the work
as well as he. If the school board
had thought the local men incompetent
to do all the work, they could have
specified in the contract that some
consulting engineer be engaged to
oversee the plans 1t would have cost
the citizens not one cent more and
the school board could have demand
ed that Daggart be the consulting
architect.
IF this had been done, all plans
would have been drawn by local men.
However, they would have been con-
structed under the orders of Mr.. Dag
CERT. Under the contract which has
been let, Mr.. Daggert will not draw
the plans. He will supervise their
construction and the work will be
done by young men who are learning
the trade.
Have Personal Interest.
at is no more than natural that
local men would even do better Job
than the Indianapolis firm" continued
Mr.. Working. They have personal
interest in it and would be on the
ground to oversee the construction
work all the time.
1T cannot be that the indianapolis
firm could do the work any cheaper
than the Richmond men. The rules Of
the association to which Mr. Daggert
belongs say that no contract can be
taken for less than five per cent Of
the cost OF the structure. This is the
price the local men asked.
No Difference Locally.
ut would have mattered not to
which Richmond architect the work
went. The school board had been
asked to choose the one which it
thought most competent. All we want
ed was that Richmond tax payer
should receive the work. AS it is, the
local architects must help pay for the
work.
The architects spend their money
here. They could buy supplies cheap.
er at Chicago. but they do not. They
patronize home trade and the mer-
chants who pay taxes for the upkeep
OF the community. The architects, in
Directing to this action of the school
board are doing it il the spirit that
the merchants of the state are fight
ing to keep mail order houses from
receiving places at the State Fair to
advertise their goods"

lig waves, its storms and floods.
