SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS.

We notice in our exchanges that
school boards in neighborlng cities
are up against q serious proposition
N consequence OF the scarcity OF
teachers. Many have resigned III
order to accept more lucrative posi-
lions. and it is a difficult matter 10
secure others to fill their places. n
nresent conditions in the country have
caused a sharp advance not only III
The necessaries of life, but in salaries
and nersons who a few years ago
were content with comparatively
meapre pav are compelled, by the
order of things, to seek places which
command more satisfactory wages.
iaborers are receiving double the
amount they secured a short t'me
800. and even with the greatly ad-
vsnced scales it is almost Impossible
10 secure help. as the demand is far
greater than the supply.
The school teacher is naturally
forced to look around and secure II
he or she can, positions more remu-
erative than that Of teaching school,
A meeting %: the School Board
# this city was held last night. at
which the designations OF two teach
ers were received. Petitions from a
plumber Of others for Increased pay
were received. II was stated that
ether teachers would probably resign
in the neal future.
The Alexandra Schesl Board is W
against a serious proposition. The
estimates for the New school year
have been made and Council has me:
the same by aaxkins she Nscessar!
appropriation. The teachers have
signed contracts, and it was hoped
III things would proceed satisfactorily
But there are ymlAsuS signs in thu
sky.
Alexandria has expended a consid-
crsbla amount Of money during the
past few years in its public schools.
New buildings have been erected,
teachers salaries increased, and every
reasonable movement for increasing
the efficiency Of the schools has been
in~auguratcd. 1t is unfortunate. al
most at the beginning of the new
school year; that the board is made
to face pegplexing conditions.

LEN TALIUNIS.

As the Baltimore Sun observes, it
is easy for us over here to criticize
the reported determination of the
British Government to make repri-
sails for German air raids. If we had
suffered as the English people have
from this shameful rrussian war
fare on ome and children and
other noncombatants; if we had been
visited night after night by these
demons Of the skies; if we had seen
our relatives and friends struck
down in their homes by these assas-
sins of the Kaiser; if We had seen
hundreds of little children manned
or slaughtered for the benefit of a
despotism which. as Mr.. Roosevelt
nut sit, "has reduced -savagery to a
science" our hearts would doubt
less cry aloud for vengeance quict'
and complete. and we would not care
very much how we secured it.
But we must remember we are,
fighting German soldiers, not Ger
man m and children. And it is
not at all improbable that the Kaiser
would he glad to have German hate
revived BIZ the slaughter of women
and Children. to have the German
people aroused again to fury just as
they are beginning to be inclined to
mace

In view of the repulsive and abb

hereby declare:

spoarsible for the brutal and cruei
government that they have created
and admiringly support;
That | desire to have no further
relations with the people of Ger

That | will not condone any OF
the crimes of Germany and the
Germans;
THAT | insist upon the punishment
of Germany in the form OF rndemni-

That | am opposed to opening the

That so far as may be practicable
vii! buy and use no G~erman-made

This is all wrong, and Numerically

who are being sacrificed daily in the
futile attempts of the Kaiser and his
war lords. who have bankrupted THEN
country and caused the slaughter OF
millions Of their subjects, to perpet-
tate an autocracy which is at present

DON'T FAB. TO REGISTER.

The registrars in the four wards
of the city will be prepared tomorrow
to enter the names Of voters here
tofore unregistered. In order To vote
at the election next month sutfra-
rams must have their names on the
lists which will be turned over to
the officials AT the polls.
While there will be no formidable
opposition to the candidates recently
nominated by the democrats. it is
the duty of every member of the
party to cast his ballot. The reason
is obvious, and there is no need for
the Gazette to recapitulate what it
has often said upon the eve Of an
election.
We Will. however. repeat q warn-
irg often given in this connection.
Virginia on one occasion since the
civil war cast her electoral vote for
a republican for President, and m
our city many years ago the domi-
rent party was defeated by apathy
apon the part Of members Of the
organization.
ThoroughncSs is essential in any
thing we do. There should be no suS-
picion Of lukewarmness in 4 state
or community when voters are called
% select candidates for official
positions.
As was observed this summer. our
city officials have long ago shown
themselves 10 be the right men in the
right places. Hence they will have Il
walkoysr. The democratic party has
for over half a century proven to be
the organization which should gov
crn the Old Dominion. and the good
sense IF the great majority i'll the
state has Kept that party in power.
1t will. Of course. be continued. but
Ict al vie 70 swell the majority for
the nominees.

FEDERAL AGENTS BUSY
Inquiry viii Be Made of Al
legged "ProtectiOn' Case.

The Richmond Journal says SCI
cret service agents are continuing
their investigations into the charges
made to them by B. +. Brady, OF
Washington, N. c., to the effect that
he was promised immunity IN bring
ing liquor to North Carolina. Just
how far Braddy's statements accord
with the facts has not yet been de-
.finitely ascertained. His signed
statement, making the charges, is in
the hands of the local agents.
Brady stated that j. +. Tayloe
told him that he was formerly con-
nected With the finance committee
Of the United States senate under
Senator Simmons. If this is true OF
whether Tayloe was ever in any way
connected with a national commit
tee or not is not known, OF course,
beyond the statement made by Brad
DIV. Mention of Senator Simmons
committee was made by Brady him
self, it was pointed out by the secret
service agent, and not sponsored by
the secret service men themselves,
It is a part Of the statement given
Nv Braddv, +as}a
While the department of justice Is
making a thorough investigation ai
the case, nothing has been brought
out to show that Tayloe could WELD
any influence with any member OF
the senate in regard to liquor snip
ments. Beyond the statement OF
Brady that Tayloe told him he was
formerly connected with Senator
Simmons committee the secret ser
vice men have nothing that in any
way connects any of the members OF
the national body with the ease.
1t was because Brady mention
ed this in connection with his state
ment that he believed himself I'M
mune that the officers determined up
or a full investigation. 1t is the gen
eral belief that Brady thought to
eyonerate himself by mentioning
Tayloe's former connection with the
senate committee and that probably
the mention of Senator Simmons
committee believed he could fright
en- off the officers.
