WEST VIRGINIA HAS
TEACHER FAMINE

Charleston, w. Va, Sept. S.--West
Virginia is suffering from school
teacher famine, according to the state
department of schools. The military
draft and war time salaries offered by
Industries of various kinds have drawn
heavily on the teachers. and schools
all over the state have found them
selves handicapped when they resum-
ed their sessions this week. Frantic
calls are being made by the department.
OF schools fer teachers, but the depart
ment is helpless, one high school open
ing without a principal. The situation
is especially acute in the high schools
of the state. practically ninety per cent
OF the teachers being of draft age ana
not being exempted.

A terrific effort is being made to
overthrow the constitution of the state
Of North Dakota and to insert in its
stead one that will be satisfactory to
the fellows who are running the non-
partisan league. 1t is said that there
are enough members of the house who
can be led around by the nose to make
possible anything advocated by the
guys running the League. In the
senate, however, there is all sorts of
trouble. There are only eighteen
league members out Of forty-nine in
the senate. Pressure of all kinds is
being brought to bear on the others
and threats of political execution is
bringing few others into line
Whether or not they can corral the re-
Guired number of votes, however, re-
mains to be seen. The only kind Of
constitutional convention measure
that seems to suit them is one where.
by they can use the men they elected
last year TO the legislature as members
of the convention. with the addition
of few to be appointed by Frazer.
The opponents of the proposition re-
fuse TO stand for such packed house
and the merry war is on.

The lecture at the opera house
Thursday night, the fourth number of
the lyceum course, was not as we'll at
tended as it merited. Lecturer Adams
had an excellent subject, it was pre-
scented in striking manner and he
proved some of his points most vivid
ly. HIS subject dealt to great ex.
tent with the influence of ones mind
over his body, and the relative chance
of success or failure according to the
determination in ones makeup. He
started his lecture by informing the
audience that he had hobby for test
ing the ventilation OF the buildings in
which he spoke, and that he would
sprinkle peppermint in front of him,
asking that each person in the audi
cnce hold up his or her hand as they
could smell the peppermint. Hand
after hand was raised until gradually
reports had been received from the
rear end of the room He then
launched into his subject which dealt
with the influence on the physical per.
son of the mental attitude, and that
what one believed strong enough would
likely be the actual case In the mid
die of his lecture he explained to the
audience that the peppermint the,
thought they had inhaled was nothing
but common water, with no odor. what
ever.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Record
appears report Of some Of the excit-
ing developments at Bismarck when J :.
E. Robinson, non-partisan league
member of the supreme court, broke
loose
The Record is not in sympathy with
the spirit of some of the fool laws that
are on the statute books of North Da-
kota. But, it is absolutely in accord
with the attitude of the attorney gen.
eral. Mr.. LANCER proposes to cinch
his position by leaving no loop-holes
BY not enforcing the laws on Sunday
closing, he doesn't propose to injure
his position in attempting to close out
the bootleggers. Likewise, by not
enforcing the prohibition laws. he
doesn't intend to hamper his action ir
prosecuting thieving, burglary or the
more serious crimes In other words
LANCER will enforce the laws as he
finds. them and then it is up to the leg
slature to get rid of such measures as
are not reasonable.
The old Blue Laws of the Massachu.
sets Bay Colony have no place on the
statute books of today. But the way
to get rid of them is to enforce them
until the public demands their repeal
1t is said that the Legislature will dc
pretty much that very thing this year
rs result of Langer's action.
But, regardless of the merits or de.
merits of the law, it is sorry spec.
tacle to see one of the members of the
state supreme court jumping out ant
attempting to hinder the attorney gen
eral in doing his duty. 1t is said thai
Robinson acted like ono beside himself

Der of the supreme court, that tn,
places open up again ut once, in de

authorities, is sufficient to make Nortl
Dakota laughing stock before tn

on cases appearing before the suprem
court. But to jump in and writ
and phone peace officers to pay no at
tention to the orders of their superior
is a pretty dangerous business An
the worst of it is that Robinson will b
able to hang on to his present job 70
six years.
This paper made some very pert
ncnt remarks as to Robinson prior t
the election. And chickens som
times come home to roost.
Let us hope and pray that Birdsc
and Grace are an improvement on the
running-mate.
