AZ High School
Boys in FAVOR OF
Wyoming Trcining

one hundred and forty-two stu
dents Of the south Bend high school
have received the consent of their
parents and are willing to take the
Wyoming military training course,
according to a report Thursday re-
ceived by Principal J. =. McCowen.
Following the special meeting Of
the students Wednesday morning.
which was addressed by Capt. f. Z.
Steever. originator OF the training
system, and col l.. r. Gignilliat of
Culver. at which the students were
given TO understand that they would
not have to buy their military uni
forms il they took the course, they
were asked 10 consult their parents
and report Thursday if they decid-
ed favorable on the course. 1t is
believed that a few more students
will express themselves today and
that a number of parents would fur
nish their boys with uniforms.
ON the other hand, it is indi-
Gated that there is "a decided SEN
timent among the athletes and some
OF the students at the high school
against the introduction of the sys-
tenn here. They fear that the mil
itary training course will kill ath-
letics at the high school. Burn
ham, athletic director Of the high
school, is inclined TO this opinion,
it is said George a. Cooper. ply
steal director of the Y. NJ C. A., has
expressed himself as decidedly
against the introduction Of the
Wyoming system into the high
school on the grounds that athletics
and gymnasium work is a much
better method of physical develop
ment, because, he believes, the high
school boy is too young 10 take a
course in military training.
The final decision as TO whether
the Wyoming system shall be intro
duced here will probably be taken
by the school board at an early
meeting.

CLARK IS AGAIN
HOUSE SPEAKER

Washington. d. c., April 2.-The
Democrats, with the aid of four of the
five Independents, organized the
House when the new Congress as
sembled today, re-electing Speaker
Champ Clark of Missouri and sweep
ing into office with him all the other
Democratic caucus nominees.
Mr.. Clark received 217 votes against
2O5 for Representative Mann, Repub-
llcan, who lost the support of five of
his party colleagues.
All the Democrats present voted for
Mr.. Clark, and were joined by Rep
resentatives Schall, Progressive, Min
nesota; Martin, Progressive Protec-
ZIONIST, Lonisiana; London, Socialist.
New York, and Randall, Prohibition
list, California.
The five Republicans who did not
support Mr.. Mann were Gardner.
Massachusetts, who voted for Repres-
entative Lenroot of WISCONSIN,: GRAY.
New Jersey, and Dalingcr Massa-
chusctts, who voted for Representa-
tive Gillette of Massachusetts. and
Haskell. New York and James, Mich
igan, who voted present"
Representative Fuller, Independent,
Massachusetts, voted Tor Representa-
tive Lenroot.
10 the surprise of the Republicans,
Representative Schall placed Mr.
Clark in nomination. For a time it
was thought he had done so by in
advertence, but later it developed he
acted through Encouragement with
Democratic leaders. He asked per-
mission to address the house Just af-
ter the first roll call, and then declar-
ing the international situation de-
manded united support Of President
Wilson, aroused tremendous cheering
by announcing that although with his
sightless eyes he could be Of no use
on the battlefield he could at least
support the President by casting
vote for Champ Clark.
Selection of the minor officers of the
house was delayed by the Republicans
who still hoping to obtain one or two
places, demanded separate roll calls
on each office. Democrats were elect
cd to all OF the four contested Offices,
however, and the House then pro-
cecdcd to adopt its rules and organize
committees.

Leader Enterprise Printing Pays.
The Mena weekly star., 1917-10-18

the pay of these laborers is based on the average times-on times when food and. other necessities could be secured at not far from half the prices now existing At no time in history has the wage of the average laborer given him more than enough Co meet the demands Of everyday life But seldom has the wase-earn- CT much chance Co lay by a fand e meet sickness and death n h- fam
 Y or loss of employment from any reason on his own part Even less can be look forth io a competence for old age.
 Under present conditions. then. the labnrers outlook is far from promising unless, peacefully or by other measures, he is able to se- cure pay for his labor commensur- ate with his increased cost of maintenance.
 It might be said that he should be patriotic willing to work for less actual return and thus help his country. But he sees the manufac-
 turing concerns doubling and treb- ling their profits, the coal mine op- orator shooting his prices skyward, the government encouraging the farmer and the stock grower with promises of unheard of figures for their products. And as he, the la horer, pays these high prices and sees the others taking down the larger gains, it would be as foolish as it is unfair to expect him to qui- etly and smilingly lahor on. accept ing the penalties for patriotic or other reasons, while the others get the benefits.
 These are, indeed times that try mems souls and it would be re- markable if even the brainiest and most just statemsen of our land are able to maintain even a passably fair balance between the elements that compose the web and wool of in- dustry in our country.
