, VICTORY is CERTAIN

Secretary McAdoo has no doubt
concerning the final outcome of the
>world war and the same spirit OF op-
timism which he voices should fill
the breast of every American citizen.
TO any who may be disposed to be
alarmed by the immediate outlook.
we commend the following passages
from the secretary's speech at Okla

trymen, by what is happening in Eu-
rope. We are not discouraged be-
cause the lines of our gallant asso-
ciates have been bent. We are not
afraid that they can break through
that western front. We are not dis
couraged because Russia has col
lapsed and that freed Prussian sol

THE SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS

Kansas reports a shortage of at
least thousand teachers for the
next school year. From Texas comes
word that there will not be enough
teachers to supply the schools of that
widespread state. Right here in Ok

seeking and finding other occupa.
tions is cause for concern There's
reason, as the breakfast food mag
nate used to say. 1t is to be found
in the fact that teachers find other
callings moro profitable than their
chosen profession. The remedy lies
in paying teachers somewhere near
what their services are worth to the
community. TO most cities and ru-
raj regions this Will be a startling in
novation, and will be blow to many

lengthy commentary the recent arrests of leaders
