TEACHERS, SALARIES.

In every municipality regardless Of it's size the public schools call for se- rious consideration. The education of the children is a matter, of vital i'm portance and it is or at least should be, the aim to provide the best that can be obtained. Opinions may differ regarding methods but when it comes to the matter of results it is perfect ,lv evident that they depend to a large degree upon the teachers and the ser vice which they render If teachers cannot be obtained the schools will suffer If those who are obtained are not up to the standard of efficiency necessary to meet the requirements the schools are bound to show it and spOor schools are no credit to a city. In fact no community which expects -lo grew and develop can afford to be neglectful of its teaching staff. No factory can successfully compete with smother unless it's equipment is taken rare Of, replenished and operated with the same degree of attention. What IS true of the factory is likewise true of the school.
 . The teachers in the local schools have asked for an increase in pay They are basing their claims upon what is paid for similar work In other cities of the state. The school board has agreed to grant each teacher a Q raise of S10O but the teachers believe that they should receive s200 over and above what they received during the iast school year For the purpose ol determining what the rate shall hs jor the next year. whether it shal average s950 or $1O50 a special town meeting has been called fer Friday evening. It is a meeting which should he largely attended and action taker which will do justice to the situation

not only striking at the Austro- Hun garians along the Italian front but by pushing forward its army which has been assembled in Albania. The gain there means that this activity is like ly to give greater importance to the Macedonian front to the extent at least of forcing the central powers to utilize larger numbers of men in those regions than would be required if ths armies assembled there were passive. Austria is thus under attack from two directions and just as much. as the reverse administered to the Aus trians on the Piave reacts adversely to the operations in France. those which have been undertaken in AL bania will have similar effect upon tie Italian front. Every menace Of this kind certainly has it's value and Italy in its new move is showing up strong.

REDUCING IDLE CARS.

In connection with the transporta- ton problems encountered in this country since the opening of the war, . serious trouble has been the diff culties experienced in getting the cars freed for other service after they have reached their destinations and in get ting the terminals cleared of freight so that more could be received. There has been a practice or using cars for storage purposes, or allowing them to wait under demurrage charges until the time could be found to unload them, and to do the same thing rela- tive to terminal storehouses.
 When such congestion depended up- on vessels to take the goods away, and there were not enough ships to meet the demands little relief was possible, except to curtail the forwarding of the goods, but when it came to a matter of handling domestic freight there was I big chance for improvement, and this there are reasons to believe is taking place because the shippers and consignees of freight are giving the
 matter the attention it deserves and because in certain of the large cen ters rules are being put into effect which makes the movement of the freight necessary or it will be moved for them.
 The purpose of this is to get better results from the railroad rolling stock that is already available It the rail- roads can get the cars they will keep them in motion and moving freight trains are what is desired. When Di- rector General McAdoo declares that the number of idle cars is showing great reduction it gives the right kind of evidence that regulations being put | into effect are accomplishing results

 Infernal Palace, Hades Dear Wilhelm:
 Saturday night while I was holding a conference of my expert despots anu murderers in the Internal Palace to devise plans for new frightfulness to suggest to you, an amazing thing hap pened. Catherine de Medici tainted and fell into the arms of Abdul the Damned, recently arrived from Fur key. A red stream trickling from the ceiling was dropping upon the head of the Turk
 Henry the Eighth got Catherine out. While JeZebel was reviving her with | an asbestos fan I hurried Caligula of Rome to investigate
 This morning CaIigula's commission l reported That the liquid which de- | luged the Internal Counsil Chamber was blood; that it was human blood evidently from Armenia; that it was Christian blood shed by Turks after the Imperial German Government had | called for holy war; that" 1 But here Abdul the Damned inter- rupted the reading of the report. "We 1 Turks used to do our killing by piece meal" he protested 50 that we could have more Christians left to kill an- | other time but this Germany calls for 1 efficiency. We have been awaiting the | word to rest but German officers are on hand to assist when we lag. We cannot listen to the mortified shrieks of the outside Christian world, but we have watched in vain for one nod from the kaiser. our ally and leader in kuI- tur, to give us some kind of excuse to leave enough for a later massacre but"
 Again the roof begin leaking. Abdul grew desperate This blood of Ar menia can follow me to Hades he cried, "but I am no lonegr Abdul the Damned. I am undamned. Wilhelm Wilhelm the Wretched has taken this blood of Armenia on his soul!"

It is a recognized principle through out the nation that an income of 10 per cent. a year on the gross value of 3 property is the correct basis In de- termining rents.
 That being the case how far is a landlord within his rights in lacking up the rent Of his tenants
 The attention of the Standard American has been called to three tenements on Andover street, the oc- cupants Of which have protested 8 raise in rent.
 There are six families in each tene- ment. making IS families in all. Ori- sinally each family paid rental oi s9 per month. This would make 3 gross income of $162 per month, ol $1 944 per year.
 These three tenements are in the city's tax list for $s,3O0 apiece, or S1S. geo for the three of them. At a rental of s9 a month then the property would be yielding an income of s1,s44 on an investment of $18,900

THE MISREPRESENTATION

Even though the success of the fourth
Liberty loan in the United States may
not have been an immediate contributing
factor to the downfall Of Turkey and
Austria through the influence Of depres-
sion, it is likely to prove Of considerable
force in determining the course Of Ger.
many when the terms Of an armistice are
proposed to that country. To nation
which, in addition to other troubles, has
been hard put to it to raise the money
necessary for carrying on the war, it will
be particularly depressing to learn that
the people of the United States have Just
contributed nearly billion dollars above
the six billions asked by the government
at Washington, Notwithstanding that
that request was the largest ever asked
by the government of any nation The
result of the drive for funds shows Ger
many that the people Of the United
States are back Of their government to
the limit in the prosecution of the war,
A corresponding citation will come to
the governments which are allied with
us in the carrying on of the war, for it
win indicate that despite excessive drains
the United States is not faltering the
least in its determination to see the war
through to successful elimination. The
effect on the American army will be de-
cidedly good, too, albeit our soldiers may
have had the quiet confidence that the
people back home would not fail them in
the emergency. So, taken all around, the
victory of the fourth Liberty loan will be
q powerful contributing factor toward
the determination of the wars speedy
victory for the United States and our al
lies. 1t was a good stroke.
