THE SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS.

KANSAS reports shortage of at least thousand teach
- ers 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 Oklahoma
City the number Of teachers seeking and finding other
occupations Is for There's reason the
breakfast food magnate used to say 1t to be found in
the fact that teachers find other caings more profitable
than their chosen profession The remedy lies in paying
teachers somewhere what their services are worth
the community To most cities and rural regions this will
be a startling innovation, and will be blow to many
school board members, who feel that their life work is to
oct as watchdogs Of the treasury However painful the
process that is the answer and to it sooner
or later. Education must not lag and it is only natural
that II should cost more when everything else does

SAGE the Waste and Win the War
SOCIALISM AND HUNISM.

cPEAKING Of the socialist party in America Samuel
- Gomo.r, head Of the American Federation OF Labor
,ru, friend Of the workingman and true patriot ~
ne ba. demonstrated on occasions since TINS wa"
tQan said recently:
Thar. n no such thing a American socialist party
Ths American socialist ofganIauon mCew gsn preps'
AZ the one In 0emAny-it IL part OF me ueIh"h p'p"
gands- . tit l.,
That becomes q more interesting statement locally W
view Of the announcement that socialist daily paper
,o be published here The fact that Victor Berger alleged
d.oya is in some way connected with the local venture
,;v,, ,rens,h TO Gompers indictment Of the party Berger
recent senatorial campaign made on an aniIwar plat
form and he has been charged with dsloyalV surely ne
himself would not deny his part in anwar propaganda
II 1, time now that all people knew that they cannot De
.eain, this war and be friend Of America No man can
oppose our part in this without to some extent lending
aid and comfort to the enemy
Further to add to socialist publicity before that ogan
cation starts newspaper here it may be added that A. l.
Hitchcock socialist member Of the school board at Cleye
land was recently arrested for anLbery loan uiierance
Also that Rose Pastor Stokes socialist lecturer is under
indictment at Kansas City for violation Of the espionage
act
Those are a few Of the types to whom the socialists
look for leadership and guidance The dockets OF the courts
Of the nation would reveal number Of others Of similar
stripe is notable fact that men once prominent in the
party and who STILL doubt adhere to the real socalstc
principles have deserted the organization because they found
Il vehicle for dsoyal propaganda We might say more
about the socialist party and its activities since the war be-
e,n but this should be enough for one time

KANSAS CITY's CONTRIBUTION.

DATRlOTISM has been listed the acid test in poll
tics, as it is in many other fields of endeayor. It
remained for Kansas City police commissioner to set that
standard for suds This aborer for loyalty has decided that
the beer which makes Milwaukee famous cant he sold at
the mouth Of the Kaw, unless it is proved beyond per
adventure that the brewers who brew there with the
old flag 1t is true that anything from Milwaukee is apt
to suspicion and that the leading manufacturers OF
matted beverages up that way have names of sauer krau
sound have most of the beer barons in this far flung
country Still reasonable that Pabst or Schl
should be patriotic Helm All of them made their
money in this country in business which is likely to be
come lost art long, anyhow. And patriotism should
suggest honor Of the highest sort 1t can't be elevated by
mixing it with the contents of cold bottle The police
commissioner went long way, considering the load he
brought back

Painful Dental Work.

In the time of Nero there were pro fessional dentists who could replace lost teeth with artificial ones made of sycamore wood, which were fas- tened to their natural neighbors with gold wire. A gold plate with several teeth attached has been found in an Etrusean tomb. But those dentists knew nothing of the art of excavating and filling cavities. When a tooth be- came too painful they removed it, not by pulling it but by prying it out in q manner that must have been most distressing to the sufferer.

Ones Personal Influence,

Every one casts a shadow. There hangs about us sort of penumbra-a strange, indefnable something-which we call personal influence, which has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we will, as we lay aside a gar ment. It is like something that al- ways pours out from our life, like light from lamp, like heat from a flame, like perfume from a flower.
