I to maintain the schools, therefore
should have majority control Of
the schools, rather than repre-
sentatives of Big Business, Great
Wealth or High Society. They
resent the Charley Mitchell sneer
that the representative, middle
class citizens now on the board,
are unfit for directorships. They
wish and expect that the Big In
terests have ample representation
but not to an extent that will
permit arbitrary and autocratic
methods on the board.
The so-called Autocrats some
weeks ago announced their ticket,
J embracing G.. Francis Colman,
John Peyton and Frank Grass
weller. The hackers of this ticket
never have forgiven the people
for injecting their choice Of
Bourgeoise blood in the board
year ago. All this year, a per-
fsistent, aggressive aganda
has been carried on, apparently
for the purpose of causing the
public to believe that the auto
cratic old regime is best quail
fled to administer public school
affairs; that the men elected last
July were unfit for directors :;
that the schools had gone to ruin
when Denfeld was dismissed; that
Supt. Hoke has proved a. super
man, worked miracles and saved
Duluth s schools from irrepara-
BILE ruin.
The Progressives have not
seemed inclined to 60 out Of
their way to make Supt. Hoke an
issue in this election. They be-
lieve that policies and principles
are more important than one
mere man. The autocrats have,
however, made Supt. Hoke's well
fare a condition and a measure in
urging their ticket or opposing
the other ticket. If Supt. Hoke
must be made an issue, his most
jealous friends probably can be
accommodated if they insist long
enough and strongly enough.
! A year ago, the democratically.
inclined patrons Of the schools
solicited Frank Crasweller to run
on their ticket. At that time he
represented that his professional
work would not permit him to
take time to properly attend to
the duties of a director. 1t is
understood that, this year, he
feels it duty to take a direct
orship and to serve the public to
the best of his superior ability.
Although first named by the Au-
tocrats, those pushing the peoples
progressive cause esteem Mr..
Crassweller so highly and have
such confidence in his fairness,
integrity and loyalty to the pub
lie welfare that they considered
it a pleasure and a duty to put
him on their ticket also. His
consistent advocacy of municipal
ownership commends him to the
masses.
The representatives Of the
many have laid the foundation
for an era Of better feeling be-
tween the two elements on the
/ board Of education. Even if the
Autocrats should win in the com
ing election, which is not at all
likely, greater amity, concord
and efficiency can be the result
next year if they profit by the
years experiences and cease to
sniff at their associates who come
| from less prominent and less
wealthy circles.
The progressive democrats be-,
leve that all classes should have

that the rank and file, the aver

The annual election for selec-
ton of three members of the
school board for a term Of three
years each, will be held one week
hence. Saturday, July 20, between
the hours Of 6 a. m. and 7 p. m.
Voters also will have the op-
portunity and duty Of passing
on the question Of authorizing
the issue of school bonds in the
sum Of 100000.
Both men and women of legal
voting age will have a right to
participate in the coming elec-
ton and the outlook is that a
greater number will do so than
for many years.
AS these lines are written, the
official roster Of candidates is
as follows, viz:
DR.. James G.. Armand, No. 1925
E.. Second St., who has served a
short term Of one year and now
stands for. rezeleetian-,-..4s--,.-ss--.=,e-.
G. Francis Colman, No. 1924
Woodland Ave., at present treas
urer of the school board, now
standing for reelection after
several years service as a d.
rector.
Frank Crasweller, No. ..47O1
Cooke St., a prominent local law
yer, who proves so acceptable
that both Progressives and Auto
Gratis have nominated him.
William J. Farmer, No. s15 E..
Fourth St., printer employed
on the Duluth Evening Herald,
who runs as a representative of
organized labor, independently,
without actual place on either Of
the two tickets.
Frederick D. Knight, Morgan
Park, storekeeper for the Mime
sofa Steel company, who runs in
dependently, without any public
statement as to why or what he
stands for.
John N. Peyton, No. 5625 w.
Sixth St., cashier of a West Du-
luth bank, who was picked weeks
ago to run on the ticket Of the
Autocrats.
DR.. John G. schaibly, No. 212
Twenty-second Ave. W., pastor Of
Grace NJ. E. church, educator,
lecturer and a most patriotic
worker in all war activities. Mr..
Schaibly's candidacy is expected
to appeal to those who desire a
director highly educated, broadly
experienced in educational work
and man with energy and en-
thusiasm for whatever he un-
dertakes.
L. U. Young; No. 81 Wadena
St., a. real estate man, active in
church, temperance and politi-
cal work, and credited with be-
ing the man who first picked
Magney for mayor. Mr.. Young
has, as yet, neglected to take the
public into his confidence as to
why he is candidate or for
what he. stands. So far as known
he is playing a lone hand, indie
pendently of any collective
ticket.
Two main tickets are embraced
by the foregoing list. The peo-
pies progressive ticket includes
DR.. Armand, DR.. Schaiblys and
Frank Crassweller. The back
ers of that ticket stand for high
efficiency, economy and real
democracy in the public schools.
They maintain that a teacher s
employment and advancement
should rest on educational and
personal merit, rather than pull
and social position. They realize
that the plain, common people
furnish most Of the children for
the schools and are taxed heavily

Two years ago, at the time the
Old Regime on the school board
brought supt. Hoke to Duluth
from Ole Virginny, T. H. Schultz
was elected principal Of the Den
field high school at West Duluth
to succeed the popular Scott A.
Foster.
Last February, after having
been reelected at an advanced
salary, Principal Schutte sud-
denly and unexpectedly resigned.
Ever since then, from time to
time, many inquiries have been
made as to the real reasons for
the resignation. -.
Supt. Hoke, at the time, verbal
ly presented the resignation to-
the committee on schools with the
information that Mr.. Schultz
wished to 60 to Columbia uni
versity to take advanced study,
and to perfect himself in school
administration. -,
Supt. Hoke declares that he.
knows nothing further than that
and, in support Of his statements,
offers in evidence Mr.. Schultz s
letter Of resignation, dated Feb.
II, in which he said in part:
"My reason for this is simply
that [ feel should prepare for
greater service by returning to
| school and finishing the work
required for a Doctors degree.
Further, I feel that there is
hardly enough of a future at
tached to this position to war
rant my staying here any longer.
My unwillingness to serve in this
position another year should in
no sense be interpreted to cast
a reflection on you or your ad-
ministration."
For some weeks now, contrib
utors to the New Tribune
"Opinions of Others" column
have been prying into the rea-
sons why Mr.. Schultz. quit, and
also, have seemed to hold director
Firoved responsible for keeping
back information that he might
give. As the names of most of
these contributors cannot be
found in the directories, the
communications may have been
faxed up in the News Tribune
office to help discredit Mr.. Fro
we'd with his constituents, the
News Tribune having said editor
tally that Mr.. Firoved and those
elected on the ticket with him
were incompetent and unfit to
be school directors.
Inquiry satisfies the Rip-saw
that Mr.. Schultz was a very un-
popular principal at West Du-
luth and that there was much
behind his resignation besides
his desire for a degree of doctor
of philosophy.
1t is frankly stated that a
committee of West Duluth men
waited on Mr.. Schultz and de-
manded that he resign, which he
did.
There is another statement to
the effect that the entire body
of high school students would
have gone on strike had not Mr..
Schultz resigned. =
Principal Schutte's first an
popularity was due to his arbi-
trary and autocratic manner Of
administering his position. His
physical roughness, if not bru-
tality, also put him in extremely
bad at West Duluth.
1t is stated that, on one oc.
casion, he tore the waist entirely
off a student whom he wished to
discipline. He was cocky, dom
meering and arrogant, if not in
sulting, to patrons who called

WILSON MONUMENT IN ROME!
Proposed by Central Committee OF
Anti-German Leagues.

ROME, Oct. CBy MaiD The CEN
trail committee of Anti-German leagues
which has headquarters in Genoa. pro-
poses to erect a monument to Presi-
dent Wilson in the capitol in Rome.
SignOr Larizza. deputy from the col
lege of Melito-POrtO Salvo. has an
nounced his support of the project.
writing:
81 applaud the idea of a monument
to President Wilson. Nobody more
than he is worthy. as the great apos-
tie of dawning universally in the new
epoch of the world. In the heart Of
Rome, immortal proclaimer Of civili-
cation and justice. the figure of the
American messiah will assume gigan-
tic size. Wilson deserves the graft

or scared stiff? Well, that's the same
thing going on within you as when
you have so-called shellshOck. The
fellow who went time after time to
propose to his girl and couldn't make
his tongue work, had the same thing.
only on a smaller scale than they do at
the front.
These DISCOVERIES about what they
used to call shellshOck are interesting
and valuable, because they show that
the victim has merely lost control ov-
er some faculty. He may stutter or
his head may shake or he may have
the trembles. but it's far from being
incurable.
Just as the chap who wants to pro-
pose finally gets his tongue and gets
the idea over to her, so the shellshOck
patient gets back TO himself again. The
psychology of the word has been had.
who have been working on the prob
lem. So they have requested that the
word "shellshock" be forbidden in the
army.
However. you can't prevent a man
from thinking what he wants TO say.
If he can't say it. and thinking is as
bad as saying. so a more practical
group of doctors got busy and figured
out just how ordinary shellshOck is.
Nobody is scared of it any more, since
it ca nbe cured, sometimes in less than
10 minutes, so it really doesn't make
any difference whether you say she'll
shock or not.
The best cure, it seems, is to put
your mind on practical and concrete
work. Washing dishes. saving a log,
or knitting sox would be good for
shellshOck, because they give you

"REMEDIES" DO REAL HARM
Lack of Medical knowledge Shown in
Amateur Cures.

Those old-fashiOned disease proven
tives that do no good except to re
lieve the minds Of the deluded users
are beginning to appear as a result
of Spanish influenza epidemic.
The only way to keep from getting
influenza. according to medical author
tiles, is to keep away from crowds.
get plenty of fresh air and take eXer-
else.
Some persons wonder why diSin-
fectant is not sprinkled in places
where crowds ordinarily collect, such
as the postoffice, banks, stores and
in elevators. This sort of dininfect-
ant does no good, according TO a Co
lumbia doctor To kill germs disin-
fectant must be strong. If it is strong
enough to do good, it cannot be en-
dured for any length of time by any
live thing.
One old-fashioned idea is that car
bolic acid sprinkled in a room disin-
fects it. 1t does no good and may
even do harm by irritating the lungs
of the persons who breathe it.
Another old remedy for colds that
is being used now in an effort to pre-
vent influenza from developing into
pneumonia or in cases of pneumonia
is the application of plasters of va
rious kinds. These irritate the skin
considerably.
In severe cases of pneumonia
breathing is difficult and a small
amount of oxygen is supplied to the
body through the skin. If the skin in
irritated by blistering plasters. it can
not act normally and this oxygen can
not be taken in.
A lack of medical knowledge is
shown by some persons who ALWAYS
put their handkerchiefs over their
noses when they go into public plac-
es. but breathe through their mouths
and inhale the germs just the same.
