DEMOCRATS Will

sire Change Of Government

The democratic town committee
will assemble this evening in the Of
flee of Chairman William f. Man
San in the National Bank building,

gressive campaign in the coming
spring election The outlook, ac-
cording to the leaders, assumes q
brighter aspect daily, and before the
candidates are chosen, great hopes
are entertained of success in April.
it has been rumored from time to
time that the local democrats would
endorse several republicans now in
office, but this is met with general
Genial by the leaders. 4 ticket from
mayor down, will be selected at the
city convention it is announced and
nothing will be left undone to elect It.
The party leaders are satisfied that
the voters are tired with the present
administration, not entirely with the
mead of the government alone, but
the entire official family. The three
cornered fight now being waged
among the republican aspirants for
the mayoralty is considered by the
democrats as an indication Of dissat-
isfaction with the methods of govern
ment. The democrats also point out
the weak common council as consti-
tuted at present, at the same time
calling attention to the fact that
over three-quarters of the beneficial
legislation enacted in the past four
years by that body was introduced by
the democratic members.
Representative members of the
party in every ward will be selected to
contest for places in the council. In
keeping with the established custom,
no names are given out as to who will
head the ticket but there is q general
belief that DR.. John r. Martin will be
the choice for the mayoralty. The
democrats are also preparing to wage
strenuous campaign for the offices
of town clerk and comptroller, it be
ing believed that, with effort, these
places can be won over by strong can
didates.

\ First Lesson On the War.

(By W. f. Lindsey, Governor of New
NeXico)
War. government, and religion are
induces to the self definition of ma
tons and peoples.
For contrast of the self-defpition of
the Imperial German Government
with the Government of the United
States of America index and define, in
parallel, the wars, government and
religion of the two nations.
Under the guidance of Otto Won Bis
marck. 1.-The man of blood and iron -
Prussia and part of the German States
have fought three wars:
That with Denmark in 1864, a
war OF conquest. ravishing that
nation of SchlesWig- IoIstein.
That with Austria in 1866. a
war of subjugation, effectively re-
moving q rival.
That with Franco III 1870, q
war of conquest, dcspoiling that
nation of Alsace-L Lorraine and a
billion dollars
Under the guidance of the people of
the United States our nation has
fought five wars:
That with England in 1875, es-
tablishing a new government, de-
irving its just powers from the
consent Of the governed.
That with England in 1872. for
the freedom of the seas.
That with Mexico in 1916, ex-
tending the blessings of a free
government to q bleeding people.
That with Secession in 1861,
ing involuntary servitude.
preserving the Union and abolish
That with Spain in 1898, gra-
tuitously extending the blessings
of liberty to enslaVed peoples.
This present, fourth war for Ger
many and the sixth for the United
States is in line with their previous
wars. For Germany. conquest and the
enthroning of the power of might.
For the United States, freedom and
the gloritication of the power of right.
Writers and speakers are fond of
saying that the present war is a con-
test between autocracy and democracy,
neglecting to define either in terms of
simple mprehension.
Autocracy is that form of govern
ment in which the strong, the rich,
and the wise ride upon the backs OF
the weak, the poor. and the simple.
Democracy is that form of govern
ment in which the strong. the rich,
and the wise raise up and support the
weak, the poor, and the simple.
In an autocracy, government pro-
ceeds from above downward, in the
form Of a thou shalt" or Il thou
shalt not"
In a democracy, government pro
ceeds on a level and is 'of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the peo-

Salaries For Educators.

Carl Goodwin in Waehiactpn Times
A man will take 1r.. w>.,4 looking
into the past pcrtos 49, and qdal-
ifications Of d ch"ur' ~. ia take care
of an automobile at $50 month.
and that same man will aa? 40 ouea-
tons at all about the school teaching
woman to whom he sends his precious
children.
He knows that a chauffeur may
make junk out Of a $500 car in two
seconds, and he also knows that 4
woman in the public schools as 4
teacher is there because God made
her to be teacher, and that she will
be the greatest influence fo.. GOOD in
the lives of thousands Of men and
women. That is. next to good moth
erS, of course.
There is no one on earth except
the teacher to whom tho world or
trusts its children without u fear or
without Il question:
Nor is there anyone on oLrth who
receives SO low a salary as 4 teacher.
What is more precious the automobile
or the child? Yet the MAN v tn 4
chauffeur at $50 a. month sends mis-
precious children to be. guided and
trained by a. woman Of skill and OK
perience and possessed of mat gold
en- touch which only teachers seem
to have-working for something
around $500 a year
Any member of Congress who cares
to look into the matter viii realize
that the present pay scale for teach
ers is not only disgra ccfultr low, but
that the present system in The Dis
trict of Columbia offers 10 induce
ment to merit. For pie after a
teacher has climbed to the fifth
grade, which takes her about eight
years, she receives the salary of $500
and from there it will take her 1o1
years to reach the maximum of
$1100. During all Of this climb the
only requisite for promotion is length
of service. She may be as great &
teacher as ever lived, but the present
ihflexible system allows her to put
in machine-liIle time at the most use
full and IaboTious service in he world
for which the reward in the Capital
Of the United States is an average an
nual increase of thirty collars.
The Grade Teachers Union is ASH
ing for q minimum of 81 900 year.

work to put a little feasibility into the
