EDUCATION OF PRESIDENTS
By l. C. Williams.

Just now our young people are thinking aboat schools and colleges and the places where they will get the hest advantages and be best equipped foI the duties of life. IL will be of interest and profit to consider the education of the presidents of the United States and the kind of school ing they received and how they were trained for their exalted position
 Eight of the tw,uty-seven presidents Were educated in the parochial, pri- vate or public schools and did not at tend college These were Washing ton, Jackson Van Buren, Taylor, Fil- noTe Lincoln Johnson and Cleveland. The majority of the schools they at tended were under control of a church and usually presided over by minis ter or a good christian teacher The remaining l9 were college bred and 'he majority of them also took course Y their professions in a university ol professional school of these l9. one was educated at military school, U

Garfield and Woodrow Wilson. ard both ot these men received their en- tire literary course at church schools.
 This lead of the church school not only holds with the presidents. but also extends into the various walks of life and with other great leaders in American history. Dan. Webster John C. Calhoun, W. J. Bryan, Champ Clark, Robert Lansing and hosts of others were educated in the schools of the church.
 These church and religious schools are still running and ready to give the same advantages as were given to these men of renown and our sons and daughters will find no superior ad- vantages anywhere else.
 No uncertain note is heard there in regard to the Bible and the funda- mentals of religion nor in regard to patriotism. In the great crisis now upon us we rest easy when we realize that our cause is in the hands of god fearing men and those who have been trained in the highest ideals and who have had the best advantages and made use of them. Our trusted lead CTS today, in the great majority ol cases. have been educated by the church and are we'll grounded in prin- ciples of christianity and the rights of man.

leaders among our statesmen and other men of renown. It is not be- cause they have more money, for they do not have as much as they need and rest entirely upon voluntary gifts to do their great work As a rule the church school has a minister as presi- dent or several of them in the faculty and the minister has a high standing for thorough education and probity of character as we'll as breadth of vision and depth of thought. In the early history of this country the minister would preach on Sundays in log church and then would teach all the week in same building or one like it in point of structure. It soon came to be, then that the students of the land were under control and direction of the preachers and what was the result? Well, both the MecklenburG and Philadelphia Declarations of ln- dependence were written by men tut ored in church schools and mainly taught by ministers-Ephraim Ere yard author of the first and Thomas Jefferson of the latter. Also the ma jority of the signers of these Declara
 tions were educated by ministers and the same can be said of the authors and signers of the Constitution of the United States. We udge a tree by it's fruits and these great documents are considered certainly as good fruit and they are the result of thorough religious and literary schooling by ministers and christian laymen.
 Then again, the church school teaches the Bible, the best book in the world, and also teaches christian eth ics. church history and the evidences of christianity, in addition to an e1- tensive course in literature, science and philosophy for the church is not the enemy of learning but rather the friend and promoter. \ student to attain the highest aims of life must have the best equipment and the church gives the very best and so has been so wonderfully successful in training our great leaders. Many cen slider the church and preachers mar row and fit only to train preachers and sectarians and not able to give an extensive course. but the facts con tradict these ideas. The two men re- garded as having the most extensive and thorough literary education among our presidents were James A.

SEVERE BREAK IN
 COTTON MARKET
Rumor of Possible Government Control Causes Much Excite ment-Closed at Net Decline of no to 132 Points.

New York. Sept. 5.--The announce ment that committee of the War Industries Board would be appointed to determine whether government control of distribution and stabiliZ- ing of prices were necessary, caused great excitement and a severe break in the cotton market today. October contracts sold off to 32.S0c, making a decline of 222 points from last nights closing figures and of 445 points from Tuesdays high levels. The general list closed barely steady at net de- cline of no to l32 points.
 Stop orders were uncovered and be- fore the end of the morning active months showed net losses of 22O to 235 points. The volume of selling then subsided and prices worked high CT on covering and buying, which seemed to come partly from Japanese sources. The bulges met further liquidation, but hedge selling was not much in evidence after the early break
 Reports of further rains in the Southwest encouraged rather a more optimistic view of crop prospects, but the main factor was the unsettling in- Auence of the proposed investigation by the War Industries Board, which came at a time when the technical po- sition of the market had been weak ened by prolonged advance.
 Spot cotton quiet; mddling 35.55c.

HOW DRUNKENNESS DECREASED
When the Saloons Of Youngstown
We're Closed on Heatless
MONDAYS.

Youngstown, Ohio-The Telegram
has made study Of the police records
of this city covering the four heatless
Mondays when saloons were closed.
For the purpose of comparison, the
Telegram has divided each Of the four
periods into two periods Of 48 hours
each. The first period extends from
Friday noon to Sunday noon of each
week when the saloons were open,
and the second period extends from
Sunday noon to Tuesday noon, when
the saloons were closed. The records
at the police station show that in the
four open saloon periods. the total
arrests was 449, an average of Sc for
each "a hours. In the four closed
saloon periods, the total of arrests
was 72, an average Of 9 each "a hours.
The total Of arrests for drunken
ness or offenses due to liquor in the
four open saloon periods was 276, an
average of 35 each "a hours. The
total of arrests for the four saloonless
periods was 25, an average Of three
each "a hours.
This should answer definitely the
charge that Prohibition does not pro-
hibit.

SERVICE MEDALS
FOR GUARDSMEN
Boys Who Served on Border to
Receive EmbIemS.

Columbus, March 19.-The state
will give service medals to Ohio Ia
tional guardsmen who served at the
Mexican border. Adjutant General
Wood made the announcement, fol.
lowing his return from Camp Sheri-
dan, Ala.
The general assembly a year ago
authorized the expenditure Of $4,000
for this purpose. General Wood de-
ferred action until it could be learned
whether the federal government
would issue service medals to the
soldiers. According to Wood, the war
departments general order on the
subject is worded so that nearly all
guardsmen, not those of Ohio alone,
are excluded as beneficiaries. Eight
thousand Ohio gUardsmen saw sei-
vice a. the border.
The design of The badge has not
been determined. but 1t likely will be
a bronze medallion, probably with a
ribbon Of the Mexican national
colors.
Wood asserted he found Sheridan
to be the most splendid military camp
he ever saw. He cited attention t0
the fact that throughout last winter,
with the exception Of two weeks.
Camp Sheridan had the best health
record Of any camk in the country.

Increase Of Guaranteed Price, HI
Claims, Would Mean Higher 6reac
Prices For Consumers Already SUI

Washington, March 20.-oppositioi
to the proposal to make $3.50 bush
ell the government price guarantee for
1918 wheat opened in the senate
after nearly three days Of debate by
senators from western agricultural
states in favor of the increase.
Senator Pomerene OF Ohio, Demo
crat, spoke at length against any in
crease. Declaring that the price OF
1920 prescribed by President VII,
sons recent proclamation was "am
ple," he SAID proposals in congress
for increases had caused wheat hoard
ing and suffering by the allies, and
that the situation came mostly from
states where the last crop was below
normal. An increase, he added,
would mean higher bread prices for
consumers, already suffering from
from the high cost Of living.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, author
of the proposed amendment, inter.
rupted to point out that under Il e
administration railroad control bill,
the railroads may go into court to
have just compensation fixed for their
properties taken over by the govern
ment. and to ask if farmers should
have similar privileges.
When Senator Pomerene replied
that the government had comman.
deered the railroads. Senators Gore
and Reed insisted that by price-ixins,
wheat also virtually has been com
mandeered. Senator Reed also re-
ferred to Food Administrator Hoov-
er's ability to control wheat, drawing
from Senator Ponerene a sharp re-
tort that Mr.. Reed was again harp
ing" upon MIR. Hoover. If it had not
been for wheat control, Senator POM
creme said, -four would be $25 bar
rel.
Senator Reed declared millions of
bushels Of wheat had been held pack
from the market by lack of transpcr-
tation and Senator Wadsworth of
New York said th food administra-
ton has ordered curtailment of mill
ers' purchases and closed mills all
over the country, preventing farmers
from selling.
Senator Norris of Nebraska took
occasion to express the hope that the
present war would bring general dis
armament and the establishment Of
lasting peace. Notwithstanding We
went into the war for the technical
reason to protect citizens ON the high
SEAS" he said, ''if it results in dis
armament and the end of militarism
and lasting peace, all the sacrifices
which have been made will not have
been made in vain"
Senator Gronna Of North Dakota
declared that if the farmers were al
lowed profit Of 9 per cent on their
total investment, such as the foA!d
administration allows the packers,
they would not ask for an increased
price Of wheat.
