Or, as we Americans might now
fitly and with no little dread in our

Does human psychology constitute
an insuperable barrier? Can the

most vital questions which now con-

TEACHERS SALARIES

Unless all signs fail, there Will
be a shortage of school teach
ers next fall. Wise school
boards will enter into contracts with
their teaching corps as soon as pos
sible, if they can.
Already resienations have become
so numerous as to seriously embar-
ras3 many school districts. The
reason is not hard to find. Salaries
Of teachers have not advanced IN
proportion to the cost of living, nor
have they kept up with the increases
of pay in other lines of work. The
whole question resolves itself INTO
whether or not the school boards or
the State will see the wisdom OF
granting the advances which must
be Forthcoming il the teachers are

other occupations.
There is no more loyal body OF
men and women in the land than

body that is so generally underpaid.

only human and they would be fool

own futures. They cannot be ex-
peeted 70 cling indefinitely to jobs

WHY WE FIGHT

VTTHY do we fight the Kaiser?
wv The question is not asked sc
often as it used to be, because
it has been answered so well. The
pacifists and the pro-Germans arc
now putting it another way-WhS
not make peace?
Well, here's one reason whv We
will not.
This is a quotation from a speech
Of the Kaiser to German recruits n,
Pots'am a few weeks ago:
Only one is master in the EN-
pire, and l am that one; L will
tolerate no other.
l represent monarchy by the
grace of God.
You must all have one will
and that is my will; there is only
one law, and that is my law.
III | order You to shoot down
your relatives, brothers-yes, even
your parents-you must obey me
without murmuring.
This is but an echo of the Kaiser,
address to his people September I3
1914, in which he said:
The spirit of God has de-
scended upon me because I am
German Emperor.
I am the instrument of the Most
High.
| am His sword. His instru-
ment on earth.
Woe and death to those who
oppose my will! Death to the
infidel who denies my mission!
Let all the enemies of the Ger
man nation perish!
God demands their destruction
God, who by my mouth sum-
mons you to carry out His de-
crees.
The Kaiser is the same to-day a,
he was in 1914.
We cannot make peace while ;
man of his views holds 1t in hi
power to renew the war whenever
he finds it to his advantage.

men that we will protect you and re-
spect your weakness. Throw aside
your puny weapon and trust to us. W
The nations said that to LuXem-
bourg in 1867. Her only fortress
was then dismantled and razed' to
the ground and her army was re-
duced and limited to one company
of gendarmes and one company OF
infantry. Thus she was made power
less to resist. She was made as de-
fenseless as Nydia, the blind girl OF
Pompeii. 1t was like some chapter
in tales of ancient chivalry. with
Luxembourg the tender helpless
maiden, surrounded by the brave
and true knights sworn to protect
her. Had the knights sworn by the
blood of Christ Gas knights did in
olden days. their oaths could not
have been more solemnly sacred. A
pledged word is a pledged word
and doubly sacred when given to the
I helpless. The giant nations kept
their oaths sacred. Except Ger
many. Except Germany!
Against Germany we have marked
the wrongs of Belgium-Liege bonn
! barded, Louvain burned, old men and
women and children murdered
slaughtered soldiers and ruined
towns, and in n million years Ger
many can not wipe out that stain of
neutral nation violated; but let
us not forget Luxembourg.

THE WHY OF IT
A CORRESPONDENT asks, "WhS

n CORRESPONDENT asks, "Why
n is the Telegraph for prohibi-
tion?" and adds this question:
'If you believe so thoroughly in the
American citizens ability to take
care of himself and run his govern
ment intelligently, why are you
afraid to trust him with a drink of
whiskey or a bottle of beer?"
The Telegraph had thought it had
made itself perfectly clear on this
subject, but at the risk of firing its
readers by repetition it will answer
again: In the first place, we arc
at war and We have no business
spending money for things we do
not need. Now, it happens that The
annual retail drink bill of the United
States before the war was two bill
lion four hundred million dollars.
and, if anything. it is more now. the
price of drinks having gone up. This
sum would have taken up the entire
First Liberty Loan and would have
left over the price of the Panama
Canal. Devoted to industry. there
is no telling what it would have
done. Spent on crop production, it
would have prevented shortage of
any kind.
But, in addition, had prohibition
been in force, the millions of BUSH
els of wheat, the millions of pounds
of sugar and the millions of tons of
molasses that have gone into booze
would have gone to the dining-room
tables of hundred million Ameri-
cans. And beyond that lies the vast
economic losses resulting from the
liquor traffic, and the suffering ii
produces and the expense it causes
in countless homes.
So, for very good and sufficient
reasons the Telegraph is for national
prohibition, both now and after the
war, for by diverting the vast sums
now wasted to the purchase of ne
cessities and refinements, for the eX.
pansion of business and the employ
ment of labor, the benefits resulting
would be of such vast extent that
they cannot be estimated
With regard to believing in the
ability of the average American to
take care of himself. that goes
without saying, for the majority of
Americans have kept themselves
clear of the curse of drink. It is
the young man whose habits are
in the formative period and the
weak adult who must be protected.
We have made it impossible for peo-
pie to buy habit-forming drugs
through drug stores or other agen-
ces, and the law was hailed as a
blessing. Why not follow it with
the elimination of alcohol, second
cousin to the narcotic drug?
The Telegraph. it is true, does
place full trust in the good sense
of Americans, and it is for that
reason it is confident they will not
hesitate when the question of rid
ding the nation of John Barleycorn
Is put up to them.
