the War.
By Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. H.-When the
soldier OF 1865 laid down his arms to
take up civil occupation. he turned
westward in a matchless public do
main which he helped to develop into
the worlds richest farms and cities.
The government was Nable to point
the way to a method by which the re-
turned soldier was able to turn his
talents for livelihood, and the gov
ernment now is laying the ground
work TO have similar land available
when the great war ends and the mil
lions of American soldiers return to
civil life.
While the vast domain that awaited
the civil war veteran cannot be dupli-

To the Voters of Nebraska Interested
in the Welfare of the Public
Schools of the State:

The last regular session Of the
Legislature very wisely took the Of
flee Of State Superintendent of
Public Instruction out Of politics
by putting this office upon the
Non-partisan ballot. So the vari-
GUS candidates for the first time
must stand solely upon their in
dividual merit and fitness for this
important office.
For all around fitness by educa-
ton and experience, the candidacy
of Superintendent Charles M.
Sutherland, now superintendent Of
the city schools of Creighton will
appeal to the discriminating voter
at the August Primaries.
Superintendent Sutherland was
born in Ohio in 1875; came to
Schuyler, Nebraska, in 1884. He
was educated in the public school
at Schuyler and at the University
Of Nebraska. He has been engaged
in public school work for the
past twenty-four years. He taught
two years in the rural schools Of
Colfax county; three years as
Principal of the East Ward school
at Schuyler; seven years as Prin-
cipal of the village schools of How
ellis, Nebraska; eight years as Su-
perintendent of the city schools at
Genoa, Nance county, Nebraska;
and he is now serving his fourth
year as Superintendent of the city
schools of Creighton. His tenure
of office at these places proves
that he has made good He has
never asked any Board of Educa-
tion to elect him more than year
at time. The schools have al
ways been up to the required stand
ard under his charge. y He has
proven his ability as an organizer,
an executive, and as an instructor.
Mr.. Sutherland has a family ac-
cording to the ideas of Col. Roose-
welt, consisting of eight children,
five girls and three bows.
Mr.. Sutherland is a Spanish
American War Veteran, serving in
Co. X of the Second Regiment Ne
braska Vol Infantry.
Mr.. Sutherland's candidacy is
remarkably free from "any en-
tangling alliance" He is interested
in no private school, but is free to
give his undivided attention to the
duties of the office. The field of
Omaha daily bee., 1918-08-18

labor and the problems to be solved
are large enough to require all of
aman's time and energy, to which
the State, without a doubt is en-
titled. The war conditions have
brought on emefgencies in the
educational interests of the State
of Nebraska which will require
the best that is in any MANN
fact, his undivided attention.
Again, Mr.. Sutherland is inter
ested in no Teachers Agency di-
rectly or indirectly. In fact, he
considers the Commercial Teach
ers' Agency an imposition upon
the underpaid teachers of the
state, who are compelled to pay
from 4 to 6 per cent of their years
salary to an Agency to get them
job with an already too small a
wage. Some agencies have been
so prosperous during the past two
years that their managers have
Dragged about paying an income
tax. It is high time that the
schools, Normals and Universities,
together with the State Depart
ment, get the teachers in touch
with these vacancies without charg-
ing them cent of their now too
meager compensation. Any State
Superintendent interested in any
Teachers Agency would have the
teachers of the state like the old
darkey's coon trap, where he
caught them coming and going.
Mr.. Sutherland refuses to make
any promise or promulgate any
fancied program, but he does as
sure the people of Nebraska, he
will put forth his best efforts to
serve the educational interests of
the state to the fullest extent of
his time, his energy and his abili-
ty. The people of the state inter-
ested in the betterment of the
schools Of the state will make no
mistake in supporting Superintend-
ent Charles NJ. Sutherland for the
office of State Superintendent of
Public Instruction.
Fred. Young. a member of the
Council of Defense and of the /
Genoa Board of Education and
Editor of the Genoa Leader, writes |
in this manner in the current issue
of his paper:
"Prof. C. M. Sutherland, for
eight years superintendent of our
public schools, has filed for the
nomination for State Superintend-
ent Of Schools. We do not know
anything about his opponents but
we do know that Sutherland would
make a mighty good man for the
office. Absolutely competent and
an energetic worker"

Only the wide print cloth looms will be

Wool Prices May Drop.
Special Despdtch to The Sun.

BOSTON, July 10.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow :
Manufacturers are hoping to see lower
quotations for wool and there Is some
basis for expecting these lower prices.
Wool has undoubtedly been accumulat-
ing and II there is to be some trade de-
velopments which will prevent other
countries than the Allies from obtaining
a reasonable supply when the war ter
inmates the pressure Of raw material
stocks might easily reduce quotations.
The radical decline in the price of cot
ton when the official announcement of
the cotton crop prospect was made was
to have been expected, but while many
considered the decline would continue.
though gradually the price nevertheless
advanced subsequently more nearly
enough to counterfeit the previous de-
cline.

Of the reiterated statement that there
Is too much cotton in the American
make. Such a statement. 1t Is said,
does an injustice. for there was only
one period when the use Of cotton in

the amount was relatively small. As
far as the use OF all wool fabrics Is
concerned II has been stated by COM
