Is 1t possible that citizens Of the

Can 1t be that citizens Of Illinois
are resolved to impress upon negro
citizens of Mississippi that they would
better deafen their ears to fairy tales
about the northern promised land?"
Or is it conceivable that these ben

The State reminds the southern

are constantly assured that they will

The decisive defeat in the senate OF
the so-called Fall amendments un-
doubtedly throws more light than
anything else that has yet happened
on the real status of the treaty fight.
There is no need to split hairs in an
alyzing the vote; nor is it necessary
to attach great weight to the an
nouncements of various Republican
senators who, while voting against
the amendments, said that they fav-
ored reservations Of one sort or an
other to the treaty. The fact OF i'm.
portance and significance is that the

about its defeat.
While, of course. this is by no
means a sure sign of what the align
ment will be in the final and decisive
fight. il does show that. despite the
aggressive language OF their leaders
considerable number of Republicans
are deeply impressed by what the

There is vast difference between

Teachers and Radicalism.
(Charlotte Observer

Herbert Hoover has advanced a
new argument for higher salaries for
teachers, an argument that is worthy
of serious consideration. In an "a
dress in San Francisco the former led.
eral food administrator voiced
warning that unless better pay is
forthcoming for teachers in Ameri-
can colleges the nation will be face
to face with a dangerous radicalism
from the centers of higher education.
Declaring that the European wind
OF radicalism is sweeping our way and
already affecting us. Mr.. Hoover said
that out of the war and misery OF the
war has arisen silhouette OF class
distinction and class hatred that is
not to be obliterated with a few words.
The development of radicalism In Eu-
rope during the last II months is be-
yond anything in history. America
is fertile field and responds quickly
to any wind that may blow"
While Mr.. Hoover spoke directly OF
'he IedCntIS III the INSTITUTIONS OF
higher education, what he says would
seem to apply with equal If not great
er force to the great mass of teachers
in the common schools Mr. Hoover
has advanced an idea that has not
heretofore been prevalent, but 1t is
one to provoke serious thought. The
suggestion that there is a psychology

one receives for his services and his
attitude toward the prevailing social
order is not absurd And teachers

Pastor Saves Money to See
Worlds Battles; Changes
His Mind

Marietta, O., Oct. 10. - Ever since
he played with the Cincinnati Reds,
when the team won its first cham
pionship in 1869, the Rev. F. M.
Woesman, pastor of st. Mary's Cath
olic Church, here vowed he would
never witness a worlds series contest
until the Reds were contenders for
the championship of the world. He
played with the old champions fifty
years ago, as utility fielder, during
his college days at Cincinnati,
When Cincinnati won the National
League pennant, Rev. Woesman set
aside $50 and eagerly anticipated
seeing as many of the worlds series
games as possible - but he has not
witnessed single contest
Changes His Mind
Just when he was ready to leave
for the opening game he decided
that the church needed the $50 more
than he needed to see the ball games
and he converted the amount to the
church cemetery fund.
Members of the church, who dis
covered Father Woesman's act
started to raise a fund by popular
subscription, but the priest would
not consent. I'm just as well OFF
and my conscience feels better" he
said. II thought I wanted to see
the games for the sake of olden
days when I was a baseball player
but 1t pricked my conscience to use
the money so emptily when the
church needed 1t to help pay for the
cemetery work now being done. All
I can do now Is to hope and pray
the Reds will win"
