There is strong sentiment in con-
gress for one more good drunk before
the prohibition amendment to the
constitution goes into effect on Janu-
ary /, next. Representative Raincy
Democrat, of Illinois, on last Satur-
day, introduced a resolution looking
to "A declaration from congress to the
effect that derlobilization has been
completed. It is hoped that so soon as
this resolution is passed the saloons
will be opened. and the sale of liquor
will be free. The question as to wheth-
cr it will be necessary for the president
to sign such n resolution is now being
considered by the attorney general
Some seem TO think that the attorney
general is only considering the form OF
an opinion in which the food will bc
turned loose.

United States senator's, probabl,

United States senators, probably
would be unwilling to admit that in
d'abolical cunning and disregard of
consequences to their fellow men, their
attitude toward the ratification of the
peace treaty is very closely related to
the spirit and motives of that Arkan-
sas negro who undertook to deceive
his fellows into thinking that they had
some Gjsregarded rights that could
only be preserved by assassination,
and the like. The main difference in
the two cases is that the senator's have
so much more reason to be ashamed
CT themselves because Of their better
opportunities and higher intelligence.

House of Bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal church, in session at Detroit,

proposed to exclude the star Span

that the hymn is addressed to stand

The Justice of 1t.

NJ
notes with panied surprise an adver-
tisement in the Greenville News for
granite, cutters at eight dollars per
day. and in The same paper an ad-
yertfsement for a teacher for a high
school at sixty-five dollars a month
or about two dollars. per day. The
granite tcuttet Certainly. has the edge
on the teacher. Some day people will
wake ifp to, the Importance of paying
teachers more. Greenwood Index
"a -As to, whether, we fully understand
what is meant by the above we do not
know; but anyhow it suggests a few
remarks which seem worth while.
In the first place we want it under
stood that the public is not paying the
school teachers as much as good
school teachers should have, and we
ere inclined to think that until the
public does pay a fair price for good
teachers, it is, not going to get good
school teachers--not over many OF
them! - 49,
If it iaEhtehded to suggest in the
foregoing that school teachers should
necessarily have more pay than gran
ite cutters, we desire to register an
emphatic dissent. .#E
1t is natural weakness with most
Nof us perhaps, to arrogate the right
to fix the value of the other fellows
services, and generally we are in
inclined to rate the other fellows SER
vices at less than our own. But since
upon a little reflection, we are bound
to see that just az the services OF al
other folks are valued through the
application of, public judgment tc
social and economic conditions, oul
own services must be valued on 9
somewhat similar basis.
Granite cutters are getting eight
dollars day for the simple reason
that there is a demand for granite
cutters and they are not to be had any
cheaper. There is certainly no ques-
tion Of special favor to granite cutters
1t would. be quite foolish to say tha
all granite cutters have sufficient edu
cation to qualify them as scftoo
teachers, and 1t would be equal,
foolish to say that many of these
granite cutters are lacking in sufficient
education to teach school as well al
many. of these s65 a month teachers
There are very y-few $65 month teach,
ers, however, With the training ant
experience thak.wpuld qualify them a:
granite cuttersdworth IS per day.
There is perhaps a wider range o.
quality among Itbe teachers than there
Is among the granite cutters, and more
teachers who hre worth less than s6'
month than there are granite cutters
who are worthless than IS a day.
The question: sof the teachers pay |:
a matter bet%adh the teachers and thu
public, it being' d matter on the ont
hand of the teacher being worth the
money and on the other hand of the
public being brought to realize
proper appreciation Of the fact. n
We would like to see teachers re-
ceive from twice = to three times a!
much as they are now receiving; bu
we are not expecting anything of th'
kind until the standard has beer
raised from two to three times, wha
II now Go TNr. AZ ,.t--< -,--sit !,
Even now. however, there are teach,
ers who ought to be receiving sS o
more day.

In an important decision just rem
dered by Attorney General Palmer of
the United States and made public to
CONGRESSMAN .,Byrnes Of South Caro-
lima, it will he possible for the war de-
partnent to begin the distribution Of
motor trucks to state highway COM
missions over the country within the
next ten days. Two weeks ago the
department decided that it had no au-
thority to distribute these trucks and
called off plans made for such distri-
button which greatly disrupted road
work in a number of states, especially
in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
and a number of congressman began
an active campaign to have a decis-
ion rendered which would give the
war department the authority it wish
ed. This has now been done and the
announcement, made today by MIR.
Byrnes means that almost Immediately
the actual distribution Of these trucks
in accordance with plans heretofore
mapped out will begin. This is one of
the most important steps that could
be taken at this time in the sections
interested in the building of better
roads and the announcement will re
interesting for that reason.

PERSHING UNNAMED

Matter Of Precedent Also Es'
tablished, Putting Him
Above Rival.

Washington, July 19.-President Will
sons recommendation that the highest
titles of service be bestowed perma-
nently on Generals Pershing and March,
Admirals Sims and Benson, was follow
ed. today, by introduction of bills for
that purpose with chairmen of the house
military and naval committees.
Chairman Kahn, of the military COM
mittee, did not name General Pershing
or General March in the bill he present
ed. but so identified them by their rec
ords as to make them the only ones eli
gible to permanent ranks as generals.
He believes that technically the president
should make the appointments with SEN
ate confirmation.
The Pershing bill would repeal "any
provision that would enable any other
officer of the army to take rank or prec
edent' over him.
Chairman Butler, of the naval com
mittee. named Admirals Benson and Sims
in his bill. which would direct that they
"shall not be placed upon retired list,
except upon their own application"
Secretary Daniels will appear before
the naval committee Tuesday in favor Of
the Butler bill.
