Order From Justice Gould.

The temporary restraining order
was obtained by Attorneys Wilton ].
Lambert and r. Fl. Yeatman from Jus
tice Gould at his home about o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The courts Or
der is based on suit for injunction
filed by City Policemen's Union, No.
1918; L. B. Draeger, it's president; c.
H. Warder, secretary. and c. G. Wise
as an individual member of the union.
The union is said to have a member
ship of 500 privates. The petition
sets forth that many of the union po-
licemen have been in the service for
many years and are entitled to retire
ment and pension rights, which are
claimed to be valuable rights threat
ened by the action of the Commits
sioners.
The court is advised that the char
ter to the union has the strike
clause omitted and that by affiIiation
with the labor body the men will not
be called on to do anything which
would interfere with the proper per-
formance by them of their duties as
guardians Of the peace or that would
impede in any manner the govern
ment. conduct and discipline of the
department.
Purpose of Union Stated.
The union was formed solely and
exclusively, the court Is informed, for
the purpose of cooperating in the
protection of the rights of the po-
licemen in procuring in a lawful and
proper manner legislation for the
regulation of their wages and the
hours and condition of labor. In ex-
ercising the privileges of member
ship. 1T is stated, the men do SO when
off duty and when not in the perform
ance of their services as policemen.
The petitioners attack the right of
the Commissioners to make the reeu-
lations complained of and assert that
they have exceeded their power and
claim that the order based on these
regulations is null and void.
Mr.. Syme Gives Views.
II have not yet seen the bill of COM
plant of the policemen's union, but I
am satisfied the Commissioners were
within their rights in forbiddng the po-
Ice from having an organization af-
filated with any other labor body"
This was the statement today of Cor
poration Counsel Conrad H. Syme who
will represent the District heads when

manent injunction is heard next Thurs

Painful Anti-Clinax.

Out in Ohio, which helped re-elect
Wilson in 1916, though every state
hereabouts voted the other way. one
might have expected a joyous well
come. But to any one who saw the
cheering throngs on the Champs
d'Elysees in Paris: or even the dem
onstrations of the undemonstrative
British, or the fanatical enthusiasm of
the emotional Italians. the reception
at Columbus was painful anti
climax
Here was the man who had come
back from overseas after representing
the United States in the most mo-
mentous conference ever held between
governments. But there was nothing
triumphant or heroic about the
Presidents journey down the streets
OF Columbus. He got more attention
in that very city seven years ago as
an unknown candidate.
To be fair one must note certain
things. The street cars were at a
standstill. a strike. said to have been
called chiefly to impress Mr. Wilson
with the restiveness of labor. had tied
up traffic. And besides. it was driz-
zling. This combination of circum-
stances made Mr.. Wilson's visit about
as welcome as a dinner guest when
the cook had left.

PRESIDENT LEAVES
CROWDS WARMER
THAN FINDS THEM
Mr.. Lawrence Says Initia!
Audiences Are Cool
'at First"
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Special Dispat tch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September ).
President Wilson comes as a
stranger from afar. His first audi
,ences are cool, awestruck and even
apathetic toward the gospel he
preaches--when he begins. But grad
ually the President touches the heart
strings of American patriotism and
emotion-and brings down the house.
Street crowds are unenthusiastic, a
hand-clapping group here and there.

conspicuous-and Mr.. Wilson proceeds

people with an austerity and dignity
that beget solemnity, not joy

Faith Seen in Applause.

If interruptions of applause mean
anything, then Mr.. Wilson's audience
at Columbus not only seemed to ac-
cept his doctrines, but to exhibit
faith in the man who was exhorting
them anew to follow his leadership.
Again and again the President
failed to explain why the people
should accept his view rather than
the view of the treaty opponents,
but insisted that the people ought to
read the treaty and see for them
selves, and if they did not read it.
then they should accept the inter
probation of the men who made the
treaty and knew what was intended.
It is the familiar appeal-asking the
people to have faith. Indeed. that
idea in his speech seemed to get
more applause than any other.
Through Mr.. Wilson's speech ran
sentimental note--a constant exalta-
ton of American ideals and princi-
pies and of the promise made to the
lads who died-the promise to make
this a war against war.

Cost of Living Worries.

Also, folks herea bouts, according to
local newspapermen, are worried
about the cost of living. They would
have liked to hear Mr.. Wilson de-
nounce the profiteers and tell them
how he expects prices to be reduced
And if. as the President has hitherto
claimed, the delay in ratifying the
treaty is affecting the prices of COM
modities in the United States. his
audiences would have preferred to
hear him on that phase of their do
mestic ills. The President told the
correspondents afterward that he ex-
pected to discuss this in future
speeches.
Mr.. Wilson'S first utterance Incl
dentally is not taken as the proverb-
ial keynote. He didn't cover all the
subjects with which he plans to deal
He will develop his ideas as he goes
along, suiting the speech to the oc-
casion as the spirit moves him.
All his speeches are extemporaneous.
That is a tremendous strain. For in
his effort at Columbus to make COM
prehensive survey of so vast sub
ject as the peace treaty the Presi-
dent touched only specifically on a
number of things. But. while he did
not go into details, he did express
himself in simple enough fashion to
convey his points convincingly.

Await Court Decision.

Commissioner Brownlow said it was
hardly likely that the Commissioners
would take any further action in the
matter until the questions at issue are
determined by the court. There really
is nothing they can do at this time,

ADVISORY BOARD URGED
TO SELECT BEST OF
TEACHE

The County Board OF Educa-
ton will meet first Saturday in
June to select teachers for the
various schools for another year.
The Advisory Boards should
meet sometime in May. and Sc
lect the best they can out of the
applications they have, regard
less of relatives or obligations.
There are many things to be
considered in selecting teachers.
A teacher that might teach well
in one community, might fail in
another, the environments being
different.
In selecting teachers | hope
you will earnestly consider that
every child needs the best teach
er,
In your selections, select those
who desire to do good, and have
a love for the work. One who
has no desire to do good. who
cares not whether he or she does
ANYTHING to benefit the world, is
not likely to be worth much in
any calling certainly he or she
is not fit to teach the young.
One will do any work better, if
he loves to do it. Of course
there are some kinds of coarse
physical labor, like digging
bitches, we suppose one might
do we'll even if he dislikes it.
This Is not true of the higher
kinds of work, and certainly it is
not true of teaching.
All work has its drudgery, and
teaching is no exception. But
one should have such genuine
love for the work as a whole,
that it will enable him to bear
the drudgery and do the work
faithfully.
Do not select those to teach
that care nothing for ideals, or
sentiment, and have money as
their only motive in teaching.
Yet there are good and honorable
reasons why a teacher may re-
gard the money as proper mo-
tive. A teacher has wants he
cannot supply unless he receives
money for his work. Justice re-
quires that he should receive pay
Tor his work.
If a stranger applies for a
school know something about
him or her before selecting them
to teach. Some are qualified to
teach that are not suitable to
teach are liking in everything
it takes to constitute a teacher.
| believe the County Board
will pay the very best prices they
can with the money they have
at their command. The law says
they must run the schools 3 days
longer each succeeding year til
we reach 12O school days. that is
if we get our prorata OF the
state fund to equalize the schools.
Respectfully,

and when he went to stretch, he
pushed the footboard down and
the whole bed collapsed and fell
on him. This chap had been
signing for the luxury of a bed
for a long time, but he says from
now on it is a hammick for him
every time. Another time a
shore, he wanted a glass of milk,
but didn't know how to ask them
and couldn't make them under
stand, so he reSOrted to panto-
mine. He initiated some one
milking a COW, then some one
churning, then, at the suggestion
of another sailor, he got down on
his all-fours, loped across the
deck and beloved like a COW.
He didn't get the milk. They
knew he had 'em" then, and
they called a provo and had him
removed.
One day, a dago stevedore out
on the dock had a balky mule Tor
jassack, rather; their donkeys
don't get much bigger than a

ness, are the limit. Our mules
are angelic compared with them
and the bunch were hanging a.
round giving advice. One Of
the boys, from Texas said, why
mitchell don't yer chaw his
years?" Then he went on to tell
the wop in the simplest English
he could use that the only way to
handle cantankerous animile"
like a mule was to "chaW his
d---n year" because the "chaw-
ing" took the critters mind off
of what he happened to be think
ing of at that particular moment,
which was, apparently, baking,
and inasmuch as a mules mind
works slowly (like the mills of
the gods he didn't say that, how
ever before he got through
thinking and figuring out what
was wrong with his year" he
would move on and be good un-
til he tool: another notion to
balk. I've seen cowboys chew a
bronc's ear to make him hold
still while saddling him. but it
was the first | ever heard it
would work on a mule. The
dago tried it, and the Texan tried
it, hut it did no good. They
couldn't make him bat his eye,
in fact, he slept through the
whole performance. except when
they hit him.

he is disabled at age twenty-five

The Government gives this fea-

of death and not disability.

he stands one chance in two of

A gang of sailors is just like a

come to the ship tonight, they
will have everything in the
