no quarrel with the German peo-
pie. He went out of his way to
deny hostility to the Germans
and to lay their wickedness up
on the heads of their rulers.
The present German govern
ment is recalling these words of
President Wilson. eff as you said,
they say in substance, "a.l the
crimes of the war were commit
ted by our government and not
by our people, and if as you said
America has no quarrel with the
German people, why impose Sc
we're terms on us, when we have
of our own accord overthrown
that government and are trying
to set up democratic institutions,
and wish to live in peace with the
rest of the worldw
1t is indeed a clever reply, adj
vanced with the diabolical per-
ception which the keen German
mind frequently has for a weak
point.
None of the doughboys took
any stock in the idea that Ameri-
ca had no quarrel with the Ger
man people. They saw the Ger
mans too close. They know how
they massacred defenseless ilon-

You Might Not Be Missed

My friend, don't become too
pulled up. Take a quiet walk thru
the village cemetery any day. On
a neglected. lot you will likely
find a small tomb stone and on it
inscribed the name of the man
who in his days was the whole
works in town. Nobody moved
without consulting him. He ran
the lodge, the church and poll
tics of the hamlet. He was simply
"IT'' in big brass letters. But
time gathered him in and before
the grass grew green on his
grave he was forgotten by all ex
cept his immediate family. The
town ran on just the same and
there was no breakdown in the
machinery. So you want to re-
member that at best all of us are
small potatoes and few in a
hill. Don't get the idea into your
head that the town can't run
without you. Lots bigger men
than you have wandered after
flourishing for a day and nothing
serious happened. Things will
run all right after you are gone.
If you so live that your exist
ance will remain green spot for
just a brief spell after you are
gone you will have done we'll.
Mighty few do that.-Ex.

Mr.. Wilson'S course was at the
time considered politically skill
full. 1t may have fastened the
downfall of the German govern

in the German people. 1t has Civ
en- them the idea that the Ameri-

asserting friendship for them
and then double crossed them.
Mr.. Wilson no doubt meant well.
With his extreme democratic no.

they changed their political views
1t was an unsound idea, and it is
now augmenting the difficulties
of peace making.

School Teachers

A school teacher is a person
who teaches things to people
when she has gotten enough
children for mess in her room
she teaches them reading, writ
ing, geography, grammar, arith-
metic, music, drawing, cooking,
board sewing, crocheting, deep
breathing, bird calls, scientific
eating, patriotism, plain and
fancy bathing, forestry, civics,
and other sciences too numerous
to mention. When school is out
she stays behind with five or six
of her worst pupils and tries to
save the state the job of re-

forming them later. After that
she hurries home to make her
self new dress before going
back to attend a lecture by an inn
ported specialist on the history
of tribal law in patagonia, which
the superintendent thinks may
give her some information which
may be useful in her school room
work some day. A great many
lecturers roam the country, prey
ing on school teachers, and some
of them are very cruel, talking
to them so long that the poor
things have to sit up until morn
ing, when they get home, to get
their daily papers corrected.
School teachers salaries range
from $50 mont up-but not far
enough to make them dizzy. On
her salary the teacher must
dress nicely, buy herself things
for er work which the city is too
poor to get, go to % lectures and
concerts a year, buy helpful
books on pedagogy, pay her way
to district, county and state in
stitues, and enjoy herself during
a three months vacation which
her salary takes very year In ad
dition, the teacher is supposed
to hoard away vast sums Of
money, so that when she be-
comes too nervous to teach, at

can retire and live happily ever

Country is Declarde To Be For
Private Ownership

Public opinion is very strong
ly in favor of an early return of
the railroads to their owners, as
shown by the vote of nearly g.
900 editors of daily and weekly
newspapers throughout the coun
try. A QUESTIONABLE sent to
every editor in the country (13,-
424) brought replies from 1922
or a. per cent, and SO per cent of
the editors reported their COM
munities in favor of a resump-
ton of private management.
The QUESTIONABLE was con-
Quoted on behalf of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives, and
was completed beore President
Wilson announced in his recent
message to Congress that the
government would relinquish
control of the railways at the
end of the year.
Editors were asked not to give
their personal opinions but to
appraise the sentiment of their
communities. The four chief
questions were as follows:
Does public opinion in your
judgment seem to favor the re-
turn of railroads to private own
ership and operation as soon as
this can properly be accomplish
ed.
2 If so, is this opinion in
part based on the desire to see
competition in service and facili-
ties restored?.
3 What is the present senti-
ment in your community on gov
eminent ownership and opera
ton of railroads?
4 What has been the feeling
regarding the proposal to extend
the period of government opera
ton for five years?
The strongest sentiment
against government ownership
was found to be in New England
and the South, sections widely
apart in political sentiment
Only a per cent of New England
editors and Z per cent of South
ern editors reported their peop-
pie favoring government owner
ship.
On the question of the return
of theroads the New England
editors voted 81 per cent in fav.
or, 6 per cent no, with 3 per cent
doubtful and blank.
In the North Atlantic states
(New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland)
SO per cent estimated public
opinion as favoring the return Of
the roads, while z per cent tho
public sentiment opposed it with
Z per cent doubtful and blank.
In the Southern states Gala
bame, Florida, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Mississippi, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Tennessee
Virginia, West Virginia) 81,
editors (87 per cent? voted vest
z per cent no and 6 per cen

England Is delighted, and justly so, with her surprising success at wheat culture, the present homegrown crop of which released many thousand tons of shipping for use elsewhere. Incidentally, also, the home product saved England many millions that normally would have been sent beyond the ocean to Argentina and the United States for breadstuffs. It Is now pre- dlcted that never again will the island kingdom" allow her ancient agriculture to fall into evil ways as during the last half century. How well, indeed, the world has learned during the trials and restrictions of war that Mother Earth Is a cherishing mother Indeed, and that in hours of distress 1t is to her that man must turn for comfort and succOr.
