Anyway, Miss Willard took her
grievance to the Prohibition party.
The Prohibition party offered the
nomination for president to st. John,
with William Daniel Of Maryland for
vice president. st. John accepted the
nomination. He was an effective
speaker and campaigner and he went
out after blood-and especially Re-
publican blood. He carried the war

that campaign between James G..
Blaine and Grover Cleveland.
st. John jumped the Prohibition vote
from 1896 votes to 15O,626 votes.
What is more, he polled enough votes
in New York to defeat the "Plumed
Knight" in that state and, as it
turned out, in the nation. The feel
ing of the time is indicated by the
fact that st. John was burned in
efigy In more than 100 cities.

plars, an order of total abstainers Or
ganized in 1851 at Utica. N. Y, were
also working to this end.
The call for. the Chicago convention
originated May 20, 1869, in the grand
lodge of the Good Templars ut OSwe-
go, N. Y, which appointed committee
to convene a national gathering to
organize a political party favorable to
prohibition legislation. This commit
tee consisted Of John Russell, Detroit,
Mich; Daniel wilkins, Bloomington,
Ill. J. A. Spencer, Cleveland, O.; John
N. Stearns, New York, and James
Black, Lancaster Pa. At this conven-
ton the party was organized, a plat
form was adopted and a national COM
mittee was appointed, with John Rus
sell chairman.
The first national nominating con-
vention assembled in Columbus, O., on
Washingtons birthday, 1872. 1t
named James Black for president and
John Russell for vice president. Black
was one of the founders Of the Ma
tional Temperance Society and Pub
LEGATION house, an organizer of the IA
nous Ocean Grove IN. j. Camp
Meeting association and q prominent
Good Templar. Upon his death in
1893 he left his Temperance library"
of 1900 volumes to the National Tenn
perance society. Russell, the Father
of the Prohibition party" was Meth
odist minister and a leading Good
Templar. His newspaper, the PENN
sular Herald, was the first to advocate
the formation Of separate political
party for prohibition.
Notwithstanding the worthiness of
the cause and the candidates, the pub
lie support at the election Of 1872 was
not enthusiastic. The total of the
votes received by Black and Russell
was but 5,6O7.
In 1876 Green Clay Smith of Ken
lucky and Gideon e. Stewart Of Ohio
were the candidates. They polled
9.737 votes. In 1880 Neal Dow of
Maine, with 81. A. Thompson Of Ohio
as running mate, appealed to the
country General Dow was widely
known as the author Of the Maine pro-
ting only 1896 votes.
Candidates and Their Vote.
The Prohibition convention of 1896
split the party over woman suffrage
and money. The "free silver" minor
ity formed a Liberal party, with Bent
lev of Nebraska and Southgate of
Illinois as it's standard-bearers. They
polled about 1900 votes.
The feature of the Prohibition cam
paign of 1900 was tour Of the coun-
try by the candidates and a, corps of
speakers by special train. In 1912
the Prohibition convention renom-
mated the candidates of 1908. The
candidates since 1884 and their vote
are as follows: 1..-~.-.. AT
1888, Clinton B. Fisk, New Jersey,
and J. A. Brooks, Missouri, 249,945
votes.

Let Playmates Tell
Child Of His Errors,
Says Primary Teacher

"Give little children all the liberty
possible Miss Patty Hill of Co.
lumbia university told teachers in
the kindergarten and primary sec
ton yesterday morning at the Audi
forum.
Little children should be tried by
little juries of their peers for small
offenses or large ones. You will be
amazed when you see the look on
child's face after his own playmates
and equals have decided that he is
in the wrong and tell him so. He
believe. it, whereas if his teacher
tells him his attitude is quite differ
ent and he is apt to think he is per-
secuted.
"Children want to be allowed to
do things and they should be allow
ed to do them in their own way.
They will find out by trying again
and again. Don't volunteer to tell
them when they are wrong. Get
them into the habit of asking you
when they believe they are wrong.
There were several numbers OF
music on the program and Miss
Hill also conducted round table"

Value of Cleanliness

following answers given by eighth
grade children:
"A common disinfectant is small
pox.
"The diaphragm is another name
for backbone.
Respiration means all of the
different juices of the body.
"The process of indigestion
causes headaches and much impure
blood.
Digestion begins in the mouth
and keeps on going"
Referring more directly to the
Modern Health Crusade movement,
she said:
Clean Inside and Out.
Teachers, physicians and nurses
assert that they have been teaching
the principles of the Modern Health
Crusade without knowing that they
had been embodied in the propa-
ganda, so-named. We, who are an
nouncing the rebirth of common
sense in hygiene and physiology in
struction, say Amen!
ITO qualify as health crusader,
one must keep the body clean, in
side and outside and the back of the
neck in addition"
Mrs. Edholm stated that 100000
school children of Nebraska are
practicing the rules of this new
movement, which she explained is
not really new, but merely a new
way of applying old principles Of
health.
"a cake of soap and tooth brush
are the implements of war in the
hands of these modern crusaders"
she added.

An interesting feature in connec-

ers' convention, held yesterday aft

These children did their work un-
der the direction of Maxine Biebe-
sheimer and ,Maybelle Holland Of

we're sold to the visiting teachers

buy tooth brushes and paste for
Beatrice children who are unable to

An exhibit was also shown by the
Nebraska tuberculosis association.
w. G. Brooks, superintendent OF
the Nebraska City schools, presided
over the meeting; Mae Schumacher
of Beatrice was secretary. Marie

the Importance of physical fitness as
prerequisite to mental efficiency.

sible without good health"

The room bureau conducted at the
Rome hotel by Miss Doris Goethe
of the Chamber of Commerce, who
is convention secretary" has done
an erroneous amount of work. Hall
a dozen clerks are in charge OF II
and hundreds of teachers have been
sent to homes and rooming houses
throughout the city. The capacity
of the hotels was reached Wednes-
day.
The Mystery Pair"
Two young school teachers are
known as the mystery pair" They
seem to have no friends among the
other teachers, but they are a stun
ming pair. One is very dark and
wears blue tailored suit and bril-
liant scarlet hat made of feathers.
The other is tall and blond and
wears a picture hat and heavy fur
coat Of the latest model one OF
those short ones that are very wide.
1t is of grey fur.
Boy Scouts Busy.
The Boy Scouts, are doing great
service for the convention. They
meet teachers at the trains, carry
their baggage, direct them to con-
vention headquarters, distribute pro-
grams in the meeting places, run er-
rands and make themselves very
useful in many ways.
Didn't Know County.
One teacher who was met at the
registration desk with the usual
question, from what county" didn't
know. She came fr"sl Superior.
Il declare | don't .esnember wha;
county it is in,' she exclaimed.
The young clerk didn't know.
you'll have to go to the foot OF
the class" said fellow-teacher in
the registration line.
And then a man, a mere travelling
man, perhaps, and not high brow,
spoke up and SEE, sezzee, Superior?
That's in Nuckolls county"
And the line moved on. And that
teacher was mighty glad her "chil-
dren" hadn't witnessed her regis
tration.
Miss Goethe In Magazine.
Many teachers are greeting Miss
Doris Goethe, with the exclamation,
"Oh, ! saw your picture in the mag
azine!
Miss Goethe was written up" in
the last number of the American
Magazine as "the only convention
secretary i'll the United States" She
is that. And she is making won
derful success of her work at the
present state teachers convention.
"Cut the Show, Kid"
you're not supposed to go chas
ing out to show tonight, kid" said
very young school teacher to her
fellow school teacher in the hotel
lobby Wednesday night. you're
supposed to go to the Auditorium
and listen to the speeches and i'm
prove your mind
81 know ] am but ! would like to
see a good show" said the other.
But they were seen later at the
Auditorium, SO it is known they
didn't fall by the wayside.
Shortage of Teachers.
"The shortage of teachers is
startling. | have 200 calls on my
desk now for which l am unable to
nominate teachers" said G. E. Mar
tin, president of the Kearney state
normal school. "The government is
our greatest competitor" he con-
