LINCOLN PAPER
RAPS WILSON'S
OVERSEAS TRIP
Nebraska Capital City Reused
Over Comment On Expendi.
lures Of y. S. Presidential
Party.

Lincoln, Nov. 22-(Special.)-
The appearance short time ago Of
ain article in a local democratic
weekly paper published in Lincoln,
The Herald, and reproduced by .
Washington paper containing an ac-
count of the expenditures OF Presi-
dent Wilson while in Paris at the
peace conference is causing a great
deal of comment in the capital city
of Nebraska. The article says in
. part:
/ when President Wilson went to
I Europe he went on the George
4 Washington steamship, in all the
) glory of an oriental potentate. He
took the chef and expert walters of
Sthe Baltimore hotel along to pre-
pare and serve the meals. He also
took along the great Baltimore or
chestra to play during the meals.
Another band was provided to play
while the world safe for democracy"
folks were promenading the decks.
The decks of the great steamer
were glassed in to make grand
sun-parlor. Paid "flunkeys" and
subsidized college professors kow-
towcd at every door and stairway.
Another steamship had been sent
ahead with flock of automobiles 50
that the grand retinue could go up
from the harbor in regal state.
Over there it was one grand
fiesta for awhile. All the kings
within reach were visited. The MIL
lions of dollars worth Of jewels of
Starving, Europe were displayed in
the dining halls of the royalty. The
parade of the countries was enough
to turn the head of any man already
added with the intoxicaticn Of
power.
Thirteen hundred book sharps
and ex-sports and stock broker
touts and hunkeys were, on the pay
roll OF the United States at this
peace conference One hotel was
reserved for all their use, the Grill
lion. There was room for only 400
OF the choices of the retinue. Sew
enty gaudy limousines were kept
standing in front night and day for
the use of these citizens of democ-
racy. The contract with the hotel
was that they should be fed for So
a day each. They took part of their
meals at the fashionable cafes and
Uncle Sam paid the bills also.
"The liquor bill of the Hotel
Crillion turned up to the gurggling
sum of over 100000. Breagage Of
furniture by these peace advocates
was another big item. Where the
other 900 paid excursionists hung
out in Paris is not stated in the
100000 expense bill presented to
congress. From the price, they
must have divided their patron
age between the Hotel De Vile
and the Crystal Palace.
4 There are only few hundred OF
the original 1900 who charged the
trenches of Paris last winter, left to
guard the grill of the Hotel Crilion
and the barracks of the Latin
quarter. Some came back to re-
cuperate from the strenuosities of
special train junkets across the
country. Some professors came
back to instruct their less fortunate
associates and let a few drops of
their Europeanized wisdom dribble
upon the ignorant masses here at
home. Only those with iron livers
and copper-lined skulls remain be-
hind to direct the final charge of the
light brigade on the Hotel Crillon
wine cellars.

Almost half this sum, or $l0238,-

since January ! Of the present year,
while the remainder, or $l3,S73,688,
is the aggregate discussed prior to
that date. The great increase in ex-
penditures for the current year is
due to the fact that in this period
the cessation OF hostilities and the
opening up Of long-closed channels

All appropriations have been
made from money contributed to

 May "A. 1919,J CHAS. TERRELL 1 STILL INCREASES. Gauge Tests Show That We'll Is Still Increas-

The Magnolia Chas. Terrell No. is gradually increasing in it's daily flow. The gauge test Tues day was 7450 barrels, with oil running over every available pipe and tank. The overflow oil has filled every nook and ditch around the well. There are at least 1000 barrels each day in the overflow. It is impossible to tell exactly how much really overflows, but we think that our report is very conservative, and all we ask to verify our statement is to come out and see for yourself. With the increase continued this well would soon be the biggest well in North America. It is already the biggest well that has ever been brought in and held up it's initial production with gradual increase.

Challenger Has Fast Bout With Three Sparring
 Partners

Toledo, Ohio, June 2.-Boxing as though in a real battle, Jack Dempsey. challenger for the worlds heavy weight championship, today went 12 three-n1inute rounds, the exact dls- tance he will travel in his champior- ship contest with Jess Willard here July 4, and after the strenuous work out put his ring togs away until next Saturday.
 Jack Kearns, manager of the chal- lenger and Jimmy Deforest, the vet eran trainer, decided to lay Dempsey off for a week for fear of having him whatever. His trainers assert he is ready to step into the ring tomorrow and that a week of loafing will make him eager to resume his training grind.
 Dempsey boxed five rounds with Sergeant Bill Tate, four with the Ja- maica Kid and three with Terry Kel- lar. taking them on in rotation. He upset kellar and Jamaica with vicious punches to the jaw and set such furious pace for the giant Tate that he rushed across the ring to escape punishment. In addition to the boxmg Dempsey did seven miles on the road
 Willard wanted to work today, but the ring at his training quarters was not ready and the hot, sultry weather bothered him somewhat. He felt the need Of rest after his long ride from Los Angeles and decided to start road work tomorrow and boxing in the aft ernoon The champion has not located a place to live, but Ray o. Archer, ais business representative, said he would have Willard established in an apart ment away from the excitement down town before tomorrow night.
 The campion admitted tonight that he put one over" in regard to his age when he started boxing The rec ord books show his age as 33 Tom Jones, his manager for six years, TO- gently declared Willard was 40 years old. The title holder, however, con- fessed to 35 years.

For the second consecutive time the kids of Birmingham have been sorely disappointed Two consecutive Mondays have they been promised free ball game. And what did they get? Only a car ride and plentiful supply of water, donated to them from the skies above. This is what we call blessing.
 Two times have the fans been prom sed double header What did they get? Two times have they been allowed the privilege of watchful waiting, shell tering a seat from the cold, cold rain. This is also a blessing
 Again are the fans given the oppor- tunity of seeing a double header, or rather of missing one. We are learning caution nowadays. We promise nothing. Let's give the weather man another trial. Let's firmly believe, and sincerely hope this time we will not be disappointed. Oh. Mir Weather Guy, if you intend to spoil our game, please don't wait until the umpire shouts play ball, but do your fendish work before our hopes dare rise Today is ladies day at Redwood Al though we promise nothing. we can still hope for the best.

For the Good of
 the Community

A NYONE who does not understand 1 why Alabama is backward in educa- {. tional matters should read the report made by County Superintendent of Education N R. Baker to the special legislative com- mittee last Saturday.
 The explanation is found there, And what is true of Jefferson county is true even to greater degree, in practically every other county in the state.
 The state of Alabama, rated as poor state, and holding almost last place among the sisterhood of states in matters educa- tional cannot go on indefinitely in the way she has been going since the Civil war.
 During the scholastic year ending Octo- Der l, the pay of teachers in the common schools of Jefferson county is ridiculously low, compared with the salaries and wages paid to men and women of whom much less is expected.
 The teachers in the public schools have in their care the education, the training, the moulding of the characters of the boys and girls of Jefferson county. The stand ard of qualification for teaching in the public schools should be high; the teachers should be of the best moral character, trained and well equipped for the highly important duties they are called upon to perform.
 Here are the magnificent CD salaries the teachers in Jefferson county (outside of Birmingham and Bessemer) schools re- ceive for nine months in the year. They receive no salaries during three months of the year.

Schedule of Salaries of Negro Teachers

Stenographers and bookkeepers just coming out of business college are paid better salaries in most cases, better even than the highest paid teacher, and seldom less than the lowest paid teacher.
 Janitors who sweep out the buildings and build fires in the furnaces get more pay; street clean CTS, common laborers of the most ignorant type, are better paid
 An illiterate person may be janitor, furnace man, street cleaner, common laborer, but to teach school requires several years of hard study and careful preparation. In few professions is a i, higher degree of learning required than in that of teaching school that is, where interest for the boys and girls is safeguarded.
 What can a man or woman hope for the fu- ture after spending from 10 to 15 years studying and fitting themselves for profession and at the end of that long period can look forward to com pensation not to exceed $85 month, and that coming only at the end of seven years of teach ing? Is it not discouraging? Is it not likely to frighten the qualified teacher into some other vo- cation?
 The state may be poor; the county of Jefferson may not be able to raise revenues sufficient to build new courthouses jails and other much need- ed things, but if any one thing is to be sacrificed, it should not be the children the boys and girls who will be running things here in few years

Resolution of European Commits
sion of National Lutheran
Council: Adopted at its
meeting December 10th.

Now that the work of the
European Commission of the Ma
tional Lutheran Council is draw
ing to a colse it is proper that
we should first of all gratefully
acknowledge the favor of AL
mighty God in holding His pro-
tective hands over the members
of our Commission during our
travels over land and sea, and in
blessing our labors so that we
were enabled, at least III part,
to perform the tasks which were
entrusted to us. We look to Him
for further guidance and bles-
sing upon all efforts towards the
relief of suffering and of recon
struction of Church life among
our brethren of the faith in the
war-swept countries of Europe.
We also take this opportunity
of expressing our appreciation OF
the confidence placed in us by
the National Lutheran Council
and its Executive Committee. To
their wholehearted support is
largely due whatever measure
of success we have attained in
our mission.
The splendid response of our
churches to the appeals for aid,
especially for clothing for use
of our Lutheran brethren in va
rious lands, has been truly re-
freshing in u strenuous work.
We felt that behind us stood an
army Of Gods faithful people
with uplifted hearts and open
hands. This condition was not
only a great comfort, but a pow
erful impetus for us to do our
best in the great work entrusted
to u.s."
The meeting adjourned.
