ESCORT,

We came up with morning, through the portals in the south, With the North Atlantic speaking in our funnel-stay: Felt the touch of England like a kiss upon the mouth When the lean destroyers came a-driving through the spray, The little lean destroyers, His Majesty's destroyers, Three days cut to meet US, when the dawn was breaking gray. Fifty days from Wellington, twining like snake Woollens for the soldier-men and copper for the shell! Bully" ouoth the long destroyer loafing in our wake; "London has the heart of hearts, and she will greet you well,' Trolled the gray destroyers, His Majestys destroyers, Prinking up to vindward there or roaring down the swell. Cross the bows and back again. lurching through the sea: Gowned in gray-green gossamer that pillows from their hips Half dozen way to port, seven more a-lee.
 "seaway on the English seas for the English ships.
 Sang the slim destroyers, His Majesty's destroyers, Roiting up the channel with the foam upon their lips. wonder are the Dover cliffs, show white as chalk; Far enough is far enough-glve you time O day! Carry on and straight ahead, Ike a lovers walk: Best regards to London town when you're up that way,
 Said the pert destroNers, His Majesty's destroyers, Turning on their silver heels ana dancing to the bay.

SALARIES FOR TEACHERS.

New York State has attacked the bratn-poWer problem from the right angle. Instead of sitting around won derlng what was to become ot the schools because of the shortage ol teachers it has increased thelr sal"i ie' and as consequence 53,Ooo hstruc- tors will receive remuneration hiole in keeping with their importance 10 society. New York City alone Will spend s15,oOO,OoO in the next three years in recognition of teachers serV- ices.
 Governor Smith signed the bill Monday, saving:
 It should result in filling the
 many vacancies in our schools
 which were caused by higher
 compensation paid in other fields
 of employment.
 It has been certified to me by
 the State Department of Educa- tion that the training schools for teachers are not attended in
 satisfactory manner, due to the
 fact that salaries paid to school teachers failed to attract women
 10 that important service. This presents a serious situation and
 one that the state itself must deal
 with It is narroW-mlndeu
 statesman who thinks only of the
 day he lives in.
 If our common school system
 is to be maintained in the degree
 of efficiency that the greatness ot
 the state suggests we must build
 for the future. By this bill we
 are attracting to the school serV-
 ice the best talent the state can
 secure.
 Governor Smith shows that he is fully alive to the greatest menace education faces today-the small sal aries paid to school teachers. It is true that fewer girls are enrolling in training schools for teachers. Marcus White, Principal of the New Britain Normal school, told the Committee on Education of the Connecticut General Assembly on March 13 that in the past three years forty-seven towns had furnished no trained teachers and that thirty-two other towns had pro- duced only forty-nine.
 The education problem is no differ ent than any other business problem. The same principles apply to both. If an employer of labor wants skilled help he knows he must pay commen- surate wages. nf the state wants skilled teachers it must pay commen- surate salaries. As the General As sembly, through an oversight or neg lect, failed to provide for increasing teachers salaries, cities and towns will find the burden resting directly 1 on their shoulders. If they continue l to ignore it, there may be an exodus 1 to New York which, in the words of 1 Governor Smith, is attracting to the 1 school service the best talent the state l can secure.'

Profteering IN Paper

| Paper seems to have been cornered and

said they are sky high In view of this

Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General of the
| United States:
public Voice to be raised in the wilderness
that is now America, That voice has
| always been heard upon the side of high
patriotism, good citizenship, and public
and private morals.
| 1t remains today the most potent weap-
on the public wields against the forces of
evil, and the most powerful molder of
public opinion.
The country newspaper represents the
heart of America. Not from the cosmo-
the green fields, blue skies and clean liv-
ing of the open, comes that elusive,
though real, some thing that has come to
be known as "American IDEALS
AS leader, teacher, counselor and friend,

for one hundred years for the most thrill
ling example of empire building the world
| has ever witnessed.
Throughout the world war the country
newspaper was whole heartedly with the
government, regardless of it's political
faith, inspiring its following of patriotic
citizens to greater and greater effort, and
giving of its own slender resources to the
cause.
Not in the fields of the country press
did we lind the serpent of disloyalty.
Arthur Balfour of England recently re-
marked to an American newspaper man:
Upon the rural press of America rests
the fate of civilization.''
The country wspaper is, to be sure,
business enterprise, but we believe it
more nearly approximates an unselfish
public utility than any other American
business
And now the very existence of this
most dependable of our influences for
good is threatened by profteering in pa
per. fictitious market has been created
by greedy manufacturers, brokers and
metropolitan daiies, which promises to
make the publication of weekly news
papers impossible 1t has already made
the business improbable.
When country newspapers are no longer
possible. the country merchant and viii
lage life, steadying Influences in our nat
ional being, will pass. A tendency toward
Capitalization is already known to be
basic factor in our high cost of living and
| general unrest.
AS co-workers with and wholesalers to
the country press for fifty-seven years,
we tender you this appeal for relief from
$4,000 loyal American citizens-business
men upon whose continued business pros
perlty depends most largely the destiny
of our country.
We ask an immediate and thorough in
v6stlgation of conditions, and the appli-

to save the life of this industry.

Bill TO Extend Movie Power in

This Has Been a Poor Winter
for Morals Protectors.
FEBRUARY u LEGAL HOLIDAY
LincOIn's Birthday May Be OBJ
served in Kansas.
Public Utilities May Have to
Pay Interest on Deposits.

This is not a good winter for CEN
sorship. Cree1ized policies have re-
ceived an awful pummeling at the
hands of committees IN the Kansas
house of representatives. An effort to
put the lid on news. public speech, the
vode shows and the smokes persisted
in gas attacks by the legislature. Now
the house has refused to extend the
power-even the pay checks-of the
state movie censorship board.
Early this winter a bill was offered
in the house which provided more
power and authority for the lady board
which sits at the mouth of the Kaw
and passes judgment on the things
which the movie fan should and
should not see. They have kept the
state pure and above suspicion of a
moral slump by eliminations of bar
room scenes, smoking scenes, dancing
and cabaret acts. Even the gooey soul
kiss and clinching scenes by lovers
have been barred from the screen.

hand painted lady and sometimes it
