STILL THE MAIN ISSUE

In his speech to Congress August 9,
President Wilson gave his answer to
the restless labor leaders. He said:
There must be no threats. Let there
be only intelligent counsel, and let
the best reasons win, not the strongest
brute force. Those who seek
to employ it only prepare their own
destruction"
The truth of this warning is proved
by the labor conditions in other parts
of the world. The President observes
the strained relations between capital
and labor, but he may be in error
when he says ''the more extreme lead
ers of organized labor will presently
yield to a sober second thought, and,
like the great mass of their associates,
think and act like true Americans. y
Such an appeal may be lost in an in
cited mob of laborers. He will go
into conference with those who know
what they are talking about
Some of the legislation which the
President proposes to use now to fight
rising prices has been on the statute
books for more than two years. This
sadly exposes the negligence of the
administration, which waited until
public opinion reached almost cris-
is before making an investigation. I'm
doubtedly in the heat of treaty-mak-
ing the President forgot, temporarily.
home affairs of undeveloped conse-
quences- And now politically, econ
omically, socially. the world is on the
operating table. and it has not been
possible TO administer any anesthetic."
The anesthetic can be none other than
his statement that there can be no
settled conditions here or elsewhere

until the Treaty of Peace is out OF the
way. ;" All that is done in the
meantime to reduce prices and re-
strain profiteering will be makeshift
and provisional" This is as much as
to say that until the Senate gets its
job out of the way nothing permanent
can be done.
The President compared the pres
ent supply of food and clothes with
last years with the conclusion that
there is much boarding. This is in
part the cause of profteering. There
is an act prohibiting pfofiteering, but
there is no penalty attached. He
asked Congress to appropriate suffi-
cient funds to carry on Investigations
and prosecutions. Sectional relief is
being obtained through the sale of
army provisions.
But there is no large or well defined
hope for lower prices in the Presi-
dents suggestions.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-Can
you create the one word which will
best denote the United States and all
parts of Britannia? If so, you will be
paid at the rate of $1,000 word. The
World Trade Club of San Francisco
has offered this amount to the person
who suggests the word which, in the
judgment of the clubs metric cam
paign committee, is best adapted to
worldwide use.
The competition is open to every
one. The money will be paid to the
winner May Is, 1920, by committee
appointed by W. H. Hammer, presi-
dent of the World Trade Club.
BRITAIN" "Abria," "Ambritti-
Ca" "Br-Am," Sam Bull, are some
words thus far suggested.
The World Trade Club is Offering
this award because in carrying on its
present campaign for the adoption of
metric units by all English-speaking
people-the United States, the British
Isles, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
Tasmania, United South Africa and so
ONT was hampered by the lack of
a single short word which would ex-
press all these.
The metric units of weight and
measure are now used by all the world
except Britain" or "Ambrittica," or

THE OLD TIGER CONES BACK

When the University of Missouri
opens for the fall term August 2S it
will be with renewed pep and re-
freshed spirit, for the old pre-war
tiger will come back; he has already
filled out his registration blank and
sent it to the registrars office.
All indications point to one OF the
biggest emollments in the history OF
the school. 1t has been estimated that
a thousand students who were in
school before the United States en-
tered the war will return for the 1919
20 session.
One reaction of the war has been
to give men and women a sharper ap-
petite for knowledge, and they right
ly believe that university education
can come nearer than anything else
to satisfying their hunger.
We hope to see at least 5000 stu
dents at the old Tiger school this fall.

LABORERs OR CAPITALISTS

Are they laborers or capitalists?
They certainly are not capitalists.
They don't like to be called labor
ers; that doesn't sound right.
All, we have it, they are profession
ais.
Teachers are professionals. OF
course they are. They work with their
brains and not with their hands. But
wait-a teacher is employed-hired
is too harsh term. The doctor and
the lawyer are not employed at a
fixed wage.
Missouri teachers are wondering
just what they are. One has pointed
out that there are only two classes,
not laborers and capitalists, but em-
ployers and employed. Whether the
job be selling shoes, peddling books,
decorating houses or instructing the
coming generation, the problem of the
man employed is the same.
Another teacher has said that the
teachers of the world should be neu-
tral because they serve all people
capitalists, laborers and professionals.
1t may be considered that their
field is professional but the teacher
in the public school is employed and
his problem in relation to wages is the
same as that of any other employed
men,
