q. S. Rail Ownership.

Government ownership OF railroads
is popular or unpopular. dependent
upon the class of people interviewed.
The business interests and shippers
are against it. though lately there has
been noticeable diminution in the
com mplaints against the service. But
the mass of the people. including la
cor generally and the railroad work
men, are strong for it, and it is going
to be pretty hard for any republican
candidate in the next presidential
election to advocate any return of the
railroads to q pre-waF basis. They
have the feeling that the public was
gouged under private ownership, and
only such proposals as will absolutely
safeguard the public will gain atten-
tion in these parts.
Presidents Halo Dimmed.
President Wilson is still much re.
spected but some of the halo with
which he used to be enveloped has
departed. Since the war ended there
has been more criticism than ever
before, though much of the Presi.
dents mistakes and troubles are at
tributed to subordinates. Democrats
and some are even more intense ia
their worship. Many republicans
too. still believe in Mr. Wilson's
philosophy. and altogether his stand
at the peace conference has kept his
prestige above par with the rank anl
file.
This state oscillates between demo.
cratic and republican electoral con.
tributions in presidential years, anl
opinion is SO divided that no one
could say as definitely that Nebrasks
| was one or the other, as it woule
seem to be possible in Indiana, Ohio
or Illinois.

THE GROTEsQUE CREEL BUREAU

The Council of National Defense,
which has been investigating the af-

information which is nothing short
of shocking, comments the Ft. Wayne
News. Not only did this grotesque
and abomniable appendage of the gov
eminent cost the taxpayers of the
country $6,6OO,0O0, but it's affairs
have been left in such a tangle that
they can never be Strengthened out.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of
unpaid bills stand against the bureau
and President Wilson's personal adj
vance of more than $4,000, 900, made
from his war fund after Congress had
refused to sanction the Creel outrage
further, fails to take care of the stu
alton.

URGES RAISE FOR TEACHERS

Nation Otherwise.
Expressing fear that 100000 New
Jersey school children may be made
victims of demoralized and broken
down educational SYSTEM" due to I'M
paid teachers, Governor Bunyon on
Dec 6, 1919, issued statement call
ing attention of the local boards of
estimate to "the gravity of the sit
uation," as set forth in the daily
press.
"New Jersey" he said, faces the
immediate prospect of closing schools
or drawing into the teaching profess
sion a still larger number of those in
adequately trained and those without
special preparation for the work.
Competition with other states for the
service of teachers appears unavoid-
able"
The Governor declared the scarcity
of teachers already had caused the
lowering of educational standards and
even the suspension of classes in
schools throughout the state. The
crisis was not limited to New Jersey,
he stated, but doomed as menace to
the public schools of the nation. Many
teachers have been forced into other
fields by the need to earn a living
wage, he pointed out.
IF our children are to be taught
by incompetent teachers or are not to
be taught at all the end of American
democracy as we know it, is in sight"
the Governor declared.

a few hours. Feeling slightly indis-
posed on Saturday evening, she was
at the office of her physician and after
securing some medicine she walked to
her home. Upon arriving there she
at once retired and showed no symp-
toms of being seriously ill until about
two o'clock Sunday morning. At that
hour DR.. CODY was called and re-
manned until Mrs. Frost went to sleep
in which condition she continued until
about 5 o'clock. Her pulse being low
and showing signs of great fatigue, it
was then seen that her condition was
critical She fingered until $3.50 a. m

MOTHERS PENSION LAW
BENEFITS THE CHILDREN
Thirty-Nine States Have Made Pro-
vision for Allotments for Little Ones

Thirty-Nine States Have Made Pro-
vision for Allotments for Little Ones
Remarkable progress has been
made in legislation providing for
mothers pensions since the first moth
ers' pension laws were passed in 1911
in Illinois and Missouri. Now 80
states, Alaska and Hawaii have made
some provisions for mothers left with
young children to support, and at
least five of the remaining states
have mothers pension laws under con-
sideration.
This rapid spread of legislation in
so brief period is Indicative of the
widespread conviction that no child
should be deprived of home life and
a mothers care because of poverty
alone.
All mothers pension laws provide
for the payment of a stated weekly
or monthly sum for each child under
a certain age to mothers who are
dependent upon their own efforts to
support their children and are NOR
ally and physically fit persons to
bring up their children. There is
considerable variation of the laws in
force in different states, some pro-
viding pensions only for widowed
mothers, others including women
who are divorced, who have been
deserted by their husbands, or those
whose husbands are in prison, in
state asylums or otherwise incapac-
itated. In three states expectant
mothers may receive mothers pen
sions, and in a number of instances
the mothers of children born out of
wedlock come within the scope of the
law

THE DECISION OF THE SUPREME
COURT ON THE WARTIME
PROHIBITION APPEALS.

BY a unanimous decision the Su-
preme Court sustains the wartime
prohibition act of November IS 1918.
1t is fortunate and salutary that
there was no dissenting opinion. Bit
ter as is the disappointment of the
"wets," they cannot murmur against
this unanimous decision of the high
est court. In declaring the statute
valid the Court reiterates a we'll
known essential principle of Ameri-
can Constitutional law. 1t may not
inquire into the motives of Congress
in passing statute, or into its wis
dom or necessity
The contention that we have come
to the end of the war emergency.
which ostensibly was the cause and
justification of the act, was rejected
by the Court. Though certain state
ments and acts of the President and
other executive officers were nroduced
TO show that the war emergency had
passed, the Court recited a series of
executive statements and acts show
ing that the President continues to
exercise special war powers granted
MN by war measures; that part of
the American Army is still on enemy
soil, and that the President has not
issued the proclamation of demobili-
cation for which the wartime nrohi-
bltlon act provides. In short. war;
time prohibition is a proper exercise
OF the war powers of Congress, anal
ogous with Federal control of the
railroads and fuel.
1t is strong and clear opinion
Even those who, on general grounds
have been opposed to or doubtful of
the wisdom of prohibition will be glad

HIGHER SALARIES FOR SCHOOL
TEACHERS.

1t has been made to appear that
better schools depend, first of all, on
better salaries. l think most school
men are agreed that it would be i'm
possible to raise the efficiency of the
schools considerably without raising
literally the material returns from
teaching. But of all the school prob
lens presenting for solution, the sal
airy question is possibly the easiest to
solve just now, because the public is
heartily in sympathy with the teach
ers in their demand for better pay.
While better pay will not necessar-
lily produce better teachers, it remains
that when salaries are more equitable
the teaching profession will attract a
greater number of people, and conse-
quently school officials will have the
opportunity to select the best candi-
dates available. Because of the low
salaries in the past it has rot been un-
common for many school officials to
employ teachers who were VIGOROUSLY
incompetent, but who got the employ
ment because they were the only ones
available. Between employing a weak
teacher and closing schools, admins
traitors have regarded the former as
the lesser evil.-Educational Expert in
the Baltimore Sun.
