his responsibilities He began systematic
course of play, along with his work. He played
golf regularly, thus getting excellent outdoor
exercise and fresh air. He attended the theater
frequently, and in the main it is remembered
that he liked light comedies; this gave him
chance to laugh and forget it for the time.
And he grew stronger.
But for nearly year past the president has
been unable, owing to tremendous pressure Of
emergencies, to continue with regularity his
course of playing; he has been compelled to
work without ceasng to surrender himself to
the cruel grind of toll in the midst of RESPONSE
bilties perhaps more compelling than those
with which any man in human history has had
to deal

THE PRESIDENTS ILLNESS

TNHE ILLNESS of President Wilson appears to
be more serious than was believed at first.
The American people, and the free peoples of
the world and those who hope to be made free,
have very much ut stake in the outcome of the
doctors case at Washington. The world needs
now more than ever before the services of this
clear-minded, forward-looliing, wide-vsioned
citizen and statesman. 1t is fervently hoped
that his health may be restored presently, so
that the steady hand at the helm of human pro-
gress may continue to steer the ship straight
forward.
Mr.. Wilson has shown himself to be man
of marvellous vitality He was not robust man.

had been too much an indoors man in his uni

cuss the question of growing unrest
and mounting living costs.
The flippant claim that high wages
is responsible for present prices is no
longer heard since the railroad work
ers demand that wages must go up
or living costs must come down"
A considerable element in congress
would gladly dispose of the question
by referring it to Investigators that
"the facts may be ascertained." This
reliable old plan is given different
reception by workers than formerly,
as they are now acquainted with the
results of these Investigations. Be-
sides, the unrest refuses to subside.

sudden strain upon democratic insti-
tutions must be met by a wider
schooled electorate. This educational
crisis is met with the discovery that
penurious starvation has cut off the
supply of teachers.
The financial is one grievance. The
world has cast off Prussianism in
autocracy. Labor is establishing dem
ocracy in industry But the school is
still petty autocracy.
This, too, is passing away Teach
ers have looked upon the methods of
the labor movement in meeting these
problems and found them good. Like
unions in other trades they are even
more insistent upon voice in the
management of their work than upon
high wages In this they have the
support of all the tenets of modern
pedagogy. An autocratic school can
not produce well equipped citizens for
3 democracy.
All things are working together for
the added power of the teachers.
Scarcity is multiplying their value.
Their work in every field of national
defense, and their indispensability in
reconstruction, has granted before it
came their demand for greater social
recognition.
The day of the teacher is here. 1t
has been a long time coming. May it
be longer in going.

OF the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy.
The United States Commissioner of
Education announces an alarming
shortage of teachers. At the moment
when all the world has awakened to
the pressing need of new and great
er era in educational matters he says
that schools must close, extensions be
abandoned and all run even more
shorthanded than in the past. The
war has climaxed one more long ap-
preaching crisis.
Each year higher standards and
longer preparation have been demand
ed of teachers. Curriculums every
where were enriched by the impover-
ishment and exhaustion of teachers.
New duties were added because of
new needs and new ideals.
Then the teachers were paid less
than the janitors who swept the
school rooms, less than half the wages
of the man who erected the buildings
and far less than the minimum wage
experts have found necessary to sup
port home. Men were barred from
the profession. The women who en-
tered did so under penalty of a life
sentence to celibate poverty, unless
the bars were broken by marriage. a
The war explosion upset some of
this. The teaching profession ceased
10 have monopoly on the sense of
social service which teachers had so
long accepted in place of cash.
The long forgotten law Of supply
and demand rose to demand recogni-
ton and its price.
The new world needs education
above all else. The increased produc-
ton that alone can ward off misery
demands sudden multiplication of
kinds and quantity of education. The

ENGLISH CONDITIONS
Described By Well Known
Novelist

London.-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
has come out strongly against post
war profiteering as follows:
"Unless something is done quickly
and done thoroughly to check rising
prices in the necessaries of life, there
will be violence in this country. A
man must live and these wicked prices
are making it hard matter What
are our rulers about and why are they
tacitly protecting a handful of pro-
fiteers to the danger of the nation?
"The men who are making fortunes
out of the needs of the people are
not very numerous and they are not
difficult to find. Very little examina-
tion would establish their guilt, and
if there is no law to adequately punish
them, then it is reproach to our
lawmakers that such law should not
exist; let it be passed and most Wig
orously enacted. A dozen cases of
extreme punishment would work a
wondrous change.
II will take as illustration of the
present monstrous condition Of af-
fairs / have some first hand knowl-
edge of, the condition of that market
garden industry which supplies Lon
don with most of its vegetation. Cab
bage or lettuce, which is bought from
the market gardeners, who convey it
to Convent Garden at penny or 1-2
penny e cents), is sold in the shops
at an average of 8 pennies (f6 cents)
to one shilling (25 cents); occasion
ally it passes l shilling, for there is
no limit to conscienceless greed"

be understood that he has the slightest
toward the. American Fed
Grafton Of Labor; or to any other
labor organization. There has never
been anything in his record to indicate
such a thing. But he appreciates the
fact, that labor organization is
primarily representative of labor, and
chat it's only legitimate purpose is to
advance and uplift the labor cause. He
is not a man who would give way to
the idea that all other interest must
become subservient or subject to an
organization that can be representative
of only one interest. He realizes that
representative government must guard
all the varying interests over which 1t
has Jurisdiction with equal impartial
it,. The police is the right arm of rep
resentative government. No man can
serve two masters, and certainly a
policeman cannot do so. A police force
that belonged to the American Fedora
ton of Labor or any other labor or
ganlZatlOn, cOulu no lOHBeI pe iSiiSu
upon by the representative govern
mental forces to which it owes its un-
divided allegiance. For Governor
Coolidge to have permitted the Boston
police force to have fallen under the
domination of the American Federation
OF Labor, would have been to have sur
rendered the birthright to all of the
people to a part Of the people. In ef-
feet it would have been complete De-
trayal of his trust, with the result OF
far greater eventual harm to organized
labor than to the commonwealth. The
frank, open, courageous manner in
which he handled the whole situation
is no less admirable than the firmness
with which he ayerted what could moi
have but sooner or later resulted In
most deplorable catastrophe. With q
man like Governor Coolidge at the
head of affairs, the rights of the peo'
pie, under the constitution-all the
people are safe.
