BETTER PAY
FOR TEACHERS.

The most poorly paid people in Mis-
sissippi, for the work they do and for
the training they have to make before
they can work at all, are the teachers.
The day laborers at the sawmills, the
section hands on the railroads, the
men doing construction work on the
public highwys ETC., are getting bet
ter wages than the teachers in our
high schools The skilled laborers,
such as bricklayers, carpenters, me-
chanics, engineers, ETC., are drawing
salaries that would run an ordinary
high school teacher crazy.
A negro boy, Is years old, who has
never been inside Of a school house,
can come right out of the field, or
from any other place, and start in
any of the sawmills in the state at a
salary which is higher than the aver
age college graduate is drawing as
teacher in any of the high schools in
the country. If the negro boy hap
pens to know how to smear mortar on
brick or can drive lO-penny nail so
that he can get by as bricklayer or
carpenter his salary exceeds that OF
the high school principals.
The negro's expenses are nothing as
compared to those engaged in teaching
Il. he has pair of "overalls," brogan
shoes and a five-year-o hat, thrown
away by some white man, he is stylish
and comfortably dressed fo.' his pro-
|fession. He eats whatever ne can get,
always boarding at the cheapest hous-
es, while the teacher must spend lot
of money for clothing and from $40
] to $50 per month for board in order
to command respect. They have to
attend the normals in summer on be
)classed as "has beens," and there are
| lot of other expenses too numerous
to mention.
And then we wonder why we can'i
tget better teachers. We don't under
island why so few men are engaged in
teaching and some school boards
Iactually feel that the salaries Of then
teachers are high enough. Think OF
lit. The men and women who have the
Idestinies of our children in their keep

|of coming generations so that the fu.

profession, that they are forced tt
|Stint themselves, to undergo all sorts
iof hardships, ETC., while others who
Shave spent nothing for education ant
Training, and who live with minimum
lexpense draw salaries far in excess OF
theirs.

tier salary and then they must equiv

Iery white child, should have the adj
Vantage of a good eight OF nine month:

WHO WILL BE OUR
NEAL GOV EkNOk!

In a recent issue OF the Jackson
Evening News, / noticed an editorial
al which Editor Fred Suilens says the
Democratic and Republican parties
check each other in the northern states,
and that, as We have only one party
IA Mississippi, factions" are absolute
~ necessary. We admit the two great
parties OF our nation check eacn otner,
and we presume his statement about
factions III Mississippi checking eacn
other" is also true, but the wonder %
it all is that Mr.. Sullens has at last
seen some good in the faction opposing
the one with which he affiliates. He
has at last admitted there is some gOou
in the Vardaman faction in MisSls-
sippi. When do you suppose the little
county papers of the Anti-faction "
receive their orders to preach such
doctrine? Though we have been eX-
pecting them to accept the suggestion
of Boss Sullens and begin to preach
factionahsm, we notice they continue
crying do away with factions ano
eltsct clean man." Since we do not
know where they would 60 for a clean
man who is not connected with tao
ton, We suggest that all the voters
select the best possible man regardless
OF factions SO thsv we snail have COM
petent and capable officers.
In conclusion let me suggest to the
voters OF Scott county that 1t IL easy
to see The purpose Of the above su2-
gested editors. They intend to have
MIR. Sullens line up the Anti-vote to
a man against all who oppose theil
views while the county editors of our
state, by crying away with factional-
ism, prevent the election Of men OF the
opposing faction. In fact they know
that more than $4,000 votes were
polled for senator in 1911 and that
there We're only little 0vcr 100000
votes polled for the same office In
1918. They also realize that Sen.
Harrison received less than $1,000
votes, which is considerably less than
half Of the normal vote of Mississippi.
Then is it any wonder that they are
crying harmony over all Of the coun-
ties while Mr.. Sullens advocates fac
tons? Don't let them deceive you.
They want Johnston for Governor to
defeat Vardaman for the Senate, but
if they can't get him they will take
Longino. They will never choose Lee
Russell, who is thoroughly capable and
would make an excellent Governor.
From the above you will sec Pal
Harrison lacked more than as many
votes as were polled in 1911. There
will evidently be greater number
polled in the next election. AS Mr..
Sullens suggests that there should be
factions in Mississippi, ignore the
peace cry OF the county papers and
vote for your faction. This will
answer the question, "Who Will i.
Our Next Governor?"
A DEMOCRATIC VOTER.
