~ advertised by reason of his many activ-
tiles, and everywhere recognized as strong
in aggressiveness and capacity. There
may have been better men in the cabinet,
but they have performed no service suffi-
GENTLY conspicuous to get them into the
candidate class. This is true Of Lane and
Houston, for example
The nominating convention of the party
lin power always resolves itself into a
race between the administration and its
opponents That was the nature of the
battle in 1896, which led up to the nomi-
nation of William J. Bryan The anti
administration forces outran those of Mr..
Cleveland. That was the battle in the
Republican ranks in 1908, when the Roose-
welt administration forces backing Mr..
Taft outran the rest of the field Next
years battle in the Democratic conven-
ton might well be one between Champ
Clark and the White House candidate.
In such a situation we should look to
see the Wilson administration control. We
can hardly conceive of the President
losing strength fast enough to permit o.
any other result And his control woulC
, mean virtually his selection of candidate
That might be himself, or his son-in-law

you wouldn't whistle when you were

by whistling.

Salaries of Teachers.
Rutland News.

Why the IS day trade workers, the
$50 a week granite cutters, the highly
paid railroad workers-the men who
through collective bargaining have
managed to force their own wages up
but who, when they turn employers
themselves, are worse than the very EN-
ployers they so bitterly fight? These
are pertinent questions the Burlington
News asks when it calls attention TO
the small salaries paid school teachers.
These educated, refined persons-foster
parents of our ehildren-largely res
ponsihe for equipping them for the
struggle of life get about one fourth
the annual income that the granite cut
ter or railway train conductor gets. The
only answer is that the school teachers
will be forced to unionize, to employ
the strike, to force collective bargain

The main diffrents between the pee
pie that have money and the people
that haven't is that the people that
haven't eny wunt some vile the people
that have some wunt more. This proves
that enybody can be dissatisfied.
There is cheef ways of getting mon
ey-ferst, having it left to you. End,
working for it, and 3rd, finding it. the
therd being the most cheerful. If man
drops sent and can { find it rite away
he keeps on going. thinking, o well,
its, ony a sent, watts a sent ?--nuthing.
But if he finds sent that sumbody
elts lost he looks at he date on it and
puts it in his pockit and thinks he s
CRATE and tells people about it all day,
This proves that sumthing for nuthng
don't half to be werth enythng TO be ap.

People would rather give money away
than lose il, ony they seldim do
Having money in your pockit gives
you one of the most important feelings
there is, and the more you have the
more you appreciate yourself. If you
wawk past candy store with sents
in your rsockit it gives you more inioy-
ment than if you wawked all the way
thru the store with niIthing in youl
poekit but string and air and buttons
and things.

A sent an a dollar gold peece are

WOMEN ARE CARELESS

This has been proved over and over
again during the war. They overesti-
mate their physical strength and over
tax it. Their ambition is commendable,
but does not compensate for the hours
and days of misery which they suffer
from symptoms caused by female ills
brought on by overwork Women who
are weak. nervous, Respondent, with
headaches, backache and dragging down
pains should remember there is one tried
and true remedy, that is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, now recog-
nized everywhere IA the standard remedy
for such ailments.

WEDNESDAY. NAY q, 1919.
THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS

Anyone thinking President Wilson had
lost touch with conditions at home dur
ing his prolonged stay in Paris must
have had an eve opener when he read
the President ; message to congress.
The message shows the President has
lost nothing of his political shrewdness
as he has made strong appeal to the
popular mind and apparently out re-
publcanized the Republicans them
selves.
His strongest appeals to popularity
are the demand for the repeal of the
war tilncs prehih ftabn aalfssoa faH as i
applies to wine and beer, Nthe advocacy
Of enactment of the equal suffrage con-
stitutional amendment and the call for
a partnership between capital and labor
and a genuine characterization of in
/ dustry.' There are millions of votes in
each one of the classes whose cause is
championed and his declaration will 90
far toward corralling those votes for
himself in future political contests.
Perhaps the most effective checkmat-
ing Of the Republicans was his complete
abandonment of government ownership
or control Of the railroads, telephones
and telegraph. His advocacy of tariff
laws with "teeth to protect American
Industry, reduction in wartime excess
profit taxes and the abolition of taxes
on retail sales were a most successful
hold up of Republican thunder
In fact, the whole message was a
whole olive tree held out to his politica
opponents and it will go far toward cs
tablishing peace between the executive
and legislative branches Of the govern
mont. The President has skillfully re
duced the fighting area between himselt
and congress to the international prob
| lens of sthe treaty of peace and tn,
League of Nations and has seized tn
most advantageous position for his bat
tlefeld. He is the champion of tn
popular cause in this contest when i
comes and will put the Republican op
4 position in bad when it opens its gun
4 upon him.
i No matter what one S political ailil
iations are. he must realize that III

The thought of two continents is
quite largely concentrated upon Harry
G.. Hawller and Lieut. Commander
Gricvc who have persisted at sea in Il
biplane. They are victims of the ambi-
ton to become world leaders in air
fights across the Atlantic. They are a
part of the toll progress takes from the
human family. Then fate shows the
individual is not equipped to under
take such an enormous feat at this
time Back Of the Americans who are
attempting to cross the Atlantic by
airplane are a national fleet. If the
NC4, the only plane left, succeeds, it
will demonstrate a national rather than
IN individual victory That is as far
as air navigation across oceans has been
developed or is likely to be for some
time. The world admires the courage of
Hawker and Grieve but regrets that
their strong spirit Of rivalry has driv-
en- them to such an early and unneces
sary death
