JOHN J.. HARVEY.

On Thursday of last week, at his
home near German, John L. Harvey's
spirit was carried by the Death Angel
from this earth to the great beyond.
He was born in Tazwell county, ILL.,, on
July Is, 1887. He entered the Confed-
crate service Nov. 7, 1862, and was
assigned to McNeill's Rangers where
he distinguished himself as a brave
soldier in the many engagements in
which the Rangers took part. He par
ticipated in the capture of Generals
Crook and Kelly at Cumberland when
a few of his troopers entered the city
while there were encamped in and
about the town seven thousand Fed

IN SPITE OF PRESIDENT WILSON
NATIONALISM PREVAILS

Despite the efforts of Senator Hitch
cock, President Wilson's spokesman
in the Senate, to defeat the passage
of the Lodge reservation which re-
lieves the United States Of the obliga-
ton to preserve the territorial in
tegrity and political independence of
other countries, as laid down in Ar
ticle X of the league of nations COW
enant, the reservation has been pass
ed with vote of 46 to 33. The Re-
publicans voted as a body to relieve
the United States of obligations which
| otherwise would have meant perpet-
ual trouble for this country in every
corner of the globe. While not one
Republican voted against the adoption
of the reservation, four Democrats
voted for adoption These four men,
Senators Gore, Reed, Smith of Geor-
gia, and Walsh of Massachusetts, have
stood firm against the dangerous doc
trines of internationalism President
Wilson has said that this reserVa. ion
would cut the heart out of the league
of nations covenant. If so, it has cut
out the heart OF the most dangerous
document ever offered the United
States Senate for ratification. The
American people have q double rea-
son to rejoice at this time. The foes
of the government from within our
own shores, those who would over
throw all these things for which the
Constitution stands, have shown their
colors. They have attempted to spread
the seeds of discomfort. They have
appealed to the laboring man on strike
with the hope that he would carry
their fight under the guise of mistreat-
ment, as to wages, hours and work
ing conditions This attempt at
treachery has been revealed and the
country has witnessed the fact that
law and order, justice and right still
prevail. The l. W. W. who shot
down former American soldiers in
uniform in the state of Washington
quickly discovered that the hand of
the law and the will of the people
demands that the country be purged
of their presence.

eminent, whether It's members are
Democrats OF Republicans, was elected
upon a promise to give the county
teachers fair increases, there is 10
reason to doubt that the State Boards
recommendations will be given sym
pathetic consideration"
The details of the above proposed
increases have not been settled by any
means. Word is sent down the line,
however, that provisional and the old
time life certificates viii not come
under the new proposed teachers sal
airy scale. It is looked upon that
such recognition of the life certifi-
cate, secured in the period before the
food, and Of the provisional certifi-
cate, which in our county is being
granted regularly in cases outside the
intention of the State School Law.
would not be fair to new teachers en-
tering the service; nor even fair to the
State, for those certificates are and
were secured under far less exacting
requirements on the part of those who
received the provisional or did receive
the antiquated life certificate than are
now necessary to secure regular
State certificate as provided under the
o,,, e
Furthermore, the school authorities
OF our county will pay more salary
today to elenentry teachers who held
provisional and life certificates, &C
cording to the published scale of ell
ementary teachers salaries, if those
who hold either of these two types Of
certificates will only meet the re-
quirements and secure a regular
State certificate, which can be secured
in several ways, one of which does not
demand loss of time and money from
regular employment as a teacher.
Many school authorities will not re-
tain in the service for more than three
years, teachers who continue to hold
certificates below the next higher
grade possible to secure. Accordingly,
higher salaries are already possible
to elementary teachers who hold pro-
visional and life certificates. This
was the thought in mind concerning
teaching when an author wrote,
Higher salaries to teachers do not
necessarily mean better teaching.
Too great reliance may be placed in
pull" and intimidation.
Moreover, the proposed State salary
increases naturally will carry with
them more exacting rigid require
ments to secure a regular State GER
tiicate. The world does move in more
ways than one. The State can pro-
tect itself in providing higher salaries
for teachers in no other way. To Sc
cure the grade of ability necessary to
teach our children, the teaching force
must retain and be recruited by men
and women of ability. Only through
these higher standards Of efficiency
can the State protect and justify its
laws which demand and exact from
the tax payers more money for teach
ers' salaries.
And, of course, we may as well set
our teeth and prepare for higher
county levies for teachers salaries,
which will result in a higher county
tax rate, for the State never yet has
done it all.

HELL'S AMBASSADOR

If Satan by proclamation should as
semble all the powers and principal
Aies of hell in convention to elect and
dispatch to earth demon best quail
fled to arrest the processes of civili-
cation; to palsy the arm of philan-
thropy; to clog the wheels of the
chariot of progress; to blight with the
mildew of death the aspirations of
youth, and the fearful admonities of
fond mothers hearts; to turn widows
and orphans homeless and friendless
out to die, he could not have sent a
demon better equipped to carry on
and consummate every item of this
black inventory than the hideous mon
ster Bolsheviki. This very moment
he has millions of our fellow creatures
chained to his burning car, with
wheels rolling in blood and aXles Cir
cumvolving like lightning down the
slippery highway of degradation; he
is hurting them into eternal chaos and

APPEAL OF AMERICAN LEGION

The call for legislation on behalf
Of ex-service men sounded by Grand
Commander D'Olier of the American
Legion, merits a prompt response.
Congress ought not to give every
thing the former soldiers ask simply
because they ask it through fear
lest refusal count against candidates
at the next election. But whatever
is done should be done at once or
it will lose half its value. That is
true as to both insurance and voca-
tional training.
Commander D'Olier complains that,
although earlier legislation establish
ing bureau of insurance and voca-
tional training board was based upon
sound principles, their application was
very uneven in detail. Now that there
has been thorough test of these laws
in practice, it ought to be possible to
work out effective notifications that
would relieve distress where the re-
sponsbility for that lies upon the
nation, and that would enable young
men who would otherwise needlessly
become charge upon the country
to learn how to care for themselves.
These matters must not be permit
ted to go by default. There are two
rocks to steer clear of. The ugliest is
the traditional ingratitude of repub-
lies which accept the whole-hearted
service and the lives of their citizens
