nently establish republic until they
had tried three times to do 50. The
anarchy of the French revolution pro,
dn'ed Napoleon Bonaparte, as first
consul. and then as emperor. The rev

was result of the Franco-prussian
war and the king Of Prussia was prn-
claimed emperor of the Germans. Sen

Turn of Elimination Tide.

Since the signing of the armistice
the city of Barre has at different times
reported the emigration of groups eff
its foreign population TO their native
countries Similar conditions have
been observed in some of the larger
cities and some alarmists have been
sure that the departure of these aliens
was rapidly taking away the country's
labor. But according to the
New York World the tide has already
turned and those who were the first
to go are now returning, having found
conditions in their war devastated
much worse than they

underpaid Teachers

The newspapers are bewailiug the
fac that there is an actual shortage
of $4,000 teachers in the public schools
OF the United States with $1,000
teachers giving instruction who are
not fit to instruct the young. 1t is a
very serious condition. 1t is nation
al disaster, even though it is not rec
ognized as such by the average indi-
Vidual. The reason for this state of
affairs is plain enough. Public school
teachers, as rule, are underpaid. 1t
is difficult to interest young women or
young men in a career which they
know is not appreciated by the pub
lie, and it cannot be maintained that
a career which is so much underpaid
as is that of teaching, is properly APP
preciated 1t is all right to talk about
the spirit of service and the like. but
those who are equipped to be of ser
vice to others must think of service
to themselves. A normal individual
will go into that work which gives a
proper return. There is no need to
have swollen salaries to get good in
structors of the young If there is a
living wage paid, one which permits
person to live well and in a reasonable
then the spirit of service will
become a factor. This country cannot
afford for its own safety or for its
own material we'll being to per
nit the condition which the
opening of the school year revealed. |

A Bio Responsibility

Those who have been trying to be-
little Senator Lodge must have been
taken back a bit by the warm recep-
ton the senior senator from the Bay
state received at the Massachusetts
Republican convention last week 1t
was clearly demonstrated that Massa-
chusetts Republicans hold the efforts
and the Americanism of the man in
high regard and that they. have not
been affected by the ugly attacks tlrat
have been made upon him because of
his staunch determination that the
treaty of peace shall not be ratified
until the League of Nations has been
so interpreted that all American in
terests have been safeguarded. The
platform presented and adopted up
held the senator in his demand for
reservations, and in view of the fact
that the Democratic Senator Walsh is
also for alterations in the pact, it can
be said that Massachusetts is not for
the treaty as brought back from Paris.
The treaty can be ratified if the Am
ercan protective reservations are ac-
cepted. 1t cannot be ratified if they
are not. The question is whether it is
better to have a peace with America
protected, or no peace treaty at all
This is the question which President
Wilson must ultimately decide The
delay in SENSATIONAL action hangs upon
this point and is directly the result
of the presidential edict' that the Sen
ate must take it or leave it. There the
responsibility for delay rests; there
the responsibility for no peace will
rest if it comes to such a pass. 1t is
quite responsibility for one man to
assume Adams MESSENGER
