SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS

n U p f r n T ENDENT SHAM
- BAUGH'S announcement that
there is a shortage of teachers
in Dauphin county is another indi-
cation of the need of more pay for
all teachers.
BY dozens and scores the teachers
under Professor Shambaugh have
dropped out to take positions where
pay is more generous and where the
chance for advancement is greater.
1t is a shameful thing that most
of our teachers, to whom we entrust
the guidance of the boys and girls
of to-day who will be the men and
women of tomorrow, are paid less
in most cases than the wages of un-
skilled labor. We require that these
men and women prepare themselves
for their work over a period of
years and that they keep up their
studies and show improvement from
year to year. We expect them to
teach the children under their care
to believe that this is the best Gov
ernment under the sun, to cherish
our institutions and respect those in
authority. And then this same Gov

THE SHAFFER BILL

THE Shaffer bill, now before the
House, permitting boroughs to
eXpend money for the erection
of soldiers monuments or memorials,
would extend to municipalities the
provisions of the law passed about
twelve years ago granting such per-
mission to county commissioners.
Many boroughs that desire to do
something to commemorate the pa
triotism of their men in the great
war have found themselves embar-
rassed by lack of authority. The old
idea of raising a few hundred dol
lars for the erection of metal SOL
dier in the public square no longer
prevails Most of the boroughs want
to erect memorial buildings,
community houses or neighborhood
buildings, and to do it they would
have to sell bonds, which they have
no authority now to do.
The Shaffer bill would permit bor-
oughs to hold elections, at the re-
quest of five per cent. of the voting
population, for the creation of bond
ed Indebtedness to run ten years, not
to exceed two per cent. of the
assessed valuation of the municipal
ity, the money to be used for the
construction of such memorial as
may be deemed best.

IRON the New Y ork IrlDune.1
According to Paris reports. the
! peace conference, will bring the eX-
kaiser to trial. This decision has
been long delayed. 1t was opposed
by extreme national legalists and by
those morbidly tender souls who
deprecate "vindictiveness' toward
those responsible for Germanys
criminal methods of warfare.
| The general run of mankind is not
so easily affrighted by the shadow
of justice. When the Germans were
breaking the laws of war and over
riding the restraints thrown about
military harshness by humanitarian
compacts and understanding, no
voice was raised to excuse the War
/ Lord, in whom the duty to prevent
such enormities was vested. Nobody
was arguing then, as Mr.. Lansing
and other American delegates in
Paris have recently been doing, ac-
cording to the press reports, that
the head of a state is responsible
! for his illegal acts to the people
from whom he derives his authority
and not to any foreign sovereignty"
! Nobody was saying then that muir
aererS of civilians, women and chill
dren were immune because they
wore Ine pGTnlan uIllOTllS anu were
acting in obedience to duly consti-
tuted domestic authority.
The kaiser didn't murder his own
subjects. He and they co-operated
in numbering and despoiling enemy
subjects. How can they be expected
to bring him to justice for crimes
in which they were enthusiastic ac-
complices? His and their offenses
were committed against laws which
all nations were pledged to uphold.
The Allied powers, representing the
collective authority of the world as
! fully as they do, are perfectly COM
| petent to try the kaiser and his sub
ordinates for these breaches of law
and faith. If they haven't a trbun-
al ready made they may easily Gre
ate one. and they are also at liberty
to establish a trial procedure which
| they may deem suitable. They have
ample jurisdiction. All they need to
do is to assert it.
The legalistic sticklers at Paris
recommended the conference to
dodge the issue by devolving on Bel
gium the task of prosecuting such
German offenders as she could get
into her courts. That was a counsel
of pettiness. The powers have now
apparently rejected it in favor of
topen and courageous joint action.

VIII Feed the World

The story of the growing winter
wheat is that of an unprecedented
acreage, never before equaled, and
n condition so high as to be without
precedent or parallel. 1t is, in fact,
a monotone of perfection.
1t is known that Canada will large
ly increase her acreage in spring
wheat If the weather be propitious.
1t is, therefore, among the probabili-
ties, under favorable conditions, that
the United States and Canada may
produce about forty per cent of all
the wheat grown in the world and
may have an exportable surplus of
between six hundred and fifty and
seven hundred million bushels; far
more than these countries have ever
exported in the past, and which will
tax to the utmost the storage and
transportation. facilities of America
and Europe. and more than suffice to
feed the hungry world.
Russia. the former granary of
Europe, will not be able to feed her.

export.

Fritz Wilhelm, Horse Doctor
tFrom the Living Age.

ltrom the Living Age
Compilers of year books and ref
erence books have been sorely tried
by the Kaleidoscope changes of the
past twelve months. The editors of
the "Almanach de Gotha" for 1919,
however, must be given a place
apart among the victims of unstable
circumstances. Their difficulties are
but mildly expressed in their apollo
getic statement that the dismember
ment of Austria and the transforma-
ton of twenty-five German stat
into as many republics interrupted
our labors as we were going TO
press"
has been the choice of designations
for the fallen potentates, which
should not offend foreign susceptible
tiles. Thus in the French edition,
"Cidevant," has been found a bless
ed phrase, and Gallo prejudices are
further considered in the case of the
all-highest and his first begotten by
laying stress on their subsidiary
qualifications.
The eX-kaiser is referred to as
doctor of law, medicine and science,
and only in conclusion as grand ad-
miral and field marshal; while the
ex-crown prince is given claim to
distinction as veterinary surgeon.
After all. things might have been
worse. Frederick William Victor
August Ernest of Prussia might. for
instance. have been awarded a diplo-
ma for household removals.

INVASION" OF SPAIN
[From the Living Age

The Barcelona journal Vanguardia
sounds a note of warning against the
danger, very real in the writer
opinion, of the capture by foreigners
OF the natural wealth of Spain, and
of her virtually becoming u colony
of the United States.
A commercial invasion from that
country forms a frequent topic of
conversation in Barcelona just now.
This is no mere rumor. That the
Americans intend to esta bliSh in
Spain one of their most lucrative
markets, and to work to their ad-
vantage the neglected wealth of It's
soil is proved by the recent estab-
lishment of number of American
banks, by the daily opening of
leading New York houses, and by
schemes for the construction of rail-
ways, to be managed from the other
side of the Atlantic.
The Pizzarros and the Cortes of
this conquest of Spain by America
are affable managers who are bring
ing in their train an arm of COM
mercial travellers, foremen, engineers
and clerks. With very few excep-
tions, Spaniards regard this invasion
with indifference, il not with actual
approval, arguing that industries
once set up in the country will re-
main there, supply work, and cause
money to circulate. Let the Yankees
come by all means they say. There
is a tendency among the majority
either to enjoy or hoard money made
during the war and to leave the de-
velopment of natioanl resources to
foreign capital. AS a result of the
influx of wealth due, to the war may
be noted the increase of the thea
ters. music halls and luxuries of
all kinds.

WOODEN SHIPS

They are remembering forests where
they grew;
The midnight quiet and the giant
dance;
And all the singing summers that
they knew
Are haunting still their altered
circumstance.
Leaves they have lost, and robins in
the nest,
Tug of the friendly earth denied
to ships,
These, and the rooted certainties,
and rest
To gain watery girdle at the hips.
Only the wind that follows ever aft.
They greet not as a stranger on
their ways;
But this old friend, with whom they
drank and laughed.
Sits in the stern and talks of other
days,
When they had held high bacchan-
alias still,
Or dreamed among the stars on
some tall hill.

WOULD WE?

The population of the coastal strip
ofDalmatia, according to the Austri-
an census. is made up of eighteen
thousand Italians to $4,000 Slays
1t may be as DR.. Fl. H. Powers sug-
gested in his article in The Star
yesterday, the Italians are three
times as numerous as the official fig
ures show. They would still number
not more than 10 per cent of the
population. This land was to be
awarded Italy under the treaty of
London. when italian help was sore
ly needed in the war.
Suppose Italy gets Dalmatia, as is
now expected. Suppose ten years
hence there should be a Slavic up
rising there and Jugo- -Slavia should
come to the aid of the rebels. Under
Article X of the proposed league
covenant. the United States would
he bound to guarantee Dalmatia to
Italy.
Would the people who are sup
porting the League, be prepared to
send their sons abroad to fight in
such cause?-From the Kansas

Return to Circuit Riders"

To solve the problem of needs in
rural church fields in Michigan, the
State mission board of the Michigan
Baptist convention voted to return
to the old Circuit rider" system of
special workers, but will equip their
men with motor cars. They will
send them to several neglected parts
of the State, where small churches
find it hard to live.
Capable young men, at good SAL
aries, maintained by the State con-
vention board, will be engaged to
work at several points, adopting
modern social methods in reaching
the farmers. 1t is planned to hold
schools for community service, to
develop modern ideas for stimulat-
ing the latest farming methods, to
give attention to questions concern
ing recreation for young people and
adults. and to combine Bible study
and religion with practical programs
for improving living conditions and
making young people more interest
ed in remaining on the farms -

The ArHul Mr.. BurleSon
[From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.

lF'rom the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. ]
Postmaster General Burieson, with
the acumen of a small politician
playing the part of Il big boss, tries
to divert public attention from his
own official delinquencies by charg-
ing the newspapers with a conspir-
acy to ruin him.
This is the ready device of the
narrow, self-obsessed official mind
to confuse the issue of wrongdoing
and avert public condemnation. 1t
is true, as he says, that the news
papers opposed his postal zone
scheme and severely criticised it,
They condemned him for initiating
and urging the project, and justly
SO. 1t was a foolish measure to
make revenue out of the postal SER
vice, regardless of consequences. In
the most serious crisis in the his
tory of the country, when the Gov
ernment needed the widest newspa-
per circulation, this measure, de-
signed to limit circulation and to
turn the postal service into a COM
mercial enterprise, was jammed
through by Mr.. Burleson. 1t was
one of his worst blunders and one
of the worst that a postal head could
commit.
To charge, however, that on ac-
count of this blunder the newspapers
conSpired to ruin him is ridiculous.
AS well charge a newspaper conspir-
acy against Congress because the
newspapers condemn the mistakes
and follies.
What has the charged conspiracy
to do with the charges of untitness,
official tyranny and folly and politi-
cal meddling and laundering made
against Mr.. Burleson himself :?
Their truth or falsity is the only
question that concerns the public.
If they are true, newspaper con-
spiracy against him does not justify
his conduct. 1t tends to justify the
conspiracy"
Mr.. Burleson is in desperate
straits when he feels impelled to re-
sort to film fam of this kind to de-
fend himself. 1t ought not to fool
President Wilson. 1t ought to
strengthen the conviction that he is
the wrong man for Postmaster Gen.
eral. Neither Mr.. Burleson nor the
Wilson administration can be saved
from public Judgment by such fiimsy
evasion.

Interpreting the OmenS

In his youth Mark Twain edited a
weekly journal in a small Western
town. A subscriber wrote to him
one day to remark that he had dis
covered a spider concealed in the
folds of recently delivered paper.
The writer wanted to know whether
such an occurrence was a sign of
good or bad luck.
The young editor replied in the
next issue as follows:
Constant Reader: The appear
ance of a spider in copy of last
weeks paper was a sign of neither
good nor bad luck: that intelligent
insect was merely studying our col
umns in order to ascertain whether
any store in the neighborhood had
failed to advertise in our paper. in
order that he might make for that
establishment and there weave a
web across the doorway. where he
might dwell in undisturbed peace"

do so all day and very often it is
the indication of a three days rain.
When 1T is raining and it bright
ems and darkens alternately you can
count on an all day rain, with a
chance of clearing at sundown.
When the rain ceases and the
clouds are still massed in heavy
blankets one sure sign of clear
weather is the patch of blue sky
that shows through the rift large
enough to make pair of sailors
breeches."
Another sign of continued rain
is when the smoke from the Chin
ney hoVers low around the house
tops. When it ascends straight into
the air this indicates clearing
weather.
A foggy morning is usually the
forerunner of clear afternoon.
A thunderstorm in winter (usu-
ally in, January or February is al

er. 1t is not, as many think, the
breaking up of winter.
People living near the seashore
say storm is brewing" when the
air is salty, caused by the wind
blowing from the east.
A red or copper colored sun or
moon indicates great heat. A sill
very moon denotes clear, cool
weather.
The old Indian sign of a dry
month was when the ends of the
new moon were nearly horizontal
and one of them resembled a hook
on which to hang his powder horn.
Many people troubled with rheu-
matism and neuralgia usually are

diet changeable weather by feeling
it in their bones"

sage is never go out during April
