THE PRIVILEGED
DIRECTOR.

Returning American soldiers
are inclined to be cri: cal about
the politeness with which So
called conscientious directors
are being treated. And their
attitude seems to be, in !. meas
ure, justified.
They have heard and read
abundantly about the appre-
citation with which America has
viewed their heroism in the
face of hardships too heavy for
blasphemy and dangers too APP
palling for description. And
now they are beginning to look
for the proofs of it.
And when they learn that
1875 DIRECTORS have been releas-
ed from Camp Funston with an
honorable discharge, they be-
gin to suspect that some one
has been kidding them.

rejoice that young America is
receiving a high standard of
educational opportunity. If.
however, the education receiv-
ed is worthless. why not offer
a price that will buy an educa-
ton worth having?
At the present moment, the
development of the rising gen.
Grafton marks Americas great
est crisis. Unrestricted i'm
migration has made this coun-
try an chronological freak show.

really uplifting force we may
guarantee to the America of
the immediate future the per-
petuation of the ideals and
standards which are at present
in danger of passing to the dis
card.

Hurt.

On Thursday. May Goth, the spirit
of Mrs. Vina Hurt passed from this
life into a greater life beyond. She
had been in poor health only a short
time, and her death was a shock to her
many friends and relatives.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her
husband, mother, three brothers, six
sisters and a host of friends, who ex-
tend to them their deepest sympathy
in their sad hour of bereavement and
loss.
She was married only four years
ago to Mr. Sam Hurt, and before her
marriage she was Miss Vina Ross, a
daughter of Mrs. Amelia Ross of
Union.
At the time of her death she was
30 years of age, and her life has been
beautiful Christian character, she
was a member Of the Baptist church,
believing and trusting God all her
life. Just before the end came she
told her mother in beautiful words
she was willing to answer the sum-
mons.
Strange to say, we can't understand
the providence of God, but He is too
wise to make a mistake, but it seems
He chooses the fairest ones for His
own, but He alone knows all things
best.
We will miss her in many ways,
but we can live the kind of life to
meet her in the Great Beyond.
She was laid peacefully to rest in
the Paint Lick cemetery beneath a
beautiful mound of flowers to await
the coming Of that happy day, when
there shall be no more parting.

TEACHERS-S16,
BARBERS-S3O.

Two advertisements appear
ed lately in a New York news
paper-one of them calling for
tory and PHYSIOLOGY, at p sal
airy of sos a month. The other
a teacher of mathematics, his
one called for a colored barber
at $50 a week.
There is no particular reason
why the barber should not get
$50 a week. Milk wagon
drivers are getting S35, and
they don't need to know more
about driving than any farm
10y knows. A quick, light
fingered barber needs as much
deAterity as milk wagon driv-
er, and deserves as good a sal
airy.
But we are sorry for the
teacher of mathematics and
history. S65 each calender
month means SIS a week. The
barber who gets $50 for prun-
ing whiskers may be glad he
knows nothing about mathe-
MATES or history. In Washing
ton teacher has to work 25
years before qualifying Tor Il
wage of $500 a year. In Chi.
cago a teacher cannot get ST.
900 a year before putting in l.;
years in TIE profession. In IS
states the teachers average less
than S400 year.
And in Illinois a high :.'hool
teacher who tried to PERSUADE
,ne of his pupils to stay and
finish his education was met
with an irrefutable argument.
II have a job in a NINE" said
the boy. 81 am making more
money without an education
han you are making with one.
We are told sometimes that
teachers deserve no more than
they get. If this is true, it does
not improve the situation; it
only makes it worse. If the
type of education that young
America is getting is worth
more than is paid for it, SO
much the better for young
America. We may sympathize
with the teachers, but we may

THE WISH THAT
BATTERED A THOUGHT.

There are those who express
3 fear that the trend of inter-
national events is leading to
friction between America and
british Empire.
Those who express this fear
do not really feel it. They are
really afraid that there will
not be friction. When they
mention it in tones of assn ae :
apprehension, they are really
suggesting it, trying to foment
it. 1t is simply the latest form
of pro-Germanism.
1t is not fear. 1t is dying
hope. There is too much that
is Anglo-Saxon among the fun
damentals in this country for
such an inspiration to material
ize.
The very khaki that our SOL
diers wear follows the color
adopted for the uniform of the
British army. The whole sys-
TEN of jurisprudence that guild
es our legal institutions is
founded on Blackstone.
The movements that consti-
tute the strongest reforming in
fluences in our social life
what are they? The S. P. c.
A. The Salvation Army, The
Y. NJ. c. A., and many others.
Where do they come from?
The Salvation Army was
founded in London, and has its
headquarters there. The Y. NJ.
C. A. came to birth in the same
city, and is directed therefrom
throughout the world. And
as for the S. P. c. A.-what

ROADS
GOOD ROADS FOR MILITARY
Smooth Highways Imperative in Prop
er Movement of Army Equip
ment Along Coasts.

1t is generally recognized by gov
eminent officials, especially those of
the army, that one of the most inn
portant phases of real military pre-
paredness that can possibly be under
taken In this country is that which Is
going on under the impetus of the
good roads movement The federal
aid road act which was signed by
President Wilson last summer will
probably play an important part in
this same interest. An appropriation
of $75,00O,000 has been provided for
in this act for use in constructive
rural post-roads, while the various
states are to cooperate in providing
like fund.
1t is planned thus for an expendi-
ture of $150,000,000 on such roads
within the next five years. Although
the roads are intended primarily for
the purpose of developing the re-
sources of the national forests, and
in the interest of agriculture and 9th
er peaceful enterprises, some study is
now being made of their practical use
in the interest of military prepared
ness.
A good road, well built, well sur
faced and well drained may be, it is
pointed out, of immense value from a
point of view. In the location
of roads, particularly along the shore,
special attention to military require
ments in the laying out and planning
Of Il highway may prove of inestimable
value at some time in the future when
that highway becomes a military road.
From an economic standpoint it is
that it costs % cents to haul |
a ton a mile on the average country |
road under present conditions, while
under proper conditions the cost would
be but Is cents. While these figures
measure a direct cost, there is an
wen greater indirect cost to consider
