Member of The Associated Press
THE GOVERNOR is RIGHT

THE attempt to convince Governor
- Sproul that the state cannot afford to
contribute $6,000,000 to the local school
funds for increasing the salaries of teach
ers has failed The Governor has an
nounced with finality that that much
money at least must be raised for the
salsry fund, and that if more can be
found the amount must be increased.
The Governor has evidently decided
that the schools of the state shall no
longer be handicapped by lack of funds.
This is one of the richest states in the
Union. It's wealth is estimated at fifteen
billion dollars. It's school salary schedule
is far below that of less populous and less
prosperous commonwea tbs. The charac
ter of the instruction offered has suffered
because of the inability of the schools to
command the best teaching talent.
When Doctor Finegan was appointed
as superintendent of public instruction,
the Governor gave evidence of his inten-
tion to do his best to lift the school sys-
tenn to a level with the best in the coun-
try. 1t cannot be lifted by the most
expert superintendent in the world if the
money is not provided.
The Governor has had bis way thus far
with the General Assembly because his
way has been right. He is likely to have
his way on this salary-fund matter for
the same reason.

will manifest themselves in Washington.
If he is listened to coldly and indiffer-
emily, the anti-league senators will take
heart of hope and continue their fight
with redoubled vigor. But il his appeals
to the desire of the nation to shoulder
its responsibilities and to do its utmost
to make another great war unlikely shall
receive that response which all those who
have confidence in the manliness of
America. believe it will receive. then
the opposition will dissolve so quickly
that we shall forget that it ever existed.
Borah and johnson and some others
are said to be arranging to swing around
the circle to pit their reasons against
those of the President. This is well. Let
the whole thing be threshed out in the
open on as large a stage as possible, so
that as many people as possible may
know at first hand the kind of quibbrng
logic and the kind of scuttling cowardce
which are at the back of the opposition
to the league project.
The people will decide, and all who
have confidence in them can await the
outcome with complacency.

GETTING RID OF THE JOKERS

T'HE study by George Nox Mccain, spe-
L cial correspondent of this newspaper
of the provisions of the cold-storage bill
and the changes made in it on the demand
of Professor Rasmussen, secretary of
agriculture, force one to the conclusion
that the Governor made no mistake when
he drafted Professor Rasmussen from
the State College into the service of the
state as whole.
The bill as originally introduced per-
mitted all sorts of abuses. There was
nothing in it to prevent the cold-storage
people from selling food unfit for human
consumption. AS modified on the advice
of Doctor Rasmussen, the storage people
are allowed to keep food in their ware
houses for twelve months, but if it is kept
longer it must be destroyed. Chemical
experts have found that food can safely
be preserved under proper temperatures
for year. The present law is not so
generous, for it permits the storage of
beef for four months only, pork, sheep
and lamb for six months, drawn fowl for
five months and undrawn fowl for ten
months, eggs for eight months and but
ter and fish for nine months.
The amended bill is so generous in ex-
tending the limit that the storage men
can have no just cause of complaint on
the ground that they are to be compelled
to sell the goods within year after they
have been stored.
The public is protected by provision
that the refrigerated goods must be prop
erly labeled when offered for sale in the
markets, so that the buyer may know
whether he is getting cold storage meat
and eggs or fresh food. Many meats are
improved by storage, in the opinion of
epicures, but the public which objects to
them should not be fooled into buying
them when they are offered as fresh
killed.
The bill in the form in which it is to
be passed seems to provide adequate pro-
lection for the public and to deprive the
storage people of no privileges to which
they have proper title.

PUTTING 1T UP TO THE PEOPLE

WHETHER the peace treaty with the
w league of-nations covenant in it is to
be ratified or not depends on the senti-
ment of the nation. There is no doubt
about this. The suggestion of some of
the opposition senators that the matter
be submitted to the voters at an election
is a recognition that the people them
selves are the court of final appeal.
But an election is not necessary to dis
cover how the people feel on the subject.
Sentiment is reflected in dozen different
ways. When Charles E. Hughes was
governor of New York he appealed from
the Legislature to the people of the state
time after time. The Legislature tried
TO block his plans. He then toured tho
state making speeches in which he set
forth his case, and set it forth so convnc-
ingly that before he returned to Albany
the recalcitrant legislators were ready to
eat out of his hand. Roosevelt followed
the same course when he was President
and Congress came to terms.
Now President Wilson has let il be
known that soon after his return from
Paris he will visit number of large
cities in different parts of the country
and explain what has been done and why.
s5e viii appeal to the common sense Of
the average man. He will not have to

MY MEMORY hath a secret pack
A'A Wherein store the loveIiest things
And in my heart, not on my back,
My dear and guarded treasure swings.
With every passing year it grows,
And as it grows life fairer CLEANS :;
And lesser weigh my daily woes,
And brighter, rarer shine my dreams.
My memory hath a secret pack; S%

Within it enters nothing black,
But each kind word, each loving smile. !
1t matters not If darkness fall,

For love knows not until it call
What faithful echoes back will come.
My memory hath a secret pack;

And soon of solace I've no lack,
And all my soul with joy is lit
And over land, and over sea, a
