THE FRANCHISE

The moral obligations resting upon
the individual with respect to the
franchise warrant repetition Of the
importance of the political rights OF
the voter. The man who sells his
vote is selling his civil liberty for a
mess of pottage. Selling the vote
does not always involve an exchange
Of money or other valuables. but in
cludes those men who are willing to
let others do their political thinking
for them.
Every voter should study the social
ends that ought to be realized by the
vote, think for himself, and make his
ballot express his conscience upon
the matters under consideration.
The time may come when the
franchise will be denied to all who
cannot measure up TO a reasonable
intelligence standard. 1t is funda-
mental faith of our democracy that
every citizen is on an equality with
every other before the law. So they
are. An intelligent vote will do more
to safeguard the rights and liberties
of the individual than the hit-or-miss
vote of unthinking illiterates. or the
vote controlled by the political boss.

GOOD WAGES FOR TEACHERS

The practice of underpaying teach
ers, so long INDUCED in throughout
the country, is beginning to show its
effect. The United States is short
10000 teachers today and $4,000 OF
those employed have insufficient edu-
cation to hold the places they have.
Teachers, like preachers, and in some
cases farmers, have been receiving lit
tie more than paupers' pay in COM
parison to what people in other kinds
of work are paid and considering
what they have to put into preparing
for the positions they hold.
But, unlike ministers and many far
mers, they have organized and are de-
manding more wages. Even at that,
the wage bucket was at the bottom
OF the well and has only started up to
what it should be- The ages of the
teachers are still pitifully small COM
pared to their expenses.
Teachers have had but one alterna-
tive and that was to quit the school
room for some other position. A shor-
tage in the profession is the result.
The school boards have in many in
stances grown desperate and bid for
teachers at increased wages. This
has caused several instructors in
small colleges to go to larger ones. 1t
has caused the man who has been a
success in the small town to accept
a place at better pay in the larger
town or city and it has caused the
successful country teacher to go to
some new field.
. The general trend of the teacher
shortage is to demoralize. 1t has al
ways been held that the schools are
the bulwark of the country and that
the teachers are the artists who take
the clay in the form Of children and
mold citizens out Of it. When a good
teacher leaves a community or
school one of its best assets is gone
A leader is lost who is of inestima-
BILE value.
Teachers cannot be made over
night and they cannot be picked up
any day that the wage conditions
cause the profession to be attractive.
Few Of those who once leave the field
ever return to it and it takes years
to make crop of teachers. As long
as the pay for the profession is such
that one can make a bare living, few
people will prepare themselves for it |
and the shortage will grow no better. |
A good wage should be Offered to the |
teachers now and in few years there |
will be enough to supply the demand.
The demand should be supplied before
more damage is done.

1t Is too much to expect that all
Democrats shall be individually har-
monious. There are as many or more
conflicting clements in the Republican
party than there are in the Democratic
party. The Republicans are composing
their differences by granting everyone
the right to hold any opinion regarding
the Republican platform and the Re-
publican candidate, and ask only that
the nominee shall be supported.
An element in the Democratic party
is persistently endeavoring to distort
the statements of Gov. Cox into a re-

Gov. Cox. A man who makes the fight

The Republicans are using the action
OF the national convention in refusing
Senator Reed a seat to irritate his
Democratic friends in Missouri. They
will use the result in Mississippi, in
which one friend OF Senator Vardaman
was nominated and another defeated,
to accentuate the differences in the
Democratic party. They will point to
the Georgia result as another example.
II President Wilson were a candidate
for re-election, the Endorsement of his
administration would be the paramount
issue as 1t was in 1915. Since he Is
not candidate Democrats should be
content with the tribute paid TO him
by the national convention and leave
his vindication to the future. as time
alone will enter the final Judgment.
Democrats OF all elements and fac

He deserves and is entitled to receive
the whole hearted and enthusiastic sup
port of every Democrat regardless OF
the differences that have troubled the

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
o>~~~e
MARRYING MOTHER.
BY DOROTHY DIX a.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
Copyright, 1920, by The Wheeler Syndicate inc,

The young man was raving to me
about the charms and graces Of his
fiancee.
She seems a miracle Of perfection, "
/ said, but what sort of mother has
she got?''
oh" he replied airily her mother
is about everything l object to in the
female sex, but then, you see, l am
marrying the girl. am not marrying
the mother"
"Ah," / said, sadly. there's where
you are making a fatal blunder, SON.
You are not only marrying the girls
mother, but you are marrying her
mother, and her mothers mother, and
her mother, and all of her female an
cestors all the way back to Eve.
And ] am not talking about heredity,
either, though the cali of the blood
seems stronger in women than 1t does
in men. l am talking about the en-
vironment in which a girl is reared, and
which mouds her character into the
form of whatever ideals and principles
her mother cherished.
For the mother makes the home, and
all the plastic years of her life, the
little girl is shut uD within the en-
fines of the home. Her mother is her
oracle and what her mother teaches her
by word of mouth and example is in
grained into every fiber OF her being
A mother and daughter are far more
intimate than father and son ever are
A mother influences her daughter far
more than a father influences a son.
In every family there are certain ira
ditions and precepts that are handed
down from mother to daughter through
generations, and these form the code of
the women Of that family--a code whose
laws are as unbreakable as the law of
the Modes and the Persians.
Home and early influences put no
such indelible stamp upon a boy as
they do upon a girl. You often see a
man who is no more like his family than
IL he had not drop of their blood in
his veins, and who thinks and acts
entirely differently from his father but
a girl nearly always runs true to form.
What her mother IL, she becomes: what
her mother made her she stays.
Therefore, son, give mother the once
over very carefully before you propose
to mothers daughter. Also cast an
appraising eye on mothers husband. For
as mother is. the girl will be, and as
mothers husband is, so will be your
fate unless some miracle happens.
Maud may be all that your fondest
fancy Graves. She may be pretty, and
dainty and sweet and appear so anna
Bile that the proverbial butter would not
melt in her mouth. But all the same,
