From the Man in the
Hole in the Ground
MeanneSS to Railroads


The railroads Of the United
States abandoned thousand more
miles of road than they built in
the last three years. This period
of going backward in the nation S
rail transportation. of course, COW
ers the period OF the war, but even
b sfore the war the railroads We're
lImping badly from self-inhicted
wounds and from hard blows from
the public. OF all the great
American industries they perhaps
were the only ones that were not
enjoying growing pains.
Now the government has given
the railroads back to their owners
and the time has come for the
owners to make good in service
to the people as we'll as in divi-
dends and interest to the stock
and bondholders.
Time was when railroads were
operated on the principle of charg-
ing all the traffic would bear.
With that and other easy evils the
railroads worked their own undo
ing. They kept at the gouging
process until at last the public,
stung into action, began to regu-
late and regulate, and even was
threatening to regulate the roads
almost ont Of business. The rail
roads had coming to them, there s
little doubt, but the trouble was
that the public was in danger of
acting whole lot meaner with
the railroads than the railroads
had acted with the public.
No doubt the railroads have
learned a lesson from their suffer.
ing from an abused public. If
they have, the public can afford
to play fair. it can afford to con
sent to fair return on the capt
tai needed to rehabilitate the
roads. 1t can afford TO see that
no unfair legislation is worked to
harm the roads, and that they
have every decent opportunity to
go ahead and grow up with the
country We've got to have good
railroads.

Results Wilsonian Policy

The series of railroad strikes
from which the country is now
suffering is the natural outgrowth
and consequence of the attitude
of the administration towards the
four railroad brotherhoods in 1916,
when the country was threatened
with complete tieup of railroad
transportation unless certain wage
demands were granted within
specified time. When the leaders
of the railroad unions submitted
their demands with a threat of
destruction to the country unless
those demands were granted, the
act was little short of treason and
from every viewpoint was defiance
of law and order. The railroad
brotherhoods challenged the sover-
eighty of the government, and the
administration surrendered.
With that example before them
other railroad unions have sought
to enforce their demands by resort
to strike with endless injury to in
dustry and incalcula BILE suffering
to the people of the country if the
strike shall be long continued.
Surrender of the Government
through the enactment of the in
famous Adamson Law is a stand
ing invitation to any and all classes
of workers engaged in essential
industries to resort to any means
that may promote their selfish
ends.
Work and produce is the rem edy
for all the alleged ills-and it's
mighty good Republican doctrine.
The desperate attempt of the
Democratic leaders TO find some
man who is ready to be the candi-
date OF that party for governor
has SO far been but failure. AS
matter of fact the present Re-
publican administration has proven
so efficient. so capable and SO fair
that the people generally are ready
to forget politics and continue it
another two years. Probably new
er in the history of the state has
Colorado had a more popular chief
executive than Governor Shoup,
and certainly never one who has
given a better administration.
The people feel that in getting
back to normal conditions, in
lighting properly the radical ele-
ments and in giving to the people
a fair deal, it would be leaping in
the dark to make change at this
| time.

A CERTAIN man in New York filed out his
n income tax report
1t showed an income so large that his tax was

Think of it-thousands spent for luxures and
pleasure for himself; and $l48 to leave the world

Most of us do better than that; but not very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is
less than spend daily papers
less than a local telephone call
less than third of the days fare
Jess than cents day
No wonder that 8O% of the ministers of America
are paid less than $40 week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands ofsick
people a year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 100000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is

pa ofession but procersion, referr-
ing TO the new salary schedule, Mr..
Noble said that the minimum for ele
IaeuIary teachers will be from $500
10 $3.50, but The counties have a
light 10 pay mere than this if they
wish, and many of the counties will
10 so. In Baltimore county, where
the per capita wealth is greater than
IN Dorchester, The proposed salary
schedule is from $11OO 10 $500.
In Dorchester the average wealth
behind each school child Is $4,000.
The average for Maryland is $1,000.
In the United states the average
varies from $4,000 in South Caro-
lima and Mississippi TO $4,000, in
California and $4,000 in Nevada.
Consequently California and Nevada
can pay more with less effort than
Dorchester or South Carolina.
The new minimum will raise the
school tax rate ten to fifteen cents
! TO pay DOrchester's share, the State
bearing a half the expense.
Mr.. Noble spoke OF the condition

county and the failure of practically

we can afford such an issue is a
pertinent one, but the question also
arises; Can We afford not to have it?

the point is that no one can say

feel that an additional $500 would
greatly embarrass him.
Teachers salaries Mr.. Noble said,
are no to be 80 per cent higher than
before the war, and the proposed
schedule will raise them 25 to 80
per cent more but, as the cost of liv-
ing has advanced 100 per cent, their
additional income will not have kept

Dorchester Schools
Their Need Fully And Ably Discuss
ed By Superintendent James Il.
Noble.

In an address delivered before the
Mems Club of Christ p +. Church
at the Parish House Thursday even
ing of last week, County Superin-
tendent James B. Noble gave many
pertinent facts in regards 10 the
needs of the public schools in the
county State and Nation. He spoke
at some length also of the school
legislation proposed for adoption at
the present session of the LegiSlat-
on the tax rate.
Mr.. Noble said that the ills al
fecting the schools of this county
are common to the schools the
county over. When the war began
the salaries of elementary teachers
were slightly over $3.50.
The Government and individuals
began to call for clerical assistance
end teachers from all parts of the
state left the profession, most OF
them going to Washington where
they began work at a minimum sal
airy of $1,100. Thirty teachers or
20 per cent of the number employed
left this county, but from counties
like Prince George and Montgomery
there went about SO per cent or
these very few have returned TO the
profession of teaching, only two, for
instance, having returned to Dor
chester, and one of the latter has
signified her intention of returning
to the service of the government un-
less salaries are raised.
The result of this desertion of the
ranks of the teaching profession Is
that in 1919 there were $4,000 va
cancies in the public schools of the
United States and $4,000 teachers
whose qualifications were below the
standard.
According to the leading educators
OF this and other counties, the mini
mum educational requirements for
public school teacher should be a
High School education plus two years
profession training, but of the $780,
600 public school teachers in the
United States only 10000 or rs pei
cent reached this standard. III
Chilli on the other hand, 40 per GEM
of the total number have attained
this minimum, in England the num-
Ter is so per cent and in Norway
and Denmark The percentage is stIII
higher. Of the 100000 some 800
COO, or SO per cent, have not even
been graduates from a High School,
and this means that one-fourth the
future citizens of this country are be-
ing taught by teachers who have a
High School education, a statement
which according to Dr.. Strayer, of
Columbia University, can not be
made of any other civilized country.
OF the 100000 teachers Mr.. Noble
said 100000 are twenty-four or less
than twenty-four years oid while
10000 have not attained their ma
Jority. This means that one-fourth
the pupils of America are being in
structed by teachers who are re-
latively immature.
Speaking of the experience of
those in the profession, Mr.. Noble
quoted the leading educators of the
country as saying that to do their
best work teachers should have at
least four years experience. In the
United States half the teachers have
taught four years or less, and one-1
fourth have taught two years or
less fact that goes far to JUSTLY

The Birth OF A Race

The Birth of a Race at the Grand

League of Nations the long sought
IDEAL of world brotherhood toward

the picture contains a charming

 Mir. Baker scouted the idea that ffyhlh3tier Was one reason why i'm migrants was not gaining more rap idly. He said the foreigners were coming in at about one-thlrd the rate of the year immediately pre- ceCding the European war. The prin- eVal reason why more were not com ing was that the men are urgently needed in their own countries, some of which. notably Poland. are sup porting huge armies which use up a large part of their man power. with G,c result that those who are free to Go civilian work command wages comparable to those paid in this country.

This is Poland whose nationals besiege the Polish consul ate daily in great numbers seeking passports About 5000 of these passports were issued last month and nearly as many in each of the months preceding since the first of the year. They are going back, it is generally believed because of home sickness and anxiety over the wei fare of relative sin the war zones.
