Nearly everybody who could crowd in went to the movies" yesterday, the first day the shows have been open since the health board last week closed places where large crowds assemble. The movies" have come to be necessary part of national life. They can be used for good or evil; for constructive or destructive work; for education or for defilement. Some schools have installed moving picture machines, and the time is not far distant when instruction in many subjects will be given thru use of the movie" machine.

TEACHERS PAY.

"Texas Rotarians Favor Higher
 Pay for School Teachers" reads a
 headline in yesterdays issue of the
 Graphic over an Associated Press
 dispatch from Galveston telling of action taken by the Rotary district conference there urging better pay
 for teachers. It isn't only Texas
 Rotarians, but Arkansas Rotarians and all Rotarians-as well as peo- pie with the Rotary spirit not mem- bers of Rotary clubs-who favor better pay for teachers. The meagre pay the public. gives the instructors of children is so disgraceful that all of us should be ashamed. And we shouldn't be content until we increase the wages of teachers. We pay man $6 day for doing man. ual work requiring little skill and no inspiration; we pay $200 or more a month to men to teach us how to raise more and better pigs. But to those who form the characters of our children, and equip them to com bat with life we pay just as little as we can. Isn't your child as val uable as building or a pig? Sure, he is. And a bit more. Then, be fair, and insist that teachers re- ceive more pay. Not as much as they are worth-because the value of a good teacher cannot be rewadd- ed in money-but enough to enable them to live comfortably

johnson Assails League
In Second N. Y. Speech

TROY, N. Y, March 27-Appearing
before an audience of 1000 persons
here tonight Senator Hiram w. John
son, of California, delivered his sec
ond night speech in New York State.
Covering much of the same ground as
in his Buffalo speech on Friday, the
Senator continued his attack on the
league of nations, during which he en-
phaszed the necessity Of the United
States having equal voting power in
any such combination.
After explaining how difficult it had
been to obtain accurate information
relative to the peace treaty or to the
league of nations from the President
Senator Johnson referred to speech
which he said he had come upon by
accident. Speaking at the peace confer
ence, he declared, President Wilson in
referring to dispute between Rumania
and Serbia over their boundary lines
had said that the United States would
guarantee to protect these nations even
to Sending its army and fleet across
the ocean,"
Senator johnson then declared he
would not sacrifice single drop of
ANGLICAN blood in a dispute between
Rumania and Serbia which does not
concern US at all.
Senator johnson is scheduled to
speak at Cooper Union, New York,
Monday night, and he said that his
speech there would be along an entirely
new line.

McAdoo Not a Candidate:
Would Take Nomination

William G. McAdoo, former Secre-
tary of the Treasury, replying yester-
day to letter from the International
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers an
nouncing that body had indorsed him
for the Democratic nomination for
President, says he is not candidate.
but that he should regard it as an
imperative duty of good citizenship to
accept the nomination if It CAME to
him unsolicited. Mr.. McAdoo saws:
1.-THE square deal which the wage
Garner OF America wants, if l under
stand him Alright, is not charity, nor is
live by bread only The square deal
the wage Garner seeks is not special
advantages for workingmen only, but
sufficient return to maintain himself
and his family in comfort and give
them the advantages which every
decent American wants in the way Of
education, moral training and equal op-
portunity He seeks also sufficient
participation in the fruits Of his indus
try to enable him, by thrift and good
management, to lay aside competence
against misfortune and old age. No
fair-mnded man can complain of this
just ambition. The wage Garner wants
justice-justice to ALTO the capitalist
as we'll as to the toiler.
"The Democratic party for the past
seven years has proven by it's record
that it believes in square deal for
labor, as we'll as for every element
Of society. The Republican party has
had complete control Of the legislative
branch of the government for the past
year. 1t has done nothing of construc-
tive value; on the contrary, it has de-
feated the peace treaty and stands to-
day for the revival of armed force and
militarism in the settlement Of dis
putes between nations instead of for q
league of nations, which, by the peace
ful methods of counsel and arbitration,
will make human slaughter unneces,
sary in the settlement of international
differences. Every decent instinct of
humanity revolts against return to
such brutal policy"

Cooper Proctor, national campaign
manager for General Wood, returned
to-day from Chicago and at once went
into conference with the Cincinnati
manager Of the Wood Presidential
candidacy. Mr.. Proctor was emphatic
in regard to expenditures of money by
the Wood committee, declaring that
every cent used was spent openly and
legitimately for presentation of the
merits of their candidate.
AS to the statements in the United
States Senate Friday by Senator Borah
regarding large expenditures, Mr.
Proctor said:
owe resent any statement or imputa-
ton of illegal or corrupt expenditure

manager for General Wood in Hamilton
County, following a conference with
Colonel Proctor, said:
'"I know nothing about the $4,000
or any sum having been placed in a

never received cent from the national
Wood campaign committee. and is not
expecting any"

Wood Asserts
Favors Secretary of. Agri-
culture Who Is Practical
Granger, Not a Theorist
on Needs of Rural Life
Encourages Land Owning
Would Lessen Living Cost
by Stopping Manipula-
ton of Food Products

General Leonard Wood, in letter to
N. j. Bachelor, of East Andover, N. H..
former Governor Of New Hampshire
and former master of the National
Grange, says that the Secretary of Ag-
riculture should be a practical farmer
and not theorist. He urges improved
living, educational and social conditions
in the country, and declares that large
holdings of farm property for specula-
tive purposes should be made as diff
cult as possible. He believes that a
move to lessen the cost Of distribution
of food products should be made at
once. His letter follows:
"1t gives me great pleasure to avail
myself Of the opportunity afforded by
your letter just received to express my
opinion of the American farmer and
his problems.
Tribute to Farmers in War
"There can be nothing but COM
mendation for the farmer Of the United
States in the mind of any thinking
American as he reviews the circum-
the results they accomplished during
the war period They saw their sons
by millions leave the field and join the
army. They faced and overcame short
age and high prices, and in spite of all
this, and by sheer increased effort,
wherein women and even little children
participated, they not only maintained
the steady flow of foodstutfs and other
farm products, but they increased this
flow to point unheard of in American
history. Had this not been done it
country to have sent it's army to the
front, nor for other nations to have
maintained either their armies in the
field or their people at home until the
victorious end.
"Farming must be as remunerative
as other occupations which require the
same capital, training and work. Those
departments of the government which
have to do with broad and comprehen-
sive policies must take this into full
account in their every relationship.
Boys and girls on the farms are
entitled to educational facilities suited
of any other citizens. Farming and
farmers must be financially equal to
the task of bearing their share of the
responsibility and the cost Of such
educational facilities. We must see
that there is no difference in the
standards between schools in city, viii
lagc or country. Men and women ON
the farms are entitled to government
service suited to their needs, and equal
to the government service received by
citizens residing in any other environ
mcnt.
For Practical Farmer in Cabinet
"The direct representative of agri-
culture in the Administration-the
Secretary of Agriculture-sh should be a
practical farmer and not theorist. In
no line of human endeavor is theory
without practical experience more use
less and more harmful, less productive
of confidence or Of results than in the
work Of farming.
"The broad generality is, of course,
true that the cost of distribution which
separates producer and consumer is
large and that steps should be taken
as rapidly as ways may be devised to

Convention Must
Decide Status of
Minnesota Votes
Wood i'm Lead as Presiden-
tial Preference; Claims
Conflict, as Count Of Bal
lots Never Was Completed

ST. PAUL, Mimi. March 27.-Only
the decision of the Republican Nation
al Convention at Chicago in June will
settle definitely the conflicting claims
of Johnson, Wood and Lowden factions
of the party as to the significance of
the one-hour Presidential preference
vote in Minnesota Monday, March Is.
Tabulations of the vote by the State
Central Committee ceased when the
county conventions stations started
March II, because the election of dele
gates to these conventions was the real
object of the primary and control of
them by one faction or the other large
ly determined the complexion of the
resulting district and state gatherings.
These in turn chose the men to repre-
sent the state in the big national as
sembly of the party.
The Presidential preference vote
when tabulation ceased stood: Wood,
1887; Johnson, 8,517; Hoover, 4,486;
Lowden, $3.50.
That day the county conventions met
and of the eighty-six gatherings fifty
two sent uninstructed delegations to
the district conventions. OF the others
twenty-seven were instructed for
Wood, five for Lowden and two for
johnson.
Inc ten olStrlct conVeptlonS met
March 10. The Wood forces controlled
half of them, and thus ten delegates
instructed for him were sent to the ma
tional convention. Four districts chose
uninstructed delegations, and in the
other there was split, part Of the
delegates selecting two Wood men and
the others pair of uninstructed rep
resentatives.
The next day the state convention of
the party picked four delegates-at-
large and left them uninstructed. On
paper, therefore. the Minnesota dele
cation stood to-day as follows: Unin-
structed, IL; Wood, 10; contested, 2.
What portion of the preference vote
remained uncounted when tabulation
closed cannot be determined. The Sec
retary of States Office explained to-day
that the preference vote was not Off

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The re-
port that Henry Morgenthau will not
be acceptable to the Mexican govern

credited to-day at the State Depart

no intimation had been received by
this government that Mr.. Morgenthau
had any connection with the Associa-
tion for the Protection of American
Rights in Mexico and that no official
communication in regard to the new

The practice of this government has
been to ascertain from the govern
ment to which diplomat is to be
credited if he is acceptable before the
nomination is made by the President
1t was said this policy was not deviated
from in the case of Mr.. Morgenthau.
