 We cannot censor the teachers for leaving the noble profession of teaching, but every man and woman with children in the schools should use their influence with town off, cials and school committees to the end that sufficient wages are offered to ensure an efficient teaching force m the local schools.

level headed. Geniuses are never level headed. He is, however, bet ter than a genius for an administra- tive job, because he is a practical man of common sense~
 So far Senator Harding, has not startled the world by anything he has done or said in the United States senate. He has made a fine record in that body as a sound, safe man, who thinks well, talks we'll and has the courage of his convictions. As a matter of fact, Senator Hard ing has taken quite as conspicuous place in the United States senate as any man we'll can take in his first term in that body. The Senator who projects himself into the fore ground and essays to be a leader and a maker of public opinion in his first term, as a rule talks to empty benches and strews stumbling blocks in his own path.
 An examination of Senator Hard ing's work in committee and on the floor and an examination of his speeches and general bearing as a first term Senator show admirably ;n his favor Senator Harding is the first United States senator in all our history to receive the nomina- tion for president. It is clear that he could never have had the indorse- ment of his fellow senators for the great office of president if he were not equal to the job.
 As sound, clean, human man, Senator Harding, like Mckinley, looms large. We could welcome such a man in the White House again. With Harding as president that historic mansion would open wide it's doors, let in the sunlight and bid welcome to the world.
 What have said here of Senator Harding is but the opinion and de- ductions of one man, myself. Some of you may have better deductions, a better opinion. As to this, l have 10 intention or desire to argue the point. Seeing him as 1 now see him, am entirely satisfied with Senator Harding as the Republican nominee. shall work wholeheartedly for his election and the election of his run ! ring-mate, Governor Coolidge, and my newspapers will work whole heartedly for his election and the election of his running-mate, Cover ! nor Coolidge. If elected, Warren 1 G. Harding will give us, l am conf dent, thoroughly safe, sane, eff cient administration, a wholesome, i cordial common-sense administra- tion, clean-cut busness administra- tion, an administration that will command the best brains of the country, an administration with it's feet squarely placed on the ground
 We have had seven years of hit ting the sky. We have had enough for the present.

The Sun on Harding

Frank A. Munsey, publisher and owner of the Sun and New York Herald, has this to say of Senator Harding, the Republican candidate fer president:
 This is trying moment for some of you who had confidently expect ed to see your faVorite, among the long list of candidates, carry off the prize at the Chicago convention. With your heart fixed on his getting the nomination, it is only human that you should be disappointed, bitterly disappointed, perhaps, that some other man was selected as the standard bearer of the party instead of your man. In the hour of so keen a disappointment it is not pos sible for you to form a just and fair estimate of the genuine worth of the triumphant candidate.
 l wonder if in this situation I can help you in visualizing Senator Harding? First, let me say that the Republican nominee neither is personal friend of mine nor was favorite of mine for the nomination. I am in a position, therefore, to speak without prejudice for or against him. Briefly, I like Senator Harding, like him very much, and am exceedingly happy that the Re publican party selected him as its candidate for the presidency. He is not the only man of the group of aspirants for the nomination that has in him first rate presidential tim Der. There were half a dozen of them, perhaps more, who are inner ently well-ftted for the job.
 Frankly, if I had permitted my self and newspapers to have can didate it would not have been Sena- tor Harding, not that I had any thing against him, but rather be- cause 1 had never looked very close ly into his qualifications He has always been and still is a modest, Gignified man who has never em- ployed press agents to megaphone lis doings from one end of the land 10 the other. Newspaper man that he is, he should, perhaps, have shown greater appreciation of the value of publicity.
 Be this as it may, it is clear that the picture I had of Senator Hard ing a week ago is not the picture of hlm, now that 1 have come to know 1 him better.
 Following him all the way up from the farm, through childhood, young manhood; seeing him as a printer at the case after he had finished his education; seeing him as the venturesome young editor-owner of a small country newspaper-dar- ing to put himself to the test in one Of the most difficult of all fields of endeavor and winning success; sec ing that small country newspaper grow under his wise and vigorous handling into prosperous and in- f1uential journal that has made him financially independent; seeing him as a senator in the legislature of l Ohio; seeing him as lieutenant governor of his state and then as United States senator from Ohio, and now as the candidate of the Republican party for the presidency the highest honor a party can bestow on a man-all this spells something, means something. Men do not pick up records of this sort in the street. They do not come by accident. There is merit in the man who achieves as Senator Harding has achieved.
 Senator Harding is not genius. If he were a genius he wouldn't be

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Pumping Perverted Publicity.

The worlds greatest power
is publicity. D'Annunzio's
whirlwind publicity pushed
Italy into the red current.
At Caporetta publicity split
the Italian lines wide open,
cost the Allies half million
men and twenty-five hundred
cannon. Six weeks later
American and British public
ity closed the breach and
saved Italy Publicity-col-
cred a deep Prussian blue
thru Bolo Pasha's "we-are-
beaten" campaign almost re-
moved France from the war
late in 1916; German publicity
overthrew the Russian gov
ernment, drove Kerensky
from power and led to Rrest-
Lltovsk. And American pub
llc1ty broke down the morale
of the German troops, broug ht
about the biggest military
and moral collapse in history.
The clash of artillery and
infantry may decide the act
ual fate of battle, but public
1ty decides whether the arm
les shall fight or stay at home.
Plain, common, ordinary
citizens with one vote apiece
it is no longer safe TO lump
the family ballot-and no pull
at all in Washington, the
state legislature or the city
council, have become mighty
important factors of lateyears.
Ordinary people can't do
much about these things, but
they can think What they
think and say collectively is
of supreme importance to
almost every nation in the
world. They all want some
thing and need Mr.. Wilson's
help to get it. Mr.. Wilson
won't help them unless he
feels it's right and they are
with him. So a score of for
elgn publicity organizations
are working three shifts and
overtime pumping coloring
matter of their particular
nationalistic hue into the
stream Of information from
which people dip the facts
upon which their opinions are
based.
Financial organs and many

opposed to govel nment owner
ship are pumping publicity
Of particular hue. In the
cities, great dailies are pump
ing mental opinions calcu-
lated to influence people
against open shop and organ
lied labor. They are all ham
mer1ng the prohteers because
it's not only popular and right,
but it serves to keep the peo-
pie in the dark while they
recommend some of the profit
GERS friends as a suitable
person for food commissioner.
Instead of going after the
real culprits, Mr.. Commis-
sioner seeks out a few Mexi-
can wood venders who dared
to follow the profteers rule;
they are arrested and fined
for selling wood at SIS a cord.
Somebody has to be the goat
to make the public believe
that the law is being enforced.
"Big business" has been
so hagrantly careless and
coarse of late IN his poisoned
publicity work that the com
mon people are also adopting
the same tactics. Every labor
organization now has it's own
publicity organ. Anarchy is
the kind of coloring publicity
sentiment prompted into the
foreigners who come here and
learn to read "Red' and bo'-
shevic literature. They can't
openly print their doctrines,
but they find ways and means
by pamphlets, and correspon-
-dence known as the 'endless
chain method = which is
passed along. So what the
owned and controlled city
press has adopted as a ma
chine method for fooling and
hoodwinking the public has
become the dangerous. tool
which is now destroying its
own influence Yellow Jour
nalism langu1shes, because
like Rome, it eventually de-
stroys itself.

to be used at the election next Tues
day. Stripped of it's legal phraseol-

sue stands as follows: If you are for
strict prohibition and it's enforcement
as defined in the Vostead Act, now
an amendment to the constitution,
vote yes. If you favor modification Of
the law vote no. Voting yes will keep
the alcoholic content of beer at one
half of one per cent. A no vote, if
the Volstead Act should be repealed,
would give the state of Wisconsin
the privilege of determining the ~
coholic content, but there is fietIe
likelihood tht the act will be repealed.
