port that Grover Cleveland Pergdoll,
escaped draft cvadcr, and his brother,
Erwin. also wanted for draft evasion,
were captured in the mountains of
Maryland, southeast OF here early this
morning, caused much excitement here
and in Pittsburgh. 1t is reported that
the two brothers are on their way

Summit Hotel, in the mountains east
of here, for room yesterday, accord
ing to the information received. They
stated that they intended to stay until
the automobile races, June 10, but were
informed no room would be available
until to-day. They ate lunch, it is said,
and while in the dining room a rumor
became current about the hotel that
the woman was man in disguise
This was followed by the rumol that
the woman" was Grover Bergdoll.
Soon after this rumor gained circula-
ton the couple disappeared, going over
the mountains toward Maryland
Because Of the mysterious actions of
the couple and the repeated reports Of
the appearance in various places of
"woman" who smoked numerous cigars,
and who WAS believed to he Tho noted
Stacker in disguise, authorities were
notified.
Early to-day persons who had seen
the couple reported that they came
from the mountains with two other
men in the machine. They. went di-
rectly to the Pennsylvania station and
there boarded a train for Pittsburgh,
which connected at Greensburg for

HARDING DEFENDS
ACTION OF SENATE

MARION, Aug. 9O.--(U. P)--The
democrats might as well proclaim the
constitution a fraud as to cry out
against the United States senate play
ing its proper part in the government,
Senator Harding declared yesterday,
warmly defending the senate in
speech to members and former meni-
bers of the Ohio legislature. II would
rather have the counsel of thessenate
than all the political bosses in any
party in America he said. He bold
ly accepted the issue raised by Cox IN
a recent speech that the senate Is try
ing to annex the white house through
the election Of Harding.
The senate. insisted Harding is
security of a stable popular govern
nient and by refusing to- ratify the
league of nations covenant 1t saved
American nationality. ut has been
quite the fashion among unheeding
partisans of the democratic raith to
cry out against the senate and the
part it plays, in the federal govern
mcnt," he said.

Oats--After an easier start in SYM
pathy with other grains, this market
developed independent strength, ac-
companied by active buying on part OF
leading eastern interests. Shipping
sales totalied 100000 bushels, of
which 100000 went to exporters. Cash
premiums were firmly maintained.
The appearance of an active export de-
mand would very quickly change the
trend of this market. but we would
prefer to await more definite indica-
tions of such before taking a position
on the buying side ssa.

and only a small volume of buying was
necessary to bring about the advance.

The present rate of 10 liz cents

more to the cost Of a bushei of wheat

1t is stronger than prisons, stronger
than sedition laws, stronger than de-
portations, for it PREVENTS abuses
of freedom. Prevention is always
better and usually cheaper than try
ing to cure.
Yet last year in the United States
200 school teachers resigned to go
into better paid work. They were
starved out of the most useful work
that men and women can do.
The Financial Chronical says that
1000 rural communities in New York
State have been forced to close their
schools because of lack of teachers.
1t places the shortage at 5000 in that
State alone. In West Virginia more
than 400 schools have been closed for
the same reason.
No such dearth of good teachers as
now exists has been known since our
public school system was founded.
Bear in mind what it means.
Once the home was well equipped to
do the work of the school or to supple
ment it.
That is no longer true
If today the average child is not
well instructed in the school, the
chances are against the home making
good the deficit
Our mode of living tends to cause
US to expect and demand more and
ever more of the school,
But the school is the teacher, not
the building. Overload, underpay the
teacher and the school fails. It's short
comings is at the EXPENSE of the next
generation.
No institution can be expected to
give good service when in one year
l43,0O of its expert workers are, by
penury, crowded out of its ranks.
These figures ought to make every
loyal American think deeply. They
are infinitely more ominous than the
activities of the so-called 'reds" of
which so much is made.
Neglect the public school and in a
few years we shall have a crop of cit
liens who will be easily susceptible
to revolutionary promptings.
Without knowledge successful de-
mocracy is impossible.
The teacher is the true defender of
the Republic.
Work so supremacy important must
be paid an adequate wage. Most
teachers now get less pay than the
motormen or guards operating the
trains that bring many of their schol-
ars to the door of the school building.
Even less than many laborers; these
are not overpaid; the teachers are all
underpaid.
1t is, as some one wittily said.
question whether it is not as impor-
tant to train the mind as it is to mind
the train.
