inadequate pay that teachers IN TINS
State were receiving. l believe tnat
was the first public utterance OF any
public man in regard to this question.
Since then in public and in private
have advocated higher pay for teach-
erS.
I have discussed this matter sew
eral times with the Superintendent OF
Schools. brought it to his attention
again at the special session ana at
the regular session Of the Leglsla-

on which am running for Governor

the result of recognition on the part

extremely complimentary to me TO
have the present administration so
act. OF course the sum of money ap-
propriated is inadequate, but 1t VIII

he has a chance.
The striking shovelers. probably
realized this: they have been accus-
toned to encounter the same spirit
whenever they tried to buy the nee
essities OF life; indeed they may have
read that at the highest price of wool

seems pity we cannot these days
have the corrective influences of a
small community applied, have these
profiteers ticketed and recorded, and
subjected directly to the restraints of
an enlightened public opinion.
But glory be. Along with reports
of striking shovelers comes evidences
of public spirit. Men, women and
children have actually volunteered to
clear the blockade. The world isn't
really as bad as it would sometimes

Sunny Inside

The burdens won't be SO heavy.
The day won't seem SO long.
If you're sunny inside.
Just bear that burden bravely,
And sing a cheerful song:
Just be sunny inside.
Don't try your troubles to rehearse,
Nor strive those grievances to nurse.
But be sunny inside.
Just remember what they say,
"A merrv heart goes all the day"
And be sunny inside.
Worrying won't pay your bills.
Fretting won't allay your ills,
So be sunny inside.
If the days are dark and dreary,
Keep up heart and don't. be weary:
Just be sunny inside.
Life has many care and sorrow;
Do not needless trouble borrow,
But be sunny inside.
Days won't seem SO full of trouble
While your joys will nearly double,
II you're sunny inside.
If you would reach your hearts desire
Would lift the world 4 little higher,
Be sunny inside.
Do your part and leave the rest:
JOY will come and be your guest;
So be sunny inside.
