He won't go to Oklahoma City a

friends, filed him and are conducting his
campaign because

School Is Called Place
To Combat Bolsheyism
Higher Pay for Teachers Ad-
vanced as Only Means to Get
Competent Instruction

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The foreign agitator out of
sympathy with our form of democracy
can be trapped and disposed of by the
agents of justice. The crux of our
difficulty lies in this question, How are
the people to be informed SO that they
will stand united,e "a bulwark to our ma
tional institutions?
The solution lies In our system of
public schools, instituted primarily for
the purpose of disseminating knowl-
edge among all classes of American
youth. The seed of patriotism planted
in the soul of Young America will yield
an abundant harvest in good citizen
ship. Then, what mighty influence
our teachers WELD!
The teaching profession should be
made attractive to men and women of
large ability and sterling character An
investment in youth is practical econ
omy. Let the standard of paw be
raised! PAUL r. RUSSELL.

Defends Right of Women
To Hold Public Offices
Fair Deal for Newly Enfran-
chised Element Advocated
in interests of Justice

To the Editor of The Tribune
SIR Sex is no more matter of party
or for party consideration than is anv
other fundamental principle or quality
of life. We have been long in opening
our eyes to this fact and there is no
sepblance Of excuse for closing them
again. Woman, in most forward-look-
ing nations, having pretty generally
received the ballot, should be looked
upon and treated, from political
standpoint exactly as the voters of the
other sex.
If we permit women lawy ers, why not
women jurors? If women doctors
why not women health officers or COM
missioners? In any event, the franchise
having been granted, what right have
we to withhold any part either Of the
rights or the obligations that accom-
pany it? The party that follows this
course most consistently would seem
to me to be adopting both the higher
and the more logical ground than the
one that attempts, in any way, to evade
the issue. w. P. GILMOUR.

Planks are usually conceived as be-

issues prominently before the public
eye. However, in the coming campaign
the Republican party should hark back
carnate the rallying slogan of its great
leader, who, during the darkest hours
of rebellion and civil strife, uttered
that maximum of governmental truth:
"a nation divided against itself cannot
stand"
To-day, no less than in the days Of
Lincoln, the unity and integrity Of
this republic are menaced by foes, in
ternal and external. Some Of these
enemies are ignorantly sincere; others
are paid propagandists or acknowledge
their allegiance to other flags than
ours.
both propitious and wise if the Re-
publican party would make its chief
plank deal with Americanism. Such
plank would be in keeping with its
policy during those other crises Of our
national history.
"America for Americans!" should be
its slogan. This does not mean that
legislation should be passed or steps
taken inimical to foreigners or to for
eign immigration. Il means simply
that our policy toward foreign coun
tries, un-American agitators, and the
Bolshevist and anarchist clements in
our midst will not be the spineless,
wavering and Inconsistent policy of the
present Administration.
Instead of that blundering and aca-
demc Wilsonian suavity, let us substi-
tute a fearless, straight and strong
policy of Americanism of the Roose-
veltian type-which will call for the
support of all loyal citizens.

Why Teeth Discolor

That film is what discolors mot the
teeth. 1t is the basis of tartar. It holds
food substance which ferments and forms
acid. 1t holds the acid in contact with
the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. Thev.

rhea. All these troubles are constantly
increasing, despite the wide use of the
tooth brush And the reason les in that
clinging film, and brushing leaves much
of it intact

urge periodic dental cleaning to remove

cannot get along without politics.
And right now, when there Is such
a large element that seems to be OPP
posed to all law and Is inclined to
belittle all forms of government, tho
best method Of preventing the spread
Of discomfort and distrust Is to put
into the minds Of the electorate a
firm faith in the politicians and the
parties that support them.
If the Republican party will stake
its reputation upon the integrity and
ability of every one of its nominees,
and will say 80 in its platform; II it
is willing for the individual voter to
consider nomination in the party
as personal recommendation, it
will be- serving not only the interests
of RepubicaDsm, but Of the entire
nation.
We need moro faith in our public
officers; we need to believe that they
are honest and intelligent and in
dustrious; we need to think Of poll
tics as a method of service rather
than soft opportunity to make
living; we need to build up around
the field of politics an atm osphere
that attracts clean-cut men. rather
than discourages them. And the first
party to say this will be helping the
other parties, which in itself may be
a new thing in politics.

Local Option Legislation

The Eighteenth Amendment to the
Constitution was recommended by
Congress and adopted by the states
without due reflection or the oppor-
tunity for millions in the military
service to express an opinion there
on. The Republican party pledges
itself, therefore, to introduce a new
amendment to the Constitution. re-
on the grounds that Federal regula-
tion of liquor interferes with the
personal rfghts of the community,
with the police power of the states
and that the subject can be ade-

lation.-John Kane Mills.

poll great many more votes than it
ever has if it would go on record as
favoring q thorough Investigation of
our inefficient postal service
Mail is constantly being missent, and
there is not day in the year when
important mail is not lost. This can
not be entirely avoided, but there is
no excuse for so much of it.
In Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile
Cuba and many other countries they
have free postal service to newspapers
and magazines. If the United States
would follow in their lead We would
have the finest press in the world.

Sir: congress Of labor should be

Possibly a system of economic juris-

= Editor Of tho Tribune.

To the Editor Of tho Tribune.
Sir: During the next few months,
when politics will be widely dis
cussed throughout the nation, some
one of the great parties will have
an opportunity to impress vital
truth upon the mind Of tho Ameri-
.can public.
The truth Is that tho profession
of politics is an honorable and USE
full one in public affairs.
EVERYWHERE one hears that It 1s
impossible to stay In politics and re-
main honest. We have connected the
politician with greed and graft and
the corner saloon until an honest
man Is ashamed to admit that he
dabbles in politics.
In the classroom we teach that the
public officer is merely the tool of
party machine, and in the shop we
simply take for granted that the
office seeker is selfish in his desires,
or at least is actuatcd by no high
ideals.
These charges are hurled at each
other by opposing candidates, with
the Socialists and kindred organiza-
tions standing on the sidelines and
agreeing with both. Even the poll
tician snecrs at thu politician.
Now, all of this is serious, because
while the government can get along

PILOTS AND OBSERVERS

Thousands of Americans who serv-

the army and navy durlngJ the war
will journey to Chicago September
IL, to see the elimination race for
the international balloon race to be
started from that city on October %.
The race will be held from the
White City, Chicago because of in
ability to obtain gas for imitation of
the balloons at Indianapolis. Accord
ing to an announcement of the aero
club of America, fifteen entries have
been received; including such we'll
known pilots as Ralph H. Epson
aeronautical engineer of the Good

Rason of Brookville, Ohio.
Epson, holder of the Gordon-Be
nett trophy, for which the interna-
tional race will be run, won the
right to defend Americas honor next
October by winning from large
field, the last international contest
in 1913 by flight of 400 miles from
Paris to Bridlington, England. r.
A. D. Preston was his aide.
The war prevented all internation-
ais scheduled since 1913, but the
race will arouse great interest be-
cause of the added impetus given
aeronautics by the conflict.
Regardless of in what position he
finished in the elimination race, Up
son will captain the American team
that will compete against three en-
tries from Italy and France, and one
each from Great Britain and Bel

national race in 1919 by a fight of
1920 miles from St. Louis to Durham,

In Epson, A. Leo Stevens and H. f.

three pilots Of international reputa-
tion and experience, so that the out
look is bright that the Gordon Ben

try and that the next international
contest will be\staged in America.
