Pertinent Reasons Why You Should
 Vote For Linwood s. Pratt

With full knowledge of the needs of the larger educational institu- tions of the state, Linwood S. Pratt believes the rural schools are ur- gently in need of better supervision and better conditions. He sets forth his aims for their betterment in the following brief, concise form:
 "l want chance to help in the uplift and beterment of the rural schools.
 "To get that chance, I have be- come candidate for state super- intendent of public instruction.
 "1 want every republican who sees this notice, to vote for my nomination in the primary, Sept. 7th. q want every Republican who cares anything aboutthe schools of this state, to get every possible vote for me in the primary Sept. 7th. q have taught school twenty years and practiced law ten years. "l have successfully built up three school systems. "My preparatory education was obtained in high school, two normal schools and Harvard University. ! "l man expert in rural schools. | q am an expert in chil dpsychol- ogy and in child development. ~
 "Give me a chance to build up the rural schools of Arizona.
 "The rural schools need about twice as much money as they are getting.
 "The rural schools need about twice as good teachers as they have been getting.
 I Tf am elected state superin- tendent, I will give the rural school many times the attention that the rural schools in this state have ever received.
 There are about 400 rural schools in Arizona.
 There are about 5000 pupils in the rural schools of Arizona.
 "These schools and these pupils are not receiving, and never have received, anything adequate in the way of educational facilities. q repeat here the first of the three principles upon which is founded the Arizona League of Class Room Teachers, which I or ganized in February this year: l "Every child in Arizona is en- titled to as good an education as every other child in Arizona, re- gardless of the social position of his parents, or the place of his par ents' domicile.' "If you care anything for the schools, vote for me in the primary.
 "If you care anything for the schools, get other republicans to vote for me in the primary. !
 eff l am elected school superin- tendent, I will do more for the rural schools than ever has been done in this state before, by any one.
 HAYWOOD s. PRATT, Candidate for the Republican Nomination for State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction"

| Case.

Justice Siddons OF the District Su-

NAL order discharging the rule
against the Washington and Old
Dominion railway in the injunction
proceeding brought by discharged
employees to compel their reinstate-
ment The court said he would con-
slider an application to incorporate
his findings of fact in the final de-
cree, when the case is reached for
hearing on the calendar.
In his opinion Justice Siddons found
that the railway is entitled to dis
charge it's men because of affiliation
with the union. that the men were
discharged for that reason and that
the company is amenable to the
transportation act.
Attorney Mackey, for the men. stated
that they won the chief point of their
contention in bringing the railway
under the transportation act. even II
they failed to secure the reinstate-
ment of the men.
Attorneys Wilton ]. Lambert and r.
H Yeatman. for the company. contend
that the sole relief sought in the bill
was the reinst atement of the men and
the company's right to discharge at
will would have to be sustained

Needs of Our Basic Industry.

I WOULD be useless to attempt to
deny that the basic industry of this
country is the farm 1t would be
equally useless to deny that on this one
industry rests primarily the sound, eco
nomic safety of this people; the broadest,
, most equal distribution of wealth and the
greatest measure Of contentment
Nothing before Congress is of mtNe i'm
portance than the present farm problems
OF depressed values of products and the
want OF adequate, efficient labor at produc-
ton wage value. The situation demands
relief, not in years to come, but now.
The farmers should not be left to strug-
gle along until all related industry and pro-
duction, prices and values reach that nor
malcy which may be the ideal goal.
There are too many artificial barriers in
the way and too many interests better or
ganized to take advantage, and too many
conditions that need other correction which
the farm industry cannot change
OF these the most vital are foreign
credits, lack of farm labor and inadequate
transportation facilities to enable the farms
OF America to compete IN the world mar
kets- Congress should keep constantly in
mind the controlling fact-that it is the
world market, not the domestic, which con-
trolls the prices of our farm products
1t is a matter of comparative indiffer-
ence, then, whether American grain meets
Canadian on this side. the border or at Liv-
erpool 1t must meet Argentina, Australia
and all other countries in the same way.
H..
value so long as there is a production
surplus
But It is of enormous importance that the
Great Lakes-St Lawrence waterways 'proN
ject will reduce ocean transportation rates
abroad and to the congested Eastern popu-
laton OF our own country from to 10
cents bushel on grain. That will be an
assured and permanent gain. 1t will re-
move vital competitive barrier.
1t is of Like importance that by some
means surplus city labor, the unemployed
of other industries, should become avail
able on the farms. AS it is there is a worse
than tariff wall between the congested
labor centers and the rural sections A
labor demand faces labor surplus with a
wall between.
This wall should be removed and in some
way the labor supply be made fluid, flowing
readily as the demand changes, from section
to section. Congress at this session can do
nothing of more economic value as whole,
to the whole, than to arrange in some way
to finance foreign credits, opening those
markets to the farms, provide a greater
farm labor supply and put under way a
through water route from the Great Lakes
to our east coast and across the ocean.

Exhibit at Arts Club

teau-Thierry, ST. Mihiel and the Areonne.
orderly and faithful But looking back two
years and more through these fine repre-
sentations the reflective mind finds clearly
depicted the grimmest fact in connection
with such war; that it inevitably grows
greater than its makers.
There is no intentional horror perpetrated
and certainly little glory is knowingly por-
trayed, unless there be glory in the internal
light which hangs over mine craters and
creeps into dawning sky, fretted with the
smoke of bombardment, to touch the
blanched, determined faces of a machine
gun crew The striding passage of the war
god and the wreckage under his footsteps
are what the artist limns. There is gran
deur, aplenty, but If is the grandeur of ele-
mental destruction, not that of the warrior
superb above the field Even Achilles
would lose the splendor of his battle light
under modern barrsge and would hastily
dig in with his myrmidons.
The scenes in this pictured play of deadly
power are not primarily concerned with the
little actors in uniform, and Capt. Harding
found it necessary to show the various
sketches. Here the Yank, Poilu, "Jerry,"
Senegalese, Lady of HelI' and many
others make their bow-and in the next
hung picture are engulfed in the hurricane
of battle.
1t would be useless to attempt detailed
description of any of the larger pictures.
Suffice it to reiterate that the appeal of all
is manifold; to the artist, the thinker, the
former service man and to anyone who
wishes a new conception of war.
The exhibition is under the auspices of
the American Federation of Arts and has
been on tour in many of the larger cities.
