No man who has spent million
dollars to secure a nomination for
president should expect to be NOM
mated. If he were the money spent
should, and will, we believe, prove
his political damnation. His end is in
sight.
Concluding it's article, The Sun
and New York Herald has this to
say.
"a very serious reflection must
occur to those admirers and support
ers of General Wood who are now
noting and deploring the effect OF
these revelations upon his chances
for the nomination. Even as practical
politicians they must be impelled by
the testimony before the Senate COM
mittee to contrast the present stiua-
ton with that which would have OBJ
tained had his name gone before an
open convention signifying nothing
more than dark horse possibility
upon whose promotion not a dollar
to say nothing of hundreds Of thous-
ands or millions of dollars-had pre-
viously been spent for publicity and

"The Sun and New York Herald
can recall no evidence of such pre-
liminary expenditure in the Presi-
Dental year for example, when the
Republican convention produced
Abraham Lincoln as it's candidate"

partment reveals the fact that the
annual salary of an employee hold
ing a position demanding only read
ing, writing and arithmetic, IS 1882.
| In positions demanding high school
commercial courses the annual sal
ary is s1729, while the employee fill
ing a position requiring a college or
technical education is receiving a
yearly salary Of $4,000. These figures
are of course the average salaries
and the maximum in each of the three
classes will run much higher.
Another research into the earning
capacity of uneducated laBorers and
high school graduates proves con-
clusive!y that every day spent in
high school pays the pupil S9.O2
The child that stays out of school to
earn less than nine dollars day is
losing money, not making money, yet
some parents think because Johnny
can make $3.50 or $500 a day, he:
should be denied the right to high
school education, so Johnny is per-
mitted or worse, encouraged to stop
school and 60 to work.
The head of the Randolph Macon
system analysed "Who's Who in
America" for the years 1899 and
1900, studying the careers of the
5000 people sketched in these two
,, volumes. He discovered that the av-
erage citizen with high school edu-
cation had more than 20 times as
good chance to attain distinguished
prominence as one who stopped with
an elementary school course; and he
who went to college or university
had over nine times the chance Of the
high school man, or more than 200
times the chance of those trained in
the elementary school, and 800 times
! the chance of those who had no reg
| ular school training at all. e..
| While any one of these studies
/ may not be conclusive, YET when, all
of them point SO clearly and without
exception to the greatly superior
earning power of the educated, the
conclusion is irresistible. There une
! doubtedly exists a close casual con-
nection between education and
wealth. It is fundamental law OF
men and nations that earning capac-
ity is based on education. knowledge
is now not merely power; 1T y
i money. .

education today means more 'finan-
;cially than in all years past. 49,.
Even this great government of
ours realizes the worth of an educat-
ed citizen to such an extent that the
Treasury Department is daily issuing
propaganda in the form of bulletins
and pamphlets on ga College Educa-
tion, Its Importance and How to FL
nance It." One of the latest Of these
bulletins is filled with extracts from
"Does 1t Pay" a little pamphlet
which is the work of DR.. Reed Smith,
professor of English at the Univer-
sity of South Carolina.
"The richest and most powerful
nations" says DR.. Smith, care those
with the best school systems, and
they have not established school sys-
TENS because they are rich and pow
erful, but they are nch and power
full because they have established
good school systems. Wherever there
is adequate provision for education,
there are found successful govern
ments, great industrial efficiency, and
large national wealth.
In the United States the earning
capacity of the different States is in
direct proportion to the efficiency of
their school systems. If the forty
eight States are arranged, first, in
the ascending order of individual
earning capacity and, second, in the
ascending order of the efficiency of
the school systems, the two lists
would be found to coincide with
startling exactness."
All professions, with the exception
of school teaching, are more lucrative
than non-professional occupations.

Standardization of the teaching pro-
fession so that the procession will be
placed upon high plane and the mis-
fits weeded out, and the leaders Of
education see that none but real
teachers are put into the school
rooms, the school teacher will be-
come a laborer worthy Of his hire and
the people will demand that the
teacher be paid, not only living
salary, but salary that will permit
him to lay up surplus against the
inevitable rainy day.

she was never meant for heavy ac-
ton outside of the North Sea.
Her construction is distinctly Ger
man, and differs in many ways from
that OF American ships. Her compart-
ments are close and stuffy, filled with
complicated machinery piled in a laby-
rinth of passage ways and a perfect
mass of control wires and communi-
cation tubes. Below decks each COM

The long-heralded arrival Of the
navy's prizes of the war ended on
August 9Th, when the three German
destroyers, the Dreadnaught "Ostfries,
land and the cruiser Frankfurt" ar
rived off Sandy Hook.
First came the mighty drealnaught,

Frankfurt followed by the three de-
stroyers. also under tow Of three
mine sweepers. The Stars and the
Stripes were flying proudly at the
gaff, as from any American ship and
the only German earmarks discernable,
was the distinct type OF construction
used by the German Navy.
These ships were brought over from
the other side by American crews,
who were sent over TO place them in
commission several months ago The
ordeal which these men passed through
was hard one. The Germans had left
nothing undone which would render
them useless to the allies, and the
magnitude Of the undertaking can be
more easily appreciated when you
