DEMOCRATS HAPPY,

By Joseph S. Jordan.
Special STAFF Correspondent Of The
Evening World.


SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. s.
The delegates to the Democratic Con-
ference. their work finished, have
quietly folded their tents like the
Arabs OF old and departed, this way
and that way. north, south, east and
west, and left Saratoga to It's own de-
vices and tho races. The departure,
unlike the exodus Of Republicans last
week, was a peculiarly happy one.
The Republicans went away in gloom,
for the reason that they didn't know
whom they had designated for Gov
ernor, save that his name was Ma
than l.. Miller.
Not % the delegates 10 the DEM
ocratic State Conference. They went
away thoroughly. knowing the men
they named, suggested or showed
preference f0r. and confident in their
ability to elect the ticket headed by
Gov. Alfred L. Smith. and with Lieut..
Gov. Harry c. Walker making the
fight for the United States Senate.
Most OF the men who came up here
were OF the opinion that before Elec-
ton Day a lot OF them would be
called to Albany for an extra session,
and II was pretty well understood
outside OF Saratoga Springs that the
housing situation in Greater New
York demanded an extraordinary
session, as well as "A few other things
which called for immediate action.
But Gov. Smith, up to the time OF his
leaving for Albany last night, had
not decided to issue the call.

q man who put the education OF two
boys before the love and happiness
Of such a woman as was being offered

The next day Chisholm returned 30
his Newark home and found his wife

A telephone message from Mrs. Park

was also missing. While he was still
talking at the telephone Mrs. Chis-

a mopent later Mrs Parker reported
that Tariter had returned 10 her.

REPEATEDLY OFFERED TO SUR.

Chisholm swears that he tried to
save some happiness from the wreck
for his wife by repeated offers to step
out and let her have the man of her
choice. He refused to be a sham htls-
band and a mere living screen for his
Nite's affection for the husband of
another woman.
Again and again no told Parker. the

his lawyers incorporate into the cold
controversial legal wording OF his suit
the assertion that ne still believes his
wife is and always has been "a good
woman"
To all Of which. Parker, In an
affidavit shortly replies
he never sought to win away the love
she once had for her husband.
Parker at Morristown day de-
clined TO say more about Chisholm's
suit and accusations than that the
charge was false that he had weaned
away Mrs. Chisholm's affections or
that she had given them to him TO the
exclusion Of her husband. He had
known her many yeans, he said, and
their friendship always had regard
for their duties to their own families.

The ,amountPof state aid varies
a little from year to year. Last
year the total appropriation
from the state amounted to
something. like $1,000.
Under the Smith-Hughes law
federal aud state aid is given
for the teaching OF agriculture.
This aid is one-half OF the agri-
CULTURAL teachers yearly salary.
In our case this would amount
to about one thousand dollars
per year. La applying for this

Gehrand, under date OF Dec. 9,
1919 wrote as follows: 1.-The

proper housing conditions
Washburn could secure about
$1,000 per year of this state and
federal aid.
The aids obtainable from eli

about SIC, 900 per year. Special
aids for education will greatly
increase from year to year under
proposed federal and state
Legislation, and the above may
be regarded as minimum
The amount received from
federal and state aids would
therefor pay the greater share
of the cost Of the proposed

lose the aid and keep our chilu-

Shall We Lose The State Aid to Our Schools?


Education is the nations
greatest resource. Through
state and federal aid the nation
attemptsto equalize the educa-
tional opportunities of different
communities. Since taxation is
based on property valuation
while aid is distributed on the
basis of school population and
educational opportunities pro-
vided, the wealthier COM
munities are made to aid the
less FORTUNATE. 1t follows, there
fore that a poor Com mnnity
that does not take advantage OF
federal and state aid is losing
not only what is paid by itself
toward the aid funds but also
what the richer communities
contribute.
The schools of this city are on
the point OF losing their state
aid because of lack of proper
ballding conditions. On October
81, 1917. State superintendent
q. P. Cary wrote the local Board
of education as follows: "You
