TO MEET RADICALS

Earl w. Foster of Minneapolis has
been in the city the past week with the
expressed intention of remaining here
indefinitely in the work of the North
west Warriors" Without official litera-
ture of the organization we gather that
it is body organized to combat boil
shevism, socialism and |. w. W'ism,
and to encourage Americanism, to
which these other isms are antagonis-
tic. They seem to believe that the
forces opposed to all brands of red be-
liefs have left the field of public dis
cussion and propaganda to the radi-
Gals long enough and that the forces
of sanity should meet the apostles of
bolshevism with their own weapons
and in their own manner in ceaseless
public discussion and in acceptance of
the challenge to debate which the agi-
tatorS have with inpumity been in the
habit of hurling about.
There would seem to be some good
sense in this idea. The Warriors may
be right and accomplish great public
good depending on the ability of the
chosen "warriOrs" for their tasks.

CAhElS GROWING FAST

The local caravan" of Camels had
an invitation at Blue Ribbon hall Sun
day afternoon. There was an address
by f. c. McHenry, mayor of Oshkosh,
and large class of new camels were
initiated by c. h. Diegle of Milwaukee,
grand secretary of the order. The
local is taking applications daily and
Manitowoc may soon have one of the
strongest caravans in the state. We
are not sure whether the Camels are
pledged to the repeal of the prohibi-
ton amendment entirely or whether
their efforts are to be confined to the
enactment of state and federal legisla-
ton which will define the words Gin
toxicating beverages" in the amend
ment in manner to permit the sale of
beer and "light wines" If they are
aimingO. at repeal they would seem at
this writing to be aiming at the moon.
The liberal legislation is task enough
to make the camels hump themselves
for a while. 1t is rot impossible. How
nearly impossible it is will be clearer
soon after the United States supreme
court has passed on the meaning of the
federal and state concurrent jurisdic-
ton" in the Eighteenth amendment.

LOCAL CONNECTION WITH KILLING

At Milwaukee Saturday evening
man named Shields shot and killed a
"Miss" Fannie Hoine, and then killed
himself, on the doorstep of the wom-
ans home. The Milwaukee papers
Sunday had it that she had been di-
yorced from George "Muschep of
Mantowoc. When seen here George
Musiel said that he had been granted a
divorce from the woman on March 10,
1919, because of the attentions of this
man Shields As the year within which
the woman might not marry had ex-
pred the day before the murder it is
probable that there is some truth in
the belief that Shields was importun-
ing her to marry him and that she was
refusing.

HOUSING COMPANY OPERATING

The Wisconsin Housing Association
has opened Offices in the National
Bank building. The associations main
endeavor will be to build moderate
priced homes to be paid for in Install
ments, which may be very small run
ming over considerable period. They
will build home in any section of the
city and plan to eliminate the fees of
an architect and superintendent and
other usual elements of cost. The start
of this work is the result of the plan
ming of a dozen or more local men who
seek to relieve the tense housing situa-
ton. II. B. Kamschulte, architect, is
in charge,

PRIMARY ELECTION

The annual spring municipal primary
was held last Tuesday. The official can
vass of results will be found in the
council proceedings on another page.
The only elimination contests for aid
erman were in the Second ,and Sixth
wards and the biggest surprise was
probably the elimination of Alderman
Sladkey in the Second, he running a
poor third after serving three terms as
alderman. AuClair failed to get on the
April ballot for supervisor in the First
ward. Theer was an unusually heavy
vote out for primary where little in
terest had been manifested.

The annual junior party given in
honor of the seniors is to be held at
the Opera House, Friday evening, May
7. The members of the high school
faculty unanimously agree to definite
regulations which are henceforth to be
observed at all junior parties. They
are published in the hope that parents
will cooperate with the faculty in see
ing that these rules are carried out
/. The party is to begin at nine
O'Clock and must end at one.
2. The attendance is limited to jun
iors, seniors, and alumni A freshman
or a sophomore may go if invited by a
junior or senior.
g. Sleeveless dresses, low cut hecks,
and extravaganza are extremely poor
taste at a young peoples party. Par
ents are particularly urged to encour-
age simplicity and modesty in dress.
4. Official chaperons consisting of
parents, patrons, and teachers will be
in attendance throughout the party,
g. The galleries are free to parents
only. The general public Is not in
vited.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met in adjourned session
Monday night to take up paving bids.
The Manitowoc Construction company
had a new bid on file. 1t offered to do
the concrete paving for $27S per
square yard, $l.l0 per cubic yard for
grading, 80 cents per lineal foot for
curb and gutter and 10 cents per foot
for resetting curbs.
The only other bidder, a Watertown
concern, was much higher, bidding $f
per yard for the paving.
The local company made good its
promise to submit as good price on
the second letting as on the price it re-
called because of some alleged techni-
cal defect of which it was afraid.
The price now is fixed and does not
depend in any degree on future prices
of materials The local company was
awarded the job and the entire two
miles of concrete paving will be laid
this year.
The mayor was of the opinion that
the additional three miles of paving
planned for 1921 will have to go over
year at least because of the heavy
burdens for other necessities that the
city has assumed.
The council gave official sanction to
the move to have a homecoming in
the city this coming summer to fitting
ly celebrate the city's semi-centennial
The mayor appointed committee of
five to have the matter in charge. He
named O'Donnell, McKeough Thomp-
son, Revolinski and Bouril. The time
fer holding the affair was discussed
but the dates were left to the commit
tee to fix.
Twenty-six more former saloonkeep-
ers filed applications for permits to
sell soft malt drinks, bringing the to-
tai up to fifty-fve. The new ones are:
Lawrence Fuka, Teteak Bros, j. Z.
Kuhl, Anton Kulbeck, William Hoyer,
Otto Hamburg, Anton Wilda, Frank
Bredl, Thos Stenson. John Dassey,
Alvin Lange, Mrotek & Killian, +. j..
Komorowsky, Wellhoefer Bros. Louis
Olson, Chas. F. Schmidt, Henry A.
Meyer, JOS. SCHNEIDER, Mrs. Hanna
Thayer, John Lettenberger, John +.
Kraemer, Chas. Auclair, VIM. Krezan-
owski, Anton Wergin, John Fischer,
Richard Kubista.
According to the report of Mr.. II.
Mulholland filed with the city the city's
population this winter was S17,S20. He
made a house to house canvass in max
ing a census required hr low when .e
city contemnlates increasing the num-
ber of wards. He says that the federal
census now being tabulated may not
show quite so large number as only
those were included there who admit
ted to permanent residence
The population of the city by wards
is as follows:
First ward-2,1l2
Second ward-2,133.
Third ward-3,3l6.
Fourth ward-2,475.
Fifth ward-3,053.
Sixth ward-1,34l.
Seventh ward-3,300.

1t may be news to some persons that
the number of young men and women
entering the county training schools,
the normal schools, and the university
in this state, to equip themselves as
teachers, is lessthan it was three years
ago. This is because other employers
offer better pay and more promising
future than the average school board.
The result will have serious effect on
our schools unless teaching is made
more attractive than it is today.

BENEFIT PERFORMANCE

Manager Thielen has secured for the
benefit performance Friday evening,
March 26, for the milk fund of the
starving German and Austrian children
William Farnum in Dickens "A Tale
of Two Cities" Manitowoc theater-
goers who saw Farnum in Victor
Hugo's Les Miserpbles" two years ago
pronounced it the greatest historical
drama ever shown on the screen. In
"A Tale of Two Cities" this king of
the drama plays the dual role of Sid
ney Carton and Charles Darnay, two
totally different characters with but
one feature in common-the face.
Carton was happy go-lucky, drunken,
penniless boy and Darnay the very in
carnation of the aristocrat, although
an adherent of the revolution.
The great unheayal of the French
people, oppressed and goaded to des-
peration by tyrannical kind and a
cruel greedy nobility is shown by stu
pendous scenes like the destruction of
the BaStille, the historical French
prison and the trials of the enemies of
the French republic.
Manager Thielen was able to secure
this costly masterpiece through the
generosity of a prominent local manu-
&, pt,tr.r ,,,bn ,,nI,,taa,,J - earl
check for one-half the cost of this mag
nifcent film. Every dollar realized will
be used to help the poor innocent lit
I tie victims of the war, Mr.. Thelen not
only donating the Orpheum for the
/ evening but all the incidental expense
as well, Admission will be 25 cents
plus war tax.
( Editor Pilot: The movie houses of
/ Manitowoc have been kind enough to
give us the proceeds of one night for
our German and Austrian children's
fund, and the Orpheum very kindly
gives us next Friday night. The film
to be shown is the dramatization of
Dickens celebrated novel, the "Fale of
Two Cities"
In view of the fact that both Mrs.
Rahr and | saw this film in California
about two years ago and were very
much delighted with it, we want to
recommend this film to the moving pic
ture patrons of Manitowoc and ask
them to be sure to see it. AS it is also
historical we hope that there viii be a
good and enthusiastic crowd.
Yours very truly,
REINHARDT RAHR,
President.
Relief Association for German
and Austrian Children.

ceive treatment, having returned to his

cializing in chemistry and was @for

EDUCATIONAL.

The boys and girls who are attend
ing the schools today will soon be men
and women. Upon them. depends the
character of our nation in the future.
To make them good citizens we must
properly educate them. To do this re-
quires capable teachers.
Teaching today is a profession that
is not drawing to it a sufficient number
of persons to educate the children and
youth of the land. The attractions of
adequate salaries and brilliant future
are found in other lines of endcavor.
In New York City last year there were
more than 10000 children for whom
there were class rooms, but no teach
ers. During January and February of
this year 1000 school teachers in New
York City left to find work in other
professions or industries where they
would be able to earn their daily
bread.
This condition is not peculiar to New
York, but obtains throughout the
union, and Wisconsin is no exception.
While the school attendance is growing
larger, the number of persons who are
preparing to become teachers is get
ting smaller. Sound public policy de
mands that steps be taken without de-
lay to remedy this situation.
Everybody knows that the cost of
living has practically doubled since
1914. While men engaged in the in
dustries in many cases have had their
wages increased to a point that en-
ables them to meet a proportion of the
added cost the teachers have not been
so fortunate. The increase in expenses
of living has been about six times as
great since 1914 as has been the in
crease in salaries during that period
Teachers salaries have always been
too low This is generally recognized
by all fair minded people. Many teach
ers live at home during the vacation
time If this were not so they would
not be able to exist throughout the
twelve months on the salaries they re
ceive.
To obtain teachers and safeguard
the future of our children, educators
must be given salaries that will meet
the cost of living, enable them to inn
prove their training, and save dollar
or two for a rainy day.
