Next Fusion at the Primaries,

The fusion ticket is in the field,
but the anti-Tammany voters, Re-
publicans and others, must put their
seal on it at the primaries.
This is the work of the men and
the women of New York who want
to see their city, with it's homes and
schools, streets and parks, expenses
and taxes, delivered out of the Muir
phy-Hylan wilderness. 1t is their
work at the primaries in Manhattan,
Brooklyn, The Bronx. Queens and
Richmond. They cannot leave 1t for
anybody else to do.
Some of the political gentry who
are going to contest the fusion ticket
at the primaries say they will abide
by the decision there. Some do not
say whether they will or will not.
But the antiTammany voters can
make it an easy and final matter for
all the contestants to quit at the
primaries and be glad to quit. The
anti-Tammany voters can do this by
piling up so overwhelming a primary
plurality for the fusion ticket that
no option will be left to anybody
else except to quit then and there for
good and all.
In all the history OF political inde-
pendence in municipal affairs there
never was a better year for inde-
pendent Democrats and straight out
independents as well as Republicans
to make their ballots count for the
fusion ticket against professional
bushwhackers or Tammany stool pig
cons in the primaries. Tens of thou
sands of independents and indepen-
dent Democrats were so aroused
1 against President WILSON'S Admins
tration and party year ago that
when they went to register SO as to
qualify to vote the Harding ticket
they enrolled for the first time In
their lives on the organization lists
Of the Republican party.
This enrolment of last year en-
titles all such independents and in
dependent Democrats to vote the Re-
publican primary ticket this year.
They can put their marks along with
the marks of Republicans on the
fusion ballots which the official Re-
publican party will offer and support
in every election district in Greater
New York. These independents and
independent Democrats can swamp
any factional Republican vote that
is cast against the fusion candidates
at the Republican primaries.
1t is not to be believed that the
independents and independent Demo
Gratis OF New York who would not
countenance the ruin Of their country
by the Wilson party are willing to
suffer the ruin of their city by MUIR
PHYS Tammany Hall working its
purpose through Mayor HYLAN. But
to do their part to its fullest possi-
bilities these independents and inde-
pendent Democrats who enrolled last
year with the Republican party must
go to the primaries with their votes
for the fusion candidates on Republi-
can tickets. They and the Republi-
can rank and file must back up one
another in backing up the Republi-
can primary ticket for fusion. And
when their combined vote buries the
contesting factionalists, whether a
La Guardia on this side of the Bridge
or a Haskell on the other, the pri-
mary snipers will have had all they
want and will know 1t.

The Future at the Metropolitan.

Lovers Of opera in New York will
turn from their grief at the loss OF
the tenor who for so many years had
been the greatest glory Of the Metro
politan Opera House to speculation
on the future OF that institution. De-
pendent as the fortunes of the opera
season have been, since the great
popularity Of CARUso, on his presence,
New York has learned that no single
artist is indispensable to the success
of opera in this city. 1t is true that
MAURICE GRAu once interrupted his
activity at the Metropolitan Opera
House because JEAN DE REszKE could
not visit the United States In that
year. There was opera nevertheless,
for WALTER DAMRosCH gave season
at the Metropolitan Opera House;
and operate affairs in New York a
quarter OF a century ago were on a
very different scale from that they
have reached to-day.
Director GATTICAsAzzA is too wise
an impresario not to make prepara-
tions for any contingency in his ad-
ministration Of the important post he
holds. Devoted as he was to the de-
parted tenor, as man and artist. he
had to keep in mind his duty to the
directors of the opera company and
the public Signor GATrI therefore
took what precautions he could to in
sure its usual brilliancy to the ap-
preaching season if that were ever
possible without the cooperation Of
the distinguished tenor.
He sought the two operatic artists
of the day who have recently met
with the greatest success before the
New York public. They are AMELITA
GAILI-CURcI and TITTA RUFFo. He
engaged the soprano and the basso.
Nine GALLICuRcI's term Of ale
glance to the Metropolitan was ma
terially heightened after there came
to be reason for fearing that 1t
might not be safe to count on CA
IUso. No other artist in recent years
has aroused such popular enthusi-
asm as TrTrA RuTFo.
But in the tenor choir? In GIGLr
the Metropolitan Opera House pos
sesses a singer of the first rank who
may under competent direction de-
velop into an important performer.
1t was on the Metropolitan stage that
JEAN DE REsZKE and CARUso attained
their greatest artistic stature. GIGII's
future there lies promisingly be-
fore him. The most popular tenor in
this country next to CARUso is JOHN
MCCORMACK, and there may be feel
ing Of disappointment that he is not
to be on the list of singers. But Mr..
MCCORMACK has his own public. He
Is essentially a concert singer and
probably he could not under any con-
ditions be induced even in the future
to give up his unique place in the
musical world. In the case of this
famous singer as in the case Of LU-
cIEN MURAToRE 1t is certain that
neither GATTI-CAsAZzA nor his direc-
tors in the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany would have suggested last
spring the engagement of any other
tenor than CAEuso for leading roles
Affection and respect for their ailing
comrade would have made such a
course impossible.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 3.
The national shortage in the supply
OF school teachers. so serious a year
ago that It forced the closing of many
schools throughout the country. has now
ceased to be a problem. according to Of
ficials OF the Bureau of Education.
Trained teachers of both sexes are
flocking TO get their old Jobs in public
elementary. grade and high schools in
all but few sections. Nearly 100000
instructors. or approximately the normal
force. are now preparing to take charge
when the autumn term begins next
month.
Failing salaries in commercial pur-
suits and q big increase in salaries OF
teachers, coupled with lack of employ
ment, is responsible for the rush of
teachers back to the schools. according
to officials OF the Bureau of Education.
The average salary Of elementary
teachers is generally above $1,000 year,
according to suryery made by the
bureau officials. The average salary of
survey shows. This represents an IN
crease OF SO per cent. since 1918 for high
school teachers. Salaries of elementary
school teachers are believed TO have
increased In like proportion. although
the bureau has made no detailed survey
of the situation in the grades.
Salaries Being Raised.
In 1918 the lowest range of salaries
paid in elementary schools was slightly
above 5000 year. Now, however State
Legislatures. school boards and local
officials in all States are Fastening 20
boost salaries. the reports show. This
movement began about a year ago u
California high school teacher feeci .e
more than 5000 a year. THE taie prla
more than any other. v J fini-. nigh
school teachers rc~"sNc lay slightly
more than 1900 ,Ia. This is the
State OF lowest s4.a4les in high school
work.
There are about 10000 teachers giving
their entire time to work in high
schools This class of school suffered
least from the shortage of instructors
when the war began to draw thousands
from the school rostrums. Salaries al
ways have been higher in the high
school service than in the elementary
schools. When the high schools began
to lose teachers thera was q drift of
teachers in that direction from elemen-
tary grades. This, Il would seem. would
have discouraged the increase in sal
arbss in the high schools. Government
officials are unable to explain why high
school salaries took such big jump.
In the elementary schools when the
shortage of teachers was greatest more
than 10000 teachers were needed. Schools
were forced to close in some districts
because there were no teachers. In sew
eral sections Of the country students
received an average OF but ninety days
instruction in tho school year of nine
months.

The Ohio member swept aside an
opinion by Attorney General Palmer
that Judge Landis was within the law,
and that there was no law making

would file complaint against Judge

and later attacked the jurist In the

He characterized Judge Landis'
