Following the luncheon, E. p. Oertel,

spoke for few moments, calling at
tention to the Armistice day celebra

Personal property in the city OF Wau-

Four towns in the county lead all
others by over 1000 in the number oil
horses, the towns of Hamburg, Riet-
brock, Spencer and Wausau, the latter
one of which is 500 ahead of its near
est competitor. The town OF Wau-

fines. 1t will be a surprise to some
to know that in the city OF Wausau
there are only 1877 horses now.
Sheep and Swine
The county has 1912 sheep, the
town of Maine leading the towns OF
Halsey and Berlin with S33. Stettin
is next in line with 100. Holton, EN-

of swine. Lake Wausau gives Roths-

The number of automobiles in the

statements Of bankers, growers and
others who have been active in the
movement to force prices for the 1920

will not be far from the 1920 record.
They assign this as the reason for the
nervous situation that has torn the
hurley tobacco region for the last sew

Buyers Of tobacco are silent as to
why prices are not higher. Farmers 1.ss

should drop gradually. They assert
that labor costs during the 1920 season

As Others See 1t
ELIMINATE PoLITics FROM TIE SCHOOL
(Tampa Times.)


Prof Chas NJ. Jones' supervising principal of
the Lakeland public schools has issued leafet
conveying an argument which appeals 10 the
Times having much merit. The gist of it is
that the, Offices of state and county superintend
ents Of education should be taken out of politics
and made appointve instead of electve-thc
county superintendent to be chosen by the
school boards after an examination, high stand
ard of equipment and experience to be required
of all candidates. He sets up that skill, scholar
ship and professional training are required iii
city school superintendent and to a certain de-
gree iii all teachers, but that man may-under
the present system-be chosen state or county
superintendent on account of his personal pop
ularity alone. This system has been abandoned
in many states.
Professor Jones quotes the United States COM
missioner of education. Hon. p. p. ClaXton as
strongly urging the adoption of this system, as
follows:
1T would be considered equally absurd to elect
the city superintendent by popular vote or to let
the mayor appoint him. 1t is less absurd for
the county superintendent to be elected by the
people at large than it would be for the city
perintendent to be so elected and therefore re-
sponsihe to other than the city board of
education. Boards of education should have the
power to select county superintendent from the
them only on the basis of professional prepare
ton and ability
Hon. w. N. Sheats, our own state superintend
emit, is also quoted by Professor Jones favor
ing abandonment of the present plan;
Il hope that constitutional convention will be
called in Florida. | want to provide that all
school officials, from the state superintendent
down, shall be appointed by a state, nonpolitical
board, created for that special purpose. | would
have this board perform the functions of both
the state board of education and the state board
of control with the state superintendent chair
man secretary of it. The appointive system
will have to be adopted and proper man placed
at the head of the county schools wherever they
may he found; until such system is adopted,
will not cease to throw away much valuable
public fund
The argument that the schools should be taken
out of politics and that the selection of school
officials should be based fitness and equip
ment should appeal to all thinking PERSONS.

LAST CALL FOR PEACE

This country has gone so far on the road Of
militarsm that it is hard now. and soon will be
impossible to turn hack. If ever expects to
become peaceful nation promoting the ideals of
peace and advocating moral above physical force,
ii must start in that direction now II the present
administration carries out its design to establish
the biggest navy in the world" other nations
will enter the compettion-wars will follow, which,
like all former wars, will settle nothing but the
relative strength Of the participants, and the very
best to which we can look forward will be the
establishment Of an impreghakle military autoc-
racy, "sorous" so far as wholesale slaughter can
confer glory. but utterly hopeless as field in
which to work out any peaceful or progressive
aspirations.
We can not enter the field as an avowed mill
tary nation without accepting the philosophy and
mourning the penalties of mihtarism. In Germany
the greatest modern example of military
power we can see reflected what we shall think
and feel and do and suffer if VIC pursue the same
course Public sentiment will be mitarized. War
will remain the most honorable profession indi-
vidualism viii be crushed Democracy will con-
tinue to be merely an irrdcsccnt dream. All forms
CT industry all branches of learning, all the max
inns of priest and philosopher will be designed to
strengthen the nations military power.
If the people understood exactly what it means
there would be no danger; but arguments for mill
tary preparedness never tell the whole truth and
rarely tell any. Spacious and plausible reasons for
"beino ready tn UNFOLD the honor oE the N at;op
against any foe will suffice to dull the public
conscience and conceal the secret designs of the
miitarists. Experience has shown that mere man
is not sufficiently alert to keep his country from
feeding its sens to the war god at certain intervals
The only hope remaining is that the newly en-
franchsed women will have enough sense to see
the horror" and uselessness of war, and enough
courage to make this land of peace, whatever the
rest CT the world chooses to do
