THE TEACHERS CONVENTION

At no time in years has more important or
significant convention been held in this city than
was that of the Central Wisconsin Teachers as
sociation held last Friday and Saturday
More than seven hundred teachers from this
section of the state assembled here in earnest dis
cussion of important educational topics. There
was no politics in this convention, no scramble
for honors no electioneering. It's supreme pur-
pose was to enable teachers to learn how to pre-
pare the children of the state for better and
more useful citizenship.
Inspiring addresses were delivered by some
of the ablest educators and most talented speak
ers in this country. The assembly hall of the high
school, the largest auditorium in the city, was too
small to comfortably care for the crowd though
the aisles between closely crowded rows of desks
were filled with chairs and still many were COM
PEELED to stand. 1t is to be regretted that the city
has no auditorium large enough to justify extend
ing general invitation to the public to attend
such fine conventions.

IS THERE A PRINCIPLE?

There are in Wisconsin thousands on thous-
ands of Republican voters who do not believe in
Senator LaFollette or in the kind of campaign
he made before the primary or the things which
it seems he proposes to stand for as a senator
from Wisconsin. Added to them are other thous-
ands of independent voters who usually have vot-
ed the Republican ticket. 54e 4as
But so far as any leadership or activity is
concerned these voters are inarticuate. The ire
mendous majority of LaFolette in the primary
seems to have been accepted as final. What is
more the idea of the leaders who have asked the
people to follow them seems to be that it is USE
less to do anything further
This is what makes people lose faith in poll
tics This is why one hears the comment that it's
just fight between some people who are out and
want to get in and some others who are in and
don't want to lose their jobs. If there is anything
in the campaign that was made against LaFol-
lettsm, work ought not to cease until the votes
are counted If it mattered whether Wisconsin is
turned over to whose proposals mean going
backward; if it mattered whether Wisconsin is
represented in the senate by a man who proposes
to make the constitution a matter of two-thirds,
majority of any congress that comes along-then
it matters still. ;er 4 y su sH8 T. ..a
"But it is hopeless" you hear people say
What is hopeless? The election in November?
Very likely. The fight for principle? That is
hopeless only when men and women give up prin-
ciple The election of Republican president in
1856 when the party put its first candidate in
the field was hopeless. But if men who believed
in maintaining the Union had not done anything
then what ground would they have had to stand
on four years later? Could Abraham Lincoln
have been elected?
The thousands who voted against LaFoette
in September and the other thousands who did
not vote for him do not believe in him now But
they will not believe in the men who undertook to
organize campaign against LaFollettism, if they
give up now. s9a81ae aea
44k Two years from now another election is COM
ing. Where is any leadership in that election COM
ing FROM if there are no leaders now to make a
fight on their principles even though they think
they cannot win? LaFollettism would not have
come to such triumph this year if principle had
been the rule of the campaigning two years ago.
Is it to be the same story two years from now?-

EUROPEAN WAR DEBTS STAND
President Harding May Send Envoy
to Economic Conference, but
Bars Cancellations.

Washington, Oct. IL. 90 President
Harding made it known at the White
House after the cabinet meeting that
the question of American participation
In a general European economic con-
ference, the purpose Of which would
be to take practical steps for the
financial rehabilitation of Europe, has
nothing whatever to do with the allies
war debts to the United States. While
the Harding administration may be
willing to send an official representa-
tive to such a conference and assist
Europe to its economic feet it will
require clear understanding in adj
vance that the subject of war debts.
including all proposals for cancella-
ton or modification, shall be avoided.

GUILLOTINE ECONOMY

With more room demanded by our "progres-
sive" administrators of public affairs at Madison,
the GAINESVILLE Gazette makes the following re-
marks editorially:
Room! More room!
ut is not the cry of the herald to make way
for the approaching Royal Nibs, but a wall from
the Roll Top Battery of the Swivel Chair Fleet at
our noble state capitol.
'We have so many officers that we may have
to set 'em out on the asphalt approaches and get
in the way of the governors lovely limousine. We
have just got to have more room for the state
government. There are so many hungry mouths
and so many needy inspectors of All cans, ice
cream parlors, barber shops, hay scales, lemonade
fixin's, potato bins ETC., ad hbitum ad nauseum,
ad burdensom that the dream dome of the capitol
will not cover the brood Matched daily beneath its
Etruscan purity.
There is hagacious brick building as you
approach the intense business center of Madi-
deppo. 1t is filled with office holders. 1t is the
Little Capitol. 1t holds the overflow. But there is
more overflow. Political debts have to be paid.
Ergo, let the state pay. Get them on the pay roll
Give Henry Johnson an hour or so extra making
out checks Rent tobacco warehouse or another
large building and turn EN- loose
1.-THE Associated Press carried the news from
Madison that more room just had to be had to
carry on the state government. We have so many
new bureaus, so many more inspectors and petty
office holders that each much have roll top and
swivel chair and room, bless us yes--room for
swinging the feet. s~
ITO the guillotine with economy!
Motto of the state governments: No man
shall be unemployed so long as there is vacant
building to rent in Madison"

MRS. BEN HOOPER

Mrs. Ben Hooper, candidate for the United
States senate and the only opponent OF Latolette
vivited Marathon county this week end. Mrs.
Hooper surprised even her most ardent support
ers. She possesses not only charming and dis
tinctively personality but is endowed with thor
ough knowledge of governmental affairs. We
cannot refrain from expressing the conviction
that her vision and understanding, together with
the democracy she espouses, will win for her
thousands of workers and that she will become
force to be reckoned with seriously in the state.
Mrs. Hooper's influence will have cleansing
effect upon Wisconsin politics, an especially de-
sirabe thing in state which, for its own well
fare and for the interests of it's citizens, is in
greater need of publication than the majority of
her sister states. -t.~r ~.rp .r.tssy< b
For fourteen years this honest woman has
been at work furthering the interests of women
and children. She has been at Madison and, at
Washington many times when the result of her
labor was evident in laws enacted. Her expert
ence would be an inestimable advantage could she
be elected this fall to succeed LaFolette whose
days of accomplishment past and who is so
seriously handicapped by his war attitude that
he will never regain his prestige of Roosevetian
days - "a = y ~ ' 40 III = ~*4&9 81
Mrs Hooper is carrying on her campaign sin
gle handed. Men who have played with politics.
are quite aware of it's intricacies but think of a
woman, the first of her sex to enter the political
arena in the state fighting without an organiza-
tion without slush fund to back her and yet
stumping the entire state, unafraid and confident
that her honesty, her love of womanhood and her
record of unselish service, together with her I'M
questioned approval Of everything that is pro-
gressive, will be victorious over an assault based
appeals to prejudice!
We wish Mrs. Hooper success and while she
is running as an Independent candidate, lacking
party prestige she cannot fail to make strong
impression on all thinking voters.

Show Widespread Increase
In Production.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Figures from
additional industries received by the
Department of Commerce covering
August continue to show widespread
increase in the production of COM
modities during that month. In almost
every industry there was not only an
increase over the production for the
previous month, but, in great major
ity of cases, the August production
was the highest in many months and
often the best record since the depres-
sion at the end of 1920; moreover, this
record was accomplished in the most
critical month Of the coal and railroad

THE WORLDS LAMP

Righteous public opinion is the greatest
force in the universe" writes M. A. Macdonald in
the Kiwanis Magazine May its benignant rays
extend to the farthest corner of the earth--right
eous public opinon-the lamp of the world-the
lamp of Cod" We believe Mr.. Macdonald has pro-
claimed again an old time doctrine upon which
the very basis of democracy is founded. He quail
ifies public opinion, however, by adding to it an
adjective, righteous. 1t is perhaps difficult to
understand what he means unless we pause for
moment We believe he means that, though pub
lie opinion may give hasty and erring judgments
at times, in its saner moments it will always re-
turn verdict'that is correct. AS in religion it is
well to have an implicit confidence.
The Howler which is the official publication
of the Wisconsin Press association, says that the
country editor bases his comings and goings on
press day. That's no lie. 1t further says that
when the year is ended the faithful diligent edi-
tor who keeps plodding along from week to week.
when he closes the volume at the end of the year
will be surprised to note the largeness of his en-
deavors". The overcoming objection, that is the
one that can't be overcome. is that the waste
paper basket furnishes a fine mausoleum each
week for his faithful endeavors.
Our school board and our city council remind
us somewhat of the elderly gentleman who point
ed cane at person nearby, saying: THE person
at the end of this cane is rogue" Instantaneous
reply: (which end?"
Isn't it funny thing that Fords can drop
even in the face of coal prices while everything
else goes up? Our friend Henry is psychologist,
we believe.
