On the generally accepted principle that zone good term de-
serves another" there has been a rather insistent demand that
Roscoe H. Alcorn should permit his name to go before the people
|of Carbon County for reelection to the house of representatives
in the state legislature, to which he has cheerfully acceeded, as he
always does when called upon to perform a public service.
Shortly after being mustered out of the army after the sign
ing of the armistice. Mr.. Alcorn was elected to the legislature
and his work there during the session marked him as one Of the
real leaders of progressive thought and action in that body. There
he developed a capacity for sane, constructive legislation and
showed an intimate knowledge of the needs of the people of his
county and state which proved especially valuable in the councils
of his party.
He is the editor and publisher of The Rawlins Republican and
enjoys a wide acquaintance in all sections of the state, where his
editorial utterances are generally read and freely quoted; He is a
has always been an employer of Union labor. He is a member of
the Fred Duncan Post, American Legion.
Mr.. Alcorn has always been an active party worker and
at all times an enthusiastic Republican, ready to give his time,
or labor to advance the interests of the party or those Of
his personal friends. He has served for the past two campaigns
as secretary of the Carbon County Central Committee.

Thomas H. Butler, of Hanna, who has been nominated by the
Republican party for a seat in the legislature is a native son of
this state and county. having been born in the town of Carbon in
November, 1870, All of his life he has been identified with the
development of the state and of the coal industry.
He is the eldest of a family of 10 children, and has been self
supporting since he was a lad of eleven years, and has risen to
his present position of responsibility through sheer aggressive
ness and strength of character. Although having been employed
in the coal mines at various points in the state his time has been
spent the most part in Carbon county. Since 1908 he has been
superintendent of the Union Pacific mines at Hanna, with the ex-
ception of ashort time, during which he was transferred to a SIM
liar position at Superior.
The public service already rendered by Mr.. Butler in the past
has been conspicuous and satisfactory to his constituents and his
presence in the Legislature will not only reflect credit upon the
county but will prove valuable from a business standpoint. For
eight years he was a member of the board of county commission.
ers and was chairman of the board for six years, during all of
which time he demonstrated his fitness in the management Of the
term. AS an employer of labor Mr.. Butler has gained reputation
for fairness and a just regard for the rights Of others which has
won him many firm friends among the coal miners, who are his
most loyal supporters.

The voters of Carbon County determined early in the present
campaign that W.. W. Daley should represent them for the third
term in the State Senate, where by reason of his tireless efforts,
natural ability and pleasing personality he had become one of
the most commanding and influential figures in the state gov
eminent during his two previous terms of service in that impor.
tant position.
Among his colleagues in both houses of the legislature "W.
W. is conceded to be one of the most fair minded and substantial
members of that body, who by his calmness and diplomatic acts
headed off many a verbal clash on the floor of the Senate and ad-
justed the differences satisfactorily to all concerned, whether Re-
publicans or Democrats. When there was important business on
hand no task was too disagreeable or too laborious for him to
handle and bring to a successful accomplishment.
Mr.. Daley was honored by the last legislature by being elected
president of the State Senate. a position which he filled to the
satisfaction of all and gained for himself a reputation for fair.
ness and excellent acquaintance with the most intricate details
of parliamentary law.
In his own home city and county Mr.. Daley is one of the
leaders in all movements of progress and civic betterment. He is
one of the leaders in the Rotary Club and the Rawlins Board of
Trade and his name is usually found on important committees
whenever there is work to be done and a forward step taken.

velopment instruction. The teachers point out that under the present sys- tenn the pupils are receiving approx imately the required amount of phys icaI instruction.
 It was maintained by the teach CTS that their days work is not com pleted with the close of the school day. There is much work to be done after the pupils have departed for their homes. The average days work for a teacher is seven hours and in many cases more. Then, too, the teacher is subjected to intense men tai strain throughout five hours, and it is feared that the addition of an extra half hour would be detrimental to health
 Teachers to Meet Board
 These points will be embodied in any protest the teaching corps may decide to make. It is being planned to Send a representative committed to meet with the Board of Education Up to the present time no formal pro test of any sort was in the hands of the board.
 A member of the board said today in reference to the proposed increase: :: "In increasing the school day and forming to recognized methods now used throughout the United States. Bridgeport is pratica.HlW the only city in the country which pays its teach CTS the highest of salaries, yet main tains a school year shorter than any elsewhere in the nation.''

Staples School Children
 Display Fine Art Work

Art instruction in the public schools of Bridgeport is ten years in advance of aanythfng of it's nature now in vogue in any Eastern city. Even in Rochester, where school officials pride themselves on their progressive policy, the work of the local children was in the New York city's schools to be superior. All this came to light as a result of Bridgeport's showing at ar art exhibit in Rochester in which twenty-seven schools displayed the work of their pupils.
 The exhibit which was in charge of Miss Jackson, local supervisor of art. was intensely proud of the record of Bridgeport school children and was repeatedly asked to exhibit the same material at Columbuia, New York School of Art, Pennsylvania schools, and elsewhere.
 Staples Shows How.
 All this praise from people so far from home led the faculty of Staples school into allowing the people of Bridgeport to view some of the art work of local school children. An during the latter part of this week people interested in the work school children are doing visited Staples school where pupil-made objects dart of every description were on exhibition. Much of the art work was on the order of the prize winning work which created so much favorable comment at Koch hester.

Longer Hours Not Popular
 With Local Teaching Staff

The unpopularity of the "stag- gered system as the teachers have termed the edict of the Board of Ed ucation, requiring the lengthening of the school day and the increasing of the school year by 20 days, was evi- denced at a meeting of the Teachers Association this week. Although no formal action protesting the board s . move was made, there is no doubt that there will be considerable oppo- sition to the putting into effect of the plan which has "staggered' the teaching corps all over the city.
 Many of the teachers are frankly opposed to the increase of the school year by 20 days. It would appear that this increase will cut into the summer holidays. Such action would be inn practical since children are so af- fected by the hot weather that in structton is practically impossible.
 Vacation Kept Intact.
 The boards ruling the 20-day increase was intended to convey the idea that the summer holidays were not to be cut in any way. The 20 days to be taken from the Christmas and Easter holidays, and from non essential holidays such convention days. The primary object of the board in increasing the school day to five and one-ha1f hours is to allow them proper instruction in phsysicaI training in conformation with the states requirements that a child must receive a certain amount of health de-

Drive On At
 Trade School
 For Members

Director Herbert J Hanson of the Bridgeport Trade school in an effort to drive home to local young men and women the opportunities of em- barking upon a career that lie within the doors of the free trade school, has addressed the following letter to pupils of the public schools:
 Young Men and Women:
 If you heed this suggestion. you will save yourselves much distress and eventually find much satisfac- tion
 trade to make a living, but learn a trade just the same.
 Until you know from personal ex- perience how to work and what it means to work, you can never sue cessfu1ly manage others while they work.
 Why has Johnson of shoes. Schwalb of steel Morgan of money, Edison of eiectricity-why have these men suc- ceeded?
 Why have so many coming young men made their mark?
 Answer: These men have all learned trades. They know their business.
 A useful trade is the one solid, sub stantial sustainer>in the hour of con- fusion. When things go wrong a trade encourages courage.
 You may know Latin, but can you, if necessary, build a hen house? You may fill an educational position. but can you print a paper? President Harding can. You may be a clever football player, but can you make a carriage bolt out of steel? Mayor Atwater can.
 Education that does not embrace a trade is one kind Of an education, but often the demand is shy good job. Successful men will tell you that the education that does not con- tain the art of knowing some one thing and knowing this thing well, is but fancy work.
 Somewhere along the trail of life you are reasonably sure to hit a hard spot. The knowledge of a trade will help you out.
 At the Bridgeport State Trade school. 332 John street. a free public school, under the direction of the State Board of Education, you may learn any one of t>e following trades: Electrical, carpentry. painting and decorating, plumbing. printing and linotype, dressmaking, tool making, drafting, pattern-making, machine, automobile, automatic screw machine work.
 This school is open throughout the entire year. Enroll now and in 8 little over two years you will be a graduate apprentice of the trade you choose.
