The appeal Of many politicians

hatred and detraction. Their

guarantee that in its place the
nalcontent demagogues and doc

a time in our history when IL
was more important for Ameri-
cans TO be moved by judgment
rather than by passion.

OUR PREDICTION COMES TRUE.

The State Board of Education
last week re.appointed Mr.. AL
bert S. Cook as Superb tendent
of Education in this State. His
re-appointment caused no sur
prise, but at the same time he
was re-appointed, his salary was
boosted from $1,000 to $4,000.
We wonder if this latter feature
was surprising to the taxpayers
of the State, particularly those
who we're so strenuous in behalf
of the school bill passed at the
1922 session of the Legislature.
1t was not surprising to us, or
would anything else be, in the
line of increasing salaries Of
school officials and spending
money for unnecessary pur.
poses. We called the attention
of the taxpayers to the fact that
the milk in the cocanut" was
higher salaries all along the line
when we opposed the passage of
the. present law two years ago.
Our predictions have come true
and the taxpayers must carry
the burden.
We opposed the passage of the
present school law two years ago
because we believed then as we
believe now that the poor boys
and girls would not derive any
practical benefit from il, but the
school officials would get higher
salaries, and they have. School
teachers should receive adequate
salaries and this we favor, but
increase in salaries should stop
there. What are we to expect
when another disappointment of
a State School Superintendent
or a new one is made ? No other
official in the State is paid a
higher salary and only three re-
ceive an equal salary.
The taxpayers carry the bur-
den and they suffer without their
children deriving any real bene-
fit. We agree with Mr.. Dorsey
Etchison, of Frederick county, in
his opinion that the children in
the public schools do not receive
the solid practical benefits they
received years ago. The tax
payers pay the expense of oper-
ating the schools of this State
and they want their children to
obtain benefits therefrom and
not officials, in fattened pay en-
velopes.
We are calling the taxpayers
attention to this because they
shoulder the burden and for the
further reason that just what we
predicted has happened. We
want more practical work in our
schools and less theory. The
taxpayers money should be
spent so that the children in the
public schools will get the bene-
fit and not a lot of employees
under the State Board of Educa-
ton,

BURTON, FINE SELECTION.

A better selection for key
noter" and temporary chairman
of the Republican National Con-
vention could not have been
made than Theodore e. Burton.
Mr.. Burton served many years
in the House Of Representatives,
then a term in the Senate and
now is back in the House. He is
a man of great dignity and fine
ability, a statesman of the old
school in the matter of learning,
bearing and accomplishments,
the kind of a man who honors
the Republican party by belong
ing to it. Cleveland, where the
convention is to meet, is Mr..
Buttons home town and it was
a very pretty compliment the
committee paid him and his city
in asking him to act as chair
man. He will make a very nota.

THIS is AN HOUR FOR
AMERICAN OPTIMISM.

This is an hour for American
optimism. Never before in our
national history has there been a
better basis for confidence and
hope among Americans. In an
hour of worldwide storm and
stress our nation stands, strong
and secure as the Rock of Glib
raltar. Actually and relatively,
national prosperity stands at the
highest point in all our history.
In all the annals of mankind no
nation has ever reached so envi-
able position in diffused pros.

the level of life been so high, the
chance for individual advance.
ment so general, the gateways
to achievement so broadly open
for the average man or woman
as in this republic Of ours at this
moment.
Under the inspiration of the
noble traditions of our mighty
republic, dedicated from the be-
ginning to the highest ideals,
under the protection OF institu-
tions the wisest and most bene-
ficent ever established among
men, without fear or envy OF
other nations, with boundless
opportunity in reach of every
man and woman, boy and girl
possessing the ability and ener-
gy and industry to take posses
sion of bis birthright as an
American citizen, why should
we not be happy and hopeful
people, going forward with cour-
age and confidence to the higher
level of life and a wider range of
opportunism ?
But despite these boundless
blessings, pessimism is the dom
mating note in public and private
affairs. The air is filed with lu
gubrious lamentations of the
Jeremiahs and the croakings of
the chronic critics. Following
the exaltation of the war period
and the disallusion of its imme-
diate aftermath, plague of pes.

the same time those who at first feared criticise it now as too feeble to be ef- fective in maintaining peace.
 The United States should enter the permanent court of international jus. tice, not because it is an ideal tribunal or calculated in the immediate future to become a decisive factor in pronot- ing peace, but because in so doing, we will contribute to the substitution of understanding for hatred and the re- placement of suspicion and antagonism by good will and that friendliness of feeling which are indispensable to ef- fective cooperation"

LLOYD GEORGE RESENTS ATTACK
 ON LIBERALISM
Advises Laborites to Step Carefully Or Meet
 Disaster

LONDON. April 22.-In a blunt. di- rect speech that has created sensa- tion here, ex-Premier David Lloyd George has warned the labor govern ment that it cannot count on support of the liberal party unless there is a change in "the humiliating position under which the liberals are expected to maintain the government in power.
 Lloyd Georges address, delivered at Llanfair-Fechan, in Wales, Tuesday, discussed revolt" against this posi5 tion. The speech has been interpreted as a warning to the laborites to step carefully in the paths of power or else face an overwhelmingly adverse ma jority in the house of commons, which would force a general election. Let Premier Macdonald wrap his head in a wet towel and think" Lloyd George said. Then he will discover that the conservatives opposed his as- sumption of the premiership and will oust him as soon as they can. Since January, Macdonald has completely dissipated the liberals stock of good will"
 One thing is maintaining Premier Macdonald in office, namely the fact lhdt ho pHe eiSe IS cSpeCidiiy Wuilnk to take office at the present time, :" he added.
