Vote for James.

Ii James !. Becswax is elected
when bleak November comes along,
well be no more distressed, detected,
we'll chant a blithc and chcery
song; great things OF James may be
expected. and he'll abolish every
wrong. I've heard him tell in words
that glitter how he will rcnd old ills
apart; the toilers' lot, he says, is
bitter. they're bosscd by CroeSus of
the mart; and James will squelch
that noxious critter, who has no
conscience. soul or heart. The tax
collector grindS our faces, and James
will put the taxes down; the prof.
tecr. who now embraces the assets
OF the groaning town, must wilt, for
James is keeping cases on him and
al. his punk rcnown. Old, costly
ways will be discarded, OH modern
lines things will be done; the wheels
of progress, now retarded, will fairly
whiz when James has won; the
treasury will then be guarded with
vigilance, from sun to sun. It's true
that James has never shown us ca
pacity to do and dafe, although at
times he's freely thrown us a lot of
luperheated air; at other times he's
lied to bone us for any coin we had
o spare. He's failed at everything
he's tackled, at shearing goats, at
making tents; throughout his life he
as been shackled by all the sloth OF
hiftless gents; the village gossips
ong have cackled that he'd be dear
20 cents. Some say his promises
are hollow, they have him classed
with sidcshow freaks; yet many
voters seem to swallow the bunk
he's handed them for weeks; yea,
there are mu titudes who follow and
cheer HIM roundly when he speaks.

Asiatic Station Vessels Leave fol-

Reinforcements from the Asiatic
naval squadrons of the United States,
Great Britain, France and Japan have
been ordered to Shanghai to protect
their nationals during the clash be-
tween the rival tuchuns Of the adjoin-
ing provinces of Chekiang and
Kiangsu.
The vast harbor Of Shanghai is oc-
cupied by the ships of many nations,
and DR.. Wellington koo, the Peking
foreign minister, after being told that
every means possible would be en-
ployed to protect the various nationals,
was advised further by the diplomatic
agents Of the four powers, acting to-
gether that a naval battle in those
waters could not be tolerated.
Officials here familiar with the situa-
ton involving Shanghai have expressed
fear that a conflict between the forces
of the rival military governors might
lead to general warfare in China, de-
spite that the chief bone of contention
appears to be control over the Office of
defense commissioner Of Shanghai, now
held by Gen. Ho Feng-Lin, a relative
of the Cheliang tuchun, although the

.TIGERT RAPS SCHOOL
SYSTEM OF DISTRICT
U. S. Commissioner of Education
Says Washington Has About
Poorest of Large Cities.

While telling of education as an es-
sential to community welfare, United
States Commissioner Of Education John
j. Tigert yesterday declared that the
city of Washington has about the poor
est schools of any large city in the
country. He was speaking before the
Wapiya Club at a luncheon in the Uni
versity Club.
Business prosperity and advance
ment in a community are corollary to
adequate educational facilities" said
Commissioner Tigert. He cited where
certain States, which had been back
ward in business and financial progress,
had advanced at great speed following
the providing for an adequate educa-
tional system He told also of the
greater amount of education demanded
today for the professional man.
In some parts of the country in the
old days. he said, it mattered not so
much whether or not a lawyer knew
much law so long as he knew his
jury-under which situation he could
sway them. Likewise, he said, in
some of the rural districts, particular
ly. all that was necessary in order
for a man to practice medicine was
for him Ito grow beard little
longer than the average person, to do
a little talking to his patients and
give them "A cure alr pill" Today,
he continued, it is demanded of the
professional man that he be highly
trained.
In conclusion he emphasized the
unwillingness on the part of many
people to see adequate sums of money
spent on education. More money is
spent on cigarettes than is spent for
schools. Women spend more money
on cosmetics than is spent for
schools" he said. He then illustrat ed
where communities with an abund-
ance of raw materials had failed to
prosper, due to the lack of knowledge
of how to utilize those materials.
