TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
, Curtis and the Farmers

The landslide to Senator Charles Curtis Of Kansas
when his name was submitted to the republican ma
tional convention as a candidate for vice president
indicates the alarm felt by the republican leaders over
the attitude assumed by the agricultural interests OF
the Middle West and Northwest after the convention
had refsued TO endorse the minority report on farm
relief.
That Curtis will be a strong man on the ticket,
must be admitted. He has a large following through
out the western agricultural states, but whether his
influence will be sufficient to hold those states IN line
cannot be ascertained until the ballots are counted in
November. The western farmers, though opposed 70
Hoover, would have been satisfied had the convention
offered them something substantial in the way OF
farm relief! but the convention offered nothing but
generalities.
The Middle West also realizes that Curtis as vice
president win be merely a figurehead; that he will not
have the influence or power he now exerts as q United
States senator. and that in the event he is elected they
will lose one Of their most able champions and gain
nothing.
Western farmers will regard the nomination OF
Curtis merely as an effort to plaeate them without
granting their demands for farm relief. In fact, the
party platform offers relief in no form, either through
tariff adjustemnt, as proposed by the democrats, or
through the medium Of the equalization fee plan pro-
posed by the proponents of the McNary-Haugen bill.
Instead Of relief the farmers ere offered an empty
honor, which may arouse more resentment against re-
publican policies than support for the ticket.
While the nomination Of Senator Curtis may be
placed in the category Of good politics. one OF the
most surprising factors connected with it is the fact
that he accepted It. Like Lowden, he was an ardent
eexponent Of the equalization fee program Of the Nc
bill, and Lowden refused to permit his
name to 20 before the convention after that body had
accepted the majority report of the resolutions COM
mittee outlining the issues upon which the coming
presidential battle will be fought. Neither Curtis nor
his constituents are in sympathy with the party plat
. y. e Ill. ---.hr 4h.t lie ;nfiuarra will
be sufficient to completely change the views of those
farmers he has represented in the United States senate.

The British chancellor of the exchequer's recent an
nouncement Of a rebate on pneumatic-tired lorries NAV
be regarded as a sign of growing official recognition
that noise, like smoke, is a public nuisance.
Unlike the companion question Of traffic, which is
~palpable and measurable, noise can not be readily
measured, and since it does not impede movement in
its physical aspect, its growth has been tolerated until,
increasing by imperceptible degrees, it has reached an
intensity that can nc longer be ignored.
Not all the clash and clang OF arms at Marathon
could have equaled the commotion of a modern high
power trolley car passing through the streets Of an
American city. Yet the car passes almost unnoticed
In the general metallic roar Of railway, elevated
pneumatic riveters, concrete mixers, heavy trucks, self
starters, loud-speakers and the multiplicity Of bells.
Whistles and horns, not to mention the intimation Of
new styles in noise from aircraft overhead.
1t is probable that each Of the noise makers can Al
vance reasons TO show that the racket of his particular
machine is necessary for its proper functioning. But
there can be no doubt that noise is rs much an exnres-
sion of some imperfection in human progress as were
the Manchester slums in the early DAYS Of the mower
loom. When the main condition of a power-driyen re-
frigerator was that II should be perfectly silent. the
inventor required additional time and thought to design
ms machine, but design it he did. And il similar CON-
dition were to be imposed on designers If the srrident
and earth-shaking devices that multiply 50 luxuriantlv
around the city streets, it may be presumed that hui
man ingenuity will soon find means to remove the IN
desirable features.
Problems of silencing may not be SO interesting 70
the inventor as the initial designing Of the machine:
they may cause delays in the completion of the model:
a necessary part Of the work. for business efficiency
and professional acumen alike will demand that the
thinking process Of the city be allowed to proceed un-
hampered by unnecessary noise.

s~TABrLIzING TEACHER PERSONNEL
~fBirmingham Newsl


One of the problems of mass education is to supply
teachers for the increasing millions of youths who are
guaranteed, as a fundamental American guarantee, free
grammar and high school education.
Surely the colleges and universities are providing
sufficient trained men and women for this purpose.
Where, then, lies the difficulty?
The paramount problems lies in inducing men and
women to embrace the teaching profession-men and
women who are unqualifiedly fitted for educational
work. The diploma awarded at the end Of a college or
university course by no means carries with it q guar
antee Of fitness TO teach. What state and municipal
and rural schools have to search for are men and
women eapacitsted both by training and inclination
men and women with a passion for impartingA human
knowledge to the young generations.
One Of the problems that so long have vexed boards
of education is the salary problem. That is being
solved rapidly. The right Of teachers to a living wage
is being recognized. The tendency is still further to
make educational appropriations sufficient to save our
instructors from slovenliness and dowdiness-to permit
them to face the world without a feeling Of hopeless
poverty.
One other thing that is being done to assure men
and women who honestly seek to make education their
calling is to provide retirement funds. The Birming-
ham News Is heartily glad that this matter came up
at the Birmingham board of education meeting on
Friday last. The board is for Il. The board signified
its willingness to aid the teachers themselves in es-

Construction operations increased during the month
of MAY, according to statistics compiled by the Asso-
ciated General Contractors Of America. The rise last
month, however, was not sufficiently great to bring
the May total up to the mark recorded for the GORE
spending month one year ago, when a new record for
that period Of the year was set. The statistics are
based upon actual shipments of basic construction
material.
According TO the reports Of the organization the
total amount Of construction work of all types han
died during the first five months Of this year is less
than the volume recorded for the first five months of
1927. The present total is so close to the figure es-
tablished during the record-breaking months of last
year, however, that no significance is attached to the
latest Developments.
Indication that the slight deficiency will be wiped
out during the summer months is found in the large
volume Of contracts awarded for future work. The
volume Of contracts awarded during April was the
greatest ever registered for a single month, exceeding
the March total by s.5 per cent. The total volume OF
contracts awarded during the first four months of
1928 is more than s per cent greater than the cora
spending figure for 1927.
Building is usually regarded as a clear iadex TO
national conditions, and the records for the past two
years have reflected the almost uniform prosperity of
the country. While there has been a gradual slowing
up in some sections, this has been equalized by in
creases in others, and that the country as a whole IS
enjoying practically the same prosperous conditions
that obtained throughout 1927 is indicated in the
building reports.

There are today a great many small lines serving ~

THE SCHOOLS ARE NOT A PROPAGANDA MILL
Dallas News).

When the W.. C. +. U. put the picture Of an alcohol
picked stomach in the psychology textbooks OF the
schools Of the country it started something more than
the mere discontinue of the Demon Rum. OF late the
public utilities OF the country have discovered that the
same method in a slightly less assertive form can be
turned to their private benefit without the ~publics
being consulted. The thing has aroused something Of
a furore in other states. But it has been going on in
Texas without much il any complaint
The public utility men, Of course, have not dehb-
erately sought to corrupt the thought Of the citizenry.
From their point Of view it was a public-spirited at
emp. to encourage an understanding OF a rather diff
cult public utility problem growing out Of the rise in
prices Of materials and Of wages following the war.
1t is probably true that these men never gave thought
to the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of a practice whereby imma-
ture minds are burdened by special pleading to which
there is no rebuttal.
II is the idea of the utility men that they present
the facts" There are facts and facts. Selective facts
Admittedly the purpose which ~justifies the use Of pub
lie utility funds in the eyes Of public utility stock
holders is that Of presenting such facts and comment
as will influence the student to a favorable conclusion
one contrary. perhaps, to the conclusion which he
would have arrived ut without such presentation. In
short, the utility dollar is buying public opinion. not
by bribery, but by planting it in minds still unmolded.
The thing is not good for Texas. Il shames the
management Of any school where this sort Of thing IS
regularly authorized. In debating classes and similar
groups, where biased facts and alleged facts are open
ly hndled as such and subjected to examination, sucn
h~andbooks and brochures as the press agents Of utility
companies produce may be proper. But as high school
texts or books Of reference used without question, they
become an invasion of the proper office of public free
schools and ought to be rejected as such.
