TEACHERS PENSION
URGED BY HAYS

Clevelond. - Neither community

inability to pay the butcher, the
grocer and the landlord" said Will H.
Hays, moving picture supervisor and
former postmaster general, at con-
ference of school superintendent
here.
"The world has abandoned forever
the fallacy that any virtue, any stim-
ulus to performance, any useful quail
ity whatsoever, desires from a condi-
tion of want" said Mr.. Hays. II do
not care who has made such claims !;
they are outworn fallacies, concocted
as sop to the spineless.
81 submit that to place before our
young people the pitiful examples of
teachers who have come to the even
ing of life with no provision for de-
cent comfort, no just and reasonable
assurance of continuity of livelihood
during that period when success in
other callings bring independence as
we'll as honor, is to fend away from
the ability of personnel which our
teachers and our children must COM
mand if civilization it to advance.

agent of the taxpayer"

MINERS DEAD
Reported Last Year More
Than Two Thousand

Washington. - There were 2,171
deaths in the coal mines of this coun-
try last year, according to the United
States Bureau of Mines. Of this
number 1,724 fatal accidents occurred
in soft coal mines and 447 in the
anthracite fields.
The mine output for the year is
estimated at 400, 755,000 tons of BIZ
luminous and 76,734,000 tons of
anthracite. The fatality rate per
million tons of coal mined was $50 for
bituminous and 5.83 for anthracite,
with total of 38l for the entire in
dustry.
The figures show slight fatality
increase in the bituminous fields over
the previous year.
Falls of mine roof and coal are
responsible for practically one-half of
these deaths. Proper timbering by
management would minimize these
falls.

New York.-The grand council OF
the Fascist party in Italy has an
nounced candidates for the chamber
of deputies, according to cable dis
patches from that country.
The election, to be held March "a,
will be formality, as a citizen can
vote for no candidate unless the candi-
date is approved by the grand council.
The autocracy Of this plan can be
understood if it were supposed that
the republican party-the major
party in the United States-selected
candidates for congress through its
national committee, and controlled
the army and judiciary so completely
that no other candidates would be per-
mitted to run.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
b, F. A. WALK ER
THE OLD LIBERTY POLE

TT WAS In 1776 that the Liberty
pole which stood in "The Fields"
outside Of the city Of New York was
chopped down by order OF the British
governor.
Nearly century and a half after
that event, a replica OF the mast was
set up by the Sons Of the Revolution
and Historical society close to the
original spot In City Hall park.
No symbol of Revolutionary days,
and the events which led to the
foundation of the American republic,
could express more clearly than this
flagstaff the change In public senti-
ment which brought about the Decla-
ration Of independence and the Con.
stitutlon.
When the first Of five Liberty poles
was put up In 1895 the colonists had
not become nationalists. Their Idea
Of freedom was not independence.
They did not want to go their own
way. All that was to come later.
1t was on the birthday Of George
III and to celebrate the repeal of the
Stamp Act that the original pole was
erected. The ceremonies were marked
by expressions Of loyalty and general
satisfaction. But this was not to last
for long.
What the Americans of that day
had objected TO was the way In which
the British parliament had treated
them.
They could see no reason why
British subjects living on this side
of the Atlantic should not enjoy the
same rights as British subjects on
the other side Of the Atlantic. They
objected as "Englishmen" to what
they called the un-English things 9th.
er Engishmen In London had done
to them.
II the first Liberty pole was asso-
ciated with good will to the king over
the water, the other four poles which
succeeded II took on a different sig
nificance
The authorities came to dislike the
they were cut down as having bad
influence.
The last pole was erected in TITO
after some opposition. 1t stayed in
place as rallying point for the
Sons of Liberty, until the year 1776,
when 1t was removed in the midst of
the excitement caused by the revolu-
ton
The site of the Liberty pole IS thus
one of the historic spots associated
with the final and new freedom
These include Washington's pew in
st. Paul's church. the place on the
treasury steps at Wall street where
the first President was sworn In
and the little park at Bowling Green
where stood the leaden statue of King
George which was pulled down and
melted into bullets for the use of the
American soldiers

Why We Do
What We Do
WHY WE ARE ALL ALIKE
by NJ. X. THOMSON. Ph. d.

MO TWO of us are exactly alike In
~ every respect. Yet by virtue of
the fact that we are human beings we
share like qualities. We are all alike
In kind. We differ only in degree
We all have the common human In
stincts of hunger, sex, curiosity, ex-
cept that one or more of these Inn
pulses are stronger in some than In
others. In one person the instinct Of
curiosity may be completely overcome
by the emotion of fear while mother
person might have this impulse alb
normally developed as In the vicious
forms Of gossip.
The same Is true of all the other
human qualities of body and mind
Heredity, training, education, likes
and dislikes both native and acquired
make g difference as to the exact
or some other mental trait will have
In any given case Nevertheless we
all possess these traits In varying de-
grees.
1t Is on the basis Of these common
psyc ic human traits that we inter.
pret conduct. Human nature is no
exception to the rule that nothing ever
happens without a cause. When you
see broken window pane you know
that something happened to It. You
may not be able to tell whether 1t was
struck by a ball, stone, club or
something else, but you are certain
some force was applied.
Similarly there is cause or motive
for every human act. Why do we
laugh, cry, ETC., sleep. dream, get
angry, run away from danger, grow
old, die, suffer pain, feel sorrow, and
do many other things peculiar to hu-
man beings? There Is always some
cause or causes for every act.
Sometimes II Is very difficult to de-
termine the true motive. Life Is q
tangled skein and motives are highly
complex. What often seems like a
real motive may turn out to be ra.
tiOnalization. the reason we give for
doing what we want to do The sci.
ence OF motivation Is the latest and
one of the most interesting anc useful
studies in psychology.
