THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) <i> BOOSTING CENSUS Ten years ago Morristown, N. J., had a popu- lation of 12,507. Morristown hasn’t expanded much, but citizens kept right on giving their town credit for 12,507. But the other day the census man, down in Washington, made public Morristown’s 1920 cen- sus figures—12,505. “Two shy,” Morristowners exclaimed. comes it?” “Census figures are wrong,” asserted the coun- ty prosecutor. “I’ve got the correct total.” “How is it you know more about this matter than the census bureau?” inquired the disap- pointed Morristowners. “Girl baby this morning at my house,” he explained; “a boy baby at my sister’s home. Two plus what the census man added up equals what we had ten years ago.” And thus doth Morristown amble along for an- other decade secure in the knowledge that there are 12,507 of ’em. tor “How n “CAMPAIGN CHARGES. Governor Cox has adopted the La Follette style of campaigning. He has reverted to the muck- raking tactics that were popular a few years ago but decidedly discredited now because blanket accusations in absence of proof are merely advanced to produce prejudice in the minds of the gullible. If Mr. Cox has proof that the Republi, can National Committee is trying to raise a cam- paign fund of $15,000,000, he should produce it. The Republican managers have announced that individual contributions will be limited to $1,000. On the other hand Taggart, Charles T. Murphy and his Tammany cohorts have stated that the sky is the limit on political contributions. It is known that they are combing every Democratic center for money and that‘every federal office holdet’ feels that: he is. expected to come to the aid of the party in a most material manner. It is: the general-impression that Mr. Cox has pitched the campaign on a very low level. Por- tion$ of his acceptance speech were devoted to cheap political tirade. He is following the key sounded then in his recent addresses. Bald assertions without the facts are not going to impress anyone and they will go a long way toward breaking down any confidence the Ameri- can voters may have in the Democratic presiden- tial candislate. THEY GO TO SCHOOL Next month 24,000,000 children are going to return to school. Some to the country school; some to more elaborate buildings of the cities. Some of them will see “teacher” for the first time: Ruddy-faced, shined up for fair, pig-tails hanging down their backs and “highwater marks” temporarily eliminated, these little boys and girls, many of them, are to make their bows as pupils. What are they going to find? Reducing the 700,000 teachers to a composite picture, “she,” for 80 per cent of the teachers are women, will be found to be an underpaid person, trying her best to keep body and soul together as'‘she teaches the young idea how to shoot, and almost ‘afraid to ask the school board for the raise it ought to be glad to give her without asking. J. W. Crabtree, secretary of the National Edu- cation Association, says that last year 18,000 po- sitions of teachers remained vacant. He expects a much higher percentage this year. He says that last year 42,000 teachers’ positions were filled by teachers who did not hold even the low- est grade of certificates so as to keep the schools going at all. The reason—only one—poor pay. Better pay up. A little more pay for the teacher in this country will be a mighty good investment, taxpayers are beginning to believe. BREAD The world need not go hungry this winter. The world has plenty of wheat to feed itself. All that is needed is sufficient intelligence to get the wheat to the places where it is needed in order that men may have bread enough and to spare. The International Institute of Agriculture at Rome reports from figures it has gathered that there were on April 1, 1920, a total of 10,500,000 metric tons of wheat and rye available for ship- ment from the grain exporting countries of the world (6,000,000 tons in North America, 3,200,000 tons in South America, and 1,300,000 in Aus- tralia).. This, be it noted, takes no account of ~ The countries that have to import, wheat and rye to feed their people, will require between April 1 and the periods of their respective harvests 8,- 100,000 metric tons. Consequently, it is apparent that the stocks at the beginning of April were sufficient not only to supply“all requirements up to harvest time, in the northern hemisphere, but also to leave a surplus available in the coming season. On the basis of the figures presented, this surplus was 2,400,000 metric tons on August 1. Earth and rain and sun ave done their duty. It is up to mankind to ma! e sure the results. Job Brinton and “Marse” Jim can now “tell it 20} to the judge.” Says Lloyd George to Baron Wrangel: If you’ve got to wrangle, wrangle by yourself. Malice and hatred are very fretting and apt to make our minds sore and uneasy.—Tillotson, In some quarters Wilson’s note to France is in- terpreted as an effort: to get the Poles to the polls. Ex-bartenders are taking out accident insurance since a sundae mixer was killed by the explosion of a soda fountain. Railroads are using movies to teach autoists to avoid erossing accidents while the kids are using them to learn train-robbing. i \ EDITORIAL REVIEW ou Cpe ete hae Rie” Ay oe 6 opinions o; e Tribune, They are sented here in order vhat our aldes of im) important is iasues which ae being ng discussed ia ‘a the press of entation oncom ncaa ene ween, BE UNAFRAID, BUT SLOW ON PROMISES By Calvin Coolidge Republican Nominee for Vice President, in a * Speech at Boston to the Republican Club ‘of Massachusetts We must look to the past for guidance, but to ourselves for success. To despise the past is to destroy the future. It is not in a desire for con- stant change, but satisfaction in the contempla- tion of established truth, as well as unyielding effort for improvement, that character in men and parties is revealed. It is desirable to restore our government to a more even balance. Representative government ceases to represent when its decisions reflect any opinion but its own, or result from any ‘influence, high or low, under whatever guise or name, whether of property or men, save a desire to pro- mote the public welfare. There is need of a strong Executive, but there is need of a correspondingly strong Congress. And ‘the greatest need of: all is that each should co- operate with the other, functioning according to the Constitution. .The first thought of the found- ers was to put their own house in order. It is well to remember that. We are Americass. Whatever we accomplish must be as Americans. A gigantic task lies before us. I have confi- dence that it will be performed because I have seen the leaders of our party disregard personal preferences for the public good by making mutual concessions to honest opinions, patriotically held, to secure agreement to a sound platform and the choice of a wise leader. Ibelieve in Warren G. Harding. He is too much engaged in doing good to his fellow countrymen to find time to abuse any-of them, too intent on solv- ing his country’s problems to pay any attention to the abuse of others. Public.information is bound to increase forjhim public approval. ‘ Honoring and respecting his fellow countrymen, he is bound to grow in their honor and respect.. A sound man, tried in the fire of public service, unwarped and unafraid. Our country must reconstruct itself. The prod? igal wastefulness, in private life and public admin- istration, must either cease or there will be danger of a severe economic reaction. We must have less of government interference in business and more reliance of the people in themselves. Our great war debts must be met, but by a system of taxa- tion that rests evenly on the broad shoulders of the great public. The times are troubled, people are in a ferment. Unrest prevails at home, discord is too prevalent abroad. No man and no party ought to be rash enough to promise the performance of plans for long in advance. It is a time when all must feel their way from day to d@y. But there is no excuse for failure to do our hest. There will be doubt, there: will be hesitation, there may be local disorders, but the heart of America is sound. Her people as a whole under- stand and believe in her institutions with a faith and a loyalty never surpassed by the people of any other country. \ The dedisions in this election will turn, not on an attitude toward world politics, but on the atti- tude toward the home. The wives and mothers of the land, directly or indirectly, are going to exert a mighty influence on the result of this cam- paign. They believe im patriotism and common sense. Ultimately they will make their choice, and they will make it according to the Republi- can standard, not in response to the inquiry, “Will it pay?” but in response to that other inquiry, which searches the soul of the universe, “Is it} . Russian wheat, which is not considered available. | right?” BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUN! ‘SHE KNOWS HOW SHE GOT HER VOTE: CC HOW SUFFRAGE WAS OBTAINED REPUBLICAN , THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1920’ lc Q RATIFIED THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT REQUIRED RATIFICATION BY 36 STATES STATES DEMOCRATIC STATES “RATIFIED, INCLUDING TENNESSEE WHERE TH Washington, British are \evidently still taking an active hand in our domestic affairs.

PERSON unfamiliar with dream lore might wake up after dream- ing of a shroud with a feeling that he had seen an evil. omen and be, con- sequettily, depressed in spirits. He would be quite wrong. A shroud may | not: be altogether a pleasant thing to see in one’s dreams, but it is accounted by nearly all the soothsayers to be a favorable omen to dream of that grue- some object. For one thing such a dream signifies that you are to inherit some money. It is true, though, say the wise ones, that seeing a shroud in a dream is a warning to the dreamer to take better care of his health or he will have a fit of illness which will in- terfere with his business. But it ts merely a tendency to illness which fs predicted nd not illness itself. If you ure careful of your health your business will prosper and your fortune increase. If you dream that you see a shroud removed from a dead person you might wake up with affright at the ghastly sight. But really there would be no evil omen In the dream which would call for any worrying. The worst that it could mean would be that you are going to have some little strife and contention with a person with whom you least expected to have trouble. But the difficulty will be of short du- ration; you will get the best of the argument and all will be smooth suil- Ing again. In looking over many hun- dreds, or rather thousands, of dream Interpretations which tiave been hand- ed down from generation to generation it is found that the saying “Dreams go dy contraries” does not apply so fre- quently as is generally supposed. But the dream of a shroud is one of the eases where it does, So cheer up If you have this disagreeable dream, ‘Think’ of the coming legacy and the flourishing of your business.
