In a nutshell, his |reason is: “The present rulers of Russia do not rule by the will or consent of any considerable proportion |of the Russian people.” In other words, because it jisn’t a representative Russian government in any sense. Wilson tells why, and how, he arrived at this con- clusion, ' tion in the two and a half years they have been in power; Because they represent an inconsiderable minority of the Russian people ; Because the “existing regime in Russia is based upon the of international law.” One may infer from the president’s note that he will con- sent to recognition if the present Russian regime makes an honest effort to become truly representative of the Russian people. And he’s wiling to call off all foreign armies to give Lenin-Trotzky this opportunity.’ The president believes that a popular election in Russia, including (counting) the votes of all Russians (peasant as well as city laborer) would return an overwhelming majority against Bolshevism. Lenin and Trotzky have welcomed the presence of foreign troops in Russia as an excuse for with- holding the vote fram the vast majority of Russian citizens. Lenin and Trotzky are no more anxious to give the Russian people a voice in their government than the late czar’s gov- ernment was inclined to permit rule by the people. If Wilson's note can but reach the submerged majority of Russians, those disfranchised by Czar Nicholas and by Czar Lenin alike, it will make the solving of the Russian problem muth easier. It will do more than allied troops, more than any blockade, in bringing liberty and a voice in government to all Russia. The day is coming when they will see and understand Wilson's note. When that time arrives, Bolshev- ism as pra¢ticed in Petrograd and Moscow will crumble, and a real democracy will rise in Russia. 66 . 9 Saying a Mouthful “We think it ts just as important to save a man’s life from disease as it ls to save his property from fire.”——Mayor Samuel A.

Month of drowmy days and hot, sleepless nights! The poets have little of good to say of it. And yet few months present such a record of substantial, epoch- making achievement as this same lazy August. On August 11, ‘1807, Robert Fulton successfully eafled his first steamboat. On August 15, 1914, the United States opened the Panama canal to navigation. : . An August 7, 1858, the first cable memage was flashed across the Atlantic, On August 23, 1818, the first transatlantic steamboat was launched. Each of these August achievements was a landmark of human »rogress, but August's otherwise brilliant record was badly marred on August 1, 1914, when the kaiser declared war on civilization and the train of evil he started haan't stopped yet. ° ee On With Publicity - . When !t comes to publicity disgracing the ordinary sinner, no law or precedent is discovered that will interfere. . The war department intends to publish the lst of draft evaders, some 173,000 names, which looks like an effort to add exofficia punishment to the punishment prescribed by statute. This may be a good thing to do and 48 soon as Secretary Baker tries it out, we're Kole to ask him to step into the attorney general's office and persua him to publish @ list of the profiteers and big tax-evaders.

Not “Matty” Baseballdom 1s grievingt ‘Cause Christy Mathewson ts reported sick of tuberculosis tn a sani- tarium at Saranac Lake, N. Y. And now a little pet worry in the hearts of thousands of baseball tans is cleared up. ‘ A short time ago “Big Six” quit his job as coach of the New York Giants. Rumor spread that Matty had stepped out because the team was in @ slump, and that the grand old pitcher was tired of the game. Devotees of Mathewson as a man, and of “Matty” as a ball player, couldn't believe that he would quit when a team was down. He wasn't that sort’ of a fellow. And how could Christy ever really tire of the great American game? Tuberculosis is enough to take the baseball pep out of any man. That is why Matty laid off for @ spell. He wasn’t a quitter, ° ° Passing of the Pipe It ts not only\Sir Robert Baden-Powell of England who regrets to see the younger generation almost wholly given over to the cigaret.

A man éan’t grow friendly with a cignret—there is something fitp and impersonal about it.

Staff Correspondent) OAKLAND, Cal, Aug. 11.—There are 25,000,000 people in the United States who cannot read an omiinary newspaper! This appalling revelation of Miter acy, made recently to the National | Education Association, hae startled | the teachers of the nation to action, and a dual program to back the Smith-Towner bill in congress and to enlist more and better recruits in the army of teachers thru higher salaries is being pushed as the one big job for American educators. Fred M. Hunter, newly elected president of the N. EB. A, considers the filiteracy problem the most alarming thing in the nation, and maye that the only way to combat witty the light of education. “Do you want to know what is the matter with America?” asked Hunt- er, who is head of the Oakland school aystem, one of the most ad- vanced in America. “The recent draft revealed the shocking fact that about one in four Americans cannot read and write, EXODUS OF "Ke TEACHERS CRITICAL “On the other hand this need for education is coupled with just as alarming an exodus from the profes sion of our best young men and women because of the low salaries, paid.” Here are some of the startling facts given out by Hunter: “There are Between 33,000,000 and 35,000,000 foreign-born or children of foreign-born in the United States, usually crowded about the industrial centers. It is here where ignorance flourishes, whepe the seeds of Bol sheviem find fertile soll, and largely where a quarter of our population cannot read a newspaper. “Opt of the 25,000,000 children of school age, 10 million go to school under teachers who have had no pro- Read,Says N.E.Man fennional training other than a high school education. “Over 7 million go to teachers un der 21 years of age, and 3 million to teachers with no high school edu cation. “Last year there were 18,000 schools clomed for lack of teachers, and in New York City last winter | 70,000 children were out of school for the same reason. “California will open echool this year with 400 rural teachers short. Men are leaving the profession faster than the women. Thirty years ago 27 per cent of the teachers were men. In 1918 only 17 per cent, or one in five, are men. “Normal schools are opentng with ® third or fourth lems attendants than formerly. TME REASON OF IT ALL “The average salary paid elemen- tary school teachers tn the United States ts $606 a year. “California, at the top, pays $291; Washington, $483; District of Colum- bia, $579, and Masgachusetts, $809. “Georgia, at the bottom, pays $314; Florida, $361; West Virginia, $385, and Maine, $406. “The average high school salary in the United States is $1,031. The Dis. trict of Columbia Js highest, Califor | nia second, Utah’ third and Masse chusetts fourth. “We must get our best young men and women into teaching,” said Hunter. “Medicine, law, journalism, furnish the pull that our profession lacks. “A profession needs four things: economic return, permanency and outlook, social contribution, and tn- *piration to loyalty. Teaching haa the last two things, but must fur nish the fire t uate salaries and a future career, “For this reason we are behind ‘the Smith-Towner bill that would estab- lish government aid to the profes sion, “It is @ national problem and must be met nationally.” === We'll Say So——= TODAY'S BEST BET—Trying to figure out a ponzl. eee ‘The only difference between Ponzi and the other profiteers is that Ponai got pinched, oe Ponzi dealt in stamps.
