WANTED!

The following advertisements lately appeared in the same issue of the Raleigh (North Carolina) News and Observer: WANTED- — A. colored barber for white trade in camp town; permanent position. We guarantee $25 a week. Right man can make $35 per week. Let us hear from you at once. Fleming & Elliott, 6 Market Square, Fayetteville, N. C. WANTED —Teacher of Latin for the Lumberton high school, Lumberton, N. C. Salary, S7O, W. H. Cale, superintendent. An army officer stationed at Raleigh sent the two clippings to the field secretary of the National Education association, with a .letter asking: “What incentive is there for a person to prepare himself to teach in a high school when a colored barber in the same town, who probably cannot sign his own name, can make as much in two weeks as a high school teacher can make in a month?” Susan B. Anthony told a convention of teachers many years ago that any profession carried mainly by persons who could not vote was. sure to be undervalued in public estimation, and underpaid. Add to this that the teachers have been mostly unorganized and you have the case in a nut shell—Woman Citizen.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, MAY 26, 1919.

MANY CHANGES OF FRONT.

Washington, May 26.—The Republican Publicity association today, through its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., gave out the following statement from its Washington headquarters: ‘The first written message which President Wilson has presented to congress, transmitted by cable under date of May 20th, is couched in language which would be regarded as were it not for the suspicions which are entertained of his ambitions for the success of his league of nations scheme. But when it is considered that he has made every sacrifice abroad of American interests, and of his Own enunciated principles, solely for the purpose of rescuing his league from the political welter, one is inclined to watch warily his soft approach. Since he passed up his country’s interests to put the league covenant across at the peace conference, it is quite possible that he would set aside the principles of his party for the purpose of allaying criticism and inducing acceptance of his league scheme by the republican majority. “On its face the message records several radical changes of mind. The labor question partakes of a generous share of his message. ‘We canknot live our right life as a nation industrial community if capital and or achieve our proper success as an’ labour (English spelling) are to continue to be antagonistic instead of being partners,’ he warns. Quite true, and that which has most tended to create antagonisms between the two has been the vicious policy of class legislation prevalent during Mr. Wilson’s administration, and which Senator Thomas, (Democrat) so sternly rebuked in the senate in the last session of congress. For years capitalism has been held up by Mr. Wilson and his party as the vampire of American industry. He wants our returned soldiers speedily employed. So do the republicans, and they made provision for it months ago, but their bill was squelched by Mr. Wilson. Our great shipyards are to be opened to the world, but it was on account of administrative decree that they were closed to the world for months, and millions of dollars of orders went elsewhere. “Now he wants an early reconsideration of federal taxes, the same to rest as lightly as possible on the productive resources of the country. Formerly he stood for the utmost taxation of production, and for no protection to industry. He sees no immediate need of an entire tariff revision, because of the strain to which European industries have been subjected, and this may find some approval from the republican congress, not for this, reason, but because of the great difficulty in these abnormal times of correct ascertainment of wage-scales and production costs. - Mr. Wilson does, however, < intimate that ‘special consideration should be given’ to the dyestuffs and related industries. But who does not remember when Mr. Wilson was an uncompromising free trader? ‘Our tariff laws as they now stand,’ he continues, ‘provide no weapon of retaliation in case other governments should enact legislation unequal m its bearings on our products as compared with the products Of other countries.’ But formerly Mr. Wilson denounced the republican maximum and minimum clause in the tariff act of 1909, which put a stop to that very thing. “The wires and the railroads he wants restored to private ownership as speedily as practicable, “® fought tooth and nail when the law was drafted to make government holding subject to his own sweet will. He again comes out for equal suffrage, and this time there will be no big talk and little accomplishment. The republicans are for it and will grant it. The entire message is tame by comparison with former ones, artfully worded to conciliate antileaguers, if possible, and framed apparently with the republican program before him for which he hopes to secure the major part of the credit.”

INDIANA SOLONS GIVEN PRESTIGE

NEW AND WATSON HAVE MOST IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENTS. Washington, May 23.—Indiana’s senators have fared exceptionally well in the framing of the republican committee slate, reported completed today by the committee on committees. It is proposed Senators Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and Warren, of Wyoming, for chairmanship of the finance and appropriation committees, respectively, despite the opposition of the progressives. The committee slate will be presented at a conference of republican senators to be held next Monday before the convening of the senate. The progressives at that time are expected to take final action in opposition to Senators Penrose and Warden, but it was reported tonight that the factional troubles would be settled in the conference and probably not reach the senate floor. Chairmanship Assignments. The chairmanship assignments are understood to have been agreed upon by the committee on committees today, as follows: Foreign relations, Lodge, Massachusetts; finance, Penrose, Pennsylvania; appropriations, Warren, 'Wyoming; military affairs, Wadsworth, New York; naval affairs, Page, Vermont; judiciary, Nelson, Minnesota; interstate commerce, Cummins, of Iowa; agriculture; Gronna, North Dakota; commerce, Jones, Washington; Knox, Pennsylvania; public lands, Smooth Utah; privileges ' and elections, Dillingham, Vermont; manufactures, LaFollette, Wisconsin; education and labor, Kenyon, Iowa; mines, Poindexter, Washington; immigration, Colt, Rhode Island; Indian affairs, Curtis, Kansas; irrigation and reclamation, McNary, Oregon; Philippines, Harding, Ohio; printing, Mose, New Hampshire; library, Brandege, Connecticut. Three new members of the foreign relations committee reported chosen were Senators New, Indiana; Harding, Ohio, and Mose, New Hampshire. The selection of Senator Watson for places on the finance and the interstate commerce committees and Senator New on the foreign relations and military committees gives Indiana immense prestige in the United States senate'. Recognition Is Unusual. K iNo pair of senators from any state in the union has committee assignments of such importance as these to which Watson and New have just been assigned. This unusual recognition comes to them early, each having served only two years in senate. Senator New’s name was given consideration at the request of Senator Lodge, chairman of the foreign relations committeg.i Mr. New had not aspired to such a lofty place and he was given a surprise when the republican senate leader expressed the wish that he be assigned to the committee, which will receive the peace treaty. Senator New and Senator Lodge hold similar views on the league of nations and many of the subjects involved in the peace treaty. The Indiana junior senator is not satisfied with the present league covenant and~he is not very keen about a league of nations of any kind. Senator Moses, another antijeaguer, also is to go on the foreign relations committee. Senator New already has been a member of the military committee and he is to retain that place. . Senator Watson will serve on the two most powerful senate committees dealing with domestic questions. The finance committee, which is his new assignment, handles all tariff and revenue matters!, and the. interstate commerce committee, which assignment he retains from the last session, will deal with the railroad problem, the most important domestic question before congress. Senator Watson served for many years as a member of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives and this fact led to the request that he be assigned to the senate finance committee.

INCENDIARY BURNED LARGE BUILDING NEAR KNIMAN.

<The large barn on the Soringer ranth near Kniman was burned early this morning. The building was 24 by 60 feet and had been erected at a’ considerable expense and was used by the Premier Farms association for their large swine business in that locality. The fire was discovered in time to save the hogs, except few young pigs. Mr. Hurley, who lives on the farm, is quite certain that the fire was of incendiary origin, and steps are being taken tp apprehend the guilty party.

EL PASO ASSOCIATED CHARITY SECRETARY VISITS HERE.

Blaine Gwin; son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gwin, is spending a day or two here with his parents and other relatives —— Mr. Gwin is the secretary of the Associated Charities of El Paso, Texas, a city of about eighty thousand population. The association in that city handles about $25,000 a year. Mr. Gwin is enroute to Atlantic City, Ga., where he will attend three national conventions. The first is that of the social workers of the nation. At this convention Mr. Gwin will give an address on “marriage laws.” This convention will be in session from June 1 to 8. From June 8 to 10 he will, attend the national medical association and from June 10 to 15 the national convention of associated charities. Mr. Gwin has been offered some very prominent positions and much better salaries than what he receives at El Paso, but on account of the delicate condition of his wife’s health he has declined these offers and for the further reason that he is very much interested in his work at El Paso. 'During the war he was in charge of the Red Cross work in El Paso, dividing his time between that and his charity work. He is a very close student of social conditions and has a national reputation with the organizations that have to do with social and economical questions. He thinks that there is a very grave danger of the big organizations which have done so magnificently during the war of attempting to continue their work on too large a scale. He is of the opinion that localities can handle their problems more satisfactorily and with very much less expense. He thinks that the organizations have perfected their machinery for raising large sums of money very much more than theif ability to serve in their several lines of usefulness. That sh many instances they are not well organized to expend the money they are collecting. He thinks it is perfectly evident that in the community contributed money which must pass into the hands of some organization without, that there is sure to be more or less loss before the funds are returned to be expended for the relief and benefit of the local people. When a plea is made that the money is to be spent in Chicago or' elsewhere, Mr. Gwin suggests that Chicago is much more able to raise the money and take care of its own problems better than outside communities. . ~ He seems to feel that the big ideas may overshadow the real situations in the individual communities.

LOST AVIATORS FOUND ALIVE

TRAMP SHIP PICKS UP HAWKER AND GRIEVE FAR FROM LAND. London, May 25.—Missing for six days and virtually given up for lost, Harry G. Hawker and his navigator, Lieut. Commander Mackzie Grieve, British airmen who essayed a flight across the Atlantic ocean without protection against disaster save what their frail airplane afforded, are safe tonight aboard a British warship off the Orkneys. Tomorrow they will reach the mainland and proceed to London, where they -will be acclaimed as men returned to life. Some 1,100 miles out from Newfoundland and 800 from the Irish coast on Monday, May 19, the aviators, making the best of an engine which was failing to function properly, were forced to alight on the water. The little Danish steaaner Mary, bound from New Orleans and Norfolk for Aarhuus, Denmark, picked the wayfarers up and continued on her northward voyage. Lacking a wireless outfit, the captain of the steamer was obliged to withhold the good tidings of the rescue until he was opposite the Butt of Lewis, where the information was signalled by means of flags that Hawker and Grieve were aboard the ship. word was flashed to the British admiralty, which sent out destroyers to overtake the Danish vessel and obtain confirmation. This was done, and one of the destroyers took the airmen off and later transferred them to the flagship Revenge. From, this safe haven, Hawker sent a message tonight that his machine had stopped owing to the blocking of the wateF~ circulation system. When the airplane sped away from her starting point Pilot Hawker let loose his wheels and undergearing, thereby lightening the weight of the machine by a considerable amount, but making a possible landing on the soil of Ireland a more hazardous venture. This, however, probably proved of much advantage when it became necessary to alight on the surface of the water. The airplane remained afloat without difficulty during the hour and a half it took the Danish steamer to come up and effect a rescue. All England is stirred by the news of the safety of the two stout hearted aviators, but, owing to the difficulties of communication, some time must pass before the full details of one of the most remarkable voyages ever undertaken are known. The one person in England who had always held hope was Mrs. Hawker. She always maintained that Providence would protect her husband, and although she received condolences from all classes of people, including the king, she said today that she had never ceased to believe that some time and in some way her husband would come back.
