3 CANDIDATES .BACK TEACHERS’ WAGE DEMANDS Democratic Gubernatorial Aspirants See Injustice in Present Pay. WRITE STATE OFFICIAL Letters from three candidates for the democratic nomination for governor, declaring In favor of better salaries for teachers and a higher standard of teaching, have been received by the state department of public instruction, It "was announced today. The writers were John Isenbarger of North Manchester, Mason J. Niblack of Vincennes and James K. Risk of Lebanon. NEGLECT OF TEACHER .'•HARD TO BELIEVE." w Said Mr. Isenbarger: ‘‘lt Is hard to believe that a commonwealth like the state of Indiana, who did ber patriotic duty so wonderfully w-ell during the great war, should be so nearsighted as to neglect the most resourceful means of reconstruction, namely, the retraining, redrafting and training of her teachers—the foster parents of our coming generation. ‘‘We can not expect those who are in the profession to remain martyrs to the cause, any more than we can expect others to prepare for it, unless we make adequate preparation for their proper remuneration immediately. “Moreover, I think our teachers, who now hold in the hollow of their hands ®ur future America, should not have to face the humiliation of fighting their own battles In this campaign for a square deal on the salary question, but that the public should awake, think and work this educational problem out to a conclusion satisfactory to them." SCHOOLS DRAGGING AND FACE CRISIS. ‘‘Our common schools, high schools and colleges, as well as parochial and denominational schools and colleges In Indiana, have been dragging of late and ore well nigh facing a serious crisis," wrote Mr. Niblack. “Their great need is a larger supply of money with which to pay fairer and more decent salaries to teachers, both men and women. In the city and rural schools, who have never received enough pay to compensate them for their Just deserts. Teach, ers’ salaries in Indiana should be made attractive enough to hold the very best among them.” Mr. Niblack also declared for better teacher training and improvement of the state's normal school facilities. The letter of Mr. Risk contained the following:

Ninety per cent of our teachers In the common schools and high schools are women. The educational development and preparation of the child Is largely in the hands of women, until the child passes from high school to college, and this brings us to a very Important question, viz: The consideration and remuneration that we are giving to our teachers. "I believe the minimum and maximum wage for teachers should be greatly Increased, and the requirements for service from the teachers should be Increased. Morals and citizenship must be a part of our common school foundation. There must be aroused In the heart of every boy and girl a moral conscience.” Two Arrests Lead Back to Louisville An investigation Is being made today by Detectives Rugenstein and Hynes following the arrests of Marlon Trexler, 28, 1523 Central avenue, charged with being a fugitive and with vagrancy and William Slack, 19, charged with vagrancy.

y.-JJ OF=- THE TWINS ML by Olive RoberLr Barton iHILnB THE CROSS OLD BOOK. NEITHER the wise old Riddle Book nor silly old Funny Book in. Once Upon Town knew a thing about the monkey when the twins asked them, and books pretending to be so wise 'n all, too! So Nancy and Nick began to watch the pictures again, that were hopping around and having a good time. Puss-in-Boots and Jack-the-Giant-Killer, Snow-White, the Fat-Man-of-Bombay—oh, just everybody was there! These children were asking the magical mushroom how all the pictures would find their own books again when, snap, something shut with a bang! And the twins found themselves in a dark, tight, terribly squeezy place, with a scoldy voice saying over and over, “Did you get that pail of water yet?” "Is somebody talking to us?” asked Nancy. They pried open the cross old book and let the twins out. “Yes,” whispered the magical mushroom, who was with the children “It's the old book—it’s blind and can't see, and thinks you are Jack and Jill. It shut up on you." “No. sir!” spoke up Nick “We didn't get the water, because you see we're not " I But the book snapped him off. “Well—well. I’ve waited for that pail of water till I’m all dried up and my leaves are falling out, and here you two little rascals are out playing instead of attending my wants. I was sure when Fanny Brown lost me and I came here to The Land o’ Lost Things that I’d be comfortable. You stay here until you promise.” “But we're not Jack and Jill, we're Nick and Nancy,” insisted Nick. “You can't fool me, I know better!" said the old book. Dear knows what would have happened, but the magical green shoes thought that was enough of an adventure for one day, so they pried open the cross old book and let the twins out. Away they scampered, glad to he free.-- Copyright. 1920, N. E. A.

WEST VIRGINIA 34TH TO RATIFY Cross-Country Trip of Senator Wins for Suffragists. CHARLESTON, W. Va., March 11West Virginia today stands as the thirtyfourth state to ratify the federal suffrage amendment. The state senate last night voted fifteen to fourteen for the amendment, ending a long and warmly contested fight. All previous votes resulted In a tie, fourteen to fourteen. The house of delegates ratified the amendment a week ago, forty-seven to forty. With West Virginia in the suffrage column, only two more states are needed to ratify the Susan B. Anthony amendment to the United States constitution. Ratification In the senate was finally brought about by the unseating of Senator A. R. Montgomery of Boone county, on the ground that he Is now a resident of Illinois, and the arrival of Senator Jesse A. Bioch of Wheeling, from Pasadena, Cal., after a flying trip across country. Senator Bloch at the windup of his cross-country trip was met by a small group of suffrage leaders and several newspaper men and escorted to a hotel. He completed bis trip of 3,0*0 miles in record time. His special traTn from Chicago to Cincinnati Is believed to have established anew world's record for passenger locomotives, making the distance of 290 miles in a fraction over five hours. The final vote in the senate was taken at 6:15 o'clock after one of the most dramafic sessions ever witnessed in either house of the legislature. For several hours suffrage leaders and their opponents fought In an effort to gain a definite advantage. Each step by either party was hotly contested—antisuffrage forces determined t<> offset their opponents' victory in keeping the legislature in session and the suffragists confident of gaining a majority to ratify. t'rowded galleries were kept in order with difficulty as each phase of the battle apparently suug in favor of one side or other other. With only two more states needed to make she required thirty-six, attention was being directed to Delaware and Washington, where the state legislatures have been cu.led for special session March 22.
