TEACHERS CLOSE CONVENTION WITH POLITICAL IMS Dr, McCulloch and Ed Jackson Speak on Educational Problems, With a final session at Cadle Tabernacle. the seventy-first annual convention of the Indiana Teachers’ Association, the largest and most successful in the history of the organization, ended today. More than 15,000 teacheers from every part of the State registered during thejhree days. Addresses by Jesse Newlin, Denver, Colo., president of the National Educaioj*( r Association: Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Democratic candidate for Governor, and Ed Jackson, Republican candidate, were closing features. Dearing Named Selection of W\ P. Dearing, president of Oakland City College, as president of the association by thcnominating committe Thursday ended the most hotly contested presidential contest in recent years. For sixteen ballots the battle raged between supporters of Miss Martha Whitaker of Richmond and an opposition which shifted its votes to various candidates. With seven votes necessary to choice Miss Whitaker held six on the first sixteen ballots. The others were divided between E. U. Graff, superintendent of Indianapolis public schools, and J. O. Engleman, superintendent of Terre Haute schools, with scattering votes for other educators. Dearing's name did not appear until the fourteenth ballot. Proposal Defeated On the seventeenth ballot, the Whitaker strength broke, the vote standing, Dearing 7, Whitaker 4, Graff 1. and Engleman 1. The recommendations of the committee were accepted by the convention without a contest. Miss Clara Rathfon cf Logansport was elected corresponding secretary As was expected the effort to redistrlct the State, substituting a number of meetings for the big annual meeting In Indianapolis, was defeated on the floor of the convention after a hard and at times acrimonious fight. This was considered a victory for the rank and file of the teachers over the county and city superintendents. “The Democratic party would bend every possible effort to the betterment of the physical condition of every school plant in the State and to the more efficient service of every teacher,” Dr. McCulloch said. ■v Protection Pledged "We would favor laws that would bring into the teaching profession highly trained teachers and then guarantee a more permanent position to those proving themselves to be successful in the training of our youth. "In this way teachers would not be tossed about from place to .place, from pillar to post, because of political reasons or as a matter of gratifying the whims of prejudices or jealousies. Teachers once in the service would be protected in their rights so long as they manifest a proper interest in their work and showed proper evidence of professional growth and advancement. "We would make the education of our youth Indiana's biggest undertaking. and dedicate to this sacred task the lives and energies of our most Intelligent citizens, support them with abundant physical resources and surround them with just and ample legal protection. Jackson discussed the relation of . the public to education. “The perpetuity of our Nation, its institutions, all depends fundamentally upon education, and If we are derelict in promoting that, or in giving the opportunity to our people for securing education to aid them as useful citizens, then we have failed v to respond to true Americanism,” he said. llow to Cut Taxes n “One excellent way to reduce school taxes is to Increase the return on the investment. The way to increase the return on the investment is to have the school touch more people. With $50,000,000 invested. the schools reach, say, 1,000.000 people. Make the schools touch 2,000.000 people and you could add one-fourth of the investment and still be saving money. “You have here a banking proposition that you could sell anywhere to a financial expert. “One thing absolutely essential to a good school system is Interested, active parents. We need a campaign of education to arouse the parents of America to the fact that the schools are their property: that they are care and keeping and that they need their everyday attention. I hope there will come out of this meeting a group of men and

LA FOLLETTE TO CARRY CAMPAIGN BACK INTO EAST

Calls Off Trip to CoastWill Make Speeches in Indiana. By United Press SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 18.— Declaring he has won the "West and the real battle grounds is in the East, Senator Robert M. La Follette, independent candidate for President, today announced he will not go to the Pacific Coast, as had been expected. but will turn East from Omaha Monday. La Follette announced he would speak at Rock Island, 111., Oct. 21 and at Peoria the day following. Other engagements in Illinois, Indiana. Ohio and perhaps Pennsylvania will be announced later. La Fayette informed his running mate, Senator Burton K. Wheeler, of this change in his schedule in a telegram, as follows: “The talk of throwing election into Congress is admission of de-, feat by our disheartened opponents. They are now binding every effort not to elect their candidates, but to prevent decisive Progressie victory on No. 4. “They cannot win by the direct vote of the people: we can. “The election is ours if we carry Progressive States east of the Mississippi with large electoral votes. Reports from State managers confirm my conviction that the people of these States are aroused to clinch election under aggressive leadership. “I am confident the people of the West will carry on. I am. therefore. turning east from Omaha." La Follette rested here today, being somewhat worn by two weeks of strenuous campaigning. Mentions Poll In his speech here Friday night the Senator attacked the “system of monopoly," which he said has reached beyond the confines of the United States and embarked upon a dangerous course of "dollar diplomacy” by underwriting the governments of Haiti. Santo Domingo and others in Central and South America. La Follette mentioned the Literary Digest poll in his speech to say that its 1912 poll gave the election to Taft, who carried actually two States. “If you want to know what is going to happen, read the Literary Digest and—bet the other way,” he said.

SHUMAKER MAKES NEW ATTACK ON F. H. VAN ORMAN Dry Leader Scores Effort to Candidate to Appear as ‘Dry,’ E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon league, today challenged the speech made by F. Harold Van Orman. Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor, Thursday afternoon before the Seventh District Womens Republican Club. Van Orman declared he was "thoroughly in sympathy with prohibition” and that he believed in every word- of the Constitution amendments. Shumaker said: "It was Van Orman, as a member j of the Indiana State Senate, who j voted against the Dunn dry bill In 1921. This measure; which was enacted Into law r , permits the State to seize and to destroy illicit stills used In violation of one of the amendments to our Federal Constitution. Record Is Cited "Yet Van Orman, so zealous now In defense of the Constitution, saw fit to oppose this wise measure for the better enforcement of that document. "Then again In the 1923 session of the v legislature Mr. Van Orman voted against the second Dunn dry dill which, among other things, requires juries, and courts, to assess j jail or penal farm sentences for the manufacture, sale, etc., of intoxicating beverages. Mr. Van Orman not only voted against this bill but on the floor of the Senate made a speech In which he called this measure and such other measures as were being reported by the Public Morals Committee for passage as "pernicious and diabolical.” For Persona! Liberty He stated further that he wanted to "take the floor in behalf of personal liberty.” “Mr. Van Orman waited more than five months after receiving the nomination for Lieutenant Governor over the protests of the AntiSaloon League, the Woman's Chrls- ! tian Temperance Union and also a ! group of his fellow Republican State Senators, to announce himself as a | prohibitionist. His record is against ! him.” RAPER GIVES MINSTREL j Show to Ik* Staged at Masonic Temple Tonight. Roper Commandery No. 1.

Kinder, prosecutor of Lake County, Is expected to follow affirmation of his conviction on a charge of conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws by United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. Attorney General U. S. Lesh said he would push a petition for removal of Kinder, pending in Indiana Supreme Court. Lesh also is looking Into the law regarding ouster of Mayor Roswell O. Johnson of Gary, convicted in the conspiracy case, tried in March 1923 before Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger here. Will Discuss Action The forty-two defendants, who lost the appeal, are to discuss Sunday whether they will petition for a rehearing or appeal to United States Supreme Court. Seventy-five pereons were indicted in the alleged “booze ring.” -Some pleaded guilty, some "took their medicine" and charges were nolled as to others. If no further step is taken by the defendants they must pay the penalties fixed by Judge Geiger. Meanwhile Federal officials here were preparing to issue prison warrants for the forty-two who lost their apparel In case the defendants take no further steps. Lesh said the State Supreme Court deferred action at the time of the conviction, ponding outcome of appeal. Johnson was sentenced to eighteen months In Federal prison and fined $2,000. Other sentences ranged to punishments as light as a day in Jail. Other defendants Among the other prominent defendants from Gar-' besides th ' rmiT mayor were William H. Olds, ex sheriff; Lewis Barnes, ex-sheriff; Blaze A. Luca, attorney, and Clyde Hunter, ex-prosecutor.

John Bennnett, treasurer of the Republican city commission, drew a sentence of four months In the Marion County Jail. "Evidently the testimony of Government witnesses was believed and if accepted, a condition was disclosed as shocking as may be found in the annals of municipal government," the court of appeals declared. "They describe a situation where from police to mayor, from baliff to the court, corruption was rampant, vice was protected, bribery was common. justice was a mockery. "Moneys were collected from dens of vice to secure the election of officials who were or became the partners of the grafter, the moonshiner and the operators of bawdy houses.” i DOCUMENTS EXAMINED Board of Accounts Studies ('onstable’s Activities.

FARMER BURNED IN VAIN ATTEMPT 1 TO RESCUE SON Paul Howell Dead Father in Critical Condition at Southport, \ Roy Howell. 35, farmer Ilyin?; a j mile southwest of Southport, Ind.. was in a critical condition today at the Bet-Te-Na Resthaven Sanatorium at Southport, suffering from burns received Friday in an attempt to rescue his son, Paul, 14. burned to death when fire destroyed a silo in which he was working on the Howell farm. Price Jarvis, 18, of 1811 Schurmann Ave., Indianapolis, in the silo with young Howell, is suffering from severe burns. According to witnesses, the two youths packing down ensilage when flames from a large bam spread to the silo and trapped them. Jarvis climbed to the top of the silo and jumped to safety. Howell was unable to reach the top and efforts by his father to save him by attempting to form a human ladder were futile, j Fire Chief John O'Brien who, with ' a squad wagon, answered the call for aid, said the fire, which caused SIO,OOO damage to the silo, two barns, garage, and chicken house, probably started from spontaneous combustion in one of the bams. Three calves were burned. Local firemen were required to cut through heavy hoops binding the silo before they could recover Paul Howell's body. Men Hear Aultman Brig. Gen. Dwight B.

According to tho statistics of the year 1923 (the last official statistics available), there are over 2.000.000 children in J the Catholic parochial schools of the M United States. The figures of competent statisticians estimate that it costs approximately $06.63 per year in the United States to educate a child in the public schools. (See 1924 annua! report of the Pittsburgh board of public eduqgtton.) This means that the Catholics of the United States are saving the whole nation more than $193,000,000 every year. Ts Catholic Schools "Were Closed In other words, if the Catholic schools were closed the 2.000.000 children would have to go to the public schools and the taxpayers of the United States would have to expend at least $193,000,000 extra every year to meet the condition. These figures do not take into account the Catholic schools' capital investment for grounds, buildings and fixtures, which the public schools would have to duplicate in order to care for 2.000.000 additional pupils. This item figured on the basis of the GorcmnenU estimate of $12,000 to each fifty pupils, amounts to $480,000,000. In addition, the upkeep must be considered. There are no accurate statistics available on that point, but with 8.000 schools as a basis, the most conservative estimate mul allow $25,000,000 a year for Interest. Insurance and upkeep. Schools in Indiana According to the official Catholic Directory of 1923. there are 231 Catholic parish or parochial schools In the State of Indiana. Those are attended by 49 - 491 pupils. (Later Incomplete statistics place the figure much higher as there has been a decided increase in the past year in the Catholic school enrollment.) According to figures given out by the state board of education the average cost (including grade schools, high schools and junior high schools) for educating a child In the public schools of Indiana is $82.50 per child. If the Catholic parochial schools in Indiana were closed and the 49.491 Catholic children who now attend these parochial schools, had to go into the public schools, the taxpayer* ot Indiana would have to pay $4,083,007.50 annually to meet the changed condition.
