WHY NOT A BONUS?
On every hand Is heard a senti
ment favorable to Increasing salaries
for teachers for next year. There Is
Jural? a city of this slse In Nebraska
which hasn't realised that such a
srtep Is Inevitable. If wj are to
maintain the high standard of the
Alliance schools, we'll have to fall
la line. It's a simple thing to figure
ut It other cities are willing to
pay higher wages, they will get not
only the better class of teachers, but
Alliance teachers will be seeking the
positions that carry salaries com
mensurate with their Importance.
The time is rapidly passing when
fcarbers and bricklayers and street
weepers, clerks and manicures, will
raw more money than those who
pend years In preparing for their
life work. If wages la the teaching
profession do not rise, teachers are
going to go Into other lines of work.
The Alliance schools are among
the best organized In the state. The
corps of teachers is effective and effi
cient Tet a number of them talk
of leaving the city or the profession
ttecause of the meager salaries paid.
A substantial raise for 1920-1921 Is
certain.
But why wait until next year?
living expenses this year are as high
M they will be next. .Clothes cost
m much right now, in all probability.
AS they will cost next season. If the
teachers' salaries will have to be In
creased next year. Isn't what a pretty
cool Indication that tbey are too
low tight now?
Cannot Alliance show Its appreci
ation of Its hardest worked and leas'
appreciated servants by allowing a
good-Bleed bonus for this year'.'
work no dime a day donation, but
enough money to make tbetn under
stand that we realize what they have
had to fare? We have thousands of
dollars to spend for other improve
ments, and The Herald believes that
Alliance citizens will approve an ac
tion of that sort by the board of
education.
If the board Is In doubt, why not
put It to the test? A special election
called In Lincoln a few weeks ago
brought an overwhelming majority
In favor of adequate salaries not
next year or ten years hence, but
right no.w.-
Judged by living costs, the teach
ers have earned more money than
they have been getting. A good-
sized bonus handed them at this
time would make the whole year
pleasant for them. Who'll be the
first board member to suggest It?
The Order of Camels Is the name
of a new national society, organized
at Milwaukee last week, tne object
of which is the repeal of federal pro
hibition. They si and for the strict
enforcement of all laws, but will
seek the repeal of the measure
through a campaign of education.
Omaha newspapers last week car
ried en advertisement of a magazine
published for the same purpose. It
Is evident that there Is a slush fund
somewhere, and Indications are that
the wet and dry Issue Is not, as the
dry adherents have fondly believed,
a dead letter. The worst of It Is that
prohibition agents, by too zealous ef
forts, are making enemies as fast as
they once made friends. The habits
of a generation can't be eradicated
In an hour, and a healing lotion for
an open wound Is better than an irrl
tant. Unless more care Is used In
the selection of prohibition agents,
there Is grave danger that there may
be something more than mere talk
to the prohibition repeal movement.
It now appears probable that Pres
ident Wilson has given up all hope
of a third term, inasmuch as he has
permitted his attorney general, A.
Mltchel Palmer, to enter the race
and has not asked for his resigna
tion. McAdoo Is buzzing around, un
decided whether to try for delegates
or take his chances with the con
vention. The political bee Is now
stirring up the democratic camp,
and before long a whole lot of bon
nets will be in the ring.
Many of the republican brethren
are wildly excited over defects in the
primary law. It now appears that
due to the operations of this perni
cious law, Governor McKelvle is In
a fair way to be defeated for the
nomination, when unquestionably he
is as strong as any other candidate.
Here's the trouble: All that is nec
essary for a candidate to get into the
gubernatorial race is to make his fit
ing, which is accomplished with little
difficulty. There are now so many
entrants for the place that It Is pos
sible, with the vote split a half-dozen
ways, that McKelvle may be lost In
the shuffle. The State Journal was
lately urging the calling of a con
vention to settle who should stay In
the race. Democrats will remember
the year when Jim Dahlman was
crammed down their throats by re
publican votes, and spare their tears.
CHURCH OP CHRIST.
Soul stirring, scriptural sermons
will be preached both morning and
evening. The subjects are: "The
Good Confession" and "The Water of
Life." One evidence of Interest is
manifested In the attendance. When
you enter God's house, pray that you
may enter Into the services to re
ceive God's blessing. In the "win
one" campaign, how many have you
won to Christ? This Is a great op
portunity to use your talent and thus
increase it. Personal evangelism Is
emnhaslzed at every service. The
Bible school at 10 o'clock Is open to
all. The lessons are Interesting anl
lust what you need. The Endeavor
prayer meetings afford a great field
of activity for. the children and
young people.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
No Secret Diplomacy Here
There will be a greater shortage of cars this year than last We can give
you reasonably prompt delivery now, but are facing a serious shortage for
Spring and Summer. Why! Less climatically favored sections of this great
country of ours are snow bound during December and January and the Ford
Motor Co. will not stock cars in one section of the country if they can be used
in any other. We can get cars now while these territories are frozen up and
mowed, to. Let's get them, Give us your order now and have yours when
you need it You Can use it every day in our glorious Nebraska.
By the way, have you noticed how many cars began the New Tear with
an increase in price. A word to the wise is sufficient
Ton know the price. You can get delivery. The spring holds nothing
but uncertainty as to both.
