IT. S. SECRETARY OF EDUCATION.
The eleventh member of the president's cabi
net probably will be the secretary of education.
Three bills introduced in this congress provide
for the creation of a new. governmental depart
ment, to be presided over by a new member of
the president's official family.
Senator Hoke Smith is the father ol one of
these measures, and his bill, it is understood, has
the endorsement of the general educational
board, but that Rockefeller O. K. is likely to be a
handicap in getting congressional approval.
Congressman J. M. Baer of North Dakota in
troduced a bill to create a secretary of education
and public welfare, but being a non-partisan
leaguer, Baer gets little support for any measure
he fathers in the house. Conservatives of both
parties choke him off hurriedly and smother his
bills as fast as they are introduced.
The bill endorsed by the school teachers' union
was just introduced the other day by Congress
man H. M. Towner of Iowa. It provides for the
creation of a department of education and au
thorizes appropriation of money to encourage
states in the promotion and support oi" education.
At present the federal government exercises
rather meager control over public schools, and
until recently the bureau of education, under the
supervision of the secretary of the interior, de
voted most of its attention to Institutions of high
learning, colleges and universities.
The department of education, if it is created,
will rank below the last organized, the depart
ment of labor, but in cabinet meetings the new
est secretary will be the only one facing the
president as their seats alternate according to
rank, there being five members upon each side of
the cabinet table with the president at the head.
When they would provide a cure for a disease,
scientists first isolate the germ. And statesmen
are agreed that the way to cure the world of war
is to isolate the German.
TWO RATHER PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
The National Livestock Association must have
snickered when Clay Tallman, commissioner of
the general land office, addressed its Denver ses
sion to this effect :
'There are two hundred milllion acres of idle
land in the rain belt of the eastern states. If the
western states fail to rise to their opportunity
and develop the livestock industry to its maxi
mum possibility, the east will turn to" these lands
or to importation f rem abroad for its meat sup
ply, and the west will suffer in consequence."
Really, Uncle Kitchel Pixley, or some other old
hograiser, ought to have asked that general land
office man two questions, to-wit :
If the east, with all that idle land in the rain
belt, doesn't like western bacon at 70 cents and
western beef at 45, why doesn't it go to raising
hogs and cattle on that land?
If there's 200,000,000 acres lying around idle,
why doesn't the government, by commandeering
or taxing, set it to producing?
In fact, Mr. Tallman's threat isn't an indict
ment of the western meat raiser. It's an indict
ment of our fool way of doing things.
The eastern states have plenty of money, plen
ty of idle land, plenty of jobless men and are hun
gry for meat. And the best solution government
officials can offer is to scare the western meat
raiser into producing so mucfl meat as to lower
his prices ! What a merry ha-ha the eastern tool
maker or cloth-maker would put up over such a
proposition.

ARE WAGES TOO HIGH?
The oracles that speak from the sacred pre
cincts of privilege declare that wages are too
high. Profound interviews solemnly pronounce:
"Prosperity waits for falling wages."
There have even been whispers that an army
of unemployed would not be unwelcome. This
these inviters of disorder hope would lower
wages to where profits would be more plenty. On
this text many Bolshevist sermons have been
preached and many converts made.
Wages are the keystone of our industrial arch.
To pry and pound at it when the arch still
trembles from the upheavals of war endangers
the whole structure.
Cutting wages will produce a panic as cer
tainly as setting fire to gunpowder will produce
an explosion. Now is not a good time for those
who are interested in the preservation of present
social institutions to invite a panic.
Panics arise from inadequate markets. A ten
per cent wage cut wipes out the equal of our
whole foreign market. Many wars have been
waged to extend foreign markets. A proposal
to close our ports to exports would use the threat
of revolution from hose who look to that market
for profits. Then what about a ten per cent
wage cut, in these parlous times, to those who
look to wages for their very life?
A "stop thief" cry has been raised to cover this
attack upon wages. Organs of privileged profi
teering coined the epithet, "Labor profiteer."
The phrase carries the charge that the rise of
wages has been as unfair and treasonable as the
extortionate exploitation by corporations that
made the world's extremity their personal op
portunity. Emphatic repetition may have convinced the
unthinking that the charge is proven.
Plain facts confute the charge.
From 1914 to 1918 the wages of organized
workers rose 27 per cent. During the same period
prices rose nearly 70 per cent. While labor was
charged with profiteering it was suffering a re
duction in wages.. The apparent prosperity was
due to more continuous employment.
The figures are gathered by the United States
Department of Labor. They are cconfirmed by
all other statistics on the subject. No one dis
putes them.
The money wages of unorganized and un
skilled labor increased even less. Those of sal
aried and unorganized workers rose least of all.
With few carefully and widely exploited excep
tions actual wages went steadily lower during
the war.
If these figures were not available it would
still be possible to summon the slums, the work
ing children and the tables of infant mortality to
give eloquent and unanswerable testimony to the
existence of wages that fail to make possible a
decent human existence.
This should end the talk of "labor profiteer
ing." It should also settle the question of the reduc
tion of wages.
That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by orew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sul
phur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold. "'Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients for 50 cents a large
bottle, all ready for use. It is called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.
This can always be depended upon vo
bring back the natural color and lus
tre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can lei it has been applied. You
simply dampen a sponge or soft biush
with it and draw this through the
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. T'lis
ready-to-use preparation is a delight

sire dark hair and a youthful appear
ance. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease. -adv.

JOBS IS
U. S. SL
OGAN
(N. E. A. Special.)
Chicago, Feb. 12. A new thing Is
happening in the unemployment
crisis that faces Chicago, which has
125.000 Jobless men.
For the first time employers, capi
talists and bankers are recognizing an
obligation on their part to see that
workers have jobs.
In all previous unemployment
crisis, the attitude of employers has
been largely that of: "Iet it alone
and it will work Itself out all right:
the great law of supply and demand
will readjust things."
There is nothing of that spirit now
in Chicago. Big business men meet
with labor leaders and do their best
to work out a plan that will lave
no man unemployed who wants work.
Instead of blackguarding each other
in separate halls, capitalists and
working men in Chicago are sitting
around the same table and threshing
out reconstruction problems with bare
knuckles.
I was at one of these confabs. It
was attended by bankers, manufac
turers, city officials, college econom
ists, soldiers and labor leaders. Tn an
atmosphere thickly charged with to
bacco smoke, men spoke to each other
with almost brutal frankness.
But progress was made. A joint
committee was named, which urged
the governor of Illinois to creat an
emergency public works commission
representative of labor, business and
the general public. The idea It has
been named "the Illinois idea" is to
develop a state policy with reference
to public works, and to co-ordinate
state, municipal and federal projects.
This gives the spirit of the meet
ing: When H. II. Merrick, president of
the Association of Commerce, said:
"Bolshevism will never show its ugly
head and the red flag will never wave
In Chicago If we all stand together as
we are today," John IT. Walker of the
union labor reconstruction board,
jumped up and shouted:
''That's fine, but remember that
food given in charity does no good. I
disagree with Hoover that food will
stop unrest In Europe or elsewhere.
Go ahead with public works that will
help but unless labor gets a fnir d?al
Bolshevism will appear right at out
door. "Migratory workers are useful citi
zens and human beings and unless
they get Justice will become destruc
tionists. The men who gather our
wheat and cut our ice feed us. They

The reason one man has less than he needs
is because another has more than he deserves.

Surely we will have peace with Germany if
every interested nation gets a piece of Germany.
The ambition of one people to boss another is
a great help to the crutch-making industry.

TO BE DEPORTED
Ft. Worth, Texas, Feb. 11. A prison
train, bearing about thirty alleged an
archists and Industrial Workers of
the World agitators, passed through
Ft. Worth today enroute to Kills Isl
and for deportation to Kuropean coun
tries. They were gathered in tan
Francisco, Tuscon. F.1 Paso, S n An
tonio and Dallas. Most of the prison
ers were from California.
T. J. Busey, a farmer and stockman
residing in the Northern part of the
county, who complains of the loss of
several head of cattle, poisoned by a
secretion used in the county dipping
vats, will have his grievances settled
by J. V. KnaPp, general field super
visor of the bureau of animal industry.
Mr. Knapp will come to Pensacola
within the next few days and personal
ly confer with Mr. Busey.
It is claimed that a portion of the
secretion, used for dipping purposes,
remained in the vat over night, was
then put in a tub nearby and that Mr.
Busey's cattle strayed beyond the vat
and drank the contents, thus causing
him considerable financial loss.
