EVENTUALLY, WHY NOT NOW?
GERaLVNY promised to deliver her battleships.', i$ho
sunk them. ' liennany promised to return tho
French battle flags. She. burned tliein. (terniany prom
ised officially to accept tho tonus of tho treaty in Fast
Prussia, Posen and Silesia, while imofficialy she pledged
horsolf to violate them. Small woiulor the now Uerniaii
preiniov remarked the other day Germany's .salvation de
pends not upon world revolution, but a revolution in (ie.v
niany's moral consciousness.
Instead of this statement representing any change in
the German viewpoint it must be taken in the light of
subsequent events, to bo either an error in transmission,
or an isolated expression of a lonely philosopher enjoying
the luxurv of hearing himself talk.
'
And now the Crown Prince has escaped from Holland
to his Fatherland and it. is rumored from Washington that
his distinguished sire is on the way. This report taken
with the above record, and the general elusiveness of the
delegation to sign the treaty, strongly indicates that the
time has come, to end conversation, order the troops for
ward, and settle the affair in Berlin.
Everyone is tired of war. The troops want to got
home. Invasion of Germany will entail considerable sac
rifice in time, money and possibly lives, lint unless tho
reports from tho other side are entirely erroneous, there
is only one way to compel Germany to keep her word, and
that, is by force. Moreover with the Crown Prince and
possibly the Kaiser back in the fold again, their capture
and safe confinement, would be worth considerable fric
tion and annovanee.
'
It is apparent now that, the German change in
government, was a change in form not in spirit. The
treachery and bad faith under the Kaiser is continued
without mitigation, under Ebert. Either the true spirit,
of the German people has not been allowed expression,' as
yet, or the German people, themselves, are without moral
sense, and must be treated accordingly.
It's a melancholy spectacle. It is far from a simple
problem. With Europe in its present eatilepsy, the entire
aspect of things may change over night. But from the
information we have, and judging the situation as it ap
pears, there would seem to lie only one sensible course,
accept the violation of the armistice, order the advance,
and' back up future instructions . with the point of a
bayonet. .'
From all indications this must' be the course eventual
ly. Why not shorten the agony and do it now.

This party will be for girls only, and
interesting features .in gowns and

The function will be held at St.
Mark's hall and while it is desired

young ladies of the citv will be wel

hear Medford, and is well known in
the city where she and family usual
ly spend -the summer.
To the Kilitor: . .
As lor the seeivtary-clerk in the
officii of superintendent it is going
to bo a moiv iH'imotnicnl plan as
well as a far more efficient plan.
This plan or a more extensive pl'in
of the saute nature is being used in the
most progressive school systems. To
employ u competent' secretary in the
officii of superintendent the ensuing
year would call for an expenditure
of at least $7"i. in fart, other schooN
the sine of Medford are paving us
high as $S," or S'.HI. The services of
clerk under the old plan would call
for a minimum of $."00 as suggested
bv the present clerk. He savs that
he has consumed otie-lhii'd of his time
on this work this year. Thus it is
readily seen that the old plan would
call for an expenditure of approxi
mately $1,'J0I as a minimum, while
the new plan will cull for an expen
diture nt' $1,000. When it is thought
through clearlv, it is seen that ocuii
omically it is a saving of nt least $'200
for the ensuing year.
As for the representation that the
secretary to the superintendent has
filled the position for both offices
that of superintendent and pfhtci
pul. this has not been the ease ex--cept
in name and mis representation.
This has not been done nor can the
same he done. A little investigation
will show this clearlv. What little
time has been put in in tho princi
pal's office has been lit a sacrifice
of work in the other office and the
help has been absolutely iuiulenuate
for the needs of the principal's office.
There are three possibilities of get
ling the work done in some sort of n
way. First the principal ntav do the
necessary work at a great sacrifice
to his luitiu duties tit a salary of per
haps $'.0( per mouth. Si id. an
other teacher might he cuiploved mid
placed in the principal's office at a
salary of 1, 111)0, us is ("icnio tit some
systems, t,i- several teachers might
do the work in the principal's office
who? salary in the aggregate mi"ht
amount to a regular toucher's sal-
itrv. Third, an office girl might he
employed at it maximum of .?"() per
month for nine months, or a total of
.f t.-)!) for the year. This work must
lie done if one is going to have school
efficiency at all. If thought through
clonrlv and coiisitentlv, it is seen' that
the first two are false economy, and
that it is not good business. The lat
ter will take care tif the same in a
more efficient manner at a compara
tively small mnn. as compared with
other phiits. Thin recording of cer
tain reports, cheeking of grades.
making out of various kinds of
blanks that must be hail, and III
ninny ottier .tilings' ot an allied na
ture, would lie done by this office
girl. This renilires someone that i:
responsible and can bo held respon
sihle for what is more important thnn
acnurate records and well kept rec
ords. '
The need for these two cinploveo.

to n nV patron or citizen that will take
the time fo investigate. It will also

instead of the false economy plan

A Tire user in this city
about his experience with
them. Askhimabout the kind
of service he gets from our tire
press, our other tire machin
ery and our men. You'll
get the reasons, straight from
the shoulder, why over half
the truck tonnage of Amer

And when you put Firestone

you'll find that it runs faster
