FAY or COLLEGE PROFESSORS.
President Harper Says the Educators Of
America Are Sadly Cnderpaid.

America Are Sadly Cnderpaid-
President W. f. Harper. of the Chi
cago university, analyses in the Forum
statistics of salaries paid to professors
in one hundred and twentv-four Amer
lean colleges. College professors, eo-s-
pared with Pennsylvania mill hands. it
seems are sadly underpaid. At some
iron mills the entire laboring force is
paid quite as high as many college pro-
fessors. Only the highest class of pro-
fessors are to be compared with the
lower grades of responsible officers Of
railroad. industrial corporation or
insurance company. President Harper
makes strong plea for college PEN
slons and thinks the average paw
should be raised from 81 .ie0 To -. 600.
The salaries OF the lower class of
professors. says DR.. Harper. compare
with the wages OF the skilled work
men employed n the mechanical in
dustries. The salaries that range up
ward from the general average OF one
thousand four hundred and seventy
dollars compare with the pay of skilled
and responsible operatives and OF the
lower grades of responsible chemical
and subordinate administrative en-
ployes. 1t is only the highest class of
professors, the incumbents of respon-
sibla and exacting posts in the larger
colleges and universities, who are to
be compared with the lower grades of
the responsible officers of railroad or
an industrial corporation or insurance
company.
There is practically no class OF col
lege professors whose pay is on a level
with the pay of men in positions of
first or second rank and responsibility
IN the industrial community: and yet
nobody questions that the higher
grades of university work require quite
as exceptional gifts and quite as elab-
crate preparation, together with all
the most desirab BILE traits of character
that go to make up the highest effi-
cheney in the front rank of industrial
life. For the employment of equally
rare and Indispensable talents, IL
equally exactiEg and responsible posi-
tons, the teachers in our universities
are paid at rate that will in no wise
compare with frst-class salaries or per-
sonal incomes in mechanical industry
or in the professions

They believe that the Republican party

plank of the Republican platform

farmer of Finney county, near Garden
City. recently threshed and sold the
alfalfa seed from twenty-five acres of
ground for S1,012, realizing within $500
of the price he paid for his entire farm of
160 acres three years ago. Alfalfa seems
TO be specially adapted to that section,
mainly because Of its hardness and
thrift with little moisture upon the sur
face of the ground. But it demonstrates
the wonderful fertility of the soil, which
only lacks sufficient precipitation to pro-
mote the growth of vegetation to render
it the most productive portion of the
country. 1t is believed the necessary
moisture can be secured and supplied
through irrigation.

that the president can pray, and will

WHY THE MILLS ARE IDLE.

c. Wood Davis has written an open
letter to Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, re-
garding the statement recently made by
him in the senate to the effect that the
mills Of New England are idle by reason
of the existing monetary condition. In
the opinion of Mr.. Davis the mills are
idle
Because 30,0O0,OO0 of people have
lost their purchasing power; the pur-
chasing power has been lost because of
wholly inadequate prices for farm
products; farm products are low in Erice
because, among other reasons, of IN
natural price-making methods; such
methods continue to exist because ma
jority of New England's representatives
IN congress refused the measure of re-
lief which would have followed from the
passage of the anti-option bill. New
England suffers with the south and west
because of the dereliction, incompetency
and short-sighted selfishness OF ma
jority of New Ergland's congressional
delegation"
Referring to the zealousness with
which Massachusetts statesmen guard
the interest of their uch-boasted New
England, Mr. Davis remarks:
"Destitution among the miners of the
mountain states that is thousand times
worse than anything which has yet be-
fallen the operatives of New England;
hardships and privations long endured
by the vast population growing grain
and cotton are of little moment in the
eyes of some of New England's states
men @. but the moment the spindIes in
a New England mill cease to revolve the
very foundations OF society appear to
them 10 be endangered, and relief must
be had at any and all cost by that north
eastern tertium quid, for the exclusive
benefit of which the nation and con-
gress are assumed to exist"

EXCHANGE EPITOMES,
Democracy's Way.
From the New York Tribune.

from The Now York Tribune.
The president is a Democrat. The
senate is Democratic by majority of
five. The house is Democratic by a
majority of eighty-four. The Demo-
cratic party is the responsible party in
power. The first plank of the platform
on which it obtained this full grant OF
power pledged it to repeal the Sherman
act. Congress has been in session forty
six days. and the Sherman act is still
unrepealed, although the Republicans in
body are, and at every session have
been, ready to vote for repeal. But the
Democratic majority, agreeing on moth
ing else, drops the struggle with itself to
secure repeal, and unites in a grand
assault on honest elections and in mad
rush of partisanship.
