Who bides his time he tastes the sweet
or honey in the safest tear;
And though he fares with slowest feet,
JOY runs to meet him drawing near;
The birds are heralds of his cause,
And like never-ending rhyme,
The roadsides bloom in his applause
Who bides his time.

THE PAY FOR TEACHERS.

The matter of teachers wages in coun-
try districts has been receiving more or
less attention from some members OF
the country press of late, and with the
facts that have been brought out of the
low wages paid in many localities to
trained and experienced teachers, it is
but just that the matter should be agi-
tated. The following from the Albert
Lea Times on the subject is right to the
point:
Compelled by increased requirements
to make great OUTLAWS for special pro-
fessional training, the average instruc-
tor receives the same niggardly reward
as the unframed and ignorant teachers
of an earlier period. AS result the
transitory character of the profession is
marked. Many able teachers seek in
other fields more adequate rewards for
their services, while others, competent
and experienced, suffer the injustice of
performing for less than an unskilled
laborers pay professional work of the
most responsible and important char
acter. AS long as a section hand, with
no other qualification than broad back
and plodding disposition, can earn
more day and for far more days in a
year than teacher who has spent time
and money in professional training,
there is cause for protest at the injustice
done this body of public servants so
competent as Minnesota teachers on the
whole have proven themselves to be.

The Minneapolis Journal, in speak
ing of the popular subscription for rails
ing money to bring the Thirteenth Min
nesota boys home readily sees the point
made by the Free Press the other day,
and says:
Every citizen of Minnesota should
esteem it privilege to be contributor
to this fund, and that many of them do
SO regard it is evidenced by the liberal
contributions which have come in from
various parts of the state. 1t is not a
Minneapolis regiment, nor st. Paul
regiment, nor st. Cloud regiment, but
state regiment. The name is the
Thirteenth Minnesota, and the honor
able service it has rendered reflects
credit upon the whole state"
Every word as true as gospel. The
privilege ito be contributor to this
fund" may he had by calling at the Free

The Army's Endorsement.

In one of the opening performances
of Buffalo Bills Wild West at Madison
Square Garden, there were present
forty-five generals, active and retired,
including the Secretary of War, Com
manding General Miles, General Mer-
rift, General Carr, General Dodge,
General Sumner, General Stanton,
General Arson Mills and many of the
most neted retired generals, such as O..
Howard and others. 1t was the most
notable tribute ever paid to any indi-
vidual in any any arena, not excepting
Nero's self. Moreover, it was not only
the finest imaginable tribute to the
quality Of the exhibition, but re-
markable illustration of the universal
esteem in which Colonel Cody is held
by the regular army.

Bro. King, of the Adrian Democrat,
does not like it because member of
the South Dakota regiment asked for
his discharge and it was refused with
the statement that no applications for
discharge would be considered until
hostilities ceased. And he remarks that
this is the ''hell of war" To be sure it
is. But any one who stopped to con-
slider the matter, knew that year ago
just as well, as Editor King makes it
plain now. But what different could
Uncle Sam do through the months that
have just passed? Could the discharge
of this or that man be considered simply
because they had become tired of army
life and wanted to return home? And
if here and there an application were
granted upon such reason, in what a
predicament would. the government
find itself if an entire regiment asked
to be discharged2 Could the latter re-
quest be refused if the former were
granted ?War is hell, "and every person
of average common sense knows it, and
thousands were crazy to go to the front
when the call was made last year. And
the government has found no difficulty
in filling up the ranks of the regiments
called for, to uphold the flag in the
Philippines, and bring about law and
order where anarchy reigns.

SMITH WILL SETTLE.
Interest on That $500 Held s'in Trust"
Will be Demanded.

Calvin Smith, former city recorder
who is reported by Mr.. Donaldson to be
indebted to the city to the extent of $64.
states that he will pay whatever he
owes the city. He would have done SO
before. except that there was a question
as to how much he owed, one examina-
ton of tine books having showed it to be
about 5000. He believes that the true
amount is not over $50. He will go over
the figures with Mr.. Donaldson and
pay whatever is right.
The act of certain former official in
holding $500 of the public library fund
Sin trust" for four years will probably
not be allowed to rest where it is. The
city was paying eight per cent interest
on $500 borrowed to take the place of
the amount held Sin trust" and paid
out $3.50 interest. Aid. Meyer states
that at the next meeting of the council
he will move that the party who held
this money Gin trust" be requested to
pay to the city $3.50 for the use of the
said money, and that upon his failure
to do so the facts in the case be given
to the public.
The report made by Mr.. Donaldson is
still a subject of conversation, and the
general opinion seems to be that the
money expended on the investigation
was we'll spent. The former council
and administration is being freely criti-
cised for not requiring the former re-
corder to furnish a bond, especially in
view of his former shortages reported
by Mr.. Donaldson.
The aldermen are feeling of the pub
lie pulse before deciding on what action
to take. 1t is very probable that any
reasonable offer of settlement on the
part of the former recorder would be
accepted.
