TEACHERS At OCEAN CITY.
The State Association in Session
There This Week. Good
Attendance.

The State Teachers Association has
been in session at Ocean City this week
and quite number of Worcester
teachers as well as the members of our
County School Board have been in
attendance.
Joseph Blair. of Sparrow's Point. was
elected President for the ensuing year.
The meeting was the largest ever held
since the formation of the association.
1t is thoroughly representative body
of public educators, comprising large
number of intelligent men and women.
from nearly every county of the State
and from Baltimore.
In the addresses which were made at
the opening of the meeting, the State
Superintendent, Prof. NJ Bates Stephens
and the Association president. Mr.. +.
Eugene Wathen of Annapolis. both
argued very strenuously for better pay
for county teachers. The schools are
finding it difficult, said both of them, to
secure efficient instructors when teach.
ers' salaries continue low in the face of
the recent advanced cost of living and
of the attractive opportunities for
women i'll other occupations. us it not

ing bare existence salaries to those
who are the States architects of citizen
ship and whose delicate duties are ill.,
creased almost with each succeeding
year? s:The street cleaners of Baltimore
city receive about the same for their
work as does the average teacher of
our counties" Both gentlemen main
tanned that the State finances were in
healthy condition, and should be drawn
upon to advance teachers salaries so
that the minimum i'll the counties will
be $3.50 or 500. instead of $270. Such
proposition was before the last Legisla
ture, but was not favorablv considered.

THE TOBACCO. MONOPOLY.

If any part of the reports concerning
what the United Stores Cigar Company
has begun to do and plans to do is true
it's purpose is to create monopoly of the
retail tobacco trade. 1t is safe to say that
this company is one Of the branches of the
tobacco trust known as the Consolidated
Tobacco Company, which not long ago had
designs on the tobacco trade of the world.
1t met it's match in Great Britain, where a
tobacco monopoly already existed, and,
after expanding large sum of money to
break down the English trust. gave up the
undertaking and entered into an agreement
to divide the trade of the world between
them. All accounts of the movements of
the United Stores Company indicate pur-
pose to drive everybody else than their
agents and retailers out of the business.
Reports from other cities are to the effect
that the agents of this company go to
dealers with a good trade and offer them
a good price for their business with en-
ployment as statesmen. If dealers refuse
TO consider such offers they are told
they had better do so, since If they do not
their business will be ruined. Instances are
quoted where men who have refused have
had their trade ruined by the trust estab-
fishing retail stores near them, thus divid-
ing the trade, and by underselling and
other devices driving them out of business.
If half the reports regarding the move
ments of the Duke combination are true
il must be proceeding in violation of all
laws which are designed to prevent the
restraint of trade the single purpose being
to create a monopoly which will enable it
to dictate prices and eventually to force
the use of inferior goods. 1t should be in
violation of law for a manufacturer to re-
fuse to sell goods to any man who offers
to pay for them without exacting pledges.
| 1t should be in violation of law for a COM
bination To set up competing stores to
break up an established business by under
| selling for time. If there are no such
laws there should be, since Ii is for the
| public interest that monopoly should not

methods.

WORKING FOR THE SAKE OF WORK.

President Roosevelt omits no opportunity
to enforce his theory of strenuous living,
by which he means doing whatever one has
to do earnestly, thoroughly and conscien-
tiously. Addressing the high-school boys at
Philadelphia he urged them to do whatever
they did with their might-when they stud
led to study hard, and when they played
to play hard. Adopting a maxim of the
football field. he said Don't finch, don't
dressing an audience composed of high
school alumni and teachers, he said:
Doubtless most of you remember the
distinction drawn by Ruskin between the
two kinds of work-the work done for the
sake of the fee and the work done for the
public or private life. whoever works only
for the sake of reward which comes for
the work, outside of the work will in the
long run, do poor work always. / don't
care where the work is, the man or the
woman who does work worth doing is the
who sleeps that work, with whom IL is
ever present in his or her soul, whose am
bition is to do it well and to feel rewarded
by the thought of having done it WELL"
There is nothing specially original in this,
for the Importance of putting ones heart
and conscience into ones work has often
been inculcated, but the advice is good
enough to emphasize, especially for young
people. Many of the successful business
men of the day-the captains of industry
have included it among the requisites of
success. They have urged employees to look
out for the interests of their employers,
not to be afraid of working too hard, not
to watch the clock, and to put their hearts
and conscience into whatever they did. This
is good advice for young Americans who are
apt to be too careless of the interests OF
their employers, too anxious to get on fast
and more concerned about the pay they are
to receive than they are about the quality
of work they do. What the President said
was not only an appeal for thoroughness
and conscientiousness in all kinds of work
but it was also a protest against the spirit
of commercialism which threatens to engult
and obliterate all other motives.
