Efforts are being made in several
portions of the state simultaneous.
ly to secure better pay for school
teachers. Various methods are be.
ing pursued but all looking toward
the same end. In Harrison county
each teacher is asked to contribute
twenty five cents towards tue ex.
pense of sending a teacher before
the next Legislature to explain the
situation and ask for better salar-
les. In Wetzel county teachers
union has been formed and a for
NAL demand for an increase in pay
has been made. If it is not grant.
ed the teachers propose to strike
for the enforcement of their de.
mands Whether these methods
be right or wrong they show the
growing feeling among teachers
that they are not we'll paid and the
salary agitation is becoming gener-
al. Better pay is demanded and
better pay should be given-pro-
vided it results in better teachers.
While there are some excellent
teachers in the West Virginia
schools there are many who are
not properly fitted for their posi-
tions and who do not deserve any
more pay than they get. Boards
of Education all over the sta'e have
been handicapped in securing good
teachers by the small salaries tits
necessary for them to pay. While
it be may be true that in many in
stances incompetent teachers are
the cause of low salaries, it is also
true that low salaries are the cause
of poor teachers Ii the standard
of education is to be raised, the
grade of teachers must be raised
and this can only be done by rails.
ing their pay. But the increase in
salaries should be made with prop
discrimination Poor teachers only
deserve poor pay and better sal.
aries should be given only with a
view to increasing the efficiency of
the schools. Better pay for better
teachers should be granted all over

Every time Republican tells
about the commercial invasion of
Europe he is furnishing the best
sort of argument why the tariff
should be revised. If we can ship
our goods to Europe and undersell
her there, how in the name of rea-
son can there be any danger of any
destructive competition here?
Every article almost that is ex-
ported to Europe is sold at a good
deal lower figure than the same ar
ticle is sold for here. The Repub-
icans tell US that they are sold at
less than cost. Is it possible that
they squeeze their own people so
hard that they can go into the
charity business after they 90 to
Europe? 1t is either that or else
they do not sell at less than cost
there. The Republicans are well
come to either horn of the dilem-
ma. If they do not sell for less
than cost, why should they charge
us SO much more for the same ar.

One of this years State Repub-
licau conventions put in its plat
form this sentences: 1--WE recog-
nize the necessity of cooperation
in order TO meet new conditions in
the industrial world and to compete
successfully for the worlds mar
kets; but the combinations which
stifle competition. limit production,
control prices or unduly increase
profits or values, and especially
when they raise the prices of the
necessities of life, are opposed to
public policy. and should be re-
pressed" The people are weary
of hearing declarations of this
character on the part of the Repub-
lican party. They mean nothing
and are simply only hot campaign
wind with which to fill up the
voters in the fall. During the past
two years the Republican party, in
full control of both branches of
Congress, has not passed single
measure to ''repress" the giant mo-
nopolies and trusts that have
sprung up on every hand ito stifis
competition, limit production, un-
duly increase profits and raise the
prices of the necessities of life."
These colossal corporations are the
creatures of Republican legislation,
the beneficiaries of It's favoritism,
the generous contributors to it's
enormous campaign funds. Their
boards of directors and presidents
formulate Republican policies in
all that effect their interests, and
issue orders to Republican Sena-
tors and Representatives precise
ly the same as they do to the SUI
perinteudents and foreman of their
factories. From party SO con-
trolled it is idle to expect reforma-
ton. In promising it in platforms
and on the stump they are only
simply footing the people, who are
the victims of their rapacity.-Gal.

Secretary Shaw. in his latest
campsign speech. Gays: 1.-THE
PROTECTIVE TARIFF IS THE
PARENT OF CONDITIONS
THAT MAKEIT PROFITABLE
FOR CAPITAL TO COMBINE ),
Yet in the very next breath be de-
clares that he will not admit that
the tariff is the mother of trusts.
If the Secretary will tell the peo-
pie what more than hair-splitting
difference there is, he will solve the
problem of what the difference
there is betwixt tweedle-dum and
tweedle-dee. Mr.. Shaw cannot be
the man with the intelligence the
people give him the credit of hav-
ing. without knowing that those
two statements imply the same
things and that it is but mincing
OF words and splitting of hairs to
deny the fact. The trusts are with
us. They have grown up and
wsxed strong under Repub lican
rule. If the Republicans claim
credit for the conditions which pre-
vail now. they must also take the
credit for the trusts. The people
are in no frame of mind to
be dallied with in this campaign.
They know that the Republican
leaders of the West have acknowl.
edged when there was no campaign
on hand that the tariff on our man.
ufactured products which are sub.
jects of exports is uncalled for, and
that it enables those who control
the market on those articles to fix
exorbitant prices on the American
people. When Mr.. Babcock tells
them what these tariff duties have
done for the country they will an.
swer him in his own words "How
can such policy be defended?'
They know too that the Republi-
can leaders in Congress do not be-
lieve in revision and that the bills
that have been offered with revis.
ion in view have, without single
exception been strangled to death
on the spot without ever being
given an opportunity to come be-
fore the House or Senate. They
have daily pocket-book demon
stration of the fact that protected
articles all come higher now than
they did in 1897, and that nearly
every trust-controlled article in the
category costs more now than they
did five years ago. And they know
that the Republican Campaign
Textbook defends the trusts. The
American people are as intelligent
GLASS of people as there is in the
wide world, and they will not be
slow to see that the Republican
party is but dallying with them
when it goes to splitting hairs owe,
whether the protective tariff is the
mother of trusts or whether it is
the parent of conditions that leads
capital to combine.

The season has now arrived
when it becomes the duty of the
editor to warn his readers of fever
germs and to tell them about the
necessity of boiling all the water
they use, of cooking all the food
they eat and of inhaling all the air
they breathe. In the old days man
went about his business like other
beings but in the latter days he
has become a veritable germicide.
This is an age of germs. There is
a germ for everything from la
grippe to strenuty. These little
animals Turk everywhere and are
continually seeking whom they
may devour. The theories of the
germicides are all right and are
perhaps in large measure true to
fact, but the germkillers aud the
thoughtless heather go on having
disease i'll about the same proper
ton. Probably the most common
sense thing for people to do is to
keep themselves and premises clean
and spend less time chasing germs
