BETTER TEACHERS WAGES.
CStar1

1t is encouraging to notice that In
many places in Iowa the wages OF
teachers in both country and town
schools, are being increased. The
board of directors in Toledo last week
raised wages of all the teachers in the
corps S. per month. In several Tama
county townships an increase of $3.50
to So per month has been made in the
wages OF the rural teachers. While
this action was to some extent a matter
of necessity, if any teachers were Sc
cured. still 1t shows a growing ten
dency of more adequate compensation.
1t is a strange fact that in Iowa, where
illiteracy has at.ttmes been the,l lowest
of any state in the union, il it is not so
now, the pay of teachers has been lower
than that in any other employment.
Even section me- on railroads have re-
ceived better compensation than rural
school teachers. OF late county super
intendents have agltated this injustice
widely. with encouraging results.
Scores of farm hands in Tama county
are today receiving $50 per month and
board and washing. This is equal to
$40 to $40 per month. The farm hand Is
required to pass no examination. He
is not asked to show a certificate OF any
class. He is not required to attend n
association meeting or normal insti-
tute. All he needs is to invest 90 cents
for a pair of %overhauls and report for
duty. He may never hays curried a
horse, MIXED a cow or fed a pig. he
can draw $40 per month and learn how
to work after he hires out. The average
wages of rural teachers in this county
is less than $50 and they-must pay their
board out of this. They must attend
normal two weeks, must prepare them
selves to pass the required examination,
must dress we'll and on the last day of
school are expected to give a present to
each scholar. There is nc wonder the
young men have deserted the profession
almost to a man. Half the female
teachers who remain are half-prepared
girls who teach simply because they
have nothing else on hand for a year or
two, not because they have love or
fitness for the work, but because they
need a little money to keep up with the
fashions of the day, or 70 meet the ex-
penses of the approaching marriage.
County superintendent Brown claims
more ability is needed in the country
school than in the graded school. When
one considers that all the responsibility
is on the one teacher. that h must
plan and manage and govern wholly
alone, that she has a multitude OF
classes made up of all ages, and grades
of pupils, the truth of this statement
will be admitted in a great measure.

THE REAL
[Odeboldt Chronicle


1t is We'll to bear in mind that Gov
ernor Cummins and those who agree
with him on the tariff question have
never proposed tariff reduction as a
remedy for trust evils. On the con-
trary they have expressly ~repudiated
such claim. What they have urged is
that certain duties nave become I'M
necessary and that others are too high.
1t makes no difference to them whether
a trust or Independent manufacturer is
the beneficiary; they hold that when-
ever the SUI is compelled to pay
an exhorbitant price for a product pro-
tected by a duty, the duty should be
either abolished or reduced. All the
misrepresentation of the American
Economist and it's echoes cannot cloud
the issue. If no trusts were in exis-
tence the republicans of Iowa would
make the same demand. And that de-
mand will be embodied in the national
platform of the republican party in
1904.

COMMITTEES CASH ACCOUNT.

1t is whispered around that quite a
number of prominent republicans In
Iowa are discussing the method of
keeping the cash account of the re-
publican state central committee and
there appears to be considerable dissat-
.isfaction. From time to time there
have been hints, even charges, that the
method for accounting for the cash
was not such as to be convincing. 1t
would seem as If this was a very easy
matter to remedy and We should think
that the central committee would tax
measures to do away with all gossip
in that direction.

my thoughts at present, although |
always am ready TO net In an advisory
capacity, II so desired, ;"
When It was suggested to him that
Republicans were claiming to be able
to eliminate the trust evils by publ
city measures, while the Democrats
and some part Of the Independent
voters on the other hand claim the
only adequate remedy il reform OF the
tariff, the president said:
"You may say this for me, that Mr.
Cleveland gave IL M his opinion that
the trust question will not be elimi-
mated from the next presidential can
vass, and expressed himself ~ being
entirely unable TO sec how that qucs-
ton could be wholly divorced from
the tariff issue, to say nothing OF the
absolute necessity OF II good old-fash-
Toned insistenco upon tariff reform for
It's own sake and what 1t would do for
the people of the country"
Good for Mr.. Cleveland Tariff
reform should be insisted upon not
only rs n means OF removing the
shelter from trusts, but for It's own
sake because II would promote the
general welfare. The issue should be
joined between the wise aud beneiicent
policy OF low tariff taxation on the
one hand and the unwiso aud hurtful
policy OF high tariff taxation on the
other hand n policy of commercial
freedom against n policy Of shackling
trade, The American people ought
to be nearly unanimous for tariff
reform for its own sake.

A spirit of sturdy hopefulness ran

conditions, he said:
"There Is great complaint now about

Just what the people make 1t. II the
voters are venal their representatives
will be corrupt. If the voters wore
their sovereignty under their hats
and shrlned 1t In their hearts and went

men as they would trust rs admins
traitors OF their estates and guardians
OF their children, we would not need
any primary election laws. The gov

iLo here, or 81 - there IL the Christ

the kingdom of God is within you;
you, you and you, and you are the

in your shoes, sits down when you SIT

goes wherever you go. 1t Is ready to
do all and singular whatever you wish
it to do, as soon rs IL knows you

back up your demands by your vote.

Mr.. Booth Is right, Every Amcri-
can citizen ought to be n man OF indie

never fail in their performance. 1t Is
his first duty to attend his caucus or
