LOW SALARIES
Or
THETEACHERS

OF the county oA-
THE TEACHERS aminers to J. H.
Hnemon, state
superintendent of public instruction,
are noticeable for their complaints
that manv teachers are quitting the
profession and engaging in other pur-
suits. So general has this become
until there is not now enough teach
ers in the state to meet the demand.
It is a condition to be deplored, but
it is one that will grow Wolse uniess
the people become willing to pay more
for the instruction Of their cmldleA.
OF course the complaint comes from
the country districts as the cities and
larger towns nearly all maintain
good system Of free schools nine
months of every year. The country
people are too negligent in the matter
of the education of their children, and
if they hope to see the state brought
up to the higher standards OF enllght-
eminent. the country people must make
I'D their minds to spend enCugh money
to secure competent teachers. 1t is
criminal to neglect the children IN the
matter of education.
Too many people think the public
school fund sufficient salary for
teacher. but that is mistaken idea.
The teacher who is competent TO prop
erly instruct the children in a coun-
try public school possesses enough
ability and intelligence to earn more
in other pursuits than can be earned
as teacher. hence the teachers aban-
don the profession for more prohtaple
emn}oyment. It will ever be thus un-
til the salaries are large enough u
draw teachers from the other voca'
tions of life.
Not only in Arkansas is there
scarcity of teachers on account OF the
low salaries, but the same complaint
comes from other substantially IN
.owa.. where an effort is being made
to bring teachers 'ff:.j the state to
supply the common schools.
At the recent teachers convention
in Boston. William McAndrew OF New
York who has been making an lnVes-
,ipation of this subject, presented
statement showing that the average
salaryof men teachers in the United
States is less than 1922 year and the
average salary of women teachers
is less than 1870.
No one will question the right OF the
teachers to better pay. Iney Hluss

NO CHARGES
AGAINST
BRECKENRIDGE


5REcKiNRIDeE corruption made
against govern
ment officials in the Indian Territory
it is certainly a pleasure to the PEG
pie Of Arkansas, and especially OF Pine
Bluff, to note tnat no charge Of a
scandalous nature has been brought
against Hon Clifton X Breckinrlage
members of the Dawes commission.
While there have been numerous hints
and c.EaEges CT irregularities On the
part OF the officials for some time, lis
,!:a1?-a las always remained clear
95aiab is 10 surprise to tl.Cse vic
new him, as he is a GENT man OF
the st1ictest integrity and higE Asst
sense of honor.
Commenting on the charges brought
the Indian Territory. the Little Rock
Democrat pays Mr. Breckenridge the
following Well-deaelVed compliment:
The Dawes commission is to be in
yestigated The chairman and other
members are mentioned as having
interested themselves in questionable
entel prises Hon. c. R. Breckenridge
hiss apparently Kept himself free from
:. csc entanglements and is not among
>nCse Who according to the dispatch
es, have aroused the i've Of Secretary
Hitch sock of the interior.
1t is said the Indians faVe been sys-
tematically robbed of their lands and
that government employees have vic
timized them otherwise.
Members of the Dawes commission
are said to belong to land and trust
companies which exist in that terri
tory, the purposes Of which have been
questioned by the interior depart
Tams Bixby and Thomas B. Needles
beth are mentioned as having incurred
the displeasure OF Secretary Hitch
cock
It is evident that an investigation is
to be ordered at once which is to in
clude the entire government service
The chances are that as many scan
dals as were revealed in the postal de-
paYtment may be developed in the In
dian service. 1t is needless to say
that all Arkansas will be delighted to
know that Hon. G.. R. Breckenridge has
so demeaned himself as to avoid any
mention among those who have sub
jected themselves to censure.
We shall not assume to say that
my member of the Dawes commission
1as violated the law. We are conf
dent that under any circumstances
the member from Arkansas will be
ready for all INQUIRIES
Other departments of the Indian ser
vice are to be overhauled, and those
who have profited by sharp practices
ferreted out. We have no doubt that
an honest inquiry will reveal many
irregularities Now that the ball has
been started congress will no doubt
keen it rolling till the corrupt prac-
tices that have disgraced almost every
department of state have been re-
yealed and suppressed. If the next
session does nothing but force proper
investigation it will do much 1Qr the
country and help to clear the atmos-
rhere in, localities where rascahtv
ahoundS to an alarming extent.

In the discussion of the trust ques-
ton there is more noise than sense.
The combined wisdom of Congress
does not seem able to solve the prob
lem. One man says the prevention of
freight determinations will cure the
trouble. Another thinks publicity will
do it. Still another wants the Inter
state Commerce Commission to tackle
the monster 1t is an axiom that in a
multitude of counsel there is wisdom
In this instance, however, the indica-
ton points to much legislation, but
small results. cut in the tariff wall
is the best way by which to reach the
citadel. But the chances are that the
good trusts will live, while those based
ON unsound principles will perish, like
others that have already gone to their
doom.

A REMARKABLE SHOT.
Tired In the Dark, 1t Injured Three
Men Half a Mile Away.

'Dne of the best and most remarka-
BILE shots made during the war with
Spain," said gentleman who made an
effort to get into the thick of the
fight, ''was, in my Judgment, made at
Miami and the man who fired the shot
was a Louisiana boy and member or
my company. He was doing duty as a
provost guard at the time. 1t was late
at night when the soldiers were reused
by the quick, clear crack of a Krag-
Jorgensen on the outskirts of the camp.
No particular attention was paid to
the matter at first, as only one shot
was fred. But with couple of Off
GERS we went out to where the guard
was stationed in order to find out just
why it was that he had fired at that
time of night He explained that he
had seen a man slipping through the
bushes some distance away and had
called on him to halt. He failed to
obey the command, and the guard
blazed away at him, more to frighten
him into a stop than anything else.
OF course, the fellow never halted. He
was probably too badly frightened to
stop at that time
"WhiIe we were talking to the guard
we heard a fearful noise at least half a
mile from the guards station, and we
| made a break for the place to see what
| the matter was. We heard several
people screaming as if in great agony.
Down the road we went at full speed,
and in a short while we came upon a
/ little cabin which stood on the road

l never heard such .,roaning and wall

| the house. They were in great agony,
and we asked them what was the mat

and sure enough they had been shot.
Zone was shot in the right arm, an
other in the back and the third in the
hip. They had all been wounded by
the same bullet. The man who was
wounded in the arm was lying on his

knife. Then it passed through the
feshy part of the third mans hip and
sped on.
1--WE could not find the ball. 1t had
passed through the side of the house
wounded the three men in the way in
dicated, bored through the wall on the
opposite side and kept on going. Now
that cabin was fully half a mile from
the point where the guard was sta
toned, and yet the shot he fired ha6
wrought all the havoc we found. p

Those who fear an overproduction of
liberia peaches should remember that
the great American appetite can in
crease rs rapidly as peaches, If this
most excellent fruit was convenient to
every person able to buy, would they
not eat, two, or three, or half dozen
where they have been accustomed to
the eating of one? A proper distribu-
ton of the fruit viii double or quadru-
pie the consumption, and the more the
people eat of it the more they will
want the next season. There are 100
peaches eaten now where half dozen,
none or one, were eaten twenty-five
years ago, and still the people do not
have enough. When a good market
opens all the Elbertas rush there,
while hundreds of smaller markets
are bare. Properly distributed there
is no immediate danger of oyerproduc-
ion.

WHAT Is MANI

What is man? Man that is born of
woman is small cabbages and few in a
patch. In infancy he is full of collie,
and catnip tea, and in old age
he is full of cuss words and rheuma-
tism. In his youth his maternal ances-
tor taketh him across her knee and
extends to him all the sympathy in her
nature with the heel end of slipper,
and when he is man he dodgeth the
tax collector and sheriff, until by some
hook or crook selling bad liquor, rot
ten cheese and maekerel heads while
beating around the bush he gathers IN
few sheckles, then he becomes pulled
up and spreadeth like camphor tree
and getteth political situation. Yea
becomes a great, good and very plous
alderman, and his friends cling to him
like sand-spurs to your pants legs. He
swelleth with vanity and cutteth fro
zen water for time, but is melted as
wax in a fire at the next election and
cast in the ash barrel where his name
is Dennis. Out of office his friends
forget to cling like vine around rot
ten stump and he soon goeth busted,
which maketh him lie down in the pas
ture where the redbugs get in his hail
and Undertaking. He goeth out Of
the world and to place where it is toe
hot to wear clothes. Verify, the last
end of that man is worse than than the
beginning, and the band played ''ho-
time in the old town.
