STARVING SCHOOL TEACHERS

At the state teachers association
held in Hartford, Conn, October 16,
Ii was reported that there were 95
teachers receiving five dollars OF less
a week and over two hundred receiy-
ing six dollars or less. The conditions
TO which plutocracy has brought the
masses in the east could not be better
demonstrated than by the above facts.
The wealth that has been piled up
In Hartford by great corporations Is
beyond the conception OF the ordinary
man, and In that very spot school
teachers are paid five and six dollars
week. The same thing Ii true where

ALL HAIL THE SOUTH

The Independent has noticed the
fact that an Alabama court, in the
face OF an almost universal popular
opinion, rendered verdict allowing
a negro to vote Notwithstanding the
recent legislative efforts to disfran-
chise negroes. We all remember the
action of the northern universities of
Brown and Stanford which under the
pressure of plutocratic public opin-
ion drove out their best men and un-
dertook TO destroy All academic free
dom. A pressure much fiercer was
brought TO bear upon Trinity college
at Durham. N. c.. but its trustees and
faculty have stood unmoyed.
Iroi. j. s. Barrett OF that college
recently published an essay upon the
race problem and In II was the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"A man whose mind runs away

THE HARVESTER TRUST

The managers of the harvesting ma
chine trust calculated wrong when
they thought that the farmers of this
country could berobbed of several mil.
lions more year than had been got
out of them. The trust raised the
price of agricultural instruments all
around, but it has learned that it was,
taking all the traffic would bear be-
fore the raise was made and it has
left on it's hands tremendous amount
of unsold goods. Still being afflicted.
with the notion that 1t can rob with.
cut limit, it has not lowered its, prices
but has discharged $4,000 employees
and Is going to stop production. 1t
will find in the end that it can't get
any more out of the farmers than it
got before the raise was made. The
traffic won't bear it. 1T must take it's
choice of selling few machines at ex-
tOrtionate prices or many machines at
reasonable prices. The selling of few
machines which involves the dis
charge of workmeng brings in its
trains many evils that will react upon
the trust and upon all other lines of
business. This trust, as we'll as all the
other trusts should follow the policy
Of the railroads and never try to take
more than the traffic will bear.

The Indians have at last made their
statement through their own paper,
the Ogalalla Light, published at the
Pine Ridge agency. The truth seems
to be that the sheriff fired upon these
Indians without sufficient cause. They
had violated no law and killed no
game. That this statement is substan-
TALLY true is shown by the fact that
when they were arraigned in court
the case against them was dismissed.
Next year the newspapers will get up
another Indian war as they do every
year. The dailies will make big scare
heads and the whole thing will be
gone over again.

The Independent is now enabled to
give the official figures on governor
for the recent Iowa election. They
are:
Cummins, rep. ................2 23S, 1913
Sullivan, dem. ................l .l59,1O0
Hanson, pro- .................. lz,3to
Work, soc. 0,fi3
Weller, pop. .................. oS3
Total Al ,5o1
Cummins' plurality ............ 7J,090
Cummins' majority ............ 59,b44
The exceedingly small vote cast for
Weller, the populist candidate, is evil
dence Of how thoroughly the work of
benevolent assimilation" OF the peo-
raae,s raae,s party by the democratic party
in that state has been accomplished
by the aid of the former populist lead
ers of Iowa. The Independent believes
that General Weaver, Editor Robb
and others were sincere in their eff
forts to overthrow republican misrule
In Iowa by abandoning the populist
organization and entering the demo-
cratic party. But the effect has not
been what was expected For example
the vote on governor ten years ago
was:
Jackson, rep. ................2O .2O7 ,US9
BOieS, dem. ...................I7 .I74, ,I08
Joseph, pop. .,............... 13,So8
Mitchell, pro. ................. 1882
Total .416,017
Jackson's plurality ............ 32,381
The entire opposition to Jackson
had 1889 votes more than were cast
for him. The absorption of the peo-
pies party had this net result, COM
pairing the vote of 1893 with the vote
or 1903:
Republican gain ....fs... 81, ,7O9
Democratic loss ....e..... $4,000
Populist loss ..........,. "a, ,209
Prohibition gain ......... 2,046
Socialist gain ............ 6,479
Increased vote ......... 1885
On the face of these figures, allow
ing the increased vote of ,935 to be
credited to the prohibitionists and So
cialists, the conclusion is, still ire
sistible that 31,709 men who voted for
Boies and for Joseph in 1893, voted for
Cummins in 1908.

for genuine rebuilding of the pop
ulist organization. The ebb tide is
over Weller's vote is low water
mark. Let those $50 who voted for
him constitute themselves "The Old
Guard of Populism' in Iowa. Let them
do some missionary work.

How to draw the line between en-
terprises which should be carried out
by the government and those which
should be accomplished by private in
itiative, is one of the puzzles of the
present day. Speaking of the Panama
canal, President Roosevelt says: "The
course of events has shown that this
canal cannot be built by private en-
terprise." Why not? Is it such a
small affair? The United States is
impotent to build and operate a
transcontinental railroad-that is too
herculean job, and can only be done
by private initiative. But canal less
than fifty miles long seems too big or
too little, or too something, for the
captains of industry" who think it
nothing to build and operate any
where from three to twenty thousand
miles of railroad.

The Colombian statesmen of course
committed the supreme folly when
they threw away that chance to make

more out of Uncle Sam, but they did
something nearly as foolish when they
offered Germany piece of the Colom-

turn for German help to assist in
overthrowing the new Panama repub-
lie. 1t is not certain that such an
offer was made, but the Consul Gen.

clared that it was to be made and evil
IDENTIFY expected the declaration to
make sensation at Washington. In

Somehow the world very soon forgets
the man who makes it laugh. A recent
visitor to the old home of Bill Nye. in
North Carolina, complains that the last
resting place of the great humorist is
utterly deserted and without any mark
except the tangled and rank weeds,
with an empty bottle lying there where
someone has thrown it from the high
way. The same unkind treatment is
accorded the graves of those other great
Observation-Disclosures Ward and Seba
Smith, known in literature as Major
Jack Downing. These three men were
all born in Maine, though only one of
them sleeps the last sleep within its
soil, and made more people laugh than
any other trio of Americans during the
10Th century 1t seems pity that their
resting places are so soon forgotten and
neglected The world owes much to
them and to their memory, and even if
it does not erect stately monuments
over their dust, the least it can do in
decency is to keep the weeds and rub
bish off from their graves.

Bishop Halsey, colored, earnestly ar
CUES that there can be no solution of
the race problem in this country until
the negroes are segregated in two states
of the Union, where they shah have
absolute control, except such oversight
as the national government has over all
the states. The scheme may be an
ideal one. and it may be more practical
than that which has been several times
advanced to deport all the negroes to
Africa, but still it is so impractical that
nobody can expect to see it carried out.
No states would be willing to give
themselves up to such a purpose, and
an exodus of the colored race to any
new territory, for instance in Canada
or Mexico when they are annexed,
could hardly be accomplished. If such
a thing is ever brought about, it will
be because the negroes in one or the
other states Of the South through edu-
cation and industry make themselves
so strong that they will rise in power.

SAVED FROM DEATH.
The Rescue Of Mrs Van Alstyne al
Johnstown.
Her Life Was Despaired of and She
Cried Because She Thought She Was
Going to Die.

To be on the verge Of death, to be con-
sidered beyond the aid of the best medi-
cal Skill and then to be restored to all
the pleasures and duties of life, is an
experience so rare that it's telling will
interest most readers. Mrs. Charles
Van Alstyne, of No. 307 West State
street, Jamestown, N. Y, who is now
enjoying perfect health, was. a few
years ago, a victim of anaemia, dis
case i'm which the blood becomes def
cient in quantity and quality so that
all the tissues of the body are starved
and death frequently results. Indeed,
