peal to the women of America to abb

SWITZERLAND, whose referen-
dunn and other popular institutions
have caused this country to be
regarded as the model republic,
changes its president every year.
This does not mean that every
twelve months the country goes
through the throes of a presiden-
tial election, with its d~isarrange-
ment of business, its rivalries,
back-bitings and stirring up of
the political animosities. 1t only
means that the vice president
peacefully, and in the natural or
der of things succeeds to the
office of chief executive. This in
in many ways is an excellent ar
rangement. The president know
ing that he cannot succeed him
self, devotes his whole time to his
legitimate duties, and resorts to
no time-serving policy or intrigues
that may further his reelection.
1t also places the vice president
in training for the more exalted
and higher office, and adds new
dignity to his secondary anc
rather irresponsible position

PEACE hath her victories no
less than war, and commerce may
be said also to have her battle
ships. North Dakota has no war
ships to bear her name, but in the
great commercial steamship Da-
kota she has a worthy namesake
upon the high seas. The launch
ing of this great vessel at New
London on February 6 marked an
epoch in ocean commerce between
the Pacific coast and the vast ORR
ent. No single individual has
done as much to upbuild Oriental
traffic as Jas. J. Hill, who is the
originator and builder of the great
twin sisters, Dakota and Mime.

Who Gets the Profits?

"Who profit by the high price of
meat?" asks Secretary Wilson.
SEARCH me-" replies th%eproducer.
"Yon won't find any of it concealed
about me-" is the response of the consu
mer.
Neither killer nor retailer say anything.
Both to use somewhat homely metaphor,
are busy saving wood.
Meanwhile, the astounding discrepancy
between hoof and block prices, refuses
obliteration. The figures stand out
aggravatingly plain to the meat eater
and ruinously so to the man who makes
it.
Choice lambs sell at s5.75 to 500 per
cwt on the Chicago market. Little of
the meat vended at city stores is of that
quality. But admitting that top mar
ket prices were paid for all the meat on
sale, 10 to IS cents per pound retail for
lamb is exorbitant. These prices do
not refer to choice cuts, but to whole
quarters.
Secretory Wilson is at liberty to &C
through the pockets of the live stock
grower, if he desires to ascertain why
meat is dear. He will find no ill gotten
wealth there.-Ceicago Live Stock

ABOUT SCHOOL TEACHERS.

From various parts of the coun-
try comes the complaint of a
dearth of. school teachers. The
complaint is especially insistent
in the West, but it is also heard in
the East. Teachers of a certain
sort are always to be had, but the
supply of the kind of teacher that
the more enlightened educational
authorities would like to employ
does not seem to be keeping up
with the demand. The inference
is that we%ll-trained and energetic
young men and women, who in
other days would have taken up
teaching as a temporary calling,
are finding an outlet for their
talents in other directions.
Perhaps a glance at the latest
annual report of the Commission
er of Education will help to make
it clear why this is so. In 1902
there were employed in the pub
lie schools of the United States
43o,5o6 teachers, of whom 122, 1872
were men and 317,2o4 women. In
1870 the percentage of men teach
ers was al; and in 1890 it was
34.5; in 1902 it had fallen to 27.8.
The average monthly salary of
men teachers in the United States
in 1902 was a trife over $50, while
the average woman teacher re-
ceived something less than $40 a
month.
The aggregate expenditure for
schools in the United States in
1870 was less than s7o,ooo,ooo in
1902 the aggregate expenditure
was over S235,ooo,ooo. The mum.
Der of pupils IN daily attendance
on the public schools in 1870 was

two years of rs per cent. A.
the increase in the aggregate
school expenditure during the
same period was 1857 per cent
it is evident that the increase lr
salaries has not kept pace with
other school expenses by co., pei
cent. Either fewer teachers are
employed in proportion to the
number of pupils, or the average
teacher is getting less money thar
was the case a generation ago.
If the people of this country ar
going to maintain the lead tina
they have taken in the industrial
progress of the world they mus
make their schools better and bet
ter, and they cannot do this with
out employing the best teacher
that are to be had, and they can

Marvellous Aerial Globe.

One of the attractions planned for the
St. Louis Worlds Fair will be an aerial
globe, 700 feet high. Some idea of its
magnitude can be obtained after CON-
pairing it with the popular Ferris wheel,
which is considered a crude affair beside
it. This statemen. is also appropriate,
after comparing the celebrated Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters with other stomach
remedies. Its 50 years record of cures
puts it so far in the lead as a family med.
icine that the others are considered
crude affairs and hardly worth a trial.
Then don't delay longer, as delay is
always dangerous, especially in cases Of
indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, bill
liousness, insomnia, chills, colds or ma

lively cures these ailments as thousands
have voluntarily testified. Try it and
