Uses the Pruning Knife.

Paul Morton drew forth the pruning
knife and slashed into the big salaries
that have been paid to the officers of
the Equitable Life. The reduction is
twenty per cent in all salaries over SD
600 per year, fifteen per cent in all sal
aries between $4,000 and $4,000 inclu
sive, and ten per cent in all above $500
and below $4,000. The reductions take
effect ON Aug. L. 1t is estimated that
the cuts will effectIa saving of from
$l5O,OOO to 100000 a year. Among the
officers principally affected, besides
Chairman Morton himself, are Second
Vice President Gage r. Tarbell, who
draws 100000 a year; Comptroller Thos.
d. Jordan, $4,000; Third Vice Presi
dent George T. Wilson, $4,000, and Sec
rotary William Alexander, $4,000. ~
Miss Anna L. Amendt, who as Mr.
Tarbell's former stenographer and pres
ent assistant was getting $4,000 a year

worry along on $4,000, a trife more
than the salary paid to H. II. Rogers
$4,000 private secretary, who until the
discovery of the $3.50 week job held
by Miss Amendt was supposed to be the
highest salaried woman private secre
tary in the country.
The reduction in salaries is only the
first of series of schemes Mr. Morton
has in mind for reducing the expenses
of the Equitable's working force, it was
said by those in touch with him. 1t
will be followed by reforms in several
of the departments, notably the agency
department, which the chairman is in
vestigating. Uniform rates of commits
sion will be figured out for the solicit
ing agents, it is thought, with prob
able reduction for the general agents.

Farmers Will Be Interested.

The harvester trust discharged Swift.
Mrs. Swift retorted with suit under
the antitrust act, says The st. Paul
Dispatch. Now Swift comes back with
suit for violation of the rebate act
and makes a lot of railroads party de-
fandant But what will interest farm
ers most is his allegation that the trust
makes harvesters at cost of $5S, gets
500 for them from agents, who get 1925
for them from farmers. This may lead
them to ask why the Dingley act should
protect" harvesters with a tax of TWEEN
ty per cent ad valorem on imports of
competing machines.

President Not a Dictator.

Walter Wellman frowns on the sug-
gestion that President Roosevelt will
attempt to dictate his own successor. In
a letter from New York the we'll known
correspondent says that President
Roosevelt will not make the slightest
effort to name his successor in the
White House. He will leave the choice
of the next Republican candidate for
president wholly to the party. All talk
Mr.. Roosevelt will try to make Taft
or Root president in 1908 is. beside the
mark. For this statement | have the
highest possible authority that of
President Roosevelt himself.
With friend who called <on him at
Sycamore Hill ga few days ago, Presi-
dent Roosevelt discussed what he term
ed the absurd rumors that he was plan
ming to make Taft or Root his sue
cessor One day the newspaper gossips
were sure Secretary Taft was the chos-
en- one. The next day, when they learn
ed Elihu Root was to be the new secre-
tary of state, they switched over to
Root and declared he was to be the
Roosevelt candidate for 1905 Some pa
pers even went so far as to assert
that one of the conditions of Mr..
Roots acceptance of the secretaryship
of state was that he was to have Mr..
Roosevelt's SUPPORT for the presidency.
The president laughed at these ru-
mors, and remarked that he hoped ev-
cry one who knew him would know
that he was incapable of trying to diet
tate to the Republican, party whom it
should name for his SUCCESSOR. 5,8f
So far as the 1908 man is concerned
it is an open field. Mr.. Roosevelt viii

Oh, Those IconocIasts.

+ How our idols are shattered! The
ever present conoclast deals blow that
skaters our faith in history as she is
writ" For years upon years the tale
of Madam Molly Pitcher has been held
mp to the eyes of the world as por-
travail of the daring deed of woman
in the hour of peril. When at school
we read of the battle of Monmouth, and
how Mrs. Pitchers husband was Slot
dead at his cannon, how Molly took up
the work. and fired volley after volley
of shot and shell into the British ranks,
and General Washington, admiring her
courage, presented he'd with a sergeants
commission. 1t is indeed one of the
pretty stories of the Revolutionary war,
but now comes newspaper from away
out west. The Butte Inter Mountain,
with a tale that rather spoils that given
above:
Zone version given some credence is
that Molly's husband was intoxicated
in the battle and that Molly CHANGED
that way, in search of her Grant spouse.
Seeing him limp beside his gun, Molly
had taken up hammer, with view to
awakening the valiant Pitcher by a.
crack over the head. A regiment of
charging British, seeing M'yolls wild
eyes and savage mien, believed she had
assumed charge of the battery and fled.
Molly, quite unconscious of how she had
turned the tide and won for Washing
ton, thereupon dragged Pitcher off in
triumph to. neighboring well, where
she sobered him up"
Oh. these iconoclastic fellows! Why
will .sthey spncture those stories which
are held almost sacred and bring to the
common level those who have been plac-
ed on pedestals so that they could be
admired for heroic deeds performed?

Mankato's Summer Training School.

The fame of Mankato's summer train
ing school is widespread. Teachers from
all over the northwest are assembled
here to receive instruction along the
lines of their chosen work. 1t must GER
tainly be gratifying to the instructors
in the school to have such large ellen
tage gathered from points in several
states. The fact that so many young
men and women come to the Mankato
school is elf-evident that the institu-
ton lives up to the reputation it es
tablished several years ago when the
first school of its kind was opened here.
And the fact that so many teachers
will give up six weeks of their summer
vacation to the pursuance of knowledge,
is evidence that they are more than in
terested in the labor which they are
called upon to perform during the bal
ance of the year. 1t is sacrifice on
their part. They eschew the pleasures
and pastimes of these joyful days and
apply themselves to various tasks. But
they are aware that their labors will
not be in vain. The training they re-
ceive better fits them for their school
room duties and this is in itself rec
ompense for all the pleasures they have
missed during the period of their in
struction.
Mankato people should feel pride in
the fact that the training school here
has the largest enrolment of any in the
state. This information was given in
The Free Press few days ago.
Mankato has reputation as an edu-
cational center and it will always be
maintained.
1t must be borne in mind that every
one of the 600 and more students that
are now attending the training school
