Senator Burton Indicted Again.

The Federal grand jury, convened at ST.
Louis yesterday, returned an indictment
against Senator Burton of Kansas. 1t is
stated that certain features in the former
indictment against Senator Burton.
which was quashed were remedied
in this new indictment. The allegations in
the present indictment are the same as in
the one quashed; that while senator of
the United States he accepted money from
the Rialto Grain and Securities Company
OF ST. Louis, for services rendered before
the Post Office Department In behalf of
that company. which was being investigat-
ed by inspectors. The only difference is in
the legal wording of the indictment which
is changed to avoid errors found in the for
mer indictment by United States Judge
Van Devanter. The new indictment
charges that Joseph Ralph Burton. while a
senator from Kansas, received from the
Rfalto Grain and Security Company $500 in
cash 1t Is charged that this amount was
paid in st. Louis. In the present indict-
ment Burton is not charged with receiving
any money in Washington, but he is
charged with having agreed, in ST. Louis
to accept $500 a month.

There has been a considerable improve
ment in the wages of teachers of recent
years Dr. Harris states that the general
average of monthly salaries in the whole
United States in 1870 was only S2S.54; in
1850 it had risen TO s37.46; in 1898 1t was $40
q month, and in 1903 it was $47.50 per
month which includes city as we'll as coun-
try teachers of all grades. superintendents
as we'll as assistants in the kindergartens.
At the same time DR.. Harris states that
the average earnings for each individual of
~, 900 0G0 wage earners in the United States
in 1900 was 81 .065.69 increase from
Ss49.0 in 1870. Assuming that the average
school runs six months in the year, the
average earnings of American school teach
ers are $2s5 year.
Various schemes have been suggested for
securing increase In teachers wages

commission appointed by President Roose-
Welt to settle the strike in the anthracite coal
regions shows on page 80 of It's report that
the annual earnings of contract miners,
based upon returns for the year 1901, range
between 1850 and 5000. Taking the figures
from which these averages have been made,
we find that 121 miners who made $50 starts
in the year Chat is. worked Il portion OF

the highest yearly earnings; and that 1o5
miners who made 1S5 starts chat is, work

miners who made the larger income work

The official returns from cities and towns
over 5000 inhabitants (Which pay the best

was much less than the wages paid In the
mines TO ordinary workmeD. The returns
cover about % 900 teachers and supervising
officers, and we find the following astonish-
ing figures:

In Chicago 4.Ji5 teachers are employed for
nine months, al an average annual salary of
$50 The lowest salary paid In Chicago Is
$3.50 Philadelphia. New York and Boston
pay equally good salaries.
The compensation of school teachers given
thus lar refers only to cities of 5000 or more
inhabitants. and not TO the rural schools. 1t
would not be fair to compare the wages OF
a country school teacher with those of a
city mechanic or even a miner. But city
teachers are rolling in wealth compared
with those in the country. In the state of
pennsylvania, for example, where the
miners L have alluded to are employed, the
average salary paid to men school teachers
IS S''')S.J3 and to women PISS per year. If
P1ttsburg and Philadelphia and other large
cities In the state were left out of the
calculation the average would be much
lower.
