Salaries Of New York Editors.

It seems to afford the editors Of Park
Row some satisfaction to compare the
salaries of the life insurance presi-
dents with that Of the president OF the
United States. Two insurance prexi-
dents make three times Roosevelt's
lump. and there are about dozen men
In the employ Of the companies whom
the public never hears Of who would
not change jobs with Mr.. Roosevelt II
the money was the only consideration.
The editors themselves do not rank In
point Of salary with the big men Of the
insurance or industrial enterprises.
They say that Arthur Brisbane pulls
down q yearly salary OF $4,000 from
Hearst. This IL a top notch price for
editors. St. Clair McKelway. editor
Of the Brooklyn Eagle. Is said to draw
only $4,000, Most of the big editors
here are presidents or managers OF
their companies. and they draw sala-
ries as such. II they depended on theil
fountain pens or their typewriters they
would not average over $4,000 a year

A MERGER OF CHURCHES.

There is a tendency in the religious
world to a merger OF hltherto li'oe-
pendent organizations as is illustrated
by the combination of the two pran-
ches of the Presbyterian church, and
there is no complaint that such mer-
ger is contrary to public policy, but
rather the reverse.
It ia based on the fundamental con-
sideration of modern mergers-admin-
tratiye efficiency and economy. 1t mas
become apparent to the Presbyterian
organizations that it was extravagant
to maintain in hundreds of towns TWO
church outfits, ministers and congrega-
lions when one would serve the pur-
pose, and the same point apples
throughout the church organization to
foreign and home missions, to educa-
tfonal. charitable and like interests. An
unnecessary burden Is imposed upon
the membership and great deal OF
money and energy expended in mere
machinery that could be better be-
slowed.
The union of the two bodies will do
away with all this waste. In point OF
fact the same considerations apply to
a great deal of the independent church
organization. There is no end OF need
less duplication which operates as an
immense tax not merely on the mem
bership of the church organization, bu'
also upon the community generally.
Many Of the doctrinal differences or
which independent church organiza'
tions have been built are trivial or a
least unessential. or have been wiped
out by time and the progress Of events
even in cases where they were origt
nally important.
In short there is no field in which tn
watchword of combination" Is NOR
appropriate today than in church work
and the tendencies of the age point t
activity along this line.

FOR BETTERMENT OF THE
SCHOOLS.

At the recent meeting of the Idaho
important step was taken toward the
better adjustment Of the various types
Of schools which are carrying on the
work.
A great barrier to the accomplish
ment of better results up to the pre-
sent time has been the lack Of definite
quantitative estimates OF the condi-
lions of our rural and graded schools
as well as lack Of proper UNDER
standing Of the real purpose Of the
work of our state institutions.
To obtain definite information on
these fundamental points, Mr.. Black
was elected chairman of committee
Of the scientific investigation of edu-
cational work and educational policies
In Idaho and was given the power to
elect the remaining members Of the
in the work Mr.. Black chose Miles F
Reed, Department of Education, Uni
versity Of Idaho. Superintendent A. G
Sears, Idaho Falls, President Axline
Albion State Normal School, Count,
Superintendent Cora B. Bean Of Can
yon County.
This committee will commence It
work at the earliest possible date AM
its report will be printed and submit
ted to the State Association at its mex
meeting. Copies of this report will ais
be placed on file in the libraries Of tn
departments of Education in our lead
Ing universities.
This will be the first definite study l
education based upon the educations
work Of Idaho and it is expected tha
this report will serve as a basis for fu
ture legislation.

THINK 1T OVER

The controversy over the naviga-
bility Of the Clearwater river seems to
have settled itself down to this basis,
Dam it you can" and Dam it you
can't" Looking up stream the citizens
Of Lewiston say to the government
Dam 1t you can" and looking down
stream the citizens of Orof1no say
Dam it you can't"
Director Redford's only interest IN
the big corporations seems to be clip
ping coupons from Standard Oil bonds.
The Spokane papers are probably
right in the plans of the Milwaukee.
There will be two Milwaukee roads In
Idaho. One will be the cutoff follow
ing the river grades to the sea, the
other will be an "air line to Spokane
The Russian government seems to be
working along the same lines that
General Sheridan did in solving the In
dian problem and has reached the con
clusion that the good revolutionist Is
the dead revolutionist.

r T has been said that the conduct
of life is not a science. but an
art Admitting in a measure this
definition the logical conclusion is
that much in life is, simply reflex,
mechanical rather than mental; much
that is environment rather than in
nate. If this be true of the individual
the same is true of the community,
which is simply an accretion of indi-
viduals. individuals and communities
alike demonstrate type characters.
San Francisco is, or was, strong in
type characters. We say was" be-
cause her present stage is one of evo-
luton toward type. San Francisco
since April 49, differs from San Fran
cisco prior to that date. That is I
matter for future consideration; we
desire to dwell upon few of the
suggestions which presented them
selves in the period of disintcgration
when the old ethics of the community
were grinding in confusion as the
sudden arrest of routine life broke the
mass into its component parts, social
drift wood, apart and distinct, but
destined ultimately to cohere and re-
form; a community modified alike by
its coercive birth, necessities and en-
vironment.
San Francisco was autocratic in
effect, but not by confession; self
laudatory, but slovenly; imperious,
but lacking in self-respect; mistaking
size for greatness; spontaneou:
rather than creative; emotiona
rather than stable; fraternal rather
than brotherly; a community novel
and attractive rather than winsome.
| The brand was popular and the type
assimilative. Thus faceted the citi-
zen was semi conscious of an individu
ality which had not its exact counter
part in any other section of America,
if, indeed, in any other center of civili-
cation
Thus constituted as was his wont
the citizen retired to rest April II
as he had done for many years and
as he expected to do for many more
to come. He had at times certain
signals suggestive of possible up
heaval, but they left no impression.
Why should they? 1t was San Fran
cisco" and that for him was sufficient
guarantee for immunity, SO he con-
cluded. But the 18th came-it came
rudely, unintroduced. Even the
papers were uniformed; that was IN
itself unpardonable. The citizen
awoke annoyed by the manner OF
awakening, not dismayed. The coarse
intrusion was persistent; this was
perplexing, and more in resentment
