Such men are most dangerous when
they are concealed. When they get
out into the open the people get at
them. From appearances Mr. Harri-
man and his ilk have found few state
legislatures on the market during the
past winter As they confess their
purposes and expose their methods
they will find the market growing
tighter. The country is greater than
the Harrmans, the real manhood OF
the land above the reach of their dirty

AIN APOSTLE OF ANARCHY.

In his; monkeying around Mr. Harri-
man has finally landed against the
buzz saw Hartman wrote letters and
the letter finally came to light as such
letters often do. In this letter, pur-
ported to be written by the railroad
magnate, and published in a New
York newspaper, Hartman is made to
say that he was appealed to by the
for his. use in the New York election
and that he did raise a fund of a quar-
ter million to which he personally con-
tributed $4,000. The president char
acteriaes Harriman's statement as a
deliberate untruth. He says he never
requested the railway magnate to raise
mone,. and in short, tho not in mono
syllatiles, calls the man plain liar.
Thus it is the veracity of Roosevelt
against that of Hartman
All this happened back in the fall
of lat year. Mr.. Hartman talked as
well as wrote. He told the same thing
and more to Congressman Sherman.
1t is to be surmised that Hartman
and Sherman were having conyersa-
| ton in which reference to campaign
| funds bore a conspicuous part, for
Hartman said to Sherman, accord
| ing TO Sherman's report to Roosevelt,
| that he, Hartman, cared nothing for
the possibility of Hearst's success be-
cause those people were crooks and
what more than any Of the chautau-
| qua orators who are as a red rag to

| so plainly; that whenever he wanted
! legislation he could buy it from state

gress. and if necessary he could buy
| the judiciary" This brought the buzz

tioll that the man corrupt enough to
MAKE these boasts, however false they
may be, is as dangerous and undesir-
able a citizen as "Debs or Meyer or
Haywood" Il was Mortified" says the
president, "as was Root, when you told
US today what Hartman said to you"
The revival of this correspondence will
by many be found Illuminating on the
course of the president and his advis-
err; during the past year and half !,
1t is Well that Harriman's letter and
verbal statements have come out to
complete publicity. Many men have
heard assertions very similar made in
confidence by those who assumed to

WHERE DO THE BOYS COP

A Chicago newspaper noticing that
the age OF fourteen years, inquiries
where they spend the time between
that age and twenty-one. 1t Is a
proper aud pertinent inquiry, Where
does your boy stay and what does he
do between the time he quits school
and his majority?
Presumably the Chicago papers fig
ures apply most largely to Chicago. In
the smaller towns and in the country
boys do not as a general thing leave
school at fourteen. Those who quit
at that age are largely in the min

teen would come much closer to the
average age that boys in the smaller
cities and rural districts leave the
schoolroom for good and all.
Where do these boys go? In most
instances they go to work. The shops,
the factories and the stores are full
OF them. The average boy does some
thing, for the average youth has man.
illness, and parents With common sense
enough to know that the boy must
have occupation or degenerate. A little
observation will bring the conviction
that most boys are doing something
very shortly after their school days
are ended. Drop In at the bank, go
down to the machine shops and into the
factories, and you will find ten boys
at work where you find one loafer in
the pool halls, and other resorts where
the worthless youth are wont to con-
gregate. The manly boy is the rule.
The loafer the exception.
The inquiry should be made per-
sonal by every parent, Where is your

1t is criminal to look on, while a sui

to watch boy degenerate without

Where is your boy? At work or

SHORTAGE IN IOWA TEACHERS.
(Davenport Democratl

SHORTAGE IN IOWA TEACHERS.
Davenport Democracy
No doubt there Is deficiency of
good school teachers, not in some
parts OF Iowa, but all over the state.
This has been the generally felt want
for some years, and it has been grow
ing worse rather than better. 1t may
be attributed, in part at least, to the
rigid demand made by the state SUI
perintendent for repeated examina-
tons of teachers who have proved
their worth and fitness by years OF
efficient work In the school room. But
the principal cause lies deeper. 1t
is due to the unsatisfactory wages
paid teachers as a class. There are
men connected with the state univer-
sity at Iowa City, with the agricul-
tural college at Ames, and with some
twenty other colleges, able instructors,
who receive less money for their work
than professors of the same grade
rendering no better service in similar
institutions in other states. These
college professors, as a rule, who are
specialists, who have spent years in
preparation, do not receive as much
as high school principal in city of
10000 population.
Go to the other extreme and, take
account of the rural school teachers.
There are hundreds, yes, thousands,
of them in Iowa. And ,lt the end of
the year they do not have so much
to show for their time and effort as
the man who works on the farm by
the month. Their weekly earnings
are about one-fourth. or perhaps one
third of those of the carpenter, the
bricklayer, and others who do manual
labor. Yet the teacher has given as
much time to preparation for his or
her calling as the average working
man. So long as this condition exists
teachers will go into the schools mot
to remain permanently, but until they
can find employment that pays bet
ter.
There has been a fast growing de-
mand for years for men and women
who can do things Wherever they
can be found they are offered more
inducements to leave the school,
room than they are to remain in po-
sitions where they are not paid what
they are worth, as work and wages
go. There is a certain law that works
about as definitely as gravity. This,
mora than anything else, explains the
scarcity of teachers which the legis-,
lature of iowa is going to Investigate.

ing will be, at least what it ought to

Just how much sincerity there is ir

for protection to the general govern

reducing the value of millions of dol

to squeeze them dry. There is no cues

public is asked, even compelled to pay
twice the price they should for value
received. simply because such prices are
necessary for the corporations to pay
dividends on this watered stock. To IL
lustrate, the New York Elevated rail-
way stocks require a cent fare to
pay dividends on it's doubled Watered
stock The question would be easily
answered, if the original owners of this
system of transportation, owned all OF
the watered stock today. But with a
derilisle wisdom, they have sold
millions of it to men and women
that depend ON regular dividends for
their actual maintenance, !. e., bread
ana butter. President Melen, of the
