ONE MAN ELECTS
SIXTEEN OFFICERS

PARIS. May 1.-THE commune of
Grenoble has established a novel prece-
dent in elections. Because they were
dissatisfied with prevailing political con-
ditions, the voters have gone on a
strike. On the d6y set for a municipal
election not a voter went to the polls.
On the second election one ballot was
cast. This man voted for sixteen Of
ficers, and they were declared elected.
Many of the candidates were greatly
surprised at their victory. They did
not want the offices, as they are par
tisans of the strike. and probably viii
not accept.

Pay for Men and Women.

Mayor Mcclellan, of New York,
has vetoed a bill passed by the New
York Legislature, providing that
men and women in the public schools
who do like work under like circum-
stances shall have like pay. The
bill would have added about $1,000
600 to the school expenses of the
greater city it the salaries of the
women had been raised to the level
of the compensation given men. On
the other hand, however, if it had
been construed in the other way,
and the salaries of the men had
been reduced, it would have effected
small saving. On this construc-
ton, which would probably have
been put upon it, in view of the
city's present fiancial situation, the
men would practically have been
driven from the teaching corps of
the city.
The question ''Shall women receive
the same wages as men for like
work?" will doubtless be reargued
on the strength OF this action
There are more obvious arguments
in favor of the contention of the
teachers than against them. The
very proposition which the New
York woman teachers made their
battle-cry, Equal pay for equal
work." has a fair and fetching
sound. It is difficult to answer.
Yet every student of social condi-
tions knows that there are very real
and practical difficulties and objec-
tiOns relating to giving absolutely
equal pay to women for like work.
There is first the question whether
they actually do equal work" In
most cases they do not, because in
nearly all occupations there are
phases of usefulness for which the
women are not fitted. Even in
teaching. a profession fast being sur
rendered to the women, there has
lately been d revulsion against the
Termination" of the schools, and
u growing demand that more men
be employed as teachers. There is
a consensus of testimony in favor of
this reform, so extensive and expert.
that it is entitled to serious consid-
Grafton. Certain it is, that men are
not to be had at the same wages as
women.
Another aspect may be called the
social one. The average woman in
gainful occupation does not expect
10 make it a life work The vast
! prepOnderance of chance favors her
leaving such pursuits to become q
wife. On the other hand, the man
is expected to be a producer to the
end, and 10 assume the responsible
ity for more than himself.
In the profession of teaching this
argument may seem not so strong in
favor of higher wages to the men as
in some other departments of .activ-
| ity; because most men who teach do
! it only as a stop-gap a temporary
Occupation to earn money to educate
themselves. Yet, it is even here
good reasoning. For If r larger pro
portion of men are 20 be induced
to make teaching a life work, their
| services will have to be rated higher
