OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
What Are Teachersf 

Through the smoke Cor rather the dust) and confusion of the agitation emerges at this juncture the unruffied' and dignifed figure of the business man in the guise of a commissioner of edu- ucation." To him the women's talk about equal pay for equal work is sem timental moonshine, and of course he Is not going to yield to it. To him the arguments of the men are not only too academic, but quite beside the mark. He can see no reason why the employe, man or woman, old or young mar ried or single. trained or untrained, should be paid one cent more than that sum for which you can get him, or a substitute, to work for. He need not pay more in his private busness, and so he need not do 1t, he thinks, in the citys business.
 theory is rather hard to predict. It's rigid application might lead to some disagreeable results. 1t might lead, for instance, to a condition of affairs in which teachers in common with oth- CT wage-earners, would be forced to choose between catch-as-catch-c scramble for office and preferment, and a union of forces for the advancement of their interests. In the former case we should have the edifying spectacle or the educators or our youth engaged in a tooth-and-nail struggle to keep the wolf from the door, of the men and women intrusted with the task of mak- ing men and women of our children playing the roles of subservient truck lers, and lick-splttles and cowardly beggars. In the other event, we should have the equally edifying spec tacle of the leaders of men, our train CTS for social efficiency and high think ing, forced to pursue the destructive tactics of the trades unions, forced, that is, to fight the State whose future citi- zens have been intrusted to their mold ing.
 When it comes to paying higher sal aries, the taxpayers representatives can glibly tell the teachers that if they don't like the conditions they don't need to stay. But if, after a thorough deliberation, the teachers should de- cide that they did not like the con- ditions, and all agree to step out on the same day, what consternation, what wailing, what a gnashing of teeth there would bel Mercenariesl Traitors Contract -breakersl Time -serversi Greedy men and women, unworthy to be teach- CTS, for teachers should be devoted to their work and not think of money
 It is difficult problem to solve But if we do not solve 1t nesw, we shall have to later and the longer we wait the harder will be the task.

THE OATH IN COURTS.

Those who have been much around courts, heard witnesses swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and then heard wit .nesses tell everything but the truth have their doubt about the binding power of the oath. Judge Paul Albers, of Breslau, Germany, has published an
 article on the subject of "The Oath" in which he takes strong stand against the prevailing custom of ad- ministering an oath to persons who are called upon to testify in courts of Justice. The writer tells of the changes which have been made in the manner. of taking the oath and how, in order to make the ceremony impress sive, various methods had to be em- ployed for Catholics, Protestants and Jews. All this, he contends, has no effect, because the good man tells the truth and the bad man tells what he likes, oath or no oath. "The spirit of the age and the undeniable fact that there are in every community good men who are agnostics and to whom an oath smacks of hypocrisy are req sons why the ancient injunction, Swear not at all, should be needed"
 To replace the oath the writer propos- es Q declaration of honor and consci- ence to tell the truth" Incorporated in

BACK! SLICK!

Colonel Watterson recently advised the Democrats to adopt "Back to the Constitution" as their war-cry. The New York Sun says: If there is Dem ocratic party, real opposition to the Republican party, and not it's parallel and double; if there is a Democratic party alive to the danger and duty of this time and faithful to the one steady Democratic principle, the platform of that party is plain and short. The flour ishes, the flapdoodle, the welter of fu- tile and impertinent matter that fills political platforms will not be needed. The issue is: Stick to the constitution! That covers the whole ground.
 We do not know that there is a Dem ocratic party, and we do not know just what Colonel Wattersons Back to the Constitution" means. It looks as if 1t means that the Democratic party, if there is one, has got away from the Constitution The Suns Stick to the Constitution! seems to mean that there is danger that the Democratic party, if there is one, will get away from the Constitution Perhaps the whole ground could be covered in two words, Back! Stick"

 this declaration should be clause to the effect that the witness knows that he will be punished if he Is detected in making a false statement. The judge closes his article with these words: "The oath has no place in courts of justice. Out with it!"
 Probably there would be no more truth told by witnesses if the oath were omitted, but there would be no less. The Bible says that all men are liars. and though all men don't lie all the time, many of them lie when it is to their interest to lie in court.

They have race problem in Nash vllle, Tennessee, and they are treating one branch of it in an interesting way. Tn the selection of colored teachers for the negro schools the board of educa- tion in Nashville has pronounced in favor of negroes of southern birth southern education and southern ties An example is the preference of a southern black for the head of new manual training department as against graduates of Harvard and other eastern and northern universities. This action is based on the theory that negroes from the north "have notions and are not familiar with southern traditions and sentiments"

It is in fact by just such reports as this one which discloses a settled realization of the educational rusiuess and the educational responsibility in- volve1. that Yale is made to stand forth as a practical thing; thing which practical men who have had no college or advanced schooling to guide them can understand. It is only inci- dental that the Sheffield school is grow ing while the college stands still; the important point is that Yale some where is successfully endeavoring to meet all the legitimate wants of the mixed population which makes up our census.

Though nearly all the metals have risen in price, mercury has fallen. This is due, says the Engineering and Mining Journal, to the decline of the process of pan amalgamation for working silver ore. Gold mines utilize very small quantities of mercury. The two great consumers are China and Japan, where it is utilized for manu- fracture of vermilion and explosives of secret composition.

Fargo Forum: Rapidly drawing
their weed killing campaign to a close
Professors Bolley and Pritchard Of the
A. C. have just completed a series Of
experiments conducted on farms in
the vicinity Of St. Thomas and Bath
gate. At st. Thomas the experiment.
ers were assisted by the O'Connor
Bros, but the work was done on the
Buchanan farm. "
AS a result of the. experiments the
professors have found cure for the
mustard and king head evil, and Pro-
fessor Bolley states that with the CO.
operation of the farmers of the state
these pestiferous weeds can be easily
and surely exterminated. Expert
ments with the root stalk weeds, such
as Canada and SOW thistles have not
brought such certain results, but the
investigators assert that they can
blight blossoms and buds of these
plants so that they will not produce
seed until after the grain crop is har-
vested Then it only remains for the
farmers to pull up the roots in order
to destroy the plants.
