Do Not ALI Get Married.

"a mistaken but widely prevalent
idea is that most women who resign
the profession of teaching do so to get
married" said Prof. M. T. Leland, of
Chicago.
''The facts are that many bright wo-
men are quitting the teaching business
nowadays to take up lines of work out
of which they can make better SAL
aries. The average woman teacher has
to toll at the job about II years before
she is in receipt of stipend much
above $40 week. Many clever wo-
men can make better money than this
as expert stenographers, accountants,
nurses, typewriters, librarians and the
like after couple of years experience.
$50 it is that they fall out of the
pedagogue profession by the hundreds,
leaving in the schools big per cent.
of the least clever and competent, and
that is perhaps why we see in the
daily press so much adverse criticism
of our public schools. l for one do
not blame the smart woman for retir-
ing from a vocation where for years
her increase of pay is less than $40 per
annum."

VASSAR'S PRESIDENT WARNS.
Says Governments Tendencies Men,
ace The Republic.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June I'm
his baccalaureate sermon to Vassar
seniors today Rev. James Monroe
Taylor, president of Vassar College,
declared that the radical tendencies
the Government at this time are men
acing the republic.
"A startling change has come over
American political thought" said DR..
Taylor, in 10 years-since we became
a world power We were really
something of nation with some in
fiuence before that little Spanish War.
l am not now referring to the vast
ncrease-deplorable indeed-of war
talk and war feeling, but to the more
dangerous tendency to absorb Iegisla-
tive and even judicial powers into the
executive department of the Govern
ment. That is the worst single symp-
tom in our political horizon-far more
dangerous even than the threat of in
creased class feeling in our nation
for it strikes at the whole theory of
democratic government.
THE general acceptance of a doc
trine of paternalism is foolish, an un-
warranted faith in a government-in
its power to right the wrongs that
only the people can right-and it is
the cessation of government by the
people and for the people; and un-
less we turn about, as we surely shall
it is death knell of democracy-a
mortal stroke against the independ-
ence and the manhood of the citizen

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE IL, 1908.
POPULAR GOVERNMENT.

AS Mr.. Lincoln aptly put it, "a gov
ernment of the people, by the people
and for the people" That, accord
ing to American thought, is the idea
government. It is a form of govern
ment in which every citizen has equa
participation and equal interest
There was time, and not a very re,
mote period either, when such an idea
of government was regarded as absurd
and impossible.
The Anglo-Saxon race, through
great difficulties, was many centuries
preparing for it. And it finally came
and we do not believe that any spot
upon the earth was so well adapted
to the experiment as the North Amer
ican continent.
Here Divine Providence unfolded
this system of government, and for
nearly a century anu half it's devel-
opment has proceeded, until it may be
safely s. id. TO people in the world are
SO well governed and SO free. They
enjoy liberty without license, and are
subject TO law, without undue re-
straint.
THIS IS tire country IN which we, as
American citizens, live, and of which
We are Justly proud. And a country,
with its Representative form OF GOV
ernment which we are bound as good
citizens to hand down, unimpaired,
to the generations which follow us.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty was the warning of that pa
triot and statesman, Andrew Jackson,
and truer words were never spoken.
If the American people wish to pre-
serve their Inheritance, they must
watch it. We deplore corruption in
our politics, and it ought to be eradi-
Gated, but if this blessed country of
ours ever goes to pieces, it will not
be so much because of political cor
ruption as the Indifference of those
who never concern themselves about |
the politics of the country.
1t is the duty Of every American
citizen to take his place with his fell
lows in trying to make the govern
ment just what it ought to be, and
thus discharge the plain function of
good citizenship.
