Caustic criticism of the prevailing
salary schedule for Chicago high
school teachers is contained in reports
recently presented to the school
management committee by Superin
tendent f. G. Cooley. In a joint re-
port on the requirements for high
school teachers certificates the super
intendent and the committee of high
school principals said:
"Blacksmiths, foundrymen and ma
chinists have frequently been ap-
pointed at salaries ranging from
$1,000 to s1,40o. while teacher after
teacher of academic subjects has re-
fused to come to Chicago, after he
has passed our examination, because

In a second report, presented by
himself alone. Mr. Cooley said:
The dearth of men teachers, not
alone in the special departments, but
in English, science. mathematics and
he other subjects of the regular high
school course, is one of the most
alarming consequences of our present
insufficient salary schedules"

PROSPERITY is REruRNlNe.

The United States Steel Corporation
reports earnings for the quarter end
ing September 80 amounting to s27.
106,274, an increase over the preceding
quarter OF seven millions and over the
March quarter of nearly nine millions.
The earnings for September were
greater than for either of the preced-
ing months of the quarter At the
same time the untitled orders at the
end of September were 3,421,977 tons
as compared with 3,313,S76 at the end
of the preceding quarter. The regular
preferred dividend of IL and the
common dividend of one-half of one
per cent were declared. From the
earnings there was appropriated So

set aside was s5,152,o23 as compared
with s195,595 for the June quarter and
1885, for the March quarter. The re-

'Bryan's Blunders' are discussed
ehtertainingly and informingly in the
editorial columns of the Waterloo
Courier. Among others, it is pointed
out that he began to run too soon and
too intensely and when he came to
the canal to be jumped he fell In. 1t
was manifest toward the close of the
campaign that the strain had caused
him to lose that mental balance. that
equanfmtty SO essential to oratorical
efficiency. He was inclined to scold
toward the close. Then he changed
front in the midst of the battle and
this is almost always fatal. He start
ed out as the heir to the Roosevelt
policies, as being a better Roosevelt
ian than the average Republican.
Thts was a dangerous but drawing
attitude. It was we'll calculated to
draw toward him many independent
progressive Republicans. But he mis-.
calculated Roosevelt of whom he pro.
claimed himself the heir.
Lastly Bryan laid too much EN-.
phasis on Gompers' effort to lead the
labor unions into the Democratic
camp. The working men of America
are thinking men and cannot be led
as unit in any direction. The gen
eral result shows that American vot-
ers are thinking men who still have
their own opinions and are not liable
to be stampeded by campaign claims or
straw votes OF bugaboos in general.
