OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Money Question and the Saloon.

Money Question and the Saloon.
The one great cry the liquor men
have raised is that town cannot
get along without the revenue from
the saloon; that to do without that
revenue the taxes will have to be in
creased and they declare 1t will
make the burdens unbearable, but
the real taxpayer is not alarmed, he
knows it will not increase his taxes;
and if it did, he places the morals OF
his boys and his neighbors boys
above few cents.
Voting out the saloon is not a new
thing. In many of the eastern states
it is not an experiment. Town after
town has out-lawed the saloon, and
has not gone broke. 1t has become
an established fact that the pros
perity of a city or town does not
depend on the grog shop. The
friends of the saloon will tell you
that it does, but it does not Take
a certain eastern state I have in
mind there are now 500 towns
which have no saloons. The expert
rence of one dry town led to a neigh
boring town to take the same action,
until at this time more than half of
The whole number of towns in the
state are without open saloons Ii
absence of saloons hurts business
and increases taxes these towns, or
many of them, would not have so
voted. Scores of towns after doing
without saloons for two years have
voted the second time, and in great
many cases, the dry victory of the
first election has been emphasized
at the second. If the experiment
had not been beneficial would not
the people have voted to again per-
nit the saloon to do business? The
fact is, these towns have found it
better in every way to get along
without saloons.
From a money standpoint, they
are ahead of the game The liquor
men cannot point to a single town
living two years without saloons
which has an increased tax rate due
to the absence of the saloons. On
the contrary, these towns report bet
ter times. Bills more promptly paid,
better trade in the comforts and
luxuries, as we'll as the necessities

Concerning tn, Teacher.


and they are dear at any price.
Concerning tbs Teacher.
No amount of material equipment
will ever create GOOD school, unless
the trustees employ competent teach
ers. The boar6s of school trustees
should employ teachers only after
consulting the County Superinten-
dent, to determine fully as to the
qualification of their teacher, and
as to whether, in the judgment of
the County Superintendent, she is
qualified to teach the particular
school for which the school board
proposes to engage her 1t is often
times true that the teacher who
would be a success in one communi-
ty, is failure in another, and these
are matters which are easily with
in the County superintendent s
knowledge, and consultation With
the County Superintendent would US
ually prevent mistakes of this sort
being made.
School Sentiment.
The very best of school buildings,
furnished with the most modern fur
niture and appliances, and equipped
with the best possible apparatus and
books, and taught byethe best teach
err that the county affords, never will
create good school, and good school
conditions, unless the patrons of that
school will give to that school their
loyal support and hearty co-opera-
ton, unless they uphold the authori-
ty of the teacher, unless they compel
their children to attend school reg
ularly and punctually, and unless
they see that these young people do
not employ their time out of school
hours In any way which is detri-
mental to their doing good school
work.
Good school conditions depend,
therefore, very largely upon the
willingness of every individual in the
community to lend his assistance in
upbuilding the educational interests
of his school district. 1t will be
found in these school matters, as in
many other things of life, that the
people will best secure what they
want by exerting themselves to OBJ
tain, and by being willing to pay for
what they desire.
The common schools are the hope
of our country. Let each community
strive to make them as good schools
as they can be made

salaries. They are poorly paid for

possible. The average wage paid
is insufficient for a good living

stop to stock watering would be a
benefit to everybody except the
swindlers who profit by stock water
ing; it would benefit the honest
shareholder because honest invest
ments would not be brought into com
petition with mere paper; it would
benefit the wage-worker because
when the money earned does not
have to go to paying interest on wat
cred capital, more of it is left, out
of which to pay wages; it would ben
eft the shipper because when only
honest stockholders have to be paid
interest, rates need not be improper
ly raised; it would benefit the public
because there would be ample money
with which to give efficient service.
No Favoritism Among Shippers.
Similarly, the prevention of fav-
oritism as among shippers does no
damage to any one who is honest,
and confers great good upon the
smaller business men and the farm
er, whom it relieves of oppression.
Again, such supervision Of accounts
and management as will prevent
crookedness and oppression works
good, directly or indirectly, to all
honest people. Therefore every
thing that can be done along this
line should be done; and no mans
legitimate interest would thereby be
hurt. ri But after this point has been
reached great care must be exercised
not to work injustice to one class
in the effort to show favor to anoth-
er class, and each class naturally
tends to remember only it's own
needs. " The stockholders must re-
ceive an ample return on their in
vestments, or the railroad cannot be
built and successfully maintained:
and the rates to shippers and the
wages to employees, from the highest
to the lowest, must all be condition
ed upon this fact. On the other
hand, in a public service corporation
we have no right to allow such ex-
cessiye profits as will necessitate
rates being unduly high and wages
unduly low.
Must Work For Good Wages.
again, while in all proper ways
rates must be kept low, we must al
ways remember that we have no
right and no justification to reduce
them when the result is the reduc-
ton of the wages Of the great army
of railroad men. A fair working ar
rangemant must be devised accord
ing to the needs Of the several cases,
so that profits. wages and rates shall
each be reasonable with reference to
the other two-and in wages I in
clude the properly large amounts
which should always be paid TO those
