KEEP TEACHERS IN IOWA.

The complaint that las been made
by the heads of Iowa colleges that
pther states are drawing from Iowa
her best teachers by paying higher
salaries than Iowa pays, is repeated
by State Superintendent Riggs, who
declares that the graded schools Of
the state are being constantly drained
by the schools Of the west and north
west. Iowa school teachers rank high
and there is a constant demand for
their services for good positions IN
Washington, Oregon and Idaho at
higher salaries than Iowa school
boards pay. Superintendent Riggs as.
will be compelled to raise teachers
salaries In self protection. He says:
The schools in the states Of Wash
ington and Idaho particularly are fill.

Is comparatively easy for teachers
holding an Iowa certificate to get
schools in those states. The salaries
are enough higher to attract the best
teachers from Iowa. 1t has come to
the point where school authorities in
Iowa must pay higher salaries if they
want to secure and keep the best class
Of teachers. This does not apply To
the larger cities so much as to the
schools in the country and small
towns. We can't afford to educate
school teachers for other states. Be-

! thinking, but when subjected to the
analysis Of logic soon lose their SUBJ
stance As Prof. Monaghan shows, So
eialism and Christianity have nothing
IN common. Socialism is concerned
with gross material needs which 1t
vainly endeavora to satisfy. There is
no place In the MARKHAM theory for the
finer things in life, for intellectual and
spiritual culture. BY disregardins spec
ial abilities and gifts, reducing all
men to the same level Of mediocrity,
1t would kill that ambition which is
the inspiration to better and higher
life. Socialism shows but one side of
the picture The freedom" Of which it
speaks would really lead to despotism.
The elimination of all competition
would have the reverse Of whole
some moral effect, by removing the In
centiye to strive. All churches need to
be on the watch against the advocates
OF socialism.
Prof. Monaghan might have gone
step further and referred to the pro-
gress Of socialistic thought In many Of
our educational institutions, but no
doubt Bishop McFaul had this in mind
IN referring to some of the doctrines
taught at American universities. So
cialists Of the "parlor" type have been
active in organizing college students
for the study OF their peculiar princi-
pies and many enthusiastic young
fellows, animated by desire to turn
the world upside down, have become
eager converts, only to return to san
ity later and regret the manner In
which they have wasted their time. 1t
should be recognized that socialism
is wrong from the ethical as wen as
the economic standpoint, and ad-
dresses by men like Prof. Monaghan
will aid in acquainting the public with
the fallacics of the system and help
to counterfeit the work of the numer-
GUS and noisy agitators who call them
selves socialists.

THE YOUNG MANS CHANCES.

Exception is taken by the Des
Moines Register and Leader to the
statement made in Chautauqua adj
dresses by Thomas p Gore, the blind
senator from Oklahoma that "a new
country is the place for young
man with ambitions" In settled
country, Senator Gore says, the young
man has to take run or two
around the track in order to warm
up before he can race with the old
liners. In a new country it is an even
race all around The Register and
Leader replies:
There is apparently no deep seated
reason for a young mans seeking
virgin fields Of activity, unless he
happens to have prediction to the
new and the undeveloped There are
as many opportunities in one part Of
the United States as there are in an
other. 1t is only question of seeing
them and embracing them with the
right sort of determination.
AS a matter of fact, If the young
man is the right kind Of young
man, he does not have to worry a
may be doing. AS Senator Gore says,
uS might nave W exercise Oh the
track little. but after a few prelim-
inary heats. he can strike out and
run away from the old timers. He
ran, that is to say, if he is the bet
ter man. If he isn't the chances are
that he would not be better man
than the young fellows who colonize
the new countries.
A man can go just as far in Iowa as
he can in any new country, the Des
Moines paper concludes-if he is u
sgoer.'

The news of the helpless and grave
condition in which Robert J. Burdette
lies at his home in Los Angeles as
the result of recent injuries, says the
Sioux City Journal, brings regret TO
all 1oWans, and especially to Iowa

acquaintance go back a quarter Of {,
century, when he was one of them.
They will not think of the famous lee

The Clinton Herald believes that
when Iowa people grow enthusiast, C
over reports of the fortunes made on
some Of the farms of the western
states they should not lose sight Of
the fact that we can tell just as won

only difference is that these stories
here are not the exception to the rule
and for that reason attract no partic-
ular attention. IF we will but stop

conclusion that 1t is the people Of
