DOL.tveR AND LAFOLLETTE.

Senator LaFollette is in great dis
favor in the senate. So much so that
the Aldrich crowd took occasion to
give him an absent treatment of abuse
when he had been kept away from
the night session after his speech rid
ding certain schedules which are as
the apple of the -Aldrich eye. LaF'ol-
II ette needed the rest and took 1t. de

after the recess. SO with the senatorial
courtesy that obtains for those Who
oppose the interests and with the
anxious desire to expediate work 50
characteristic of the senate when 1t IS

and Penrose took a fall out of LaFoi-

himself.
Perhaps Senators Gallinger and Pen

LET THE CHILDREN LEAD.

lSlOuN lily
The Dubuque Times-Journal sug-
gests that the next general assembly
should provide authority for the ex-
penditure of public money preferably
by the public school authorities, for
the proper observance of Memorial
day The civil war soldiers are rap
idly passing, and now there are not
enough of them remaining in the
smaller communities to execute a be-
coming program. 1t is high time
the responsibilities connected with the
observance of the day fell upon young
er people. The Times-Journal says
the Spanish war veterans and the Sons
of Veterans do not typify the patriot
ism of the civil war period. and that
its commemoration should be entrust-
ed to those in charge of the public
schools, 1.-THE nurseries of the day in the
public schools is very well. so far as
it goes, but the Times-Journal urges
that the school children, at an early
day, should be given an active part In
the public exercises of Memorial day.
The day is becoming more and more
national day. The old soldiers
themselves have taken the lead. north
and south, in putting away the bitter
! ness of the old time and in marshall
ing under the one flag, everywhere
IGNORED, the boys in gray and the boys
in blue Memorial day stands for one
country and one flag, and for common
i sacrifice; and it's office is no more to
draw men apart, but 1t is a day set
apart to draw men together in pa
triotic devotion. The schools should
teach love of country, and the CHI
dren should be given object lessons
from heroic lives to the end that they
may be imbued with noble patriotism

ARE SALARIES TOO LOW?

Joseph E. Vance, superintendent of
the schools for the blind at Vinton, has
sent his RES gnat ton to the board of
control He is going to Oregon, where
si,, has accepted fine position and
will live on a ranch. His services at
Vinton have been appreciated and in
every way satisfactory, and Iowa loses
another good man. Perhaps if a more
LIBERAL salary We're paid at Vinton Mr..
Vance would have preferred Iowa even
to the most promising section of Ore
gon Perhaps If the terms there and
here had been the same he would have
preferred Iowa. The reason why so
many able men, who have the very
I highest opinion of Iowa, turn their
| backs upon the Hawl5eye state is that
salaries of all sorts are ridiculously
low here.-Burlngton HawlSeye.
Some salaries in Iowa are too low.
Teachers salaries are too low in Iowa
and elsewhere. The college professor
! and the teacher of the grades in all the
schools is or ought TO be earning more
than he is paid in Iowa and outside Of
Iowa. In the particular case referred
to by the Hawkeye it may be consider
ed doubtful if higher wages paid in
, work at Vinton He goes to a ranch,
not, to the employ Of any other state as
teacher and guardian of the blind.
And in Mrs-vances case as in the case
of the others Chere is the satisfaction
of creative work, the making of men
and women, the fact and feeling that
they have their arms to the elbows in
10 the most enduring and Of the great
est work In the world to be counted as
perquisite and added to their salaries
Some may sheer at this view but p
one of the faithful and conscientious
ar,ong the. class ITO whom it applies
Thousands are accepting smaller SAL
aries in order TO remain at the work
that lives and is not ephemeral, If any
work is ephenderal
The satisfaction Of the work, while
dt is not part Of the salary is the secret
Of great work. The salary limit is in.
cidental to the workers who do grea
things or hope to do them.
Outside Of the classes mentioned
salaries are fair generally speaking
State and county and federal employs
are getting more for their service
than they could as a general thin,
earn any other way. The postmaster
in the cities are being paid twice tn
salary they could command on tn
market or IN short, about twice as niue
as 1t would cost to hire as capable
man If business methods prevailed an
the law ofsupply and demand were sri
