JUSTICE TO TEACHERS
AND THE PUBLIC.

There is in this city a very general
movement just now toward readjust-
ment of pay for teachers, and in some
instances to increase it. Just what will
be the result would be difficult to fore
tell. But in justice to the teachers. their
compensation should be increased. Sure
" if that statement can be made touch
ing any other class of employment in
all this broad land, 1t can with double
emphasis be made as to the teachers.
Their pay should be increased.
Heaven knows the principals and SUI
pervisors in Salt Lakes public schools
are not paid any too well; and it is
equally known of heaven that the grade
teachers are underpaid. This need not
be construed as a complaint of theirs.
Teachers are proverbially and habitual-
ly patient, even when they have good
cause for complaint. 1t is not to be read
as a reflection on the management of
the board. 1t is simply a statement of
facts.
Grade teachers are the drudges of the
educational system. They must pre-
pare themselves, and that means an in
vestment which involves sacrifice Of
money, and Of more than money. They
must keep up to date in teaching
methods, and in the thousand details of
teaching work which may tend to sue
cessful results in the leading of their
pupils. They are "docked' whenever
illness-which need not surprise them
comes as a result of overwork. And
there are two and half months in
every year when they must hold them
selves under orders, and yet are not
paid a penny.
The first impressions of child are
the lasting impressions. What he learns
from the grade teacher stays with him
through life-and it is on that founda-
ton that his life and his education are
based.
The grade teacher ought to be paid
a much bigger salary. And the employ
ment should be for the entire year.
There should be no months of vacation
without pay. The rest and recuperation
are necessary. But the loss of salary
in that time can i'll be borne.
Whatever the reform in the pay of
teachers, these two things should be
remembered: They ought to have more
money, and they should be paid for
every month in the year. And when
that plan is adopted, there will be an
even better army of teachers here than
are found today. And in that bettered
service, the public will have done for
itself the greatest imaginable benefit

It has been sort OF play republic,

And yet the people of America have a
duty to perform there. Monrovia must
be taken care of b. the people of the
United States. That little country must
not be permitted to fall into the hands
Of any other nation.
Besides which, it will be good thing
for the United States. Africa is rapidly
coming to the 'front.'"

reported, though in condensed form, by
the Associated Press reporters, and by
special correspondents for many news
papers.
But do the people get benefit from the
government provisions for publicity
That is the question. Every possible
means has been adopted to tell the peo-
pie about that and every other measure
presented before House or Senate. Not
a citizen of the land but may have a
copy of the bill If he will ask his SEN
ator or his congressman for it. The
Record tells every word of it, and every
word that has been said In Congress,
either for or against it. And yet it is
doubtful if the people know.
That is the more likely. because the
people certainly are mistaken as to the
present tariff law. Probably a ma
jority of the people of the United States
have damned that law in the belief that
it revises the tariff upward And that is
not at all the truth. With every facil-
ity for getting perfectly reliable infor-
nation, they decline to be informed.
Publicity is demanded. But are the
people taking the benefit provided?

WHY Am ASSUMED NAME2

Why should Clifford Pinchot sail under
an assumed name?
Admitting that he didn't care to have
the world know that he was going to
Europe just at the time when Colonel
Roosevelt was coming to Europe, what
reason could have Induced him to so
hide himself as to assume a name that
does not belong to him? Why masque-
rade under an alias?
The man is free. No one can tell him
where to go. No one can tell him of
places that he must not visit. He has a
sister in Europe, and he has a perfect
right to visit her. He has money
enough to pay his fare and all expenses
There is no good reason for believing
that he would have been stopped, even
if he had travelled under his own name
And, Furthermore, it is not at all like
ly that the people were watching Mr.
Pinchot half so closely as he seems t.
have believed they were. He might
have taken passage in his own name
and made the voyage to Europe with
out disturbing trade or overturnine
governments.
To be frank about it, the people of the
world do not care greatly whether Mr.
Pinchot goes or stays. But the world
will read with transient-very tran
sient-interest the statement that he
was so doubtful about the wisdom OF
his journey that he booked his passage
under a name not his own.

THE RAILROAD BILL.

Senator Root has spoken parts of
three days on the railroad bill which
President Taft desires shall be enacted
into law. And in the course of his adj
dress, one startling thing has been re-
vealed. A majority of the senator's have
not read the bill.
1t has been before Congress for
months. II has been discussed in TWEEN
ty cities, at big assemblies of CONNER
cial and financial men. 1t has been at
tackled and defended in a multitude of
newspapers. And yet the senator's
themselves are not at all familiar with
its provisions.
Is it at all likely that congressman as
{. class are any better informed? Is 1t
likely the people know what the bill
provides? Yet that bill has been print
ed. 1t is in the Congressional Record.
The substance of 1t has been faithfully

Christ Cruclfied.

Bound upon tn accursed tree.
Faint and bleeding, who Is He?
by the eyes so pale and dim
Streaming blood and Writhing limb.
By the flesh, with scourges torn.
By the crown of twisted thorn,
BY the side so deeply pierced,
BY the baffled burning thirst:
BY the dropping, death-dew'd brow.
Son of Man! tbs Thou! It's Thou
Bound upon tn accursed tree,
Dread and awful, who is He?
BY the sun at MONDAY pale,
Shiyering rocks, and rending vale.
BY earth, that trembles at His doom.
By yonder saints, who burst their tomb,
By Eden, promised ere he died,
To the felon at His side.
Lord, our suppliant knees we bow;
Son of Man! It's Thou! it's Thoul
Bound upon tn accursed tree,
Sad and dying, who is He?
BY the last and bitter cry,
The ghost given up In agony.
By the lifeless body laid
In the chamber of the dead,
BY the mourners come to weep
Where the bones of Jesus sleep;
Crucifiedl we know Thee now;
Son Of Mani tbs Thoul It's Thou
Bound upon tn accursed tree,
Dread and awful, who is He?
BY the prayer for them that slew,
Lord, they know not what they doy'
BY the spoird and empty grave,
BY the souls He died TO save.
BY the conquest He hath won,
By the saints before His throne,
By the rainbow round His brow.

OH, GIVE 1T UP.

Once more the waves have played
havoc with the railroad on the Lucir
cutoff. And that will be so to the end
of the chapter.
Only by filing in all the lake TO the
north of the line can the roadway be
secured from damage by the waters
whenever storms arise. And storms are
going to arise as long as trains run, at
least.
The reasonable thing would be for the
Union Pacific people to adopt the more
direct route from east to west by leav-
ing the present main line at Echo or
Henefer, and come direct TO Salt Lake,
thence past the southern end OF the
lake, and on to the west. 1t was the
engineering mistake OF the century to
carry that road around the north end,
1t was a colossal blunder to leave Salt
Lake off the line of that road. And the
error can be erased only by abandoning
the line that experimentation unwisely
selected, and locating 1t where shortest
distance, easiest grades and most bust
ness are to be found.
The Lucin eut-off is a spectacular
thing: an excellent feature for adver-
Using purposes. But as a practical bit
of railroading, it is a mistake.

THAT PAPER HELPS UTAH.

Whatever is helpful to the state,
whatever points better way for the
people, whatever ,1creases their value
to themselves and their service to pos
terity-that IS to be encouraged. And
for the reason that we believe the Des-
eret Farmer is helpful to the state of
Utah now, and is building for a better
Utah in the years that are to come, we
make this word of commentator.
In the hands of Mr.. L. A Merrill, that
little paper has b. come an established
institution of the state. 1t is a regular
message directed to the man who make
living on the soil; the men who make
partnership with nature; the men who
reclaim the desert; the men who plant
fruit trees and dig wells; the men who
study to improve their stock. And its
regular visits have become so effective
that thousands of people in the noun
tain country depend upon it, They look
upon its statements as authoritative
as they are.
For the present. and for many years
to come. land will be the biggest element
in the Utah problem. How to get the
best results from the soil; how to Sc
cure the best grain and the best ami
mails, and the best human beings-these
are the factors in the one predominant
problem. And the man who helpa in
solving whatever problems that may
involve. is a benefactor to Utah, a
friend of the race.
1t is the belief of The Herald Repub-
lican that Mr.. Merrill. with the Deseret
Farmer, is helping nightly in that
service.

FRIENDS WITH CANADA.

Every good American citizen will re-
joice that there is to be no trade war
with Canada. 1t is to be regretted that
the attitude of our people has been I'M
friendly toward Canadians. And our
northern neighbors, not quick to take
Offense, have yet felt the constant press
ure of antipathy, until they have &C
quired a settled GOODNESS toward our
people.
The President does them the tardy
justice of assuring peace relations in in
ternational trade. The tariff is made
less offensive at the border. And the
effect of that action on the part of the
American government will go far to re-
store friendship with the Canadians.
