sent to them the attorney general says
that unless his request is complied
with he will take action to have the

be avoided by members of the COM

Figures published by the federal bu-

Figures published by the federal bu-
reau of education give evidence that
the rewards of genius engaged in the
educational field are considerably be-
low those attainable in other of the
learned professions and in many indus
trial avocations- The highest paid
head of a state-afded institution of
learning is the president of the Unfver-
sity of California, who receives $12.-
900 year and house The president
of Cornell university and the Uni
versity of Illinois, each receive &c..
600 year and house, and the presi-
dent of the University of Minnesota.
$4,000 a year without house. Other
presidents Salaries run down as low
as $2.400. The best paid full professor
enjoys an income of $4,000 a year,
and the least paid tutor struggles along
on an allowance of $50. When 1t Is
considered that there are lawyers In
the country earning from $4,000 to
100000 a year, that some medical
men command almost as large earn
fngs, and that many engineers. presi-
dents of manufacturing concerns and
others engaged in Industrial pursuits
are equally well rewarded, one may
well marvel that SO many men of su-
perlative intelligence devote their
lives to pedagogy.

NNV OMANHOOD as a power for good in the nation and
WY home will find a wide range of opportunity in the
program of the General Federation of Womenis-Clubs,
beginning at st. Francisco today and continuing until July g.
Pure food, household economics, civil service reform, better
dress standards, national care of public health, hygiene in the
school and vocational interests are among the many topics for
the 1000 delegates. A proposition that the federation divide
itself into two houses ON the plan of Congress is an excellent
idea. Interest in the deliberations of these earnest women will
be countrywide. With or without votes, the influence of the
wives and mothers of America@for the uplift of humanity is the
hone of the republic.

MERCENARLES IN LABOR TROUBLES.

I'D yesterday threw a stone guards hired by millowners and
q vested with the4power of deputies fred a volley. Among
the several persons shot were a woman with a baby In her arms
and a boy. The use of armed mercenaries in labor troubles is
all wrong. They are too often irresponsible men, furnished by
private detective agencies and recruited from the underworld.
They are reckless with firearms at the least show Of resistance.
There is nothing so brutal as cowardioe. The proper protective
force against riot in places outside of city police jurisdiction is
5 permanent State constabulary, composed of sober, fearless
and prudent men who have no other occupation and who are
responsible to the State and not to private interests.

TRUST PROFITS IN ALUMINIUM.

IN LUMINUM is the ideal metal for cooking utensils and is
EN now largely used in many ways. Extracted from clay,
it has become one of the most valuable of our materials.
But its production and sale are controlled by a trust which
maintains an extortfonste price. And the trust pays dividends
of 500 per cent. a year. A federal suit to dissolve the trust has
been begun. Capitalized at $4,000 in 1888 the assets of this
concern are now estimated at $~27y000yOo0 and it declared a stock
dividend of 100000 three years ago. But the suit is a
friendly one. The trust has agreed to dissolve and the suit is a
formality. The trust will change it's form of organization and go
right on like the Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts, with the
benson of government, playing the same game on the public and
paying the same fat dividends.

Governor wilson's Appointments.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
With the exception of Colonel Ste
vens, 1 only recall n appointment
for Hudson or Essex counties from
| the capable and conscientious middle
class of citizens. All the other APP
pointments have beer from the
wheeler class; yet Jersey State Is
famous throughout the country and
the world for the exceptionally high
percentage of talented citizens who
like to live in proximity to New
York. Governor Wilson could have
stated his administration with the
ablest men in the nation. He has.
however, taken men for the very
highest positions, for which they were
not fitted, either In experience, APP
pearance or public spirit. Should we
then be surprised that his admins
tration has been n of nothing but
talk? He has not fought one trust
in this State of trusts, ameliorated
the public distress Or lowered taxes.
In the new republic of China a
ward tough named Kan gathered a
lot of ward loafers into a regiment
and fought we'll for the republic. for
which service Kan and his men were
fully paid. When the State wished
to disband the regiment recently
Kan demanded that he be made
secretary OF of the provinces.
why, you are only a tough and moi
fitted for such a high place; You
have been paid for your services.
both in money and In public thanks
and honors." Kan replied to the
Governor: Don't I bring in a thou
sand votes7 You have got to make
me secretary of state or I'll use my
men against your administration"
Kan was beheaded for treason. In
Jersey State, under Governor Will
sons plan Of catering only to votes.
and not to the middle class who pay
the axes and have the maximum OF
intelligence, the wardheeler gets the
high position, instead of the political
beheading.
It IL true that every citizen, talented
or ignorant, should have thes suffrage.
but 1t is not safe to entrust high Of
fee in a republic to u~ntaiented citi-
gems. The middle class should arise
and demand the offices for which they
are educated and for which they have
the high, incorruptfb1e character, pub
lie spirit and right because they pay
the axes. Let us puncture this Will
son bluff and bubble; he is a college
professor, a dreamer and not a doer;
a man of inferior power when 1t
comes to initiative and leadership.
He has put the great State into the

Coal Price to Drop with Rates?
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
/ see by The Star tina the Com
merce Commission mas found hat the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
railroad has been charging too high
rates for carrying coal. Now, the
point Is. are they going to compel
the dealers to lower their prices for
the people to get cheaper coal, or is
1t intended that the dealers should
get the benefit Of all these months of
injury?
II so the commission would better
have never been called, as 1t would
have saved the country a great deal
of expense and trouble and the rail-
road companies would have more
money to pay their employees with.
I am anxiously waiting to see the
price of coal lowered. J. A.
