ARGUES FOR HIGHER PAY
FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS
DR.. CIaxton Believes Better
Salaries Will Insure Better
Equipped instructors.

Higher paid and more thoroughly
equipped teachers are urged for the pub
lie schools Of the country by DR.. P. p.
education, in his annual review Of edL-
cational conditions, soon to be distrib-
uted by the bureau of education.
The report, which deals with a period
covering the first ten years of the pres
ent century. shows that. though the av-
erage monthly salary Of male teachers
increased 80 per cent and the salary OF
female teachers q per cent. the average
annual pay Of teachers. including those
in the big cities and high schools. is less
than $500.
Averages in Salaries.
I'm some states" DIR. Claxton says
1.-The wage Of teachers falls far below
the countrywide average. In clever
states the average annual salary for
teachers is less than $500; in eight it is
less than $500; in two less than $3.50. For
salaries like this it is clearly impossi-
BILE to hire the services of men and
women of good native ability and suffi-
cient scholarship. training and expert
ence to enable them to do satisfactory
work Moreover, a very large per cent
of the teachers are men and women
less than twenty-one years old. In the
country at large less than one-half had
adequate preparation for their work. In
some states less than % per cent have
had the full preparation given by nor
NAL schools, and in most Of the states
less than 10 per cent of the teachers in
the county schools have had such prep
aration."

CHOSE THE BULLET ROUTE

A Tonopah dispatch of the 18th
to the Carson News says:
At ten o'clock this morning
Judge Avril prnounced sentence
of death upon Andrija Mirkovich
for the murder of John Gregovich.
The death penalty is to be intlict-
ed on Friday the twenty-third day
of August. .. ....:.
Prior to passing sentence, Judge
Averill asked the prisoner through
the interpreter, which manner of
death he desired either hanging
or shooting, as the law gave the
condemned man the choice. The
condemned man sat with his arms
folded while he was being ques-
toned and without hesitation
chose shooting as the m amer of his
being sent into eternity.
He showed considerable, nervous
ness. however, when the sentence
was being pronounced. He was
ordered to stand up while the
wordswere being pronounced which
gave the order for taking his life.
He obeyed the order but kept his
eyes riveted upon the floor during
the entire time.
The dastardly murder commit
ted by Mirkovich took place on the
evening of the fourteenth of May
and he was found guilty of the
crime on the thirteenth of Juhe, a
day less than a msnth. He will
be landed at the State Prison on
Monday evening by Sheriff Malley.
This is the first sentence to death
under the new law and the con
demned man awaited himself Of the
new section on wherein the prisoner
had the right to choose his man.
ner OF death.
1t is not thought that any
further steps will be taken to save
the life of the condemned man as
he had fair trial and was found
guilty upon the mass of evidence
produced showing that the crime
was one totally without provoca-
ton. The man murdered was one
of the prominent citizens of this
city, who held the respect and es-
TEEN of the populace and the
verdict has met with popular ap
proval.

JUST GIRLS

One can admire a girl at the
same time for her modesty and
her cheek.
No girl is more than so per cent
as pretty as she thinks she is.
The alarm 4 girl feels when
kissed is generally a still alarm.
Warm love will melc some girls:
it takes cold hash to melt others.
A pretty girl is not so sure that
we ought not to judge by appear
ances.
1t is easier for a girl to be vain
without being pretty than to be
pretty without being vain. H.

A HINT FROM THE BENCH

A New York lawyer not long
ago encountered a tartar in the
shape Of an Irascible witness who
resented in no uncertain way the
manner in which he was being
cross examined by the lawyer.
= Finally when counsel put TO the
witness certain questions that
seemed to the latter to reflect upon
his personal character the irritated
man on the stand burst forth with /:
IF you ask me that again III
give you thump on the nose"
Immediately counsel appealed to
the court, pointing out that an
answer was necessary to the
proper conduct of the cross ex-
animation and concluding with
the inquiry:
What would your honor advise
me 90 do?"
IF you are determined to put
that question:" said the Judge,
Il should advise you to move a
little from the witness" -Green

CURE FOR A COLO

The Indians was not especially
hardy in battle, except when he
fought the pneumococcus, says the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch. The very
fury of bis attack so far discomfit-
ed that terrible germ as TO leave
the red man in possession Of the
field very soon after the battle
opened. Major Cicero Newell, who
was for many years an Indian agent
among the Brule Sioux, tells in
his "reminiscences how the Indians
conducted themselves in action.
He says:
eff an Indian caught bad cold
his friends went with him to the
bank Of a stream, where they put
up little tepee large enough for
one person to crawl into. Then
they built big fire and put stones
IN the fire. When these were hot
the friends put them in the tepee
with the sick man and poured
wafer on them. In this way they
soon filed tn tepee with steam.
They continued to do this until
the sick man was warm and per-
spired freely. Then they took him
to the creek and threw him into
the cold water. After that they
cha sed him with a whip up and
down the bank of the stream until
he perspired freely again. Then
they wrapped him in a buffalo robe
and allowed him to sleep. This
always broke up the worst cold"
The trouble with us is our disposi
ton to permit the pneumoccus to
put us on the defensive. The
Indian rushed him at the'tap of the
bell.

WHY | AM A DEMOCRAT

give ten reasons on WAY ! am a
Democrat" and the following is
what he gave:
l. Because Democrats sincerely
believe in popular sovereignty.
They do this without equivocation
or mental reservation. They
always are willing to prove their
faith in the rule of the people.
They know that, under proper
safeguards, it is wise and
effective.
2 Because Democrats would
restrict government to its legiti-
mate purposes, knowing that every
departure therefrom leads usually
to favoritism and corruption as in
the cases of tariff and subsidies.
Socialism and other experiments.
3 Because Democrats are
naturally distrustful of emperors,
kings and other Iovereigns, of
bosses and Of unnecessary men
Where one such despot has been
wise and benevolent, thousands
have been foolish, cruel and un-
just. No man is ever to he
trusted with unlimited power.
q. Because Democrats hold more
closely than anybody else to the
principle of equal rights and
opportunities under our laws, thus
denying the wisdom of and the
necessity for the partiality anr
privileges which underlie artiStoc-
racies and other privileged classes.
5. Because Democrats contend
that too much government is not
only wasteful but tyrannous. This
means that there may he 2
despotism of silly. and vexation.
laws affecting habits and customs,
as well as a despotism of thrones
and sc:'pters. The Democratic
proverb is that that government is
best whi,h governs least.
6. Because in governments Demo-
Gratis always apply the theory of
lndlvldualism and individual
responsibility, whereas their
opponents generally advocate
Socialism or some other form of
paternalism based upon the idea
that government is wiser and
better than the people. Govern
ment, of course is nothing but
men "a few men.
7 Because Democrats in their
defense of the dignity of the state,
or the people. have shown their
belief in the dispersion and not
the concentration of power. They
resist Capitalization at Washing
ton: They hold that freedom and
independence cannot be lost while
the states endure as democracies.
8. Because the Democratic idea
of taxation is that it has no con-
stitutional warrant, except as it is
res rted to for public purposes; of
mere extravaganza is unju.t and
corrupting
9. Because Democrats regard
our constitutions, national and
state, with their accompanying
bills Of rights,as a! solutely binding
upon every citizen high or low,
never to be likely set aside and
never under any plea Of necessity
to be violated by courts con-
crosses, legislatures or executives.
10. Because while Democrat
sustain the judiciary in the
exercie of all lawful authority,
they have always regarded most
jealousy the disposition of courts
to extend their power. In the
nature of things oppression grows
and 10 where is this more likely to
be the case than upon the bench.

double length cars are required
to convey it through the country
and nearly 1000 men women and
horses participate in the per
formances. In every city where
this sumptuous show has been
seen this year, the press and it's

and from it the show derives It's
name. Miller Brothers who are,
