SOME OF THE LESSONS.
IDss Moines Capital


The people OF the United States will
both suffer and learn by the war. They
will suffer a considerable demora!iza-
ton in business and learn once again
that war is just what General Sher-
are important.
Who can say that our people nave
not stood in need of some practical
lessons in their habits and their lives!
Who can say that ii vas not necessary
and Is not necessary to call halt on
some of the things we have been do
ingo We have been flying high and
complaining because we could not fly
higher. a majority of the people nave
been disconnected in the midst Ct

the seats to get to the front regard

led upon. The struggle has been to
wear silks and satins. on the SUPPOSE
ton that happy hearts could not beat
under cheaper goods. we nave thirst-
ed for hot and cold water in every
room, with gas and electric ights from
cellar to garnet, including the porch.

the college, and the high school all

friend of mankind had voice loud
enough to reach the public ear for the
purpose of calling a halt.
We have not been satisfied with a
bicycle and an automobile. we have

going on, and he knows also that we

Now there must be halt. 1t is a
bloodless halt. The lesson will be val

Every man knew there had to be a
grain of common sense introduced into
the practical affairs of life, and he

he did not know how and by what

the lives of all classes Of Americans

What MIGHT Have Been.

At recent social affair reference was
made to anticipation. when Congress-
man Charles B. Smith. OF New York,
recalled the regret of little Willie.
Some time ago Willie spent the day in
the county, and on returning home ana
taking his place at the table he say
that the ice cream was to be served for
dinner.
ice cream for dinners" he joyously
shouted. and then came regretful sigh.
"Oh, mamma" he said, why didn't you
tell me that we were going to have it
before I left this morning"
II don't know, dear" responded
mamma. What difference would it
have made?"
"A whole lott" expressively answered
Willie, II could have been expecting it
all day."-Philadelphi Telegraph.

UNEQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK

Wide variation in the pay for the
same or similar work is one of the most
STRIKING situations revealed by the in
Yestigation Of teachers salaries iusf
completed by the United States bu-
leau OF education, under the direction
OF j. c. I5oyHin, editor, .os the bureau.
Public elementary school teachers NAV
receive $1,000 year, as some do in
Ne" YORK City, or s45 year. as in
certain rural communities. Even in
cities OF the same class there are con-
siderable differences in the salaries
paid teachers. On the adm inistrative
side there are county superintendent
with pay ranging from SIG to $4,000
per annum, and college presidents re-
ceiving salaries all the way from $500
to 1890.
In city school systems salaries have
increased steadily in recent years. par
ticularly in the western states: and, in
general. salaries in city school systems
are fairly well standardized The ay-
erage salary of the superintendent Of
schools in cities Of over $50, 900 in pop
ulation is SITS; the range is from
$4,000 to $4,000. In the same group of
cities high school principals, average
1855 and elementary teachers 5s1.O1s.
Even in the smallest cities listed, those
between 5000 and 10000 population,
salaries are fairly uniform. The maxi
mum for superintendent in this group
is $4,000 and the average s1,s15; but
elementary teachers show an annual
average of $3.50, with salaries as high
as $3.50 and as low as 1904. It is in
the colleges and universities that the
widest variation prevails. The salaries
| of men with the rank Of professor
range from $3.50 to $500. "Profes-
sors'' In some institutions receive less
than INSTRUCTORS or even Assistants

The Great Republic.

LORD OF people once oppressed,
God of the men of Lexington;
Father of those who stood each test.
That freedoms battles might be won.
Out of the hearts which dare to die.
out OF the lands beyond the sea,
Out OF their gloom the shackled cry
For iiberty-for liberty.
Master of those who gained the fight,
Guide of the hosts at tSl Caney;
FRIEND OF the flag that waved for right
AT dawn upon Manila bay;
W hereVer souls are scourgcd as slaves.
Wherever kings are tyra7nous:
Wherever states approach their graves.
They look 10 us-they look to us!
God Of the Isra elites of old
Father OF him they crucided;
Giver Of mercies manifold.
Hope of nation balance tried:
Il we shall point the upward way.
we shall lead, as seems thy will:
Y we shall end the desp9t's sway.
Thy guidance still = thy guidance
still!

HOW MUCH PER ALLEVIATE?


At LeMars Charles Knudson has
sued Arthur Hamilton for $4,000 for
alienation of the wife's affections.
knudscn claims that Hamilton took
his (Knudsons) wife away from him
in 1912. and that he has had her trav-
cling thru Canada and the far western
states under Hamilton's control. Well,
the simple thing would be to get di-
vorce. If the woman prefers Hamilton.
why not let it go at that? Why scit
for only 10000? Surely Hamilton must
have more than that AS these cases
go, Knudson places a small value upon
the affections OF his wife. Perhaps. II
she had not run away with Hamilton
and had continued to live with her hus-
band, he would not value her affection
at 10 cents. If there is going to be
much of this sort Of legislation the
legislature or the supreme court ought
to establish some kind Of a scale and
make maximum price for the aHec-
tons of q wife. There would be some
thing 10 guide poor bewildered jury
that Is called upon to give verdict in
case of this kind.

War .nd Treatie.

The fact is that treaties are utterly
valueless In the face of the grim ex-
igencies OF war. There are two ways
for Germany to enter France. One ~
thru the bristling Notifications that
guard the Franco-German border; the
other is thru the hapless neutral
states. She has chosen the latter; and
in the face OF her relentless purpose a
treaty Is Just as much an obstacle as
would be blank afeet Of parchment.

He has investigated conditions at
the capitol at Jefferson City and has

RocKET1NG THE PANHANDLER

Asp.rants for elective office in Pot
tawat,amie county. democrat and re-
publican alike, now have the best OPP
portunity TO divorce themselves from
grating politics-and grating polsi-
cians-which has been offered them in
years. 1t is to De hoped they will avail
themselves of the occasion.
Responsibility for conditions as
they have existed in the past can not
rest wholly upon the candidates. Mucn
is due the men who have for years
made it practice to batten on the
anxiety of the candidate to succeed at
the polls. AS one man recently said
Of the situation, "A cotton-tail rabbit
is a ravening beast OF prey in com
par!son with the average candidate Tor
office where there is vote in the bal
ance."
His meaning, Of course, is that the
candidate is liable. in view of the pos
sibility o. making friend or an
enemy of the voter. to yield TO bland
ishments or covert threat, to give
up" come across" or see" the man
who approaches him in hope of secur-
ing money or other valuable consider
alton.
The custom of working" candidates
has been one of long and disgraceful
standing, particularly, so far as this
county is concerned. in Council BLUFFS,
where those who know declare that
not less than 700 men-some say near
er 1,000-have made it a practice TO
seek for their support. or for thelr
votes, in every election. There are
men in Council Bluffs whose families
stand well, who are. ten months In the
year not bad citizens, but who. dur
ing every campaign. go out more orless
openly for the money they
from candidates.
Every man who has ever run for
elective office in the county or city
in the past twenty years. knows this
to be true The sentiment as it was
expressed by one man during the re-
cent election fraud investigation, has
been, 1.-The moneys there; SO why not
get it,. II don't someone else will
And for years the candidates have
more or less tamely submitted to this
procedure, each one knowing that the
man who grated" him a moment ago
would be after his opponent the next
minute.
| The agitation following the discios-
ure of conditions in Council Bluffs last
! spring should determine every candi-
i date for office in this county never

mail-for that is what the practice
amounts to.
True, 1t is probable that there will
be candidates who will not take ad-
