Editorial Comment.
Norway's Fear.
lPittsburg Gazette Times.)

(Pittsburg Gazette Times)
Several months ago, before the pres
ent war was thought of, Harold Spen-
GER, the English publicist. took trip
to Norway and recorded his impress
sions of her peoples problems in the
Contemporary Review. He found the
Norwee ians oppressed by an increas-
ing anxiety concerning their national
security, Government officials were re-
ticent, but the people generally spoke
freely. He referred to the feeling as
the inevitable nervousness of little
people" Norway covers a compare
lively large area, but her population Is
only 2,500,000. The widespread feeling
of unrest was accentuated by SINH
lar feeling among her small neighbors,
Sweden, Holland and Denmark. 1t APP
peared to foreshadow an inevitable
conflict in which the smaller nations
would be entangled. On every side the
Norwegians perceived immense prepa-
rations for war. Every summer the
great German fleet visited their shores
and the sailors thronged their towns.
The Norwegians also witnessed the
building of Russias new navy. The
of the treaty of Norwegian integrity
signed by Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Russia besides the general
European treaty guaranteeing the
status quo of Northern Europe. but he
found a general skepticism as to the
binding force Of such agreements.
What is the use of treaties?" the
Norwegians would say. Excuse me,
remarked DR.. Nansen, IF l smile at
treaties" The writer said it was as If
the weaker members of society in a
community like London had ceased TO
rely on the police.
If the Norwegians were thus agitat-
ed months ago it is easy to imagine
what must be the state of national
feeling today. We have been regard
ing Norway as somewhat remote from
the scene of hostilities, but her anxiety
is apparently justified. In these days
of wholesale disregard for information
al obligations the plight of the little
peoples calls for sympathy.

Cloak Room Talk,

The surest barometer OF political SEN

talk in the National House of Repre-
sentatives. The House has two cloak
rooms" Democratic and Republican.

freely which could not be safely voic-
ed on the floor of the House. In these
rooms, Congressman gather and ex-
change political condolences Their ex-
pressions are free and uncolored by

Fighting Disease Germs

There is a popular idea that most
| sickness is caused by germ of the
disease finding entrance to our bodies
through the food we eat, the water
or milk we drink or the air we
breathe. This is true as far as 1t
goes but it is also true that disease
germs are entering cur bodies every
day without causing disease.
The reason for this is that there
are forces within the body that are
constantly fighting these disease
germs and it is only when this de-
fence is weakened that the germs set
the upper hand and we become i'll
One of the most powerful of these
forces that work for health is rich,
red blood. Good, healthy blood in
creases the resistance of the body to
the diseases that are always threat
ening. 1t is easier to keep up this
resistance by taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, eating proper food, avoid
ing articles of food that do not agree
with us and getting plenty of fresh
air day and night, than 1t Is to cure
disease after it gets a foothold. Keep
up the resistance of your body to dis
ease by these tonic pills, which you
can get at any drug store, and you
will avoid much sickness.

Democratic Reciprocity With Canada.

Canada has just increased by ten
per cent. the import duty on stone
manufactured to any extent through
saving, planning or dressing. This has
been done to shut out imports into
Canada from Indiana and Ohio. How
do you like this reciprocity Of the
Democracy? Canadian stone has for
the most part free entry into the
United States. General advances have
been made by the Canadian govern
ment in the tariffs on steel products
also within the past two or three
weeks. Canada, beholding the prosper

about by aear-free trade here, she be-

were awakened early in the morn

guns. The salute was repeated at
noon. Church dignitaries met

populace paraded with bands of
music while all the church bells

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 investigation of teachers salaries
just completed by the U. S. Bureau of
Education. Public elementary school
teachers may receive 50, 400 year as
some do in New York City, or $45
year, as in certain rural communities.
Even in cities of the. same class there
are considerable differences in the SAL
aries paid teachers. On the admins
itrative side there are county superin-
tendents with pay ranging from s115 to
$4,000 per annum, and college presi-
dents receiving salaries all the way
from 5000 to s12,400.
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 av-
erage salary of the superintendent of
schools in cities of over 100000 popu-
lation 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 s1.01S.
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 s1,915; but
elementary teachers show an annual
average Of 1888, with salaries as high
as 1880 and as low as $1O4 1t 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
in others. Salaries of deans of these
institutions vary from $500 to $4,000.
University teachers of subjects for
which there is direct commercial de-
mand outside receive somewhat higher
salaries than those in charge of the
traditional academic subjects, but the
difference is less than might be ex-
pected. The highest average salaries
for full professors are paid in law and
civil engineering. Law claims the
highest paid profesorship in any sub
ject, with one salary of $500; but
there are professors Of physics, geolo-
gy, and Latin who receive $1,000.
1t is significant that on the basis of
the figures reported most college
teaching. particularly in the first two
years, is done by men Of instructor
grade with salaries Of 1900 to $1,000
or by assistants who receive on the
average about $500, usually for half
time services.
Quite as noteworthy is the variation
In salaries for state superintendent of
public instruction. The salaries of the
chief school officers in the various
states range from $4,000 in New Jer-
sey and New York; $500 in Illinois
$500 in Massachusetts; and 5000 in
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, California,
Indiana, and Louisiana; down to $1,000
