SHEEP AND DOG Law.
Huntington Hawkeye.l


The Iowa sheep men want new
law. They want the legislature to give
them relief by preventing dogs from
running at large by night. No doubt.
the legislature will grant the wish OF
the sheep men. If they wish 1t. the
law makers will pass half dozen
similar bills. All of which are not go
ing TO mend matters. No doubt. much
of the damage laid to wolves is really
due to dogs. No doubt, the average
dog will kill sheep. 1t is his nature.
and he can not help it. But 1t Will
finally resolve itself into the one ques-
ton, whether the dog is Of greater
value than the sheep. If he is then
the sheep men will have to move to
some country where their property and
their rights are respected and pro-
tected. Or they will have to go out
OF the business. For the laws that are
put on the statute books are not COINS
to prove Of the slightest use to the
sheep men. These men have an or.
ganization, and II that can not hell
them, and il the laws and the author.
tiles can not help them. what do o,
can they expect of new laws?

"a CHANCE FOR HIS WHITE ALLEY

Any time anybody tries to tell you
that Waterloo is entirely absorbed in
things commercial do not let them get
away with it.
Yesterday a young Belgian left Wa
career When Waterloo found him he
was a stranger and a foreigner lying
beside railroad track with bleeding
stumps where his legs had been. He
mao not cent about mis- person OF d
single acquaintance in this vicinity.
He was unable to improve his con-
dition thru his own efforts; his in
juries had made him helpless. We
found him fourteen weeks ago. To-
day his limbs have healed. He is in
Minneapolis being fitted to artificial
limbs paid for by donations OF Water
loo money and few contributions
from surrounding towns. After his
limbs are paid for he will have ball
ance of nearly SITS including what he
has already spent for clothing and
small necessities. This will keep him
q. !ees. while he ie receiving COM
mercial education which has been
kindly offered him free Of charge by a
! " aterioo instirution.-Waterlo Times
Tribune.
It was a good job. Grant that Wa
terloo is not entirely absorbed in things
commercial. No community Is entirely
80 absorbed. There are good and
lcharitab1y inclined persons every
where. Waterloo IL no exception. Credit

IOWA SCHOOL suPrs. SALARIES.

An article in the current NUMBER OF
Midland Schools deals with the s'tIaf-
les of Iowa school superintendent aAl
the advances made in such salaries,
These salaries OF 696 Iowa superinteA-
dents range between $31o and $i,5oo- \
general rise in salary over last year is
shown thru the medal annual salary
of superintendents in 2S4 Iowa towns
is s716.l3 or approximately that OF a
good ianitor. However last years re-
nort gave the medal salary Of su-
perintendents in 275 Iowa towns as
$685..
In 1879. according to the reports
there were three superintendent re-
ceiving salary of from $500 TO s5ov.
ONT of The total of lS6 cases, the aver
age salary paid was sSlS.90, the med
ian salary s692.59, with a MODE Oh
$500. the range being from 5000 to ST.
500. In 1919 there was an increase IN
the average, median and range OF SAL
aries paid. In 1912 there was another
increase in average, median, mode and
range In 1915 the same cities showed
an additional increase. The static
ian concludes: In view OF the
we'll recognized increase in the cost OF
living. it is interesting to note that the
salaries of the superintendents of Iowa
hay. been steadily increasing within
recent wears. This is especially true in
regard TO the higher prizes in profes-
sion. All in all the salaries paid to
the Iowa school superintendent TINS
wear compare favorably with the sal
aries paid outside of the state and
show a slight increase over salaries
paid heretofore within the state
Despite the increase and the OPIUM
ism OF the school man who offers the
figures the reason why SO few young
men of talent and ambition enter
school work seems plain enough. The
reward of highest merit in Iowa stops
at $500 a year. 1t begins at 1910. OF
2s4 chances it avera ges ST13. The
chances are better in other professions
in trade, farming and there is more
money and more independence else
where.
The salaries of teachers are motor
iously low. Some gratifying increase
there has been of late but it has main
iy been forced by the rise of living cost
and larger requirements laid upon
teachers The superintendent seem
to be in the same boat with their as
sistants. The preparation, labor and
responsibility are vastly greater thar
the rewards, unless we are to accept
virtue as it's own reward and figure il
into the balance sheet.
In short one Of our most important
professions is the worst paid.

Waterloo with one Belgian Cited with
artificial legs. one business course and
SITS in money. Include general ap-
probation and proper praise for Wa
terloo due and paid by the public.
But Belgians are not the only ones
who lose legs. Without in anywise de-
tracing from the fine charity that
cared for the Belgian it is legitimate
inquiry to ask how much would have
been done for the ordinary American
youth had he been found stranger
with bleeding stumps at Waterloo or
any other city like Waterloo? Would
the appeal of friendlessness and suf-
fering touched hearts and pocketbooks
to the same exent? How far respon-
sible for the liberality and interest
shown towards the Belgian is the fact
that he is Belgian and refugee
from nation whose woes have been
blazoned and in whose interests press
bureaus and every other method of APP
peal has been and is being used?
1t is fine thing to give the Belgian
boy a chance. No doubt he will prove
deserving But it is worth while to give
every youth a chance whether he is OF
a nationality in the limelight OF calam-
itv or an individual the victim of lack
of opportunity and of accident. 1t
would be interesting to have census
of injured youths supplied with arti-
fetal limbs and commercial educa-
lions if such thing were possible.
1t would assist in analyZing and classI-
fying liberality and charity.
After all isn't every youth entitled
to a similar chance to that given the
Belgian by Waterloos expression o.
common brotherhood? CharltablE
spea king isn't it the right thing? Isn't
it the cheapest economically 10 set
man on legs, furnish him equipment to
make his own living whether he be an
Importation from a devastated land OK
born in our own country and neigheor-
hood Isn't it all summed mp in the
slang phrase giving the man

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.


Two events Of the past week have
given pronounced emphasis to the
growing conviction that the cause OF
temperance is moving forward with a
far more majestic tread than many Of
it's most ardent advocates had seemed
to realize.
The majority vote in tho national
house of Representatives in favor OF
the Hobson constitutional amendment
resolution for national prohibition was
one event.
The other was the passing into the
hands of a receiver Of that ST., 900
brewing concern.
That congressional vote was q
triumph in its way. 1t is true that the
two thirds vote was not given as re-
quired by the constitution, but even q
majority vote could not have been Sc
cured ten years ago.
The Capital has often had occasion
to admonish its temperance and pro-
hibition friends that they should not
become impatient at temporary defeats.
No great cause was ever won In an
easy campaign. The conviction that q
cause Is right and righteous should
hearten Its defenders and strengthen
their faith.
"Since right is right, and God is God,
Then right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be SIM
The management Of the defunct
brewing concern very frankly tell the
secret of their troubles, They admit a
growing temperance sentiment, a cor
responding decrease in the demand for
their product and the constant agita-
tion for more restrictive and prohibi-
tive legislation.
In these different ways the great
problem being solved.
Society is having less and less use
for the boozer all the while. No busi-
ness firm will have a boozer in its
employ. The Industrial demand is for
clear heads. and steady nerves, and
clean lives.
These are among the signs OF the
times which stand out clear and bright
against the sky of the fast passing
wear

Ru..i.'s Delight in Sob riety.

Russia has been sober for the brief
period of the war. and her criminal
statistics 1already show the wisdom of
the cars action in banishing vodka
from the land. In thirty-three pre-
cincts Of Moscow for the first half-year
of 1914 there was an average of $50
criminal cases month. while for the
first sober month there were only
400. Crime was thus reduced 54.7 per
CEN, says tn Russkiya Nyedomosti
(Moscow). and the decreas, was almost
as great in Moscow county. In four
districts for the first half-year of 1914
there was an average of $50 cases
month"; whit. for the sober month
only a5. This is particularly signi-
| ficant." it Is observed. since the pro.
hibition Of the sale of alcoholic drinks
in the country districts Is not as effec-
tive as in the capital IN view OF the
secret traffic in liquor" Tho vodka has
been one OF Russias worst scourges,
the profits from its sale constituted
large item in the empires budget,
/ liquor being a government monopoly.
We gave some amount recently of
Russia's action In connection with that
of others of the warning nations In
respect to the sale and drinking of al
conol. OF the results already observ-
able, Mr.. NJ Menshikov speaks in the
Novoye Vrcmya (Petrograd):
The experiment Of the last few weeks
has shown that II the treasury loses
something because OF the ceasing of
drunkenness, the people gain enormous
and priceless advantages. !. From all
sides come kilograms and letters de-
scribing the wonderful transformation
OF the life of the people. the extreme
decrease of crime. Detention houses
and jails, police courts and offices of
examining magistrates are empty.
Hooliganism in some localities disap-
peared entirely, street begging has been
considerably reduced. Cities and viii
lagos have assumed a quiet appearance.
|. Temperance has infused modesty
and serious dignity into the conduct OF
the people. II we are now more or less
certain Of the outcome of the war. we

prevailed had the liquor shops been

churian war the reservists were called
to the colors; their march was accom-
panied by the destruction of villages.
| railroad stations. and even towns, and
it was necessary to subdue the rioters

Whatever may be the end Of the
present war with the Germans, we must
be eternally grateful to it for the first
extensive experiment in public temper
ance. 1t is true that the governments
fight against drunkenness was decided
