speeches are out of order, the
candidates of both parties are
busy enough meeting the voters
the presenting their claims.
John P Wootton, Democratic
candidate for Sheriff has been

a lot Of friends and votes by COM

We Judge from the reading OF
the semi-brilliant editorial rot in
the New Mexico dailies and also
the big and expensive page ads
in them and the Ell Paso .dailies,
that Presidnt Wilson is an mex
cusable partisan for wanting a
Democratic Congress and saying
so with frankness and backing it
by the bestof reasons.
1t would seem that the Demo-
cratic party. after having made q
record for modern administration
Of affairs of the U.S.such as was
never before accomplished Or ey-
en- attempted, and having conduc-
ted our end of a World War in 9
manner never before dreamed OF,
should now withdraw and apolo-
gize to the COP forhaving ven
tured to take the steering wheel
from them and driving the car
of State as it should be driven
for a time And especially we
should send Fall and other
reactioneries to prevent Wilson
from doing much for world peace
after the war.
But them this keeps republican
politician, who cant make an
honest living, from rusting out
and they seem to enjoy it while
it is really a harmless pastlme.

Bo]sheujsrn Based Only
On Hatred of Bourgeois
From the Dallas, Tex, News.


The dominating idea of the boshevists has been that they could
convert the war of nationalities into one of classes. 1t has. been the
guide of their diplomacy from the beginning. They imagined that
they could unite the proetariat of all nations against the "captaistc
classes Of all nations. They consigned to the "captalistic classes"
every one against whom the charge of solvency could be proved. This
was one of their worst blunders. For undoubtedly the worlds bank
-upts are in a minority, so that the bosheviss committed the great
political error of inscribing their manner in a way which was bound
10 recruit the enemy more than it could themselves. Trotzky and
Lenine believed that the world was easily to be set on fire, with their
Gcendiary ideas and inflammatory rhetoric. Now they find that the
world was less combustible than they had imagined. There is enough
contrariety in the reports to leave one in doubt whether the bolshevsts
have notified the Germans of their readiness to accept the rejected
peace terms or not. But the question is probably Of no consequence.
Having failed to cause a social conflagration in Germany and Austria,
they are helpless before the governments which they intended should
be devoured.
For Trotzky and Ienine the world wide project has suddenly
contracted to the area of Russia, and only s much of that as they
pretend to have under authority. Instead Of being concerned to spread
6olshevism throughout the earth, they find themselves confronted by
the danger of its collapse in Russia. If now they are ready to make
peace with Germany on almost any terms that Germany may offer, it
is because they have come to think that only peace, if anything, can
save bolshevsm at home. One may doubt whether even that is now
possible. Having swung from Nicholas to Trotzky, the pendulum
seems to have reached the end Of the arc that is the starting point of
reaction; a reaction which need not, and pretty certainly will not,
swing back to absolutism, but which is likely to outlaw bolshevism.

TWO GIRLS OPERATING
ALASKAN STAMP MILL

Juneau, Alaska, (by mail)-At Pearl
Harbor. 40 miles from here, two young
women, just out of their teens, have
for the past four years operated a pay
Ing mine. Their sole assistant has been
their mother. They operate a two
stamp mill and their present ambition
is to install a five-stamp equipment.
These girls are the daughters OF the
late John G. Peterson, a pioneer who,
with Mrs. Peterson. acquired an inter-
est in some mining properties rs years
6 in the Pearl Aarpor district. The
girls ame are Irene and Margaret.
Both were born In Juneau.
There is nothing in a mining line
that h two young women are not
capable of doing. from sharpening a
steel to slloeing a mule. These things
are every day affairs with them-a part
Of the days work. The built the neat
four cottage in which they live,
getting the timber out of the forest
themselves.
An inspection of their library shows
works OF geology, minerology. petrology,
mining and milling, and mine manage
ment by the best authorities. A num-
Der Of standard magazines come to
them. The girls occasionally take trips.

During the past few months there
have been many complaints from diff
ferent parts of the country because Of
the impossibility to secure teachers to
satisfy the demand. There is no doubt
whatever that there are many people
prepared to teach who are not teach
Ing simply because he teaching pro-
fession is not sufficiently attractive
from a financial standpoint.
The war is being blamed for the
shortage of teachers. The war has
been the cause of industrial re%-adjust-
ments opening many new fields Of oc-
equations to young women who planned
to teach. No one can blame these
young women for taking the places that
are more remunerative. The question is
simply whether the people of the state
Of Iowa n the United States consider
their schools of sufficient Importance
to offer salaries attractive enough to
compete with other occupations.
A class Of Junior and senior students
In Drake university made an estimate
of the cost of school attendance and
found that the actual cost plus the
loss of wages while attending will aver
age for girls about $700 per year and
for men about 5000. For four years it
costs a girl $4,000 and a boy about
$4,000 to attend school. The same
group of students using the high school
directory issued by the Midland schools
6lV1llS lHe Salaries LOT the year l9ll-1S,
reported by superintendent of city and
town schools since the opening Of the
school year, found by going through
one-fifth of the directory taking the
towns in order, that the average salary
of 49s women is SCOOPS. OF this num-
Der. 3O3 are receiving less than the
average while 35 are receiving $40,
or less, per year. If this ratio holds
for all of the schools reported, there
are 2,490 women in the high schools of
Iowa teaching for the average, 1915
of these receiving less than the aver
age. and IT'S Of the entire numbe re-
ceiving $40, or less, per year.
We have made some inquiry as to the
cost of living in the towns and smaller
cities of Iowa n find that the aver
age for room and board is at least $50
per month. Eight dollars additional per
month is not too much for laundry and
incidentals. The teachers actual nee
essary expense then, aside from cloth
Ing and travelling expenses is $270 for
board and room, $72 for incidentals, and
S16S interest on the investment making
a total Of $50. which s%ubtracted from

TEACHERS SALARIE AND
OF TEACHERS


StV oihJs
the average salary leaves $1,000 Dor
year to pay for clothing, travelling ex-'
penses, additional schooling, living ex-
penses for three months, and payment
on the original capital invested.
For those teaching below the high
school, a mi of two years normal
or college training is required. The
average salary for these teachers is
probably not to exceed $685. per year.
Allowing the same living expenses and
$S4 for interest, the total annua ex-
pense is $426, which being subtracted
from $685. leave the teacher S159 to be
used as indicated for the high school
teacher.
With men, the situation is even more
serious. The average salary for men
IN the schools examined is less than
$500 per year Any one knows that a
real man cannot take a four years
course in college and justify himself
$500 per year. On the morning Of
Washington's birthday, a teacher vas
met on the streets Of Des Moines and
offered IS per day for unskilled labor.
He was told that he could go to work
at once, that he needed no previous
mental activity. This offer meant
$1,000 for the school year with no pre-
paration. AT the same time we had on
our desk three calls for men teachers at
$I2O, $l65 and $50, respectively, and
only good men We're wanted.
The people Of Iowa are proud of their
increasing excellence in school build
ing and equipment. People are more in
terested in their children than in all of
their other possessions and when they
stop to think seriously of the matter,
they will appreciate the fact that in
the entire educational work the most
important factor is the teacher, and
that excellence of schools cannot be had
unless teachers are paid enough to at
tract the best men and best women in
the state. Teachers salaries should be
increased to the point where no teacher
doing her first terms work, below the
high school. should be expected to teach
for less than SIS per month, While no
teachers in the high school should be
paid less thar sS5 for first work. In
both of these cases, it should be under
stood that excellence of work should
lead to increase of salary from year to
year. Many of the towns are already
awakening to the situation and are in
creasing teachers salaries materially
! for next year.

Sugar Foe Of Alcohol.
From the New York Independent.

eA0 AVG" 1OIh XHQGpcnOent,
A s o'clock candy is a better r~estora-
tive than a S o'clock highball or even a s
o'clock tea, for 1t is a true nutrient in
stead OF a mere stimulant. It Is a mat
ter Of common observation that those
who like sweets usually do no like
alcohol. Women. for instance, are apt to
eat candy. but do not commonly take to
alcoholic beverages.
Look around you at a banquet table
and you will generally find that those
who turn down their wine glasses gen
orally take two Jumps in their deml-
tasses. We often hear it said that when
ever a candy store opens up a saloon in
the same block closes up.
Our grandmothers used to warn their
daughters: Don't marry a man who does
not want sugar In his tea. He is likely
to take tc drink" So, young men, when
next you give a box of candy to your best
girl and she offers you some, don't de-
cline it. Eat it and pretend to like it, at
least. for it is quite possible that she
looked into a physiology and is trying
you out. You never can tell what girls are
up to.
