PAY FOR COLLEGE PROFESSORS.

President Lowell, of Harvard, in aestima atins the budget of that college sfor the year to come has added sl5O,- 80o0 to the usual annual expenditure Tor running expenses. Some of this money will go to increasing the ia cilities of the school proper, but in it Is included a twenty five per cent raise in salaries of the teaching staff. President Lowell has the following to say in regard 10 salaries:
 Professors in universities do not demand, or expect, salaries on the rcale of those earned in business or among the successful mem bers of the great active professions. They would be satisfied with salaries that enabled Ntlem to live with reasonable com foft\in the comparatively modest scale of life which their position calls for, and to give 10 their children as good an education as they received them gelves. They also want to provide for their old age; and now that the Car negie Foundation is not to supply pensions for teachers hereafter ap- pointed, this must be done by an ad- bition to their salaries from the uni versity."
 The estimable gentleman, a college professor himself, does not use many Rrgun ents available for his purpose In asking for an increase in salaries of a branch already much under rewarded.
 The teacher, has always been re- Earded s necessity. There is not 3 parent who does not desire an education for his child. Most of them wish college education for their .xyouths, providing they are able to get them at fair expense. But few look to the welfare of the individua Is who are to have a mutual share in the brin ging- up of off spring. In these days of high wages little attention Is paid to the teacher, or profess sor. Pedagogues have always been. why should they not always be? is the average process of reasoning. None even bother their heads about the remuneration of this class of society.
 It is a pity to consider the com parative wage of the servants of the veople in public schools. and colleges.

 The interesting staten ment is made the Senate which relates to Bolshevist agitation that /"every champion an1 defender of Bolshevism who testified before the committee uneQuivocally admitted that the Boshevist formula was not adaptable to the conomic and social life of the United States" Two fundamental difficulties are that the great body Of the people have a com mon school education, and that a tre- mendous majority have 'vcsted inter- ests." which it is the scheme of Rol- shevism to uproot--though with the ultimate object Of concentrating all wealth, as well a all political poWer in the hands of few diCtatorS mas QucradinS as a "proletariat' Govern ment.
 In America the "Common people" are neither poor nor illiterate. It has been well said that the American 'proletariat" mum bcrs, at least. seven- ty millions, and we may term them bourgeoisie, if we prefer. ACCording 2 to the Bolshevist distinction. most of our population belongs to the "capi- talst" clasS--for that OutlaWed class includes every person who docs not perform manual labor, exclusively, for a livelihood, or who employs any other person, or who owns any property, or receives an income other than from tn work of his hands no matter how small the amount. "Farasite,' "bOur- geois' and capitalist are interchange able terms in the dictionary of Bo!- shcvism. Every possessor of savings banl<book a life insurance policy, or a Liberty bond would be set down as capitalist. as we'll as every man who owns his own home.
 The Overman report presents an edifyng picture of Wha, would be brought about if America came under Rolshevist rule, apart from the incl dents of blOOdShcd and physical de struCtion of property that would be necessary to inaugurate and maintain it. Millions of farmers, merchants, manufacturers and professional men, and every holder of a stock, bond or mortgage, would he deprived of the right 10 participate in the affairs Of the Government. as also preachers priests and the ianitors and other em- plONes of churches and religious bodies.
