Governor Cornwell, in a recent address to 'each- CTS in his home state, called attention to huioei of interesting facts which the labor asitators nave missed or concealed What is true of west Nrslhl' teachers is practically of teachers Tn all othe states; true also of bank clerks, of lnnumeraple stenographers, and of others who work lie salu'

The conductor who sits in Pull and runs the fast passenger trains on eight hour shifts is paid than those professors who have given and are giving their very lives to the work"
 This is no attack the aboring man, organized unorganzed, but pointing to a disparity which does receive general attention at the hands of those agitators who pursue the endless eyerhigher wage.
 And this plain philosophy: q want to impress that prices cannot be lowered by stopping work and lessening production Every strike that stops mine mill lessens the production of any neces sty means to increase the price of all necessities to some extent, however small"
 Gov Cornwall does not only bring the fact that skilled labor in the United States is being well paid now but his statement to call attention to a fact that is becoming more apparent each day
 that school teachers, college professors and othe are underpaid And this is not only true of school teachers college professors and the others mentioned by Gov Cornwell, but it is of those the Gov ernment classified civil service These too are men and women in the most part who qualified their work by long years of special service.

 It believes they hot-beds of sediton, where plots against the government of the country and the morals of organized society matched.

 The fact of the matter is that labor has delayed its "housecleaning" too long.
 Months ago, it's friends issued warning that In labor did not "cean up, the people would per form the act for it.

 Very likely Great Britain will benefit by the relations which the treaty establishes, and prob ably will Persia. Backward nations have often had reason to be satisfied with the results when they have accepted the guidance of advanced nations.
 But is there any reason why the people of the United States should be alarmed displeased be- cause Great Britain has undertaken the job of guid- ing Persia? With British protection and hedp, the country will develop and be better customer and neghbor in the world at large Without such sup port Persia would continue in it's old incompeen ways until some other country-possibly reorganl- zed and renVigorated Germany-came along and ook the place that Great Britain occupies.

 The villagers, along with most persons in this section of the coun- try, believe that he is coming here to settle down for life. If that be his intention he has selected as a voluntary substitute for St. Helena one of the prettiest spots in Holland. There is nothing in the estate he has purchased or in the surrounding community to suggest a place of exile.

The worst that ever was said i'll connection with NIr Sorby's police administration was that he was inexperienced In that sort ci work His honesty was not ques toned. It was contended, use an apt phrase of
 Lincoln, that MT Sorhy in the position of Chief of Police was like square peg in round hole. Thera were corners that were not filled. However MT sorby made such 8 good Chief of Police in so many ways that large number Juneau people were sorry when he resigned.

ENGLAND AND PERSIA

A good deal has been written and said about the British treaty with Persia with an intention to con vince the world that the British Empire is about to swallow Persia whole.
 The text of the treaty does not indicate that Persia is about to disappear. The treaty begins with agreement on the part of Great Britain to respect the independence and integrity of Persia and that agreement will be enforceable in the League of Nations.
 The treaty then provides. for the appointment of expert advisers, who shall have such powers as the Persian Government agrees 10. Their duty will he
