Teachers Salaries.

For several wears an argument has
been going on under the surface re
gariing teachers salaries. All the
school authorities maintain that the
salaries are very low, and many men
of affairs hold-but do not urge the
point publicly for fear they will be
considered old fogieS-that they are
high, on the average,
Is not the real fact that the condi-
tion in regard to salaries here is
much the same as prevailed in all in
dustrv through the war period? The
demand has been greater than the
supply and consequently there has
been little distinction between the
skilled and the unSkilled, Girls with
livery limited training and less eXper-
fence have received greater compen'
sation than they could have obtained
lin other lines of work, their pay has
been very high.
Trained teachers, who have made
a study of this most important voca'
ton and have given years to prepare
ton. can get little more than theil
poorly qualified competitors. Ihi;

Give Us Something Snappy,

This Prof. Einstein person who
has come from Germany to visit US
is the famous astronomer and math-
ematician who has recently sensa-
toned the world by giving it the the
ory, or law, Of relatively" Rela-
tivity means that time and space is
not infnitive-that there really is an
end to space and that there will be
an end to time.
But this editor can't exactly get it.
Suppose you travel out in space in
a straight line for a thousand mill
lion miles, and then another million
billion miles and then a billion tril-
lion miles, and finally run up against
the DR.. Einstein end Of space. What
is beyond that? If its a wall, what's
beyond that wall? If it black moth
ingness, how far does that black
nothingness extend, and then what's
beyond that?
Suppose you think Of a future in
time of a thousand million years
which science says is more than the
total age of the earth. Then sup
pose you go into the future another
million billion years and then a bill

Lovett Survey Encouraging.

Judge Lovett, chairman of Union
Pacific executive committee and
board of directors, after an extensive
trip through the West, says:
Contrary to an opinion that seems
to be widely held acreage has not

grain stocks left on farmers hands.
Furthermore, weather and soil condi-
tons have warranted predictions Of

Can the People Be Fooled?

Samuel Gompers and Frank Nor
rison, president and secretary re
sp~ectively Of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor, addressed mass meet
IngS recently 10 protest against the
nationwide open shop movement.
Mr.. GomperS said he believed
that the American people who did
90 much TO defeat military autocra-
cy in the last war will not now con-
sent to the substitution in the United
States of an industrial autocracy."
Equal opportunity before the
law, before government and in the
democratic production of industry
that is what we demand and nothing
less will satisfy labor"
These men talk about equal op-
portuniV before the law, industrial
autocracy and democratic produc-
ton"
Would either GomperS or Morri-
son allow any free born American
citizen to work at his trade beside
one of their union members if he did
not have a card in the same union ?
No, they would let him starve in
the street or call a strike if an EN-
ployer put him to work. Is this a
sample of equal opportunity which
they cry about? Is this democratic
production? Or is it real labor au-
~tocracy? Let Mr.. Gompers or Mr..
Morrison answer. Would they allow
a man to work in a So-called union
shop without a card?
Is it any wonder the American
people are backing the open shor
movement when they realize thai
the closed shop program denies the
primary rights guaranteed every in.
dividual by the constitution and abour
which Mr.. Gompers likes to pirate.
Belonging to a union should b.
neither a bar nor a requisite to Sc.
curing employment. The principle o.
labor uniofism is fine and can &C
complish much good but the de
mands Of labor autocracy are vi
cious. The public is not against TIKI
laboring man, it is against the la
Dor dictators who exploit both TIT
laoorer and the public.

leyeling process tends to discourage

front the unframed.
Efficiency and economy call for the
payment of adequate compensation
to the highly skilled in any line of
activity, and prOportionstely lower
pay to the apprentices and the I'M
skilled. In other words, the best re-
suits in teaching will not be obtained
until there is more spread in salaries

Sharkskin "Shoe Leather"

weld leather of high quality, suitable
for many purposes and attractive for
travelling bags, brief cases, desk sets
and the like. When the value of the

ability of the flesh as meal for feed
ing animals are taken into cOnsidera-
ton, 1t seems obvious that there is an
important future ahead of shark

Many have equipped their cars so
