I THE UNDERPAID PROFESSOR He Is being cramped and humili­ ated on all sides. Is consc lotiS that he Is becoming qua*l-mb*riy through overatteution to |>enni<‘s in fact. Is himself living a petty and «»rdld life, and. what is much worse, sees those he most cares for. and for whom he Is responsible. Involved in the same destiny, says The Review. He wil­ lingly took on the tow of poverty for himself, perhaps, but not for them. He would go into plumbing if he knew enough. He Is In the dutch of an out-and-out exasperating experience, one that Is destructive both of his dignity and his self-respect. Wheth­ er. under this harrow, he reveals bol- shevoid tendencies or not, a man in such a mood ought not to be teach­ ing our sons. He Is bound to be wearied and distraught, if not bitter and cynical. It takes enthusiasm and fervor to fire the heart of youth. There 1» call for the clear and equable mind, sufficiently at rest as respects Its own concerns to be able to spar»' that force upon which his charges ought to have the right to draw. As things now go. the best men will keep out of teaching, and presently the In­ ferior ones, less robust and resistant of nonsense, may actually fall, as some have already fallen. Into the status of sugge-tible malcontents. The heads of most professors are not yet weak enough for bol-hevlsir.: but certain journals that dish up brain­ softening compounds, full of Insinu­ ation and suggestion, are far too pop­ ular among them. To such Influences they are becoming ever more “open minded." This Is dangerous. If the cure of Russian bolshevism is more food, the prophylaxis of professorial bolshevism Is more salary. A DOCTORS’ UNIONI We ar»> Infonmal by a contem­ porary that th»' Bronx doctors have fanned a union and will seek affili­ ation with the American FcJcuitlon of Labor. This seems to us to be an act of sup»*rcrogation. but presum ably the doctors know what they are doing. They always do know what they are doing when strengthening their own position by associntlonal agreements, although at times they ate not so sure of It when engaged In strictly professional work. There Is a wide-spread belief, however, that the doctors were already fairly well “organised." and that they hail eieit enlisted the police power of the state in the cause of a “ c I osh I shop." We are curious to see Just what .pe the new scale of prices will take, and if lit«' qualified but unknown young phy­ sician or surgeon will h«' entitled to as much pay as th«' provid. if no more skillful, operator. says New York Morning Telegraph. Also, »«■ would like to ask If they will be expected to "walk oift" In sympathy should other sections of the “needle" trades quit because of a Ju-*t grievance? Again would It be unethical for them to write a prescription without a previ­ ous understanding-that It must not be tilltd In a cut-rate pharmacy? Just go back In your mind over the way you ha»e coute ami tt>uut the number of times you have b«H>n mi successful, when you threw up your hands and starttd into damn euudi tious anl pity youteelf. If th»' farm er waited until weather, red. maria t conditions and his own personal feel Ings suited him right down to the ground, he would never reap a bar- vest. The business man will nevet have everything Just to his liking. Prices will he too high or too low. the seasons will lie too c«»l«l or too hot and It’s always either too wet or too dry. Our observation has been that the most successful men are th«' i ties who «io not use up their energy quarreling with conditions, says Grit. They are the men who smile and hop to It. They find out. first of all. If 'here Is anything wrong with them selves or their particular business which they can overcome and set right, and then pull up their belt-» an other notch unit hop to It. They real e that the other fellow is busy with his own particular problems, that It is up to them Individually to make good and when they attain to this frame of ntlml they usually do. Hop to it. brother, while the hopping's good.

Since that time Mr. Woodham’s friends and many cus­ tomers have urged upon him to re-enter the hardware business and finally have been successful in prevailing on him to put in a complete NEW stock of haidware and household necessities at the old stand occupied by Mr. Woodham for so many years. _________ Like the old saying “You never miss the wat -r until the well go s dry” nor did the people of this community realize the importance and co-i’ enience of un up-to-date hardware store until the doors were closed and it was found necessary to make a trip into the city to buy their many needs in hardware and household necessities, and it w:.s also found that they had to pay a higher price than that .sked by Mr. W’oodham for the s
