E HAVE SHOWN that the highest grade teacher In Portland 11 years ago was paid 11.200 and that the same grade teachtr now after, perhaps, all these additional year of service. Is raid $.50 and thai N while in that time there have been three, and In some " grades four reduction, there ha been only one increase, , .kih iia not eiul RnV of the reduction. The highest averar monthly aalary paid is $62.60 and the lowest aver Sgs salary is $S4.1H. Beyond the general proposition that i to secure the best result It la alwaya good busineaa policy to pay fair salaries, there are Involved in the discussion of , teacher' aalarles two points that should te consiaerea The first of these Is the cost of living and the second wages paid elsewhere for the same class of work. ." a Portland teacher who endeavors to keep up appear 1 ajtces and at the same time- keep abreast of the new Ideas ; In her profession and those things which Incidentally have av bearing upon it, rives the following as a perfectly fair sample of the expenses which she, will legitimately be called upon to bear: .- ; Board 30.00 ; ( Laundry ,........ Clothing ......................... :' Books and periodicals Churches and charities .............. k . . . Amusements ............ Self Improvement ..,... ........... ' ' Carfare and travel ,...............,...,......... : "Recreation and outing .;.

As ' s matter of fact roost of them do. Many of thm carry - little life Insurance or some similar Investment, To meet .these obligations they are obliged to forego some of the . enumerated luxuries. It Is said that the average teacher In' Portland does not spend a dollar a monjh on amuse ments and that her bill for carfare Is reduced by the sum , mary method of not using the cars. The movement, there- fore, for an Increase lri salary Is the outgrowth of their own " pressing needs. .j-A-- - - -- t How do salaries average elsewhere? In Portland the highest grade teachers get $750 a year, in Ban Francisco $I8, In Oakland $900. In Los Angeles fSOO, Milwaukee $900, y Seattle $800, Minneapolis $S00. These are fair average samples ' of fair, average cities. . Contrasts undoubtedly should be made with cities of similar consequence on the raclflo coast and Judging them In this way, the teachers of Portland make put a case against the city. ' y The whole matter should be taken up in a reasonable tpirit ; by the school board, , That body has certain con dltlons to meet and these must be met, but isn't It possible to meet them all and at the same time do the teathers full . Justice based upon the service which they render, the cost of living and the amount which la paid for similar work .In like cities on the coast?- ' , r ,t,. A SPEND VACATIONS IN WORK.' WORD to the young' men who have graduated, or are home from college for the summer vacation; Don't loaX -. Do something. Be useful in some way. A little outing Is all right, but loafing away all summer Is all wrong. Find some work to do, and do it t If yon are determined to bury yourself In a law office, and, probably pass a comparatively useless existence, go at It and work at it, for success, doubtless at best, can only be achieved through work. But work on a farm, in the 'woods, la the mines, in the orchard or hopfleld, In a shop, will In a great majority of cases be better, r At any rate don't loaf. A young man loafer is a! despicable object "' If he has acquired something of an education, at expense to his parents, this makes loafing all the more censurable. Aside from a reasonable outing, you can afford It, do something useful every day and do it well. Earn something more than you consume every day. The world needs workers of all kinds. The young man who goes to work during his vacations will succeed at whatever, he undertakes. The Idler, the dawdler, the loafer, the young1 man who despises work and Imagine -that his little education has raised him out of the working class, will miserably fall, and will deserve so to falL THE INDIAN WAR VETERANS.. T ODAT that portion of the male pioneers who are also Indian war veterans are holding their annual meetlna. be Ins entertained, again renewing ac quaintanceship formed lri(the early days of privation and peril, and exchanging reminiscences or tnose(ume ana their experiences. They are men, and their wive or tnat time, if yet alive.' art women, whom It la not only dutiful hut should be pleasurable to honor and entertain, It ought to be not only interesting but usefully instructive for younger people to observe these old men and women, to study and ponder upon their lives and experiences In "old Oregon," to consider well the part they plsyed here and its consequences, and to reflect upon 'that picture, and then on this." . The halo of romance envelops old .Oregon in young eyes now. . The picture is of continuous woods, of prairies cov ered with rank grass, of game In great' abundance, and streams alive with fish; of the glamor of a virgin land, in which to live must have been a perpetual delight But there were tolls and trials and hardships and dangers, too. Making a productive -farm' was In many cases a long and toilsome process. There were wild animals that destroyed much before they were destroyed. Nearly all the advant ages and enjoyments of life in a populous community were lacking., The very isolation and silence roust to many have become a burden. Then on several occasions, and In several portions of the Oregon of that day occurred the uprisings of hostile Indians, to repel and crush which these now old men marched forth, sometimes hundreds of miles, on a perilous Journey lasting for weeks or months, and as .bravely as any soldiers ever did, fought to protect their families, their new homes, the germs of the splendid state that they bad planted In this then new place on the earth. And those wives of war Veterans bore even the heavier fburden; left at home in the wilderness alone with young children, perhaps, they kept the cabin against the master's ret una or news of his fall; they fed the young mouths and kept their bodies clothed; they even raised the crops, and perhaps sometimes shot a deer or varmint; they made these pioneer homes worth the men's defense. How long It seems. How dim ! that picture to us, who live in this noisy, bustling city, or even In the thickly set tied and well-cultivated rural districts. The 4rue stories these old veteran men and women tell sound like tales of some faraway, misty past, of some distant century; 'and yet these, veterans who art with us, and many of them active In body and young In spirit yet were grown men and women when these experiences were passed through. Most of them are gone; not long hence the last of these valiant fighters will have passed from the scenes of these tolls and triumphs. They deserve, what little time they remain, the kindly consideration of all. Roosevelt needs no rooters at Chicago, Folk Sensibly declines ' to consider anything politically Just now, but the governorship of , Missouri. , Probably the' result in Illinois next fall will . make so great Va strugsle among Democrats seem absurd.' ; At least Ksox is so much of an im provement on Quay that Pennsylvania begins to feet almost respectable. - v - . ; i I Secretary Moody, who may become at torney-general, has never made any no table reputation as a trust buster. . By the way. Oregon will vote for president In November. It did not,' as was reported, vote on president In June. The graduatea will discover awhile that there la Sometimes difference between theories and ties. after a big reall The Democrats may not get as many votes next fall as the Republicans, but their convention .will be more inter estlng. All this talk about vacations ought to do some good, for many people might sets more benefit out of Vacations than they do. , ' ' i .,- It will take seven trains to carry Tammany men to 8L Louis.

" From the Chicago Tribune. ' For almost every person Under 60 and ' for a great many people over CO, exer cise 1 the nearest approach to a panacea for bodily Ills that has yet been de : vised. Causing the body to move and ' Stretch and push and pull makes the blood circulate, the liver do its work .and the nerves to pick up their dropped Stitches. An excellent time to exercise Is before breakfast Neither man nor beast as a rule, goes to sleep hungry. During sleep , there is little waste ofrenergy. On wak- ins there is no immediate demand for replenishing of lost tissues. Farther more, the long sleep has left the nerves end the digestive apparatus dull and leadened. To sit down to a heavy break- , fast within 15 or 20 minutes after get ting out of bed means that the stomach ' receives food which it does not need and Will not readily digest - -i A little shaklns-uD before breakfast arouses the vitality, and consequently makes the appetite and digestion better. ,.That means better work done during the day. If a man can get away from work in time to take additional exer else during the afternoon, he will have a better appetite for his evening meal and more power to digest It That will mean better sleep at night Many a man has succeeded in the world without paying any attention to his body Joseph Chamberlain, for in stance. But such men would probably nave succeeded more easily, and certain ly with more pleaaure to themselves, If they nan taicen care of their bodies. A strong mind is certainly stronger and more enduring In a healthy body than a sickly one. The best way to keep the body heaJtby is to use it. that he Is "safe," that the number of trusts he Is opposed to la really yery small and that they will be given every opportunity tor comply with the law be fore proceeding are instituted against them. . coarrsvTxoss Airs tot mob, COsmnutxara wits x-ihajtctebs. j , Washington Special to N.

Per ' , Vina, one of Mr. Morgan's partners.

From the New Tork Post What one is most struck by, however, ta, all this hurly-burly of quarrelsome convention! is the indication that the whole system is breaking down. There is nothing sacred about it It was merely a party shift to begin with, sup planting the congressional caucus only because It was expected to work better. But it is jow working pretty badly. Con ventions are, confessedly unwieldly members lo some statos run to 1,600 or more and expensive; and if they lead to many more such wearisome dead locks or huge wrangles a we are now seeing, the question of an alternative method may well be raised. Of course the idea was to base the convention as broadly as possible so . as to give the people large participation, and hence make them more satisfied with the re sult In practice, however, it appears that 1,600 nobodies are less fitted to deliberate and decide wisely than 100 capable, men, while much more exposed to being deceived or corrupted." With the 1,000 or more delegates On the floor we have come to have the 10,000 or so In the galleries, doing all they can to make the convention . take on the ap pearance of a mob, and so still further to degrade It bxxd ktsxo nr BoaToar. From the Boston Transcript The morning and evening song of the catbird is as pretty a production of bird music as one could wish to hear.

(To th Editor of The Journal.) Dear Sir: The articles published in your widely read and excel lent paper from 41m to time regarding the Inestimable advantages and superior ity of Oregon over most part of the United States are timely, and as a stranger, having no. interests whatever in Oregon, it seems to me that the people of Portland and Of the state at large should be mighty thankful that they have such a champion In their midst a The Oregon Journal, a paper that wake them up out of their lassitude. Oregon ha a great deal more to boast of than most part of the world and my experience as a traveler (having been In every part of the American continent) baa been that the inhabitants of other sections of the counry know very little about Oregon, and eastern people merely have a vague idea, as a rule, of its loca tion, even. The scenic beauty of Oregon alone should make the state world-famed; few days ago I rode on the Car to the site of the Lewi and Clark exposi tion, and on arrival at the terminal of the line I beheld one of the most sublime views possible to witness. Such a view 1 only to be seen In western America. - With the exposition park in the fore ground, looking beyond over the silvery streak formed In the landscape by the river, the mountains In the distance, with the snow-armored - peaks rising clear against the sky, among them being Mts. Hood, Adams, St Helens and Rainier. Could anything be more Imposing, mag nificent and beautiful, when the sun smites the scene on the sudden like a painter and the landscape smile up in response like the finished work of a master artist? I speak of a season when it Is possibly seen at its best, when the white feathery clouds are high, when they slide over the scene like gods and the meadows are lit up with sunshine as if the soul of Titian were standing in heaven and play ing his fancies upon it. The tree cast their shadows, but how twenty-fold green they appear In this evergreen regloirl- Tne scene la so striking that One find great difficulty in giving even a feeble description Of It. Nature is lovable, and the way I have learned something of Its beauties, its sublime systertes. ha been by .living a great deal in the west Nature I certainly seen at her best In Oregon, and people who come , to Portland to visit the exposition next year, even from the most distant parts, will be well re paid.
