THE CASE OF THE TEACHERS.
E HAVE SHOWN that the highest grade teacher

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.

sample of the expenses which she, will legitimately be

:' It will readily be seen that on this basis the teacher who
. wishes to come out even at the end of tip year will be
obliged to forego some of these Comforts or luxuries. 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

SPEND VACATIONS IN WORK.'
WORD to the young' men who have graduated, or

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

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.

WOMEN AND THE WORK HABIT
The election of Frank A. Seufert as mayor of The. Dalles
Is a well-deserved compliment Few men are better in
formed regarding conditions in bis own general neighbor
hood than Is Mr, Seufert; few men have given such matters
more thought and study and still fewer have better defined
Ideas of the way to bring about improvements. Once work
is actually begun on the Celtlo canal The Dalles must
steadily increase in importance and no one- is better
equipped to take advantage of whatever opportunities are
presented than is Mr. Seufert, the new mayor.

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

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
A "Pleased Traveled,
Portland, Or., June 80. (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. ' - . :
I thought perhaps that your readers
might ' be pleased to : know what a
stranger and traveler thinks' of their
state from a scenic standpoint There
fore I take the liberty of addressing you

place and he asks me to write to him.
Do you think It right for me to write .
to him, and how, could I find out If he 4
really loves me, a I love him dearly. ,.
