HIGH SALARIES.'

. paid the , immense salaries
we read of, from $50,(X a
year .upward, : earn, them? And If
riot, can the se. in the case, of of-
j? icers of .. corporations, : which are
V creatures of the law, reduceand reg
ulate their salaries? These questions
'' are being; especially considered since
V the disclosure of the New York in
il snrance scandals, showing a long list
."" of salaries' ranging from $15,000 up
to $150,000 a year. Senator Dryden,
president of the Prudential Insurance
'. company, testified that be received a
aslary oi $65,000 a year and earned
'very dollar of it As he practically
owns the concern, he fixes his own
. aalary,r which the insurers must pay,'
whether they agree that he, earn it
or not; The United States pays the
" president only $50,000 a year... Jf that
is a fair compensation, how can the
, president of an .insurance company, or
even of a great railroad '. company,
' earn $100,000'or $150,000 a year? The
'. late 'Jacob ' I Greene, ' president of
jthe Connecticut Insurance company,
. said no man in such a position could
,: earn nor than $10,000 a year, and he
I refused to accept mots; although 4a
' ' far larger salary- was urged upon
V him, "He claimed that this was auf
' flcieut to command first-class talent
in any line of business. ., But in these
days of big1 things 'we' 'think be did
V not take a sufficiently, broad view of
the matter,
A man as a general, abstract prop
osition is worth all he can get; get
ting it is prima facie evidence that
1 lie earns it, but not proof positive, for
..'. the people who hire him may, not be
; the ones that have to pay him. ..The
people who , ultimately have to pay
him the common peoplehave
nothing to say; salaries axe fixed by
a cabal or coterie of high salaried
: men for themselves. Could not Mr.
J. J. Hill, for instance, fix hia salary
at $5,000,000 a year, and those of his
sons and other chief lieutenants pro-
portionately ? , And would not the
people who use his roads ultimately
have to pay those salaries"?" ,i i ;
It is difficult for men of compar
atively small affairs to say what the
salaries of presidents and other1 high
" officers of great corporations ought to
he, but there is a growing opinion
; that there la a great salary graft in
connection with these quasi-public
: corporations, and that ' the smaller
' stockholder if not the people gener-
ally ought to have something to say
about it - --. '
A GET-MARRIED CLUB.
S
OME NON-SOCIETY young
single people of St Louis or
young rora-at least, and the
girls will soon fall in have organized
;'; a get-acquainted club, its object e
Jflg to bring together young men and
young women in an innocently' social
; way, so that they may form acqulint
ances, with the r avowed object of
IJ choosing life partners. By joining
the club sny young man or woman
V announces that he or she would like
! .t msrry but knows no pne suitable
; to marry. ': Picnics and other enter
tainments will be devised, affording
- these unmated young people oppor
tunities to 'get acquainted with one
another, to pick and choose and pair
off . and court and propose and say
., , Supposing this- to be the real and
SOle object, it is a good scheme. Many
' a young mas fit. to marry and who
would like to marry doesn't marry
because he doesn't know any suitable
girt Those he would have he can't
get,, and those that he could get he
wouldn't have. And many a maiden,
If not "all forlorn" on this account, is
, in a similar predicament. It is gen
erally the case that neither a young
man' nor young woman of the work-
, ing classes has much opportunity of
picking and choosing, A couple be
comes acquainted, friendly, court and
marry, and perhaps make a mis
mated couple, when if a lot of young
people aould get together and' become
aem sated, aaah wiUi g score or so
Edito
of. the opposite sex, mora congenial
matches would be made.
l'A young man earning enough to
support a wife would be much better
off going on such a club's picnics
looking for a wife than in running
about with male companions only or
going .with just ope girl whom he
doesn t care much for; and there It
nothing immodest or improper in In
telligemV- well-behaved girls joining
such a diib and acknowledging that
they want to marry the fight sort of
young man.
LA FOLLETTFS CHIME.
H
EMENWAY of Indiana is one
of the senators whom Sen
ator La Follettc attacked on
account of their votes on the rate
bill, and Hemenway was on the plat
form when at a Chautauqua assembly
La ; Follette scored him . and others,
showing the, nerve" of the Wiscon
sin man. As a reply the Indiana ma
chine has formally made the terrible
charge against La' Follette that he
voted with the Democrats on most of
the amendments proposed, and ac
tually had, the audacity, he being the
newest member, to introduce an
amendment himself and debate it for
most of two days, all of which was in
violationWf precedent' and subversive
of party discipline. But .one Repub
lican: paper, m reply to these damn
ing 'charges, saya:. V: The Hoosier
proclamation illustrates admirably
one of the things most seriously, the
matter "with political managers now
adays. They haven't discovered yet
that-? the day of buncombe ia past
They have failed to appreciate the
significance of decaying . partisan
rancor and increasing' intelligence.
They are still trying to substitute in
vective for debate, epithets for facta.
They think independence is still a
crime, and utterly overlook that it. is
now become a virtue." '
Yes, the time, is fast approaching
when a man can't be read out of a
party, by a corrupt political machine
because he dares to do right and
stand by the people, and if he is read
out the people vote him ia nerer
theless. - ; ,
THE OLD WOMAN
NOTHER University of ' Chi
cago professor has broken
- out, this time one who says
that not only -was man hot created
first," nor woman out of. one of his
ribs, but that the original human ani
mal, was, the female, and that she
tamed man from an inferior wild ani
mal, and through uncounted ages
dominated him, only by alow grade
,tions falling to an inferior state phys
ically ana, in some respects mentally.
Professor Thomas goee on to say
some other things that are somewhat
sensational and that will meet with
almost , universe!" contradiction, but
at to this assertion of woman's orig
inal superiority, there is nothing new
in it, and It appears to bs a quite gen
erally accepted theory. '' Probably
the prior evolution of the female into
a woman somewhat comparable with
the modern woman progressed faster
than that of the male' biped, for what
reason one could only speculate, for
it must have been a process of evo
lution. It : seems " incredible that
there" could have been a "woman,1
and no man, nothing male comparing
to her except some vastly inferior
creature; but that the female in the
earlier stages of the evolution of the
human race - was ia all respects su
perior to the male is generally con
ceded.'. And this' relative status was
probably maintained throughout
many. ages. , But after he got his
start man gamed on woman,, and fin
ally, at some prehistoric period, had
passed hert at least, in most parts of
the globe, in weight and strength of
body and the weight - though not
necessarily in the quality of brsin.
Beyond the earlier inklings of his
tory w speculate in the dark, yet
keen touches have felt and cat-eyes
have seen there evidences that on
this .proposition tna professor ; is
right, and he finds confirmation of
woman's original dominance itv the
fact that in some essential particulars
she does yet dominate to the truth
of which conclusion he can find, a
cloud of male witnesses. '

It waa a aaa of a battle, and warrior
never won a more alorloua victory than
Bam Houston that day won over the

The "foroee" were laraaly ob paper.
but Bam Houston was a perfect human
meaner, and It waa only a, ahert time
before he had drawn to himself the bear
fighting army that this planet has ever
eeen.
This may aeemlto be a "rather broad
statement but Its truthfulneaa will ap
pear in the sequel.
Mexico waa aoterminea tnat Texas
should not bo free; and old Santa Ana
set himself in motion to annihilate the
impudent fellowe who had dared to
laaue their declaration of independence.
Bam Houston, with TS0 Texana, lav
alone the Baa Jacinto creek, near the
reeent city of Houston. Every man
a Houston's little army loved liberty
more than he did his own life, and
every man tn that army waa an expert
with the nee. It may be added that
every, man in that Immortal army waa
there ror the pure love of the cause.
and would have scorned the Idea of pay
for the services he waa about to render.
Santa Ana. with 1.100 Mexican rea-o.
lars, stood face to face with the patriot'
army along the , now famous Texan
etream.

Houston called a council of war. and
the verdict waa unanimously shouted
forth in one word:, 'Tlghtr
the same ratio as the increase in
home consumption, which is esti
mated at 12,000,000 ' bushels year.
Canada has a great deal of land good
for wheat yet untitled, and if the price
should rise from year to year a good
deal more would be produced in the
United States, but it may be ex
pected that consumption in this coun
try will gradually, overtake produc
tion. Then the United ' Kingdom
would have to look elsewhere, per
haps to new wheat fields in Siberia. -
BEST- FEATURE OMITTED.
rTtHE NEW consular law class!-
I fies . and grades the service,
provides for the temporary transfer
of certain consular officials by the
president, the appointment of five in
spectors of consulates, abolishes com
irfercial agents, forbids consuls above
a certain, grade to pratice" law, ! re
quires ; them to perform notarial
services for fees but forbids personal
fees, and partially Americanizes the
service. These provisions will, un
doubtedly do something to improve
the service, yet the National Business
lesgue has sent' out a circular argu
ing that the best and most vital fea
ture of the law aa originally framed,
the merit system, was eliminated.
Hence, the league says, the new law
gives no assurance of a permanent
betterment of the consular service,
nor inducement to the educated, am
bitious young man to make a career
therein. The only point of admission
to, the service should be at the low
est grade, thence by promotion up
ward through the higher grades, pre
cisely as young men, enter busineii
life with certainty of advancement
proportional to demonstrated effic
iency.
The league insists on the adoption
of the merit system of examination,
appointment and promotion, so as to
remove the service from the sphere
of political influence and the spoils
system, and on some other' features
left out of 'the present law, and it
would be well for business men to
think the subject over and use their
influence td have the law amended in
these psrticulars. The appointment,
retention arjd promotion of consuls
should be entirely taken out of the
hands of professional politicians and
partisan office holders. The service
will never be improved and reformed
as it should be until this is done. .
