IF THE TEACHERS ORGANIZE.
Dean James Russell of Teacher's College, Columbia
University, believes that the day has come when public
school teachers should organize and that in such organ
ization may be much benefit to the teachers themselves
and to the public.
The establishment of high professional standards, of
an ethical code, is to be desired, he thinks, but he says,
also:
"An organization of teachers nation-wide and proper
ly authoritative must be founded on principles that will
be universally recognized as valid, and its conduct must be
above reproach. No selfish motive can be allowed to in
terfere with the realization of its ideals.
"The individual teacher will find inspiration and re
newed courage in the consciousness of marching shoulder
to shoulder with his fellows in a mighty army recruited
to fight the battles of civilization and democracy.
Dean Russell suggests a set of principles which such
an organization might fairly adopt. Every member
should be 100 per cent American. There should be no
discrimination against any sex, grade or school. There
should be equal pay for equal work, and a living wage al
ways. The teacher should teach his pupils the fundamen
tal facts of American life, and help them to make a wise
choice in their affiliations, but he musf not proselyte, or
conduct propaganda for any cause on which citizens are
divided, and he must have a decent respect for the opin
ions of others.
To an organization founded on such principles no
one could have any objection if it always could be kept
true to its ideals, which is doubtful. If so, it would work
to the advantage of teachers, pupils and public.
If speech wasn't free in this country every United
States senator would long ago have been Hopelessly
bankrupt.'
public where he stands,
The plan has been worked out without anv SDecial
legislation, and seems simple enough to be worth adopting
anywhere.
It might be tried in connection with another scheme,
which has heen proposed in this countryto have lists
giving wholesale prices published in prominent places so
that the customer can see for himself how high a per
centage of profit the retail dealer is making in each case;
Legislation is often slow and unwieldy, and the simp
ler the scheme which can be devised to meet the question
the better.
Evidently the Oregonian's presidential aspirations for
"Dr. Wood" have actually been chilled into a relapse.
Hence the present dilema of the "Old Guard" mouthpiece,
which comes out with a column of "feelers" clipped from
me republican country press of the state. William How
ard Taft appears as the popular choice among the quoted
editors, all of which -will probably convert the Oregonian
10 the beiiet tnat, after all, "old loves are best."
With flour now considerably lower on the wholesale
market than for several months the arbitrary one-cent
raise in the price of bread by Portland bakers has the ap
pearance of food for the sleuthing instincts of secret ser
vice agents, whose services President Wilson has asked in
hunting out the profiteers.

All the national editors carried away with them
souvenirs of Salem in the shape of packages of dehydrat

BURNING MONEY.
Life is gay and blithe and sunny, since the peace dove
hit the breeze; everyone is burning money just as though
it grew on trees. I insist on thrift and saving, but there's
none to heed my words; johnnies say that I am raving,
;md throw money to the birds. Men aVe drawing princely
wages, and their breasts are filled with mirth, and they
jeer foreboding sages who predict a day of dirth ; but that
day will come as surely as tomorrow's sun will rise; things
will then be going poorly with the giddy spendthrift guys.
Things won't boom along forever as they're booming now
riy friends; and the man who's truly clever saves as ably
as he spends.lt is patent to the knowi'ngjn expensive time's
Ike these, that the kopecks won't be growing always on
the shrubs and tiw. There will come a day of trouble,
whei, this boom is left behind, and the kopeck and the
rouble will lie mighty hard to find; hippy then the lads
whose wages have been safely placed in brine, who obeyed
the seers and sages, when the saving graft was fine. And
how sick will be the mortals who like spendthrifts now be
have, who reply with jeers and chortles when we call on
them to save! , ' ... -
