CUTTING TEACHERS' PAY POOR | ECONOMY. : | Answering the suggestions made in several States; that reductions be made in the salaries of school teachers as a means of reducing public expenditures, | the National Education Association has issued a | warning that such a policy would be disastrous to! the cause of education and against the best in- terests of public welfare. Its word of caution is timely. The salaries paid to school teachers, at best, are not commensurate with the stipends earned by members of other professions. They are notor- iously underpaid when there is taken into consid- eration the expense and time required by them in qualifying for their calling. To lower the pay they receive would inevitably drive out many of the higher class teachers, either into communities who do not participate in the reductions, or into some other line of work. The caliber of the whole profession would be lowered and the schools of the country necessarily suffer. In recent years, standards of teaching re- quirements have been raised perceptibly, and this| has been accompanied by a comparable lifting of the standards of work in the schools. But the stan- dard of salaries has not kept pace. Thus to lower ‘aries now would be wholly unjust, putting a bur- on those who are least able to stand it. THE WéRLD SAYS “GOOD-BYE.” On Friday, February 27, The New York World, after nearly a half-century of vitality, passed into history. It became a newspaper of the past, and uture will have life only in tradition. Some of the principles, however, for which it fought cour- ageously will continue to' be embodied in the life T our people and the nation. In the last edition of the World, the leading rial, written but not signed by Walter Lipp- man. the editor, expressed the journal's farewell. It is reprinted as follows: This is the last appearance of “The World” as its readers have known it. The ownership of the newspaper has passed from the heirs of Joseph Pulitizer to the publishers of the Scripps-Howard chain of wspapers. With this sale the responsi- ity of the present editorial direction comes 1 end Page 1 of this issue the trustees fnewspaper properties are making the announcement of the action they taken. On this page it remains only us to say a grateful farewell to the iders of “The World,” to pay tribute to the long line of distinguished newspaper men who, over a period of nearly a half century made “The World” what it has been, and" to salute those who now become the owners and directors of the newspapers. We have striven, subject to the limita- tions of our ability and of ordinary human frailty, to carry out the solemn injunction of the founder that “The World” should be conducted “as a public institution for higher than mere gain,” and at all “In & spirit of independence.” We be- that the readers of “The World” have thelr faith in the genuineness of purpose by the loyalty with which they supported” thie paper.

As “The World-Telegram” it is certain to take on a new wisdom and power. In many re- spects the policies of the two organizations run parallel. By contrast, it is easy to think of des- tinations for the Pulitizer journals which would have been little short of tragic. Every one will hope confidently that much of the old “World” spirit will live on its new embodiment. To the new “World-Telegram” we wish a long life and all suc- cess, Proving a Conspiracy. | (New York Times.) Most people laughed, or merely wondered, when reading of the wicked political conspiracy which Representative McFadden disclosed, in all its horrid details, on Wednesday. He started with the fact that the resolution to investigate Tammany was defeated at Albany by the vote of two Republican State Senators. To the ordinary mind this result, sad as it was, appeared capable of a simple and natural explanation. But the penetrating gaze of the Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency went below the surface and discovered a whole chain of incriminating circumstances. Three weeks ago the leader of Tammany Hall sailed away on a vacation. This showed that he felt secure! against a legislative inquiry, and the assurance could have come to him only through the Repub- lican boss of Westchester County. But a return favor was exacted ror the delivery of the votes of the, two Westchester Senators. What was it? ~ Ob- | viously—or at least it is obvious to Representative McFadden—the delivery of the votes of two Demo- cratis United States Senators at Washington in favor of the nomination of Mr. Eugene Meyer to be Governor of the Reserve Board. This might have seemed too ridiculously round- about and fantastic to be noticed by the Senate. Yet both Senator Wagner and Senator Copeland rose solemnly to “brand” as unfounded, false, malic- lous, infamous, and all the rest of the Senatorial vocabulary, the insinuations made by Representative McFadden. He, of course, will eagerly seize upon these denunciations as further evidence that he had laid bare the facts. When Shakespeare declared that to people who are “jealous,” trifles light as air are as strong confirmation as proofs of Holy Writ, he could not have known the susceptibilities and capacities in that line of the modern politician. To him nothing important can happen without his at once interpreting it as a mysterious “deal” “plot.” 'The more improbable the thing is, the surer he is that he has found the truth at the | bottom of the well.
