As he put it to the Maine Teachers’ Association: What is to be done with the teachers who devote their lives to instruction at low salarica compared with the coat of living and then reach the time when they must quit? We muat de- vise some scheme in order that there may be justice to a pro- Jeasion that I regard as one of the highcat and most important. We should see to it that teachers who have served should not be thrown out with nothing to live on when they have passed their stage of waefulnesi The subject is not a new one to New York. If President Taft, however, means that the pensioning of teachers should be extended to cover the whole country and even conceivably become a duty of the national government, the question takes on a deeper significance. Granted the high importance and dignity of the school teachers’ calling. Granted the great debt the nation owes them. Still— might it not be better to pay them adequate salaries in the first place than to set up an elaborate pension system with its inevitable attrac- tions and encouragements for incompetents and laggards?

Are not pensions, on the other hand, full of danger for the standards of 80 broad a pro- fession ? Suppose our Government, like the governments of heavily taxed Furopean countries, were to assume an ever-growing burden of pen- sion responsibilities? Who is to pay? The load must fall upon some one. Surely, even in our free land, the man at:the bottom is already burdened enough. The bushel of potatoes the farmer wrests from the soil, the coat the worker fashions with his hands, bring con- stantly less and lesa return to their producers, As the potatoes and the coat go their way to market they gather with bewildering swift- ness their double, triple, quadruple burden which settles heavily upon their consumers—among whom somewhere are the farmer and the coat-maker, forced to bear their share. Profits to the retail man, profits to the wholesale man, profits to the railroad, profits to the trust, make of the cost of living a monstrous‘load ever broadening at the top, ever narrowing at the bottom to concentrate its pressure the more certainly upon the shoulders of the man beneath, Shall we ple on government pensions and largess as well? The pension idea is eternally fascinating. Well meaning people afe constantly trying to persuade us how easy it is to cure all social ills by tearing thatch from the cottage of our right hand neighbor to mend the roof of the man on our left. The desire to do good often carries with it a singular blindness as to where or how justly the expense may fall. Moreover, we learn by bitter and disillusioning experience that robbing Peter to comfort Paul is not only unjust to Peter but in the long run exceedingly bad for Paul. The political perils of placing heavy pefsion and patronage power in the hands of changing administrations, thereby encouraging parties to recklessly outbid each other for favor, are only too obvious, The economic weakness, veiling itself in beneficence and good intent, is more subtle. ‘ Let us do all we can for our school-teachers and for all other workers. But let it-take the form of securing to them free, open careers, fair salaries that expand or contract in exact ratio to their own efforts, and the certainty only that work and saving and self- Teepect shall not be denied their just rewards, —_——-4-—_____ The young heiress who must marry only a man approved by five trustees, and then only provided he is not the son of some- Dody her grandmother disliked, may be confidently expected to 0 something desperate. 3 eH WHO LOVES A LAWYER? HE lawyers are catching it again. The Bull Moose candidate for Governor of New York scornfully explains why they will have none of him. “Lawyers,” he declares, “if they remain too long in practice and have too rich clients lose vision. They are so loyal to their big corporation clients that they cannot see beyond them.” Even a candidate on the stump, supposed to love everybody on principle, can’t resist a whack at members of his own profession, What is the matter with these gentlemen of the bar?. Unless they find some way to make themselves popular they will presently have to flock by themselves. The doctor and the minister are still wel- come to supper any time. But everybody fecls fidgety when there's | a lawyer on the premises. Mr. Straus says the trouble with lawyers that they work too long for rich people. If this is so, it puts all hope of reform a long way off.
