The spirit of the New Bouth was well reflected In the recent thirteenth annual conference on edycation held st Little Rock. While Robert C. Ogden, as president, and a few other northern men, are active in promoting the work of the Southern Education board, the south has practically claimed the movement as its own and fs monopolizing Its development. Under the impetus of this organization the south has systematized its educa- tion until it partakes much of thp nature of a campaign. Through Its instrumentality the south is address- ing itself to its real problems with a definiteness of purpose and a sober- ness of zeal that are ylelding the best results in eity and country alike. Those back of this propaganda recognize first the fact that the south is pre-eminently an agricultural coun- try and that it has acquired all the industrialism it possesses only because and by virtue of its agricultural re- sources. Therefore this educational eampaign proposes at the outset to bring to the sofl the trained minds of the young men, who may work out the destiny of the south as nature invites, And for the women it offers instruction in the plain duties of home life, thus setting in order elements for under any other system. The Southern Education board does not ignore the proper place of the classical course, but it gives greater emphasis just now to the need for agricultural colleges, where young men, and women, too, may learn how to handle the greatest resources at their command, the resources of the farm; how to till so as to produce the best crop, the relative merits of the crop and soll and the svlende of making two blades grow where one grew before. Backed by the best men in all walks of the south, this effort is belleved. to have derived fresh inspiration, strange- ly enough, from the remarkable ex- ample of Booker Washington, who has led the people of his own race In Dixie back to the soll for a new start in life.

The pioture of the Indian as & cigar Bcience of Good Roa Good roads may not, in the strictest sense of the word, be classed among the modern innovations, for Rome had its Applan Way and its paved road skirting the Circus Maximus, and some of the great thofoughfares of Ca day still remain to remind us that we are borrowers of the past. But gradu- ally In the United States people are coming to build better roads and the movement has acquired, a foothold which promises substantial progress from now on. Rapid transit, the automobile, the increase in traffic and population are all factors in promoting the good roads ¢ause. “People are no foffger content to waste time and energy and money on tumbersome highways when that same (ime and energy and monay may be saved by having modern thorough- fares. It has been a matter of educa- tion, this good roads movement, and it has reached the stage of develop- ment where new forces are being en- listed. In Texas the State Agricultural and Mechanical college has created a chalr of good roads and Texas is not far in advance of some other states, for after all, its action is but indica- tive of what others are doubtless lead- ing up to. The good rodds movement is becom- ing a tremendous factor in bringing tcgether the country. and the eity, in identifying and unifying the interests of both.” Good roads lessen distance and reduce time, bringing the urban life into close contact with the subur- ban, an object not only to be desired, but actually to be accomplished if we are to' make the most of our social and commercial advantages for a strong, united people. Make the Indian a Man First. Friends of the Indlan seem to be reaching the conclusion that the red man has been fondled too much government ward. Any other theory at this stage of history would obstruct further aboriginal advancement. If the Indian is ready for the enlarged privileges of citizenship he is ready to know that before he is an Indlan he is a man, When Fraocis E. Leupp was Indian commissioner, he used to say that it was a mistake to regard the Indian as |a white. man in red skin. But even Mr. Leupp was wary of pressing the significance of this trutsm upon the Indian’s attention. In all his admin- istration he drifted steadlly away from the . false dootrine that the way to help one who is down is to pity him. Nobody - expects -the young Indian to put off his| feathers and paint and fit into college clothes without some dis- comfiture, nor because he holds a Has- kell or Carlisle diploma to startle the world with his erudition. But what is expected Is that he shall recognize the import of being educated or the significance of graduating from col- lege. Unless the school has taught him this it has failed in its mission, Outside the province of governmen. tal ald private individuals have a duty toward the Indian. That is to im- press him with the realization that he ie no longer an object of curiosity, but & man with serious responsibilities. character than that which widens their privileges of citizenship. Omaha on the Business Map. The trend of modern industry is to do business on a big scale through or- ganization reaching out, if not over the entire country, at least over a large territory. In nearly every line of trade success in business, whether conducted by one centralized coneern or by many, de- pends upon the volume of transactions, out to all markets. The big Industrial corporations have the whole country districted with cen- tral sales agencles and special rep- resentafives at the main distributing points, and the number of such branches, or depots, is constantly in- creasing. One of the best signs of Omaha’s in- dustrial progrees is the increasing recognition which this eity is receiving from the big corporations that do busi- Omaha a business center which they cannot afford to negleet. While we must econtinue ready at all times to encourage independent enter- prise, at the same time Omah grow- ing importance on the business map as & location for branch houses and rep- resentation headquarters is more than gratifying, and here, too, as is so often the case, the more we have, the greater s the attraction for others to come. We believe the day is not far distant when Omaha will be on the branch- office list of practically all the great industrial corporations that do busi- ness in this section ¢ Ventilate the Schools. The open alr school has been tried in Boston for years with success and in Chicago on a small scale and now Cleveland and New York are taking it up. The plan is along the same general line of other innovations that recognize the value of fresh air to the weak lung or delicate body and it has much to commend it, but whether it 18 necessary as a last resort is still open to some doubt. The question arises here, has everything been done to make the school room sanitary? In many cases the answer must be in the negative. Too little regard for the health of the child has been apparent in the erection of the average school building, though it-is not so much the case in the structures that are going up today. The importance of correct ventilation has become so generally and volume s attained by sproading ness throughout the country, and find |' recognized that school authoritiss are looking out for it more in' the build- ings where the men and women of to- morrow are being educated. teachers who fully recognize this value of fresh alr and who will look out for the bodily health as well as' the mental development of the child en- trusted to thelr care so large a part of the time during its growing period, the most critical stage of its life. The ordinary requirements of school rou- tine are severe enough on childhood without denying plenty of fresh air to breathe, The State Rallway commission has appointed ex-County Commissioner Ure to make the valuation of Omaha terminal property for incorporation into the physical valuation of all the railroads in Nebraska. An indepen- dent appraisement of the railway ter- minals here should give us data to be used as a check against the assessment put on this property by the county as- sessor and State Board of Bqualiza- tion for the terminal tax, and every- one will concede that Mr. Ure is com- petent to do a good job. After making such a great noise about its 5 per cent occupation tax én the franchised corporations, it is a grievous spectacle to see Linecoln back- ing up and practically exempting its traction company from taxation by re- ducing its tax to ony 1 per cent. If o | this had happened in Omaha we would hear all kinds of talk about undue in- flugnce and graft. But saintly Lin- coln can make the street car company such a handsome present without even @ complaint from the poor taxpayers who foot the bill. ———— ‘Writing in the Commoner Mr. Bryan tells about attending a fashionable charity entertainment in Peru, where the audience could be easily mistaken for an audience in New York or Chi- cago, and adds: This is Lima; but In the mountains the barc-footed Indian trudges along the trall bearing his back-vending burden and sup- pressing hunger with & cocoa leaf, while the untamed savage still roams through the forests of the Montana section.

Philadelphia Press It was a notable colncidence that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr, Bryan should both on the same day have been distinguished by having streets named fn their honor. Mr. Roosevelt was made an “honorary citizen” of Porto Maurizio, on the Itallan frontier, and the new Onbre drive, the pride of the town, was thereafter christened ‘‘Roosevelt boulevard.” Mr! Bryan, atter one of his magnetic discourses at Hatlllo, Porto Rico, not only had a street named after him, but was further perpstuated in the public memory by the installation of a Bryan school of citigenship in an institute of which he laid the wornerstone.

TIME TO FORGET. Pertinent Suggestions for Republican Factions in Congre New ¥ork.Tribune. « A .majority of 'the |house of represen- tatives may have been actusted more by petty malevolence than by, any burning passion for economy in denying the speaker the use of an automobile at publie expense. The country will be disposed to think that peaker has beeri withheld because of dis- satisfaction with' the policies pursued by the present Incufabent. Mr. Cannon says that personally he does not care In the least whether ‘congress supplies him with an ‘automoblle of 'not, and that he has never wanted sué¢h a perquisite provided. What hurts him is that the house should seem to show & disposition to expose him te pelty annoyances. The thought of belng baited to make & holiday for the galleries fills him with pardonable irritation and leads him to express his feelings at times more plainly than political discretion war- rants. To appear to be a poor loses puts & politician at & marked disadvantage, and Mr. Cannon has undoubtedly suffered in public esteem because of the openness with which he has displayed his chagrin over the termination of his absolutism. He and some of his closest associates have failed to catch the real significance of the revo- lution of last month. They think that somehow party ‘authority was impaired and flouted, when merely a change has been made to the method by which party thority 1s exercised. Many representativi who have grown up under the old order and have looked to it for recognition in ‘he aistribution of power, influence and per- quisites felt, no doubt, that the capitol rocked on its foundation and the Goddess of Liberty tottered when some of the spesker's powers were rudely cut away. But thess uneasy men were inter- preting their own fears rather than those of the public. The voters do not care very much after what model the house of repre- sentatives governs itself. They want re- sults, like the redemption by the party in power of its pledges to the people. They #rew weary of ‘Cannonism' because it seemed that oneman power' stood In the way of free and intelligent party action and a vigorous gffort to eoact progressive legislation. They have no spectal grudge against Mr, Cannon personally, but they gladly put the system which he represented behind them, and they rightly deprecate now a disposition on his part or on part of his friends to fight over old batties and revive old grievances. The Insurgents In the house of represen- tatives have, on the whole, shown a more rational spirit than Mr. Capnon and his tollowers. They have dismissed the rules contest as settled for the ime dnd have goue to work to accomplish the legislative tasks before the party In congress.

The democratic party Is getting on its feet again. The country shows a disposi- tion to forget the democratic blunders of the past in an earnest desirs to rebuke the republican party for its broken promises, its reactionary leadership and its alllance with privilege, plutocracy and high pro- tection. In states like New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Iilinols, Minnesota and kansas the republiean organization is shot to pleces. In congress the fight between regular and insurgent is more bitter than the fight between republican and demo- crat. The shadow of the Big Stick hangs over the republican party, and the Return- From-Elba club is helding nightly m: ings. There is & chance of electing a dem- ooratio house of representatives in the fall, of Increasing the number of democrats in the United States senate and of electing democratic governors in various states now republican, including New York. For the first time in years republican politicians are seriously considering the possibility 'of & democratio president. But along comes Mr. Bryan with the cross of gold, the crown of thorns and the heaven-born ratio to remind the country of 189 and 150 In his Jefferson day letter he melzes upon one of Mr. Taft's excuses a5 vindicating the Chicago platform and all the 16-to-1 folly of two disastrous defeats: “But there Is another item of news which has just come to my attention. President Taft in his Lincoln speech at New York on February 12, attributes present high prices mainly to the Increase in the production of €old and the consequent enlargement of the volume of money. Thix unexpected indorse- ment of our party's proposition in 188, the Tombs when we demanded more money as the only remedy for falling prices, is very gratitying. How valuable that admission would have been to us If it had boen made during the campaign of that year, when the republican leaders were denying that the volume of money had any influence on prices and asserting that it 4id not mat- ter whether we had much money or little, provided it was all good! “We may now consider the quantitative theory of money established beyond dis- pute, and proceed to the consideration of other questions.” Thus Mr. Bryan indorses Mr. Taft's de- fense and helps him to acquit the republi- can party of all responsibility for the in- creased cost of llving. If the advance of prices is dus to the greator volume of money, then it is clear that the tariff is not to blame and that the trusts have been wrongly mccused. It makes little differ- ence to the consumer whether the Dinglay schedules were revised down or up, for the production of glod is not affected by the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Mr. Bryan says in effect that the in- creased production of gold has resulted in the very economio condition that he was trylng to bring about by means of free siiver, and that the inoreased cost of living therefore vindicates the wisdom of the democratio party in 18%. If this be true the higher cost of living ought to be ac- cepted as & great democratic principle, An inspiring way of opening an opposi- tion campaign! A joyful method of ap- pealing to the confidence of the country! A convineing scheme for making the voters belleve that the democratic party is to be trusted and the republican party is not! Mr. Bryan deserves a place in Mr. Taft's cabinet. He could chase republicans back into the party faster than Mr. Wickersham could read them out. Washington Life —_— Some Interesting FPhases and Conditions Observed &t the Natlea's OCapital The death of Assoclate Justice Brewer and the continued illness of Assoclas Justice Moody, reducing the supreme court to a working ferce of seven mem- bers, draws national attention to the phy- slcal condition of the elders of the court, Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Jus- tice Harlan, and their yeunger associates. The Washington correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle writes on this poin “Chief Justice Fuller and Associa Justice Harlan are the most venmerable looking members of the supreme court. Bach is 77 years of age. The chlef jus- tice, while seated in the bench, shows no more signs of the passing years than he 414 ten years ago. Only when he walks are you struck by the fact that time is enexorable in its exactions. The chief Justice's step is slow and feeble. ustice Harlan has declined physically during the last year in a way to glve serfous alarm to his friends. Especially has he lost in weight. He is fifty to sixty pounds Ilighter fhan he was twelve months ago. His cheek bones are high and his face haggard, while his great shoulders aro stooped and his figure has taken on a gaunt appearance. His tone and ‘manner show no loss of mental vigor. Baldyin as postmistress at Canton, Miss, Mrs. Baldwin's term is soon to expire, but there s every probabllity that she will be reappointed. Senator Penrose, Quay's successor as boss In Pennsylvania, will see to that. Before Quay died he r quested Penrose to look after Mrs. Bald- win's interests. Penrose regards the re- Quest as a legacy left to him by his former colleague. Quay started In life as a country school teacher in Madlson county, Mississippl. He was & boarder in the home of Mrs. Griffin, mother of Mrs. Baldwin . This was before the war. He was taken 1ll of typhold fever and for al weeks was near death. Mre, Grifin, with the assistance of her daughter, nursed him through his sickness, Afterwards Quay returned to Pennsylvania, ¢ tho 0 {ppi. The war came on and Mrs. Griffin's prop- erty was destroyed to some extent, and she and her family suffered as did many of the families in the south in those days. In er years Benator Quay learned of the difficulties that had overtaken his friends. He went to General Waithall, then senator from Mississippl, and said that he would like to do something for Mrs. Baldwin, the daughter. “It you fellows will let me alone, ‘‘We certainly will let you alone,” re- plied the general. He knew that otherwise the appointment would g0 to a republican. ‘‘You have her appeinted and we will see that she is confirmed.” “Justice White carries his burden of years gracefully; e is twelve years the Junior of the chlef justice.

Justice Lurton, aged 66, in a robust appearing man, who looks as though he could still stand a great amount of hard werk."” Ordinarily the front row of seats in the United State senate are the most desir- able In the senate chamber, particularly during debate on an important plece of legislation, s the Washington Time: Senator Heyburn of Idaho arises and launches off into a speech of consider- able length. nator- Heyburn is very large, the largest man in the senate, in fact. He likes plenty of room when he addresses himself to welghty affairs of state and he alwavs it. The senator him- selt is one of those favored with & meat in the front rew. When he begins his speech he invariably stands at his desk for a few moments. His next move 1s to roll his chair aside in order that he may turn easily and direct his remarks to senators at his rear. His chair goes bumping into the chalr of the menator sitting next to him. The senator unconscloudly pushes first one chair and then anether until he has them rolling hither and yon. Senators in the front row begin to gut restive when they ses & big plece of mahogany furniture rolling in their direction and pretty soon they move to safer quarters. Senator Heyburn, livious of the departing senators, but realizing that there are more empty chairs to be moved, keeps on moving them, After he is well into his speech he has & clear track, all of the front row chairs are vacant and he parados | back and forth, stopping now and then to pound the desk of & senator in the ond rew by wey of emphasis. Senator Heyburn, by the way, dis- likes the word insurgent. He can hammer away at a proposition brought out by & republican committes @8 hard as ever it was hammered by Senstor Dolliver, Cum- mins, or La Follette, but he does not want his eriticiems labeled insurgency. His protests againat provisions of certain bills are in the way of enlightenment and if the senate refuses to be enlightened, all well and good, he votes for the bill as the republican majority wants him to vote for it. i The difference in the personality at the Tatt boys and the Roosevelt boys is quite as marked as Is the gap between the methods of their distinguished par- ents. When the Roosevelt boys were home everybody knew it. They made the| great corridors of the White House re- sound from attic to basement with noisy demonstrations.

Any of the bright, hustling page boys of the semmme will undertake to fili an autograph album for you for this amount. Ten years ago such a collection of names would cost $10.

The venture started with 40 transferred customers. The bank caters to women of limited means, as well as for women of property. Tt appears that the $120.000 given anony- mously to the Academy of Sclences for the promotion of the study of the Hungarian language In other countries ocame from the Count and Countess Szechenyl, the pronunciation of whose name could prob- ably not be imparted to the world at large for ten times the money Bequests amounting to $140,600 to f] s and institutions In Pittafield and "Gfeat Barrington and a gift of nearly $00,000 to the latter town for the establishment and maintenance of a hospital there are con- tained in the will of Mrs. Mary A.

A New York policeman welghing 300 pounds, who was bounced for being “too stout,” Is again holding down the job, a cansiderate court having found the acousa- tion “too thin” to hold him. Among “the finest,” chestiness below the belt helps to balance the upper part. I8 IT WORTH WHILE?! Example of n Penurfous Saver Who Left a Million, New York World, An old confidential clerk in a banking house has just died, leaving an estate of between 12000000 and $3,000000, all saved out of his wages and acquired by invest- ment. Far from being a difficult feat, this 18 rather easy. cles such a career can repeat jt. Suppose an office boy of 16 has in two years saved by pinching self-dental $100. He can loan it at legal interest on good personal security or Invest it to yield & per cent. In the former case if the yield 18 kept reinvested it will grow to §3,200 by the time he 1s 76; In the latter case to $2,100. But the boy keeps on saving. His wages are raised from time to time, and as his second, third and succeeding $100 come more quickly, each in turn is set on its way to ETOW into thousands. At 35 he has a salary of perhaps.§2,600 a year and saves $1,800 of It or more. The eavings of that single year, kept invested at legal intarest, will ETOW to $20,00 in forty years. But elready he has many other dollars et work for him—or rather for his unloving heirs. As his salary grows he saves and invests more, and still more. Probably he will see froquent chances of profftable usury. But he will never take a risk. He s a faithful and trutworthy though not bril- liant employe. He does not become dis- sipated nor gluttonous and so has no use for doctors. His employers appreciate him and he colns their appreciation into more living, growing gold Of course he never marries. He spends nothing on enjoyment or self-culture, In the end he dies a lonely death, and from the famous will case that follows the law- yers profit mightily. There are probably a few boys In New York today who will do this very thing. It is In them to do it But is it worth while?
