In explaining the means by which that is to be accomplished President Alderman of Tulane University sard: “It should be clearly usi- derstood that our great purpose is to arouse an irre- sistible public opinion for the establishment and | maintenance of a system of schools adequate for the needs of a free people. The first achievement to this public opinion will be the appropriation of sufficient money for such schools. The money may be obtained by State appropriation, by local taxation and com- munity effort, and by appropriation of unexpended balances by parish and county boards. The next achievement will be the consolidation of weak schools into strong central schools and the hauling of children to these central schools.” T ——— Dreyius has announced that he would like to have another trial. If this much discussed man has no consideration for himself he should be taught to feel some sympathy for the feelings of the rest of us. Dreyfus and his case be‘ong to ancient history. Perhaps that Carter Harrison boom for the Presi- dency is only a scheme to distract public attention while the fourth-time Mayor fixes his wires for a fifth term. There is no reason why he should not try to break the old man’s record.

The cen- tennial of the making of the treaty of purchase with Bonaparte was selected as the occasion of the cere- mony, and the great addresses were made by two of | Jefferson’s successors in the Presidency, President | Roosevelt and ex-President Cleveland, each of whom spoke like a philosopher and statesman. 5 President Roosevelt stated forcibly the essentials in the character of a people which make for liberty and order in this ascription to the pionears of the fifteen millions who now inhabit and administer the terri~ | tory ceded a hundred years ago: “The people of these | States have shown themsclves mighty in war with | their fellow-man and mighty in strength to tame the - rugged wilderness.

The Call pomted out, it ‘is pfobable ‘that Russia did intend dqing just what she now disavows. The story comes from Peking-that Plancon, the Rus- sian :Charge, admitted as muéh to~the ofher foreign Ministers on the very- day the demfl was lssued at St. Petersburg. Russia has now advised Gre}t Britain that shh does not intend to vary from her p‘revmus assurances con- cerning the evacuation of Manchuria, so that it is dif- ficult to see how that act can be much further delayed. One interesting incident of the diplomatic flurry is the prompt action _and firm. stand, against ‘Russia taken by Japan. That insular empire feels vwndly her position among the powers of the world and seems’ determined to live up to her responsibility. There is no doubt that she would undertake to fight Russia alone if she conceived that the purposes of that power in any way threatened her national existence and in- |. dependence. As events in the East-are moving: now, Jafan will become the leader of all Asia that is not yet taken in by the Western nations. i toward €hina is especially interesting, for she is dmnfi all in her power to induce that empire to move for- ward, to train and conserve its strength and face a greater destiny than is possible if it remain passive and inert. The passing of this last crisis is complimentary to our Government and to the diplomacy of Secretary Hay. Europe was distinctly indifferent to the pub- lished designs of Russia. Of course, if those designs had materialized it would have meant the dismember- ment of China, and the indifferent nations of Europe would soon have scrambled and fought for their share of the spoils. So, after all, only the United States and Japan remained to make effective protest. The world will feel easier when Russian evacuation of Manchuria is completed, and it is to be hoped that no new occasion will ever arise for the appearance of a western army i China. e — The’ number of distinguished Missourians visiting foreign parts this year is unusually large, and it is probable. that many pf them will not return in time for the.fair;: asta consequence the desire of’ the State to makc the ‘best, exposition o record of convlued state:p\cn 15 hkel—y to be disapp: 2 dis- in this niversity, who puts o “ the establishnient o i <|,u|hr way sinntry the professor & iphasize: the “hational- ¢ for.bitt artean raguncm \Ian Fhe mmum- <hhuH nghsh - !anguage i forward niay' é of lhc sdis- MJI ))e There'is'a reporb thatt 4‘he mierger magnaxes.a( hy P itroads ‘will .not’appeal: frof;the. decision | f ‘the .
