The Most Ridiculous Educational Propo

Nothing Is quite so ridiculous as the
proposition to endow chair OF protec-

any standpoint whatever. Political,
economy, if taught at all, shou be
taught with some regard for scientific
truth, as is shown when geology o.
biology is explained to the students
There can not he two theories Of any
science. directly antagonistic and
equally true. Protection Is not 0
science, at best it is a makephift. 6

charlatanism in application. To en-

simply to set up the favorite device oil

latest conclusions of scientific investi.

SENATORS IN TOWN.
They visit the Soldiers Home tn BETTER
Know Its Needs.


It has been published that it was
likely that the State Senate would re-
duce the appropriation made by the
bill as il passed the House. IL Is now
quite possible that the Appropriation
will be increased rather than reduced.
Last evening Senators Chapman, Ran
ney, TavlOr and Den Herder, of the
Committee on Finance and ApprOpria-
tiOns, accompanied also by Senators l..
G. Palmer, Rentz and Mines
and Wesselius came To this city,
arriving here at p. m.
They proceeded to the Soldiers Home
for the purpose of informing them
selves more definitely as to the needs
of the institution.
The bill as passed by the House pro-
vided for an appropriation of S25, 900
for barn, \, 600 for grading and other
similar improvements, $4,000 for a
dOrnntOry, $50, 900 for a hospital, S125
for root cellar and $40 for a receiving
vault.
Conversation with Senator Chapman,
Chairman of the committee, after re-
turning from the Home, gave the i'm
preston that he was convinced that
the Home needed all that had
been asked for it, and
the Senator voluntarily suggested that
it would be well To add an apprOpria-
tion OF $4,000 for the purpose of estab-
lishing an electric light plant there. As
Senator Chapman Is the gentleman who
was most conservative about the amount
