The Power of the State.

The Chicago Herald dem. in an
article on Col. Vilas's speech says
Speaking AS an alleged Democrat in
the metropolis of Wisconsin on Tues
day evening, Col Villas said: IF the
state can say what a private school
shall teach it can also say what it
shall not teach OF course it can.
Thest of Illinois said that private
schools in this city should not teach
anarchy, and they were broken up.
The United States of America say
that private schools in Utah shall
not teach polygamy, and they are
broken up. The state of Wisconsin
can and should say that private
schools shall not teach anything that
is contrary to law. contrary to good
morals Or contrary to republican
form of government. To assume that
a sovereign state has no such power,
and to speak of the manifestation of
such power as an unheard-of thing,
rs to argue that there is power with

schools and these people who put
their hands in conscientious pocket
1t ought to be IN the state treasury-we
are told that these people and these
schools are d just object to attack. y
Col. Vilas recent speech.
Thus we have it in SO many words
that "Peck and all the schools" means
a division Of the school fund with the
parochial schools. Col. Villas advo-
Gates boldly the support of the paro-
chial schools by the money collected
from the taxpayers of the state. Here
is where the anti-Bennett law senti-
ment is drifting, and how many are
there now enlisted on the anthem
nett law side that would not shrink
in dismay from the advocacy of a
principle that would finally lead to
the division of the school fund among
the public and parochial schools.

at can not be said with too much
emphasis that the American state,
subject only to it's own constitution
and the constitution of the United
States, is absolutely a sovereign.
There is no need of an emperor Or a
king or standing army to complete
that sovereignty. 1t is lodged il the
people and the people are the state.
The power is theirs without qualifi-
cation. They have the right to say
that there shall be education in the
English language and they also have
the right to determine what is educa-
ton. The Herald has never favored
the employment of theextraordinary
powers of a state except in cases Of
dire necessity, but the assumption
that a state has no such power is toe
absurd for argument"

THE shoe manufacturers of the
country have decided to advance
shoes from 20 cents to SO cents per
pair. The wearers of shoes ought to
give them a further advance in the
direction of the builders of Chinese
walls and monopolies.- Gazette.
This is mere clap-trap, and nobody
should be deceived by it. There may
or may not be reasons for an advance
in the price of boots and shoes, buteeif
there are, they are entirely outside
the Mckinley tariff bill All other
things being equal, prices of foot gear
should be lower, for the new tariff re-
duces the duties on some articles used
by the shoe trade and increases none.
Sole leather, for instance, pays 10 per
cent. duty now against l5 per cent.
under the old law, reduction of 33h
per cent, and the duty on imported
boots and shoes is reduced one-sixth:
SO The Gazette's statement is absurd.
That INSCRIPTIONS dealers are try
ing to force up prices and take adj
vantage wrongfully of their custom
ers, under cover of the new tariff law,
is true to certain extent. We have
In mind a merchant here who under

duty ON tea, he had nothing to say
by way Of explanation, and lost his
customer. The fact is the opposition
papers are grossly nisrepresenting the
new law and trying to make political
capital by lying. No more beneficial
tariff measure was ever framed by
congress, giving the people all the
benefits the Mills bill would have
done, and at the same time protect
ing the agricultural and manufacture
ing interests of the country, which
the Mills bill did not do. Upon this
point Mr.. Mckinley we'll says:
In spite of what has been said to
the contrary, the bill gives to the peo-
pie freer trade than any tariff legisla-
ton that has been put upon our stat
ute books in more than a century Of
our existence. During the first thirty
years of our history nearly every ar
ticle was made dutiable. In 1924
less than 8 per cent. of our imports
was free; in 1888 only l 5 per cent. OF
our imported goods was free; in 1912
only 81 per cent. was free; in 1916,
the great revenue tariff year, only IL
per cent; in 1857 only Is per cent.
From 1878 down to 1888, 80 per
cent. only was free. and in 1889 SO
per cent. was free. This bill makes
about one-half of them absolutely
free to thepeople. The Mills bill, that
famous Democratic tariff bill, only
made free in all about At per cent of
our importations. Under the new
law onehalf of our importations, or
nearly so, are made free.
If merchants will only lower prices
to correspond with the reduction or
removal of tariff duties, as the case
may be, the public will have no cause
to complain if they find an occasional
advance which is legitimate. But the
present bowling on the part of Demo
cratic orators and newspapers, that
the price of everything is to be ad-
vanced and nothing made lower, is
humbug of the first water

headed: "Vote Against George w.

who put principle above party. We

The Herald denies that there is a
1t is not democratic to belittle the
proper power and dignity of the state.
1t is not democratic to set races and
creeds by the ears in the hope of gain
ing few offices. 1t is not democratic
to array ones self on the side of the
enemies of the public schools. 1t is
not democratic to resist the nation
alization of the people who come to
these shores. 1t is not democratic to
aid and abet pompous foreign bosses
who for selfish reasons strive to es-
tablish colonies in this country that
will be ignorant of its language, it's
laws. it's government, It's literature
and it's history, and, therefore, the
more amenable to bossism. The
Democratic party has no such creed
1t is American. 1t is periodically
American. No man can be a good
Democrat who is not a good citizen,
and no man can bea good citizen who
is not an American through and
through, owing no allegiance to any
foreign power and drawingno inspira-
ton from bosses either racial or &C.
clessiastical who strive to abridge the
liberties here conferred upon him.
The Democrat who can be used as
these wretched Milwaukee aliens hope
to use him is not q proper successor
to those heroic Democrats of old who
made this country a fit habitation
for freemen.
Mr.. Peck was not nominated as
Democrat, but as a demagogue He
never would have been thought of as
a Democrat. He has never expressed
a Democratic sentiment in his life.
The Herald is not sure that he ever
was a Democrat. 1t knows that he
is not a Democrat now. Hewa taken
up as the hope of the fereign-inspired
bosses in Milwaukee and was elected
mayor by the aid of the driven for
eign vote in that town. His guberna-
torial candidacy followed naturally,
emphasizing a degrading surrender by
the party at large of rything that
a true Democrat holds dear. Time
servers and towards triumphed over
men of conviction and honor.
Since Mr.. Peck is the head and front
of the new foreignism; since he has no
other claims upon the people; since
his election will not be heralded as
Democratic victory, but as victory
against the public school system, and
since the enemies of that school ays-
tenn everywhere would rejoice in his
triumph and mourn over his defeat,
on him the wrath of the betrayed
Democracy should fall
