dull and oft repeated symposium Of vaga-
ries Since 1880 Senator Blair has been
affecting the Senate and the country
with this tiresome travesty. Since that
time the educational facilities all
over the country have been increased to
a marvellous extent and the expenditures
in the group of Southern states, to
which the bill is chiefly directed, have
increased nearly FIVE hundred per cent
The condition which the bill was formu-
lated and introduced to meet and correct
does not exist now. The conditions have
changed Numerically. The Southern
states are spending relatively more money
and educational advantages are increas-

Northern states. The bill is purely

where it is stirred up in the interest Of
some candidate for Office. There is no
question before the party. There is
nothing whatever to dissent about except
candidates for Office. Now the candidates
for Office are all right but it must be re-
membered that they are just a shade or
two selfish. They are all good and true
Democrats, but they are also offiee-seek.

allow their ambition to OBTAIN Office
to outweigh their love for

own personality. OF course it is proper
ambition to strive to win the honors OF
the most glorious party and the Oldest
party in the United States OF course
We honor the man who strives TO serve
the party Of jefferson and the eterna
principles Of justice and equality which
that great statesman enunciated. But
