Mexico Letter In Globe Democrat.

MEXICO Letter IN GioOe-Democrat.
Education Is q subject upon which Pres.
ident Diaz likes to talk. Congress- at his
suggestion, has enacted strong, COM
pulsory educational law. The president
does not propose to relax his efforts in
this direction until there Is a school in
every hamlet Of thirty families within the
boundaries Of the republic.
II consider It," he said, "of the first i'm
portance that the ignorant should be edu-
Gated. 1t is my desire that the chiiuren of
this generation in Mexico shall acquire the
knowledge which the children of other na-
tions are given. 1t Is the heritage hope
to leave behind me, that the children Of
Mexico shall be able to talk with Ameri-
cans, either in the English or Spanish
language, and to say, Thank God that
our late president has educated US, and
that We can converse and can transact
our business in either language"
In the course Of the conversation refer
ence was made to the fact that the presi-
dent had sent his son, POrfirio Diaz jr.,
to the United States to attend school.
"Why did you do that, Mr.. President?
Was II because the schools of Mexico were
not equal to those in the states?" he was
asked.
"No," replied General Diaz; I'VE have
schools here that are equal to those in
the states I sent my son to the United
States to learn the habits and customs of
the American people, and, at the same
time, to learn that time is money, and not
idleness. That Is the motto ofthe Amer
lean people. I wanted him impressed

sources of Discomfort.

There is a paper by T.. L. Godkin in
the October Scribner's which contains
some thoughts of timely interest. Its
subject Is American millionalres. and
their foolish ways of spending money.
Some of Mr.. Godkin's criticisms upon
the social aspects of our Yankee plu-
tocracy do not especially concern the
majority of us. He objects. for in
stance, to the building of palatial
homes for the reason that great houses
ought to be found only in the centers
OF large landed estates, which are out
of the question in the United States;
and also because when built 1t is un-
der present conditions practically inn
possible to fill them with guests worthy
of cultured PERSONS interest. These
objections may or may not be true; one
doesn't care much whether they are
or not To the rank and file it makes
small difference.
But q third objection presented in
the paper to the erection of great dwell
lings has a more general pertinency.
"If there be-" Mr.. Godkin writes, what
is called a note in American pOlty,
it is equality of conditions, that there
should neither be an immoderate dis
play of wealth nor Of poverty, that no
man should be raised SO far above the
generality in outward seeming as to
excite either envy, hatred. or malice"
And to build "palatial abodes" is to
tiaunt. says Mr. Godkin. ''in the faces
of the poor and the unsuccessful and
greedy the most conspicuous possible
evidence that the owner not only has
enormous amounts Of money, but does
not know what to do with it,"
1t is not probable that the objection
thus voiced will be effective in deter
ring the newly rich from ostentatious
manifestations of their opulence,
either in the form Of imposing homes
or in other and equally glaring exhi-
bitions of wealth. There is no way by
which this class can be reached save
through an appeal to their own sense
of propriety, which in many cases Is
none too exalted or refined. But it is
undeniable that IL the politics Of the
near future in this country are to be
kept comparatively free from the vio-
lent class antagonsms and aggravated
phases of social discomfort which OBJ
tain already in older civilizations there
must be forbearance on the part of the
rich no less than on the part of the
moor.

If the city is honest in its desire to
fulfill it's contract with the Turnpike
company relative to the repair of the
turnpike within city limits, we do not
see how it can consistently refuse the
company's latest offer to do the re-
quisite work at once and wait until
next year for repayment. 1t has been
contended all along that the city was
anxious to live un to the letter of its
agreement. but was temporarily pre-
vented by lack of available funds. Here.

will improve, the same and end the

The County Tiskct,

The Wilkes-B Barre Record expresses
curiosity to know why so little is be-
ing said in the local Republican press
concerning the congressional candidacy
of Mr.. Connell. The reason for that
ought not to seem obscure to our con-
temporary. AS was remarked by The
Tribune at the beginning Of the present
congressional canvass, this Is so pre-
emnently a contest between opposing
principles of government that purely
personal considerations necessarily oc-
cupy minor place. 1t Is, we think,
generally conceded that NJ. Connell is
individually well qualified to represent
at Washington the principles for which
the Republican party is this year con-
tending His character business stand
ing and personal qualities are prob
ably known to every intelligent voter
in the county. This being true 1t Is
scarcely necessary for the Republican
press to turn aside from its discussion
of the pending issues to enter into
personal eulogy Of the candidate. His
record and achievements speak their
own tributes ard leave little to be
added
When we come down the list to the
candidates for county offices, however,
personal considerations naturally and
properly play a larger part. The COM
misSioners and auditors Of the county,
as has already been remarked, are
practically trustees for the taxpayers.
They are the responsible managers of a
business the cash receipts and dis
lusements of which amount each year
IL nearly 100000. When number of
men form a company to operate an in
dustral plant Or conduct a CONNER
cia enterprise, they naturally look for
managers Of experience and good per-
sunal character. The larger the busi-
ness to be managed, the greater care
they take in choosing competent men to
conduct and superintend that business.
They give the preference every time
10 applicants who have had experience
IN the same direction. and only take
inexperienced men when others cam
not be found.
IN the election of county commission
en- saxt month the taxpayers of Lack
awanna county should proceed along
the same lines that would govern their
action II they were stockholders in a
private corporation. They should make
certain that at least majority of the
board consisted Of tried and trust
worthy men, whose experience and per-
sonal character would give strong as
surance Of a successful administration
of the. county's finances. In other
words. they should re-elect the present
majority members, Messrs. Roberts and
Roberts.who have clearly demonstrated
their fitness and who understand Just
what the office calls for.
So far as the choice of auditors ia
concerned, the Republican candidates.
Messrs. Kiefer and Ward, although
without direct experience in that office.
are both bright and vigilant young
men. expert accountants and possessed
OF every necessary qualification. They
court comparison with the candidates
OF the opposing party and are sure.
when elected, to give general satisfac-
tion.
