such knowledge and experience would
have failed no matter how good his in
tentions.
Indianapolis News: The Paris expOsi-
ton offers an inviting schOol-roOm.
American cooks, turning out griddle
cakes, hoe cakes, corn pone, bread made
from corn and rye, bread made from an
amixture Of corn flour and wheat -four
and all of the many delightful corn prod
ucts, serving them free to visitors from
all over Europe, from all over the world,
would do much to make the advantages
Of Americas greatest cereal known and
| appreciated.
Nashville American: Let us lay the
heavy hand of the Law on all schemes
and combinations that are detrimental
to the public welfare, choke the trusts
and maui the combines out Of existence,
but don't make bugbear of rich men.
We all wish to be rich, and the govern
ment that gives and guarantees equal
opportunities to all men to attain that
desirable state, that gives full play to
talent and to energy, is the best posi-
BILE government mans wisdom can de-
wise.
Grand Rapids Democrat: These recent
mobile fluctuations Of silver-dOwnward
as demOnetizatiOn by Japan and else
where, and upward on every promise of
increased demand for money uses-fur-
nish most valuable and fOrcible object
lesson in financial economics, demon
strating, as do beyond a peradventure,
the utter falsity of the gold standard
contention Of Director of Mint Preston
and others that demonstrations was not
the cause, but simply the effect Of the
fall Of silver.
Globe-DemOcrat: In no other country
in the world in which the press is free
is it so erratic and ineffective as it is
in England. 1t neither voices public
opinion nor represents the sentiments
or intentions Of the ministry of the day,
to whatever party that ministry may
belong. Thirty years ago and earlier the
British press was a power in the state,
but in the past quarter of century 1t
has abdicated It's old function as an
exponent Of the purposes Of parties or
the will of governments.
st. Paul Press: Following the ex-
ample of President Fish, Of the
Illinois Central railroad, President
StiCkney, Of the Chicago, Great
Western, has inaugurated an effort to
secure the permanent personal interest
Of the employees of his road in it's sue
cessful working, by enabling them to
purchase shares of it's per cent. de-
benture stock or Of it's preferred GA"
stock, on such easy terms as puts it
within the power Of almost every en-
plOye to become the possessor Of one
or more shares, and entitled to vote in
the election of directors.
Nashville Banner: The complaint
made by Governor Taylor that Tennes-
see does not pay him enough salary as
Governor should not cause the unin-
formed to believe that this State is |
altogether niggardly in the matter. |
There are other States that pay their |
Governors less than Tennessee. We be-
lleve in paying sufficient salaries to pub
lie officers, but when a citizen solicits |
an Office with full knowledge Of the |
compensation and the work of the Office |
he should not complain If it be given
him, and should not subject the State to
the reproach Of failing to do him justice.
Mail and Express: We do not sympa-
thize with those churlish critics who
object to the attendance of United States
troops at agricultural fairs and other
public gatherings, where they give ex-
hibition drills and incidentally swell
the gate receipts. The visit Of a troop
or company or battery to one of these
fairs almost always involves experience
IN lOng-distance marching, and in their
