THE WAR PORTFo oLlO
RENDERED To GEN. RUSSELL A..
ALGER, or MICHIGAN.
He Accepts the High Honor--The Pol
icy of the New Administration
Has not Been Considered.

Canton, Ohio, Jan. 2o.-"I have been
rendered and have accepted the War
portfolio"
General Russell A Alger, Of Michi-
gan, made this announcement to the As
sCciated Press representative this after
noon The General had just emerged
from the south parior, which is the con-
ference room while Mrs Mckinley is out
of the city. He and Major Mckinley had
Just completed the Interview Ia which the
formal tender and acceptance were pass
ed.
Without saying anything more on the
subject, the General turned To several
callers awaiting an audience with Major
Mckinley, and then re-entered the parlor,
where he remained till train time.
AT 4:15 he returned to Cleveland to re-
new his conference of the morning with
National Chairman Hanna, and win go
thence to his home in Detroit The Asso-
ciated Press representative saw him
again at the station In the conversation
there, the General said that in the in
view to-day the first oyertures were made
to him in connection with the Cabinet
and that at no time before to-day had
Major Mckinley said anything to him
directly or indirectly, ON the subject
The General said that none Of the APP
pointments Of his department had not yet
been disposed of or decided upon, and
that it would be some time before any an
nouncements in that line could be made.
The policy Of the administrator, he
said, has not been considered, but even if
it had, he was too much Of a soldier to an
nounce the policy Of his superiors.
He also confirmed Senator Burrows
statement that the relations between him
self and Senator Sherman are entirely
pleasant, and that the Cabinet associa-
tions will be harmonious, and all branch
es Of the administration in accord.
Captain Heisland, of the Seventh Reg
iment, O. n. c., who, while on furlough,
is attached to the Mckinley household,
was first in his congratulations to the new
head Of the War Department
He said: 'You are now my chief. AL

rior officer.

mo. If You viii compare the wealth
Of each State with the amount it spends
for public schools, you will see that
North Carolina ranks 43rd Only Wy
oming, Arizona, Alabama, Texas, Ne
vada, and New Mexico are doing less.
But these all have longer school terms
than we. They derive part of their
school funds from rents, and I suppose
they do not waste as much school money
as we"
We'll, then, | suppose you think we
ought to increase our school taX2 Is not
North Carolina taxed already about all
the people can stand"
II don't know. 1t seems to be a popu-
lar thing for the politicians to say so.
But the census report gives the average
tax rate upon property in the United
States (true valuation) 70 on the 500.
In North Carolina it is only Al cents
anG that is the lowest Of all the States
except Idaho's which is 81 cents.
But do not advocate an increase OF
the State school tax. North Carolina has
one Of the largest State taxes for schools.
Only six States have a larger tax. The
States That have the longest term and
the best schools raise most Of their money
by local taxation Each township taxes
itself for schools. Eleven States and
Territories have no State tax for schools.
Among these is Massachusetts, which
has the best schools of all the States,
spends most money upon them and has
least illiteracy among ITS native white
population The only efficient public
schools we have in North Carolina are in
few communities where the people have
levied a special local tax for them
I'VE shall never have a system Of pub
lie schools in North Carolina worth the
money spent upon them till each town
ship taxes itself for the purpose That
is the experience Of all the other States,
and we ought to profit by it.
Local taxation and compulsory school
attendance will remove the blot Of Hitter
acy from our State.

You have demonstrated the peril TO

will save in their last extremity. Within
the limits of your professional power and

proach to criminal malpractice, yet news

vertise the way to such crimes and startle
