~ OF New York, as chairman Of the

I'VE. the participants in the National

Spain and subsequently prosecuting
the war with higher aims and success
In bringing 1t to n speedy conclusion.
1t Is glorious to our arms and gratify-
Ing to the high aspirations OF our peO-
pie.
'On behalf Of freedom and human
welfare, we thank the officers and men
OF our army and navy for their skillful
and heroic achievements on land and
on sea, and for their chivalrOus con-
duct toward the defeated enemy. We
believe that the rescued and libernt-
ed people Of the surrendered islands
are in n sense temporarily the wards
OF the conquering nation and that we
should treat them rs such.
with our success. with our view of
natural right and of the inestimable
privilege OF civil liberty. we should not
be justified In returning the conquered
Islands to the misrule and oppression
from which we have relieved them.
As soon as the islands under our pres
ent protection can he trusted to govern
themselves, they should be allowed to
do so, the United States retaining un-
der Its authority only necessary naval
stations. Until such time ns they may
he able to govern themselves, they
should continue under the protection
OF the United States. and the question
ns to whether, at some future period
and Mt the mutual desire OF both, they
should be permanently annexed, should
be left to the time when 1t arises.
1.-THE United States. in behalf OF each
territory In question and no long as 1t
shall continue under Its protection.

been adopted In some Michigan
schools, in order to relieve the over
crowding Of children. objection to
the plan has been made on the ground
OF Its depriving the children OF half
their allotted opportunity for the ac-
QUESTION Of knowledge, but the reports
Of schools, when 1t has been tried, are
conclusive as to Its great advantages,
as well as to the fact that in the long
run the children learn quite us much
ns they do in the double session. Que
superintendent pepOrts that In every
school where the single session has
been adopted, the children, besides
making just as good progress as those
In the double-fashlon departments,
have n freshness and vigor unknown
before; their discipline is far less diff
ficult and the need for corporal pun
ishment is greatly diminished.

The mass meeting went Atkinson. H.
But just before the counties acted
Mrs. Atkinson made one grave mis-
take, the only mistake in her part OF
the campaign. She wrote letter to
some of the counties, signing Mr.. At
kinson's name saying: "Am much en-
couraged IN securing the men who con-
troll in most Of the counties 20 work for
me. The combination which in the
beginning opposed me is now broken
One man. proving untrustwOrthy,ga gave
the letter away. 1t was published
broadcast aud ridiculed. The "A tlanta
Constitution came out with scathint
article headed The Men Who Con-

took u train to Atlanta and rushed Il
the Kimball house TO see her husband
and learn how the mistake could be
rectified.
That's all right" said Mr.. Atkin-
son, "I'll tur it to good account.

Land of the Sky.v

In western North Carolina, between
the Blue Ridge on the east and the AL
leghanies on the west, in the beautiful
valley of the French Broad, two thou
sand feet above the sea, lies Asheville,
beautiful, picturesque and world-famed
as one of the most pleasant resorts in
America. 1t is a land OF bright skies
and incompatible climate, whose
praises have been sung by poets, and
whose beauties of stream, valley and
mountain height have furnished SUBJ
ject and inspiration for the painters

swering the letters the best way she
cou d. With two stenographers she
dictated between 300 and 400 letters in
the "a hours of each day. Stopping
neither to rest nor sleep, her youn gest
child cliDging TO her, she went on with
uutlsggiug zeal. On one occasion she
wrote six letters to one county asking
if Atkinson stood any chance to carry
the county.
There is no use for you to try to
work up any strength for yourself in
this county, replied one of the pro-
minent men II can safely say that j
can control every vote in this county,
and 1t won't go for Atkinson
"All right, old man." said Mrs. At
kiuson, I'm file your letter and charge
1t to you at the right time She put
IL away.
Her work broadened into direction
and managing the campaign of the
various counties. She was obliged to
evolve into general bureau of inform
alton regarding her husbands policy
aud politics.
How does be stand in regard to
Cleveland?" was one question. She
answered it in so diplomatic manner
that when the letter was read be fore a
mixed assemblage OF Cleveland and
anti-Clevelaud men il was received
NAbh uppAuu-C huO anu
the meeting went Atkinson. A county
| in the pine districts wrote up TO her:
There was one thing working sgaius st
Atkinson pretty bad: that ia that he
beats his wife. Will Mrs. Atkinson
please state the TRUTH" Another
woman with less judgment would have
lash back an Indignant negative. Mrs.
Atkinson wrote:
This concerns no issue OF the cam
paign. Ii Mr.. Atkinson whips his wife
let me remind you that she is his wife,
and whose business is it?' The letter
caught the popular fancy like wild
fire.
There's woman who understands
politics; she won't even affirm or deny
the truth, people said. The county
went Atkinson.
In few weeks IL counties were for
Atkinson, while 10 were for his OPP
pouent. But one of the biggest dis
trictS remained uuconquered, the one
from which the letter before quoted
and placed on file was received. The
day was fixed for the final vote. The
