THE republican papers of the
state would make those who are not
better informed believe that Gov,
Stevens is trying to dictate too much
to his party. This is not so. The
governor is a good, conscientious
democrat and is laborlng in the in
terest of his party's welfare, and do
ing it in an open, manly way.
His ''reaons against state primary
are sound and logical to any fair.
minded man. Mr. Stephens don't
want his party TO make any mis-,
takes, and we see where he is righl.

No MAN could possibly have ex-
acted so much enthusiasm or drawn
such crowds as Mr.. Bryan has done
this year in the states of Kenturky,
Ohio, and Nebraska. No man is
closer to the hearts of the Ameri'
can people. No man so nobly, so
fully and so fifty represents their
wants and best aspirations as he
does. No one is so popular as he.
He deserves it by his courage, his
eIoqucnce, his honesty and his per-
feet truth. He will be renominatcd
by the unanimous vote OF the next
national democratic convention.
Whether Mckinley will be the
republican nominee or not, we do
not know, but if he should be, he
will find that his adhesion tt the
trusts and the gold standard, his
policy of high taxes, a great stand
ing army, Imperialism and organ
lied corruption, and the bestowaI
OF Offices upon congressman, IN
order to stihe the voice Of indepen-
dent criticism, will only entail the
overwhelming condemnation of the
American people And the presi.
dent-eIect will be not from the east
but from the great west, and will
not be the nominee of Wall street
or the product Of intrigue, but a
plain, healthy, outspoken man Of
the masses, whose record is as clear
as the sun at MONDAY. His name

Concerning Schools.
Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me to use
little of your valuable space in the
interest of the schools of your
county.
Having met, IN the past few weeks,
about three thousand teachers and
two thousand directors 10 tbirty-five
South Missouri counties, and talked
with them about the Course Of
Study, recently issued and sent to
county commissioners and by them
distributed to teachers, wish to en-
phasize SONS points which have
been considered,
To Teachers: The Course of Study
is not an outline to be literally fol.
lowed. Catch the spirit of it and
apply the subject matter only so far
as you can.
You need some books for supple
mentary work and | advise that you
make a strong effort during the
next few weeks to raise few dollars
for the library. Head supscrip-
tion list and take it to every patron
and friend in the district. If you
cannot do better, spend five dollars
of your own money. Select books
which will assist you in the work
you wish to undertake (see pages 10
and IL Of Course of Study.
Ii you have class in Elementary
Geography, continue it and supple
ment it with work suggested in
Mature and Culture Study"
Give careful consideration to the
suggestions as to alienation Of
Work. You need to economize
time and this will help you.
Do not wait till close of term to
think about records to be left.
Records may be used to stimulate
irregular pupils to more regularity
in attendance and in character Of
work done. Insist on all pupils
doing all the work; be discreet
rather than dogmatic, however.
Ifthe suggestive work in Mature
and Culture Study" is new to you,
the greater the reason for your be-
ginning on it 1T once. An earnest
effort here will add great inte restto
all you work.
Have written reviews or eXamina-
tions, laying great stress Oh neat,
ness and carefulness. Ask County
Commissioner for questions.
Do not consider the course of
either all good or all bad. If you
are machine teacher and teach the
book rather than the boy, if you
consider the children made for the
school rather than the school for the
children, you need expect much
help from it.
To Directors; Please consult your
teacher as to what he or she thinks
of the course of study,
Insist on the teachers keeping
close tab on the work Of every pupil
and on his keeping such records AS
will enable you to know at the close
Of the term the character and amount
of work done by every pupil in the
district.
Give your teacher to understand
that you appreciate honest, earnest
effort and that you consider merit
and merit alone, IN employing.
Your teacher needs o few good
books. There is no reason why
you may not use n few dollars Of
the incidental fund for this purpose.
A school devoted entirely to text
books is necessarily supplying, in
stead of vitalizing, in It's tenden-
cies. Most respectfully,
w. T. CARUINGToN,
State Supt. Public Schools.

Grand. Rapids. Mich. Feb. 1I.-Col.
Bryan spoke here tonight under the
auspices of the Kent County Demo-
cratic Club.
In denouncing the proposition to In
crease the army he asked why 1t was
necessary, and said II certainly could
not be on account Of any disaster that
had occurred under Republican rule.
because we are told that the people
are peaceablc. prosperous and happy.
Continuing, he said:
do you want a new policy TINT
makes 1t necessary for you to have
three times as many soldiers to take
care of SO,OOOOOO people as 1t took to
take care of 7OO0O.O0O peoplcI Do you
think. my friends, that It ought 10
take twice as many soldiers to bring
the blessings of bcneficent assimila-
tion to 1O.OOO.0OO aliens as 1t required
to do the work among 10.0OO.OOO peo>
pie?
II have not said anything MS bad
against the Republican, policy as that.
The President IL more severe In con-
demning his own policy than l have
been: when lie says that 1t VIII take
10000 soldiers to make the people nc-
cept and enjoy the kind of govern
ment he Is going to give them. he con-
demns his policy more than do.
II read his speech made last night
ut Boston. and he said the only thing
they have ever thought OF was the
happiness and welfare Of these people
who by chance have been thrown into
our keeping. nothing to be thought Of
except their welfare. Well. my

IL OCCUPY THE PHILIPPINES

Ships and Non to Visit all the Ports.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 1S.-The ad.
ministratIon has determined rapidly to
extend the Jurisdiction of the United
States over the Philippine group In Its
entirety.
The government Is acting on the
theory that delay In this case Is dang
erous and that anarchy and a general
paralysis of such interests as the is,
lands support will be brought about
through n failure promptly to replace
the Spanish sovereignty over the is
lands by that of the United States.
This decision involves the necessity
of novel campaign and this will be
Instituted as soon .as Admiral Dewey
receives the reinfOrcements IN the
shape of gunboats now on the way to
Manila.
1t Is not anticipated that there will
be necessity for any formidable
demonstrations, but the fact that the
United States government is able to
exhibit a sufficient force to accomplish
the purpose of occupation Is expected
to deter the natives from prOfitless re-
sIstance.
Owing to the vast number Of the
Philippine islands large number OF
gunboats would be required to visit
them simultaneously. SO the program
will be to have the vessels visit in or
der the principal towns outside of Ma
nIla, especially those where Spanish
garrisons We're maintained on the Is
lands of Cebu and Zamboango on the
island of Mindanao and some OF the
cities on Negros.
The naval vessels probably will be
accompanied by some troops on trans
ports and the soldiers will be landed
where necessary to hoist the United
States flag and take possession FORM
ally of the ports. 1t is understood thas
there will be no attempt made ut the
time to displace any of the existing
municipal governments except where
they prove refractory and offer resist
ance. In fact policy of Cancellation
will be followed ut all points In the
treatment of the natives.
