Utah Volunteers Score Commander of this
Philippine Forces.
San Francisco, Aug. 1.-The enlisted
men of the Utah batteries, now in San
Francisco, are not saying many words
in praise of Gen. Otis.
I'VE used to lie out on the firing
line and wish Otis would come along,
but he never came, said one Every
time we got the niggers surrounded
orders would come from Otis to with
draw. Why, the Utah batteries cap
tured one town seven times. We could
have driven the filipinos into the
ocean, but whenever we got them
right where we wanted them Otis
called us off.
1--WE captured 16o miles of railroad,
and today the niggers are in posses
sion of 40 miles of it. Otis lied like
a horse thief when he said the volun-
teers were anxious to stay in Manila
They did not want to stay at all, and
Otis knew it, | hope they will send
somebody out to take his place right
away No matter who they send, he's
bound to be an improvement on Otis. !"

QUIET IN SAMOA.
Both Mataafa and Malietoa Satisfied with
Present Arrangements

San Francisco, July 3o.-Chief JUS
tice w. l.. Chambers of Samoa arrived
here on the steamer Moana, accom-
panied by his family. He is on four
months leave of absence, but says that
his business in the United States is of
such nature that he will probably
not return to Apia. In an interview
the chief justice said:
"All is now quiet in Samoa, but |
cannot answer for the future Both
Mataafa and Malietoa affect to be sat
isfed with the present arrangement,
which abolishes the Office of king and
vests the responsibility of government
in the consuls of the three powers.
Though fairly elected, and after cleo
tion accepting the kingship, he never
had ambitions in that direction. As
soon as the commission arrived he
proved to be in accord with the plans
of the commissioners, and have every
reason to believe he will live up to his
bargain.
"Mataafa is ambitious. For many
years he has thirsted for power and
will not be SO easily satisfied At the
same ,ime he is a man of exceptional
ability, is shrewd, and | have never
thought the interests of the natives
would especially suffer in his hands,

TOO MUCH EDUCATION.

Are the young people of this country
being over.educatedS
Mr.. Coils Z. Huntington, the railroad
magnate, thinks they are. In speech
delivered In San Francisco not long ago he
declared that much of the distress in this
country at this time is due TO "over educa.
ton OF the Masses" while preparation
for professional life requires advanced know.
ledge" he went on to say, "it seems to me
that the vast majority Of our young people
spend too much OF their vigorous years of
youth inside school rooms and not enough
in the practical work Of life."
Mr.. Huntington enjoyed very limited edu-
cstional advantages In early life, hence ii
may be said that he has the uneducated but
successful mans prejudices against higher
education. Still, is there probably not some
basis for what he saysY There seems TO be
a widespread idea that the young man or
the young woman who spends the most
years at school and studies the greatest
number of books has the best chance for
winning success in life.
Still, probably every reader can recall in
stances in which young men have lett col.
lege filled with theory, but totally incapa-
BILE OF taking up the practical things of life
and making Roadway with them. On the
other hand there are many examples OF com.
paratively uneducated men who have made
great successes In their undertakings. How.
ever. il would probably be well TO make dis.
tinction just here between Education" and
book learning, for no one would say that
Mr.. huntington, himself, was an unedu-
Gated man, Notwithstanding his lack of
drilling in text books An education, IN
the best acceptance Of the term, means great
deal more than the acquisition OF certain in
formation from books or preceptors. A
youths brain may be crammed full to
OVERLOOKING with chemistry, physics, trigo.
nometry, physcology, ETC., and at the same
time may be educated in less degree than
another, who has done but little, If any,
thing more than master the "Three RS" but
has meantime studied nature 10 the crops,
the trees, the birds, and mankind, and has
cultivated his mechanical and constructive
Instincts at the mechanics bench or forge.

Mr.. Huntington that the youth o.
