AN ACCEPTABLE TICKET.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an account OF the movement for I'M
proving the schools. The proposed
ticket, while not one that the HERALD
named thereon, is nevertheless an i'm
provemert over the present board in
several respects.
Everybody is sorry that Mr.. Foster
is Ineligible for reelection owing to his
holding a federal office. But few peo-
pie are sorry that the present presi-
dent of the board ia to be replaced.
The new board will be capable of bet
ter things than the OLD, and let US
hope that the board to be elected next
Saturday will not only maintain but
advance the present standard.
There are several desirable changes
in the school administration that are
necessary if our schools are to occupy
the place they should among the
schools of cities OF similar important e.
1t Is thought that the candidates for
new member of the board, as named
elsewhere, will favor these changes
and work for the best interests of the
schools, tending to check the desire
that has been all too apparent on the
part of some of the trustees, to work
for personal or political ends often to
the detriment of the schools and to the
loss of the community.
Our people are interested in kee ping
the schools free from sinister influence.
They want TRUSTEES" that they can
trust. By voting for the ticket named
they can get q majority Of trustees
that can be trusted. The arrangement
that b as been reached is the best that
lie at present possible. and it Is gener-
ally acceptable to voters.

REFERRING to the timely turn TO-
ward industrial and commercial i'm
provement throughout the south the
New York Herald says: "The south
is slowly waking up. 1t has always
had brains, but it has lacked capital.
1t is developing degree OF enterprise
which will soon make 1t dangerous
rival of the north. It has iron and
coal and water power and cotton and
other raw material, and, besides, 1t
has cheap labor. The manufactures
already in operation have paid good
dividends and their success is the
prophecy of other projects in the near
future. There are cotton and wooden
mills, the tobacco crop Is big, but
there is a lack of railroad facilities
and hotel accommodation. When the
south recognizes It's resources and
makes use of them, the north Will not
have to turn its head round to Gee its
competitor, for It will be shoulder to
shoulder with it," The great days
of the south have dswned. The south
is to become q rival OF the manufacture
iug coun tries. And the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal well sets forth the at
titude of the south in these
words: son the part of the
south it will be generous rivalry.
If, however, the Nicaragua canal is
built and an enlightened policy Of az
pansion adopted, the north and the
south will stand shoulder to shoulder,
not in rivalry, but in hearty co-opera-
ton, for there will be plenty of trade
for both sections"

THE PORTO RICO ACT.

The change in public sentiment re-
It's principles and underlying motives
are understood, has been remarkable.
People who month ago were clamor-
Ing for immediate free trade with
Porto Rico cay frankly now that the
act as passed and pu blished In the HER
AID yesterday provides vastly bet
ter way to meet the situation than
free trade would for very importar
reasons.
To have established immediate free
trade with Porto Rico would have
taken away the easiest method Of rails
ing revenue, which that island must
have, and which IL could otherwise
only have had by an internal revenue
act-a tax which would have been ex-
t-emely burdensome-or by direct
contribution from the treasury of the
United States. This absolutely neces-
sary revenue will now be supple
from the collections nnder the Porto
Rican act on all dutiable goods impor-
ted into the United States from Porto
fSlCO or lnGO TOEtU SlCO 1FOu Cu6
United States. Ifthis system of rails
Ing money is uns satisfactory to Porto
Ricaus. they can put an end to it
within q few months if they desire,
siuce the act authorizes them to elect
legislature and specifically provides
that all tariff between the United
States and Porto Rico shall cease
when that legislature shall provide
necessary funds for sustaining the
government of Porto Rico.
An equally important results, how
ever, of the enactment of this law,
which retains a mere shadow of tariff
duties bstween Porto Rico and the
United States, lies in the fact that the
right to determine matters of this
character as they are reached is re-
tanned by congress, and thus no prece'
dent lie established by which anybody

IN the last two calendar years, und er
the Dinghy tariff, we bought from
Europe goods worth 1925, 600, 600. In
the same two years we sold to
Europe goods worth s1,94O, 00O, 600.
The balance of trade in our favor was
thus 81, 2l5, 600 600 from Europe alone.
This is the sort of ''entangling foreign
alliance" that is caused by the repub.
lican policy of protection. It Is en-.
tangling to the other fellow.

The omission of any direct reference
to free coinage at 10 to / in Governor
Thomas speech becomes doubly signili-
cant in the light of yesterdays events.
Few would have supposed that the
governor of Colorado, elected to his
high office by fusion votes as n silver
candidate, and chosen as temporary
chairman OF the convention as the rep
rcsentative of the western silver Dem.
ocrats, would have missed an oppor-
tunity for a plain declaration in favor
OF silver coinage at the traditional ra-
ito. Few would have supposed that
under such circumstances the speech
of Governor Thomas would have been
applauded by the gold Democratic
newspapers of the East us wise" and

But Governor Thomas is quicker than
most men to appreciate the direction of
the wind, and not even his ingrained
experience in the silver ranks of Colo

prevalent in Kansas City.
