EDUCATION The ONLY SOLUTION.

In n recent letter to the Fort Dodge

statements from Gen. O.is hat make q

that education is th,e only solution III

The writer says:
Gen. Otis is here lin Washngtoni
from he Philippines and makes d good
report ON conditions there. He says
the situation is steadily improving a II
tho there will be disorder for u long
time. The most important evidence he.
offers is that the Industries of tic.
country are reviving. good crops are
being grown and harvested Tee i'm

He made one statement in particular
which came as a distinct surprise in

Gen. Otis said he looked upon this

II STRONG POLITICAL POSITION.

One of the strongest features of the
republican cause is the satisfaction of
the people with present conditions. 1t
is difficult to turn the current of affairs
when people are rea sonably prosperous
and contented. Such expressions as
Our people are paving off their debts.
We are too we'll off to think of making
a change. We are satisfied With the
present state of affairs, come from all
parts of the nation. They indicate a
general condition that gives the domi-
nant party a great advantage. Men
who are willing TO make an effort IN the
good times OF the present era are rea-
sonably certain of a fair reward. OF
course discontented men may be found
They are easily influenced. Many are
willing to shoulder their Own ineffieiency
or ill-luck upon the party in power. The
democratic party Will find its greatest
helpers in this class. unpleasant as it
may be to record the fact. They Will at
