MUST BE SETTLED RIGHT.


Republican legislative manaGors at
Washington have apparently arrived at
the conclusion that it would not be Wise
during this session Of congress To press
the passage of the bill offered by Repre-
sentative Crumpackcr providing that the
congressional and electoral representa-
tion Of states In which large numbers
or men are Systematically deprived from
voting shall be cut down to correspond
with the number of actual ballots cast.
The men in charge of the programme
of law-makinG ut the national capital
seem disposed to discourage agitation
of the subject on the verge of presiden-
tial campaign in which the Republican
Marty homes to CAPTURE the electoral votes
of some of the border southern states.
This question, nevertheless. is one that
can never he settled unit! 1t is settled
right. It's discussion may be postponed
for a time. but ultimately it must press
for solution with an insistence that can
not be denied.

was made that the Spaniards, as COM
pared with the Beers. could not shoot.

bers to the army under General Methu-

ed 412 of the British, being about 4

choice of a meeting place was made.
1.-The committee" says the circular,
"were deeply impressed by the earnest
appeal of the citizens of Charleston,
endorsed with equal earnestness by the
leading educators and the press of the
south, that the present is most OPP
perfume time for the National Educa-
tional association to lend its aid in
support of the recent revival of edu-
cational interests In the south. which
is no less manifest than Is the indus
trial revolution throughout the same
territory. Moreover, the committee
could not fail to recognize the new
national spirit which has arisen from
cooperation in the recent Spanish
American war. and which suggests the
certain and valuable results that will
follow a closer and more helpful fell
lowshp in solving the peaceful and
important problems of national life
and education"
Charleston is perhaps the most con-
servative and exclusive social cent ar
in the south. Much of its life is passed
in the spirit of before the war. If
the educators of the nation can break
through this crust of traditionalism
and let in little modern sunlight,
their visit will be well worth while.
