Who Shall Succeed Mr.. Stonep

Hon. Mason S. Stone will not be a
candidate for reelection as State Su-
perintendent of Education. We make
this statement on the authority of Mr..
Stone, who informed us that his posi-
ton was well understood by Mr.. Ran
ger and the other prospective candi-
dates. This being the case it is none
too early to raise the question of who
shall succeed him. The state has been
exceptionally well served by Mr.. Stone.
He has put much hard work into the
duties of his Office. lie has visited
and spoken in nearly every town in
the state. The small towns have not
been neglected. lie has made his way
into the most remote and awakened
increased interest in education and
the schools, by his earnest, convincing
speeches, and personal work. He has
secured the adoption of the town sys-
tenn of schools, and seen it made
success. This alone is of ineStimable
value to the state.
Who shall succeed him?
Certainly it needs a man of marked
ability; good speaker; a practical,
earnest, .up-to-date educator. No
theorist is wanted. No Office seeker
is needed. This is place of so much
Importance that the very best man
should be chosen. Who shall it be?
We have no candidate, but speak for
the very best. We only hope the
state will be fortunate enough to Sc
cure one as able, fearless and faithful
as Mason S. Stone.

The fire loss of the United States
and Canada in the first six months of
1900 was over one hundred millions of
dollars, as against sixty'dve millions
in the same time the previous year.
This is a record breaker. 1t is the
heaviest tax this country has to pay.
Let any business man compare the
sums he pays annually for insurance
and taxes and he will be surprized.
This tax might be reduced one half
if the moral hazard could only be
eliminated; if every person would ex-
ercisc the care and prudence that he
ought, and if more stngent laws were
enforced against fire traps This sub
iect is worthy of serious study.

ACHIEVEMENT AND FAILURE
Results OF Republican and Democratic
Policies Contrasted.

We nave had three years of McKin-
ley and Republican domination. Look
at the practical results. During the
free silver panic pending the election
of 1896 every man owning a hundred
dollars in currency, who could get into
the treasury, got there demanding its
substitution in gold, and the Republic
IAN leaders even predicted that McKin-
ley, if elected. would be compelled to
start out with bond issue. But in
stead, confidence being restored even
before his inauguration,t the gold flowed
back into the treasury in steady
stream, just as it came back from its
hiding places in Europe to which it
had been driven by the phantom of
four-bit silver Before the spring of
'9S had waned the money supply of the
country, resting upon a sound founda-
ton, in circulation, in the banks and
in the treasures, had reached the high
water mark of experience, and before
the autumn had waxed every preceding
record had been broken. This success
was repeated in the unprecedented in
crease of domestic and foreign
trade, and for the first time in many
years the balance of trade was regis
tered at high figure in favor of this
country Before January, 1899, more
than a million of 1aborers driven into
the streets by the Democracy had been
restored to work at top-rate wages At
the beginning of the last named year
every furnace was ablaze every mill
was pregnant, and every piece of ma
chinery was instinct with life Yet the
record of 1898, surprising all others in
business achievements so far as to
stand out as conspicuous landmark
in history, is dimmed and eclipsed by
the achievements of the year just
closed
Wherein experiment has proved
Democratic policies a miserable failure
it has proved Republican policies an
unparalleled success Then where lies
