THE TRUE EDUCATION.

In his inaugural address as chancellor
OF the Nebraska state university, Dr. E.
Benjamin Andrews gave expression to
some sound educational ideas. The rec
ord of DR.. Andrews as an educator. from
the time he was president Of Brown uni
versity, is well known and has attracted
much attention His political views and
his free expression of them to students
under him have been much criticised
and 1t is this, no doubt, that leads him.
TO plead at the beginning of his career
IN Nebraska for an absolutely free
course for the professors under him Ea
wants them to tell the truth as they
understand 1t. accepting full responsfbilz
1ty therefor in frank discussion, both in
and out of the university But he de-
precates anything in the nature of per-
secution, asserting that its whole ten
dency is to retard real progress. Dr..
Andrews said:
The real foe OF progress is the we'll
n5salllhg, stolld. fnsightless. leaden-mind
ed conservative who deems each 49,,
idea crime-the creature against 1xuhon,

The dust of antique time would 10 -,

But the doctors ideas as to what true
education should consist of are even
more interesting. He would insist upon
practical application in every line of
education from the highest to the lowest
college degree. To him a degree means
little if behind it does not exist the power
and ability to do. The country is full of
graduates who know by heart what books
have taught them, but so many of them
are SO impractical in actual work that DR..
Andrews considers their education far
from complete. The following statement
of what he wants to do in his new field
will appeal strongly to the public:

affecting city and county should be as
sumed by the representatives of the par
ty. The record of the past in that re-
gard is one which both city and county
have little reason to be pleased with
Log-rolling and private political schem-
Of Republican attempts at local legisla-
ton City and county alike have suffered
from the notorious selfishness and trick
cry which have underlaid all that has
local interests by the Republican delega-
lions for years past. Litigation without
end has resulted; and it can be stated
as an undeniable fact that most of the
let in the supreme court, and usually
have met destruction In the effort.
All this should be brought to an end.
Both on account of our own special local
ton of the party to contest at every
point the now practically undisputed con-
troll by the Republicans of the senatorial
elections we should address ourselves
to the task Of sending the largest pos
sible delegation of Democrats from tits
county. While the advantage remains
with the Republicans In most cases of
having their representatives in many of
those districts. it seems plain that with
the ticket that has been nominated there
is opportunity for a splendid fight for
Democratic supremacy. That fight should
be made, 1t Is only by the most strenu-
Gus effort that we can win a majority of
the seats to be contested for throughout
the state during this election, and many
no doubt regard the possibility of sue
cess as purely chimerical, But no mat
ter how difficult complete success may be
we should strive for it. If we cannot
attain it. We can at least send to the leg
1stature such a minority as will be in
position to hold up the hands of Gov.
Lind in his efforts to reform the conduct
of state affairs.

ILL-ADvIsED RuFFIANIsM.

No political party and no public cause
of any kind can be holden responsible
for the misdeeds of its adherents, com
mltted though oyer-zeal or thoughtless-
ness. When Gov Roosevelt and his
friends Were assailed at Victor and IN
dependence, Col. recently, there is not
an adherent of Mr.. Bryan who is not
ruff1an at heart that did not entertain
genuine regret for the brutal outrage on
freedom of speech and the rights of the
individual which it involved.
The people of the state of Colorado,
without regard to political division,
should demand that the authors of this
dirty transaction, should be brought to
summary justice. 1t was an assault on
the good name of the state.

foremost citizens of the country,

eminent, and one who has won an abid-
ing place In the respect and goodwill of
every American, without regard to pol
itics. AS such 1t should be resented .1y
every good citizen, and the demand made
plain that those who participated in 1t
should be dealt with as severely as GRIM
inal justice can be made to deal with
them
Out of the transaction Gov. Roosevelt

favor, which his countrymen have enter

attitude throughout the entire ruffianiy
performance, and he has gained an APP
preciable advantage In his canvass by his
demeanor throughout
The contrast which is offered by the
conduct of Mr.. Bryan, in whose interest
the outrage was supposed to be com
mitted, toward Mr.. Roosevelt or the oc-
casion of his appearance in Lincoln, is at
once timely and grateful. 1t will re-
move any misconceptions, and negative
any misrepresentation regarding the SEN

political thought, must regard the con-

action of the Democratic convention in
nominating Judges Kelly and Brill. The
party In this community has always
shown It's readiness to pursue the principle
of a non-partisan judiciary. 1t has so
frequently found itself confronted by
selfish and unprincipled partisan policy
on the part of the opposition that con-
siderable dissatisfaction has prevailed in
the past among Democratic voters with
the action OF their representatives in
convention in so freely rattfying the
nomination of Republican judges. while
Republican conventions have shown the
disposition to conflne their Endorsement
of members of the Judiciary to those
members who were of the right political
stripe. Happily this disposition Is, now
apparently forgotten by the Democratic
adherents; and the unanimity with which
the result was achieved in Thursdays
convention is a source of qualification to
all good citizens, Democrats and Repub-
licans alike
If Democrats will remain loyal to the
party in the forthcoming struggle the
bulk. if not all, of the county candidates
will be elected; and the work of restor-
ing Democrats to local control. begun so
auspiciously last spring. will be continued
through the election of Democratic coun-
ty officials.

rHE LEG1sLAr1vE sEATs.

There will exist some difference Of opin-
ion as to the strength of the Democratic
legislative ticket The candidates, with
one or two exceptions, are unknown to
the public. In the view, however, Of all
who know them they are entirely accept
able men.
1t Is somewhat remarkable that while
in former years the local Democracy was
able to control the legislative elections in
this city and county, there has in recent
years appeared to exist an Indifference
on the part of those who assume the re-
sponsibilities of party management to
the result of the legislative elections
Indeed, until the last election. which was
comparatively successful from the Demo-
cratic standpoint no effort had been
put forward for many years to seriously
contest Republican ascendancy.
There Is no reason that any person can
understand why the local Democracy
should not control six or seven, and pos
sibly eight, of the local seats In the house
of representatives In city elections the
result in those political divisions is uni
formly favorably to the party. In the
Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth
wards. and in the districts which en-
brace parts of the Eighth and Ninth
wards, the normal najorities are with
the party, while there is fighting chance
and more in the Second ward with the
right candidate in the field. Any action
which does not involve a serious contest
for control of the districts mentioned is
unworthy of any responsible party or
ganization.
With proper organization and united
effort we, should send at least six MEM
bers to the next house from this county.
The gentlemen nominated in those dis
tricts possess sufficient local popularity
to enable them to successfully contest
the election with their Republican com
petitors. There exists a good working
organization of the party In the city and
county. The responsibility for legislation

consequence is that the poor mans home

these conditions
1t Is all mistake to suppose that some
eight or ten years of childhood's life have
to be spent in study and play. What the
poor man wants is something that will
prepare his children to be self-sustaining
and the first line of effort for this end is
to be found in the home Every poor
mans children should be trained to the
duties of the house and if in the country
to those of the garden a barn also.
With books and papers as plentiful as
they now are and with the majority of
persons of all ages competent to answer
elementary questions, the poor children
can readily enough compass their edu-
cation if they never see the '~-'de of a
school house. There is no such thing az
reducing the school curricullIms to the
three RS, and an abolition of the schools
and resort to home training is the rem
edy for the times.

THE couNTY TICKET.


The Democrats of Ramsey county have
reason to be satisfied with the county
ticket which has just been nominated
IT is an excellent ticket as a whole, and
In respect to practically all of the candi-
dates it is to be said that it possessea
great individual strength
There never was more thoroughly
representative convention of Democrats
In this community than that which as
sembled at Mozart hall. The courage
and the intellect of the party were there
fully represented. The contests which
prevailed were conducted with spirit and
ability on both sides, and the final re-
suit was in every instance the one, we
believe. which will be most promotive of
Democratic success
The ! o e would like to have seen a
different arrangement of candidates In
certain particulars. With Mr. Metzdorf
as the candidate for register of deeds and
Mr.. Peterson on the ticket for county
treasurer, many believe the assurance of
success for both of those gentlemen
would be greater. That, however. is a
matter of individual judgment; and the
judgment of many is always more to be
relied on than that of the few.
The offices of county attorney and
sheriff are regarded as being of the most
importance from the political point of
view. The candidates nominated on the
Democratic ticket for those offices are
concedediy popular and deserving men.
Mr.. Kane is one of the abIest, as he is
one of the most eloquent of the members
of the Ramsey county bar. He is an ac-
tive and loyal Democrat, who has never
sought political preferment, and his can
didacy can be accepted as expressive In
the highest degree of the desire of Dem
oeratic voters to secure the best possible
administration of criminal justice in the
community. Mr.. Van Hoven. toe, is rec
ognized as representative business man,
and one in whose charge the office Of
sheriff is certain to be administered with
entire satisfaction to the people of the
city and county. His opponent is mere
politician, who derives whatever signif-
canoe he possesses, from his freedom to
exercise at all times the arts and calling
