WHAT THE TAFT COMMISSION
IS DOING.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce, n
staunch administration paper. throws
some light on matter that has doubt
less been more or less obscure in many
minds, to-wit: What the Taft Com
mission has been doing in the Philip
pines. apart from the onerous work of
drawing its salaries and cabling home
campaign documents at the govern
ment's expense. The correspondent
says:
THE Commission of which Judge
Taft is the head has been given legis-
lative power. so far as it is within the
authority of the President to give
such power. and they are making laws
which are declared by those who have
examined them to be the best code ever
enacted in any country. The new civil
service system is in advance of that of
the United States in the strictness of
its requirements. the limited number
of exemptions, and the fixing of an
age limit for merely clerical employ
ments. In this and other matters the
Commission has the power of a benev-
olent despotism, in not being required
to consider popular Drcjudices in dccid-
ing whether a given reform shall he
put in operation or not The chief
I
absence of approval by Congress. The
matter of granting franchises has not
yet been taken up, and there may be
doubt whether important enterprises
would be undertaken by responsible
business men with uncertainty hang
ing over their heads, as TO whether the
privileges granted by the Commission
might not be revoked by Congress"
AS bit of unctious euphemism this
y raenontf,ltx commanded IN tba o,,,,
lation of any who may have occasion
to use diplomacy in dismissing the
cook. THE Commission has the power
of benevolent despotism in not being
required to consider popular prejudice
in deciding whether given reform

In "the matter OF granting fran
chises" the correspondent is equally
felicitous of phrase. He does not blur
out the. plain blunt fact that the fran
chise grabbers have been waiting fol

MERE BUTCHERY.

The transference of popular interest
from the Boer war to China, and the
consequent withdrawal of most of the
newspaper correspondents from South
Africa, seems to have been followed by
extremely harsh measures on the part
of the British. OF course it may have
been merely a coincidence, but certain
it is that the advocates of n strong as
against a concilatory policy seemed to
triumph as soon as the attention of the
world was attracted elsewhere.
We hear. for instance, of whole COM
panies of Beers condemned by court
martial and shot for alleged abuse of
the white flag. That is the same old
| story that we have had ever since the
miserable conspiracy against the Beers
eliminated in open hostilties and be-
tokens lack of nexibility in the Eng
| fish imagination. Some of the most
| reputable of the correspondents who
followed the course of the war, both
with the British and Boer armies. have
time and again exposed these alleged
violations of the flag of truce by the
Beers as mere canards. and observant
| men will be slow to credit such incl
dents with responsibility for the cruel
| ty of the English.
1t may turn out in the end that Eng
land has determined that it is cheaper
to kill the Beers or deport them than
to keep them in subsection; certainly
| 1T begins to look that those who are
standing out against the British forces
| need hope for little from the rules of
war. The struggle has become mere
butchery, as shocking in it's details as
it was in its inspiration.

TO GET RID OF A STATE.
lChattannnpa TinnesA

Nevada goes on gracefully growing,
as the cows tail grows. downward.
The State had 45.761 population in 1890.
and 1884 in 1900, loss of 3,427 in ten
years, or z per cent. This is not acct
dental in the case of this concern, but
normal and inevitable. 1t has been
slowly rotting off the stem of the Union
ever since it was made q State in 1864,
when 1t had $4,000 inhabitants. These
fell off to $4,000 in 1870. rose to 60. 900 in
1880. owing to gold find excitements,
and since the latter year Nevada has
rapidly declined in both wealth and
population. 1t is the premium sham of
our country. Its final disappearance as
State must present a puzzling case
for our craftsmanship to work out.
How will Congress get rid of a State?

A LONG DISTANCE BETWEEN
POETS.

l
The Yirginian-P Pilot. on the strength
of some verses supplied by the Char
! lotte Observer. several days ago said
a North Carolina poet had risen up
to make the Bard OF the Congaree, Mr..
j. Gordon Coogler. of Columbia. S. c.,
look like thirty cents. The Observer
adds this chapter:
Now the Columbia State puts in its
oar and is evidently mad about Tar
Heel poets entering the lists against
the unrythmical Coogler to its breast
and talks sarcastically about daring
to compare" the poet laureate of Gull
ford county to him. We have to re-
mind him of the fact that the urbane
editor of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
has already decided that Coogler is no
longer in the push"
And it sticks to it while admitting
that the local pride of the State is en-
tirely praiseworthy. In the matter of
Coogler and Mr.. M. Wolfe. of Green's
boro (for such, an autograph letter
from himself informs us. in the name
of the new troubadour) the honors are
all with Mr.. Wolfe. Take this, for ex-
ample, from his ode to Gen. Carr:
For strength his name is n tower
In Council of State or of church
His mind has u wonderful power
To never get left in the lurch."
We submit that the English language
never has been and never will be tor
tured into a more sublime incoherence.
Let the once proud Coogler avaunt.
Wen none of him.
But the Observer complexities the sit
uation when it says:
Those South Carolina editors mean
we'll, but the trouble with them is that
they don't know anything about poe
try. The editor of the Norfolk Vir-
ginian-P Pilot always sleeps with vol
ume of poems under his head and to
his critical taste we conf1de the whole
subject. calling his attention especially
to the latest contribution, as above, be-
ginning Friendship true" etc, and
marked Exhibit c."
And then submits this from Foster,
the Spartanburg Heralds candidate
for the laureateship. in praise OF Mr..
Bryan:
Enemy to imperial sway,
Never at n loss what to say,
NO barrier can stay his course.
In strength of mind he is n force"
We are compelled to admit that this
is mighty likely sample of minstrclsy.
AS between 1t and this, from the OBJ
servers new candidate. we have been
robbed of considerable sleep and obi
pose:
Friendship true cannot
Without love dwell in the heart
Affection inspired Is not short,
Such emotion moves like a dart"
While the Virginian- Pilot believes
that this last pinch of amorous idyl
is original with the Observer, and while
the Observer was guilty of an attempt
to coerce us by threatening to call the
author of THE Balsam Groves of the
Grandfather into the lists, If the de-
cision should go against it, once more
we are compelled to hand the chaplet
over 10 the Tarheel candidate. The
sublime disregard OF consequences with
which this stanzn is saturated brings
home with the force OF irresistible sug-
gestion the exalted frenzy of a grand
passion. Here's your bay leaves, take
'em.

URGES A COSMOPOLITAN BIBLE"
dowa State Register.)


The Rev. w. II. Thomas, pastor OF
the Peoples Church of Chicago, has
come forward with n plan for a COS
mopolitan Bible designed to embrace
the moral precepts of all the religions
in the world. and at the same time ex-
clude whatever is orthodoxical or sec
tartan in any of them" il being neces-
sary, in his opinion, to have such a
bible because modern Christianity is
drifting toward q universal religion"
One of Dr. Thomas inspirations was
the discussion now going on in Chi
cago over the proposed introduction of
Bible readings into the schools. the
prime object being to provide a code of
moral teachings for the public schools
to which the parents of sectarian be-
liefs could find no objection. He says
that twenty-five years ago the idea of
a cosmopolitan bible would have been
insupportable, but he believes the reli-
gious development OF the past quarter
of n century has shown the need of
such Il bible. and that Christians are
now beginning to realize that Chris
tianity is not the only religion in the
world: that all who are not Christians
are not pagans. and that the teachings
OF Asiatic religions contain just as
beautiful and inspiring moral codes as
does the Bible.

ARE PUBLIC SCHOOLS A FAILURE

Prof. ]. Lawrence Laughlin. of Chi
rago University, whose views on many
subjects are peculiar. makes the sever
est criticism of the public school sys-
tenn OF the country that we have noted.
In a lecture in the University Prof.
Laughlin said:
..The influence of the public school
system OF the United States on our
political and social conditions is prac-
tically MIL All this talk about the
beneficent results of our system of free
schools in making the laboring classes
more efficient industriously is mere
humbug and balderdash. AS an elevat-
ing factor on the masses our present
school system is gigantic fraud. 1t
makes individuals of the lower classes
brassy- checked and presumptuous. but
does not in the least better their con-
dition sociologically. Its effect on the
criminal classes. on the contrary, is to
sharpen instruments of crime which
will be used against society. What we
need are less politics and more manual
training in our schools. The manual
training and industrial schools of the
country, by teaching the rising genera
ton to ply trades, are proving one of
the greatest factors of the day III the
solving Of our Industrial questions and
he lettering of the condition OF the
masses
When Prof. Laughlin says that "the
influence of the public school system of
the United States on our political and
social conditions is practically MIL" he
talks sheer nonsense. The fulness of
time is conclusively demonstrating that
the ..free school," at its best, IS very
far from being a political and sociologi-
cal cure-all but the situation is not
to be improved by the professional die
tum. that "tlie system is q gigantic
fraud"
The virginian-Pilo knows of nothing
more vicious than the species of snob-
berry that has become rooted in some of
our educational institutions, and which
finds expression in Prof. Laughlin's
contemptuous declaration that the pub
lie school makes the lower classes
brassy checked and presumptuous.
The basis OF this creed would seem to
be the assumption that the American
people are, or should be. composed of
rigid classes, the lower of which need
not and should not know anything be-
You'd the proper way to handle the pick
Z and shovel, the saw and hammer, the
lathe and the loom. The immense and
vital importance of their knowing these
things is conceded, but it would be in
tetesting to have Prof, Laughlin prove
that 1t is mere "humbug and bladder
dash" to say that q knowledge OF
( things beyond his daily calling makes
the workman less efficient.
a little examination of this deliver
ance OF Prof. Laughlin easily discloses
the nostulate that the public school,
should develop an efficient working ma
chine while ignoring the human quail
ties OF IT.. and the immensely important
fact that the workman is also u citizen
