AN HONEST MAN.



AKRON, o., Dec. T.-Word was received
here to-day that David r. Paige. of New
York, has paid the last dollar of his indebt-
edness. The report was verified by City
Commissioner A. T. Paige, of this city, a
brother of David r. Paige, who said to-
day: lit is true that my brother has sue
ceeded in freeing himself from debt. The
remaining four notes of Paige, Carey & Co.
were lifted Monday, and 1 assure you that
il was a pleasant time for my brother. All
except five of the notes were lifted a year
ago. but the entire task was completed
Monday. 1t was a gigantic undertaking to
wipe out a debt of $4,000, but Mr.. Paige
accomplished il. and now he proposes to
take a short rest j received a letter from
him the other day. and he expressed much
joy i'm accomplishing what he has. He is

THE END OF PUBLIC EDUCATION.

An abstract of one of the papers read in
one of the teachers meetings on Wednes-
day gives the impression that the author
is disposed to look with disfavor upon the
introduction of manual training as a part
of the public school system. 1t is not the
purpose of the Journal to criticise, but it
is fair to say that the drift and sentiment
of schools generally do not recognize the
real fact that the larger part of the people
In this country must earn their livelihood
by some labor which is more or less
manual.
Such being the case, why should not the
instruction in the higher grades of public
schools prepare the young for the inevi-
table work of life? The least that could be
lone would be to apprise them of this fact
and to try to impress upon them that lives
can be as successful in the workshop and
on the farm as i'm the professions which
are row held up as the only objects which
young men should seek. Doubtless there
is not so much of it now as years ago, when
the officials who visited schools in their
addresses always melted pupils to study

life. school officials at the present time
are probably not so unwise as were those
who visited country schools years ago,
nevertheless. the tendency of teaching and
Of the influence about the school. which

that a fair education from books will en-
able those who have II TO obtain light en-

young men and women applying for places

against a public school education that will

should be to fit the young for the real work

The speech of Mr.. Bryan will attract at
tention because he distinctly sets forth all
the theories he has ever advocated-bi-
metallism. or 16 to 1, and free trade, in adj
dition TO all the heresies of Populism en-
braced in the Chicago platform of 1896 and
reaffirmed in the Kansas City platform.
The Democracy to which Mr.. Bryan will
belong in the future must espouse all the
heresies of which he has been the leading
exponent for more than four years. And in
this Mr.. Bryan is logical. When he re-
nounces Organism. which is the embodi-
he commits political suicide. Mr.. Bryan is
not that sort of man. Not only do Mr..
Bryan and his principles stand together,
but for them Mr.. Bryan will attempt to
control the Democratic party.
1t is different with Hon. John W. Kern.
Since he repudiated his sound-money prin-
ciples to stay with his party, Mr.. Kern is
for any sort of heresy that is Endorsed by
a Bryan convention. Like James Russell
Lowelrs doughface in the "Biglow Papers"
Mr.. Kern may be said to glory in havin'
nothin' o. the sort" He takes occasion TO
praise David b. Hill, ex-Secretary Olney,
ex-senator German and even Bourke Cock
ran. simply because they are supposed TO
have voted for Mr.. Bryan, evidently forget
full that not one of them has ever Endorsed
the essential features of the Democratic
platforms of 1896 and 1900. If Mr.. Kern
does not know it he does not know as much
as many others in and out of the Demo-
cratic party, namely. that the leaders he
mentioned in his speech are hostile to Mr..
Bryan and to his platform. and only nomi-
nally remained with him this year in the
certainty of his defeat. These men and all
the Democrats who have a part in the af-
fairs of the world do not any longer regard
Mr.. Bryan as a party leader. if they ever
did. They know, even if Mr.. Kern, who
assumes to speak for them, does not, that
Mr.. Bryan can never lead the Democratic
party to victory. Neither do they love Mr.
Bryan, because they hold him responsible
for the overwhelming defeats of two sue
cessive elections. If Mr.. Kern believes what
he said of Mr.. Bryan he is not in accord
with a growing and influential element in
the Democratic party i'm Indiana. Further
more, the element which Mr.. Kern did not
represent at the Bryan banquet will control
the party in 1904 and elect a delegation that
will not vote for Mr.. Bryan.

That Governor Pingree has a grudge against

There rave been and will be cases where
executive clemency may be exercised in

OF passion. where both the slayer and the
victim are engaged in a struggle, there
may be extenuating circumstances which
would warrant the exercise OF executive
clemency. But there pardoning should stop.
Such pleas as reformation, dying OF con-
sumption or the care of parents should
have no weight, not because ii Is necessary
to punish the individual but to punish the
crime OF life-taking. To make life secure.
the taking Of it should be punished as the
greatest of crimes. II this is not done.

that they would not if premeditated muir

such and such an occasion is often the his

Questions of considerable Interest
Discussed by Them.

The Indiana Academy OF Science began
its fifteenth annual meeting In the agri-
cultural rooms at the Statehouse yester-
day. In the morning the several sections OF
the academy met in general session and the
afternoon was devoted to section meetings.
The meeting was Intended by workers i'm
science from all parts of the State. The first
and one of the most interesting papers on
the programme was read by DIR. Robert
HessIer, of Logansport, on Preliminary
Notes on Mosquitoes and Malaria He said
the most deadly malar.ous districts of the
earth were the Roman Campagna and the
Isthmus OF Panama. He said that formerly
malar.al fever was very much restricted i'm
it's distribution, hut II has spread out more
and more as the years have gone by. The
cause, he said, was discovered and de-
scribed twenty years ago. Ii is a plasmodi-
um that lives in the blood at the expense

December.

When the feud Of hot and cold
Leaves the autumn woodlands bare;
When the year is getting old.
And flowers are dead, and keen the air;
When the crow has new concern,
And early sounds his raucous note:
And-where the late witch-hazels burn
The squirrel from a chuckling throat
Tells that one larder's space is filled.
And tits upon a towering tree;
And. valiant. quick, and keenly thrilled.
Up starts the tiny chickadee;
When the suns still shortening arc
Too soon nights shadow dun and gray
Brings on. and fields are drear and dark,
And summer birds have flown away
/ feel the years slow-beating heart,
The sky's chill prophecy / know;
And welcome the consummate art
Which weaves this ~spotless shroud of snow

The reports OF insufficient postal service
during the past week are due TO the rush
OF the Christmas season and can scarcely
be avoided. The wonder is that the service
l. as really efficient as it is. when mail mat
ter Is deposited by wagon loads and re-
ceived on the same scale. In several of
these complaints is the statement OF the
neagerness OF the compensation Of a class
Of employees. particularly the clerks inside
p~cstofices. Men of high intelligence are
needed to MI those positions. but their
compensation is really Inadequate for the
service they render. If o~ne-fourth the
money which the Postal Department loses
oy the carriage of bogus second-cIass mat
ter could be paid postofice clerks they
would be well remunerated. and tons of
stuff would either drop out OF the mails or
pay a fair rate of postage.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
The Session Closes with the Reading

The county superintendent of the State
brought their meeting to a close with yes
terday afternoons session. The entire ses-
sion, yesterday morning, was taken up with
a discussion of a paper read by DR.. j. n.
Hurry on "What Can Be Done TO Make
Sanitary Our School Property that Is Too
Valuable to Abandon DR.. Hurry said the
health of the school children was too
precious to endanger and there was great
need of proper sanitary conditions In
schoolhouses. He said in many instances
schoolhouses were poorly lighted and had
a very damaging effect on the eyes of the
students. The doctor suggested that school,
houses should be lighted from one side
only, instead of having windows all around,
as in the case of most of the present build
ings. In conclusion DR.. Hurry said that all
s~choolhouses that were %unsanitary and
could not be made sanitary should be torn
down and new ones built in their place.
The principal paper of the afternoon ses-
sion was read by A. l.. Gary, OF Rush
county, on County Institutes Super
vised and Controlled by the State.
Both Mr.. Gary and Superintendent
Esarey, who followed with a dis
cussion of the same subject, expressed
themselves as being very much opposed TO
INV W D4oD ia IA AAAiS ttS NCoAt -
stitutes over to the supervision of the State.
They both insisted that the institute should
be left in control of the superintendent, as
they were directly in touch with the teach
ers and knew their needs.
Superintendent Elijah Mcfarland. of
Martin county, read an interesting paper
on What Should Constitute the Minimum
Scholarship and Training OF a Rural
School Teacher Mr.. Mcfarland said that
no teacher was qualified to teach in a rural
school with less than a four years course
in the high school or its equivalent.
The last paper on the programme was
read by Superintendent Ellis A. Andrew.
of Miami county, on the Question OF
Teachers Morals" He said that il was alb
solutely imperative that a teacher should
possess good morals. The teacher. he said,
was a model for his pupils, and they un-
consciously followed in his footsteps. he
said that a teacher should not only be
moral. but should be industrious and eco
nomic, as ii would be the best incentive for
the pupils TO acquire the same habits,
These requisites. he said, were absolutely
necessary in every teacher, and applicants
that lacked them should be denied a H.
cenSe.
After the programme had been completed
a short business session was held. at which
the superintendent resolved not to recon-
mend uniformity in high school textbooks
A resolution was also adopted TO the effect
that no teacher going from one county 70
another shall be given. a grade of success
before obtaining a license to teach In the
county to which he goes.
The superintendent Will meet again next
June.

The case of Professor Stanley, an edu-
Gated but impoverished Porto Rican who
has been barred from landing at New York
by the immigration authorities. brings up a
new phase of the Porto Rscan question. In
this phase 1t is not a question of tariff
duties or dollars and cents. but of humanity
and personal rights. II a Porto Rican can
be excluded from the United States on the
ground Of poverty alone. then every State
in the Union hould begin to quarantine
against the rest on the same ground.
