SENATOR VESTS SUCCESSOR.
GOvernOr-Elect DOckery of Missouri
Said to Aspire to the Place.

| Alexander Monroe Dockery. Governor
J elect Of Missouri, is credited with de-
sire to succeed George Graham Vest as
Senator. Mr.. Vests term will expire
| March g. 1903. He kSs declared to his
friends that he will not be candidate
| for reelection. and they are disposed to
| take him at his word Mr.. Vest has been
a member of the upper house since 1879.
| He is not in robust health and frequently
during his present term has expressed
the determination to return to private
| life. While the Democratic leaders Of
| Missouri cannot be certain that Mr. Vest
will not change his mind before 1903. they
assume that the state of his health VIII
force him to make good his assertions OF
his intentions to retire, and they are
quietly casting about for man to I'LL his
Shoes
Mr.. Dockery. who is now in Washing
ton to attend the celebration OF the one
hundredth anniversary of the establish
ment of the seat of government in the
District of Columbia. is being talked OF
by Missourians here as the logical can
didate for the Senatorship. He has been
in public life many years. having begun
his career in Congress in 1884. His con-
nection with the House Committee en-
Appropriations served to give him a.
tional reputation. MIR. Dockery's deter
mination to run for Governor Of Missouri
is said by some of his friends to be due
to his belief that the governorship would
present shorter path to a seat n the
Senate than would continuance in the
lower house. He will have served Two
years as Governor by the time Senator
Vest concludes his present term, plenty
of time to get n firm grasp on aHairs
Democratic in Missouri and to lay pipe
for the Vest succession. Mr.. D0ckery
has demonstrated first-class political
ability and if he shall strive for the
Senatorship his friends have confidence
that he will succeed. provided. of course,
that Senator Vest shall not again be N
the field.
In line with this gossip is the report
that there Is strong sentiment on the
Democratic side Of the Senate in favor OF
the nomination of Senator Cockrell OF Mis-
souri, for President by the Democrats in
1904. There was talk of nominating Cock
rell a year ago. but it was silenced as 5000
as it became apparent that the party
would have no one but Bryan. Mr.. Cock
rell is a man OF the highest integrity
and ability. and is regarded on both sides
of the Senate chamber and by the coun-
try at large as safe man. His supporters
say that as n Presidential candidate he
would appeal not only to the conservative
class OF the Democratic party, but to the
business element of the country general
ly. An objection which does not appear
to have presented itself to these who are
talking about Mr.. Cockrell in connection
with the Presidential nomination is that
in 1904 he will be seventy years Of age.
He was born in 1894 entered the Senate
in 1879 and has been reelected four times.
His term will not expire until 1905.

Education and Its Effects.

There has. perhaps. never been a time
wnen questions of education were regard
ed with more absorbing interest than at
present. On the one hand are the people
who clamor for more and ever more cdu-
cation, for the extension of the curricu-
lum OF the public school and the multi
plying Of private schools and colleges, and
on the other those who are seriously
questioning whether there is not too
much schooling in the world as it is.
The chances are that both factions have
some right on their side There can hard
ly be too much training for children. if it
is of the right kind, for the main differ
ence between the superior and inferior.
the cultivated and the illiterate man, lies
in training of one kind or another, either
that which has been given the man or
that which he has given himself. But
there is reason to doubt whether the edu-
cation now prevalent is of 4 kind which
will benefit. in the highest possible de-
gree the rising generation.
II is certain that the prime use of edu-
cation of any kind is TO fit the child to
do his work in the world in after years
This statement is a comprehensive one.
II means that he shall be made fit, not
only for manual labor, or intellectual oc.
equations. but that he shall be helped 10
do his part in the creation OF moral and
civic ideals; that he shall take part in the
great movements which make for prog
ress. economic, political, social. and re-
ligious. He is not 4 mere automaton
whose machinery is to be perfected; he is
living, thinking. reasoning being who
is TO be helped to shape his own life in
such way that il will fit into the general
scheme of things.
All this is SO well understood that Il is

which the public school graduate fails TO
