PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND THEIR. DE
EECTS,

The Chicago papers, notably the
Record Herald, are discussing the
public schools, and the range of stud
les that are attempted in the system.
There seems to be a concensus of opin-
ion among the newspapers in favor of
a reorganization of the system, which
will include a reduction of the number
of studies, and concentration upon
geography, arithmetic, history. and
English literature. Thirty or forty
years ago, students were required to
bay particular attention to orthog-
raphy, to spelling, to the Elementary
Spelling Book and the Dictionary. Dur
ing recent years, scholars have drop
ped orthography and have been requir-
ed to undergo multiplied examinations
in Latin, algebra, geometry and some
times in the German language. Spell.
ing correctly is a homely accomplish,
ment, but how would student &C
iquire correct knowledge of the de
rivation of words unless the student
can spell according to established us
age, based upon the origin of words

lent in their way, but the question is
being seriously asked whether or moi
they attempt too much. In seeking TIC

eater is liable to become a fiend who
will break out as murderer without
warning or provocation. The Iowa
Legislature at it's next session, should
pay special attention to the cocaine
habit. 1t should be suppressed by the
strong arm of law and public opinion.

HON. JAMES c. DAVIS.

The selection of Hon. James G.
Davis of Keokuk, as temporary chair
man of the republican state conven-
ton, will meet the enthusiastic ap-
proval of the republicans of this part
Of Iowa, and after the convention is
over the delegates from every portion
of the state will concede that the Sc
lection was wise one. Mr.. Davis is
prominent and successful attorney
at-law, is straight-out and enthusiasts
tic republican, and has the happy fac
ulty of making friend of almost ev'
cry person with whom he comes in
contact Mr. Davis is the kind of ma
terial Of which governors and United
States senators are, or at least should
be made, and far stranger things have
happened than that the approaching
republican state convention should
with practical unanimity determine
after listening to Chairman Davis ad
dress. that this is just the man that
the state of Iowa wants for governor
and then and there nominate him BY
reclamation.

She must teach civics with all the

Muskegon, Mich, April rs. = Mrs.
Ann Lee, who has lived in three cen
turtles. is 101 years old today. She
was born in Armagh, Ireland.
Mrs. Lee has been twice married,
and is the mother of eleven children,
of whom only two are living-Mrs.

whom she resides, and son, James
Kane, whose whereabouts are I'M

Mrs. Lee has always enjoyed excel

at the age of seventy-five years, she
was sturdy and active. She remained
SO until ten years ago, when she suf-
fered an attack of grip. Since then
she has not been so active, and her
hearing is somewhat impaired now.
Her other senses, however, are in a
healthy and normal condition.

The decision handed down by the
United States supreme court on April
16, seems to forecast what will be
the decision in the Porto Rican cases.
The court, through Justice Brewer
found in brief that the placing OF
stamps upon export bills of lading, al
though intended only for revenue pur.
poses, was discrimination against ex
ports and hence was unconstitutional
So, it seems. that the supreme court
will at the proper time render a de
cision that although goods may leave
the United States free of all duties, a
duty imposed at Porto Rico is the
same in substance as an export duty
and is therefore void

NOTES OF WARNING.

Stocks have advanced rapidly in
the New York market. The public
has caught the speculative fever and
one of these days there will be a drop
in the stock market and this will be
followed by a stringency in financial
circles. The United States treasury
officials have warned the country in
advance of the prospect of stock
panic in Wall street, but the specula-
tive fever goes on just the same. Chi
cago bankers are taking warning and
trimming their sails for the storm
that may or may not come, but it ls
threatened all the same. Close OBJ
servers note that western money has
been going east during the past few
days. The country is oognizant of the
fact that there have been recent
heavy shipments of gold to Europe
through Lazard, Freres and other in.
ternational financiers. There is no le-
gitimate cause for a panic, and there
will be none except it is caused by ex-
cessive speculation, but no matter
what may be the cause, it is well to be
forearmed with the facts and know
ledge of the probabilities.
Henry Clews, who for years has told
the world through the columns of the
newspapers the situations as he saw
them, and has drawn conclusions very
near the truth, gives voice to the fol

AMERICAN AND BRITISH PEN
SlONS.

We, of the United States, have been
accustomed to boast of the pension sys-
tenn of this government as the most lib
eral on earth. There is no country 9th
er than Great Britain, with which to
make comparisons and it will astOnish
many of our own people to know that
England deals more literally with her
disabled soldiers than the United
States. The Duke of Marlborough, in
the house of lords, has recently given
system, which is comprised in the fol
lowing paragraph:
Partially disabled soldiers now re
ceive a maximum pension of one shil
ling and sixpence (nearly 40 cents) 9
day. and minimum of twelve cents
day; and now for the first year they
get the maximum pension in all cases
and after year their cases are recon
sidered and pensions granted on &
scale suitable to their general condi
ton. 1t is we'll too, that the soldier
discharged for disease incurred while
serving with the army in the field
should be put on the same footing al
his comrade disabled through wounds
The Union soldier does not always
get So per month, and those who re
ceive $12 month under the act of dis
ability, are esteemed fortunate. Ths
British soldiers, however, receive near
ly 40 cents day, which is about $14.6C
per month, as against $12 per month
the maximum of the ordinary disabled
soldier of the Union. 1t has been the
fashion during the recent years to at
tack the pension system of our owr
government on the grounds that it ii
too liberal, and 1t is high time that thil
accusation should be met and refuted
If Great Britain can afford to pay ovel
$14 per month to her disabled soldiers
for their services in foreign wars anc
In wars of conquest, what should tht
United States pay to those who risket
their lives in a struggle for the per
petuity of the government.
