Botha About to Surrender.

London, Aug. 17.-The Sun today
says it hears that the consolidation of
Gen. Botha's forces at Hondweni, on
the borders of Zululand, announced in
a dispatch from Durham last night, does
not foreshadow fight with Botha, but
his surrender, in pursuance with an IN
derstanding reached between Gen. Bo-
tina and Lord Kitchener The Sun adj
mits that the government is so satisfied
that the war is virtually over that Lord
Miner, now on his way back to South
Africa, has in his pocket the draft Of a
complete constitution and plans for the
future government of the. annexed ter

because Sampson happened to be
off chasing trivialities at that supreme
moment IN his life, when years Of pa
tient work would haYe illuminated in a
burst of glory, his too jealous friends
have sought to belittle the battle itself
and to magnify the Importance of the
blockade. Richard Harding Davis,
bringing up the rearguard of his fol-
lowers, gives their contention in SEN
tence, smuggled into short story,
when he makes reporter say: He's

DN NJ LOVE CARTER,
This pansv with its wide, soft eve.
And tender lashes dropping Ger,
Brings to memory's haunted cells
Dreams of thee and yore.
Your eyes were wide and soft and
dark,
And trustful, too, with bluo-veined lids
That lower, lower, lower crept,
Until the glories of your eyes were hid.
l loved you so, in that glad time
That mad, glad time, that was but pain.
Yea, widest, fiercest, deepest pain,
And then-was JOY again.
Twas Joy to hold you close'to me,
And feel your heart throb, throb with
mine,
Twas Joy to look into your eyes,
And then-those lips of thine
Twas pain to hold you closely there,
And know that we, of ALL must part,
And yet you closer, closer crept,
And hid your face upon my heart.
Those days are gone, and we are not
Together as we used to be,
And yet you sometimes think of me,
And II always think Of thee.
Veal think of thee and live for thee
And love but thee eternally,

Chicago ffeSoEd
The Minneapolis primary-election law en-
ables the voter to become a direct factor
IN making nominations. Under IL primary
elections must be held by both parties on
the first day OF registration. political
party is held to be an organization which
casts 10 per cent. of the total vote at the
last general election. One ballot for each
marty participating in the election is given
IN the voter as soon as he has registered.
Each ballot contains the names of all the
candidates seeking to be nominated by that
particular party. The voter indicates by
crosses his choice OF candidates, and he
must mark only one ballot. which he then
deposits in a box. returning the other bal
lot or ballots to the election officers. The
PERSONS receiving the highest number of
Votes are held TO be the duly nominated
candidates OF their respective parties. The
law does not do away with warn clubs. CEN
trail committees. delegates and conventions.
Conventions can be held. but party conven-
tfons must place their candidates on the
party ballots by petitions signed by not less
than per cent OF the voters of the party.
Every convention nominee, however. con-
fronts the possibility OF having his nominal
ton contested by voters who are not salts
nee with the action or the convention. The
effect Is that conventions feel compelled to
respect the wishes of the party voters and
make nominations that will not provoke
the rank and file OF the party into con-
testing the nomination at the primary cleo
ton.

Of-The Lackey Sale at Cam

The first day of the horse show and sale
at the Union stockyards offered nothing
sensational either in the way of horses or
prices. The animals put up for sale were
of medium grade, as a general thing
when the high class of the sale is taken
into consideration There were few very
good animals sold, however, principally
family drivers. The higher grade cata-

and tomorrow, and 1t is expected that
something unusual in the matter of prices
will be recorded to the credit Of the In

No Reform school for Truant..

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Public educators. like other people, may
become fanatics, and at no other time
in the history of State has this ap-
peared to be the case more than il does
at present. Law-making bodies should look
with suspicion upon the attempt of some
public educators TO have passed COM
pusory education law which will send a
child TO the reform school, for truancy.
Such a law would be not only unjust,
but unscientific and those who are ad-
vocating such a piece of legislation are
surely not following the methods of the
Great Teacher" Any one who has taken
particular notice of the methods now in
vogue among teachers cannot but observe
that the instructors seem to spend most
OF their energy in seeing that they have
a good report for average OF attendance.
and seemingly not caring about the devel-
opment of the individual pupil. If educa-
tors would pay more attention TO the SAN
itary condition of the schooroom, striv-
ing to cause the school TO be an attrac-
ton instead of spending time in endeav
oring to have the State pass a law that
will place their children In a reform
school, where they will come in contact
often with those who have criminal in
stincts and eventually cause them TO term
educator and the coming generation also.
/ cannot imagine Indiana having a law
that will send a child to prison for tru-
ancy. There are too many instances now
OF indolent parents seeking an excuse TO
place their children in the reform school.
IL is not the object OF this common
wealth to make criminals, but healthy,
broad minded. Christian men and women.
We should have more humane law
than one that would imprison a Juvenile
offender for truancy. IL would appear more
humane to have a law which would force
the school trustee 10 see that all able
bodied children attend school. and the
parents be held responsible If in the past
we should have convicted children of tru-
ancy and sent them To reform school,
some OF our great men would have been
criminals | fear. As an example, Samuel
Drew was a Ounce. VIGOROUSLY given TO
mischief. ana playing truant. but he ended
as minister and great writer of good
books. The State should hesitate upon
passing such fierce law. We must con-
Jess weakness IL we can control our youth
only by imprisonment.
