dustrial interests, his plurality was
fairly cut in two, though the popular
uprising against Croker and Croker
ism largely offset the effort of Croker
to assist Bryan.
There is in all this lesson which
Mr.. Mckinley will do well to heed. He
is not in himself a strong man; he is
the medium through which strong
forces operate. His nature is plastic,
his habit is to yield, and his will power
is a negligible quantity. AS one result
of his pliancy and opportunism we have
now to deal with problem resulting
from the lack of a settled and enlight-
ened policy in the Philippines. AS an
other result we are face to face with
the serious problem involved in the
steady growth of certain tendencies
looking to the Capitalization of wealth
by improper means and for improper
purposes. Up to the present time this
administration has shown no well-de-
fined perception of its duty in the mat
ter of the trust problem, and still less
has it shown any purpose to take any
effective action thereon. The trusts
which hold no special privileges and
which are not oppressive and the trusts
which owe their very existence to IA
voritism and bad legislation have all
been grouped in the same class and
treated with uniformly tender regard
by the obliging administration. Those
measures of publicity, of tariff reform
and of reform in discrimination in rail
way rates which should divide the two
classes, leaving unharmed the benef-
cial combination which rest on su-
perior products and low prices TO con-
sumers and curbing those which are
harmful, seemed to have formed no
part of the administration pro-
9ramme.
Mr.. Mckinley has yet to make him
self known as an earnest friend of
measures beneficial to the great mass
of the people as distinguished from the
interests of the few who have power
and infiuence.-Chicago Record Gnd).

We shall expect to hear now of
the immediate cessation of hostilities
in the Philippines. You know the
natives were only fighting until they
could hear that Mr.. Mckinley was re-
elected. Davy Crockett's coon was

naldo has been expected to exhibit in

1 public schools. and the State should
 never occupy the anomalous position of | forcing a public school upon a commit | nlty that does not want 1t, while 1t | forbids another community to tax it. self to supply its educational needs.
 Another important consideration
 should be kept in mind. So long as
 the cities, towns and districts of the
 State must look to the Legislature for
 the support of their schools, there is
 little incentive to local effort. Do you
 encounter indifference to school mat
 ters at home? Do you complain of
 topics. and the want of educational in-
 terest throughout the State? These conditions are not hard to explain. You may talk school matters to your peo- pie. but there Is nothing they can do; they have no voice in the question of school maintenance. Apathy and in- difference to school matters must con tinue so long as the State persists in trying to educate the children from the. Capitol, in fighting illlteracy at long range. while the people must sit at home with shackeled hands. powerless to help themselves. What we need ia the incentive of self-help, the stimulus of local power. If the schools of Ala bama are to be appreciably improved 1t must be through the power of local initiative and the spur of local respon- sibility. The school question Is a lccaI problem, and we need to bring the power nearer the problem. It is import ant that the Legislature shall be inter- ested, but 1t is more important that the people shall be interested. It Is important that the Legislature shall be sympathetic and liberal, but 1t is more important that we have sympa- thetic and liberal communities, with power to act up to their ideals of right. and their conviction of their

weak Under such conditions taxation will always be feared: however reason able the purpose and however small the amount, taxes levied by any but the people themselves will be regarded with
 suspicion. This malady- which we may
 call 'taxiphobia' Is survival of me- diaeVal despotism; for the last twen- ty-fiye years our Constitutional inhi- bitions and legislative prerogatives in Alabama have kept the people in an acute stage of this disease. The chief reason for these conditions. 1t Is true, is found in the need of suffrage re- form. With this vital question settled. the next step should be the restoration of sovereignty to the people, in the right to levy their own school taxes, for their own benefit and development. Thus only will the people of our State be relieved of this perpetual dread of taxation and distrust of their repre- sentatives.
 The only objection that has ever been urged against local taxation for schools Is based upon the fear and distrust of the people. The masses of the people, if is said, are not only ignorant and unpatrictic. but are also non-taxpayers. They will prove tCo ready to vote an excessive rate of taxation, and thus teopardize the rights of property by the heavy burdens imposed upon 1t. The objection is peSsimistic in the cX- treme; it Is founded upon want of faith in the masses and strikes at the very root of democracy. It is a re- markedly strange dilemma we have in Alabama. The people are afraid of the taxing power and the taxing power is afraid of the people. Alabama Is the only State in the Union that does not grant to the people the right of local taxation for schools. The most pros porous States are those that. trust the people implicitly in this matter. and have no Constituticnal limit to their local school tax. Are the people of AL

Phillips of Birmingham was asked to lead in the discussion which he did with his usual grace and force.
 He was followed by Prof. Wilson and Prof. Benson,
 At this point Prof. Thach stated that Prof. Arnold's paper had been sent to him and on motion It was ordered to be printed in the minutes without being read.
 Prof. Thach and Prof. Dewberry spoke briefly in behalf of better school buildings in Alabama.
 Prof. S. c. Cunningham offered the following resolution:

 Superintendent I. W. McAdory of Birmingham offered the following reso- lution which was received:
 Resolved that while we regret that the State Examining Board has found any evidence of fraud or dishonesty on the part of applicants for licenses to teach in the public schools of our State. we do hereby endorse their ac- tion in declining to issue certificates to applicants whose purposes in any uncertain way bear the evidence of

Address by Dr. Phill;ns

pr. J. H. Phillips. suSRrintendent of the Birmingham Public School system, spoke on Local Option in Taxation for Schools
 ''The time is peculiarly inopportune for the discussion of constitutional questions" said Dr. Phillips. The old Constitution is in that uncertain stage of existence which may be fittingly de- scribed by the phrase. hanging be- tween life and death;' the new is in the midst of its 'birth-t -throes, and may die 'aborning.' Even though it should come to life no man can now pronounce upon it's promising characteristics or point out it's probable defects.
 Local taxation for school purposes is an old question in Alabama; 1t has been discussed on the floor of this as- sociat.on for nearly twenty years; res- olutions in favor of the measure have been passed time and again, not only by the State Association but by Coun- ty institutes throughout the State. Since 1885 large number of local leg islative acts have been passed, looking to the relief of various communities that wanted to tax themselves for the education of their children. The fail- ura of these efforts induced the friends

 Considerable discussion arose over the introduction of a resolution that the Nominating Committee be elimi- mated from the list of committees and that the officers of the State Associa- tion shall be elected from the floor.
 Many amendments and substitutes were offered bpt at the conclusion the matter remained as 1t was before.
