PROGRESS OR pecApeNce.

The cartoon presented on this page of
Roosevelt leading Columbia upward is
well worthy of careful study If one de-
sires to get the substance of the vice
presidents recent thoughtful addresses
he will find it emblazoned on the steps
leading to the goal OF ideal national life.
AS the entire fabric rests on public and
private morality, as pictured on the
first step, one may we'll inquire whether
the nation is making progress or retro
grading. Pessimists will tell you that
the latter is the case and that the foun-
tains of life are being corrupted by the
wide license people take to do doubtful
and wrong acts as result of our unre-
stricted liberty. There are symptoms
of this decadence it is true, and only by
cies can we hope for national security.
Two other steps in this cartoon may
we'll be noticed, the second one of the
citizens duty we'll performed, and the
third OF honesty and ability in public
office. If these three basic planks of
national life could be assured in the flu
ture all else that is desirable in private
and public life would be guaranteed.
All that is desirable in purity of life
and security in civilization are ground
ed upon these fundamental stones.

SUPERIOR AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

instance, has deprecated In less than

year ending June last 1t paid only 81
per cent in dividends, against TX two
years ago. In the face of tremendous
gross earnings. the ratio of dividends
on English rails is continually declining,
.owing to the large ana continued in
crease IN the capital stock account.
In consequence of the English meth

railways has been increasing for q

California Fruits in Europe.

Europe is the carrying Of fresh Califor-

face OF the competition OF the Spanish
and italian fruit growers. A Valencia

appetizing condition than ours and
adds that her fruit growers can only

Americas improved methods of cultiva-
ton. California is a natural fruit gar
den and its crops are far too large to be
consumed in the home markets. For
years, the California orchardist has
been seriously considering the foreign
demand, and many wonderful schemes
have been devised to ship fresh fruit
abroad. California prunes have gener-
ally, taken the place Of the French ar

cultivated until they have reached a

STATE ADOPTION OF BOOKS.


One of the issues to appear before the
next legislature is forecasted by the re-
port from Des Moines that Superintend-
ent Sheakly, of the West Des Moines
high school and chairman of the legisla-
tive committee of the State Teachers
Association, is at work preparing bill
for state uniformity of text books which
will do away with the county adoption
system. Any system which will avoid
the scandals that have darkened the po-
litical skies in many an Iowa county
this year will be hailed with delight, but
there will always remain the opportuni-
ty for bribery and dishonest dealing

pany's money now often figures in the

except in far greater amounts since
the stakes would be higher.
There is probably no business of sup
more scandal than is the text book bust

tons or state adoptions the same stencil

Fer cent of his contract to be used in
securing an adoption is a breeder of cor

with unfailng certainty. However,
while the state board will be subject to
the same weaknesses as the county
board the expense of an army of high
priced agents would be done away with
and text books. corruption and all,
ought to be made cheaper to the tax
payer.
In one county which came under the
direct observation of this newspaper
there were forty agents on the ground
at one time, each agent drawing from
81, 500 to $1,000 per year salary and
spending money SO freely as to indicate
an unlimited expense account. At this

probably similar forces of agents there.
This soliciting expense is enormous. 1t
has to be paid eventually by the tax
payer or the book companies would go
out of business. Granting that corrup-
| ton with a state board would be as
prevalent as with county boards, the
saving in expense by having one single
adoption settle the matter for the entire
state instead of requiring the companies
to fight it out severally in each of the
ninety-nine counties ought to bring
about a great reduction in the retail cost

ALABAMA's NEW CONSTITUTION.
TChicago Record Herald.l

ELAbAMASf NEW CONSTITUTION.
IChicago Record Herald.l
The two features of the new Alabama
constitution which will attract the most
attention are the limitation upon the
regular meetings Of the legislature to a
short session of fifty days once in four
years and the qualifications for the
elective franchise.
A few of the states have legislative
sessions annually, but in the great ma
jority they are held biennially, and the
opinion is pretty general by this time
that frequent meetings are productive
of evil rather than of good The objec-
lions against them are that they cause
an unnecessary expense, that they pro-
mote grating" that they encourage q
demagogical and mischievous interior
ence with the laws when the public and
statutes both need rest.
1t might be urged, on the other hand,
that where the whole legislative body is
elected for four years there is q danger
to public interests because the members
are more independent of the electorate
but they can not escape responsibility,
and when special sessions are urgently
demanded to consider subjects of vital
Importance they will be called. The
point is certainly well taken that we
suffer from too great legislative activ-
ity, and the Alabama experiment will be
watched with hopeful expectancy.
There will be approval also of the fur
Their disbursement of ambitious legis-
lators in those provisions of the consti-
tuition which extend the application of
the home rule principle and restrict the
legislature to the enactment of general
laws.
AS regards the elective franchise 1t is
to be noted that altho there are dis
ordinations in favor of the whites they
will soon begin to lose their force. All
applicants for the voting privilege will
have the same conditions to fulfill after
Jan. 1. 1909. Whites and blacks must be
able to read and write the English Ian
guage and must have small property
qualification or show that they are COM
monty engaged in some lawful occupa-
ton. 1t Is a question of individuals not
of color, and the negroes should feel
great inspiration to prove that they
have the desire and the ability to equip
themselves for the test.
Since the constitution provides for a
large increase in the minimum school
appropriation their educational future is
largely within their own control, and
like the whites they may win property
as the reward of Intelligence and indus
try. If they fail to qualify 1t will not be
for lack OF opportunity.

REDUCTION OF PHILIPPINE FORCES.

On his return to Iowa Congressman
Hull expressed the opinion that it would
be necessary to keep 10000 soldiers in
the Philippines for some time to come
The Louisville Courier-Journal, in no.
ticing this statement, declared that Mr..
Hull had laid himself open to the ques-
tioning of his motives. 1t said: Cen
serious personal and party opponents
are sure to insinuate that his private
interests will be looked out for in the
disposition Of those troops and that they
have perhaps been already SO used"
But 1t is noteworthy that Gen. MacAr-
thur, in an interview at Washington,
expressed the same opinion. He de-
clared that the military force in the
Philippines should not be reduced below
10000 men for several months to come.
He believes that further reduction
could be made early next spring if the
present conditions continue. The neces-
sity for a military force Is not due to
the activity OF the insurgents, but the
persistence OF bands of outlaws and
thieves that prey upon the natives. He
declared that the present conditions in
the Philippine islands are very bright
and that the situation is improving very
rapidly.
I It will be observed that he predicates
redaotion on the continuance Of present
conditions. It 10 hardly probable that .
