Press, succeeds to its business and good
will It is another illustration of the
fact that an established newspaper can
not be disturbed in its prosperity, ex-
cept from within. The publishers Of the
Press have suspended its publication be
cause they have found that there is
room in Indianapolis and its territory
for only one complete, high-grade 2-cent
evening newspaper. and Indianapolis IS
a city of 169, 900 people and the territory
surrounding it is populous. The News has
filed that field SO well that the ably
conducted Press, with splendid financial
backing. could not cut into its business.
Many thousands of dollars we're expend-
ed in demonstrating this fact. The case
is not singular. Other cities have wit
messed similar attempts to compete with
well established newspapers with like
results. The Indfanap0l incident is
worthy of special note because the en-
terprise was started In a very rich and
populOus field, was conducted by news
paper men of acknowledged ability and
lengthy experience and was backed up

CUE pUTY 10 CURA

1t is reported that by a vote of "a to
the Cuban constitutional convention
has refused to accept the conditions en-
bodied in the so-called Plat amend
ment. That amendment, it may be re-
membered, was Incorporated during the
closing days Of congress in the army APP
preparation bill and having been APP
proved by the president it is now bind
ing on the United States government as
any other law on the statute book. This
rejection topples over the card house of
confidence which General Wood. Secre-
tary Root and several of our congress-
men have been building to the effect
that the Cubans would accept the
amendment.
1t is now charged that the members
Of the Cuban constitutional convention
are paid $40 per day and are killing time
in order to prolong the session and their
action viii have a tendency to cause
new questions to arise which viii give
them additional time and salary. Again
it is said that the chief objection to the
Plat amendment is that it defeats the
looting Of the Cuban treasury through
bond issues by the men who hope to be
in control when an independent govern
ment is established.
But through it all it must be remem-
bered that the amendment was man
datory and fairly bristled with shall
nevers, shall nots." shall bes." etc.
and is directly in contravention to our
pledge to get out of Cuba on the "pacifi-
cation thereof" It is binding on the
president and he cannot nullify it if he
would and so the commission that is
headed for the United States to plead
with Mr.. Mckinley might better stay
at home.
All the Cubans can do IS to refuse to
accept the terms offered and decline to
embody them in treaty. It IS to con-
gress the Cuban appeal for actual indie
pendence must be made for it was con-
gress that tied up the hands of the
president as well as the future of Cuba
The Cuban conventions action does not
mean that the negotiations are closed but
it is a warning that negotiation should be
conducted as negotiation and not as die
tation. The Cubans like any other ma
ton worthy the name have their ideas.
They have fought fer independence and
a passionate desire to attain it, If only
for a day no doubt they desire to see
their flag float over Moro Castle in token
of a fact that they are a free people.
Then let them petition congress to
carry out the pledge Of the Teller reso-
luton, and 50 bring the matter before
the American people who will undoubt-
edly see Justice done them.

DON'T CROWD THE SCHOOLS.

The question of overcrowded school
rooms Is being agitated in New York.
1t is a question of vital Importance to
Topeka as we'll The city schools have
been crowded. in many instances, but it
is to the credit of the school board to
say that in many cases the fault is be-
ing remedied. It should be more than
a remedy, the 1essening Of the number
Of scholars in one room under one teach
er, it should be a rule that no more
than certain number Of scholars
should be instructed by one teacher, and
that number should be placed as low as
possible.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. O'Brfen, president of the
New York board of education, has
placed the number for one room at 40.
Recently Mr.. O'Brien said Il wish the
time were at hand when we could limit
the number Of pupils in the class room
to IS No teacher can do justice to so
children The individuality Of the teach
er is lost in these large classes. and the
best results cannot possibly follow. I'm
der the circumstances teachers must do
the best they can. But one of the ideals
in our school that I look forward to is
the class room where the number of
pupils will not be too large to prevent
teachers with individuality from i'm
pressing it on each and every child. We
need more of that individual care for
the backward pupils"
The trend seems to have been for
large school rooms and in many cases
school rooms with accommodations for
more pupils than a teacher can care
fully instruct, has been the result. The
majority of the school rooms in our city
have about As pupils, some more. some
less The question of the number Of
scholars to be accommodated in each
room is one of considerable moment and
has been rather carefully considered by
our board of education but it is well
to keep in mind Mr.. O'Brien's idea. It
would hardly be possible to have too
small a number of pupils in one room.

WHAT IS SOCIALISM,

The meaning of Socialism is point
upon which many people differ. There
are those who confound the socialist
with the anarchist
A socialist may be considered any
thing from a wild-eyed bomb thrower
to the harmless long-haired Individual
who talks and talks of the halcyon days
when everybody will be like everybody
else If. wealth and disposition and ev-
erything else.
a lengthy discussion of this much
debated subject was started a few
days ago by an editorial writer of the
New York Journal. Following is his
first article:
There is nothing more stupid and, of
court, more unprOductive than the mis-
called socialism which advocates a di-
vision of property, equality Of reward
and so on.
OF course, some day we shall all have
all that we need and we shall be too
civilized to want anything more. But
so long as our efforts are based on per-
sonal ambition and greed, to talk of
equal rewards is nonsense, and to bring
about equal rewards would be most
harmful to the world
But real socialism. that great futelli-
gent movement which aims to improve
social conditions and to wipe out unjust
discrimination in laws, opportunities
and privileges, is a great and eternal
power.
It hiss existed on the earth for hun
dreds of centuries You may read in
the strange writings of the old Egyp-
tians protests of Workmen against their
harsh treatment and you may learn in
those quaint angular hieroglyphics that
those men had leaders demanding social
Improvement. Those hieroglyphic rec
ords are records of socialism.
When Louis &I destroyed the power
of the mobiles and enforced community
of weights. measures and money
throughout France he acted as a social
ist
Cromwells movement was socialism
with religion for a basis and moral
courage for motive power.
The American revolution was social
ism pure and simple.
1t was denounced as such by every
respectable element in the country.
The great leaders of the revolution
were socialists and the throwing over
board Of the tea was militant social
ISM with q vengeance.
1t was sociahstic movement that
elected Sam Jones N ayor of Toledo n
few days ago.
1t was a socialistic movement that
elected Tom Johnson mayor of Eleve-
land.
The greatest political party in Ger
many is the Socialist party. Although
its members are poor men, their .nthu-
siasm makes up for their poverty. and
the fund which they raise annually in
their political campaign exceeds any
other in the empire
Nine-tenths of all recent legislation in
Europe is socialistic
The legislation in Ireland which de-
prives the landlord practically of all
his rights transferring them to the
tenant is absolute socialism and of a
most admiral bic kind
No thinking man can afford to ignore
the great social moven ents Of the world
which are constantly gaining in force.
No man. of course, save the stupid
creature who lives for his own full
stomach, is satisfied with the actual So
cial conditions. Every body hopes for a
