THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

The Teachers Institute continues to
move along with interest and good
attendance. The students are down at
old-fashion hard work, for they feel
that the great day" of examination
is drawing nigh. Each instructor
seems enthused with his work, and no
period is dull. The programme was
carried through as usual this afternoon.
The teachers had another treat in the
lecture of Prof. Darah, of the Union
City School. The speakers outlines
were,

marks. Mr. Webb will talk to the
teachers sometime tomorrow in regard
to his work.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The Athenaeum hall was we'll filled
this morning with visitors and teachers
in attendance upon the Institute. The
exercises were opened at o'clock with
reading by Prof. James A. Bostick, of
Mt. Pleasant. Profs. London and

in their respective classes, geography
and photography.

Republican Caucus

The caucus of the Republican men,
bers of the House November Both
lasted about three hours. Speaker
Henderson and the old officers of the
House were made the unanimous
choice of the caucus. The major por-
tion of the time was devoted to an
effort, led by Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa.
to effect changes in the rules of the
last House. Mr.. Hepburn has made
a similar fight for liberalizing the rules
at the opening of each Congress for
several years, but without success, and
was again unsuccessful.
There were 146 of the 1913 Repub-
lican members of the House present.
Mr.. Lacey of Iowa placed General
Henderson in nomination for speaker
and he was unanimously chosen as the
candidate of the caucus. In response
to an enthusiastic reception, Mr.. Hen
derson said:
I'VE are confronted with work which
will affect the minds of the people at
the elections next year. Every Repub-
lican will be upon his mettle. We will
expect the same from the opposition.
There is always more activity at every
Congress preceding a congressional
election than at any other time. We
will require all of the wisdom we pos
sess and all of the patriotism, for we
have great danger to confront us
continually and that is the surplus in
the treasury. appeal to my colleagues,
Republicans, to keep in mind that this
is a danger and if we can be wise in
the presence of that danger, we will
find approval from the American peo-
pie. The American people do not ex-
pect any niggardliness in the'treatment
of the matters that they require.

Wa Ting Fang, the Chinese minister,
called upon President Roosevelt few

Chinese minister emerged from the
White House he declined to tell a
group of newspaper men whether his
government was protesting against the
re-enactment of the exclusion law. "All

Democratic Caucus

The Democratic members of the
House met in caucus at IL o'clock on
the morning of November Both. There
are 151 Democrats and eight fusion
lists, silverites and POpulists. OF these
members of the minority 1876 We're
present, including Mr. Shafroth of Col
orado and Mr.. Newlands. silverites.
Neville and Mr. Stark, Populists. of
Nebraska, declined to enter the caucus.
Without opposition the following se
lections We're made for officers of the
House:
Speaker, Mr. Richardson, Tennessee;
clerk, ex-Representative James Kerr,
Pennsylvania; sergeant-at-arms, ex-
Representative Il. V. Brookside. India
ma: doorkeeper. Charles Edwards,
Texas, and postmaster. James X. Jack
son, Alabama. The selection of Mr..
Richardson as candidate for speaker
clothes him officially with the minor
ity leadership. The four places on the
House roll allowed the minority will
be filed by Isaac Hill of Ohio, assist
ant sergeant-at-arms, and James +.
English of California. FELTON, b. Knight
of Georgia and Ewing Bland, son Of
'Silver Dick" Bland, special employees.
Mr.. Richardson briefly thanked the
caucus for the honor done him and
said:
Il shall not attempt here and now
to discuss or lay down any principles
by which we are to be governed as a
party. 1t would not be appropriate
for me to do so. There Is one thing
however, that l will say now at the

Whatever your station may be here,

stood by you in your time of struggle
for an education. Many Of them toiled
incessantly through long weary years
that you might be possessed OF advan-
tages which they were unable to secure
for themselves. / entreat you not to
forget them. In the end the question
will be, not whether you have achieved
great distinction and made yourselves
known to all the world but whether
you have fitted into the inches God has
assigned you. and have done your work
day by day in the best possible way.
We shall continue in the future, as In
the past, to need great men and wo-
men to fill the most important posi-
tions uncomplainingly and acceptably.
The vital thing is to find out. as soon
as possible. the place In life wherein
you can best serve the world. What
ever position this is, 1t is the highest
position in the sight of God. tremble
to think OF the failures that may come
to some OF you. who are possessed Of
the brightest intellects and capable OF

ject OF success that forbear making

for success are better today than ever

the scattered agricultural communities.
Isolated the people are not, for one Of
the advantages in dealing with them Is
their almost universal custom of living
together in villages and groups. SO that
there is no tracking down the separate
little homesteads situated miles apart,
as in America or England. In ordi-
nary times these villages are left a
good deal to themselves; perhaps the
only government official they see in
the course of the year is the tax col
lector. But there is a sense Of depend
ence nevertheless, and II anything the
least out of the common occurs the
nearest English magistrate is the man
who must be consulted. The head man
of the village may be the recognized
medium of communication, but when
it comes to action his powers are very
limited.
India, in short, Is becoming over
governed and with laws often alien to
the genius Of the people. however ap-
propriate they may seem in the eyes
of modern civilization. Their natural
protectors find themselves of little ac-
count unless they enter into the pre-
vailing occupation Of the well to do
and become grain dealers or merchants
or rivals in some other way of the
ruling race. and their interests they
then imagine to be the continuance of
cheap labor. But until the value of
that is raised to a much higher per-
manent level the people will never be
able to take care of themselves, and
famine will be accompanied with the
same pitiful tales of distress and suf-
fering which no commissions OF in
quiry will ever eradicate.

STEEL WAGON PLANT
WILL GO TO PUEBLO

Denver. Dec. 4.-The Denver Repub-
lican says:
James A. Davis. industrial agent of
the Santa Fe road, has closed arrange
ments with w. H. Schotield, represent
ing the Colorado Steel Wagon Com
pany, by which the latter will begin
at once to put up a $350O00 plant at
Pueblo for the manufacture of steel
wagons. The railroad company has
guaranteed rate that will give the
company the entire area from Kansas
west to the Pacific ocean to work with,
and it is believed that within a few
years it will be one of the big manu-
featuring concerns of the West. The
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company will
furnish the wagon company with the
steel, but beyond this, the two concerns
will be independent of each other
Mr.. Schofield. who controls the pat
ents, was just about to locate at Birm-
ingham, Alabama. when he was diScOv-
cred by Mr.. Davis, who persuaded him
that Colorado was n better place. The
steel wagons are built ON much the
same principle as the pressed steel
cars which are superseding wooden
ones all over the United States. The
wagons are lighter and at the same
time much stronger than those made
of wood, and they will be especially
adapted to the arid region. Orders are
already in hand for large numbers of
the wagons for the borax industry in
southern California. where the best
built wooden wagons fall part after a
years use.

NATIONAL LIVE STOCK.
4 ASSOCIATION MEETING

Chicago, Dec. 4.-The fifth annual
meeting of the National Live Stock
Association began here yesterday with
nearly 500 delegates present.
The convention was called to order

understood that there We're twenty gov
ernors in the city and he invited them

nois was the only governor present,
but Mr.. Springer said the rest of the
distinguished gentlemen would appear

Rev. G.. NJ. Cobern of Chicago offered
a prayer. and Governor Yates and DR..
Howard Taylor, representing Mayor
Harrison, welcomed the delegates on
behalf of the state and of the city. H.
S. Cowan of Texas. responded on be-
half of the cattlemen.
In his annual address President
Springer said:
when we consider that for the past
two years the business transacted in
the mile square occupied by the Chi
cago stock yards and the Chicago pack
ing houses has exceeded by $1,000
600 the entire commercial business of
Chicago, we can then realize what a
gigantic interest is represented in this
men of the United States.
1T was only five years ago, in the
city of Denver, that men interested in
the various branches of live stock bus
mess got together and called a conyen-
ton for the purpose of bringing into. a
national organization the various state
organizations whose members were en-
gagged in the breeding, feeding and
marketing of live stock. / need not
remind you that this National Live
Stock Association then organized has
been a success from the beginning.
During this period or five years we
have brought together into one organ

working capital is over $1,000 100000,

ical influence. if exerted, will reach

strongest feelings of humanity and
willing though they may be to exert
themselves, they may, nevertheless,
make failure where before they
scored success. The great thing is
to understand the people and as off,
cials are constantly being moved about
In the way Of promotion they are apt
to make use of experience previously
gained when they really ought to be
commencing again almost at the bot
tom. This no doubt largely explains
the failures brought to light in the
famine administration a year ago; ter
ribly hard conditions were imposed
where the people were unable to bear
them, and far too easy ones where they
were much more favorably situated.
This at once raised the question
whether 1t is not possibly to govern
so vast country more largely by its
own inhabitants in accordance with It's
own wants and traditions. That does
not mean establishing representative
institutions and placing the mere ma
chinery Of government In the hands OF
the natives; 1t is quite possible. indeed.
that the latter has been done to far
too great an extent already. The low
er branches Of the civil service have
been thrown open and the ambition of
the native seems to be to obtain a
government situation, where he is soon
drilled into all the red tape of the off,
cial class. In this way thousands of
them came to be employed in famine
administration and were much more
reluctant to break through the stipu-
lated regulations than the Englishman.
II they make mistake they run the
risk of being cashiered, whereas an
English official in case OF emergency
always feels at liberty to exercise a
certain amount of discretion. for which
he will not be harshly treated by his
superiors as long as 1t Is not abused.
Work ImperfectIy Done.
But this is not the kind of govern
ment that country like India stands
in need of. Municipal and well regu-
lated institutions are all very well for
the cities and larger towns, but Just
as sledge hammer Is not the proper
instrument for cracking a nut. so these
institutions cease to be applicable to

A Ak

Following the custom OF the past
thirty-fve years, the Indian govern
ment has appointed commission to
inquire into the extent of the recent
famine and the methods adopted for
coping with 1t, having in view the col
lection OF information that may be OF
value in the future. The report of this
commission has just been published,
although it was completed and signed
as early as last May. The excuse given
for Withholding 1t from publication Is
that it would not have been policy to
publish it until the Indian budget had
been passed and Lord George Hamil-
ton offered to the world his recent
glowing panegyric on the prosperity
Of India, which, needless to say, was
taken with very big discount by
everybody who knew anything about
It But it succeeded only too we'll in
the object 1t had in view, namely,
salving the conscience of the British
people. and persuading them to believe
that their administration of India left
little or nothing to be desired.
AS far as the report itself is con-
cerned 1t lacks the Importance of sew
eral OF its predecessors. that of 1881
more particularly. This is only saying
that the ground has been effectively
cleared, the rules and regulations laid
down for administration during fam
Inc periods being found on the whole
workable. Severe famine, however,
rarely occurs twice running in the
same district, and as India is a great
congeries Of people rather than a ma
ton there has to be a good deal of
latitude permitted in dealing with
them. A famine code must necessarily
. be limited to broad principles and the
application Of them left to those on
the spot, and 1t is this that always
calls for inquiry and criticism.
A Task of Large Moment.
The same men rarely have the work
to do twice in the same place or un-
