A States Greatest Wealth.

In an able speech before the
state teachers association at Chat
tanooga, Tenn, Hon. 5. G.. Heis-
kell, of Knoxville, declared that no
people can succeed that do not
nourish public education. "We
must remember" he said, that a
state does not consist of houses and
lands and factories and rivers and
harbors and railroads and orchards
and climate; the state consists of
the people, and as the people are
educated the state becomes veal
thy, and as the people are ignorant
the state remains poor. No matter
what our resources may be, il takes
an intelligent people to develop
them. Ignorant people do not
know how, or when or where
to develop the gifts of nature, and
they sit and do nothing until 9TH
erS, who are better educated in sci
ence and industrial arts come in,
seize the available opportunities.

veloped possibilities, and thus be

Worried by Miles.

1t seems that President Roosevelt
and General Miles, having been
playing lately with pretty big po-
litical sticks, are about ready to
call it off even. By his attack on
the administrations pet measure,
the army bill, Gen. Miles has play
ed even with the president for pub
licly rebuking him for talking about
the Schley case.
No doubt the president would
like to retire Gen. Miles for that
attack made before the senate COM
mittee on military affairs, but he
probably stopped to consider that
Gen. Niles admirers in the senate
would be much disturbed by such
action; and the general, too, prob
ably weighed that matter care
fully before giving in his testi-
mOny.
1t is very easy to understand
why the president would not care
to ALLEVIATE the feelings of his own
party friends in the senate, as the
senators might retaliate in such
measures and ways as would en-
danger the success of the presi-
dents administration.
Washington people seem to be
quite amused over Gen. Miles
ability to get even with the presi-
dent, and it does look as though
the latter may have lost a little of
that popularity which he had when
he first entered upon the duties of
his office.

The Anglo-Japanese treaty seems

country which will educate It's
mothers need have any fears about
its future illiteracy except from i'm
migration. An educated man NAV
be the father of illiterate children,
but the children of educated women
are never illiterate. Outside of the
cities probably three-fourths of the
educated women spend a part of
each day educating their own chill

whereas three fOurths of the edu-
Gated men spend very short time

Governor Removes 0ffieials.

Governor Jennings is earning
encomiums of praise by his decis-
i've action in the case of the Escam-
bia county officials. This case was
that in which the sheriff, justice
of the peace and a constable col
lected excessive fees from the coun-
ty, above that amount allowed by
law. Charges were preferred against
them by the county commission
ers, and the matter was reported to
the governor. The latter did not
take any snap judgment in the
matter, but sent the state auditor
to Pensacola, who found out that
there had been both malfeasance
and misfeasance committed by the
parties charged. The officers were
given until the 10Th of this month
to refund the money they wrong
fully withheld, but onl ly the sheriff
complied with the request. The
removal of the justice and con-
stable from their office by the gov
ernor followed last week, but here
the matter should not end. They
should be prosecuted in court for
this wrongdoing, and punished,
