.CARMACK Is CAUSTIC
CONTINUES TO INVEIGH AGAINST
PHILIPPINE BILL.
DENOUNCES OUR WARFARE
Says the Orders Given Relative to
Pacifying of Islands Are Horrible
Beyond ription-House De-
votes Time to Paying Tribute TO
Dead Members.

Washington, April 27.-At the con
ciusion of the morning business oena-
tor Carmack resumed his speech on
the Philippine government bill which
he began Friday. By the terms OF the
bill he said the islands were
for the FiIipinos as a pasture was for
sheep-they lived and bTOWSed there
in order to raise wool for others to
wear and mutton for others to eat.
MI. Carmack referred to the cabled re-
ports from Manila that General Smith
had acknowledged that he had given
orders to make the islands a bowling
wilderness and kill all over ten as
horrible beyond description, This. he
said, was a practice unheard OF, to
slaughter the inhabitants and then
have the torch complete the work.
When the land is without a home,
the country without people, the word
pacified' will be written upon the
tombstone Of the province of Samar, -,
he said.
The civ. government established by
this bill, he predicted, would result IN
overcoming instructions to be put
down by our blood and treasure, in or
der that a few rapscallions and carpet
baggers might have unlimited license
tC thieve and plumber.
Senator DOlliver of Iowa asked Sen
atOr Carmack to define his own posi-
the holdings of the islands in ''perpet-
ual despOtism" and being now solicit
Gus lest they be admitted as states.
Senator Carmack responded that his
own position was clear. While carpet
baggers and adVenturers are plumber
ing to get control of the islands, he
said. the government provided in this
bill will be just what they wanted
When they had everything they want
ed, he said, they would clamOr for
American markets and American
statehood. Senator Carmack expressed
All earnest wish that the administra-
ton turn from the bloody gospel of
strenuous life" to the paths Of peace.

Some minor business was
at the opening
session OF the house yesterday.
May 10 was set aside for paying tri5-
Ute to the memory of the late Senator
Kyle of South Dakota. The District

ported and placed upon the calendar
Mr.. -Osvenor of Ohio asked unani-
nous consent for consideration of the
joint resolution to extend the thanks
Of congress to John Hay for the Grafton
upon the occasion of the Mckinley

Missouri objected. Bills were passed
to appropriate $4,000 for a Iightkeep-
er's station at EcOrse, Mich; to appOr-
ton the terms Of senators elected at
the first general election in Hawaii;
to extend for three years the time with

QUESTIONABLE METHODS
SOME PUBLIC SPEAKERS.

Rev. DR.. Stoltz of the First Presby-
terrain church, in his sermon last Sun
day morning, had occasion to talk
about the mistakes men sometimes
make in publicly abiding to the
wickedness of their past lives, as if to
show the great contrast between the
course they once pursued and the
path of virtue upon which they are
now travelling. The criticism by DR..
Stoltz seems to be well deserved and
timely. 1t is too much the fashion OF
reformed temperance orators to dwell
upon the wickedness of their past
lives, as exemplified in drinking great
quantities of whiskey. These details
they seem to roll as a sweet morsel
with their tongues as if the audience
were edited by these confessions. The
essence of Doctor Stoltz' view was
that there is but One to whom these
sad confessions Of guilt need be made.

COLLEGE CULTURE AND PRAcTI
CAL EDUCATION.

Professor Oscar l.. Triggs, of the
University of Chicago, in his address
before the graduates of the Jewish
training school at Sinai Temple, Chi.
cago, set forth ideas that will be
criticised in some quarters but they
will commend themselves to those
who have given that and kindred sub
jects thought and consideration.
Professor Triggs says:
1.-The ideal of culture upheld in col
leges is an ideal derived from feudal
and aristocratic conditions; it is a
culture which can be effective for the
individual only in a state of compare
tive idleness."
"The time would seem to be oppor-
tune to establish in the world new
idea of culture. The old culture. the
culture of the mind, is static, and is
symbolized by a scholar passively ac
curing knowledge in library. The
new culture, the culture of life, is dy
manic, and is typified by the man OF
affairs subduing nature to his uses
The professor would improve the
situation by organizing schools Of
technology within the college il
which students may be instructed In
useful arts, where training in the
higher craftsmanship may be given tt
apprentices, and where experiments
in the higher industrialism may be
engaged in by masters of craft"
1t is the practice in the universities

A Family Affair Only.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette Gnd.)
characterizes Gov. Cummins as ire
publican pathfinder" on the tariff ques-
ton, and its Cedar Rapids contempt
rary, the Republican, says it is unfor-
tut ate that this verdict is rendered
by an Iowa paper that has never sup
ported a republican ticket and that
does not intend to support a repub-
lican ticket, either state or national"
The Republican is unable to under
stand why the Independent papers are
SO anxious to find pathfinder for the
republicans, and it asserts that Mr..
Cummins, if he has any grievance in
modern politics, has grievance
against democratic papers which
praise his utterance thus insincerely.
"As a matter of fact the Republican
concludes, ''Mr. Cummins has not said
anything that warrants democratic pa
papers in their interpretations. Mr..
Cummins has not been going demo-
cratic on tariff"

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
Advocates rarin Revision.


The Knoxville Journal believes the
leaders in congress are making great
mistake in avoiding the tariff revision
issue. 1T is true" says the Journal,
that a revision of tariff rates is a Sc
rious matter, and one that must be
dealt with in practical way; that
there are limitations on what can be
done and when the question is opened
up what may be done is highly profile
NAUTICAL 1t is wise that the matter
should be discussed by the people thor
oughly before action is taken. The
only thing to be gained by agitating
the question now is to arouse the re-
publican leaders of the east to an ap.
probation of the fact that tariff revi-
sion is inevitable and educate them to
the business of the demand. Iowa is
in favor of revision, but she wants it
at the hands Of the republican party
The platform for 1902 should specific
ally declare for tariff and revision.

and colleges handed down from tradi-
tionary periods to place all students
on the same plane and educate them
according to an inflexible rule There
is no provision made for those who
excel in a certain quality of mind and
are deficient in another but all are
measured by the same standard. This
is applying the methods of Procrustes,
the tyrant. who had bed constructed
of certain length and his subjects
were compelled to stretch themselves
upon it; those who fit the bed, we'll
and good, but those who were too
short were stretched out by mechani-
cal means while on the other hand
those who were too lengthy were
chopped off.
In these days of great industrial ac-
tivity and great enterprises there are
enlarged opportunities for the en-.
ployment of those who are fitted to
control the new agencies.
Electricity has opened wonderful ave,
nues for technical knowledge on this
subject. 1t is so in all the depart
ments of industrial activities and as
new inventions multiply so do the op.
portunities for skilled craftsmanship
increase. In the old days college
| education signified that the graduate
would utilize his requirements in the
practice of one of the learned profes
sions but there is now wider and nc
doubt more remunerative field for
the college bred man provided he is
prepared with technical knowledge
to take employment where the bust
ness enterprises beckon to and invite
him. The learned professions are
now, and have always been. over
crowded with mediocre talent. There
are thousands of men who are known
as doctors, lawyers, surgeons OF
preachers, who will never be success
full but if their training had been diff
ferent, they might have excelled as
masters in the mechanical arts or il
the applications of scientific discov
cry.
The tendency of the modern WORLD
toward giant industrial enterprises
will compel different plan of educa
ton which will take note of the spe
cial qualifications of the student fol
certain lines of activity. The Procrus
team plan is not only antiquated but

Answer: Build for All Time.

The erection of public buildings by
the government, the Maurice Review
thinks has grown into the proportions
of a fad which is each year becoming
more serious. The Review questions
the wisdom of erecting great, expen,
sive buildings in every little city in
the country, regardless of whether
they have any use for it or not What
benefit" the Review asks in conclu,
sion, do the smaller towns and rural
communities derive from this vast
expenditure of public funds? None
whatever, although they have to help
foot the bill"
