ettac9ment the momentary mood
OF the mob. The true demagogue
loudly repudiates any pretensi0u
of knowing more than the peo
ple.' The present aim of edu-
cation is to urge the claims of
knowledge, training and efficiency
so as to reduce the difficulty of
securing competent leadership.
1t is patriotic to the core. 1t does
not hesitate to proclaim its mis-.
sion to the world, and to affirm
that it purposes to attempt the
inauguration of better day.

dlvldual so as to see what talents

fore, how he may be developed
to best advantage. The old cur
riculum was uniform The young
men were all to be put through
the same machine. A regular
course is all right and proper,
but outside Of that men may be
educated according to their natu-
raj endowments so as to become
the greatest possible benefactors
to mankind. William Shakes
peare, Sir Walter Scott, Robert
Burns, Alexander Pope, Thomas
A. Edison, Herbert Spencer, and
hosts of others did not take the
regular curriculum. Why should
a man be compelled to pore over
dry and distasteful rubbish when
all his capacities, abilities, and
tastes, lead him in an entirely
different direction2 James B.
Angel, President of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, says: 81 once
knew boy in college who evinced
ne interest in any of his regular
work. He was deemed hopeless
ly lazy. He was generally busy
at making caricatures of his fel.
low students and of the professors.
One day caricature of a certain
professor, which had much
amused the students, fell into the
hands of the professor himself.
He summoned the young man to
his room. The student went with
some trepidation, supposing he
was to be reprimanded. But the
wise teacher said to him You
seem to have a talent for draw
ing. No one of the faculty has
been able to find out what you
were made for. All have de.
SPARED of making anything of
you. But evidently you are in
tended for an artist. You ought
to go abroad and study art"
"And then, having himself lived
many years in Rome, he gave his
astonished and gratified hearer
suggestions concerning the best
method of pursuing art studies,
and rendered him letters to dis
tinguished artists at Rome. This
indOlent student followed the ad-
vice given him, and became a
painter of distinction. The time.
ly counsel Of his teacher was the
making Of the man" The more
directly students come in contact
with the professors the better.
The inspirations resulting from
association with teachers of eX-
alted personality is of priceless
value. When George Long left

They take the stand that they will not

all this Is wrong. Any body of men whose

organize into an association for mutual

as an organization on matters which af-
ford their individual and combined in

st. aPul. Mimi, August 2O.-The trust
question was In evidence again today
In tine discussions before the TRANSMITS
sissippl congress and a number OF resolu-
tions bearing upon Its various phases were
introduced and referred to the commit
tee on resolutions. Col. Moses C. Wet
more of st. Louis introduced a series of
strong "ant-trust" resolutions, which de-
ciared that trusts are a menace to re-
publican form of government and to the
hopes and ambitions of youth and urged
the president to enforce existing laws
against Illegal combinations and If those
laws are insufficient, he Is aswed to call
upon congress to supply the difficulty.
On the other hand Mr.. Thurber of New
York introduced resolution asking the
congress TO suspend Judgment until II
can be learned from experience whether
or not trusts are an evil. A number OF
notable addresses were made, those OF
Lyman f. Lolcy upon finland water

WANT ALL HEROES
AT G. A. R. CAMP
CITIZENS OF OYSTER BAY PETI-
TON THE PRESIDENT TO ISSUE
ORDER GIVING OLD OFFICERS
PERMISSION.

Washington, August 20.-The following
communication today was addressed to
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay by
the citizens committee of the G. A. R.:
'sThe citizens executive committee on
the thirty-sixth annual encampment OF
the Grand Army of the Republic passed
a resolution at It's last meeting directing
me to request that you issue an executive
order permitting members OF the Grand
Army of the Republic employed in the
service of the United States In Washing
ton and throughout the country to at
tend this encampment, which will be
held In this city during the week COM
mencing October next, whenever the In
terests of the public service will so per-
NIT, without loss of pay or without hav-
ing the time so occupied deducted from
their annual leave.
This will in all probability be the last
gre eat gathering of the vet Grams of the
civil war at the national capital, and a
large number of them are coming here
for the purpose of meeting their COM
rades in reunion at camp fires and in a
social way. In fact, many of them will
make sacrifices in order to be present.
I'VE sincerely trust you may see youc
way clear to comply with this request,
which will be In the line of encouraging
patriotism and devotion to the flag of
our country.
You will be gratified to know that on
this occasion a large number will also as
sernble here who were also soldiers in
the confederate army, as well as several
thousand of your comrades In the war
with Spein."

NEGROES CAUSE TROUBLE.
Problem In South Africa Is Causing
England Much Trouble.

London, August 20.-Mail advices receiv-
ed here from johannesburg indicate that
the negro problem is growing more acute
and is causing the authorities infinite
worry. To quote the words of one of the
foremost South African authorities.
ION the question of the natives depends
the whole future of the colonies-wheth-
er the Beers will Loyalty accept British
rule or continue in state of sullen re-
sentiment. Among the immediate dangers
are the natives attacks on Beers return
ing to their farms and attempts of natives
to assault white women. These are
threatening to lead to serious consists
between Beers and blacks. Under the
old regime the crude but simple retribu-
tion for assaults on women was shooting
on sight.
Now however, there is no legislation on
the subject, and the English authorities
are hesitating to enact laws until all
the parties concerned can voice their opin-
ions" The hesitancy to deal severely
with the natives Is causing both Beers
and Africanders intense irritation and
encourages the blacks to trucent effront-
cry.
another phase of the problem is the
unwillingness of the blacks to forego their
lazy existence in the concentration camps.
where thousands were gathered during
the war and far more serious Is the fact
that a great number of blacks in the
country have managed 20 secure arms.

Ten Digesters.
The digesters were located In a two-
story building. There were ten of them
In the building, each ore resembling a
vat and about six feet in diameter. They
were used for reducing wood pulp. Eigh-
teen men were at wo~h in the building
There were two terrific reports and The

injury. "A alarm of fire was sounded
and the entire fire department of the
city and large force of police was soon
on the ground and the work of rescue
was Immediately begun. Several of the
workmen were taken out unconscious,
only to die after being removed to hos
pitfalls. The wreckage was piled up for
more than thirty feet and the escaping
steam made the work of rescue rather
difficult.
Those who were not killed outright
were mangled, and burned by escaping
steam that flowed over their bodies from
the digesters. Up to this writing eight
persons are dead and, according to the
officials of the company, at least six 9TH
ers are In the ruins. To add to the hor-
ror of the disaster the wreckage took
fire. but after some difficulty the fire
department managed to subdue the
flames and the work of rescue was con-
tinued.
Steam was used in the digesters. The
officers of the company think that too
much steam was generated in them and
that this was the cause of the explosion.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.

plotting how they could get delegates
or receive offices. He told Mr.. Lyon
that he could explain this to all Texas
republicans Of every faction..
The president also told him that II
ever, in any such southern state, re-
publican congressman sas elected, Il
would amount to far more IN the presi-
dents mind than ANYTHING which could
be done in the way of offices, and that
he felt there was little need of recogni-
tion for any organization which exasted
only for offices and delegates.
1t was learned thar the president told
Chairman Babcock of the republican con-
gressioral committee, when the latter
visited him a sew days ago, that he was
profoundly discontinued with the Virginia
republican organization for not making a
resolute effort to elect republican con-
gressmen from the western districts oc
Virginia, and that he felt that an orgsni-
cation which did not try to develop the
fullest party strength at the polls, had no
claim upon him.

GUNBOAT BOYACA AT SEA
FLYING THE REBEL FLAG

Panama, August 2o.-The former gov

July 20 to carry three hundred soldiers
to Aqua Dulce and which was captured
by the Colombian revolutionists, is now
at sea flying the rebel flag. The rumors
that Boyaca had sunk are therefore re-

Before she left here, General Salazar,
governor of Panama, ordered the COM
nfander of the Boyaca not to fire the
guns on that vessel because he feared
the bad condition of the Boyaea would
endanger those on board IL her guns were
discharged. Revolutionary reports of the
capture of the gunboat are that she
fought two hours before being captured
and it is believed in government circles
