SCRANTON, JUNE I. 1902.
For governor of Pennsylvania, on the
issue Of au open field and fair play,
JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana,
subject to the will of the Republican
masses,
Better Be Fair.

=" Hi; Philadelphia Press justi-
fies the opposition to John
Il Ellin by saying that his can
ddacy stands for what i'm
perillcd the state last year. We are un-
able to see that he stands for it any
more than Judge Pennypacker does
What imperlled the state last year was
the ripper bill and the trolley bill Both
OF these were the handiworls of Senator
Quay and We're mainly for the benefit Of
the very interests now fighting Mr.. Ell
kin. There Is far more reason to be-
leve that John Elkin as governor, af-
ter his experience as to Quay's graft
tude and fidelity, would be free from
Senator Quay's influence in such mat
ters than that Judge Pennypacker,
Quay's eulogist, would be in view Of
his debt to Quay for his appearance and
prospects as a candidate.
The best proof of Mr.. Elkn's ability
to make a successful campaign before
the people, however, is embodied in the
fact that he has already made one. The
Press may sneer at popular verdicts
in open primaries but these have a
world of meaning in situations like the
present. They represent the popular
preference after careful consideration
of all points in controversy. If John
Elllin We're a weak candidate, how can
the Press or any other opponent of his
explain the majorities cast for him in
those counties where the party rules
permitted a direct appeal to the peo-
pie? His opponents contested the
ground with him to the fullest extent
of their ability and strength and he
won from them in every instance, de-
feating first one and then the other
with comparative ease. 1t is ridiculous
to contend that weak candidate could
do this against the heretofore powerful
opposition of Senator Quay, re-en-
forced on this occasion by great cor
porate wealth and such influence
among the whilom insurgents as jour-
nails like the Press could WELD.
Anyone has right to oppose John
Elkin's nomination but his opponents
should be fair 1t is unfair to call him
weak candidate. If there is any weak
ness among candidates it's correct loca-
tion is elsewhere, and we think the peo-
pie see this.

oped. Amongst ourselves there is at
least no lack of expenditure upon edu-
cation, but we greatly fear that the ef-
forts Of school boards and of school
managers are less directed towards
ends than towards means, less towards
the results of teaching than towards its
conduct In some particular way, less to-
wards the attainment Of results than
towards the maintenance of shibbo-
leths. Nothing promises to be a greater
help to the progress Of the United
States than the care which is bestowed
upon the training OF her future citizens

paration of our children to retain, in
the world around them, the places
which have been won by their fathers"
This, we are bound to say Is very
complimentary and very gratifying and
in general way approximately true.
There can be no doubt that upon the
whole the trend of educational progress
in this country has been along the lines
marked out by the Times. But many
spots remain where examining by rote
and rule survives with unimpaired Wig
or; and until these shall be humanized
there will be very disconcerting skele-
ton at our educational feast. We hope
that change for the better in this re-
spect is near at hand in the public

1t is, proper that there should be a
thorough investigation of the suspicion
entertained in high circles at Washing
ton that General Miles has been COM
municating war department secrets to
the opponents of the administration.
That he has been indiscreet is notori-
Gus: but that he could deliberately
stoop to play the informer is hard to be-
leve and will not be believed except up
on absolute proof. That there has been
a leak, however, IS certain, and it is OBJ
viously necessary that it should be To-
Gated and stopped.

In Cuba,

q MAN who has been eNtrava-
~ gantly praised and eXtrava-
y gantly abused is General
Maxmo Gomez, the Cuban
Bolivar. No American seems yet to
have fully gauged this curious old
Dominican revolutonist, whose course,
judged by Anglo-SaNon standards, has
been puzzling at times and sometimes
SUSPICIOUS.
But the old warriors refusal to ac-
cept $4,000 annual pension voted to
him without opposition by the Cuban
congress, coupled with his assertion
that he has a war claim which he in
tends to press when the proper time
comes, but that he will not press his
claim until the soldiers who served
under him shall have been paid first,
exhibits him in q very creditable light,
and tends to confirm the opinion once
expressed by General Wood that Gomez,
while man of queer qualities, was alb
solutely honest.
1t would be an appropriate action If
President Palma, following Gomez's ex-
ample, should decline the $25O00 annual
salary voted to him by the Cuban con-
gress, and insist that while the island 8
finances are in chaotic condition S10,-
900 a year for the executives salary
would be ample. 1t is probably worth
all of S25.000 year to do what Palma
will have to do in order to get things
properly started in the new republic;
but a Jeffersonian simplicity is highly
desirable at the beginning, among a
people naturally prone to extravaganza.
1t is gratifying to note that In the
main, so far as American readers have
been kept advised, affairs are proceed
ing smoothly in Cuba. The Palma ad-
ministration has been accepted cor
daily by all elements; is proceeding
conservatively and with signs of con-
siderable constructive ability; and the
Cuban legislature, while not immortal
izing itself by many exhibitions of pro-
found wisdom, is probably able to chal-
lenge comparison with the average
state legislature in the United States.
There are substantial grounds for en-
couragement in the reports from
Havana. Cuba's worst danger at pres
ent seems to lie within the beet sugar
circle of malign influence at Washing
ton.

The public schools of Santa Fe have
made a most excellent start. AS COM
pared with the first month last year,
the enrolment this year is greater by
40 and the average attendance exceeds
that of last year by Al. The commit
tee on houses expended $126.5O in i'm

and $155 on the I'd ward building. Both
are now in good condition. No improve
ment was made on the Sd ward build
ing, although the rooms are too small
to accommodate the increased number
Iof pupils. The classes in the grammar
and high school have greatly increased
in number. The high school is at such
a standard that graduates are permit

TH0R0uut INVESTIGATION
Many Complaints We're without Merit But Scores Of
Claims Are Rejected Every Day That Should Be
Allowed Applicants, Attorneys and Sur
geuns Regarded With Dlstrust

Washington, d. c., Oct. 9.-Amont
The official documents presented to thu
encampment of the Grand Army of th
Republic, which met here today, wa!
the report of the committee appointed
last year to investigate the administra.
| tion of the pension office by the then
commissioner of pensions, Hon. Clay H
| Evans. The investigation was conduc-
ted in Washington and the committee
began their report by saying that Com
missioner Evans afforded them every
| opportunity to make it thorough.
Speaking of the results of the inquiry
many of these complaints We're without
merit, but many meritorious claims had
been thrown out. From personal in
vestigation" they say we are convinc-
every day that should be allowed" The
report closes as follows: 1--WE respect
fully submit that it cannot reasonably
be expected that the pension laws will
be fairly construed and justly adminls-
tered in accordance with the spirit and
intendment by those who treat every
applicant for a pension with distrust
regard his attorney as fraud and
brand the examining surgeons as In
competent and dishonest"
General J. T. Stewart of Pennsylva
MIA, has been elected commander in
chief of the G. A. r. His election was
secured on the first ballot.
The encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic which is the business
meeting of that order, began it's session
at 10 o'clock today in the First Congre-
gational church in this city. The at
tendance comprised about 1000 dele
gates, making it one of the largest con-
ventions ever held by the organization.
At the outset a resolution was adopted
expressing the grief of the convention
over the death of President Mckinley
and it's regret over President Roose-
velt's indisposition. Commander-in-
Chief Torrance then delivered his an
nual address. He was received with
cheers and was frequently interrupted
by applause. The address was referred
to the standing committee having in
charge the reports of officers, after
which the other reports of general Off
GERS were presented. The convention
then agreed by a vote to proceed at 3
o'clock to the election of officers for
next year and after this question was
off, listened to the reading of
the report of the special committee on
pensions. Reunions were held this
forenoon at Camp Roosevelt.
