Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-10-10

signed the nomination, a very honest
and sensible thing to do under the cir
cumstances, as his own interests were
at variance with the voters.
Over 100 republican nominees for
congress, if honest should take the
same step. Grosvenor and others of
Ohio; Hemenway and Lands and Over
street, of Indiana; Loudenslager and
others in New Jersey, and so the lists
of states might be gone through.
Nearly every congressman from Iowa,
if honest, would step aside. All these
and others know that tariff reform
sentiment is overwhe Ginning in the CEN
trail and western states. President
Roosevelt also has discovered, even in
New England, that tariff-reform senti-
ment was rampant, but he did not have
the pluck of Henderson. He looked for
a way to evade the issue that he knew
was right and on the side of the people.
His conscience told him that he should
boldly champion their cause against
the trusts and corporations. But he
needed it not and called in the chosen
protection advocates, knowing what
their advice would be before he
asked it.
The senatorial junta that controls
legislation, through their power as
chairmen of the important commit
tees, decided of course, that reform of
the tariff must not be an issue. The
president must go to the western
states and make no promise of relief
from the real cause of the enormous
prices of the necessaries of life. Thus
the trusts have the president gagged,
his talks to the people will be stif1ed
by the orders of the senatorial junta.
The coincidence of the announcement
of the retirement of Henderson at the
very time the senators were persuad-
ing the president to forego tariff dis
cussions, is so remarkable that it is
easv to believe that the trusts are back
of both these extra ordinary announce
ments.
All the senator's present have been
consistent friends of the combines and
corporations, every vote they have
east, the bills they have smothered, all
prove this. Now when the pinch comes
and an cratic president is to be las
seed, why should they not all join in a
plan to corral him?
Henderson will soon get his reward,
but will the president reach his am
bition?
How Hanna and the trust magnates
must be laughing in their sleeves at
The tanning of the rough rider.

Opinion will be divided concerning

the f1uffiness interfered with the

CUT DOWN COURSE
Plan Of Shortening Academic Work
at ~ Has Long Been
b e z% Discussed. :. 49,. -.
Readjustments Of College Curricula
IT, Are Sure to- Come, Says
DR.. FolWell.

President Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbian university, recently advocated
the shortening Of the college course so
that the degree Of A. B. could be obtained
in two years.. His reason was that time
was often wasted by men preparing to
enter the professional schools. A short
course finds favor in the University Of
Minnesota and in fact has been adVo-
Gated here with q few notifications for
forty years. oe~ ...-
Twenty-Five years ago DR.. Folwell read
q. paper before the N. e. A. convention
IN which he maintained that secondary
education should end with the sophomore
year In the university. He still holds to
the same views and says that the educa-
t1onal institutions are gradually growing
toward that position. Some of the under
class studies would have to be put ahead
and some of the higher studies brought
down to the underclasses. This would ne
cessltate readjustment but would over
come many of the present difficulties.
'In tinne,'' DR.. Folwen says, 1.-The
studies now taken in the first two years
of the American colleges will be included
In the curriculum Of the preparatory
schools. The working out Of that idea is
not possible now; so the best method is to
| make pronounced division between the
upper and lower classes in colleges.
After the completion Of the fist two years
and teachers could complete the AGA
demic course and the others could enter at
once upon their preparation for profess
sional work.
Several years ago the University of
Minnesota gave certificate at the end
of the sophomore year which would admit
the holder to any college in the uni
versity. Chicago University adopted this
same plan twenty years later. The
regular course there is now divided
into the Junior and senior colleges. In
few years the whole educational sys-
tenn will have to be reorganized."
Professor Anderson favors the combin-
ing OF the liberal and technical education
| into one course and the increasing of the
| course to six years. He says: IF high
| school graduates enter a professional
school Immediately after they are gradu-
ated, they are likely to obtain a narrow
view of their own profession and If they
are compelled to take two years in the
regular college first, they do it because
they have to and not for the educational
| value. If the courses were combined both
these objections would be eliminated and
| the graduates Of the professional schools
would be more liberal.

Grimshaw for the Ticket.

United States Marshall William H.
Grmshaw was greeted with applause as
he rose to speak at the Fourth ward meet
ing in the Western avenue wigwam last
evening. He admitted that he had picked
more losers in the late primary campaign
than he had ever done previously, but as
he said before the primaries, every repub-
lican nominated should have his fullest
support. He couldn't help being re-
publican. 1t was his intention to support
the entire republican ticket and he urged
every other republican to do the same.

NEW MAINE.
Uno .seial Trial Trip of the New Battle
shin

sup.
Philadelphia, Pa, July 2.-About 40
O'Clock tomorrow morning the Maine,
one of the most powerful battleships
ever built for the United States navy,
will leave her dock in Cramps snip
yari for her builders trial trip. She
will be under the general supervision
of Edwin S. Cramp, with James A.
Cl3mpitt as pilot. The trial spin will
be over the builders course, which ex-
tends twenty-one miles from the Della
ware capes to the Southwest lightship.
eleven and %one-fourth miles from the
Southwest lightship to the Northeast
lightship. eleven and one-fourth miles
from the Northeast lightship to the
Southwest lightship, and twenty-one
miles from the Southwest lightship
back to the capes.
Her trial will be made to determine
how well she steams. whether her ma
chinery works smoothly apd approx
mately what her speed is. That she
will meet and exceed the requirements
of the contract is regarded as a GER
tainty by naval experts who have
closely watched her progress from the
time her keel was laid. During the
trip she will be manned by a crew of
$50 picked men from Cramps yards.
The conditions under which this trial
will be made will differ to some extent
from her government trial this fall, in.
asmuch as she is not now in a finish
ed condition. She Is designed to have
a speed of eighteen knots an hour
which is considerably in excess of che
speed of the Alabama and other cracl
battleships of the navy. That she will
dc wen better than her contract speed
there is no doubt. In fact, 1t Is believed
that she will have plenty to spare
along this line.
Much sentiment is attached to thi!
huge fighting machine, named after thu
original Maine, which was destroyed
in Havana harbor more than fouI
years Ago.. The keel was laid Febru
AIRY Is. 1898, one year after the de
struction of her namesake. In siz
and armament the new vessel is vastl,
superior to the old. The old Main
was a second class battleship, built il
the New York navy yard. The new on
is a first class b~attleship of IL. 500 ton
displacement. Her main battery vii
consist Of four ~twelve-inch guns, an
her secondary battery will be twelv
six-inch guns. The new ship is fit
feet longer than the old Maine, her ell
gines will have an indicated 'hors
power of 10000 as against 9,293 of tn
old ship. Her armor Is twelve-inc
"Kruppized" as against the twelve-inc
Harveyized steel used on the old shil
and her coal bunkers carry 1000 ton
giving a steaming radius of 1000
knots at a cruising speed of ten knot
an hour. h
