school trust is in q state of selfish ag.
gressive commercial expansion. In the
cities there is universal groaning under
the increasing burdens of taxation i'm
posed by extravagant and commonly
corrupt school boards; but the clamor
Of the school cult is ever for more.
But financial extravaganza is not as
hurtful as the extravagant amount and
variety Of work imposed upon the
pupils. Teachers in each department
have their particular fads and are con-
vinced Of the paramount importance of
their particular line of instruction; so
that in the roundup of these contend
ing ambitions the courses Of study in
the public schools of today are expanded
and stuffed until they exceed in dimen-
sion and detail the college courses of
not many years ago, and mere children
are forced with this pabulum, digestible
only by mature minds. AS result,
before they have become young men
and women, pupils become old, nervous
and worn, and filter for that land where
the wicked teachers cease from trou-
bling and weary children are at rest from
them, than for the strenuous struggles
and healthy enjoyments Of this present
life.
Our imperfect social organism moves
by the rule of action and reaction. and
reaction against the headlong course
of the school system is now due. The
Conservative at this opportune time
throws out these not extravagant hints
in the hope that the setting-in of the
reaction may be thereby expedited.

teachers is another reminder of the
growing tyranny of the public school
trust. The alleged commercial trusts
are localized, and differentiated from
opposing interests and forces; but the
influences and the empire of the school
trust are omnipresent from sea to sea,
and from gulf to British border. This
vast organization has ostensibly bene-
ficent and largely unselfish object, and
it represents an institution which is
benefcent when confined to q proper

thropic aspect Of the public school sys-
public insight. The great Importance
of a good primary education for their
children and the difficulty of providing
it filled the early settlers of our still new
country with spirit of solicitude and
self-sacrif1ce in that behalf as ardent as
that which animated the crusaders to
the holy land or stirred the emotions of
the religious devotee in those days
when the belief was held that religious
faith was efficacious and essential to
save from the fires of literal hell. And
so the mission Of the public school and
the public school teacher has been
idealized, while they have gradually
become organized into an aggressive,
oppressive commercial trust. Broader
fields and more public money to enable
us to exploit theories is their motto.
The obtrusive feature of the present
public school system is extravaganza

of work forced upon the pupils. The

We were visited by four of the most
distinguished men Of the Minnetarees,
to whom we showed marked attentions,
as we know they had been taught to
entertain strong prejudices against us;
these we succeeded in removing"

came, accompanied by his squaw. He
favored US with a most acceptable pres

go to war in the spring against the
Snake Indians; we advised him to re-
fleet seriously before he committed the
peace of his nation to the hazards of
war; to look back upon the numerous
nations whom war has destroyed; that
if he wished his nation to be happy, he
. should cultivate peace and intercourse
with all his neighbors, by which means
they would procure more horses, and
increase in numbers; and that if he
went to war, he would displease his
Great Father, the President, and for
felt his protection. We added, that we
had spoken thus to all the tribes whom
we had met, that they had all opened
their ears, and that the President would
compel those who did not voluntarily
listen to his advice. Although young
man Of only twenty six years of age,
this discourse seemed to strike him. He
observed, that if it would be displeasing
to us he would not go to war, since he
had horses enough, and that he would
advise all the nation to remain at home,
until he had seeu the Snake Indians,
and discovered whether their intentions
were pacific"

Not a Boast or Threat.

Some of the European papers seem
unduly excited over the references to
the Monroe doctrine made by President
Roosevelt in his Augusta speech. They
have been construed to contain some
mysterious boast or threat which
BODIED i'll for the peace of the world in
general and of Europe in particular.
of course. the President meant no
more and no less than he said in plain
English. This country is not hunting
for trouble, but there will surely be
trouble if any power of Europe tries
land grabbing on this continent. That
Is all the Monroe doctrine means, ard
MS long as we have a first class navy
Europe will regard it with the greatest
respect. That the President should
refer to the Monroe doctrine in the
home of Blaine was only natural, for
that great statesman's sterling and
strenuous Americanism caused him 10
take particular interest in questions
concerning that doctrine. The Prasi-
dents speech was in no sense 4 threat
or a warning but was simply 4 force
full reaffirmation of a doctrine which
has long been. and long will be, an i'm
portant part of our national policy.

No Choice in Vermont.

The result of the election in Vermont
was that the expected happened. In
that state they still cling to the old
rule requiring majority to elect. and
with four candidates in the field and
so much popular feeling in the subject
of high license, General Mccullough.
the regular Republican nominee.
though leading the others, falls short
of a majority. His only opponent of
importance was Clement, who run as
an Independent Republican in favor of
high slieense, after failing to get the
termination in the Republican state
convention. The Democratic candi-
date cut a very small figure at the
polls. not getting over half the usual
Democratic vote, which at the best is
little more than scattering" in the
Green Mountain State. The quality of
Vermont Republicanism on national
issues is shown by the fact that Con-
gressmen Foster and Haskings led
their opponents by some 10000 votes.
As there is no choice by the people
the legislature which meets in October
will select a governor. The result
there is in doubt, for while it will be
overwhelmingly Republican it is i'm
possible at present to know just who
are Mccullough men and VINO are
Clement men. Clement, though
technically bolter, has great many
Republican leaders with him and his
stand for high license carried for him
all the cities and large towns. The
chances seem to favor Mccullough in
the legislature, because ne IS the regu-
lar party nominee and has the party
organization behind him. The days Of
the prohibitory law seem at an end in
Vermont. for there is no doubt that
the new legislature will pass a high
license law. In that state prohibition
is rot embodied in the constitution as
it is in Maine, and the people have
plainly had enough of the present
system. The Vermont campaign has
been on the license issue and was a
bot one. but the result, showing a
SPLIT Republican vote, dos not mean
tnat the integrity Of Vermont Re
publtcanism on national issues is in
any degree impaired.
