The subsidy bill has been laid to
sleep. 1t was too big load to carry
with an election pending. 1t now re.
mains for the people to set their seal OF
condemnation upon it this fall. If
republican congress is elected it will
pass in the second session. If the dem.
,ocrats win, the defeated members may
pass it in defiance of public sentiment
at the second session unless so great an
expression of hostility to it is given as
to satisfy the republican managers that
the passage of that colossal steal will
cost them the election in 1904. Vlgor-
tous criticism of the outrageous propo.
hition should be voiced in every demo-
cratic platform. That and the robber
tariff, with trusts as an incidental
feature, are the self-evident issues fore
ed upon the parties-and never was the

COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAM.

Reference is made in the Hawkeye,
the institution paper at the State School
for the Deaf, to the failure of the Iowa
legislature last winter to pass a law for
compulsory attendance of deaf children
at the State School for the Deaf, and
the statement made that it was "intro.
duced too late in the session to receive
the attention of the legislature, but just
keep your eye on US and wait two
years." But this matter has been dis
cussed in some official circles and the
suggestion made that possibly the gen.
eral law for compulsory attendance at
school may cover the case and render
unnecessary any special legislation
with reference to the deaf school. The
general law requires attendance at
school for children certain time each
year bearing sufficient excuses for non.
attendance. Would deafness be con.
sidered an excuse for non-attendance at
school, especially when the state pro-
vides one of the best schools in the
country with free tuition and if neces-
sary provides free transportation to
and from the school to all children? In
the opinion of a number the general
law sufficiently covers the case, and if
this is true then it is certain there will
be great increase in attendance at the
state deaf school at Council Bluffs
another year. 1t is we'll known that
that school has never been run to its
largest capacity because it has been
found impossible to get all the deaf
children of the state into the school.
Last winter before the legislative com.
mittees investigating the matter it was
stated that the Council Bluffs school
would accommodate from 400 to 800 more
without great crowding. If deaf child.
rem are unable to obtain excuses fol
non-attendance it's capacity will certain
ly be tested the coming two or three
years.
