Education As Capital.

Take man earning SIS a month.
and capitalize him like any other
business enterprise at say six per
cent, and he would be worth So, 900.
Deducting one-third of this
amount for the average chances
of death, he would still be worth
$4,000 to himself. His value to
his family would be further les
sened by the cost of his personal
support. Take another earning
$50 q month, and capitalize him
in the same manner. He would
represent a capital of $4,000, ten
times that of the other. This is
not a mere financial conceit. 1t
is practically the rule of damages
followed by the courts in cases of
death by wrongful act, taking in
to consideration the life expectan-
cy of the deceased. It should be
the rule to be substantially follow
ed in the education of every child.
If a parent can educate q son
from SIS hand to a $50 hand.
he has started him with a hand
some capital most securely inves-
ted. If the father is unable to do
it, and the State does it, is it not
a profitable investment? The
State recognizes it as such in its
system of taxation, inssmuch as it
taxes a man both upon his head
in the shape of a poll tax and up
on bis personal earnings in the
shape of an income. BY educa-
ton I do not mean man exclusive
ly scholastic training. I mean
such training, mental and manual,
as will best fit q child for the full
fillment of those duties in life
which he will be called on to per-
form.
With increase of capital will
come increase of power; but who
ever would rightly reckon with
the industrial forces of the South
in the coming years must not over
look the human equation. Even
in a material sense, the best capi-
tai a State can ever have, the no.
blest in it's nature and the most
permanent and productive in it's
results, consists in the educated
manhood of it's people.-Judge

WE'RE JOHNSON AND HIS OPPO-
NENT LAST NIGHT.

Conditions of Debate Were That Mr.
Hopkins Was Free to Ask Any
Question He Chose-DeveIOpment
of Questions and Replies Included
All That Goes to Make the Policies
of the Two Parties Franchise
Taxation Causes Some Evasive
Statements
Cleveland, O., Oct.2S.-Mayor Tom l..
Johnson and w. r. Hopkins, the latter
an attorney and ex-chairman of the
Republican county committee, debated
for three hours tonight in Gray's Ar
mory on the respective issues which
are prominent in the pending cam
paign. Four thousand people crowded
the armory and listened with eager
ness. The large stage was given over
equally to partisans of the respective
speakers, but the audience was evil
IDENTIFY in sympathy with Mr.. Johnson
and his views.
The conditions of the debate were
that Mr.. Hopkins was free to ask any
question that he chose to.
The debate covered the many intri-
cacies that were easily brought forth
upon such questions as Home Rule
and Just Taxation" The development
of the questions and the replies In
cluded about all the statements that
both sides are making in their politi-
cal utterances from the stump. Mr.
Johnson's principal points were that
the system of taxation in Ohio is not
just to all property owners alike, while
Mr.. Hopkins endeavored to prove that
under present laws and present cir
cumstances the taxes were as equal as
they could be without legal authority
to make them different
Mr.. Johnson was especially severe
upon the passage of the code bill by
the Republican State Legislature and
asked Mr.. Hopkins if he upheld the
part that Senator Hanna took in the
passage of that measure.
Mr. Hopkins did not reply directly,
but stated that Senator Hanna needed
no endorsement from him.
The question whether franchises are
taxable in the state of Ohio was the
subject of warm discussion by both
speakers, Mr.. Johnson declaring that
franchises, as he understood the mean
ing of the word, are taxable, while his
opponent held the contrary view and
cited the opinion of Supreme Court
judges to uphold him.
The question was referred to the
chairman, George E. J. Blandin, an en-
inent lawyer, who replied that he did
not know whether franchises were tax
able or not.

principal demonstration of the day will
be held here.
The improved condition of the mines
was shown to-day when the output of
coal was the largest since mining was
resumed.
Mitchell Day is the anniversary Of
the close of the last big strike, Oct. 29,
1900, when the mine workers returned
to work, after having been out six
weeks, the owners having granted 10
per cent. increase i'm wages and other
concessions.
AS in the present strike, President
Mitchell then conducted the strike for
the mine workers.

SUING QUARTERMASTER.
Second Lieutenant ROssingcr Made
Defendant in Small Suit.

Second Lieutenant ROssinEer Made
Defendant in Small Suit
Butte. Mont, Oct. 27.-A special to
the Miner from Helena says:
Paul Rossinger of Stockett has been
made defendant in a suit commenced
by the United States district attorney.
The government claims that the de-
PENDANT, while second lieutenant and
acting quartermaster in the Tenth
United States Cavalry in Florida and
Alabama in 1898 and 1899, failed to ac-
count for a large amount of supplies,
together with S763 in money.
The supplies, it is claimed, aggre-
gate $l62.305 in value and consisted of
feed and other regimental supplies and
equipment furnished the regiment be-
tween July l, 1898 and July 1, 1899,
A government official stated that as a
matter of fact the government did not
expect to recover such amount as is
sued for. 1t was stated that Rossinger
had failed to properly account for the
supplies, but that he proved he had
turned them over to his successor when
he retired from the army on account
of i'll health. The defendant states that
he expended the money charged against
him for coffee for the regiment be-
tween August l and Nov. 1, 1898.
