The Ignored Element.

The feature in the discussion and
action of the county and city superin-
tendentS Of schools that will impress
many who read the reports Of their re-
cent meetings is the largeneSs of the
demands they make upon the tax
payer and the absence of any regard
for the interests Of that important ele-
ment in the body polite. Possibly if
o Of those who call for larger ex-
penditureS were in a position where
they could realize the situation from
the viewpoint of the thousands to
whom the tax on a small home or
farm l. a burden, they would be less
emphatic in their demands based up
on the assumption that 1t is right to
take one mans savings to provide ad-
vantages for others. The outsider AND
the taxpayer have cause to inquire
whether it would not be better that
some restriction be placed upon the
privileges OF higher education at the
expense of the state and whether
those who are to be directly benefited
shall not be required to contribute to
the support Of such institutions. 1t
is not forgotten that many, and per-
haps most Of the students in the
states institutions are young people
OF limited means, but the man who
tolls wonders il students who have
money to pay fares over the state to
baseball and football contests cannot
just as we'll pay for tuition. s
Another normal school may be
needed, but it was declared about the
meetings last week that those who
are most Jealous hope to have the
operating of It. The Journal does not
make this charge; it simply repeats
what was heard about the meetings.
II another school Is necessary, Others
than localities interested and people
who entertain the single idea of OBJ
tanning what they believe to be neces-
sary regardless of the burden it i'm
poses, should ascertain the fact. A
lobby Of the superintendent such as
has been provided for-men already
in the pay of the public for services
should not have weight. To deter
mine If such a school is necessary a
legislative committee or a commission
independent of those who have shown
a professional interest in it should
make the investigation. Such an en-
terprise involves a large expenditure
at the outset and a large annual ap-

1t muSl be plain TO even the casual

Congressman Hepburn, Of Iowa,
hasa very simple method for taking
the fang out of vicious trusts. His
proposition is totax the watered stock
Of all corporations that are organized
on the grasping trust plan. The Iowa
mans scheme is somewhat similar to
the n suggested several months agc
by Senator Morgan, of Alabama.
Merged into one, these propositions
might form the basis for an entirely
effective and eficacious antitrust law

The Democrats of Mclean county,

county seat, had a great celebration

The fact is recalled that Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks might today be
president of the United States had he
consented 20 accept the vice presiden-

could have had by simply saying yes.
But he expected TO be d presidential
candidate in 1904, and he didn't care
to be politically Shelved" by being
made vice president. Fate some
times asserts itself quite unexpected.

The commissioner of Indian affairs,
in his annual report, says the govern

issuing rations to Indians and has
compelled them to toiIsfor >their liy-

that the noble red man could never be

Congressman Littelield, of Maine
is said to be busily engaged in fran

only 81, sss7,615.12. BY maintaining
the present levy for state purposes,

served that body in a religious sense,
will remove a notable figure from pub

quality that eve man possessed, and
though deprived of his sight he is
thoroughly learned in the sculptures

At one time DR.. Milburn was rector
of Trinity Episcopal church, Chicago,
and on every Sunday the church was
crowded b. those who went merely to
hear his reading of the service. 1t
came from the heart, was thorough

1t has been realized that at least two
of the four demands of the miners-a
uniform wage scale and weighing coal
cannot be satisfactorily settled IN

miners to make contracts with their
employees only does not carry with it
a recognition of the union and on that
ground it is not likely the parties will
be able to settle it without resort to
