Hanna, Aldrich, Spooner, Allison
and Lodge, and Postmaster General
Payne, took place at Oyster Bay on
Tuesday and, while none of the gen
tlemen named are of a particularly
communicative character, certain de-
tails have reached Washington in
regard to the conference. AS report
ed here, is was decided that any revi-
sion of the tariff would prove mimi
cal to the financial interests of the
country at this time and for that
reason none will be advocated by the
President or any of the authorized
representatives of the Republican
Congressional Committee. It is
further reported that the ~conferees
assented to Mr.. Roosevelt's views on
Cuban reciprocity and to his trust
policy and that those two subjects
will furnish the basis of most of his
speeches on his Western trip. The
President will dwell with special en-
phasis on the evils of certain trusts
and the necessity of vesting in the
Federal Government the power to eff
feet their control when they exceed
certain bounds. It may be said in
this connection that those in a posi-
ton to know best, and who have
been seen in Washington recently,
are unanimous in their opinion that
the Cuban reciprocity policy which
Mr.. Roosevelt so urgently advocated
during the last session of Congress
will prove successful this winter and
that a bill granting reciprocal con-
cession to Cuba of at least 20 per
cent will be rushed through both
branches of Congress with compare
lively little opposition.

South American Revolution.

Two revolutions are progressing
among our Southern neighbors; and
in both Colombia and Venezuela the
reyolutionists seem to have the best
of it. 1t is easy to gather from the
press reports various details of these
petty wars, but it is not SO easy to
make out what it is all about, or how
much either country would gain or
lose by putting the reins of govern
ment into other hands.
The average Spanish-American
Republic is governed by methods
hard to understand. The party in
power takes very efectua1 means to
retain it's power indefinitely; so that
the "outs" have no means of ever
getting to be Gins" except by revolu-
ton. Add to this the fact that most
of the more intellectual and better
educated men of those countries re-
gard the labor of filing government
positions and Of living we'll on the
wealth of others as the only work
sufficiently genteeel for them, and We
have a sufficient explanation of the
fact that revolution is almost the
rule in some Of these unfortunate
Republics.-Nashville Christian Adj
vocate.

HENDERSON'S RETIREMENT AND
THE CONFERENCE OF REPUB-
LICAN LEADERS.
The Facts About Two Important Matters.
Reported for The Progressive Far
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Like rain out of a clear sky, to use
the expression of Secretary Wilson,
came the announcement that Speak
er Henderson had declined the nomi-
nation for the F~ifty-eighth Congress.
At first, Washington politicians re-
fused to believe the telegraphic dis
patches which began to arrive here
on Tuesday evening, but as further
particulars came over the wire, in
Guiding the letters of the Speaker to
the chairman of the notification com
mittee and to the Republicans of his
district, no room was left for doubt
and then the universal question be-
came, Why did he do it? 1t has been
known for some time that there were
two influential factions in Iowa, one
headed by Senator Allison and in
Guiding General Henderson and Sec
~retaries Shaw and Wilson, and the
other headed by Governor Cummings
with whom are associated Senator
Dolliyer, Nh. George E. Roberts, di-
rector of the mint, ct al. 1t has long
been the intention of Senator Ali
son to secure the election of Speaker
Henderson to succeed himself, when
he shall have concluded his sixth
term in the Senate. It is probable, if
not certain, hat the election of Gen.
Henderson to the Senate would be
vigorously opposed by the Deliver
Cummings-ROberts faction and by
some it was assumed that the
triumph of the latter faction in shap-
ing the tariff-trust plank in the Iowa
State platform had been taken by
Mr.. Henderson to indicate that there
was little prospect of his succeeding
the senior Senator from Iowa and
therefore he did not believe it worth
his while to remain longer in the
House, to the neglect of his law
practice. Still others believe that
the Speaker desires and believes he
will be renominated and that such a
course by the Republicans of his dis
trict would be an emphatic endorse
ment of his opposition to tariff revi-
sion and a virtual qualification of the
State platform. Some of those most
intimate with the personal affairs Of
the Speaker declare that he has
chosen this occasion to retire grace
fully from Congress for the reason
that he is a Door man and cannot af-.
ford to- longer devote himself to the
exacting work which falls to him as
Speaker. The deepest regret at the
action of the Speaker is expressed
by all Republicans, but that has not
prevented speculation as to his prob
able successor, Representative Can
non, Representative L~ittlefeld, and
others having been named as likely
candidates. The Democrats, of
course, claim that the Speaker fore
sees the defeat of his party in the
House, and that he is unwilling to
remain in Congress in a less impor-
tant position than that of Speaker.

Washington Cor. Post: The Pop

While he admits there is nothing do
ing among Populists this year, he is
looking forward hopefully to 1904.
In his opinion the Democratic party
is going to throw Mr.. Bryan down
and nominate Hill or German for
the Presidency. This he believes will
make the Populist party stronger
than ever, resulting in the capture
of those Democrats who are tied to
the Kansas City and Chicago plat
forms.
Several State party conventions
were held last week. Massachusetts,
Democrats at Boston nominated Col.

and refused to indorse the Kansas

Democrats, meeting at Tacoma,
voted Endorsement of this platform.
New Hampshire Republicans nomi-
mated Nahum j. Bachelor for Coy

nominated Abraham Chamberlain

after a hot debate, indorsed Presi-

in 1904.
State elections were held in Ar
kansas September 1st and III Yer

the Democratic candidates for State
offices and for Congress were elect
ed by large majorities. The Yer
mont election turned upon local is
sues. The Republican vote was split
by an Independent 'higb-license"
ticket, and the Republican candi-
dates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, although they led their
competitors, failed to receive the
majority of votes cast which the Yer
mont constitution requires for an
election. This throws the choice of
Governor and Lieutenant Governor
into the Legislature. The rest of the
Republican State ticket and the Re
publican nominees for Congress were
elected by the usual majorities.-Ex-

The Speakership problem will be
a tough one for the Republicans, if
they carry the next House, with Hen

would no doubt like to have the job.

THE REVENUE OF A PAPER.
Good Service in Advertising should be Paid
for by all Glasses.

Good Service in Advertising should be Paid
for by all Glasses.
Many persons have vague and pc.
culiar notions concerning a newspa-
per's source of revenue. Some inno-
cent souls go so far as to imagine that
newspapers are printed solely through
philanthropic motives and that their
columns belong to the public, who
have an unquestioned right to fill them
with communications setting forth
their own peculiar views. Still others
have an idea that advertisements are
merely to fill up space. A brother
deeply interested in church work who
remarked: 1--WE are going to have a
celebration at our church. Then the
paper will have enough to fill up with
and not have to print SO many of those
horrid advertisements" That is just
like the ma jority of them.
For the information of those not ia
miliar with newspaper work it may be
interesting for them to know that
newspapers are printed for the same
reason that shoes and furniture and
hats are made-to sell to provide an in
come for those who invest their mon
ey. The columns of the newspaper
are its wares, and the use of them is
sold to persons in other lines of bust
ness who desire to advertise their es-
pecial wares. The revenue received
from advertisements-d and To-
cal eaders-is what sustains a news
paper, just as the profits that the gro
Ger makes on his goods enables him to
live and continue business.
Probably no men in business are
more liberal than the publishers of
newspapers. Column after column of
gratuitous advertising is done for
church and charitabl entertainments,
secret society socia1s, amusements,
ETC., so that many persons have con-
ceived the idea that the newspapers
should deem it privilege to tell the
public of their nice little schemes to
make money for their organizations.
The publisher of country paper is
a phi1anthropist. but is opposed to be-
| ing worked" too lard in that line. A
worthy cause will always be given a
reasonable amount of ''free advertis-
ing but affairs promoted to make
money should expect to pay for any
publicity accorded by the local press.

Bookkeeper Of the Chicago Brass
Works is Named as Assistant
Auditor for American Brass Co.
He WILL GO EAST AT ONCE
John Terry. Of the Ansonia Company. Sent
to Kenosha to Relieve New Assistant
Auditorium Unsolicited Honor.

F. W. Gray, for three and a half
years head bookkeeper for the Chicago
Brass Company in this city, was given
very agreeable surprise Wednesday
afternoon when the General Auditor
of the American Brass Company
walked into the Kenosha office of the
company and ordered Mr.. Gray to put
on his coat and hat and get ready to go
to Waterbury. This change Of 1oca-
ton was demanded on account of the
fact that Mr.. Gray has just been ap-
pointed Assistant General Auditor of
the American Brass Company. He
will make his headquarters in the East
and will begin his new duties with the
first Of the month.
The position, which is one of the
best in the gift of the big Brass Trust,
came as complete surprise to the Ke-
nosha man. He had made no app1ica-
ton for any change in position and
was considered most va1ua bic man in
the local Office. His selection, how
ever, is great honor for the Kenosha
man, as the managers of the trust had
more than hundred expert bookkeep-
ers and accountants to select from, and
the fact that Mr.. Gray was connected
with one of the smallest plants in the
trust gave little reason for him to ex-
pect the position.
In order TO make it possible for Mr..
Gray to begin his new duties at once
John Terry accompanied the General
Auditor from Ansonia, Conn, and he
will succeed Mr.. Gray in the Kenosha
office of the company.
The high honor to Mr.. Gray comes
as recognition Of merit and faithful
service fol the company. Mr.. Gray
entered the employ of the company
some three and a half years ago and
for a time was employed in the Chi
cago Office. When the office was re-
moved to Kenosha Mr.. Gray was
placed in charge of all the books of the
company and he has proved his value
to the company.
Mr.. Gray and his family will make
their home in Waterbury and they will
leave for their new home the latter
part of this month. The many friends
of Mr.. Gray in Kenosha will be pleased
to extend congratulations to him on
this splendid recognition of his SER
vice by his employers.

County Superintendent George Taylol
Makes His Annual Report to
Superintendent Harvey.
A YEAR OF GREAT PROGRESS
The Schools Have Had an Average Attend
ance of 1868 During the Year
Teachers Are Well Paid.

The country schools of Kenosha
county will rank favorably with the
schools of any county in the state and
this fact was plainly shown by the an
nua1 report of County Superintendent
George Taylor, which was sent TO
State superintendent Harvey this af-
ternoon. The year has been a year Of
great progress and new methods have
been introduced in many of the schools.
The attendance during the year
reach he'd the high water mark Of 1888,
the largest attendance ever known in
the schools of the county. Fifty-eight
teachers are employed for the work of
the different schools, and the total sum
Of money expended for the education
Of the children was $24, $4,000. This is
an average expenditure of 1914 for
each child educated.
The county can well be proud of the
corps of teachers employed under the
direction Of County Superintendent
Taylor, and it is probable that the Ke-
nosha county teachers are better paid
than those of any other county in the
state. The average wage Of the male
teachers employed in the county is
$46.10, while the lady teachers are re-
ceiving an average salary of $35 90 a
month.
During the year just past Superin-
tendent Taylor has issued "a certif-
Gates to teachers; So to females and II
to males.
One teacher in the city holds a life
certificate, while one is the holder of a
county superintendent certificate.
There are three normal school gradu-
ates teaching in the county schools,
while forty-three of the teachers,
large majority, have attended the
normal courses. Six Of the teachers
have attended the colleges of the
State.
The report shows that the Superin-
tendent has visited sixty-seven schools
during the year. The statistics of the
number of children in the different
towns as we'll as the number of schools
and the amounts paid for teachers dur
ing the year follows:
