statement was unphilosophical. and If it
had any foundation at all it must have
been based on a very narrow generalization
of facts. There are women and women,
Just as there are men and men. 1t is not a
question OF sex. but of individuals. Some
men, like some women. are naturally prone
to nervousness and c%rankiness. Some
women as well as some men are natural
born workers and teachers, and are not
worn out by ten years or even twenty
years of service. Some Of the best teach
ers Of both sexes have taught even longer.
There is no sex in teaching ability, and
the energy, nerves and usefulness Of a
woman teacher are likely TO hold out as
long as those of a man.
The local discussion caused by the state
ment of the Milwaukee principal has
brought out the fact that there is a strong
preference in the School Board and on the
part of the superintendent in favor of men
teachers. This may be due in part to the
dominating influence of the German ele-
the world some excellent ideas in educa-
tionaI matters. but recognition of the equal
ity of women to men as teachers is not one
of them. Here, again. however. it must
be remembered that it is a question not of
sex, but of individuals. A teacher should
be judged by his or her work, and not by
sex

Fund for Monument Dedication.

The Journal has frequently urged the I'M
portance OF the making of small contribu-
tions to the fund TO meet the expenses at
tending the dedication of the monument,
on the ground that the monument itself Is
an object OF pride to every patriotic dweller
OF Indianapolis. 1t is too much the Gus
tom. when money Is needed for any public
demonstration, for those interested in it TO
make "a limited list Of merchants. manu-
facturers and other business men and prac-
tically make a levy for the money upon
them. Some of those who watch the work.

this or that enterprise are rather grateful
that they are not considered of sufficient
Importance to be the objects OF frequent

SO large a sum Of money as was desirable
will not be raised. The finance committee
would like TO raise more than 5000 more

dred men and women who take their friends

perpetual attraction worth paying for to
show to visiting friends as much as any
entertainment they can give, why would IL

GENERAL LEES WELCOME.

The most cordial greeting which General
Fitzhugh Lee received last evening on the
occasion of his lecture may be accepted as
evidence of the high regard entertained
for him by intelligent and patriotic people.
1t was no idle curiosity which brought out
the excellent and appreciative audience
last night, but an earnest desire TO show
to him that they appreciate the service
he rendered his country in recent years.
In the trying position in which he was
placed in Cuba during the years preceding
the war with Spain, and the courage. dig
nifty and tact with which he discharged
his delicate and difficult duties made his
countrymen proud Of such an American;
and none were more gratihed than those of
the political party to which he has always
been opposed. All were glad when the late
President Mckinley named and placed him
in a command which would have made him
the central figure in a campaign had not
the shutting up of the Spanish squad
ron in Santiago harbor made that city an
unexpected center Of military operations.
The North was pleased when the President
appointed 1tUSTdl Lee 10 lH6 regular army.
No feature was so significant as the earn
est desire OF Union veterans TO meet and
pay their respects to one who was a Con-
federate. Every x-Union veteran spoken
to regarding the really limited demonstra-
ton expressed the greatest satisfaction in
participation. All nave come to take a
broader and more rational view of the great
struggle of 1Se1-1S65. A contention involving
national existence had been appealed to the
arbltrament of war. A thousand influences
forced men to take one side or the other.
The men who fought in the Northern
armies would have fought as conscientious
ly on the other side had they been born
and reared in the South. The cause APP
| peaIed to wars harsh decision was fought
to the end. The Lees accepted the decision
at Appomattox, and from that. hour their
influence was for peace. Let us have
peace" was the prayer of General Grant,
and it was as fervently uttered in the re-
naming years of General Robert +. Lee.
In the prosecution of the bloody war the
great Confederate leader never for a mo-
ment forgot that high chivalry which
marked the name in the war for independ-
ence. These facts and the earnest desire
Of every fighting Union veteran to see a
united country, filed the heart of every
one of them who met General Fitzhugh
Lee in this city with a desire to express his
high regard for him as a man and as an
American.

blnations which are monopolies. which has
resulted in Generalization OF the market.
Railroad managers who are somewhat re-
sponsible for the alleged exactions OF the
packers are liable 10 feel the temporary
stagnation OF the cattle traffic and to re-
sent the Presidents action as an unwar-
ranted interference by predictions that they
may be compelled TO employ fewer men if
the prosecution goes on. But. whatever
happens, the President is determined 10 en-
force the laws, and that when those who
have been violating them offer evidence
that they will do so no longer the prOsecu-
tions Will cease. The combinations to mo-
nopolize the trade in cattle and meat have
been in existence twenty years. In 1883 the
Republican national convention first took
cognizance Of combinations The raisers of
cattle have complained all these years and
competitors in the packing and meat-sup-
ply industry lave declared that they were
driven out of the business by unfair meth
DDS and the favoritism Of transportation
companies. So long as the price of meat
was reasonable the public gave little heed.
When the combinations finally were so rash
as to advance prices beyond the natural
advance in the price of cattle the con-
sumers cried out. At the first note the
President began an inquiry to ascertain if
the packers were violating the laws. Hav-
ing discovered that they are, he proceeded
as he is sworn to do. The course he has
announced will be sustained by the coun-

FAILED TO PASS.
Sons of AdmiraIs Sampson and Philip
Not Admitted at Annapolis.


WASHINGTON, May 5.-The young sons
of Rear Admiral William 7. Sampson and
the late Admiral John w. Philip failed to
meet the requirements for admission to the
Naval Academy at the examination just
completed. Admiral Simpsons son was
the principal, and had been promised the
appointment by President Mckinley, which
promise was fulfilled by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Admiral Philips son was the alternate.
Both boys were examined with thirty-one
other candidates by the Civil-service Com
mission in Washington, and it was thought
they were well prepared for the ordeal.
The President may give young Sampson
another chance, but this is not customary.
Six hundred applications are now filed at
the Navy Department, and hundreds of
others are expected when it becomes
known the President has a vacancy at his
disposal. The President will adhere to a
policy laid down by President Cleveland,
of appointing boys to Annapolis who are
sons of officers and who frequently have
no residence in a Congress district. The
recent examinations were especially dis
astrous TO aspirants for naval glory, and
the reflections were larger in number than
usual. OF the %ninety-Odd candidates only
about thirty were accepted, leaving nearly
one hundred vacancies now existing.

BiddIe Brothers 10 Escape.

PITTSBURG, May 5.-Mrs. Kate Soffel,
the wife of Warden Soffel, of the Allie
gheny county jail, who figured in the sem
sational escape and recapture of the Bid

court this morning and entered a plea OF
guilty TO the charge of aiding and abet-
ting in the escape of the prisoners. She
will be sentenced next Saturday. The max
mum penalty is two years in the peniten-
tiary.
The courtroom was crowded to the doors,
many women being present and much curl
osity to see the prisoner was manifested.
Mrs. Soffel entered the room with a firm
step. She was accompanied only by her
physician and attorney. having made a
special request that none of her relatives
be present during the trying ordeal. She
was dressed neatly. unveiled and appeared
to have entirely recovered from the wounds
received during the battle between the BAN
dts and the officers. During the prelim-
inaries incident to the opening OF court she
showed little embarrassment and alked
freely with her attorney and physician.

This move is very distinctly American
and deals with some interesting phases of
American life and character. 1t is by Stew
art Edward White, author of The West
erners," and in 1t he continues TO work
a field that has not been overworked-that
of frontier and pioneer woods life. The
scene of The Blazed Trail" is laid in the
timber region of northeastern Michigan,
and the story deals largely with the 'lum-
ber-jacks" of the forest. Harry Thorpe,
the hero, a young man without education
but of great force Inc nobility of charac-
ter. is first introduced as a green LAND
locker but later on he establishes his
claim 10 a valuable tract of timber land,
organizes his camps and wins a great fight
against a powerful and encroaching lum-
Der corporation. He forms a partnership
with a college-bred young man, who has
plenty of money and a sister, who visits the
logging camp, accompanied by a young
lady friend, who falls in love with Thorpe.
and hom-but one must read the story to
learn how 1t turns out. The plot of the
story does not hang together very we'll,
but it's pictures of life in logging camps
and of the rough and ready men who toll
there are realistic and interesting. The
story is rather overbalanced by these de-
scriptiVe portions and details, yet they are
the best parts of it. The second part of
the story was originally published in Nc
