A DECLARATION FOR PROGRESS

The platform adopted by the Dem
ocratic state convention at Calves
ton is declaration for progress. II
deals with some of the live questions
Of material progress now claiming
the attention of the foremost
thinkers of the state. The clap
trap political Issues are passed I'M
noticed, and one can almost see
Texas entering upon an era OF i'm
dustrial development unparalleled
in her history. 1t is a good omen,
and one which this paper is glad to
note.
Industrial education is empha-
sized and the legislature requested
to make ample provision for this
work. No greater need 10 apparent
today than that of industrial educa-
ton. The state should be extreme
~ liberal with the A. d NJ. college.
This institution is doing more for
the improvement of farming condi-
tons in Texas than any other one
factor of the state. II is demon
strating that there is money in
farming, and is giving the young
men who attend it such training in
intelligent farming as will turn
many of them from the cities to the
fields and people the virgin acres of
the state with prosperous, happy
families. The demand for good
roads is another evidence of this
progress, and the suggestion of
working the county roads with short
term convicts suggests one way in
which this result may be accom-
plished sThe declaration for textile
school in connection with the A. &
NJ. college is another step in the
forward movement of indu strial de-
velopment. The cotton manufact-
uring industry is right at its begin
ming and the establishment of a
school for teaching of textile arts
will be a powerful impetus to its
growth. In these things the plat
form shows the democratic party Of
Texas to be party of progress.
The party is again due a just
mead of praise for its generous de
clarations in favor of Galveston.
This is the great seaport of the
south and west. The national gov
eminent is spending millions of dol
lars to make it of value to this
people, and is but right the state
should lend its assistance to the city
in this time of its great need.
This paper is not particularly
concerned about the uniformity or
non-uniformity of primaries. 1t is
anxious to see the primaries free
from the abuses that have existed

a PARTYS SACRIFICE.

The white Republicans OF Virginia are
besurlng themselves and are making
ready Tor a night with the Democrats
in spite OF their recent protests they are
glad beyond expression that the negro
mas been eliminated and they see an OPP
portunity that has not presented Itself
TO them since Mahone's overthrow. Some
of them are frank enough to confess as
nucn. and TO confess that they are Elac
10 nave done with The negro.
There is suggestion just here that
we. would throw out to our critics ut
the North. 1t has been time and again
asserted BY the northern Republican
newspapers that the Democrats or vlr-
gina determined TO get rid OF the negro
IN order TO perpetuate the rulo OF the
democratic party. The fact is that the
best way to perpetuate the rule OF that
party in Virginia were to keep the negro
In politics. and Democrats know It..

mere was no question OF Democratic
supremacy IN Virginia. so long as there
was great mass or negro voters 70
contend WIN. Democrats thoroughly
understood that, and some Democrats
were opposed to a Constitutional Con-
venton. were opposed to any change in
the Suffrage plan, on tho ground that
TO eliminate the negro, would be TO
make 1t possible Tor the Republican
party TO succeed. But tho great Lody
OF Democrats would not listen to such
reasoning Tney saw that the negro
vote had been for years a source OF cor
ruption in the State and they determined
to get nd OF It in order to purify tho
politics or the State. no matter what
should be the effect on the fortunes OF
the Democratic party. They determined
to purify the politics OF the State and

it Will probably be revelation to some
or the Republicans at the North who

witness in yourselves. Do not wait for
posterity to build the cairns: build your
own memorials J. Posterity will como and
read them, but we must build our own
affairs, to proclaim what God hath demo
for US.
We will want every inch OF land. Tho
whole earth will BIO filled with the d.
vino presence and glory. Each room IN
the house would be church; every win
dow would look towards the Jerusalem
that is above; every chair an altar.
We cannot then begin too soon. Tho
moment tho first conviction Is wrought
In tho mind, build you- stone memorial
and keep at it vowins never to retire
behind 1t, for it points toward your
brightest future.
Tho calrn was to be a sign among the
1sraelites. It was In Itself recital OF
history; that this was done. and on such
a day this was accomplished. Are there
not questions and facts in all our hves
Do you live in troubled cloud. or IN
house which hath foundations whose
builder and maker is God?'
When your children ask about your
gray hairs and signs that have no
words: when they ask you about kneel-
ing st your altar: what is your reply!
Do not be ashamed OF your history.
Keep steady along the line of fact. Tell
what has happened to you, and that you
fear God in tho hearing Of the enqulr-
er.
This every man can do. He may be
10 philosopher or genius but he must
know his own story, and be able to e1-
plain in some degree his indebtedness to
the power and mercy OF Gcd.
How shall it be with US? Blessed are
they whose lives suggest questions! Moro
blessed still those whose explanations
magnify the glory of God
There is a Jordan before every one OF
US. That Jordan must be passed. We
call it death. We speak of it as the
last, black river. Sometimes with pain
full wonder we ask what shall We DO
'in the swellings of Jordan?"
To the Christian. Jordan IL already
passed. IN material sense the little
conquest has yet to be won, But In
AL its spiritual significance and glory,
JORDAN is dried up, and they who are
Il, Cllist Jesus. the great High Priest
OF the everlasting covering, walk
through the bed Of the rive as upon

This is our Christian confidence; this
is our spiritual life and death. For
death is abolished. All has been COM
pleted in the resurrection of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Ali that follows is as
sweet cadence OF bliss-more abundant
life, Joy and Immortality.

days work, but have lived by their

he who tells him the truth. The true
friend Of organized labor Is he who
II they will. but let them not resort to
tactics OF brutality
Now. there is the plain truth. uttered
by a public speaker and ofilce-holdcr
who has the courage to speak 1t. There
is something which does not flatter nor
ca1ole, but It's utterance is in friendship
for organized labor. No organization
which adopts this un-American principle
can have permanent success IN free
America, and the man who tells the la
boring man so does him a kindness.
Let me say to you again." Mr.. Jerome
went on, that unless this demagogtsm
ceases capital will be aroused. Capital
is cowardly, but when driven into a
corner and compelled to fight no man
fights more fiercely than does the cow
ard. None is moro ruthless, more pitt
less and moro cruel Once capital is
aroused in earnest against organized
labor it will crush it in the dust and.
for some time at least, the liberties OF
this country will be thing OF the past"
That is not threat but friendly
warning. We do not believe that capt.
tai will ever be able to crush labor-not
in free America; but neither will labor
be able to crush capital. Employer and
employees must deal honestly and Justly
with ono another and whenever either
side becomes arrogant and unjust and
tries to abuse its power. it will come to
grief.
The man who fails to recognize this
plain truth !. blind indeed. be he capital
list or be he laborer.

Mir. Miles and the Chairmanship.

To the Editor of The Time:
Sir,--The interest that has been awak-
ened by the statement that MIR. George
w Miles, headnlaster of st. Adams, would
resign his position from that school and
from the Board Of Visitors of the Uni
versty of Virginia in order to accept
the professorship of economics of the Uni
versity OF Virginia as welt as that of
chairman OF the faculty. has created
great deal of discussion. all OF which
was not complimentary TO Nh. Miles. The
writer has been intimately associated
with the University for many years, and
is informed as TO its management ana
aims The writer also has personal
acquaintance with Mr.. Miles covering
number OF years
In view of the criticism which has
been made, it is only fair to say that
whatever the propriety may be OF a mem
her of the Board Of Visitors reslsnlns to
accent a professorship in the University
Of Virginia. it is not only possible but
bir;,Iy probable that MI. Miles has placed
himself in this position with the sole
purpose of desiring 10 advance the Wei
fare of the University 1t IS discredIt-
able alike to the University, the Board OF
visitors and the State of Virginia to sug-
eest that politics has entered into the
caIc1,ra tons of those who are connected
with this proposed Change. l ne IrtItiI -
that in all likelihood an intimate asso-
citation with the government of the Uni
versity in the capacity of a member of
no Board OF Visitors led Mr.. Miles to be-
;ieye that a more centralized and agrees
sivn policy would be of advantage to the
whole Institution. So feeling. there is no
ed to discredit his motives or those or
the other members of the board, who are
supposed to have promised to vote for
him. by believing that either side was
actuated by any other desire than that OF
| furtherng the best financial and educa-
tional interest of the University.
This is neither the time nor opportunity
for discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of adopt
ing such method for increasing the ef-
ticiency OF the University as that IN
VOWED in a peripatetic chairman. with
the power OF president. It is sufficient 70
call attention to the fact that Mr. Niles
has always had the welfare OF the INT
yersity at heart, and there is no Just
ground for believing that If he SHAH DC
raised to the craftsmanship it Will Dc
through any other reason than his de-
sire to still further increase the useful
ness of vIrginia's greatest institution OF
learning.
I am. with great respect.

a NOTABLE ADDRESS.

District-Attorney William TraVers Je-
rome of New York, delivered notapie
address recently in that city on Inc
Political Future of New York; Our laoi-
yidua! Responsibility for its Govern
,rent,' The address was notable be-
canse it dealt with some phases OF the
so-calIed labor problem with frankness
and courage.
..rhere is little danger" said the Dis
trjct-Attorney, "of labor organizations
being attacked from any public plat
form. Men generally talk nonsense
when they talk about labor. They at
tack the trusts, though, because that
is nopular, and such talk is a good vote
cetter. / am not hunting for votes.
When labor leaders talk to me they do
not talk buncombe. 1t is only when
they are addressing an audience that
they say what they do not mean"
The strange part Of it is that iaborins
men will listen to all the nonsense that
is talked to them by professionals whose
business il is to talk buncombe, and
not only listen but applaud. They know.
or ought TO know. that the professionals
are talking for votes and that they wl!l
talk any sort of way for votes. Yet
MANY of them swallow the sugar-coated
phrases and seem TO relish them. 1t Is
strange indeed that sensible men Will
hermit themselves to be so easily gulled.

why any sensible man should take pleas
