SENATOR HANNA, during his recent
visit to New York, warned the presi-
dents of the coal roads that the public
had about reached the limit of endur-
ance; and that if the strike was con-
tinued until Congress meets they
would be liable to hear something drop.
"These people do not know what
sort of volcano they are living over, F."
said the Ohio Senator. 81 can tell
them something they ought to know.
Ninety per cent of the American peo-
pie sympathize with the strikers and
are against the operators in this fight.
If the strikers need more money than
organized labor can raise to carry on
the battle the people at large are will
ing 70 subscribe. I know of business
men who are willing to contribute
large checks rather than see the men
starved into submission. They be-
1ieve it would disgrace to American
manhood if Baer and his associates
we're q bic to win the victory through
the brute force of capital held in stub
born hands.
eff this strike is still on when Con
gress meets Baer and his friends
will hear something drop. Four-fifths
of all the men elected to the House
this year will be pledged to take drastic
action against the coal monopoly.
There may be some difficulties in get
ting at the question, but the way will
be found. The railway presidents
who stand out and say they have moth
ing to arbitrate and no concessions to
make are doing more harm to the Re-
publican party and breeding more dis
content and socialism than anything
else that ever was known in this
country

WHILE keeping your eye on the
wonders Of the carnival, do not forget
to keep your hand on your pocketbook.

LA TOILETTE opened his campaign
in Milwaukee last night before large
and enthusiastic audience, and from
now on the war of the politicians will
be fast and furious in the State. The
Governor did not stoop to personalities
in his speech and it is to be hoped that
the campaign may be kept free from
mud singing on his side at least.

GLOVER FROM GLovERsvILLE.
New York Man Wants Kenosha Men to As
sist Him to Build a Factory.

sist Him to Build Factory.
A unique factory proposition has
been presented to the Business Mems
Association by w. S. Cole, of G1overs-
vile, New York. Mr.. Cole claims to
be practical manufacturer of gloves
and mittens and he is ready to open a
factory as soon as he can secure some
assistance. He has looked over Keno
sha and thinks that it is just the place
for glove factory.
He writes to the business men for
assistance and in consideration of this
assistance he offers to allow the donors
to take chattle mortgage on his plant
to insure them against loss. This is
certainly the right spirit for man to
go into the factory business, and it
might be well for some of the people
of the city to investigate the demands
of the glover from Gloversville.

LAST night was practically the first
of the carnival and enough people
turned out to convince the promoters
of the carnival and the managers of
of half way decent weather the carni-
val would be a success. AS is gen.
orally the case at carniva1s, the crowd
was extremely good natured and not
disposed to be undu1y critical, but if
the managers want to get the people
down town that spend the money, and
it goes without saying that they do, a
certain rowdy element must be shown
that there is vast difference between
carnival fun and rowdyism. The man
with the bladder, for instance, must be
suppressed. Besides being an unnit-
igated nuisance his "kind of fun is
dangerous. These contrivances had
not been on the streets FIVE minutes
last night before some rowdy struck a
lady square in the face with one. The
1ady's glasses were broken by the
force of the blow and the glass cut her
cheek, missing the eye-bal1 by only a
fraction of an inch. This sort of thing
ought not to be tolerated for a
moment. The carnival ought to be as
safe for ladies without escorts, and
even for children, as it is for men
able and willing to take care Of them
selves and if it is to be success it will
be made so.

THE record made by the candidates
of the various universities has again
served to call attention to the defects
of the modern advanced" methods of
education. It is a condition, not a
theory, that confronts us, and unless a
radical change in the results of the use
of the modern methods is speedily
brought about, those who advocate a
return to the old methods will soon be
in the majority. The following edi-
torial from the Chicago Tribune is
timely and forcibly calls attention to
one of the most noticeable shortcom-
ings of the modern system of elemen-
tary education:
'"The revolt against the so-ca11ed
modern methods of teachinglspel1ing
is not new one. Like the rebellions
in Honduras it is periodical and peren-
nial, and breaks out afresh every fail
when the new classes of freshmen are
examined for admission to college and
university. Whenever a bold critic
ventures to express his disgust and
wonder that the product Of present day
high schools knowsso little about or
typography he is met with vo1ley of
talk about INSTALLATION, sword
methods" and other rapid fire appa-
ratus, and he hurries to cover and
tries to forget that "A per cent of the
candidates for admission to one uni
versity spelled occurrence" with one
r,
Most of the present adult generation
learned to spell in the old way-to
judge by results it would be fair to call
it the good old way. 1t was Fc-a-t-cat-
o-g-u-e-log.catalog, and so on
through the whole list. Few, indeed,
of them realized as they conned over
and over their spelling books that they
were pursuing the "sy1labic method
which has long been pronounced by
modern theorists to be obsolete and
unnecessarily tedious. They got
through the speller without entertain
ing this hideous suspicion, and the
most that any of them knew when the
work was done was to spell ordinary
English words correctly. But it is not
on record in those days that out of any
$50 candidates for admission to the
freshman class of a university, all of
whom had had high school educa-
ton or it's equivalent, more than A
per cent misspe1led in writing more
than twenty common English words
out of total of 200.
Doubtless there are some good points
about INSTALLATION" and "the word
method" Doubtless they are easier
than ''the syllable method" and save
mental drudgery" on the part of pu-
pills. But it should be fair, speaking
generally, to judge any method by its
results. And while college students
are such VIGOROUSLY poor spoilers it
may be fair, if exceedingly daring, TO
suggest that in their earlier education
little more mental drudgery" might
be advantageously sandwiched in be-
tween the various modern and scien-
tifc labor saving methods which, IN
some directions, are fast making the
public school training more pleasant
and easy than profitable.
''In the meantime the 118 members
of the class at Northwestern may COM
fort themselves with the feeling that
they are at least serving to once more
call public attention to one of the most
outrageous abuses in modern elemen-
tary education"
