OhiO's Irreducible Debt.

Missouri Republicans who have read
the tommyrot published by party Or
gans concerning the "looted School
Fund" will have some difficulty in ap-
preciating the sincerity or good sense
of the politicians who encourage that
sort of talk in this State, but do not
condemn the party responsible for the
stu, Hsin in Republican Ohio.
AcJ6rding to the Columbus Citizen,
the Crafts bill, appropriating $3.50, 900
to wipe out the bonded Indebtedness
of the State" was made law by its
final passage in the Senate; but, says
the Citizen, Ohio has an irreducible
debt on which it must pay $575, 900 in
terest per year. Thi. irreducible debt
is the State School Fund, the money
having been spent by the State for
current expenses, leaving the good
faith of the State as the only guarantee
behind the fund.
The School Fund of Ohio is not even
represented by certificates. When the
proceeds of the public lands were
turned into the treasury the money
was used for current expenses, the
account simply being carried on the
books. Nothing but the good faith of
the State and accurate bookkeeping
assure a permanent income to the
public schools.
In Missouri the money received from
the sale of lands and other sources has
been turned into bonds. The nego-
table bonds were Cancelled and non
negotiable bonds, or certificates, issued
in lieu thereof. For all practical pur-
poses the certificates are equivalent to
bonds. They are valid obligations of
the commonwealth to the Board OF
Education and cannot be repudiated
by any process of law.
If Missouri Republican politicians
think that the Democrats should be
turned out because of this business
like treatment OF the School Fund what
must be their consistent conclusion In
regard to the Republicans in Ohio?
If Missouri Democratic adninistra-
ton should be denounced, Ohio Re-
publicans should be hanged to the
nearest tree. That State has an ire.
ducible debt whose existence is only
in the minds of those administering
the School Fund.
Strange that this situation has moi
been made an issue in Ohio. This il
a particularly opportune time for the
raising of doubts regarding the wis
dom of Ohio's School Funds conduct
now that the entire bonded debt o.
every kind is to be liquidated. Re
publicans of Missouri must marvel al
this exhibition of criminality on the
part of Ohio partisans. Nothing LEFT
of the School Fund but debt of houor
A sad state OF affairs, indeed. CAM

age to remove the beam out of his

| OF course, as a matter OF fact, the
Ohio School Fund is safely founded or
the honor of the State. The income
will be paid to the schools. But it i:
an irrefutable assertion that if the ad
ministration of the Missouri Schoo
Fund has been bad, that Of Ohio hal

opportunity for the grossest fraud
1t was impossible for the judges and
clerks Of the election to watch the
voters and repeaters could have been
run in by the wholesale. We say
this without reference to either side.
Some people were allowed in the vot-
ing room who actually insisted on die
tatlng how some should vote. The
election officials were too busy to give
tine or attention. to anything going
on. The law says that persons vot-
ing at school elections must be resi-
dents of the district 30 days Little at
tention was paid to this. Any one
who came along voted, as the regis
tered names will show. That droves
of Mexicans who could neither read
nor write were there to offset the
votes of mothers who are interested
in good work in public schools, seems
a tough proposition, and there were
others voting who would not have
gone near the polls if they had not
been urged to save the day.
AS stated before the election, The
Herald has nothing against ]. C. San
ford as a man. but simply against the
methods employed which must be
detrimental to the schools of the city,
and which will have tendency to
cause more pupils to revolt at reas-
enable discipline and cause endless
friction. Mr. Sanford can do much to
stop this by pursuing the right kind
of policy. Now, that he is one of the
directors. all The Herald has to say
is to trust he will pursue a policy that
will be to the best interests of the
schools. This paper has no axe
to grind, We have upheld the board
of directors and management of the
schools because of the efficient work

MISUNDERSTANDING COLORADO.

The reopening of hostilties on the
island of Mindanao, in spite of every
effort to conciliate the Moros. is doubt
less another result of the support to
the Filipino cause which is being rem
dered by the fire-in-the-rear statesmen
who have been so active at Washing
ton of late.
Gen. Chaffee's first dispatch indi-
Gates that the American casualties
numbered nearly twenty five, most of
the men being wounded while charg-
ing and disloding the natives from an
entrenched position. Such feats of
gallantry are performed almost daily
in the Philippines by the American
soldiers. yet the Patersons and others
who seem to be lacking in the first
principles of patriotism, give ear only
to the vague water cure" rumors, and
have neither sympathy for the Amer
lean soldier in his difficult and dan
gerous work nor praise his gallantry
in action.
Doubtless these small statesmen
will have plenty of excuses for the
savage Moros who have refused all
conciliatory measures and who have
opened fire on the American soldiers.
But the country is becoming more
than tired of these small
souls at Washington, who seem to de-
light in seizing the slightest opportun-
ity of villifying American generals,
blackening the reputation of the
American private, and encouraging "a
half-civilized foe to shed American
blood. Patience has almost ceased to
be virtue in the cases of these men
who do not hesitate to encourage an
enemy in arms, and who have consti-
tuted themselves judge and Jury in
the investigation of acts committed
under stern military law. Colorado in
particular is ashamed of being repre-
sented by senators who seem to have
forgotten that they come from state
that throbs with heart-beats of pat
riotism. This state sent a model reg
iment to the Philippines. Its sons
fought with honor to themselves and
credit to Colorado. The state is proud
of it's soldier boys who fought in the
Philippines. and of those who are
fighting there now. But it is not
proud of it's senator's who do all in
their power to aid an active and
treacherous foe. The responsibility
for the fire-in-the-rear statesmanship
should be placed on the shoulders of
the individuals at Washington and not
on the patriotic commonwealth of
Colorado,-Denver Republican.

THE FEDERAL "oLEo" BILL.

After four years of industrious agi-
taLion the dairy interests of the coun-
try have secured the passage by con-
gress of what is known as the "oleo-
margarine BILL
Although the measure as it now
goes to the president is not recogniza-
able by it's authors, it retains the
most vital provision embodied in the
original bill, which imposes a tax of
10 cents a pound upon "oleo" artifi-
cially colored to look like butter of
any shade of yellow. Oleo that Is
free from artificial coloring is taxed
by the bill one-fourth of one cent per
pound. If the bill receives the sigma
ture of the president, as is regarded
YeT-' probable. any person who mixes
with olco any artificial coloration that
causes IL to look like butter becomes
manufacturer, and he is subject to
the tax imposed upon manufacturers.
These special taxes ranges from
$50 year on process or renovated
butter to 90 a year on adulterated
butter. These various artificial prod
ucts are very carefully and minutely
defined, and manufacturers who fail
to pay the taxes are punishable by
fine of not less than 900 and not

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The result of the school election
1t was conceded early in the day that
Sanford would be elected owing to
the usual rush of votes and the work
being accomplished by the lieutenants
of District Attorney Johnson who was
particularly anxious for his election
partially so, we have been informed
by one of the women supporting his
tause. because he was the paid at
torney of certain women TO make the
fight for them.
How true this is we are not pre-
pared to say. but it was told The Her
SD by one of Mr.. Sanfords supporters
and who became very wroth at the
course pursued by this paper. There
fore Mr.. Johnson, if the above is true,
had two-fold purpose in view.
Without going into details of desig-
mating who they voted for we must
say that yesterdays election was a
disgrace to the schools and nothing
to be proud of in any respect Some
have informed The Herald that not
over one-third OF those voting were
parents and not half taxpayers or in
terested in the schools one way or the
other This may be an error, but
that several hundred men. and a few
women. were rushed to the polls yes
terdaY and voted who have no more
interest in our schools than Adams

names of the voters will reveal this.

result of their search has been en-

make our capital the most beautiful

necessary to search the world over,

A BLESSING TO THE PHILIPPINES


General Macarthur told the plain
and simple truth when he said to
Senator Patterson that the presence
OF the United States in the Philippine
Islands was an unmitigated benefac.
ton to Filipino people. Men like
Senator Patterson who are fighting
the administration and trying to
throw discredit upon it because of the
course of events in the Philippines
portant fact that Gen MacAurthur
said is true.
The course of the senators who are
advancing petty objections and max
ing charges they may not be able to
sustain. is small and contemplate in
the face of the fact that the
United States is doing a great and
wonderful work in the Far East, the
benefit of which will inure not to the
people of this country but to the Fill
pinos. II so outweighs all the al
legged atrocities committed by few
Americans soldiers or marines that
the accusations become insignificant.
1t is possible that the soldiers who
have been accused will disprove these
charges, but whether true or false,
they are mere incidents of the estab-
lishment of American authority.
When the question of the disposi-
ton of the Philippines first arose.
both Senator Patterson and Senator
Teller were loud and vehement in de-
that the islands should be re-
tanned by the United States, and they
would be making the same clamor
now if it We're not for the petty. con-
teptible politics in which they are en-
gagged. They oppose the policy of
the government in the Philippines
simply because they want to make
spite of the fact that they at one time
declared in the most positive manner
that we should never let the islands
go.
The work the United States is do
ing in the Philippines is essential to
the welfare of that archipelago and
the establishment of free institutions
in the far East. 1t is a great task
for the performance of which this
adequate compensation. The Fill
pinos are not sufficiently advanced In
the arts of government to maintain a
free government of their own unaid-
ed by any outside power. II the auth
ority of the United States were with
drawn and the inhabitants were left
to their own devices, they would soon
become involved in revolutions and
civil wars and the hope of free gov
vernment would be dead. 1t requires
the strong hand of the United States
to preserve order and at the same
time lay the foundations of free insti-
tutions.
The Filipios are learning more and
more to appreciate the blessing that
American rule is to them and their
and they will do SO fully
when order is completely restored
and the civil power established. The
will become an outpost
for the civilization which gives birth
to and maintains free institutions, and
not those islands alone but all the re-
mainder of the Orient will share in
the benefit.-Denver Republican,

Thursday Manager Heron, of the
Tomboy, received a telephone from
the Denver chief of police that his
men had brought in man taken with
Argentine ore and a gold retort on
his person, of which he was trying
to dispose, and asking for instruc-
tions. 1t is impossible to identify
gold in a retort and almost impossible
to identify gold quartz, and realizing
the futility of a trip 10 Denver to prose
cute, Mr.. Heron told the chief to put
the fellow in the sweat box and get
what he could out of him. This was
done and in the evening the chief
wired that the man would give up
everything If he was given ticket to
Finland. Mr.. Heron instructed that
this be done and the balance of the
gold brick placed TO his credit, and
unless the Journal Is misinformed
quite a nice little sum awaits Mr..
Herron's order as his share of the
gold retort
The man was Finn and he has
