1t is nothing less than a crime against

as they are, at least in the United States,
merely the agents of public extortion.
When Prof Morse found himself the au-

did not have the wisdom to accept the

Rumors of the impending resignation
Of Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
will not down. recapitulation Of them
| recently made comprises the following:
He lacks tact, he is austere, he freezes
visitors whose motives he suspects, he
has had friction with the president he
frets because some of his decisions have
been overruled. and he desires to retire
TO private life.
Any one of the reasons enumerated
above might be considered sufficient for
his retirement. He should have tact
that he may enhance the popularity of
his chief, he should be all warmth and
sunshine for the same reason, he should
smile and smirk at visitors, he should
not question the infallibility Of the pres
ident, and he should not retire to pri-
Vate life if his presence in the cabinet
will give the Missouri delegation to
Roosevelt.
These considerations aside, however,
there is another important phase of the
matter. That is the selection of a sue
cessor. The rumor Of intended retire
ment is accompanied by some speculation
as to the next man for the place The
president is said to have declared that
ne will go to the very far West" for
the next secretary of the interior Judge
Van DeYanter, of Wyoming and Con-
gresham Metcalf, of California, are
mentioned. 1t is also known that former
Senator Thomas H. Carter of Montana,
would not scorn the position.
The choice of a secretary of the in

HANNA Us. R0OSETErT

Within two years the campaign for the
presidential nominations of the two great
parties viii be at white heat In a few
months thereafter the nominations will
be made. It does not seem at all strange
that the question of the choice of candi-
dates should, even at this time, be one OF
active living interest
ON the Democratic side the situation is
wholly vague. Within a year it will
probably be impossible to say with any
approach to certainty who the Democratic
nominee viii be, or from what section he
will come Until the party heals old
wounds it is a safe prediction that the
list of Democratic candidates will not be
a long one.
The case is different on the other side.
President Roosevelt is the leading can
didate of his party. That he is a candi-
date his every official act shows. From
his early surrender to the demands of the
protected trusts, by declaring both against
tariff revision and reciprocity, to his at
ttude on the Cuban matter, he has made
it plain that his campaign is in full
progress.
Until within the past few weeks the
president was without serious COM
petitor 1t is not so today. He has the
ablest and shrewdest politician in the en-
tire country as his opponent. Marcus A.
Hanna, since his advent in American poll
tice, has proven himself a past grand
master in every art, good and bad, used
in politics for individual promotion. He
knows the value Of money as a political
agent, and he has no conjunction what
ever concerning the use to which he APP
plies it. Indeed, Senator Hanna may be
said to be the incarnation of the mighty
force which the dollar represents in the
conduct of political concerns.
it Is against such a man that Roosevelt
must contend if he is to secure his party s
nomination. The two have been arrayed
against each other since shortly afte,
the formers accession to the presidency:
and the action of the president In ap-
pointing his present postmaster general.
and in disregarding the weight and in
fuence before represented by Hanna as
chairman of the national committee in the
distribution of the official patronage was
in the. nature of a challenge to the older
man. The challenge has been accepted;
and it is now safe to say that the two
chief contestants of the Republican pres
ddential nomination will be Theodore
Roosevelt. of New York, and Marcus A.
Hanna, Of Ohio.

RURAL SCHOOL READING
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO M
PROVE AND INCREASE 1T
Less Than 20 Per Cent of Public
School Reading Done in COun-
try Disfriets-Change in
Law Suggested.

Among other educational changes which
the next legislature will be asked to
make will be one changing the complex
ion Of the state library commission so
as to give the rural schools representa-
ton on the board. AT present the board
ls composed of the presidents of the
state normal boards, while the state
superintendent is secretary of the COM
mission. All books selected for the
public school library list are examined
and approved by these presidents The
change is not desired because of dissat-
faction with the present members of the
board, but it is felt that inasmuch as
the work of the board relates far more to
the rural and high schools of the state
than to the normal schools, these other
interests should have representation on
the board
The one weak thing about the pres
ent system is that the rural schools
cannot possibly select a suitable school
library unless they have assistance
There are over 1850 titles in the official
catalogue, and all Of the listed books are
books with WHICH no fault can be found,
but 1t is no easy matter to select from
this list of 1000 books a small country
school library. School directors too often
select library at random, and get a lot
Of books that are practically worthless in
their school, however good and valuable
the DOCKS may be. 1t has been suggested
that a special catalogue containing 4
selection Of books especially suited to the
needs Of the average rural school should
be issued each year, so that a district
might select from the list without dan
ger of securing any books that would
prove useless. AS the main purpose Of
this library commission is supposed to
be the upbuilding of rural school libra
ries and to stimulate and encourage read
ing on the part of country pupils, it is
believed that there should be a represent
ative county superintendent on the board
who could represent the rural schools
Of the half million books read every
year by the public school children of the
state, less than 20 per cent are read by
the pupils of the rural schools
The library commission has thought Of
asking a number of county superintend-
ents to submit lists of 100 books espec-
tally adapted to the needs of the average
rural school. in order that the next cat
alOgue might contain a supplementary
list Of from $50 to 300 volumes for the as
sistance of country school officers de
string to purchase school libraries
One of the educational leaders of the
state said recently: '"One of the greatest
problems we have to face is the problem
Of getting the country pupils into the
reading habit It is to accomplish this
purpose that the proposition to change
the makeup of the library commission
has been advanced.

TWO BIG DIVIDEND PAYERS

Special to The Globe.

CHICAGO, March 29.-Frank A. MunSey
may be able to fool the general pubic
into the belief that in earning $69S, 600 with
his magazine last year he broke all news
paper and periodical records except that
of the New York Herald. There are seN-
eral people in Chicago who could tell Mir.
Munsey how far wide of the truth he is.
Although for reasons best known to them
selves they are not going around trum-
peting the fact, there are two newspaper
publishers in this town who know that
Mr.. Munsey has shot wide Of the mark
For instance, if Victor F. Lawson We're
required to swear to his profits on the
Daily News for the year ending Dec. 81
last, he would say the figures are some
what in excess of $4,000. Moreover he
is just now in a position to say that there
has been an increase in his business dur
ing the past three months OF close 10
10 per cent including a growth of more
than 10000 in circulation. Another Chica-
go newspaper man, Robert w Patterson.
sOn-in-law of the late Joseph Mediu, is in
a position to tell a story of Wonderful
newspaper earnings. The Chicago Tribune
last year passed the 500, 600 mark by many
thousands. And the Tribune, too, is NOV
ing right up the line, breaking all its pre-
ViOus records Last Sunday the Tribune
received over its counters approximately
S. $50 for wants, $26, $50 for display ad-
vertising and s., 475 for circulation, or more
than $4,000 for a single seventy-six page
issue of the paper.
And One Man Overlooked.
This covers the big dividend payers in
the daily field, but there is one other
Chicagoan who could probably challenge
Mr.. Munsey's statement, the irrepressible
Boyce. who is actually printing more than
million copies of his three publica tons
at each issue. Boyce isn't making a mil
lion dollars from Christmas to Christmas
but how many hundred thousand does he
lack of it?
In spite, however, of the fact that
much money is being made here in the
publication of daily papers a war cloud
