Education Going Mad.

The founders of the republic never
meant that the federal authority
should meddle with popular educa
tiop.
Their design was clearly sketched
in allotment of public lands fol
schools under state and territorial
control There is no instance in
of unanimity on their part in the
detachment of the common schools
from the power of the politicians
directing federal machinery.
Secretary Wilson purposes reversing
the progress of the country and re-
buking the fathers of the constitution.
He would intrude federal authority
upon the common school system on
the pretext that we have not farmers
enough The best thought of the
nation will not tolerate the reversion-
AIRY proposal thus indicated.
Every agricultural state has already
made adequate provision for the
promotion of scientific farming. No
educational system conceivable would
have prevented large masses of the
people of all countries from DESERVING
the farm for the town and the factory
when the era of mach inery set in.
Industrial production attained phe-
nomenal dimensions so rapidly and SO
profitably that the. rural population
WAS caught in its fasci nation and ag
riculture declined wherever forges and
factories multiplied. Nor is the trend
over.
Agricultural conditions in the
British islands have been revolution
lied by AN economic evolution and the

The Financial Situation.

The opinion of former controller
James H. Eckels on the financial and
commercial situation is always of
value. He is keen observer and a
good judge OF conditions. Having
just returned from "a tour of the west
his utterances are Of universal inter.
est. He looks for large crop this
year, but does not conceal the fact
that money rates will continue COM
paratively high. He says:
California and all the Pacific coast
states are enjoying great degree of
good times. In the last few years
the rainfall has been adequate and in
consequence the states are growing in
wealth. Banks in that territory are
now buying largely of eastern COM
mercial paper because former home
borrowers. having liquidsted their in.
debtedness, are not on the market for
money. In consequence the banks are
forced to find Investments for their
lonable funds outside of the state.
found southern California WAS greatly
interested in the Panama canal,
believing it would add impetus to
trade.
Wheat along the line over which
travelled in Kansas and Iowa is in
splendid condition and gives every
evidence at this time of large crop.
AS to the general business situa
tion, it is in every way good. For
that and other reasons do not expect
to see much in the way of promotions
of new enterprises. The quantity of
securities undigested is large, aud
expect to see a sluggish period. but
not a dangerous one. The securities

time when they will be absorbed.
Aside from the actual business needs
of the country there has been money
enough to conduct campaigns in secu-
rites.
''This increased demand tor money,
too, has resulted from increased cost
in materials and increased wages
which large corporations are paying.
The great part of the increased cost
takes money out Of the banks and puts
it with individuals who are not given
to the buying of securities The in
crease in wages will be generally dis
tributed, and it will be good while
getting back to the banks as surplus
wealth.
