Address by Josephus Daniels.

The next address was by Joscphus
Daniels, editor of the Raleigh News and
Observer and member of the National
Democratic Committee from North Car
olina. Mr.. Daniels spoke as follows:
Your program committee, desiring to
select the best qualified man to speak on
the progress of Southern Education, in
vited Ex-Governor and ex- Senator Jarvis,
of North Carolina to make the address
at this hour. Important legal engage
ments prevent his attendance and only a
few days ago / was requested to fill the
place on the program l regret that you
are denied the privilege of hearing that
grand old Commoner, who for forty years
has been a leader in the educational. po-
litical and industrial progress of the
South. As a boy he volunteered in the
Confederate army, returning home with
a shattered arm. But with a clear head
stout heart and a brave spirit he has
been truly an educational Gamalel in
his Commonwealth. l suppose l was Sc
lected in his place because as
boy. living in an adjoining county, | sat
at his feeta and am supposed to have
caught his spirit and imbibed his views.
In his robust old age, he has recently led
fight to establish a graded school and
erect commodious buildings for it in his
own town. eonsenting TO serve as chair
man of the board of trustees. There is
the true civic spirit for you-an ex-Gov-
ernor and an ex-senator thinking ii not
beneath his dignity to serve on local
school board and take active leadership
in local contests for public education.
The educational problem in North
Carolina is in most respects Identical
with that in other Southern States. The
conditions in one Southern State is the
condition in all. Therefore, 1 shall con
me my remarks to North Carolina. With
lew notifications or additions, it will
apply equally to every Southern State.
There have been four obstacles to edu-
eational progress in North Carolina:
l. The negro, enfranchised against the
protest OF the people who we're forced
against their Will to pay tax to educate
him.
PoVerty-grinding poverty. follow
ing war and reconstruction, such as this
generation knows not OF.
o Ihe lack Of qualified teachers AMI
the lack of inducement to capable men
ana women to become teachers.
L. High mountain ranges and numcr-
GUS water courses in the West. where
people live far apart and where
compact school districts are impossible.

enough traits in common to make
them sympathetic have. as a rule, the
same great-grandparents-a fact that
doesn't promise well for the future Of
monarchical institutions.
Another result of constant intermar-
rage has been that the present lot Of
unmarried Processes in Europe is
mostly far from g~oOd-looking. Theo-

from mechanically writing beautiful"

There are some three dozen SOW
ereign families in Continental Europe,
and between them they can muster no

Austrian imperial family. six to vari-

the deposed house of Hanover, and
the others mostly to the minor Ger.

NOT SURPRISING.

The Cheyenne Tribune thus refers to
Judge Samuel T. Corn. justice of the
supreme court:
He took his place as noiselessly as
comes the spring time and the mantle
of ermine descended on his shoulders
most gracefully. He is wearing the
title with all the dignity Of one to the
manor born. His long service at the
bar and on the bench enables him to
preside over the highest court in this
commonwealth with peculiar grace.
but after all one must have something
more than experience to fill a position
Of this kind acceptably; he must be by
instinct, breeding and education a gen.
tleman, and this is the secret of sue
cess not only with Judge Corn, but
many other men who have successful
~ presided ove Il supreme court
and become useful members Of so
ciety.
The editor of the Leader gladly en-
dorses this we'll deserved tribute. We
had the good fortune to make the &C.
ouaintance of Samuel T. Corn in the
sixties, in the state Of Illinois. where
he was universally esteemed for his
scholarly attachments and sterling in
tegrity, as well as for his amiable and
kindly disposition. He is an honor to
the bench and a credit to the state OF
wyoming. Long may he serve the
people as an administrator Of justice.

Some tax officers seem to be in doubt
AZ to Just what the actual value of a
piece Of property really is. For their
benefit The Republican publishes the
opinion Of Justice Brewer of the Unit
ed States supreme court. as follows:
Nov. 1t is a cardinal rule, which should
never be forgotten. that whatever prop
erty is worth for the purposes Of in.
come and sale 1t is also worth for pur-
poses Of taxation. Substance of right
demands that whatever be the real
value of any property, that value may
be accepted by the state for the pur-
pose Of taxation, and this ought not to
be evaded by any mere confusion Of
words"

that the combired wits of all the
crowned beads of Europe, with pre-.
miers aad ambassadors at hand to
help think. are scarcely equal to solv-
ing it. The obvious remedy for what
has become a really embarrassing sit
uation is to let each young heir to a
throne have his way and marry the
American girl of his choice. 1t looks
as If that would be the rule with the
generation of royal parents and Of
loyal subjects isn't educated up to it
yet, and no amoun of fascination on
the part Of the American girl, or wiles
on the part Of her mi will be able
to effect the necessary change while
Europe's thrones hold their present oc.
cupants.
So it becomes imperative to find
brides for the heirs to the thrones of
Germany and Russia, for the King OF
Spain. and for the lesser young roy
alties now in the marriage market,
among the European Processes.
One trouble is that all the royal
young folk are so closely related. In
termarriage has steadily diminished
the wits that crowned heads contain
until such pessimist writer's as Lom-
broso and Max Nordau and DR.. Forbes
