Maury, the superintendent, goes to
Gainesville, Tex, to take charge of
a female college. His work in the
city Of Water Valley was exception

school work, and the failure Of the
college to thrive can be attributed
to no other cause than that the
country surrounding is not yet ready
for military school. Much regret

Why should men not be honest and
honorable in politics?
Do good citizens, men of honor and
integrity and of character, approve
of cheating and lying and bribing and
stealing in politics?
If they do not, why do they not
make their influence felt, in downing
such methods within their party?
Have men become such moral cow
ards. that they will submit to wrong
and dishonesty, and allow themselves
to be browbeaten and cowed into
silence, in the presence of some I'M
scrupulous party boss, who is deter
mined to win, regardless of methods?
1t looks much hat way.
There is a large and influential ele-
ment in the Republican party, in this
county and Mora, consistent republi-
cans, who lay down and permit them
selves to be run over by IN unscru-
pulous element, who have seized the
party reigns and are driving the party
wagon.
If the better element of the Re-
publican party would stand firmly for
honesty in politics, conditions would
be far better for the welfare of the
people.

Private Monopoly as a Public Bene-
faction.


Some queer economic doctrines are
finding PRONUNCIATION from b univer-
sity of Michigan-an institution, by
the way. supported by the people IN
stead of bein ~gdependent upon pr1-
vate endowments. Prof. F. M. Taylor,
occupying a chair of political econoIn.
and finance, in discussing before his
classes the Standard oil monOpoly's
recent advance in I : price OF its pro-
duct in the face of and against a great
public need, is represented as having
said:- Isl
In America we do not pay taxes to
secure money for big improvements.
Private capital does it. When MIR.
Rockefeller, for instance, raises the
fiice OF oil a few cents he forces it
to contribute money for the collection
of a great body oil productive capital.
Il is, OF course a system of voluntary
despotism which we American SUBJ
nit to. Nevertheless social inequality
is necessary to progress, and necesa
ry to collect enough capital to run
business. Mr.. Rockefeller has more
money than he uses n thus he turns
it into productive capital.
1t follows from this necessarily that
the fewer become the monopolists
over industry and the more they
squeeze the people, the better for the
country and the people il will be.
The Taylor idea is, in other words.
that the people at large who produce
the wealth ann be trusted to save
any of it OF to accumulate any capital,
hence the desirbility that they should
be put upon short ratiuns, so that
their surplus wealth production above
a bare livelihood will flow into the
hands of a few men in such abundance
that they could not possibly
1t all if they would. Thus, and thus
only, can the country be assured of
the accumulation of an adequate store
of productive caapitl.
