irish Lad in Derby.

Chicago. June 4.-Irish Lad, the crack
eastern colt, which won the Brooklyn
handicap from W. c. Whitney's wonder
ful mare, Gunfire. in track record time.
is now looked upon as a certain starter
in the American Derby. The best indi-
cation from the east in favor of the
crack colt being shipped to Washington
park is the fact that l. Y. Bell. the for
more owner of Hermis, and present
owner of Colonel Bill. Francesca and
others, wagered $1,000 on the colts
chances, placing the money with Kid
Weller on Saturday, and for which the
eastern owner received 10 to /

when he viii be shipped. I look upon
Irish Lad as one of the certain starters,
just as much as Sayable, Au Revofr

the eastern money will pound him into
favoritism on the night before the big
race is run"

LABOR, CAPITAL AND THE PBESl-
DENT.

The President has failed to please
the radical elements of organized labor
and organized capital in the East.
One. represented by the New York
sun, condemns him for being too
friendly To organized labor, and the
other condemns him for being too
friendly to capital.
Any reasoning person who has fol-
lowed his career knows that he is a
most valuable friend of both and an
enemy of neither.
But they have further objections.
The President believes over-capital-
ization-the watering of stocks-is
wrong. and he believes 1t is possible
for a corporation or trust to do an
unlawful thing and that when they
do they should be held accountable to
the law.
For these views the trust bosses,
stock jobbers and boodlers generally.
brand him as an enemy to the coun-
try's business interests.
He believes 1t possible for a labor
union to make mistake. and that
sometimes some OF the union men do
unlawful things for which they too
should be held accountable to the law.
For these views few radical union
lists are shouting that he is an enemy
10 organized labor.
In other words, these radical oppos-
ing elements say to the President:
III you disapprove anything we may
do, no matter how unjust or Illegal
IL may seem TO you. you must neces-
sarlly be opposed to everything We
do. and to everything for which we
stand,
From this IL would seem that there
are but two elements OF our people
who have reached perfection in judg-
ment-the radical representative of
organized labor and his enemy. the
radical representative of organized
capital.
II is, therefore. not surprising that
Mr.. Roosevelt has not pleased these
gentlemen. The average man, how
ever. regards II as a glorious thing to
have a president who is strong enough
to stand firmly on his feet and refuse
to condone or ignore wrong-doing in
any form for the sake OF winning q
few votes.
If there ever was a man in the
White House who had rather be right
than be president" 1t is Theodore
Roosevelt.
He courteously receives and consid-
ers the views OF both sides to Ques-
ton. but he Will not be bulldozed or
frightened into doing what he consid-
ers wrong In order to secure the sup
port of any man or association of men.
The American people admire the
candor. courage and rugged honesty
of Theodore Roosevelt. and for every

OUR EDUCATIONAL WORK IN
PORTO RICO.


Accounts OF the remarkable material
progress made by Porto Rico under
American rule have come TO us from
time to time. indicating that the prom
ises of an industrial awakening
throughout the island through the
stimulus of American occupation have
been more than fulfilled.
Some time ago in The Outlook Geo.
Marvin gave graphic and compre-
hensive review OF this industrial pro
gress since American Intervention,
paying particular attention to the in
vasion OF the American trolley car and
The automobile. the establishment oil
telephone systems in Ponce and San
Juan. express and telegraphic service.
the building of ice-making plants, sug-
ar mills and American cafes, as well
rs the improved methods of agricul-
ture. That this progress has been
reflected In the export and import
statistics was also shown In statis-
Tics presented by Mr.. Marvin. From
these figures 1t appeared that our
shipments TO the island have multi
piled eight times since 1898, while
within the same period Porto Rico ex-
ports to the United States have in
creased from SALE, 900 to {l2,0O0.0O0.
More gratifying than all this. how
ever. is the extension Of the American
school system in the island and the
work already accomplished in educa-
tional lines. There was not public
school on the island when George
Wendell Moore of Newark. Ohio. was
appointed superintendent Of eduction.
In an interview Mr.. Moore states tnat
there are now twenty graded school
buildings. costing from 100000 to $685.
900 each. four high schools and TWEEN
ty-five rural schools costing about w..
900 each. The enrolment Tor the com.
ing year. 1t is thought will exceed
10000. with 1000 native teachers and
200 American teachers.
Notwithstanding this extension OF
public school facilities there are 100, 900
children who cahnot receive the ben
eflts OF free education until the insular
fund for this purpose can be increased
The progress already made. however.
in expanding this agency for the ra'
tional "Americanization" of the Porto
Ricans is highly creditable to the gov
eminent.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.

Less than two weeks remain for vot-
ers to make up their minds how they
will cast their ballots this fall. Out
cies exist In local Offices. there viii
be only two names on the official bal
lot. the Hon. John Campbell and the
Hon. Adair Wilson.
AS stated heretofore, we have moth
ing to say against the Democratic
nominee so far as the man is con-
cerned. On the other hand We chal-
Judge Campbell In any walk OF life.
AS chief justice he has made a rec
ord that receives the commentator
of the entire legal fraternity of the
state. Knowing Judge Campbell's
ability and well-established reputation
in every walk of life. The Herald feels
that it is the duty OF our people to
retain him on the bench without ro-
gard of politics. But II politics enter
the contest then there is only one
logical CONCLUSION to reach-the cleo
ton of Judge Campbell.
Colorado should. by all means. be in
the Republican column. 1t Is stand
ing we need al home and abroad, and
conditions are such hat our good
name should be preserved without
any question. The conservative bus
mess interests OF The state should be
found back OF the candidacy of the
gentleman who heads this column.
The Herald believes this is the case
and that on the thIid day OF November
Judge Campbell will be elected by a
