Hoar on Addicksism.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Senator Hoar. as chairman Of the
judiciary Committee in its rejection of
The nomination Of Byrne for United
states District Attorney in Delaware,
lis reported to have taken the ground
that to confirm Byrne in face of his
association with Addicks would have
been to indorse Addicks and his meth
DDS.
The Massachusetts Senator arraigned
these methods as corrupt and demoral-
izing. and declared that il was a public
duty to make a stand against him.
The truth which Senator Hoar uttered
should sink deeply into the Presidential
mind, for 1t expresses the sentiment OF
all decent Republicans. Mr.. Roosevelt
now has an opportunity to unload Ad-
dlckslsm and wash his hands clean OF
completely with 1t by Withdrawing the
Byrne nomination. Let him be bic
enough to acknowledge the mistake he
made.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS II, 1OOi
noTaOUsE EDUCATION

In the effort TO shorten the term Of
years spent in preparation for the pro
fessions various schemes have been
evolved. One OF these consists in allow
ing men to take their bachelors de-
gree in three years If they can pass the
examinations. This is not likely to
prove satisfactory, since knowledge to
be OF any value must be assimilated
Besides, if bright and ambitious stu
dents cover the course In three years
they viii. set the pace for others. and
the result Will probably be a struggle
on the part of many, oyerwork and a
breakdown.
President Harper, of the University
of Chicago. believes that the educa-
tional course coald be shortened by
covering more subjects in the high
school and grammar grades. He thinks
that probably a year might be saved
by following out this idea. But this
fails to recognize the fact that many
of the advanced subjects can be mas-
tered only by mature minds. and that
by nIo driving or stretching Of the inn
mature intellect can any mastery OF
subjects requiring the higher reasoning
powers be acquired.
Resides, there is something repellant
in the thought that soon after birth
children are prepared for the kinder
garten, that they are to be transfer
red to the public schools and tasks
thrust upon them to the llmdt OF their
capacity, and that they can never for a
moment relax ill they have received
their last degree. Il leaves no time for
anything but a mad rush for education,
so called. but which is IN reality mere
examining that has for its motive pure
commercialism. There are many things
that are valuable that may be learned
outside OF books. and plants subjected
to hot-house forcing are neither healthy
nor normal in their growth. 10 appears
that since the field of education is linz
itless, we must content ourselves with
learning what we can and be satisfied.

1t is credibly reported that the court
esy of the Senate" will serve TO prevent
any official inquiry in the matter of an
attempt by the Standard Oil Trust To
Influence certain Senators by dictatorial
messages to antagonize the Nelson sub

the Interstate Commerce Act The de-
velopments in this affair yesterday
were mainly to be noted in denial by
certain Senators that they had received
any such messages. and by affirmations
on the part OF other Senators That they
were constantly receiving letters and
kilograms respecting pending legisla-

of the days work. Whether or not the

A SIMPLE METHOD

noted fer the strength of its Democ-
racy, thinks it need not he a very diff
cult thing for the Democratic mem
bers of cur Legislature TO participate
in the election of Senators. It says:
The method is very simple, and there
is no necessity for conference or com
sultation. Whenever the Regular Re

didates the Democratic members Of the
Legislature have only to change their
votes for these candidates before the
call of the roll shall have been com

THE WATER REVENUES

Shall the Water Commission pay
over its surplus to City Council and
then borrow a large sum for its own
needs, is new burning question. It is
estimated that in the next two years
the commission will have a surplus of
from S15O.OOO to 100000. and that this
would be sufficient to meet all needs
during that time that may arise for all
improvements. including the work on
the new reservoir.
Council wants this money, not to
meet payment on water bonds, but to
apply to other purposes. There is
something peculiar, to say the least, in
such an arrangement If the commits
sion is able to make the necessary i'm
provements and extensions out OF its
revenues, it should certainly be given
the opportunity. Council seems to think
that the Water Commission is a good
agency for raising revenue, but that in
spending II only Council is competent

MIR. KENNAN's STORY

mans story of Addicks' efforts to breal,

sary incidents OF politics Well, this
story. which we all know to be true in
an of its details, leaves no doubt that
considering our population and area, w,
have allowed political rascality greater
license and encouragement than an,
other State Of the Union. Thus th'

constitution has offended the spirit. i

but the tale of debauchery of insoIence

book is true, and the sooner we admit
the facts the better Any one with q

In demanding that the Regulars go
into caucus with the Union Repuhli-
cans, to he bound by it, the assumption
is that there is but one party divided
into two factions This was true in
1895. when Addicks held his four men
out OF caucus and defed fifteen, but
it is no longer true. In organization,
in spirit and in methods there are two
distinct parties. When Addicks nomi-
mated a candidate for Congress against
a good Republican. he emphasized that
fact most forcefulg.
He cannot now set trap by saying
that there should be but one caucus
and all Republicans are bound TO entel
it. It isn't true. and if il were, Ad

peAitenfIdpq

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. THE effort
to take William Ziegler, the millionaire
New Yorker, to Missouri to plead to
an indictment charging him with sup
plying 200 for bribing members of
the legislature, is expected to develop
into one of the hottest battles ever
fought in the prolonged conflict be-
tween the two great baking powder
combinations. After several postpone
ments, the applications for extradition
papers comes up for hearing before
Governor Odell today and it is not un-
likely that further delay will result.
All this delay, it is said, has been given
to enable Mr.. Ziegler's lawyers to pre-
pare for the argument before the gov
ernor and to collect such proof as may
convince the governor that extradition
should not be granted. Untold and
interesting features of the controversy
it is expected will be brought to light
at the hearing.
