Rockefeller Jr., and his bible class
Here is a young man who has millions
of the Filthy lucre" in his own right
could dispense with enough of it for
charitable or educational purposes to
make his charity account good for
many months. His, however. is an
other method. His plan for accomp-
fishing something good is one that any
other young man could adopt, rich or
poor. He has chosen as part of his
llfe's work the conducting of bible
class. There are many good bible
teachers and many poor ones: those
who perform their work in an enthusi-
tic manner and those who make it
only a perfunctory duty. There is
nothing that savors of desire for
distinction. Young Mr.. Rockefeller is
therefore little different from thous-

least fitting, that We should not at

GUS to his appointment to the supreme
bench Justice Washington had gained
place of prominence at the Virginia
bar In fact his reputation was so
great that Washington was urged to
appoint him but refused to do so, and
it is known that while in Office he
never appointed a relative to any Of
flee.
For thirty-one years Bushrod Wash
ington remained on the bench and
was succeeded in 1880 by Henry Bald
win, of Pittsburg, an appointee of An
anti-federalist, but very able judge,
vice assisted Chief Justice Tanney in
setting the court on it's state rights
tack. He was succeeded by Robert G.
Grier, also of Pittsburg, who remain
ed on the bench for twentythree
years. He was followed by William
Strong, of Philadelphia, who retired
after serving for ten years. William
B. Woods, of Georgia. was named as
his successor, or rather he was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy and Justice
Bradley was assigned to the third cir
cult. At Justice Bradley's death
George ShlraS was appointed from tne
Pittsburg bar to the position he now
holds and from which after ten years
of service he is about to resign.
Judge Day, the prospective candi-
date for the place, served as assistant
secretary of state under John Sher-
man at the beginning of President
William McKinley's first term and
during the Spanish-American war
served at the head of the state depart
ment. During this time Secretary
Day, through his able and successful
conduct of affairs in that capacity,
came into national prominence and
won a deservedly high reputation
among his countrymen. AS a member
of the supreme bench of the United
States, Judge Day will doubtless make
an able official and will be a most
worthy successor to his illustrious
predecessors

REGULATE DRESS BY LAW.

1t is unquestionable that American
women would vigorously protest
any attempt to regulate by law
the style of garments they should
wear. This however is what has
been done by the municipal govern
ment OF Neuva Cacares in the Phil.
ippines. In perfect accordance with
their nature. the inhabitants of the
archipelago have since the occupation
OF the islands by the Americans, from
time to time, adopted various Amer
lean manners and customs and made
them part of their own life.
AT the time the Americans first went
to the islands there was apparently
no concern among the men as to what
the women wore. For years, the favo-
rite garment of the female sex was a
large circle Of cloth, worn as a skirt,
reaching from the waist to the feet.
This garment was called 'patadeon'
since the American women from the
United States began going to the
Islands there has been gradual
change in the ideas of dress which re-
Gently eliminated in the passage Of the
following municipal statute:
we prohibit absolutely the use of
the dress called 'patadeon' in the form
and manner that is now used, and it
is ordered that skirts shall be cut and
seWed in the manner Of skirts. Thirty
days from the publication of this order
every woman wearing 'patedeon'w
be lined not less than one peso or more
than five pesos"
With the knowledge of women's fan
cies and moods the American would
not think Of attempting to regulate
their dress in the slightest degree by
the adoption of statutory law. Wheth-
er the law of the Philippine city will
accomplish the purpose for which it
was intended will only be shown by
time and the outcome of this innova-
ton in the islands of the eastern Pa
CHIC, Will be awaited with great inter-
est on this side of the water.

TEACHERS AND THEIR PAY.
eagle Grove Eaglel

Inc teachers of the state are plan
nlng to organize union and then affil-
late with the state Federation of La.
Dor. Their purpose is to get into a
position to demand higher wages.
That many teachers in this state are
paid shamefully low wages is well
known, and this union organization
should not be necessary to effect a
reform In the matter. The fixing of
these wages is in the hands of the To-
cal school boards over the state. large
ly farmers who work hard for their
money and are not disposed to favor
large salaries anywhere, and they are
right about that, but we believe they
are little too close with the school
MAINS, and all the matter needs is
little agitation and reasoning together.
If this matter was in the hands of
the state legislature or even the coun-
ty board, how quickly the wages would
be raised,and no doubt to figure that
would not be approved by the average
school board. While these country
school boards are too low on teach
er's salaries, taxes would be decided
ly lower If they had the fixing of the
salaries OF the state and county off
GERS. We believe that they would not
add fat salary to the other attrac-
tons OF a public office, and we believe
they would be right in doing so.
The farmer rightly believes in the
good old democratic doctrine of gov
eminent economically administered,
and the poor school mamam affords
the only opportunity he has of apply
ing that beneticent principle. If he had
the matter in charge, the governors
salary would never have been raised
to $1,000 nor the judges to So 500. and
no county officer would get over ST.
600 per year, and none of the offices
would go begging for good talent at
that figure. We doubt if the office
would get an opportunity to seek the
man. even at that figure.
But We believe the county school
boards will do justice by the school
ma'am when they think it over They
do not need to go into any federation
OF labor or organize for strike. A
little reform on the girls part is neces-
sary. So long as they will run over
one another to work twelve hours a
day in stores, offices and at telephones
for from SO to SIS per week, the farm
err will naturally think S25 to $35 per
month good wages for six hours work.
The farmer is not the only sinner in
the world

WILLIAM r. DAY.

1t is practically certain that Will
liam II. Day, of Canton, Ohio, will be
appointed to seat on the United
States supreme bench to succeed JUS
tlce Shlras, whom it is expected will
retire within a few weeks Since the
decision OF Governor Taft to remain
at the head OF the island government
IN the Philippines, Judge Day has been
mentioned for the position and this
appointment will undoubtedly meet
with favor throughout the country.
For the past ten years Justice Shi-
ras mas represented the third circuit
in the highest judicial tribunal in the
land and his decision to withdraw
from that office is due to declining
health. The third circuit is composed
OF the states of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware and has always
been served with strong and able men
on the federal bench.
James Wilson, one of the most dis
tlnguished men of revolutionary days
and one of the trainers of the consti-
ton, was first appointed as associate
Justice from that district by Presi-

which amounted to Sis, 100000 in 1891
will be over $4O,000,O00 in 1892, and
imports into the United Staotes from
that country, which were $4,000 900
in 1891, will be fully $41,OO0,OOO. In
the foreign commerce of this country
Mexico is the only country with which
our trade balances. To Canada we sell
twice as much as the value of the goods
purchased from it. Our imports from
Central American countries are SO per
cent more than our exports to them
South American imports aggregate
practically twice as much as the eX-
ports, while Asia is about twice as
much. To Europe American exports
are nearly three times as much as the
imports from that continent.
Contiguity, quick rail communica-
ton, and the presence of large Ameri-
can interests in Mexico are the prin-
cipal causes of the rapid gains which
the United Staes is making over her
rivals in the trade of Mexico. Over
5000 miles of railroad are now in OBJ

III Mexico. Mexico is the one country
south OF the United States to which
our exports show an appreciable
growth. To the Central American
States our exports in 1890 were S.

America our exports in 1890 wereS3S,-

$13,2S5,2S7, in 1902, $39,S73 SOC. and in
the calendar year 1902 will be over

Notwithstanding the excellent con-
dition of the trade between the United
States and its neighbor on the south,
the adoption of the single standard
of currency by the latter country
would undoubtedly serve as great in
centive to the charging of the trade.
Such a result would be most bene-
f1cial to the people of both nations
and would be gladly received by the
inhabitants of the American republic.

UTAH SENATORIAL CASE.

Unless the enforced conditions
arise in the senatorial contest in Utah
1t may safely be predicted that Reed
Smoot will be the next senator from
that state. The report that President
Roosevelt has advised his withdrawal
from the senatorial race has not been
denied. 1t seems that Mr.. Smoot and
his friends do not consider these sug-
gestions as pertinent. The silence of
the republicans of Utah on the sub.
{ ject may be taken as indicative of
the belief that they consider the ques-
ton as to who their senator will be
as one for them alone to decide
Mr.. Smoot has been charged with
being an apostle of the Mormon
church. In so far as the developments
in the case are concerned it appears
that this is the only allegation against
him. All information leads to the be-
lief that as far as his private life is
concerned Mr.. Shoots character is
above reproach. He is loyal repub.
lican, a man of broad views and large
mind as far as personal ability is
concerned, and is fully capable to fill
the position of a United States senat-
or.
Mr.. Smoot is high official in the
Mormon church, but has never been
a po!ygamist and so far as is known
he has at no time been an advocate of
that belief. Under these conditions
1t does not appear that the same rule
can be applied to the present case
as was done in the Roberts affair
1t is intimated by the members of the
Mormon church that polygamy is no
longer approved by the church and
will die out of itself when the bonds
now authorized by the church are dis.
solved by death. Though Mr.. Smoot
is an apostle of the church, it seems
that this in itself is scarcely sufficient
grounds to close the doors of the SEN
ate 10 Mr.. Smoot should the republi-
cans of Utah desire him as their ser.
want.
1t would undoubtedly be better for
everybody concerned and for the
preservation of peace in the senate
shonld Mr.. Smoot withdraw from
the candidacy and the Mormons cease
to gain public office until such time
as the church shall have freed itself
OF the polygamist doctrine.

ON FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS

1t is gratifying to the people of this
country to learn that in the matter of
appointment to federal offices, Presi
dent Roosevelt is not to be bulldozed
This is indicated by the position taken
during the recent postoffice trouble
at lndianola, Miss. concerning the an.
polntment OF postmistress. Presi.
dent Roosevelt declares that with re,
gard to public appointments there is
no race or color question SO far as he
is concerned. In choosing the per.
sons to fill the public offices through.
out the country, the President has con-
sidered but the one question-that of
fitness-and he holds the doctrine that
the person who can meet this require.
ment Is deserving of selection without
any question as to race OF color. The
black people form very large pro.
portion of the population in the south.
ern states and recognizing this fact
President Roosevelt has appointed sew,
eral colored people to office, but these
form only an infinitesimal part of the
offices to which the whites have been
appointed.
The only objection that has been
made by anyone against these negroes
is that of color, and that objection
counts for little with the President
While he says that he pays regard to
the conditions and feelings existing
in each locality yet he, cannot consent
that the door of hope. the door of op.
portunity, is to be shut on any man
purely on grounds of race and COLOR
and in this he is unquestionably right
and will undoubtedly be supported by
an overwhelming majority of the
American citizens without regard to
politics.
