TOO MANY DECLARATIONS.

The Declaration of Independence
that Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1776
has achieved so much fame that poll
tical orators when they wish to pro-
duce profound impression are apt
to exclaim that the time has come for
a new declaration of independence,
and perhaps they fancy they could
write one that would take the shine
off, the old one. Governor La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin delivered an grafton
out in Kansas not long ago. After
depicting the way in which corpora
tions and trusts are depressing the
people, as he thinks, he burst out
with the announcement that the time
has come for new declaration of
independence. y" Yes, indeed. Would
Gov. La Toilette like to try his hand !?
But hold a moment. Here com es the
putation of being rather conservative
than radical. 1t is much disturbed
by the performance of che labor orga-
nizations. In it's excitement it cries
out: We need a new declaration of
independence in this country today
more than the people OF l776 needed
the original one. All right, Mr.,
Chronicle, go ahead and get it out.
When your new declaration and Gov.
La Follette's meet on the prairie
somewhere there will be cyclone

HOMER AND HO USEMAIDS.

We asked a question the other day
of the ordinary college graduate: Ex-
cept for making a front, how much
use have your Latin and Greek or
your analytic geometry been to you?"
1t was not "A question likely to re-
ceive prompt or enthusiastic answers.
Americans have made fetish of the
unregulated book drilling which they
give to the minds of their children
and call Education. They will not
tolerate any criticism of it. They hold
it to be so Individually good thing
that a dose of it will permanently up
lift any boy or glIl. 1t is like the old
patent medicines warranted to cure
every disease in every patient.
Just look at the facts. Here we
have millions of foreign children: :
Swedes, Russians, Irish and German,
besides the swarming myriads of ma
tives, red, white and black, to tit for
their future lives. Of this multitude
will come few leaders and teachers
of the next generation. Now we give
to them all a smattering of the educa-
tion of teachers and leaders-bits of
reconcile knowledge taste of Greek,
a nibble of international law, Whit
of the higher mathematics. We seem
to have an idea that any man may
be seized on any day by Fate and put
into command, and we give them all
this ragged coat of shreds and patches
of learning so that no man may feel
intellectually naked when he is
dumped INTO the White House or on
the Supreme Bench.
The plain fact is that three fourths
of I'll ese children will be tradesmen,
mechanics, laborers, cooks, and shop
women. They have but four short
years to master the training which
will enable them to earn living by
these trades and to live with intelll-
gence and dignity. Why rob them of
this chance to better and widen their
lives by examining them with scraps
OF knowledge which by no possibility
can be of any service to them hereaf-
ter? What use can Joe Pratt, who
means to be plumber, make of Ho-
mer? Or why should his sister, who
is to be trained nurse, go to wom-
ans college to study the Semitic
tongues?
A few despairing housekeepers in
city in Iowa the other day petitiored
the authorities to close the high
school, Sin order to leave some women
in the town who were not untitled by
it for work in the house and kitchen. :"
The appeal was copied throughout the
country as huge joke.
And, yet? Has not the old fine art
of homemaking fallen into disgrace
among us simply because the popular
education of woman makes them des-
pise the skilled trades of the needle
and the kitchen range? After all,
does the we'll being of the nation de-
pend on the skill of its women in
cookery and baby raising, or on their
knowledge of psychology and freehand
drawing.
Somebody proposed lately that che
boys in certain high school should
be given course i'll drainage and san
itary science instead of philosophy,
and that the girls III woman's col
lege should be taught nursing and
housekeeping between the courses in
! the ancient Tristan dialect and Celtic
poetry. But the proposal was laughed
| to scorn.

ment bureau for men to work in the
wheat fields are pathetic. Today
letters were received from Rush
county, far out on the plains, begging
for 1, 600 extra men. That county has
grown 200, 900 acres Of wheat, which
is now overripe. This acreage, if the
crop is saved, will yield 5000, 900
bushels.
College boys have solved some diff
cult problem in the past and perhaps
in them will be found a solution of
this perplexing question that Kansas
and nearby States have to deal with
each season.

One of President Roosevelt's sons
was out late few nights ago and re-
turned to find the house locked. Like
many a boy before him he at once
climbed a veranda post and reached
his room without attracting attention.
This caper suggested to the President S
official body guard that if the boy
could enter the house unseen some one
else might do it as we'll and conse-
quently the guard at Sycamore Hill
has been doubled. Last year two
secret service men were on guard con-
tinually but this year only one has
been watching the house. Now, how
ever, there are six secret service men
at the Presidents summer home and
they will have eight-hour watches by
twos from now on.

THE VERMONT SUFFRAGE
SYSTEM.

The tlanta Constitution has dis
covered in the Vermont suffrage law
cure for the political ills of the
southern States, and now wants to
ascertain whether or not that law is
constitutional. Says the Constitution 4:
1.-THE Chicago Tribune and the
Washington Post are both agreed that
the Constitution has put upon the Su-
preme Court of the United States
IA poser of substantial Importance. We
have asked that the court decide
whether the suffrage laws of Yer
mont, which require every elector, in
order to be qualified to vote, to have
the appreciation of the board of civil
authority of the town in which he
resides, are constitutional. Our con-
temporaries admit that if that statute
is valid the south can readily dispose
of all its suffrage problems by adopt
ing said Vermont system. Boards of
civil authority could be easily estab-
lished by our Legislators for each
appointed by the Governor, and then
only those who receive the approba-
ton of the board of civil authority
said county, whether local, State or
national. -
Continuing the Constitution says:
cit is beautiful scheme and it has
worked with distinguished success in
favor of the Republican party in YER
mont. We have warrant for saying
that nearly year ago the system in
the hands of the regular Republicans
secured the defeat of Percival w.
Clement for Governor, both in the
primaries and in the regular election
in September, when he was the indie
pendent high license candidate against
Gen. John G. Mccullough. "
Herein is a version of Mr.. Clement s
defeat which must have been inspired
from some source or other, and il
casting around for the Constitution
source of information on this point,
there seems to arise to view the i'm.
posing figure of one Rev, Sam Small
who, it was claimed, left the fold Of
| the Constitution when he came tC
Vermont to tell the freemen of thu
State how its affairs should be con
oeeded in making himself and Mr.
Clements campaign ridiculous before
the people. he returned again to Geor
gia, and, although the Journal ma
be off the track entirely, there SEEM
to be an unmistakable connection be
tween the above reference to the Yer
mont campaign ard the man VIII
was the chief attraction in its grea
side show, and whose experience j
the State added most amusing pag
to its political history. If it is in

COLLEGE BOYS AND THE HAIR
VEST.

College boys in search of profita-
find it in the harvest fields of Kansas
and other western States this year.
Heretofore, most of them who are
obliged or inclined to spend the sum-
mer in wage earning have worked as
canvassers or summer hotel walters or
porters, but this new field in the west
is in many ways more attractive
one. 1t is hard out-of- door work in
the harvest field, just the sort to keep
man in training for athletics, and
besides it gives eastern boys a chance
to see the west. Quite company of
undergraduates from the universities
and colleges in New York are to try
the experiment, 1t is said that there
is no doubt that hundreds of college
students, who are hunting for whole
some and profitable summer occupa-
tions, will go to Kansas if the rail
road rates are sufficiently low. The
work will last all summer, which
is what the boys want, and the pay is
S. 40 day with board aud lodging,
which is better than most summer
hotels offer.
That all the help possible to get is
needed in Kansas may be inferred
from the following late dispatch from
Topeka; The appeals to the employ

But to return to the Georgia matter
the Constitution saws:

But to return to the Georgia matter
the Constitution says:
1--WE repeat again that the southern
States will be perfectly content, in
our Judgment, to repeal all constitu-
tional amendments and suffrage re-
strictions now extant, and under con-
domination by the northern Republic
cans, if the Supreme Court will only
decide that the Vermont system is
constitutional 1t would give us the
great desideratum of State regulation
of the suffrage without Congressional
interference and at the same time pre-
vent any movement to cut down our
representation in Congress on account
of the alleged disfranchisement of the
negro voters. The system goes on un-
challenged by the Moodys and Orum-
packers of the Congress. Why would
it not work with equal ease and sat
isfaction in Georgia, Alabama and
virginia."
