TOO ADVANCED FOR THEM
supt. Voelker's Plan of Self-Governmene
in Schools Abandoned for the
Present.

Iowa Falls, Ia, Sept. S.-Educators
will be interested in knowing that the
famous Ida Grove Plan of Self-Gov-
ernmentin Schools" is to be abandoned
by the school that sprang the new idea
on the public but a few months ago.
Superintendent Voelker, who is at the
head Of the institution that first adopt
ed the unique plan OF f-government
in the school room, still maintains that
his ideas will bring about the ideal
condition in the school room, if encOur-
aged and worked out by the schools OF
the country.
But be feels that the people are not
ready for his advanced ideas. Since
the plan has been SO strongly condemn
ed by the supporters Of his school the
plan will be abandoned in favor Of the
old-style method. The superintendent
maintains that the pupil will never sue
coed unless he acquires self-knowledge,
self-respect, and self-control and he
maintains that these are secured by
the pupil rather than by the teacher Of
government

DENIES A MARRIAGE STORY
bliss Ruth Bryan IL Not Engaged To Be
Married to Lieutenant Richmond
p. HobsOn.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. S.-Mrs. w. J.
Bryan has authorized an emphatic de-
NAL of the story printed by Phila-
delphia paper that Miss Ruth Bryan
and Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson,
Of Merrimac fame, were engaged to be
married. She said there was not the
least truth in the statement. The de-
NAL iscorroborated by Miss Bryan's in
Inmates, who say the story doubtless
had its origin in gossip that started
here when the lieutenant was visitor
last month.
Hobson dined with the Bryans and
SO thoroughly was he entertained that
he almost forgot an engagement to lee
ture at a chautauqua assembly and
had to accept Miss Bryan's services as
a hurry-up guide. Young Billy
Bryan is also credited with jokingly
pointing out his sister and her escort
as engaged persons.

LABOR DAY ORATORY.
Salient Points Of President Roose.
veIt's Address to Syracuse
Workingmen.
HE PAYS A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS
And Declares an Each for All and All
for Each Principle for the
Nation.

Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. S.-PresideM
Roosevelt told a vast throng at the
opening of the state fair that the
strength OF the nation rested in largs
part on woman. 1.-THE woman who as
homemaker or as wife and mother has
done all that she cam do, patiently and
uncomplainingly, he declared, sis to
be honored; the woman who has borne,
end who has reared as they should be
reared, a family Of children, has i'm
the most empahtic manner deserved
well of the republic. Her burden has
been heavy, and she has been able to
bear it worthily only by the possession
of resolutions Of good sense, of con-
science and of unselfshness.
Her Children Shall Call Her Blessed.
but if she has borne it well, then to
her shall come the supreme blessing
for in the words Of the oldest and
greatest of books, Her children shall
rise up and call her blessed And
among the benefactors Of the land her
place must be with those who have
done the best and the hardest work,
whether as lawgivers or as soldiers,
whether i'm public or in private life.
This is not a soft and easy creed to
preach. 1t is creed willingly learned
only by men and women who, togeth-
er with the softer virtues, possess also
the stronger; who can do and dare and
die at need, but who while life lasts
will never finch from their allotted
task"
Mau with Work Needs No Sympathy,
With reference to labor the prest
dent said: "No man needs sympathy
because he has to- work, because he
has burden to carry. Far and away
the best prize that life offers is the
chance to work hard at work worth
doing. Men sincerely inter-
ested in the due protection of prop
erty, and mem sincerely interested in
seeing that the just rights of labor are
guaranteed, should alike remember not
only that in the long run neither the
capitalist nor the wage worker can
be helped in healthy fashions save by
helping the other; but also that to
require either side to obey the law
and do dts full duty toward the COM
munity is emphatically to that sides
real interest.
Something About Much Violence.
There is no worse enemy of the
wage worker than the man who con-
dones mob violence in any shape, or
who breaches class hatred; and surely
the slightest acquaintance with our in
dustrial history should teach even the
most short-sighted that the times OF
most suffering for our people as
whole, the times when business is
stagnant and capital suffers from
shrinkage and gets no return from its
investments are exactly the times of
hardship, and want. and grim disas"

Milwaukee, Sept. 8. - Wisconsin
game wardens claim to have discover
ed that a party Of ten pothunters has
been at work killing deer in large num-
hers along the northern Wisconsin line
and shipping them to Chicago by boat
The hunters are said to have shipped
their game across the Menominee river
into Michigan, evading the game war
dens, and put it on board a small sail
ing craft, whence it was taken direct
to Chicago without passing through
Wisconsin.

SPEAKS OF FINANCES
Le1islation Must Be for Everybody-He
Decries Class Hatred.


Another point in the presidents
speech was his discussion Of the cur
rency system. Whatever is advis-
able in the way of remedial or correc-
tive currency legdslation-and nothing
revolutionary is advisable under pres
emit conditions-mUst be undertaken
from the standpoint Of the business
community as WAOle-tn2t is, or
the American body polite as a whole
Whatever is done, we cannot afford to
take any step backward or to cast any
doubt upon the certain redemption in
standard coin of every circulating
note.
''Our having a sound currency sys-
TEN is of benefit to banks, of course,
but it is Of infinitely more benefit to
the people as whole because Of the
healthy effect on business cOndi-
tfons.'' In the course of his address
the president strongly decried class
hatred. I'm the long rum he said,
"all of us tend to go up or down to-
gether."
There were 5000 men and women in
the labor procession. Union after
union uncovered as it reached the
stand. Now and again the president
shouted compliments to fine-lookiDS
body of men. From start to finish his
attention was never diverted from the
workingman In the parade were q
flew floats with placardS. One read:
'gThe trusts fights us; let us fight. the
trust by not using their goods"
These men are the power behind
the throne" remarked a Syracusan to
Hhe president Exactly, the power be-
hind the throne; exactly, and it makes
one proud to think he is an American
to see these men, replied the presi-
dent.
