SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The Rev. Fl. P. Perkins, Of Pao-ting-
fu, China, says there is great demand
for native schools and churches there.
The largest electrotechnical instr
tute in Europe has just been completed
in Vienna at cost of $600,OOO. Its
roof is used as an experimental sta
ton for wireless telegraphy.
Prof. a. Van Der Naillen, president
of a school of engineering in San Fran
cisco. has been created chevalier of the
Order of Leopold by the Belgian king.
The notification from Brussels says
that the honor has been conferred be-
cause of Prof. Van Der. Naillen's long
and honora bic career in this country as
a civil engineer, the Belgian govern
ment being sensitive to the behavior
of its children abroad"
In addition to the paid ch DIR, the paid
treasurer and the paid collector of
church revenues, which have become
such prominent features in many
churches in this country, prominent
church in New York has movement on
foot to raise ''an educational endow-
ment fund of 100000, the interest Of
which is to be used: /. To pay educa
tional experts who shall teach the
teachers. 2. To pay the heads of de-
partments in the school. 3. To COM
pensate as far as possible all teachers
who will accept remuneration, pro-
vided they can demonstrate their fit
ness based upon preparation conform
ing to esta blished standards of re-
quirement.'
Prof. Bryce, in his biographical
study of Bishop Fraser, of Manchester,
tells of clergyman of Fraser's diocese
who had knocked man down who had
insulted him. The bishop wrote him
letter of reproof, pointing out that ex-
posed as the Church of England was 10
much criticism on all hands, her minis
ters ought to be very careful of their
demeanor. The offender replied by
saying: 81 must regretfully admit
that, being grossly insulted, and for
getting in the heat of the moment the
critical position of the Church of Eng
land, | did knock the man down, etc"
Fraser was delighted with the turning
of the tables on himself, and afterward
invited the clergyman to visit him.

The V0ter and be CuuCuS
By HON. ROBERT M. LA TOILETTE
Governor of Wisconsin

1t is no longer open to dispute that the
nomination of candidates for office has in
very large measure passed out of the hands of
citizen. For many years it has been popular
with certain theoretical writer's upon the subject
to place the responsibility for this entirely upon
the citizen himself, and to charge him with
dereliction of duty and want Of interest in pub
lie affairs, absorption in business interests and
pursuit of fortune being assigned primary
causes of neglect of these elementary duties Of
citizenship. But it is fair to say that the citizen
always has manifested the same willingness to

tion as national policy. AS to the
object OF the policy, broadly stated as
| IL Is in the constitution of the Ameri.
can Protective Tariff league, there is
no dispute. Whatever remains Is in
the way of application and definition.
The republican platform OF 1892,
adopted at Minneapolis on the 7th of
June, gave defiuition OF the policy OF
protection which before or since has
never been disputed in a national con.
vention OF the party. I'VE believe, =
said that platform. ''that all articles
which cannot be produced in the UEit-
ed States, except Injuries, should be
admitted free OF duty, and that on the
imports coming into competition with
the products OF American labor there
should be levied duties equal TO the diff.
ference between wages abroad and at
home This definition was not chang
ed, possibly was somewhat broadened,
by the national convention OF the party
at St. Louis on the 10th OF June,
1895. "We are not pledged TO any par
ticular schedules, = said that platform.
''The question Of rates Is q practical
question, to be governed by the condi-
tions OF the time and of production; the
ruling and incorporating principle is
the protection and development of
American labor and industry The
last national platform of the party,
adopted at Philadelphia on the 10th of
June, 1900, was content with this; I'VE
renew our faith In the policy of protec-
tion TO American labor.
Departing from this general defini-
tion the policy Of protection has thin
legs TO stand upon.
There need be no denial that the In
terests Of capital, as we'll as the In
teresis of labor, are to be safeguarded,
but Ii the interests OF labor are ade-
quately protected 1t follows that the in
terests Of capital are adequately pro-
tected Neither labor nor capital has
the right to ask more, and If more is
granted pertinent question arises as
10 whether infringement has not been
made prejudicial TO the public welfare.

ADEQUATE PROTECTION.

| The Anaerican Economists, the organ OF
the American Protective Tariff league,
keeps standing, conspicuously displayed,
the following, under the head Reel
procity in Competitive Products"
Whereas, The object Of the American
Protective Tariff league is defined in
its constitution, article H., as follows:
THE object of this league shall be
to protect American labor by tariff
on imports which shall adequately se-
cure American Industrial products
against the competition OF foreign
labor
Be it Resolved, That the executive
committee and board Of managers, In
special meeting assembled, on August
q, 1908, at the rational headquarters.
No. 339 Broadway, New York. hereby
declare steadfast opposition to reciproc-
ity in competitive products, because
such reciprocity Is in direct conflict
with the object above set forth.
Resolution adopted by the board OF
managers and executive committee OF
the American Protective Tariff league,
August Fl, 1903.
The quotation from the constitution
of the league and the resolution OF the
league adopted in August last are NOT
in harmony. The discrepancy may be
due to the departure of the league
from the purpose which was upper
most with it at the time OF the adoption
of its constitution.
The object of the protective policy,
maintained and promoted by the repub-
lican party since ii came into power, is
to adequately secure American indus.
trial products against the competition
of foreign labor" That has been de-
clared over and over again In republi-
can platforms, and that has been the
| basis ofall argument on the stump and
through the press in support OF the
American policy of protection. The
force OF the argument has from time to
time been acknowledged by the demo-
Gratis, as notably in 1884. The oppos-
ing party, reluctantly, to be sure, and
in the midst of party confusion and dis
ruption, yielded to the protective pol
