What a Michigan Paper Has to Say
About Hon. Clement Smith-Sena-
tor Knox Wanted Sulzbacher.

A special dispatch fro mWashington
dated June % says:
There was a stormy scene at the
white house this morning when Dele
gate Rodey of New Mexico called to
protest against the appointment Of
Judge G. c. Smith Of Michigan 10 sue
Iceed Judge Daniel H. Mcmillan CT the
New Mexico supreme court. Delegate
Rodey. in very plain language, told
the president that this appointment
VAS not at all satisfactory 10 the peo-
'ple Of the territory, for they believed
that residents OF the territory would
be given the territorial offices. and
had particular pledges as TO che Gus
l%cessor OF Judge Mcmillan.
President Roosevelt intimated that
This place had been promised BY
friends Of Judge Smith some time ago,
land explained that the appointment,
having been made, could not be re
voked, %whereupon Delegate Rodey
Gared up and told the president that
1.-THE PEOPLE Of New Mexico will fight
Judge Smiths confirmation in the sen
ate to the bitter end, and will do ey-
Ierything in their power to have the
senate turn down the presidents ap-
pointment.
Roosevelt only yesterday decided to
appoint Clement C. Smith TO the New
Mexico judgeship to succeed McMil-
Ian. An arrangement had been made
by Attorney General Knox 10 transfer
to Judge McMillan's place Judge Louis
Sulzbacher, now associate justice d

Judge S~ulzbacher is nov in Washing
ton, having been summoned by Attor
lney General Knox, who believed tbs
transfer would be authorized by Tux
president. When the president learn
ed that the scheme had been all ixet
up without his knowledge, he showed
indignation and at once destroyed tht
order prepared By Knox, and a
promptly appointed Judge Smith, K
whom he had over a year ago prom
Used the first vacancy in a territorial
court. Judge Sulzbacher will return
to Porto Rico.
4 Delegate Rodey today called on Sen

ing to interfere in New Mexico ap

is now the waste that goes Oh GudI
is u hindrance. Now, if that waste
should be eliminated, then there
would be no more here to do except
to hold society together where we
have got it.
Then the next thing is sanitation.
1t is wrong that any community
should permit any human being to
have typhoid fever, small pox or any
other of the preventable diseases. We
have already demonstrated that they
and nearly all diseases are preventa-
bic, and that by the action of the com
munity, State or nation. Where
such action is necessary to make the
civilization in which we live health
er, that is the community's business.
Then we will come to look upon the
appearance of any disease as a crime
and some one will be punished for
it every time. So that the ideal
community must be healthful. There
is one other thing about which our
fathers talked a great deal and of
which we have heard much. There
can be no conception of an ideal
democracy except its very corner
stone be free thought and free
speech. l mean really free. / do
not mean free simply On a few gen
eral propositions which a man may
approach on the Fourth of July. I
mean freedom about anything that
is for the public welfare. There is
no subject of public oncer so sa-
cred that it is not a part of the pub
lies business and of every mans bus
mess to have the opportunity to think
and say what he pleases. It is a
cOmmunity's business not to tolerate
but to compel it, and it is not free
unless it does compel it. Now, if
we could go into a community where
there is equality before the law,
equality of opportunity, compulsory
training, perfect sanitation and free
speech, what would we find? That
men there do not bother themselves
about a thousand things that are dis
cussed while our wives sit knitting
in our homes and we sit about the
postOfice whiting. These things
would all be forgotten and these
problems would long ago have solved
themselves.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have gone
through all these familiar things I
hope not to your WEAKNESS, for the
single purpose of coming to the point
L had in the beginning, namely, the
next application of the democratic
principle in a broad and general way
to the training of all the people.
Jails and poor-houses are trifing
burdens in comparison with the lack
of trained intelligence. In every
community there is, I will say lust
for a guess, 10 per cent, or shall I
say 2 per cent, who have found their
ideal relations to society and are do
ing their utmost to carry them for
ward. Just for a high reckoning.
let us say 20 per cent. Suppose 20
per cent of this community had

NAV not have to maintain them with
bread and meat, but it would have to
supply them with ideas and oppor-
tunities. Suppose now it were posi-
bic (and it is possible, else the demo-
cratic theory will not apply here and
it has applied in every other case
that we have tried) to gradually bring
every human being, and l mean eV-
cry human being; I am not talking
about men only, but women and chill
dren under six as we'll, not OF white
men only, but of the red man, black,
~ginger-cake and all other c~olors, be-
aus every man belongs to the COM
munity and contributes something to
its advancement or to it's r~etrOgres-
sion-suppose every n were so
trained in any community, what
would be the result? It would be
such a thing as no one could ade-
quately conceive. The result would
be this, that that community would
stand on it's own footing, would stand
on it's own development, on it's own
traditions, would stand by it's own
industries, would be in a certain
sense, self-maintained. Think what
development of industry it would
have. Everything from hewers of
wood, who would hew their wood
better than men anywhere else, up to
the most finished scholar; all along
the line of human labor, from the
trades to- the highest skill, every one
would be a light on a mountain and
men would flock from the uttermost
parts of the earth to see it. Rich !!
There would be no need of riches.
Free! So free they would be
that they would not need the word
freedom. Intelligent! You could
find experts on any subject whatever.
| Now, this is not a mere dream of a
thing that cannot be accomplished,
because in every community in the
United States there is a certain per
cent of people who have reached
somewhat near this ideal. Now such
a community would have itself ade-
quately and admirably adjusted to
every other community in the whole
republic.
Then every community like that
would be absolutely national in it's
thought, because sectionalism and
provincialism are nothing in the
world but evidences of arrested de-
velopment, and when a community
is perfectly developed in itself it
knows no such shortcomings. And
there is n other great truth-that
you cannot bring men and women to
the very highest development until
the society all about them has had
its highest development. One intel
llgent or cultivated being in an ig-
norant community ceases to be as in
telligent or cultivated as he would
be with the stimulus of all the rest
of life. So that the place to begin
Is at the top and at the bottom. Not
at the top only, nor at the bottom
only, but it is like digging a tunnel,

plication of the Democratic Spirit
Every Man Must be Trained to Do His
Best Work and Every Man Given Free
Scope for His Fullest Development.
(From the D~edicatory Address of DR.. Wal
ter H. Page at the opening of Trinity College
Library, Durham, N. c. February q, 1907
You gentlemen who have the privi-
lege to pursue your studies in this
college have, I hope, read all those
interesting books called Utopias,
from Plato to Edward Bellamy. In
teresting dreams they are of great
minds engaged in the effort to
picture conditions under which hui
man society may reach perfect de-
velopment. They nearly all rest on
this at last, namely, that man will
accumulate so much that he will have
a surplus left and can spend half
to two-thirds of his time listening to
the opera through a photograph and
enjoying the conversation of his
friends in the sweet scented drawing
rooms. Now these Utopias are idle
dreams, because man would degene-
rate under that, but there is one
Utopia, I mean by that, one continu-
Gus movement towards the far-of
possible perfectability of human So
ciety, and there is only one way yet
discovered to reach it: the highest
constructive imagination that we
have bred in our civilization saw it.
He talked of it, dreamed of it, was
w tired of pointing to it. That
man was Thomas Jefferson. Sup
pose we had got there, or nearer
there than we are, what should we
find an ideal community to be like?
1t would not be a place of idleness,
for the trouble with us now is that
all men do not work to the best ad-
vantage, or do not work at all. Let
us see what an ideal community,
town, city or State would be like.
We would find that every one has
equal opportunities before the law.
We do not achieve it in every case
now, nevertheless that is our ideal.
We have an ideal community in that
respect in proportion as we approach
it.
Next, then, would be equality of
opportunity, not simply the chance
for men to get themselves into proper
adjustment after long trials and
many failures, but society would be SO
organized that a man naturally finds
his proper place and falls into it,
The next thing I should say that we
should find in such a community
would be compulsory training. I dc
not mean necessarily what we NEAR
by compulsory education; X
training children and youth may
mean a thousand things We car
train them by schools, by Libraries
by work, by innumerable influences
that come to bear upon the whole
social structure. I cannot helr

TO DISCUSS BOWLING.
Big Crowd of Bowlers Meet Today
Al indianapolis.

indianapolis, Feb 22,--Delegates to
the American bowling congress are ar
irving on every train, Fifteen hun
dred visitors are expected, and one
half that number Is already here. The
congress will meet tomorrow at >
o'clock The adoption Of constltu-
ton viii be the first business.
II Is proposed to change the consti-
tuition to make the basis of representa-
ton by states instead of by tourna-
ments In order to recognize state Or
CARNATIONS. As to the use OF loaded
balls President Bookwalter says the
decision tomorrow viii probably be a
compromise allowing loaded balls. but
limiting the weight to seventeen and
one-half pounds The selection of Of
titers and the place OF the next con-
vtntlon WIN take place Thursday.
The executive committee met today
and decided to limit the weight OF the
balls hereafter to sixteen pounds. This
Is considered compromise between
the advocates and opponents Of the
loaded balls. Balls must be OF wood
but can be loaded TO sixteen pounds
at the option of the players. A WELL
fa'ored proposition will come up to-
morrow for a change in the constitu-
tim to have the national congress
from each team instead of one dele
gite and two alternates from each
hague, as the present congress is COM
posed. IT is argued that this forma-
ion will give more delegates, more
'evenue and more interest. II Will
probably be adopted
