A SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.

journalism is not new profession,
but unlike almost every other there
have never been schools established
for its teaching, the boy who would
be newspaper man being obliged to
begin the study and actual practice
of his calling at the same moment.
This method has produced some
mighty good newspaper men in its
time, but Joseph Pulitzer of the New
York World after lifetime Of news
paper work, which has thoroughly
acquainted him with all it's phases,
evidently believes that the old way of
creating a journalist can be improved
upon, and he has set aside the goodly
sum Of 50, 900, 900 for the establishment
Of school of journalism in connec-
tion with Columbia University, New
York city.
Mr.. Pulitzers ideas and purposes
are best explained in the announce
ment through his own paper, the
World:
In every other pursuit where men
are under an equal moral responsible
ity to the public for the proper dis
charge of their duties they are prepared
for those duties by years Of careful
and conscientious study. The lawyer,
who may imperil your fortune by ten
lines of erroneous legal advice; the
doctor, in whose opinion, good or bad,
may repose all the possibilities of life
or death for those whom you love
from these men the state exacts, as a
rule, from eight to ten years of ar
duous preparation; but the newspaper
men, who are in many directions the in
formers and teachers of the people, the
opponents and to degree the makers
of that public opinion which rules
| communities and governs states and
the nation, have hitherto received no
special preparation for their delicate
and important duties''

ened great many Americans concern
ing affairs in the islands during his
stay in this country. He has been in
terviewed and dined and no matter
what the occasion, he has talked of
his work and that of his associates in
way that always showed his deep
interest in it. At St. Johnsbury, just
before the commissioner departure,
his fellow townsmen gave banquet
in his honor On that occasion Judge
Ide delivered an address in which he
gave some illustrations of American
methods of government in the archi-
pelago. In the following extract from
that speech there is much information
in nutshell and the Journal gladly
prints it. Judge Ide said;
president Mckinley said he should
make no more important appointments
than the Philippine commission. 1t
is government there of the people,
by the people and for the people.
There are thousand municipalities
and their municipal council is chosen
by the Philippine people, making a
pure and absolute local government.
Every single official, with one oy two
exceptions, is Filipino elected freely
by the votes of the people There are
forty provincial governments and five
officers in each province-the fiscal or
States attorney, the secretary, the
governor, the treasurer and the super
visor or civil engineer. The fiscals
and secretaries in each province are
F1lipinos. The governors are chosen
by the presidents of the municipali-
ties, and with five or six exceptions
these are all Filipinos. The treasurer
of each province is an American, and
the supervisors are necessarily Ameri-
cans as there are no civil engineers as
yet among the natives. There are
three Filipinos on the commission,
three out of seven supreme court JUS
tices are Filipinos, all but six or seven
of the judges of the first instance are
Filipinos. Furthermore Congress has
provided in two years for a legislative
assembly, which will probably con-
tain only Filipino members, and will
be the next branch of government be-
low the commission.
1--WE have more efficient civil SER
vice law than in the United States,
several thousand Filipino teachers and
], 200 American teachers There is a
board of health, courts all over the
islands where justice is impartially
administered a million dollars was
appropriated at one stroke for good
roads, and four million dollars for the
improvement of the harbors of Manila,
Cebu and Iloilo. This development,
gentlemen, is not for exploiting the
Filipino for the benefit of the United
States, but the one great aim OF our
policy in the Philippines is what can
we do to better the condition of this
people who for 1000 years had been
misgoverned by European mon
archy."

Ernest l.. Blumenschein, whose
pictures of THE Day of the Run"
are announced as feature of the Sep
TENDER Century, was destined for a
violinist by his father, who gave him
every possible musical advantage,
while discouraging the lad talent for
drawing. For years the struggle went
on, the father urging the claims of
music, the son practicing faithfully,
but finding his delight in drawing.
Sent to Cincinnati for violin study
under Campanari, the youth had his
first taste of fine pictures and was soon
at work in the Cincinnati art school.
Then he went to New York and
studied in the Art Students League,
and later to Paris and the Academic
Julien, returning to take up magazine
illustration in America in 1896.

SECRETARY ROOTS RETIRE
MENT.

Few will deny that when President
Mckinley induced Elihu Root of New
York to accept the office of Secretary
of war, he made wise and happy
move. At that time the department.
was undergoing one of the periodical
seasons of distrust that the public be-
slows on every branch of the govern
ment machinery and it needed a
strong man to remove the stigma of
suspicion. Root proved to be the
right man and as his term Of Office
lengthoned it became more and moce
apparent that man of ususual fiber
was at the helm of the department.
It has been rumored several times that
the secretary was to leave his official
place to resume the practice of law.
This has not materialized, however,
and it has been taken for granted that
Roosevelt exerted every influence to
retain the New Yorker as a mem Der
of his official family.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1903-08-20

These rumors are abroad again but
this time they are of such a nature as
leads to the belief that there is some
thing in them. 1t is common know
ledge that any lawyer of first class
rank makes a great pecuniary sacrifice
when he leaves his practice to enter
the cabinet, and although Mr.. Root
can afford this sarcifice, it is only
natural that he desires to return to
his profession in which he has made
name hardly second to any in the
country.
There are certain things in the war
department. which the secretary was
ambitious to accomplish before his
withdrawal. He had a sentimental
reason for wishing to see the establish
ment of tho general staff system dur
ing his term, and to feel that his adj
ministration had been characterized
by the completion of reform for
which he individually was responsible,
1t has been Secretary Roots fortune
to be identified with three acts of con-
structive craftsmanship. He reorgan-
lied the military establishment, he set
up civil government in the Philippines
after suppressing the instruction
there, and he created new, indepen
dent government in Cuba.
There has been talk about Secretary
Roots ambition for further political
honors. 1t has been said that he
would like to be Governor of New
York, and that he would regard this
as a stepping stone to the presidency.
There has also been some talk about
his going to the United States Senate
1t is stated on authority, however,
that nothing is farther from bis mind
than return to public life. He has
had all of it he cares for.
Rather it is said, that it is with
the desire to realize his ambition to
die at the head of the bar of New
York that Mr.. Root resigns from the
cabinet. If there is any public office
that would tempt him again it might
be a seat in the United States Senate.
For the goyernorship of New York he
has not the slightest inclination.
Whatever may be the future course
of Secretary Root his countrymen will
wish him we'll, for he has managed
the war department in a way that
places him high in the list Of secre-
taIies and he will retire with honor.

THE STATE SOL
DIERS.

The "Two Eyed Man" of the Bur-
lington Clipper must have soured on
the Vermont National Guard judging
from the following:
eff L were lady would stay at
home muster week. Really, girls,
that's just what l would do. Such
drunken, idiotic bunch of alleged
soldiers as gathered at the State
camp grounds and formed the wonder
ful Vermont NatioLal GOarl the past
few days were never seen in blue uni
forms in America before. 1t was
worth a mans life to ride in a car
from Burlington after O'Clock, say
nothing about woman. There were,
no doubt, some nice young men in the
lot, but they must have shown them
selves wholly in the day time. The
night owls were yeritable hyenas filled
with booze up to the spilling point, "
Probably the man with a pair of
eyes did not intend to include the en-
tire First Regiment in the drunken
idiotic bunch of alleged soldiers, !"
mentioned, bnt it is easy to see it in
that light from the above statement.
Unfortunately the allusion to the street
car etiquette of some of the guards
men is true to a certain extent, and
occasionally few boys in uniform
will make themselves generally OBJ
ho 60
but it is unfair to stamp the whole
regiment as drunken, idiotic
bunch" in consequence. Unless con-
ditions have changed nightly within
the past year the mice young men"
which the Clipper thinks might have
been in "the lot" are indeed far in
the majority in the First Regiment
By this is not meant young men of the
exquisite type, but just plain clean
hearted toys strong in limb and just
as strong in character. These are in
great majority in the regiment, and
they would scorn to make street car
or street in camp in the least OBJ
| jectionable to either men or women.
Had the 1.-TWO Eyed Man. gone to
| Camp Governor Mccullough when he
was taking observation of the boys
who happened to be going "wide a
bit" in the city, he would have found
the great majority of the guardsmen
gathered in their company streets,
passing the time before "taps'' in the
| legitimate amusements that have been
part of a soldiers life from the be-
ginning and he would have been heart
lily welcomed and entertained
The journal does not care to con.
done the shortcomings of the militia
boys but there are altogether too many
people in the State who have mis-.
taken idea of the annual muster and
such sweeping oondemnations as that
emitted by the Clipper man only
serves to intensity the misunderstood
ing, so the Journal wishes that he OF
the two eyes had visited the camp anC
seen 500 or so boys who must have
been there, before making such {
sweeping condemnation because of the
doings of few.

THE NEW BABY.

Yes, I've got little brother,
Never asked to have him, nuther,
But he's here.
They just went away and bought him,
And last week the doctor brought him,
Weren't that queer?
When heard the news from Molly,
Why, | thought at first twas jolly,
Cause you see.
l s'posed l could go and get him
And then mamma, course, would let
him
Play with me.
But when once looked at him,

that him?
Just that mite?
They said Yes and Amt he cum

And 1 thought they must be funnin'-
He's sight
He's so small, its just amazin',
And you d think that he was blazin',
He's so red
And his nose is like berry,
And he's bald as Uncle Jerry
On his head.
Why, he ism t worth brick,
All he does is cry and kick,
He can't stop.
Won sit up, you can't arrange him
l don t see why pa don't change him
At the shop.
Now, we've got to dress and feed him,
And we really didn't need him

When they know I'd good deal ruther

Prof. Frederick E. Starr, head of
the anthropological department at the
University of Chicago recently star
tied his class and others as well by at
tempting to justify canibalism. He
did not contend that it was right to
kill fellow man in order to obtain
food but held that it was not wrong to
eat him when dead. 1.-The bushmen
and pigmies of Africa, the Fuegians
and Bolo-Cudos of South America,
and the Eskimos of North America, "
said he, care all cannibals. Some eat
human flesh from desire and some from
necessity. 1t is especially in the case
of the latter that | say their cannibal-
ism is justliiaDie. 1t is a fact that
every known tribe which eats dogs al
so feeds on human beings. Dog eat
ing and man eating go together. When
the Eskimo has no walrus he eats his
dog and when his dogs are gone he
eats his brother, if the brother hap
pens to be corpse. If he did not eat
the human flesh he would starve or at
least go hungry. and l think he is all
right in doing as he does Prof.
Starr further remarked that the finest
tribes in Africa are cannibals who
think that they attain the tributes of
the dead relatives or friends by eating
them.

ABOU L. Upton.

Abou T. Upton (may his tribe in

Of his best tea. The angel shook his
head,

said

THE ORIGIN OF VINE.
Poem of John G. SAKE Which Was
Dedicated to Vermonter.

In the current number of the Inter
State Journal Hon. o. M. Tinkham
writes Interestingly of "reminiscences
of the poet SAKE and accompanying
the article is poem dedicated to Mr..
Tinkham. The poem follows:
Ye friends of good cheer,
| pray you give ear;
| sing of old Noah who planted the
vine;
But first, if you please,
Our thirst to appease,
Let's drink to his health in bumper
of wine
When the deluge was Ger,
And good Father Noah
Sat moping, one day, in the shade of
u tree,
An Angel came near,
And, thinking it queer
Said "Tell me, l pray, what the mat
ter may be?"
Said Noah, "I'm curst
With terrible thirst,
So painful, indeed. that I'm ready to
sink;
There's plenty to eat;
I've no lack of meat;
But, Sir, on my soul, l have nothing
to drink. -
"Look on every side,
The Angel replied,
"There is water enough both in river
and rill,
Your fever to slake,
Not to mention the lake,
And many fountain that flows from
the hill"
SAYS Noah, 81 know
The waters still flow
But the deluge has ruined the fluid
for drink;
So many bad men
were soaked in it then
The waters all taste Of the sinners, 1
think -
cit can't be denied
The Angel replied,
'There's something of reason in what
you have said;
Since the water is bad,
IT'S fitting you had
A good wholesome tipple to drink in
Then flying away,
The very next day
Inc Angel came DacK with nandIul
of seeds,
And taught the good man
The properst plan
OF planting, and hoeing and killing
the weeds.
All the beautiful grape
What color and shape
In clusters of purple they hang from
the vine,
And these being pressed
1t is easily guessed,
Old Noah enceforward drank moth
ing but wine
So, cup ere we part
To the man of our heart,
Good Noah-the primitive grower OF
wine;
And one trimming cup,
may, fill it quite upO
To the Angel who gave him the seed
of the vine

From Spanish newspaper sources
comes the hint that one of Pope Plus
X. first acts will be to reform the
music Of the Catholic church along
lines which he himself has advocated
1t is recalled that while the new Pope
was patriarch of Venice he made
efforts to Danish from the churches
all forms of music not strictly relig-
ious and this leads to the suggestion
that one of the initial reforms will be
the restoration of the Gregorian chant
to its rightful place. Eight years ago
Cardinal Sarto published pastoral

TAFT AS SECRETARY OF WAR.

With the assurance that Elihu Root
is soon to retire from the secretary
ship of war comes the probability that
Governor Taft of the Philippines will
be his successor. This leads to wide
discussion as to the result of Mr.
Taft's retirement from authority in
the eastern possessions. 1t is gener-
ally believed that his successor there
will be General Luke e. Wright of
the Philippines commission, A Wash
ington gentleman who has just com
pleted tour of tie world, which
included some time spent in the
Philippines has given an interview
to the New York Times in which he
talks Interestingly of this phase of the
question. Speaking Of Governor Taft
he says: He does not wish to desert
the great work which he has begun,
especially since the Filipinos attach
undue significance to a change of gov
ernors, and they have come to realize
that he is laboring earnestly for their
welfare against moneymaking Ameri-
can interests in the archipelago as
look with disfavor on granting much
in the way of opportunities to the
natives population. Judge Taft could
accept the post of secretary of war
without ceasing to make Philippine
studies aud policies his chief concern
the native would understand that he
was merely moving to a position of
greater influence, where he could stand
for the same things as when in the
islands. -
OF General Wright's promotion to
the governorship the same gentleman
says: This will bring an ex-Con-
federate and lifelong Democrat into
Identification with the Republican
administrations in the Philippine
policy, and so will embarass some-
what Democratic attempts to make an
issue of the conduct of insular affairs
just as the presence of Gen. James f.
Smith of California at the head of
the educational department OF the
of the school system on the part of
the more extreme of the Catholic
publications. How can Catholics
criticise as unfair an educational
system of which one of their own
body is at the head, or Democrats
hold up to opprobrium the Philippine
commission when an eminent Demo.
GRAFT is the controlling spirit? Presi-
dent Roosevelt as the campaign APP
proaches will look on these two situa-
lions with great satisfaction. Gen.
Wright will enter upon his duties as
governor under some peculiar con-
ditions The American element III
the islands, which has been most
active in criticising Taft, has steadily
asserted that Wright as governor
would be satisfactory. Persons IA
miliar with the two men believe
there is not the slightest reason for
regarding them as opponents of differ
ent policies, and Wright's administra-
tion will be in all essential respects
continuance of Taft's. Personally
they have worked together with the
utmost cordiality. But the anti-Taft
element has sedulously cultivated
the idea that Wright would be less
favorable to the Filipinos, although
they have little reason to assign for
this belief except the fact that he
came from a southern State, where
the popular attitude toward the dusky
race is more strongly denied than in
the north. -
