tn ghost. But their Incarnation was
inspired by enthusiasm and was with
out taking counsel of sound judgment
or weighing the far-reaching PERM
ciouS consequences. The ghost should
be laid forever. The friends of the
south, both here and at the north,
could not do this section and her peo-
pie and u American institutions a
worse turn than continue to call up
an attempt to clothe in any palpable
or substantial form the perturbed and
perturbing spirit Of Blairism. Let 1t
re5t,"
The argument which killed a SIM
liar offer made through the Blair bill
years ago is equally strong to-day
you will pauperiZe the south by pro-
viding for the education of its youth,
take from the states their responsible
ity and obligation in the matter and
strike a blow at the cause OF educa-
ton. Time has proved the justice OF
this objection raised years ago. The
refusal to accept the money then ten
dered us stimulated the cause Of edu-
cation, and the southern states have
increased the appropriation for their
public schools more than fivefold what
Senator Blair proposed to give. Had
the offer been accepted, it would have
served as a good excuse for cutting
down the school appropriation.
But beyond all this stands the dan
ger that even President Dabney sees
federal interference with the school
system-and which he dismisseS airily
with the declaration hat we must
not permit it. With thousands OF
teachers, educators n others draw
ing money from the federal school
fund, with millions Of children edu-

year to do without the money, and
more difficult to check federal inter-
ference, which will come gradually as
it has come through the federal court.
The educational system of a state is
the bulwark of it's political liberty
and civilization. If we were to turn
our schools over to the federal gov
eminent, as administered by Mr..
Roosevelt and the republican party
to-day, it would be the death blow to
the civilization Of the south. 1t viii

MANAGER HENLEY TALKS

Has Dave Durbin gone over to the
Central League with his Elwood out
fit?
According to dispatches sent out
it looks like the foxy aud trouble
making magnate was prepared to
jump. A dispatch from EIwood sent
out last evening that it was almost
a certainty that Elwood would with
draw from the Western League and
enter the Central League within
week or two. When Durbin. was ask-
ed point sbiark. n He intendtt 5dffil5s
ing the Western League, he would
not deny that the change is propos-
ed and ended the interview by say
ing: "Wait until next week and
see."
An Indianapolis dispatch said that
Durbin arrived in that city yesterday
noon and attended the meeting of
the Central League managers and re-
sfued to discuss the action Elwood
might take.
Manager Henley last evening re-
marked that if Durbin did "pack his
clothes and go' it would make the
circuit "small, but extremely Sc
lect," and that the Western League
would continue in the field.
"Will Ft. Wayne and some other
Central League city be asked to
come in?" Mr.. Henley was asked.
"That I can not tell" he re-
sponed. GAS / do not know what
views the other managers hold on the
subject. Personally / don t think
they will be extended the invita-
tion.'
The polo situation is certainly in
muddled condition at the present
time and the local fans are watching
the outcome with great interest.
The Indianapolis Sentinel printed
the following article last evening:
At a special meeting of the Gen.
trail League polo magnates, held at
the Imperial Hotel today, the infor-
NAL telephone vote of last Sunday
