Law on Corporal Punishment.

Law on Corporal Punishment.
The supreme court of Maine has de
cided that a schoolteacher has right
to infict bodily punishment on an un,
ruly pupil. The case was that of
Prince A. Kilgore of Auburn, who
sued Georgia NJ. Hartford to recover
81, 900 damages for having whipped
his fourteen-year-old son in school.
Harvard's Short Cut Degrees.
The Harvard faculty Of arts and
sciences has decided that a man pass
ing enough courses for the A. B. de-
gree at the middle of his senior year
may receive his degree at that time
instead of waiting until the end of the
year. This action has long been ia
vored by President Eliot and more
progressive members of the faculty
and marks a radical departure at Har-
ward, where heretofore degrees have
been awarded only at commencement.
Raising Prineeton's Standard.
Over sixty students of Princeton

PARKER'S SURE WARNING.
Personality of the New Yorker Fails
10 Interest Voters.

Personality of the New Yorker Fails
TO Interest Voters.
The weakness of the Democratic cause
is illustrated anew with every psssing
day. The presidential candidate is as
backboneless, as void of interest. as the
platform constructed by process of
elimination at st. Louis, a process car
ried 50 far as to make the standing place
of national party look like a frail float
ing raft, all stringers and no flooring.
The people never took to" Judge Par
ker. From the first they We're unable to
get into sympathy with the judicial fig
ure-head erected by David Bennett Hill
to attract votes. As the campaign pro-
crossed the candidates few and intellect
Gus utterances completely sundued any
rising tide of partisan zeal such as near
ly always carries the hosts Of party
into something likA an enthusiastic con
test How could anybody get up enthu-
sasm fer the bland, self-satished, manag-
ing politician whose every utterance
shows the contracted sphere of his inter
ests and influence?
Even the hope of rehabitating the
party and getting it into line somewhere
near the advancing forces of the rest of
the world has not been able to enlist the
rank and file Of the Democrats for Par
ker. There are armies of them who will
vote for Roosevelt, brigades, regiments
and squads of them who will VOTE for
Watson. for Debs, for any candidate but
Parker.
HiIPs candidate lacks all the elements
of popularity. He has not aroused the
Imagination of the people He has not
compelled their respect. he has not arous-
ed their confidence. AS a young college
man said the other day, Parker has no
go in him.
On the other hand, the Republican can
didate is a figure to draw to him every
generous soul in the country. Let the

an uncertain, unknown, secretlve man
like Alton Il. Parker.
All through the golden days OF Octo-
Der. as the leaves fall through the hazy
air. the hearts and minds of the mass of
voters are turning TO Roosevelt, and when
the chill November day arrives, the day
of the national election, there viii be
such a rush of enthusiasts 70 the polls
as has never been seen in the land be-
fore. enthusiasts of all ages, degrees, con-
ditions. colors. religions and political ar
filiations. and these will storm the boxes
with ballots for Theodore Roosevelt for
President Of the United States.

New York state in the Election.

Scareheads in the big daily newspa-

cannot make the people of Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin and Min
nesota-in short, the Middle West-be-
lieve that the great parent State of New
York is going to turn its back on Roose-
welt. and vote for the unknown, shifty
and treacherous elements manipulated by
Parker and Hill.
New York farmers, mechanics, busi-
ness men and manufacturers are made
of the same material from which came
the settlers of the Middle West. The
same ideas. the same feelings animate
all. East and West, when it comes to the
real people.
Hundreds of thousands of the good
old York State" stock remained at home
when The more venturesome of its sons
and daughters came West. And there
in the Empire State the sturdy good
sense and conscience of the old stock
still rules. despite the tremendous
strength of the Democracy in the massed
ignorance and recklessness of the great
est city and greatest seaport of the con-
tinent.

think when election day comes. And az

a good Republican majority for Roosevelt
in New York. The people of that State

DESIRE OF THE VOTERS.
Roosevelt Will BE Elected aud Re-
publican Policies Continued.

publican Policies Continued.
As election day draws near it becomes
more certain that the Republican parry
/ is going to be continued in power by the
expressed desire of an immense majority
OF voters. The people had made up their
minds before the shouting and the hur-
| rabing of the campaign began. Recent
| ly. under the questions of canvasSing
committees from both great national par
/ ties, they have revealed their minds.
| Every Republican will vote for Roose-
welt, no matter what local disturbances
affect his ticket. Many who were Demo-
Gratis before 1896 will vote for Roosevelt.
although, naturally, they say little about
their intention. and a very large number
of Independents have openly declared for
him.
The fact is that the Democratic party
has shown inability to manage the affairs
of the nation Its weakness was so con
spicuously displayed when it was last in
power that hosts of men became convinc-
ed that it no longer represented any
branch or contingent of the intelligent
people of the United States. The free
silver craze of 1896 and 1900 completed
the wreck of a once idolized party fetch.
Thousands of old-time Democrats, thou
sands of young men with Democratic
affiliations, deserted the ancient standard
and came into the life and vigor of Re
publicans. There they remain.
The election in November of this year
will show that the men who joined the
party of honest money in 1896 and in
1909 have resolved to support the party
of honest money. of national prosperity,
OF sound virile activity in the work Of
international improvements, Of digni-
fed. strong foreign policy, of protection
to American citizens ut home and abroad,
Of equal opportunities and justice to all
without regard to race, color or relig-
ion.
1t will reveal the earnest devotion of
hundreds of thousands of first voters TO
the principles OF Republicanism.
Inefciency. uncertainty, division in
council, these do not command the inter
est and good will Of the american peo-
ple. The little coterie under the wing of
David Il. Hill in New York is going to
have great object lesson in the near
future.
The country Is safe in the hands of
the Republican party. Roosevelt and
Fairbanks are typical Republicans. Their
Endorsement, by an immense majority. is
certain.
