for any dark horse whom the Anti

ker holding more than one-third OF the
convention on the first ballot, as is now
distinctly indicated, 1t would take jan
exceedingly felicitous selection of a
candidate to unite two-thirds of the
convention against him. since this
would involve the drawing over Of
some of his own men. His Georgia
delegates would of course, be free to
go If they saw that his nomination was
out of the question. The Indiana dele
cation would also desert him IL iIeces-
Sary. and quite early. Hence there
would be no serious obstacle to ihvad

can unite on anybody OF sufficient
strength to hold the field in S5o,i,

Chicago Chronicle.
That the State of Illinois should in
struct its delegation to the Democratic
National Convention to support the
candidacy of William r. Hearst for
President is nothing less than dis
graceful.
has sounded many depths of dishonor.
but 1t never before reached any such
an abyss of infamy as this. The shame
of the proceeding passes all compre-
hension.
Hearst as a candidate could not poll
one-half of the Democratic vote of the
State. He owes his strength IN a con-
Nentton VIGOROUSLY corrupt and servile
to amazing Indifference on the part of
real Democrats and to the most Scan
dalous use of money upon the vast ag-
gregation of mercenaries which now in
this city and State operates under the
Democratic name.
This shameless bargain and sale pc
comes the more inexplicable even from
the standpoint of the wretches who per-
fected it when ii is considered that 1t is
wholly futile. Though Illinois had
thrice its allotted influence in the Ma
tional Convention its voice would b.,
unheeded. The Democrats who have
sold or traded its delegation have moth
ing but money and husks to show for
1t. They are ashamed at home and
accused abroad, They will meet hon
est men at St, Louis and they will quail
in their presence
Illinois is not for Hearst. There Is
not decent minority of the paople who
are for Hearst. The Springfield dec
laration is lie and a Islander. and II ia

THE SACRED Two-TH1RDs RULE.


Is 1t sacred? Ought 1t to be enforced
as sacred? We have no reference to
the conduct of the st. Louis Conven-
ton. That body will, of course, be
governed in making nominations by
the two-thirds rule. 1t would be
nothing short of revolutionary as the
case stands for the convention to abro-
gate the rule and proceed to nomina-
tions in disregard of 1t. This thought
is just the reason why Democrats
should begin to discuss the question
for the convention of 1908. If the rule
Is ever abolished it will probably be
done through one convention takine
action to get an expression of opinion
in advance of the next convention. The
convention this year might by simple
resolution invite Democratic organiza-
tions to put themselves on record in
some way in the spring of 1908 on the
question rs the two thirds rule a wise
one in making nominations for the
Presidency and Vice presidency? -

what they think about the matter. The
National Executive Committee could
call the convention, stating that the
majority or the two-thirds rule would
govern, according as the various subor-
dinate conventions had declared for the
one or the other. And in a spirit of
conservatism it might be required that
the abolition of the rule should be only
by a two-thirds vote
The rule itself is an anomaly in par
liamentary law. 1t was brought for
no opposition to Jackson. to compass
Van Buren's defeat for the second place
on the ticket. 1t failed in this and 1t
has ever since been a burden and a
hindrance to the party. 1t does not in
fact ensure the nomination of the
strongest and most acceptable candi-
date. He is as likely as not to be
thrown down by the rule.
1t has been abandoned by the party
in all its State, Congressional and
County Conventions. 1t is used in the

With this week closes the State Nor
nal Summer SCHOOL, term dedicated
solely to teaching adult teachers how to
teach.
AS the JOURNAL understands it, this
course has to do with discipline, method
and other elements of school government.
How far tuition in these directions has
gone is not within our province to know
but one averment is incontestable that
if the students have not been taught
that no school can stand more than one
imperialist. all the rest is vain.
By this the JOURNAL means that there
must be but one master in any school,
and whether he or she at any time
directs or orders right or wrong, that
direction or order shouH be obryed by oil
subordinate teachers us well as pupils
And that without cavil.
A State Normal School, High School,
or any public school, with more than
one master, Is innately, constitutionally,
