HORSE MEETS DEATH
AT END OF RUNAWAY
Team Driven by Fred Rogers Starts
Mad Rush on Rondo Street

Two horses drawing a two seated
buggy started on mad run at Rondo
street and Western avenue late last
night and dashed at a breakneck speed
down Rondo street. The buggy broke
from the shafts at Rondo street and
Harrington avenue and the horses con-
tinued TO run until they reached Rice
street and College avenue, where one
of them fell One of the horses was
seriously injured and was destroyed.
The buggy was driven by Fred Rog-
ers, and with him were three friends,
whose names could not be learned last
night. They had been at Como park
and were on the way back to the barr,
when the horses took fright and ran
away:
Fred Schroeder, owner of the horses,
insisted on Rogers paying for the loss
of the horse and the damage to the
buggy. On the refusal to make set
tlement Schroeder had Rogers taken
to the police station, catching to
prefer a charge of cruelty to animals.
Rogers was not placed under arrest and
was allowed to go.

HUBER CONFIDENT
LUNCHES WILL GO
Father of Ordinance Abolishing Free
Food Says Measure Will Pass

The anti-free lunch ordinance will
come before the board of aldermen for
passage Tuesday evening, July 10, and
President Huber, who introduced the
measure, claims that a sufficient num-
Der of votes have been pledged to in
sure its enactment.
"And it will go through the assem-
bly,, too" he said. "a great majority Of
the saloonkeepers are in favor of the
measure, and they tell me that ma
jority of the members of the assembly
have already agreed to support it. The
saloonkeepers make no money by serv-
ing free lunch, and seem to be willing
to stop the practice if all persons in the
business do SO. There has been some
talk that the brewers would antagonize
the ordinance, but I am given to I'M
derstand that such will not be the
case"

pense. The reform was finally effected
by department orders in the absence of
law. In the same way the question of
compensation for extra clerks is being
settled. In the same way the depart
ment is proceeding to establish CEN
sorship over advertisements. In the
same way an executive order increases
our pension expenditures by millions at
a stroke of the pen.
In all or nearly all these cases the
end aimed at was laudable. In all or
nearly all Of them congress ought to
have acted. This does not change the
moral aspect of the result. Taking adj
vantage of the laches of congress and
of the fact that the people would ap
prove of certain results, executive de-
partments go quickly forward and do
by administrative order that for which
no legal sanction exists. 1t is a dan
gerous habit, disastrous practice and
one that the public should quickly and
sharply check. Through our indiffer-
ence and the growing incapacity of
legislatures to legisiate, we are turn
ing over the practical direction of gov
eminent from the legislative to the
executive department This is just as
evil and as dangerous when it"happens
by failure Of duty on one side as by
active intent to usurp on the other.
The time has come to put an end to it.

BOSTON, Mass, July 1O.-Booker T.
Washington, while here today, ex-
pressed surprise because he had been
quoted by Capt. Richmond P. Hobson,
at the national Democratic convention,
as having suggested in a recent ad-
dress before the National Educational
association in St. Louis, that white
people and colored people should at
tend the same schools and church In

Mr.. Washington said that Capt.
Hobson must have made mistake in
reading his speech or had been mis-
informed as he had never made any
such suggestion and that the subject
was not touched upon in the address
mentioned.

THE AMERICAN SYSTEM

Sect of what constitutes the American
system. These poor creatures had a
notion that the entrance of the United
States on the isthmus as landholder
would mean great things for them.
tThe republic of Panama in particular,
Which would never have had an exist
ence but for the arbitrary acts of this
administration, which owes its very
life and it's immunity from immediate
downfall to oIr army and navy, and
which passed over to us everything

in their complaints of recent rulings
by the United States. Vessels sailing
from La Boca, instead of being received
and dispatched by the authorities of
Panama, must now take their clearance
papers from representatives of the
United States. Thus the long arm of
this country is stretched a little farther
to dispute the autonomy of its petty
Rassals. More serious than that is the
discussion of the revenue question.
The Panama republic must depend
chiefly upon receipts from customs. If
commodities from the United States
are allowed to enter the canal zone
without payment of duty, nothing can
keep them from free entry into Pam
anna. Smuggling cannot be prevented
SO small state. An effort to check it
would probably cost the Panama gov
ernment more than the entire customs
revenue would amount to. It is, there
fore, helpless in the premises. All that
the people can do is to hope that a
satisfactory arrangement will be made
between Panama and the United States
authorities"
Just such an arrangement will be
made as the administration and the big
corporate interests of the country think
most to their advantage. That has
been the rule in Porto Rico and in the
Philippines. The legislation of the
United States with reference to its
Philippine possessions is an utter dis
grace. We say this without reference
to the question whether we should or
should not retain control of the islands.
Assuming that they are to be our prop
erty and their people our servants for
ever, it would still be all the more dis
graceful that we should deal with
them in the abominable way that we
have. Every act Of congress relating
to trade with the Philippines has been
dictated by desire to give the great
sst possible advantage to American
monopoly at the greatest possible ex-
pense to the helpless Filipino.
That is what the people Of Panama
have to expect. When the American
republic turns pirate it follows the Gus
ternary law Of decadence and becomes
2 good deal worse than the man or the
nation that has engaged in piracy all
its life. The Panamans have but a
faint hope for the future in relying
upon the good will and fair dealing OF
the United States. Those qualities

THE GLAMoR OF The LIFE SPo.
IITICAI

A thousand men have Sweltered
through a week of the most strenuous
labor in st. Louis in attendance at the
national convention. Each individual
has been put to considerable personal
expense. and an amount of personal
discomfort that is only to be appre-
ciated- by those who have tasted the
merciless driving of the spirit when
dashed under the stress of long sus-.
tanned excitement caused by mixing
with an excited and fighting mob.
There is nothing takes it out Of a man
quite SO thoroughly as this mixing
with a mob. Then there is the grind
of sitting through convention sessions,
spending hours Of alternating sensa
tons of depression and exhilaration.
according to the progress of the par
ticular business in which the indiyid-
uai is interested. Each day Is more
exhausting than the previous one, yet
at the finish the tired out delegate
cheerfully resolves himself into a
faction because he has helped to save
the country by fixing upon one man
the burden of nomination. Then he
goes homer sadyewern-eut, much poorer

gate to a convention Of another sort
who was said to have taken a clean
shirt and two-dol1ar bill to the con-
vention and returned home without
changing either-but with a CLEAN of
satisfaction in his eye.
Why do men do it? The average
delegate to the national political con-
yention is a man of substance and
standing in his community. There were
men on the convention floor in ST.
Louis cumming with anybody that
would chun who are utterly unap-
proachable at home; men who carry
with dignity the burden of great Of
flee Or important business enterprises.
They threw aside their dignity, forgot
their exclusiyeness, wilted their col
lars and shouted with the mob with all
the abandon of ward politicians.

great number Of the delegates should
| have any hope of, orsdesire to, secure
for themselves any direct profit 1t is
equally out of the question that they
should be- impelled to become enthu-
siastic spendthrifts under the inspira-
ton of abstract patriotism. They do
not do it for glory, for that is only at
tanned by the very few.
Whatever the inspiring motive it is
well for the country that it's substan-
tial citizens do find the inspiration to
go to national conventions, to strive
with might and main to promote the
| advantage of the party holding to
those principles which most appeal to
the individual. 1t is the tremendous
force of devotion to an organization
and an idea that makes SO many willing
to sacrifice time, money and comfort
Let us be glad that there are plenty
such men and treat them as patriots
1t is the only return most of them will
ever get.

RACE DEVELOPMENT AND vUL-
GAR FRACTIONS

The editor Of the Forum, who has
ucational matters for his magazine,
discusses in the July number, ''Why
Our Educational Machinery Does Not
Yield a Better Product" He declares
in the beginning of his article that the
average layman has little or no means
of ascertaining whether the product of
the public school system is improving
or retrograding for the reason that the
educators are concerned merely with
the perfecting Of the system: they ig-
more the product entirely. His sugges-
ton is, and 1t is really the text on
which he has preached his sermon,
that theNschool superintendent apply a
broad and comprehensive test to every
pupil above the third or fourth grades,
that these tests be arranged in. tabu-
lated form and that they be accom-
panied by a description of the con-
ditions under which each individual
ing. These tabulated tests, together
with the institution Of a central bu-i
reau Of public education to which they
could be sent, would, according to the
writer, give the layman an opportu-
nifty Of learning the standing of the
educational product in each locality
and Of comparing these standings.
For this writer pooh -poohs the mod
ern contention that a test or examina-
pupils progress, his mental capacity
and his standing. He intimates that
| the mere fact that a child is sent to
| school to learn fractions or the multi
| plication table or the dates of famous
| battles is an excellent reason why he
| should learn these things and should
| learn them accurately. He fouts the
| up-to-date idea that the least impor-
| tant part of a lesson in arithmetic is to
teach the children arithmetic; and that
| the least important part of lesson in
! punctuation is to teach the children
| punctuation, ETC. But he declares that
! the average educator is imbued with
| the idea that the things really needed
| by the individual are extremely petty
compared with those that are neces-
sary to the development of the race.
1t is this belief, according to the writer,
| that has caused the failure of the pres
| ent very much improved educational
| machinery
| His contention that the immediate
concern of the educator should be the
| teaching of those branches which are
| assigned him or her to teach and not
| race development is common-sense
one, and ultimately educators must
| learn new appreciation Of its i'm
portance. Today the needs of the child
| are being considered at the expense of
the needs of the pupil. The concern of
the educator is not whether he is learn
| ing accurately to do sums, to write in
telligibly and to spell correctly, but
| whether he is being taught an interest
| in life outside his regular occupation.
Yet the majority of children who at
| tend public schools have to earn their
| own living, they have to have>a work.
/ ing knowledge of the three RS to do
| this, and if they haven't it they are apt
1 to be failures whether or not thew take
an interest in life outside their occu-
patton. II the pupil is taught vulgar
fractions correctly, the race develop
ment will take care of itself.
