II has been rumored for some time
that President Roosevelt has offered
the portfolio of secretary of the navy
to Representative Dayton Of this dis
trict. Whether such report is true
or not we are not able to say. But
we are inclined to believe there is
some truth in it because the president
fully realizes that there is no better
posted man on naval affairs In this
country than Mr.. DAYTON.
When Mr.. Dayton was first elected
to congress he was placed on the
naval committee, some people say, in
order to shelve him. Be it as 1t may,
he at once began to make study of the
navy, applying his mind diligently to
its various needs, until it was seen
that he was master of the subject.
Men of lifetime experience in the
navy do not hesitate to take his adj
vice on matters pertaining to their
work. This being true there is no
reason why that Mr.. Dayton should
not have the refusal of this great
honor.
1t is rather amusing to listen to
some of the big democrats express
ing their ideas on this appointment.
They undoubtedly think thai Mr.. Day
ton is afraid he cannot be elected to
succeed himself, therefore, he is try
ing to get out of the race. Such an
idea is preposterous. He has car
ried this district by good majorities
when the odds were against him.
Those who would like to see him make
this race again, thinking he will be de-
feated, will surely suffer humiliating
disappointment.
Who Gym find fault with his record
in congress? Has he not been faithful
in the discharge of his duties? Has
he not won for himself an envious
reputation? Is there man in con-
gress that stands more prominently
in the political arena than he?
One thing sure; if Mr.. Dayton is
not chosen secretary of the navy, he
will still continue to pursue his course
in congress, and those who would re-
joice at his defeat can mourn at his
election.

In less than one month the demo-
cratic party will nominate man for
presiaent, the National Convention be-
ing held at st. Louis, July 9th. Who
will be the fortunate candidate and
for what the platform will stand, are
entirely matters of pure speculation.
Some influential politicians predict
that Judge Parker is geatly in the
lead others saw that German is the
man; Hearst has a following. and not
a few want to thrust the honor upon
Grover Cleveland.
The eastern democrats must not
forget that Mr.. Bryan is not elimi-
mated from poiiticts. His voice is just
AS strong as ever and he has won
derful large following. According to
the rule of democratic conventions
the man nominated must receive a
two. third vote of the delegates. No
one dNrbts that Mr.. BRYAN can con.
tlol one-t third of the number.
This being true it is hard to tell
what the outcome might be. 1t is not
likely that harmony will reign
supreme in the convention.
As to the platform, we hardly know
what to say. It is not likely that it
will declare for free silver. That
heresy has long ago been exploded.
Imperialism is a thing of the past
Flee trade has proved miserable
failure. But in spite Of these things
undout tedly their platform will de-
clare for some paramount" 30 char
acteriStic of tat party.
1t is well known fact, however,
that they will say that President
Roosevelt is terror to civilization, n
menace to free government, and man
not worthy to be trusted at the helm
of this great nation. Can thew sue
coed in vilifving such a courageous
and Trustworthy hero as President
Roosevelt? VIII the American people
believe such jingoism? What act of
Mr.. Roosevelt's will justify such ac-
cusations? His administration has
been clean and efficient. He left
nothing urdone towards prosecuting
violators of the pcstoffie department
His nold and fearless conduct Is a
credit to him as a chief magistrate.
Demagogues do not waste their time
in his presence he will not listen to
their bossisp.
No, the intelligent voters of this
country canuot be duped into be-
lieving such Infamous talsehoods.
They are perfectly conscious of the
fact that only upon republican princi-
pies will this government run success

is a general lull in business in
most sections of the country,
Parkersburg is enjoying an I'M
usually healthy business activi-

the fact that this city has never
known "a boom. 1t has had a
steady, healthy growth. The

money to take care of their Gus
toners. Real estate does not
depreciatein value. Every week

TEACHER GIVES TALK ON
FORMER ISLAND HOME
Conditions at Porto Rico Discussed
in Address to Students by
Clayton La Bau.

Clayton La Bau, formerly school teach
er in Porto Rico and now attending the In
dianapolis Business University, gave a
short talk TO his fellow-students yesterday
on the condition of the schools in the
islands. particularly pointing out the i'm
provement made by the schools since the
Americans have been in possession. Before
this time the teacher, who was appointed
for lifetime, got his place through politi-
cal influence rather than through prepara-
ton. There was also little .inducement for
people or learning TO take up the work
since very little OF the money appropriate
ed for school purposes and teachers salar-
les got beyond the hands of the corrupt Off
Gals, through which it passed
The course of study in the schools was
very brief. The girls were taught prayers
and needlework, the boys arithmetic and
reading. Under such conditions il is not
surprising that little interest was taken in
education. Attendance at school was rot
compulsory and the average school life
was two years.
Under the new American school system
there has been a decided change. The
schools established by the government are
patterned after those of New York The
natives. who are enthusiastic over the
American method, readily agreed to the
compulsory law. They were very willing
10 send their children TO school. but as
the old system was imperfect, lit
tie benefit was received.
Now great deal of instruction is being
given through objects rather than through
texts. AS a result, parrOt-like recitatiOnS
are done away. with. There is now a nor
NAL school at Rio Piedras where teachers
are trained. High schools, manual training
and agricultural schools as well as the
graded and rural schools have been estab-
lished. The people are very ready to ac-
cept this American system for they want
their children TO become American citizens
and they realize that this is the first step.
