PRESIDENT WILSON PLEADS.
Declares for More Liberal Education for
Proposed Bankers.

A dispatch from New York says: Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson of Princeton Uni
versity, in a speech at the annual dinner Of
the New York Chapter of the American
Institute of Bank Clerks. made plea for
liberal education among men who purpose
to go into the banking business. He said
that there was no other business so closely
related, for good or for evil. to the life
of the body polite, and that no other bust
ness offered more opportunities for the use
full exercise of broad and liberal states
manship.
incidentally, DIR. Wilson said things about
the manipulators of big financial deals and
the men who corner the market. and spoke
pleasantly of the politicians. He wondered.
he said. how the former could rest in their
beds or digest their food when they
thought of the results of their deals. rs
for the politicians, the bank clerks. he
thought, would not care about meeting
them.
DR.. Wilson also said that although he
was not predicting a social or economic
revolution in this country. he believed that
If it ever came. Ii would come as a result
of the shortsightedness of the big business
leaders in dealing with the conditions of
the times.
DR.. Wilson's subject was Business and
Politics. He began by saying ,that the
business of education is. after ALL what it
is generally supposed to be-a training in
tne unutrStanulflB OF llIe- Although No
live in an age of technical education the
signs of the times. he declared. are that Il
will not be that ten years from now. The
world is beginning to see that the man who
learned only his task cannot know his task
well-so various and intricate have become
the relation of things in the business world.
The business world. President Wilson as
serted. isn't what 1t used to be. 1t no
longer has local limits or geographical

Elaborate Arrangements for Its Report

The Department of Agriculture is max
ing elaborate arrangements for its report
on the acreage and condition of the cot

for June and July. A large number of
correspondents will send in detailed re-
ports on the cotton acreage and condition

ed to use the greatest care, especially for
acreage, and to base their opinion upon

expressed in the form of a percentage OF

The cotton schedule for June % will be
concerned solely with the condition of the
cotton crop on that date. The June report
of various crops will be concerned largely
with acreage. The official correspondents
throughout the country have been advised
that the estimated probable average yield
per acre of winter wheat on the present
area should accord closely with their state
ment of the condition of this crop. In their
reports for the summer months they viii
estimate the condition, in the form of an
average yield per acre as well as giving
the usual percentage figures as TO normal

at Huntington, Va, for a week on the
charge of murder. was convicted of murder
in the first degree, but the jury recon-
mended mercy, and his neck will probably
be saved, though the judge has not yet inn
posed sentence. Thompson, on the night of
the republican convention in that city, be-
came involved in quarrel with Leander
Gilkerson, jr., near the convention hall,
and stabbed him to death, Gilkerson being

all. of them are bringing their native wives
and children home with them.

THE REAL QUESTION

On the day of the issue of Presi-

the day Of the Maine election, by
the way-the press reports noted a
long visit to Judge Parker by David
Bennett Hill.
It is probable, If not certain, that
the two friends who "have drunk
from the same canteen" throughout
more than one campaign, discussed,
thoroughly, one immortal saying Of
their well-beloved Thomas Jefferson,
namely:
"IF A DUE PARTICIPATION OF
OFFICE IS A NATTER OR RIGHT,
HOW ARE VACANCIES TO BE
FILLED? THOSE BY DEATH ARE
FEW; BY RESIGNATION, NONE"
This is, indeed, for the Democrats,

Does Not Make Monopolies.

Protection has not established IN
this country any manufacturing or
other monopoly, The express and
telegraph companies, the sleeping
car companies, the railroad COM
oanies themselves, including the
electric and street car companies,
tine gas and electric light companies
in towns and cities, and every other
aggregation of capital to which eX-
elusive privileges are granted or
secured by legislation are in their
very nature monopolies, but none of
these we have specifically mentioned
are in anyway protected by tariff
duties. The only manufacturing
monopoly in the supply of the
"A merican markets that we have
ever known to be properly charge
able to our tariff legislation was the
Welsh tin-plate monopoly now
happily ended, which for decade after
decade absol ltely controlled the
supply of tin-plates to the people of
our country and the prices at which
they were sold, but that was a
foreign monopoly and not creation
OF our protective policy. For years
and years our tariff legislation fos-
tered this foreign monopoly by low
duties. Tt was always defended by
American free traders. 1t was the
protective tariff of 1890 which
brought it to an end.

Without questioning the sincerity
of Judge Parker's expressions on the

than the following:

A young man about to form his
earliest political alliance and cast his
first vote should seek to be with a
progressive party. The young natural
ly look to the future rather than to
the past. A political record that
holds out no promise of future achieve
ments is of little value. The Repub-
lican record of things done shows
that it is party Of progress and the
only one that appeals to patriotic
young Americans.
