THE HANNA ROOSEVELT LET.
TIERS.

Kansas City Star-The publication
of the letters that passed between
President Roosevelt and the late SEN
,ator Hanna at the time Of the latter's
illness should convince the country no
ascerbity existed between these two
men as a result of political differences
that in some measure divided them.
Both letters are characteristic. They
are instinct with good fellowship and
personal sympathy. They are wholly
devoid of formality. Each evinces a
fine appreciation Of the man to whom
it is addressed. These two letters
leave nothing to be said by factionists
on either side. They should help to
harmonic the republican party to
some extent, for they sould remove
those agreeable personalities that so
often arise through strong, individual
leadership, opposed to it's kind.

IOWA REPUBLICANS.

Washington, D. c., Post-There is
scarcely any question on which the
democratic party, in the national sense
is more at sea, more completely at
odds, than is the republican party in
the overwhelming republican state of
Iowa on the tariff. But the Iowa re-
publican factions, while continually
fighting each other not only between,
but during campaigns, get together on
election days and unitedly PUNK
their torrents of shot, shell and shrap-
mel into the democratic hulk. To that
degree OF partisanship the democracy
of the nation is unable to attain. 1t
cannot agree upon truce and bring
its factions together for even a single
day in four years.

ABOUT THE coREANs.

"Will the Coreans fight and what
part will they take in the war now in
progressin the Orient? These are ques-
lions that are now being considered in
connection with the far east events.
Telegraph dispatches thus far indicate
that the Corean army of $4,000 men,
will in all probability act with the Jap
anese. However, many of the Coreans
have been given military training by
the Russians and it is possible that
there will be some Of the warriors
who will sympathize with the Rus
SLAMS. In fact, in the first engagement
with the soldiers of the car, 1t is
reported that the Coreans would not
stand and whether they did not care
to fight or whether in spite OF their
training they could not stand In the
face of disciplined troops, are consid-
erations that have not yet been defin-
itely determined.
II is remembered that in the old era,
when China, Japan and Corea were
fighting western influences, the Cor
cans made successful war on the Japs.
In 1866 they made determined stand
against a French expedition up the
Han river. Again in 1871 Admiral
Rodgers Of the American navy went
up The Ping Yang river and landed
GA marines, carried the forts by storm
and drove the Coreans, from the river
holding his position for three weeks:
r This expedition was madefin order
ito obtain satisfaction for the assault
made upon the American trading
schooner, General German, in 1866
when the vessel was captured and the
crew massacred by the Coreans.. In
spite Of the defeat of The French, Ad-
miral Rodgers attacked the Coreans,
captured their stronghold with loss
of only three killed and seven wound
ed, demonstrating that the Coreans
would not stand in the field. against
the American forces. 1t is also re
membered that the Corean army play
ed no important part in the Japanese
Chinese war of 1S94-1S95. This adds
to the doubt as to whether they will
have any deciding influence in the
present struggle.

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.

Marion Register.-Iowa voters are to
be compelled again to decide the ques-
ton Of biennial elections in the state.
Every member of both house and sem
ate knew that a very large majority
of all the influential papers of both
parties We're against it, but for some
unexplainable reason they voted in
favor of the ill-advised submission.
At the last election when it was be-
fore the people less than half the vot-
ers paid any attention to it. So it may
be again, and if so a majority of one
fourth the voters of the state may de-
eide to change the constitution of the
state on this important question. 1t
is to be regretted that even one mem
Der of the general assembly would
vote for such an unsafe and unwise
possibility. All honor. however. to the
members who had the courage of the
convictions and voted right-"No."

EnllcArloN oE THE NEGRO.

In his inaugural address the govern
or of Mississippi made recommenda-
ton that school funds be placed in the
hands of the state Legislature that the
education Of the negroes might cease.
He proposed that the opportunity to
learn from books be taken away from
them and that they be educated in 9TH
er lines, though he failed to specify
what these other lines should be. he.
contended that the education OF the ne
gro increased his tendency to crimln-
.ality. Attic time. Booker I. Wash
.ington, the champion OF the negro,
challenged the accuracy OF Governor
Vardaman's statements, he entered
an objection to the Withholding of ed
ucational privileges from the negro.
To 7substantiate his opinions on this
question, which were at variance with
the governors he addressed letters OF
inquiry to many prominent white men
of the south asking each eight CUES
tons bearing on the recommendations
Of Governor Vardaman. He has re-
ceived 1856 replies which contain the
following Interesting information:
Has education made the negro a
more useful citizen?
!: Yes .121; no A., unanswered II.
Has it made him more economical
and more inclined to acquire wealth?
Yes. 9S;. no IA; unanswered "a.
Does it make him more valuable
workman especially where skill and
thought are required?
Yes, 1872; no 2; unanswered 2.
Has education improved the morals
of the black race?
Yes 81; no 20; unanswered 10.
Has it made his religion less emo
tional and more practical?
Yes 101; no 16; unanswered 10.
Is,it, as a rule, the ignorant or the
educated who, commit crime?
Ignorant 115;' educated 8; unanswer-
ed II.
Does crime grow less as education
increases among the colored people?
Yes 1902; no 10; unanswered Is.
Is the moral growth of the negro
equal to his mental growth?
Yes 55; no as; unanswered 80.
This. result is as conclusive in fav-
or of the negro as any such investi-
CATION could be. 1t is shown that in
the opinion of men who are in close
touch with the race problems his con,
dition has been actually bettered and
he has been enabled to make himself
of more practical benefit to the state
| by being educated than would have
been possible without such training.
Regardless of what the Vardamans or
the Tillmans may say the American
will continue the policy adopted years
