this giving out news to correspondents
Is a courtesy. Under Roosevelt 1t has
grown into a custom. Strictly speak
ing, no government official Is under
any obligations, real or fancied, to give
out any news" till such news are OFF,
cial facts. Sometimes it is thought
best not to give out such news for
several days. But when such official
news is to be given publicity, then all
papers should have equal rights in OBJ.
tanning them. We will all admit that.
But certainly Mr.. Roosevelt members
of his cabinet, as we'll as congressman,
are under no obligations to give to any
If they do So 1t is courtesy,
pure and simple. And IL any OF the
named officials, are fit to instruct their
subordinates, not to extend such cour-
tesy to offending journals, 1t would
seem q personal privilege they are
entitled to. In the case Of the Boston
Herald and it's representatives. they
were not denied any rights belonging
to the public. They had the chance to
get the news second hand. or from the
extra edition of some favored daily.
The signal service reports In Boston
are bulletined every day. The Herald
could copy the bulletins and thus give
their readers the weather reports. But
for a few days the courtesy Of sending
them to the Herald was omitted.
''But it was beneath the dignity Of
the president to notice the words of a
lying correspondent on so trivial a
matter" Now 1t so happens that
Roosevelt Is a man who has an abhor-
ence of cruelty in any form. He be-
lieves in "the square deal" And for his
children to be accused wrongfully of
such practices touched him more than
some outrageous falsehood concerning
himself. This offending correspondent
had heretofore received all the priv
ileges of receiving the news, courtesy,
he returned by sending an outrageous
lie to his paper concerning the Roose-
welt children. Perhaps it was beneath
his dignity to reply to Parker's lies
during the last few days of the CAM
paign. Just the same, some of us adj
mire man, that can forget his dig
nifty and remember his father. Forget
his dignity and tell lying candidate
for the position he at present occupies
that what he, Parker, says, is 1alSe.
Some years ago Queen Victoria, dur

London was riding in the state car
riage, accompanied by her husband
and children Thousands Of cheering
Englishmen surrounded the carriage.

altho admonished several times by the
queen. Evidently the youngster
Thought he was safe from parental
punishment, but when he persisted IN
his antics, all Of sudden he found
himself across Queen Wictoria's knee
and then and there before the assem-
bled multitude, he received an old
fashioned spanking. Yes, she forgot
her dignity. But the terrific cheering
from the crowd who enjoyed the whole
performance suggested that the people
of England loved a queen who could
forget her dignity. And the people OF
these United States thank God there
is a man in the presidents chair that
can forget his dignity and resent injur-
les to himself and family.

ision. The shippers and consumers
ask for reduced rates on the general
theory that they ought to secure
service at nearly cost price, allow
ing fair margin to pay interest on
tho investment. The capitalist, on
the other hand, insists that he shall
be allowed to reap the rewards or
his labor. He insists that his right is
absolute and that he can charge
whatever rates the business will bear
regardless Of the cost of traDsporta-
ton Not only this but he insists on
capltallzing earning capacity by 1ssu-
ing more stock.
There Is constant conflict among
these lines and as we stated before 1T
Is apparent to us that Mr.. Shaw Is an
extreme capitalist. He answers MIR.
Bryan's definition Of a man who
would first make the rights of CAPT.
tai prosperous and secure and then
let this prosperity when 1T runs over
trinkle down among the masses. Mr.
Bryan as it seems to us represents
the other extreme. He is doubtless
honest in desiring to make the mas
SEES prosperous but it seems to us that
his methods have In them too much
desire to wreak vengeance on the
capitalist. This would, 1t seems to us,
be not only unwise but foolish. 1t
could not result otherwise than dis
astrous to all concerned. There is a
happy medium between these two ex-
tremes which is occupied by the
president and those who voted for him.
The platform on which these voters
stand is Square deal"
The republican party should NOM
mate man who represents this ele-
ment and who has record Of earn
est effort in this direction. Hereto
fore competition could be relied up
on to protect the interests Of the
public but that day has passed. The
government must intervene and as
sumo authority to protect the rights
of the public. 1t would present a
sorry spectacle in this line with a
man In the executive chair thoroughly
saturated with the philosophy Of Dr.
vine Rights Baer.
If compelled to choose between the
divine rights idea and the other ex-
IRENE Of government ownership we
should without hesitation choose the
latter.
That, in brief, is why we oppose
Shaw on the one hand and Bryan on
the other.

HARD 10 PLEASE.
rMt Vernon Record.1

That Is what Brother Rathbun OF
the Marion Register thinks Of the Rec
ord. Why? Because the Record cannot
see why President Roosevelt is not a
demagogue for advocating railway leg
isation along the same lines as that
advocated by Governors LaFollette.
Van SAINT and Cummins, IL they are
demagogues, as the Register says. The
fact is that the railway legislation
proposed by President Roosevelt In
his message was incorporated into a
bill by Governor LaFollette while in
congress number Of years ago, but
the bill never got past the committee.
Governor LaFollette Is reality the
father of that sort of doctrine. Govern
or Van SAINT showed his hand In the
merger matter as did Governor Cum
Minis, both governors mourning the en-
nifty Of certain railway interests there
by. If it Is the part of demagogue
to look after the interests Of the peo-
pie. let us have more demagogues.
But how are we to draw the line be-
tween President Roosevelt and the trio
of governors in this question. The
Register says: "Roosevelt's greatest
desire is for the greatest good for the
greatest number. The greatest desire
of the governors Of Iowa and Wiscon-
sin is their own preferment." But
how does the Register know this? The
scripture says: "By your work We
shall be known" Does the Register
have higher authority?

RIGGS FAvoRs CONSOLIDATION.

state Superintendent Riggs, in his
address before the State Teachers As
sociation at Des Moines last, evening,
made his position on the question of
consolidated schools very clear and
plain. He not only favors the change,
tainty Of the near future. 1t Is, in his
opinion, the only method whereby the
country schools may be brought to
approach the efficiency Of the graded
city schools. Under present conditions
general school work in the country IS
poor. Meagre and irregular attendance
inadequate equipment, inexperienced
teachers, with frequent changes, and in
some cases inadequate scholarship,
short terms and miserable classical
ton, are some Of the objections made
by the state superintendent to the
present rural system. OF attendance
he says:
From reports recently received from
secretaries of the rural schools of the
state 1t is shown that last year sixty
Ave In every 100 of our rural schools
had an average daily attendance dur
ing the fall term of fifteen days or less;
sixty-tWO In every 100 had like small
attendance during the winter term, and
sixty-nine in every 100 had a like small
attendance during the spring term,
Or. if we take the number of schools
where the average daily attendance
was more than twenty, we find that
). during the fall term it was but Is per
cent: during the winter 16 per cent,
and during the spring term IL per cent
of the whole. These figures are based
on reports received from 10,019 out of
a total of 1881 rural districts.
But it is the inexperienced and in
adequately equipped teacher that Su-
perintendent Riggs considers the
strongest drawback to the present rur-
al school. Last year he says 3,47s GER
tif1oates were issued in Iowa to per-
sons who had never taught. Out of a
total Of 22,s45 certificates issued by
county superintendent, but 1921 were
first class certificates. His arraign-
ment of the conditions in rural schools
will leave little doubt Of their ineffi-
cient state in the minds Of those who
heard or may read his speech.
It is not to be taken for granted,
however. that rural teachers as class
are ignorant or utterly inefficient. Indeed
Superintendent Riggs found time to
acknowledge that many country
schools are superior to some Of the
graded schools and that every county
has few Of these schools, conducted
by excellent teachers. It is the lack
of system more than any other one
thing that is keeping the level of
country school work below what it
should be, and far below what it might
be. Good teachers naturally grayitate
to the better wages and system of the
graded schools. The best teachers do
not stay in the country. They grad
uate with experience into positions
that pay better and offer better OPP
portunity.
The inexperience and incompetence
in rural school work are due more than
any other causes to low wages and
nepotism, and the last Is not least. If
school consolidation will destroy the
custom Of hiring the incompetent
daughters, nieces and relatives Of sub
directors, it will have accomplished one
great reform in rural school work and
u it may establish a scale Of salaries
