SUPPLEMENT
INCOME and OFFICE.

ID his speech Friday before
the National Educational Associa-
tion President Roosevelt said
some things that illustrated at
once his sturdy optimism and high
ideal of public service. Though
the reference to a recent event
was put in the vaguest terms,
there can be no question but that
he had Mr.. Wallace in mind when
he eulogized ex-Secretary Hay
and Secretary Root, the dead and
the living, for the exhibition Of a
quality which the first-named gem
-tleman has shown himself to lack
most IamentabIy. 1t is Mr.. Wal
lace's misfortune that his action
was destined to be seen so soon in
contrast with one apparently die
tated by totally different motives.
In truth, at this particular time,
any assertion of the need of high
ideals of public service, of the
duty of personal sacrifice to a
greater or less degree, if by it
the nations interest may best be
subseryed, any emphasis of the
value of public ,honors for public
duty well performed, as distin-
guished from strict pecuniary
compensation, naturally seems a
criticism Of the gentleman who SO
distinguished himself by the as
sertion Of a wholly different stand-
ard.
Mr.. Roosevelt stated, which can
hardly be questioned. that Mr..
Root accepted the position of Sec
retarY of State at his urgent re
quest and at great pecuniary
sacrifice. j knew that whatever
other considerations he had to
weigh for or against taking the
position, the consideration of how
it would affect his personal for
tune would not be taken into ac-
count by Elihu Root This is
high praise for any man, though
not SO high as the praise once be-
slowed onsthe same person by the
President. However, it is not
necessary for us to accept unre-
serYedIy the Presidential lauda-
tion to become convinced that,
whatever other motives might
have swayed Mr.. Root, he was

certainly free from measuring the
opportunity BIZ the strict money
standard. ii seems to be accept
ed in New York that he will try
to be President. Even if that is
true, it is in no wise to. his dis
credit. To be President is an.
honorable ambition for any one to-
entertain, though from the stand
point of the money mad" it is.
not SO desirable as many other po-
sitions that might ke mentioned ia
this country and Europe; no more
desirable than the place of head
master at Eton. For men to
cherish ambition to win honor in
the public service is healthy
sign. For them to measure the
value Of great position by the
mere salary it pays is proof Of
low ideals and means inefficiencyI
in the discharge Of its duties. II
is impossible for the average
American to persuade himself
that the conception of Office hold
ing as a mere business is a suffi-
GENTLY elevated one in republic.
We see the results Of that ideal
on SO many sides, in Philadelphia
and other cities, in State and ma
tional government, that we are
fain to demand something in the
way of appreciation of public
honor, of devotion to public SER
vice from motives at least partial
Ii patriotic, as a necessary consti-
tuent of the decent type of public
servant in great position.
We hear so much these days to
the effect that the government,
because of the smalIness of its sal
aries, can no longer command the
highest talent. But there is real
Iy nothing in the plant. In the

THANKS TO SUPT. WHITFIELD.
Resolutions Adopted by the Teachers
Of Columbus Normal.

Of Columbus Normal.
We believe the object of educa-
Ition is the training of the youth
in such a way that he may be able
to take his place as a positive fac
tor in the performance of duties
which deyolye upon a citizen of
the State; and,
We believe that our esteemed
State Superintendent, Hon. III. L.
Whitfield, recognizing this fact,
and feeling that the destiny of the
State is largely in the hands Of
the teachers, has established this
normal for Primary and Interme-
diate teachers, in order that they
may have an opportunity to fit
themselves better for this respon-
IsibiIity.
We, the teachers of the State
attending said normal in Cofum-
bus, Miss, believe that this is a
wise step taken by our State Su-
perintendent in thus bringing us
into close, personal and sympa-
thetic contact with teachers from
the leading schools and universi-
ties, who have brought into our
midst at nominal cost, to us, the
best educational methods of the.
lday; and,
We believe the good received
| will be felt throughout the State;
therefore be it resolved

cational campaign and ask that

ket started off with some animation
& and brisk advances were scored pref
&ty generally. But the start proved
a false one. like that of the first week
