Chile Wants Public Schools.
From Leslie's Weekly.


A hopeful sign of the growth of enlight-
ened sentiment in. the republic of Chile was
afforded in the recent remarkable demon
.stration at Santiago, in honor of Senior
Reyeram, the Chilean minister of public
education. and the members of the Chilean
Legislature who have successfully repealed
an attack upon the states ant.-sec arian
educational system. Thousands of people,
inelnding many senators, deputies. students
and workingmen. took part in the demon
stration. which concluded with speeches by
prominent men in favor of liberal edueat
and the passage of resolutions indorsing the
governments course, The American public
school system, with it's enforcement from
sectarian influence, WAS held up as model
All this Is specially interesting at time
when the free public school system of the
United States is being subjected to a fresh
attack all along the line. The friends and
supporters of national development and
progress in Chile are moving in the right
direction when they stand for the mainte-
nance of a free and non sectarian school
system.

Chicago has today one of the fastest and

number of fires extinguished. The records
for 1904 show the actual loss on property

In his address DIR. Trudaau who has won
a national reputation by his work against
the disease in the Adirondacks, referred to
the scattered efforts Of the medical profess

a plan should be devised by which each

Doctrine.

One of the most effective instruments
for peace is the Monroe Doctrine as 1t
has been and is being gradually devel-
oped by this Nation and accepted by
other nations. No other policy could
have been as efficient in promoting
peace in the Western Hemisphere and
in giving TO each nation thereon the
chance to develop along its own lines.
IL we had refused to apply the Doc
trine to changing conditions it would
now be completely outworn. would not
meet any of the needs of the present
day. and indeed would probably by
this time have sunk into complete OBJ

cause we have adapted Dur application
of it to meet the growing n chang

we announce a policy. such as the
Monroe Dictrine. we thereby commit
ourselves to the consequences OF the
policy. and those consequences from
time to time alter. It is out OF the
question TO claim a right and vet shirk

When the same process has been car

Deneen Will have a machine that may
enable him to have something TO say
about whether Senator Cullom shall
hold on TO his seat after 1907. q
The governor is credited with an
ambition to relieve Mr. Cullom and in
the present condition of the republican
politics in Illinois a machine is a nee
essary part of the equipment of any
politician who thinks he feels call
TO serve his state in the senate at
Washington.
Senator Cullom's federal machine
has suffered some serious losses of
late. and Deneen may be encouraged
TO hope that il may be run over and
smashed by powerful state machine
of his own building. At any rate, the
thoroughness of his work in Lincoln
indicates that he means to have the
machine If he puts it hard into col
lision with Cullom's the splinters of
Illinois republicanism will fly in a way
that will be sight 10 see.
