THE PROMISE OF THE FUTURE.
TCedar Rapids Gazette.1

1t may be that conditions are no
worse than they have been, and that
the more numerous revelations OF raS-
cality are the direct result of the ele-
walton of few men of the right stamp
to office Whenever an active and up
right citizen has been chosen for place
there have been plenty of men to at
tack him for the purpose OF discredit-
ing his administration and preventing
the accomplishment of good plans.
Folk was bitterly opposed by those
who had trained with the democratic
party of Missouri; La Toilette was
fought in Wisconsin with all the
ferocity that the jobbers, aided by the
two United States senators and var
ious members of the congressional
delegation. could show. Cummins has
been fought in Iowa, and some Of his
opponents have been honest and con-
scientious men, but the nucleus of the
antagonism has been the group of men
who sought to control the state for
unworthy purposes.
There is one condition that promises
we'll for the future. The voters are
becoming quick to realize situation.

deceived once. and have been made to
understand that the deceit was prac-

their own best interests, they have
little confidence in the guilty man, or
agency. There never was time when
a public man needed to be more open
to the inspection of those about him,
and there never was time when the
proof of sincerity was more likely to
be asked. 1t is probable that graft

been abolished there will be wonder

THE NEW RURAL SCHOOL

The one who has not Kept IN close
to,,ch with the rural schools is apt to
think that they are as they were when,
as a barefooted farmers boy, he used
to attend with no higher ambition
than to learn to read and write, ana
indeed with but little respect for
more. This is an error. The. rural
schools with a few local exceptions
have kept pace with the city schools
and the improvements and general ad-
vancement is as marked. The rural
school teacher of today would have
been creditable college professor OF
Yesterday, and thus the world moves
on but never gets ahead OF the rural
districts To have attended the rural
graduating exercises west of town Fri
day would have been a revelation 10
many who have not kept pace with the
rapidly moving procession. These eX-
ercises empha sized at least three facts,
first that the people are taking more
commemorate interest in their schools;
second. that the rural pupil is IN no
way inferior to the pupils of the city
graded schools; and third, that the
rural teachers are in every respect
equal to the city teachers.
