1t IS announced that the Hon.
Thomas w. Fleming, a retired car
italist of Fairmont, now residing in
New York City, has been groomed
and trotted out by the Reese Biz
zard and Charley Elliott gang of
political grafters, to enter the race
for the seat in the American House
Of Lords, now held by Uncle Nathan
Bay Scott. Fleming is a good bus
mess man and has considerable
ability, but he has no show whatever
Of getting the place. 1t is simply a
scheme to scare Scott into spending
some more money among the boys
who want little of the elixer of
political life injected into the con
test before the Legislature. Elem.
ing is one of the heaviest stock
holders in the Fairmont Coal Com
pany.

To "A-Republican. who always
votes-it-straight": Our latest in
formation is that the Jim Committee,
which subscnbes to your doctrine
of "voting it straight" has not as
yet Endorsed the application of Rev.
Abraham Title for the Kingwood
post Office. The friends of Rev.
Title, however, claim that the lin
Committee Will not only indorse the
application Of Rev. Title but that
they will use their personal influence
with Congressman Dayton, an innu-
ence which is far reaching, as was
demonstrated in the Newburg and
Iunnelton appointments. The Jim
Committee and the Congressman are
closely allied in the distribution Of
the post office pies We would not
advise you 20 dedicate a few poetic
lines to the Jim Committee and the
Congressman until the appointment
is announced

A SURPRISE.

There is a surprise in store for the
farmers and small taxpayers of West
Virginia The crying need for a
new tax law in West Virginia is
gradually oozing out. The millions
OF So called"Virginia bonds" which
are held by the leading Republican
politicians Of our State, are to play
an important part in the new tax
laws which were passed at the spec
ial session Of the Legislature. 1t
was necessary TO raise 4 large reve-
nue. in order to pay the "Virginia
bonds and make few millionaire
Republican politicians. This is the
"nigger in the wood pile" that is
responsible for having everything
the farmer and small property hol.
der has TO be assessed at It's ntrue
and actual value" When the Re
publican Legislature passes a law
acknowledging the Virginia bonds"
our Republican farmers and other
small taxpayers will realize what il
costs to vote for the party that
"does things" We warned them
during The campaign that the new
tax laws were not in the interest Of
The poorman But they were cock
sure they could Crust the party"
The Trusts seem 20 have control Of
the party q, The present time.

EDUCATIONAL RALLY AT GREENSBORO,

Salisbury to be Represented at this Meet
ing Of Primary Teachers.
At Greensboro next week will
be held a State teachers conven-
ton, to begin on the Goth and end
on the 28th.
All the primary schools in the
State, it is supposed, will be rep
resented, and this body will be
composed almost entirely of lady
teachers.
The Salisbury delegation is four
in number, and is composed of
Mrs. Johnston and Misses Till
man, Edna McCubbins, Sadie Da-
Wis and Annie Kizer.
Mrs. Johnston has selected for
discussion First Steps in Read
ing" and Miss Tillman will read
a paper on "School G%ardens."
1t should be productive of much
qualification and real pleasure to
every inhabltant of North Caro-
lima to witness the efforts being
made by Jul educators to improve
u public schools and advance
the cause of education all along
the line. And we hope also to see
an increase in the number of pub
lie high schools in the State i'll the
near future; aud while in some of
the Western States certain people
are advocating their abolition, on
the ground that they interfere
with the colleges, and that all
who ought to enjoy higher educa-
tion than is afforded by the COM
mon graded schools a get it in
the colleges, let our educators con-
tinue to move on the upgrade to-
ward the highest attainable edu-
cation for all.

party in 1905. At the ST. Louis con-
vention of 1904 he was commanding
figure. The sOrdid and vulgar stamp
of politics represented by Hill, Bel
mont, Murphy and Cochran was alien
to everything for which Bryan stood.
BRYAN fought Parker and the things
which Parker typified in the conven-
ton, and though he was defeated IN
that body he was overwhelmingly vim
dicated at the polls. Undoubtedly he
is correct in saying that the radical
democracy will run the party in 1905
1t is entirely safe to pre-
dict that under the leadership which
the democracy will have in that year
it will make a far more respectable
canvass than it did last year. =
\ Under the leadership of intrepid,
honest and capable man like Bryan
the democracy of 1908 will be likely to
put up fight which will compel the
republican party to make a strong
ticket in order to maintain control OF
the Government.

to the teachers who applied for them
"Sman cabinets were made, in which
were placed collections of stuffed
birds, mollusks, insects, sponges,
corals, crabs, star fishes, minerals
and native woods.
Natural History in the Schools
"There were eight kinds of cabinets
in all, and each school got one for
three weeks at a time. They have
been circulated in the year through $50
schools, and the specimens have been
seen and handled by about 100000 pu-
pills. The result has been an increased
interest in nature study.
eve have had a course of lectures
for teachers and the attendance of
school children at the museum has
risen from 5000 year to $4,000 The
most popular of the collections have
been those of the stuffed birds, of
which there are ninety boxes.
CDR. Bumpus has received many
letters from public school pupils tell
ing of their appreciation of the collec-
tions. Here is one from an east side
girl, who says she thinks the blue jay
is pretty, but she likes the English
sparrow best of all because it was the
only bird she had ever seen alive.
The stuffed birds are taken from the
cases and handed about the class
room.
soften the teacher has to make
descent to rescue some of the birds,
for the children will press the birds
upon their breasts and stroke their
plumage for half an hour at time.
"a principal in a school in the
lower part of the city kept an unrully
class for whom he had no teacher still
for more than hour by letting them
look at some of the bird cases which
he had received.
''The children have been induced to
make excursions to Coney Island
whence they return laden with sand,
clam shells and seaweed."

Astonishing cases of ignorance,
not only of nature but of their own
environment, on the part of the school
children of New York, have come to
light as the result of joint labors of
the American Museum of Natural
History and the board of education.
Thousands of the pupils have never
wandered more than three or four
blocks from the street in which they
were born, and the book of nature is
practically sealed to them. The only
animals they ever have seen are
horses, dogs and cats; the only bird
with which they are familiar is the
English sparrow.
Chow many children on the east side
have ever seen a COW, for instance?'
asked George Fl. Sherwood of the mu-
scum. II venture to say there are
thousands and thousands of them
The question was asked of class of
sixty the other day. Only one boy
raised his hand.
Well, how big is cow?" so
big, was his reply, spreading his
hands to a width which would indicate
the length of dog. Did you ever see
one?' he was asked. ooh, sure, was
the reply. 1 saw it in the window of a
dairy-a picture of it, "
Answers such as that, it is argued,
show the futility of trying to teach
anything in the way of natural science
by pictures or photographs.
Never Get Far From Home.
1t would be thought, for instance,
that pupils might 90 to the parks to
observe the ways of birds and animals.
There are many east side children
who have never seen Third avenue, a
a street which is less than three-quar-
tiers of a mile from school in which
the inquiries were made.
DR.. Bumpus, director of the museum
recently instituted a series of lectures
for school children. They were
brought to the lecture hall of the mu-
scum. Hundreds of them never in all
their lives had been on the elevated
railroad and often in one class there
were five or six children who were i'll
after their journey.
Mr.. Sherwood is now engaged in the
preparation of his annual report in
connection Of his work of bringing
the museum in touch with common
schools.
MANY of the teachers, he said,
ga year or so ago wrote to Dr..
Bumpus asking him to give them
few specimens for use in their nature
talks. which are now required. The
director gave orders that small col
lections should be made up and lent

ROOSEvELT'S BAD BREAK
DESERVES CENSURE FOR SHIELD
ING LOOMS AND MORTON.
Democrats and Republicans Think
He Has Seriously Weakened
His Power for Good.

A Washington dispatch says: In
the opinion not only of democrats but
of many prominent republicans as
we'll, President Roosevelt has made
the blunder of his admin istration by
his refusal to permit the secretary of
the navy, Paul Morton, to be prose-
cuted for his share in the responsible
ity for granting of rebates by the
Santa Fe road, of which Morton was
vice president in charge of freight
traffic, in violation not only of the
law but also of an express Injunction
of the court. AS a result of the presi-
dents refusal Judson Harmon, who
sat in Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet at the
same table as Paul Morton's father,
and Frederick Judson, who together
were retained as special counsel to
prosecute the case of the government
against the Santa Fe, have resigned,
and the president has been compelled
to make public the correspondence
connected with the case, which he does
with great gusto and with the appar-
ent conviction that he is entirely In
the right, but with what competent
judges declare to be an aggregation
of the most specious arguments which
were ever presented by high official
of the government.
In the estimation of prominent dem
ocrats and many leading republicans
the president has seriously weakened
if not destroyed his power for good.
He has established the dangerous pre-
cedent that where corporations are
caught in fragrant violations of the
law the officers responsible for such
violations are not to be prosecuted,
but the corporations themselves. OF
course this is farcial, as it merely
means the infection of a fine on the
corporations, when they are found
out, and a fine of such small proper
tions as to act in no way as a de-
terment from repetition of the crime.
With no disgrace following the perpe-
tration of such Illegal practices the
officials will naturally regard it as
their duty to their stockholders to dis
regard the law whenever they believe
they are safe from detection.
The president is also bound to be
severely censured for the extent which
he has attempted to shield his friend,
Assistant Secretary Loomis, whose
conduct in Venezuela, as exposed bv
Minister Bowen, while not proven to
be dishonest, is shown to have been
permeated with that cardinal sin of
diplomacy indiscretion.
