cad in Washlnnton.

From the 81. Louis Globe Democrat.
The Post Office department the De-
partment OF the Interior and the Agri-
cultural Department have, in success on,
been under IRE. The attack on the De-
partment of Agriculture has come
through the revelations of crooltedness
connected with the reports of the cotton
crop. An oficer of the Southern Cotton
Association recently charged that the re-
ports Of the Department OF Agriculture
always made the crop larger than the
final figures al the end Of the crop season
warranted. AS experience showed that
the opposite was generally the case. this
accusation attracted no attention al the
outset. Usually the Departments crop
figures have been below rather than
above the mark. This inquiry however,
which was started by these charges has
revealed crookedness in the Department
by some of the minor officials. whereby
the reports were given out in advance
TO Wall Street operators who were thus
enabled to make large sums in specuia-
tion.
All these revelations Of Irregularities
in several departments do not mean that
there Is more graft I'm the Government
to-day than in the past. The Govern
ment officials are more vigilant in tracing
out crime now when 1t is committed than
they We're formerly The press is more
active in detecting it and in pointing out
its extent and its enormity than 1t was
half a century ago or earlier. Wars al
ways incite graft. The Mexican War fur
nished a host OF tricksters who made
money dishonesty out Of contracts III s
story was repeated in the Civil War on
"a far bigger scale. The Spanish War
had like tale to tell For years after
ward wards demoralizing effects ON the
public service are SEEN We had no right
IN the present day 10 expect exemption
from the operation Of this rule But the
malefactors are being hunted down a.
little more vigorously than was done in
the past. Neither high station or wealth
win save any official who ransgresscs
to-day. The credit Of President Rpose-
veits administration depends, In u con-
siderable desree, ON the record for
honesty and efficiency by his subordinates
and he IS not likely TO overlook this

SELECTING TEACHERS.

A WRITER in one OF our contem-
y .Rorsries-in speaking of.the- ad-.
vance In the equipment Of the teach
ers OF the State, remarks:
1t is nov essential that practically
every teacher who applies for a po-
sition 10 direst the young Of the state
must have not only completed the fun
common school course In this state.
but must have either been graduated
from Delaware college or the VIII
mington Conference Academy. or have
spent year al some welI-equipped
normal school outside Of the state.
whose certificate he or she may hold
n this has become true. we went
70 ask what is the use of the superin-
tendents noidmg examinations and
Eraqting certificates? II the. qnaHh-
cations OF a person without a diploma
OF a certificate are not to count. why
further examine those holding di-
piomase We have long felt that the
system Of selecting teachers lacks
much Of the practical element We
are convinced that no business house
would follow such methods in selecting
its employees.
Long ago the. individuality Of pupils
was swallowed up in the system: they
are nos no more than certain units.
they are graded and labeled out Of
al semblanee of the independent and
self-eonsciors democrats they are In
our homes. Ano now the teachers
primes. mediums and cuiis. The d.
plona settles 1t.
Ny dear sir educator though YOU
be, you have not spoken the last word:
there is another thought coming to
you. Do you know that some Of the
greatest lawyers never attended law
school. but went into a law once from
the grammar school? Do you know
that na.any of the great preachers never
saw the inside OF divinity school. and
that thousands OF teachers who have
had the rare faculty OF impartine
knowledge never attended a normal
school or even school OF methods
Nav We are finding no fault with
the proposition that our teachers
must be educated. but education may
be -eifhT Intensive Or extensive. and

UTILIZING OLD FARMS
Winter Lambs Are a Paying Invest
ment Nowadays.

Some of the abandoned farms near
large cities are being converted into
picftable sheep farms, where winter
lambs enrich the land and command
fancy prices in the city market.
Old Principals of farming are fast
being revolutionized. The December
calf is as welcome now as that of May,
ard the January lamb. which in the
city market commands SO or even $50,
is certainly more profitable than that

+. n. Barker tells how a New York
farm is being rendered a money maker.
As it is hard for East TO compete with
Wesr in sheep, the plan of raising
llrcbs for the winer market, when the
grower can almost name his own price
changes the nature OF the proposition
entirely.
The Dorset breed was selected as the

Al seventy days the best are ready for

ones are ready.
