THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

When the founders of the Republic
established a system of free educa-
ton they laid the corner stone of our
whole system of government Re
publican institutions presupposed a
fair degree of intelligence and en-
lightenment among the people. other
wise they could not exist. There are
several reasons why the first French
republic did not endure, but sur
ficient one of these is the fact that
the French people were not edu-
Gated well enough to govern thenl-
selves when they had the opportun-
itv. A republic would be an impos-
sibility in Russia today for the same
reason. After the war of 1871 Won
Moltke declared that it was the Prus-
sian schoolmaster that conquered
France. and to a very great extent
this observation is true. Evidently
the French authorities believed H.
for they Immediately set about re
deemfng the people through the med
ium of the public school
without its splendid public school
system the United States would long
since have become a dismal failure
as a self-governing nation. Ihe same
agency is largely responsible Tor the
making of the British one oil the lIee-
est and best governments ior tng
people in the world Both Germany
and Japan have lavished infinite care
and vast sums of money on theiI

S25.OOO WEDDING FEE PAID
BY MARSHAL FIELD.

London, Sept7.-Widowed since
November 18th last year, Mrs. Arthur
j. Cation yesterday became the bride
OF the second richest merchant in
the worl1. Marshal Field of Chicago.
BY reason of the strict directions Civ
en- by the wealthy bridegroom that
| there should be no display, and that
lhe chapel should be reserved, so
none but the bridal party. which con-
sisted Of . few, might enter. the i'm
posing adjunct to the great cathed-
raj seemed bare of humanity.
Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid and other members of the
American embassy, including Ridglev
Carter, with Mrs. Bentley, the daught-
er of the bridegroom, whose hus-
band is Captain Bently of the Roval
Guards; Spencer Eddy, Watson Blair
and John Clark of Chicago were the
more conspicuous members of the
congratulatory party. They left
Clartdges this afternoon for the fam
ous chapel, where the ceremony was
TO be performed. II was not a Fifth
avenue affair. and here London had
abundant opportunity to teach the
New York populace manners with di-
rect reference to the union of British
nobility with American millions
There was no crush at Westminster.
The guards had little to do The few
who composed the curious throng
looked idly on, and when the bridal
party arrived from Claridges gently
fell back and the unobtrusive party
passed in unmolested.
There, in the shadow of the fam
Gus abbey founded by Edward the
Confessor, the contracting parties
were standing Immediately over the
grave of Sir Walter Raleigh when
they We're pronounced man and wife.
The words sealed one of the most
notable social conquests in American
history and practically settled the
fate of one of the greatest estates
on the American continent.
As the bride and groom and their
mutual friends departed Canon Hen
son was observed to smile In his
land he held something that had
familiar crinlle. a look is said to
have disclosed his possession of five
1000 pound Bank of England notes.
representing $4,000 in American
money, the largest wedding fee, it
is said ever received by rector.
Neither Mr. Field nor his bride knew
that the grave of Raleigh was be
meath the abbey.

Big Poker Game

New York, Sept7.-Stories of one
OF the biggest transatlantic poker
games played since the days of the
Great Western are told by the pas-
sengers on the North German Iiovd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. on its
arrival today from Bremen. Accord
ing to the rumors which eddied
around the ship during the trip. an
almost continuous session took placc
behind the locked doors of certain
state room. during which several
hundred thousand dollars changed
hands.
There was no danger of any of the
men engaged ''welching" for around
the table were certain set of finan-
ciers, representing between $500
100000 and $500, 100000.
The ante was placed at $50 during
the first part of the trip, according
TO an acquaintance of one of the men
playing, out after couple of DAYS
this was voted too low and was doubl-
ed. No one purchased less than
$4,000 worth of chips az a time. and
the limit of the betting was repre-
sented by the state room ceiling.
The third day out it was general
ly known that the game was going
on and the infrequent appearance on
the deck of the men whose names
were coupled with the rumor was re-
garded as corroboration Il is said
that one of the group lost steadily
from the start. and that, at the final
game, which lasted until late last
night, he left the Sable more than
100000 loser. This could not be con-
firmed. as each of the men supposed
to have played refused to say any
thing about the game.
According to a passenger who is
personally acquainted with the par
ticipants in the great American
game, the players were Henry c.
Flick, George Westinghouse, p. A. b.

confidence in Mr.. Roosevelt that
some profess to have, we have
never admired him as a great
statesman but have doubled his
future as we were disguised with
a part of his past. Yet we be-
lieve in giving approval when
sufficient cause exists and believe
it the duty of every American
citizen to as readily accept good
from his administration as if
coming from the strongest Dem
ocratic source. The President
has placed his disapproval on an
attempt to reduce Southern rep
resentation, to which his party
associates and himself were
pledged in platform to reduce. In
the making of the platform the
Republicans were playing poll
tics, in the execution of that
platform Mr.. Roosevelt is doing
the act of a statesman. There
are other tendencies of the Pres
dent to go for the country, rather
than the narrow confines of his
party, and if he accomplishes
good for the country, especially
the Sunny South, why not accept
it with gratitude?

1t now looks like that Congress
will obey the demands of the
President in passing a law that
will place the regulation of rail-
road freight rates under the con-
troll Of the Government. This is
to be accomplished through the
Inter State Commerce Commits
sion. The inequalities now ex-
listing in rates, the discrimina-
tons practiced between large and
small shippers and between i'm
portant commercial centers and
the small stations, would posi-
bly, be shattered. At any rate
the effort seems to be a move in
the direction of common interests
rath than special and comes
within the Bryan theory and
Democratic doctrine as old as
this Government. The people
should, through Federal and State
Governments, protect themselves
against the entertainments of
powerful corporate combinations.
Railroads are essential to devel-
,opment, to the welfare of com
merce, to the life of business,
but they should be made to g We
impartial and just rate of charg.
es. It is to be hoped that the
power f corporate interests will
prove Intellectual in preventing
judicious legislations on this line.

Inc real worth OF water WORKS
is of so much Importance to the
welfare and growth of Columbia,
that it is hard for the News to
keep within reasonable limits in
it's advocacy of such a blessing.
Columbia has entered into a sub
stantial growth, in population and
business, but this was not accom-
plished by any defined plan or in
ducements that resulted from
special efforts of our people to
make the town grow, for no such
efforts have been made. The en-
terprising spirit Of Columbians
received it's greatest encourage
ment in the establishing of the
Lindsay-Wilson School, which has
already demonstrated its great
worth to this community. Many
worthy citizens have come to Co
lumbia, bought and built houses.
Every one is we'll pleased and
doing we'll and others are coming,
but the time will come when this
will cease unless substantial i'm
provements and conveniences are
secured. In the limits of reason
able expenditure and effort there
is no Improvement of so. much
worth to our town as a good
system of water. The water, in
great abundance, is at our door,
it skirts the town on both sides,
yet the property of the town is in
the grasp Of almost unbearable
insurance rates, with no other
protection from fire. The health
giving properties of an ample
supply of pure water, the conven-
fences secured from such a supply,
under good pressure, in the kit
chen and bath rooms alone ought
to stir our people to action in
this matter. But hundreds of
dollars would be saved annually
in insurance rates and place us in
a position to fight successfully an
ordinary fire which is liable to
occur in any home or business
house at any time. The town
could put in a good plant if will
ing to bond it's self, or a company
of our townsmen could do this,
and share the profits which would
result under judicious manage
ment. AS to bonding the town
we do not believe that it could be
accomplished, even if the figures
would show it, beyond a doubt,
profitable, for the people are op-
posed to public debt, so the only
avenue seems to be for a stock
company to build and operate it.
It would not only be good for the
town but yield a good dividend
for it's stock holders, and would
get better all the while. Within
one year water could be placed in
100 homes at 5000 per annum.
The town, Of course, would pay
for sufficient water plugs to pro-
tect against fire and a few hun
dred dollars could be secured
from the sale of water for power.
The News would set aside it's en-
CINE and put in a water motor
and quite a number of enterpris-
es would be glad to buy power.
