grow weary, which is impossible,
of paying interest on the School
Fund bonds they can at any time
be paid off and cancelled and the
proceeds put into some other in
vestment for the fund. They could
not be put into any better invest
ment than the States own bonds ;
they could not well be put into a
worse investment than Govern
ment bonds on which the interest
has sunk to 2 per cent, and which
still sell at premium.
But there are Bourbon Repub-
lican wiseacres of finance who keep
on yelling that the School Fund
would be better off if it had kept
its Government bonds. Let them
alone. There is scriptural au-
thority for saying that you may
bray a fool in a mortar, and yet
will not his folly depart from him.

Bryan and Graft.

Mr.. James F. Barry's San Fran
cisco Star gives prominence in a
recent issue to a sharp article in
the Johnstown, Pa, Democrat, in
which attention is called to the
fact that in all the scandal of high
finance, not a single "Bryanite"
has been implicated. None OF the
bank wreckers of the Walsh type
has been identified with Mr.. Bryan
or his cause. In fact, Walsh, who
had been Democrat up to 1896,
swung his paper, the Chicago
Chronicle, to the, support OF Nc
Kinley. Every insurance scound-
rel that has thus far been placed
in the pillory and exposed was a
society savior in 1896 and 1900. 1t
was one of the most powerful anti
Bryan arguments that his policies
would imperil the policies of the
y-holders in the great insur-
ance companies, and the great
benign heads of those companies
were solemnly quoted as con-
templating with aching hearts the
possibility of any Bryanite attack
on the money Of the widows and
orphans. All the rebaters were of
the same kidney. The thieves and
wreckers and defaulters, in every
instance, were the vociferous de-
tenders of the "national honor
in those great struggles. Not a
single man caught in the meshes
or exposed in the lime light was a
''free silver crank" or a member
of the dangerous class" that
nominated and supported the Ne
braskan. 1t is only truth to history
to add that wherever any of the
most important of the recent great
reform works were undertaken
professed Bryanites were we'll te
the front in the movement fol
betterment. Bryan's candidacy
was the first great threat agains
graft. And Roosevelt's Academia
accession to the Presidency hap.
pened just at the time that the vic
torious opponents of Bryanisn
were "framing up" for their fruits
Of victory. The same people wht
believed Bryan anarchial, believed
that Roosevelt was erratic. Bryan
was the inspiration of the anti
graft movement. History will s.
proclaim him, but without rob
bing Roosevelt of his due. Isl

Contrasts in Missouri Finance.

There surely is not financial
institution in America knowing
enough to keep out of bankruptcy
that would have in it's service a
man who believes that it is good
financial policy to sell valuable
and improving property for less
than its present market value, and
bad policy to convert interest,
high-priced securities into high
interest. low-priced securities
equally as safe as investment prop
erty.
And yet this is exactly the atti-
tude of the chumps who defend the
sale, for trifling sums, by the Re-
publicans, while in power in Mis-
Souri,, of the States large railroaS
interests, while attacking the sale
by the Democrats of Government
bonds in the School Fund, the
proceeds being used to purchase
outstanding bonds of the State fol
the same fund.
The sale of the railroad prop
critics left the State saddled with a
heavy debt Offset by no assets ex-
cept its taxing power; while the
conversion Of Government bonds
into State bonds was made at q
profit and gives a larger revenue
to the educational fund secured by
the same taxing power.
In Missouri and the Middle
West, at least, which are domi-
mated by the controlling passion
for education" it is recognized
that the taxing power is the safes,
endowment for the public schools,
seminaries and universities; and
there is no State in which it is moi
the principal endowment Of these
institutions.

Decline To WITHDRAW
SPECIAL PORTLAND RATE

Seattle, May 22.-J. &. Woodwork.
traffic manager of the Northern Pa.
cific has replied to the telegram sent
him by j. S. Goldsmith, of the com.
mittee of local jobbers and manufac.
turers, declining to withdraw the -.
cent local rate recently allowed ia
Portland merchants on shipments ia
Seattle designed for Alaska trade.
The result will be. says Mr.. Gold
smith, fight by the Seattle business
men for similar rate from points in
the state like distance from Seattle,
to this city.
Mr.. Woodworth's telegram, received
by Mr.. Goldsmith, follows:
Referring to message of your com
mittee dated the 18th, we have tried
consistently to establish and maintain
pleasant relations with Seattle shippers
and would greatly deplore anything
which might change that policy, but
we cannot withdraw proportional rats
Oh Portland Alaska business and we
do not feel that we should be criti-
cised for making it.
"We are directly interested in
through business to Alaska, and indi-
rectly in the larger local Alaska bust
ness now handled at Tacoma and Seat
tie; therefore we followed very closely
the movement to establish direct Port
land Alaska service, and when con.
WINGED that our refusal to restore pro-
portional rate would result in estab-
lishment of same, agreed to make the
rate, and still believe our action nee
essary for protection of our own inter-
ests and interests Of Seattle and Taco
ma merchants, direct service from
Portland being equally disadvantageous
to all of us. am sure our position is
right. Hope you will not discount
anything we have said without careful
and that no hasty nor
unfair action will be taken by Seattle
interests"
A meeting of the new Seattle freight
bureau is to be held before the end of
the week, at which steps will be taken
to place the matter before the railroad
commission. The bureau will ask that
Il rate similar to that granted from
Portland to Seattle be granted on ship
ments here from points in this state at
Il distance equal to that from Portland.
