SERVICE BRINGS REWARD.

In Georgia there is sheriff who did
his duty when a mob demanded col
pred prisoner for the purpose of put
ting him to death without trial. In
doing so he and his deputies killed sew
eral men and wounded others. For this
he failed of reelection. The best the
governor of the state could do for him
for the efficient service was to give
him a position that paid him about $50
a month. President Roosevelt heard
of the case through congressman and
promptly gave him position as Gus
prison in Atlanta, place carrying
with it double that salary The Pres
ident has watched his movements and
now writes to Attorney General Bona
parte that the man has done his work
well and asks if there is not a better
place for him.
In a case of this kind sheriff is ex-
Fected to do his full duty without hope
of reward, and doubtless Sheriff Mer-
rill did. Not only was he not reward
ed by the people of his county. but
punishment was inflicted upon him.
1t was probably this more than the
mere doing of duty that spurred the
President to the action he took and
proposes now to take. Fear of not be-
ing reelected is what holds back many
a public officer. 1t is true that the ma
jority rules at election, and people are
likely to be slow in criticism when
an officer follows out the will of the
majority. But the officer is not sworn
to enforce the law according to the die
tates of the majority of the county
that elects him, but to be diligent in
the execution of all law under which
he has authority He is elected not
to serve the majority of the people,
but to serve all the people, rich and
poor, black and white, weak and
strong.
This case comes to public notice
just at time when the President is
being criticised by the colored people
The immediate cause of their criticism,
Is the discharge of the colored troops.
The two instances show that the Frcs-
ident is determined to protect both the
black and the white. 1t is his desire
that offenders in neither race shall es-
cape punishment.

JAPANESE IN SCHOOLS.

In the report of his investigation of
the situation in California relative to
the Japanese attending the schools
with the white children Secretary Met.
calf throws clearer light upon the
subject than the public had before OBJ.
served. In submitting the detailed re.
port of the investigation President
Roosevelt puts forth his conclusions
in concise language and in a brief
message. He had dealt with the sub.
ject at considerable length, however
in his regular annual message to con-
gress.
1t appears that In the graded schools
of San Francisco there are ninety
three Japanese. This number is
scattered among twenty-three schools.
The most notable fact Is the variance
in ages between the foreign born Japa-
nese and the American children and
the native born Japanese in the same
grades. This. too is the most objec-
tionable feature. 1t may be observed
that the native born Japanese are Of
about the same age as the white chill
dren in the same grade.
The President suggests that the OBJ
jectionable point may be overcome by
fixing the age limits at which pupils
may enter grades, instead of making
race determinations. The result
would be that the older japanese chill
dren would be excluded from attend
ing classes with the younger white
children.
Of the ninety-three Japanese pupils
the greatest number in any one school
is the twenty-three in the Redding
primary. These range in ages from
to 13 years. The Pacific Height gram
mar school is next with nineteen pu-
pills and the remainder of the ninety
three are scattered throughout the
schools of San Francisco.
The President points out to con-
gress the impracticability Of the neces-
sity of compelling these pupils to all
come to one school when they reside
in all parts Of the city. The position
taken seems to be a reasonable one,
inasmuch as with the exception of the
two schools mentioned there is not to
exceed half dozen Japanese in any
of the graded schools.
While this government has directed
that action be taken to test the valid
ity of the law in California, the Pres
ident expresses it as his earnest hope
that extreme measures will not be ne
cessary; that the authorities in Cali
fornia will permit the Japanese chill
dren to take advantage Of the oppor-
tunities of education that this country
has to offer.

The Road Tax Stands.

The Supreme Court rendered last
week a unanimous decision in the
suit brought by the Cotton Belt
railroad to annul the ammendment
to the Constitution providing for
the road tax, in which the validity
of the amendment is sustained and
the contention of the railroad de
MED. The effect of the decision is
vastly important to the State, and
Will enable the counties to continue
their expenditures for the improve
ment of the public roads, which cx-
pendItures are now estimated al
about 100000 a year in the entire
State. In the Rice-Palmer case the
Court decided some weeks ago that
to receive a majority merely of the
votes cast for and against an
amendment was not sufficient for its
adoption, but that, according TO the
plain terms of the Constitution it
self, 1t must receive a majority of all
the votes cast in the election In
the case decided Monday, the Court,
still maintaining that principle,
found that the highest vote for any
State officer was the best proof now
Obtainable of the total vote cast;
and, as the road tax amendment re-
ceived more than a majority of that
vote, it was declared valid.
This decision renders voidahle the
POll-taX amendment, payment OF
which Is now a necessary qualifica-
ton for voting; and the amendment
giving the Governor power to fill all
vacancies in office by appointment
has already been annulled. The
next Legislature will undoubtedly re-
submit the poll-tax amendment
and this is the only amend
ment lost. under the readiust-
ment of the principles of the Constr
tion to the adoption of amendments
by the Supreme Court. which the
people will probably care to re-en-
act The amendments barring the
fraudulent debt of the State, creating
the railroad commission and au-
thOrizing the rOad-tax, stand

U. S. Geological Survey.

DR. f. o. UlrIch, of the I. s. Geo.
logical survey commenced at Spring
field, Mo this week a general CORE
latiOn and classification of the var
ious rock formations in the Ozark
mountains. The various formations
are determined as ID name and as
to their relation to the other forma-
tiOns above and below them. 1t has
been found by the United States sur
vev that MANY errors have been
made in the past by geologists in
the classification and correlation of
these formations and a large part
of the present survey work is to cor
rect these errors.
Another part of the work will deal
with the economic phases of the geo.
lOgy of the Ozarks- In this work
will be included study of
the conditions that lead to the find
ing of mineral in some formations
and the absence of the ore in the
same formation elsewhere. 1t is be
lieved that this phase of the work
will have practical results that will
be of great profit in the development
of the mining industry IN southern
Missouri and northern Arkansas.
The rules of the geological survey
are very stringent against the giving
out of interviews. and DR.. Ulrich re-
fused to make any very definite an
swer as to whether or not he thought
gold and silver were likely to be
found in the Ozarks
There Is always a chance for the
finding of gold and silver ores most
any place." Or. Ulrich said to an
anxious inquiry According to
present information. however, the
formations in the Ozarks are not
favorable to the finding of gold and
silver in paying quantities.
"a pyrite gold bearing vein has
been found in tlssure in northern
Arkansas There Is undoubtedly
some gold ore in the vein but it is of
a low grade and small quantity
The conditions under which this
vein is found are practically the same
as the conditions in southern Mis-
souri,, so that 1t is possible that SIM
liar ore bearing assures may be
found IN southern Missouri -

the things which may be seen in our

which will be gathered from summer
drinking will be ruined homes, brok-

graves and an undone eternity. |
