sTRAUs As A "REcoGNIT1oN.n

The announcement of President
Roosevelt of his intention to appoint
oscar S Srtaus to a seat in the cabinet
as secretary of commerce and labor is
not exactly in accord with the doc
trine that only regulars in good party
standing are entitled to recognition.
Mr.. Straus is, or was recently a
Democrat. He held Office under Presi-
dent Cleveland and he has considerable
reputation as a man of ability and eff
ficiency. He belongs to the class of
Gold Democrats" who refused to vote
for Bryan and of whom many voted
for Mckinley and also Roosevelt.
1t is true that party lines are now
so loose that it is often pretty hard
to distinguish the substantial difference
between a Democrat of the Straus type
and a Republican, but the prospective
secretary of commerce and labor will
nevertheless be summoned into the
cabinet as a distinctive recognition of
considerable number of Democrats
not only in New York but throughout
the country.
The "straight-out' Republican who
uses President Roosevelt as authority
for the demand that voters shall stand
up for only the regular" ticket
through thick and thin does not ap-
pear to be entirely backed up by the
president Perhaps. however, Mr..
publican ticket enough in the past few
years to be now considered a Repub-
lican convert.-Philadelph Bulletin.

do for the children The bulletin de-
mands first a seven and then an eight
months minimum term. The minimum
salary is to be placed at $50. There
are in this state at present 1895
teachers and 550,121 pupils, an average
of thirty-three pupils TO each teacher.
Counting forty pupils TO the teacher a
force of 1880 would be sufficient in
the state The salaries now paid
these $500 extra teachers, amounting
to $1.50O,00O. could be divided among
the number of teachers necessary. thus
increasing the annual salary of each
teacher sos. AS an illustration. how
ever, according to Mr.. Cotton, that bet
ter salaries imply better preparation.
He says that after Jan. l. 1910, the
teachers might be divided into four
grades, with corresponding salaries.
Those in the first grade would have to
have an education equal to that Of a
commissioned high school graduate,
one years professional training and
hold a twelve months license. A
teacher of the second grade would
have to have two years professional
training and hold a twenty four
months license teacher of the third
grade would have to have three years
professional training and hold thirty
six months license. For the fourth
grade teacher would have to be col
lege graduate. have one year of pro-
fessional training and hold a thirty
six months license.

Gen. J. Franklin Bell, while at the

Leavenworth, was invited to a dinner
given in the cause of education. The
educators We're called upon and glori-
fed education. Then Gen. Bell said:
Il have been interested in what the
speakers preceding me have said about
education, and still ( think that our
way, in the west, not so much store is
set by it as here in the east. l am re-
minded of the story of the two boys in

playing poker in a doorway, using
kernels of corn for chips. During the
game one pushed in a bunch of kerr

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Oct. 27.-With total trans
actions for the two business hours Of
the half holiday session. less than three
hundred thousand, it is no wonder that
the market lapsed into extreme dull
ness and almost nfelessness. Early
trade in Reading and Union Pacific was
at fractionally lower prices than pre-
vailed at the close yesterday afternoon.
Reading was again the undoubted lead
er of the higher priced rails and al
most half of the days business was
confined to this issue. 1t sold down to
1894 from an opening around 1907
and later rallied to IA. The strength
displayed in Reading was very bene-
fetal to the balance of the list. st.
Paul scored an advance of one point for
the day and Copper was about one
point higher and the other active is
sues ranged from one-quarter to three
quarters in advance over yesterday.
The bank statement as a whole could
not be construed as favorable the de-
crease in the loan item of twenty mil
lions, however, shows conclusively that
the influential interests do not at pres
ent want any rampant bull market
The most conservative of operators and
brokers are advising their clients to
keep close to shore until after the cleo
ton. If they must trade, their opera
tions should be on a comparatively
small scale for the present at least
The close tonight on the few stocks
that showed any activity whatever is
rather firm with slight advances appar-
ent in one or two of the specialties.

but the trade was of a Saturday char
aeter Receipts of wheat in the north
west were lighter than last year. This
induced a little buying for speculative
account for traders with northwestern
connections Shorts also were fair buy
ers, but the advance for the day was
only one-quarter of cent higher than
yesterdays final prices. Liverpool mar
kets closed three-eighths higher for
the day. Cash situation remains about
the same as yesterday, very little
wheat being sold to exporters today.
The market closed steady to firm.
CORN = Strong and higher Bad
weather throughout the west and
southwest has induced considerable
short covering and in addition to this
demand for old corn continues very
good Premiums of from one-half to
one cent being obtained for the better
quality. The market closed firm, with
an advance of about three eighths fol-
the day.

A man who has much to do with rail-
roads in a business way told me of a
queer condition of affairs: You can
do nothing with them now unless they
consult their legal counsel. Since the
interstate commerce law has been en-
forced the average railroad man is
afraid Of his shadow Say to one,
This is fine morning, Billy and nine
chances out of ten he will say, Pos
sibly, but really I would not say so
positively until I saw Maxwell or Coils
ton, or some other lawyer well known
in railroad circles. And it would be
the same way il you asked him about
yesterdays weather. Yet they make
exceptions. If you ask one if he has
leisure to come out and take a drink
he will waive the advice of the coun-
sci and go along. But that's the ex-
ception which establishes the rule

keeping. Fred Swain is now trans

The job is a large one as a number OF
keepers of the records and seals have
had charge of the lodge at various
times and several different systems
have been adopted. The lodge was
organized in 1881 and the records OF
all the proceedings must be trans
ferred to the card system.
The new system of cards will be
worked by means of a lock and it will
be impossible to remove card with

Less Costly Motor Cars.

The Baltimore sun enters a strong
plea for a reduction in the price OF
automobiles concluding thus:
The reduction of the prices for these
machines in the same proportion that
the prices of bicycles were reduced
would cause a demand that would re-
Quire the erection OF factories all over
the country to satisfy. 1t would make
country life more attractive. It would
make better roads, and a general
scheme Of improvement would be in
augurated Wayside inns would grow

dotted the highways in the old stage

ing the movement OF crops and reduc
ing the prodigious cost of hauling owe,

New Light on Dairyinq.

In one Of the model schools of the
town frst-grade teacher was having
a lesson on cows" She was trying
to impress on the young minds the
various uses of the milk Butter
cheese, etc., had been disposed of, and
she wanted some bright genius to tel
how the farmer fed the surplus milk
to the pigs. Leading up to this, she
asked the question:
Now. children, after the farmer has
made all the butter and cheese he
needs, and uses what milk he wants
for his family, what does he do with
the milk that still remains?"
Dead silence followed for a mo
ment, and then one little hand waved
frantically. The teacher smiled and
said, We'll, James"

not supply it. Commission houses

BETTER TA., BETTER TrAoHERs.

In a bulletin Just issued to the teach
ers OF the state, Fassett A. Cotton, state
superintendent Of public instruction,
takes up the question Of Twentieth
Century schools and Teachers" in
which it is shown that the problem Of
living and Of getting anywhere will be
more difficult in years to come than in
the past. According to Mr.. Cotton the
schools OF today are not ready to meet
this problem In his bulletin the sit
uation is thus stated. The term is
short. the pay is poor and more often
than not the school officials and the
people themselves have very meagre
notions Of education and what it should
