Consistency and Justice

1t is reported that President
Roosevelt will dea | firmly with
China. That is to say. in uudi.
plomatic language, he will
make China buy our goods.
Very well, but why not deal
firmly with Germanv? The Ger
mans are guilty of refusing to bry
our goods. Ineed, their offense is
worse than China s. since they
refuse officially. whila from
China comes only an unofficial
boycott.
But to dismiss mere consist
ency as a virture iucouvenien t
to a practical statesman, wba t
about the square deal? We ex-
clude the vast majority OF Chi
nese,from our country and those
whom we admit we bulley in
true customhouse style. No
otner country in the world ex-
cIudes the Chinese, and we have
never heard that they are treat
ed like savages when they seek
entrance to European ports.
It is we'll to be firm, it is best
to be just, Jnstic, indeed is
highly expedient, since while we
may intimidate the Mandarins
today, the chinese people may
try to give US tit for tat tomor.

A New Movement In Education

The State Board of Agriculture
in cooperation with the Agri-
culture College has just iuaug.
urated an educational campigu
which promises to work a rev.
olution in Missouri Agriculture
Lecturers are being sent TO the
country school house ia various
parts of the States to speak to
the children and parents upon
practical problems of farming.
Usually two lectures are given
at each place, one in the after
noon and one at night. In many
places, seventy five to a hun
derd farmers attend the meeting
often going miles over muddy
road. The funds in the hands of
the board are not sufficient to en-.
able it to send lecturers toevery
school house but the enthusiasm
with which the famers receive
the instruction leads to t he be-
lief that Missouri is beginning
a new era in agricultural educa-
ton.

The crtziest sort of foolish
ness that we know anything
about is this modern method of
having little tots spell and give
the diacritical making of words
they spell, naming the letters
in a word, and following it up
with jargon of suspended bar,
cedilla, tilda, breve, macron,
etc. To advanced pupils these
characters, perhaps, mean some
thing, but t. little tots it is
merely a memory drill. How
much more profitable it would
be to use the time thus squander-
ed, sin teaching the pupils the
meaning and use of the words in
the spelling lesson There is
the plth of sense in the method
of having the pupil spell the
word, pronounce it correctllv,
define it and then use it correct
ly, IN sentence, but to have the
pnp'i follow up the naming
of the letter with few gruuts
and the cedilla, suspended bar
CAB fest is little short of the
ridiculous The truth is that in
these latter days we have gone
daffy after the new methods and
strange educational gods, until
the town schools of to-day do de

CABINET OFFICERS
resign IN CUBA

Havana, Sept. 26.-It is declared on
veyr high authority that American in
PREVENTION in Cuba is certain. Fur
thermore, it is expected that the proc.
lamation of Intervention will be issued
from Oyster Bay. All the members of
the cabinet and the heads Of depart
ments have presented their designations
to President Palma. He has accepted
them, but the officers will retain their
positions until the resignation of the
president has been presented to con-
gress. Senator O'Fairell, secretary of
state and Justice, says there would pro-
badly be government by commission
appointed by the American govern
ment. He mentioned Senior Barrier,
chief justice of the supreme court. and
General Mario Menocal as possible
commissioners Plans for the transfer
of troops from the United States to
Cuba in the event of the failure of Seq
retsry Taft's mission to bring about
peaceful solution of the trouble in the
island republic have been completed.
President Palma has called a special
session of congress for Friday, when he
will present the resignation of himself
and Vice President Mendez Capote.
The moderates, however, will not at
tend that session of congress, for in
their hurriedly called moderate assem-
bly, Tuesday. afternoon, they decided
unanimously to quit forthwith. They
will not even attend the approaching
session or have anything more to do
with the government of Cuba, alleging
that they have been unjustly treated
by President Roosevelt's commission
ers. This determination is taken by
Messrs. Taft and Bacon to mean that
the moderate leaders, finding they can
not control the situation themselves,
are determined that the liberals shall
not obtain control.
