Bishop Gambler, of the NJ E. Church,
South, has been travelling and visiting
missions in the East. His letters in the
atlanta Journal are admirable reviews
of conditions as he finds them. He gives
strong and interesting account of the
progress Of Japan. The increase in ex-
ports and imports, in railroads, tele-
graphs, telephones, postal facilities, and
banks make marvellous story. In ed
ucation, an admirable system of public
schools throughout the empire, with kim
dergartens and graded schools is complet-
ed by two imperial universities, at
Tokyo and Kyoto. Then there are normal
and training schools, business colleges,
agricultural colleges, schools of the fine
arts, law and medicine, and schools for
the blind, deaf and dumb. He says:
Christian missionaries have had much
10 do with quickening educational senti-
ment. AT first nearly all the work of
educating girls was in their hands, and

The Rev. DR.. John w. Rosebro on Sun
day, October 18th, announced to the con-
gregation of the Fredericksburg Presby-
terrain church his purpose to resign his
pastoral charge. His duties as president
of the Fredericksburg College and pastor
of the church made double burden that
he found too heavy to BEAR and he
thought it best for his people and for
himself to make this change For more
than six years he has had this position,
winning the love of his people and the
esteem Of the community.

poses, there civilization reaches the highest point of develop
 ment. Imbued with the pro- gressive spirit of the times, the people of Arkansas are unwill- ing that their public school system shall be inferior to that
 of any other state. Under the constitution as 1t now stands, a five mill tax is all that the peo- pie of any school district are allowed to vote upon themselves for educational purposes, and this has been a great intolerance to the development of the pub lie schools throughout the State.
 The McFerrin Amendment is intended to remove this obstacle in the way of public reform, by
The Carlisle independent., 1906-03-01

permitting the people to vote a seven mill tax, wherever and whenever they see fit to do so. Farmers and townspeople of Arkansas, think this matter over seriously, talk about it to your neighbors, get a copy of this amendment and read it over carefully; stop up your ears and shut out the din made by the gatling guns of the cah- didates, long enough to give this subject thoughtful consid- eration; then when election day comes, whether you vote for this man or that, don't fail to vote for higher education, which means much towards the de- velopment of our common wealth.

HERO WORSHIP.

Are the American people giv- 'en to hero worshipi We'll, we rather think so. Look at the fuss and feathers made over the Lon9worth- Roosevelt wedding,
 newspapers and magazines throughout the length and breadth of the land taking up from one to a dozen pages in half tone cuts and minute de- scriptions of the two remarkable beings who performed:the extra ordinary feat of getting marri- ed. Why, indeed, do newspa- pers and magazines consume so much of their valuable space and make such a whirlwind of ado over two frail human be- lingsi Because they know that the public demands it and that 1t pays to cater to this public weakness. They know that nine-tenths of the people like to burden their noddles with the belief that the tails of the Arab nan Nights are not ancient myths, but are modern realities. And so in order to appease this demand for hero worship, the newspapers emblazon their pag- es with half-tone cuts of Nick Longworth and Alice Rooevelt,
 of old. One picture shows how MT. Longworth appears when
 he laughs, another when he smiles, another when he looks
 moderately serious, and still another when he means busi- ness. In like manner Miss Alice, of old, is pictured in va fious moods. One picture rep Tesents her as looking sweet,
 another as looking sweeter, and still another as looking sweet est. Yet, If the one represent
 mg her as sweetest is true likeness of Madam Longworth as she appeared before her nup- tial, then we must say that there
 are at least a score of girls right

 her good many odds and then come out winner Ill a beauty contest. But, of course, all this is in keeping with modern hero worship. The press of the country while holding MT. and Mrs. Longworth under the lime light for the public to gaze upon very considerably represent them as hero and heroine. MT. Longworth notwithstanding his bald head is reported to be a modern, Adonis. His brav- cry places him almost upon an equal footing with the famous warrior that captured Kettle Hill. Had he been ushered in- to the world in ancient instead of modern tunes, his valor would doubtless have caused him to out Trojan any Trojan that ever lived. We have never heard of him attacking a wind mill like Don QuiXote, nor of performing iiany Baron Mun- chausen feats, until he got married. Doubtless, however, Nick knew that windmills were not dangerous, especially to females. Being of a modest turn, he has doubtless kept many of his heroic achieve ments from the public, and so under the circumstances we are permitted to draw upon our inn agination to supply the defci- ency. His capture of sweet Alice was one of the most daring and remarkable undertakings ever accomplished by any mort al. Only think of 1t. Of the one billion bipeds of the mascu- line fraternity, only a very few could have even hoped to marry Alice, yet, Nick did 1t. In other words to be more exact about 1t, of the one billion one hund- red and sixteen million four hundred and thirty eight thous- and three hundred and nineteen male bipeds, he alone was prefer red. It was indeed a momentous achievement, and as might have been expected, his fame immediate ly began circling m great eddying typhoons round the world. The Cubans heard about it and were delighted at Nick's prowess. The Cuban congress said: ''Nick's a good un he's chip off'n the old block tha' aint many men as cud dun that. Let's give him a pres ent." And so they voted him $25,- 900 much in the same manner as they would have presented peace offering to a band of cannibals with whom they were anxious to make amicable terms. Many po tentates and crowned heads in the east, through their representatives presented gifts and congratulati- ons. and were lavish in their be- stowal of encomiums upon this young Lochinvar of the west, for his wonderful achievement in the capture of sweet Alice. And so the great whirlwind of advlation has spread until 1t seems to encom- pass the whole world. Fortunate ly for the rest of us poor mOrtals however. this momentous event ill the worlds history has passed off without any planetary or stellar mishaps. The earth has not been rent asunder, nor have any great and mighty thunders been started rolling. Gradually the ordinary affairs of life will resume their normal sway. The picture of sweet Alice as appear in the newspapers and periodicals of today will in time be lost to the public gaze, whilst Lydia E. Pinkham will be permitted to reassert her old time dignity and regain her time honor
