THE SPELLING o

Professor Brander Matthews and
his simplifed spelling board are going
to cause trouble with their spelling re-
form plan, and if they succeed In hav-
ing their ideas adopted partially,
which is all they a hope for. the
English language will be worse con-
founded than it has ever been before
by the time they have done all they
can.
The truth about this spelling reform
agitation is that it must come slowly
if at all. 1t cannot be brought about
by a crusade such as the board headed
by MI. Matthews purposes inaugural
ing. 1t cannot come like a tidal wave.
1t must be brought about gradually.
There are several words in the I'm
guage that have beensa hortened and
simplifed and there are others whose
more simple form is the more popular
and custom is simplifying the language
as fast as possible. The men who
compose the board in charge Of the
campaign for simplifed spelling are
men Of wisdom but their present move
shows that they are not close to the
pulse Of the people and do not know
what the great bulk of pe1syle want.
They doubtless are closely in touch
with the educational circles but they
seem to overlook the fact that the in
fluence those forces can WELD upon
business life, where the spelling
changes must be made if made at all,
is small.

Teachers Institute Closes.

Marengo, April 2.-The Iowa County
Teachers institute closed here Satur-
day, ending one of the most success
full sessions eve held in the county
In point of attendance 1t exceeded any
previous year. The enrolment and
actual attendance Reached EOS, ex-
ceeding by twenty any former record
Supt. Fl. T. Ports attributes the in
crease to the favorable season OF the
year, as many teachers attend sum
mer school or desire to rest, and this
year the institute will not interfere
with such plans. Owing to efforts of
Supt. Ports, the work was planned SO
that teachers Of every grade derived
much real value, inspiration that can
be carried with profit into next years
work. The corps of instructors was
exceptionally strong, the strongest
that ever assisted at a normal in this
county. The great light was Dr.. N. E.
lShaeffer, superintendent of public
instruction, of Harrisburg, Pa, a ty-
pical Pennsylvania German, closely In
touch with teachers in all grades
plain, easily approached and not only
master Of his profession. but a mar
broad on all lines of thought. The In
f.uence Of the county normal from ar
educational standpoint is of immense
concern to teachers, attendance and
interest therein makes her enthusiast
tic in her work and adds power to hei
influence as a teacher.

THE NEW HAZlNG LAW.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.-Congress
has taken steps to modify and make
cnforcible the law against hazing at
the naval academy. The house, a few
days sine passed the Vreeland bill
granting authority 10 the secretary OF
the navy in his discretion to dismiss
midshipmen from the academy and
ment in trial for hazing. The effect OF
the bill is to repeal the existing law.
which makes 1t compulsory upon the
superintendent of the academy to try
to dismiss midshipmen from the acad-
c-ny guilty of hazing in any degreee
In place Of the inf1exible severity of
the present law, a law is substituted
which will punish each case on Its
merits. Cases of hazing which are
mild in character and are the mere
overflow of boyish spirits, without
lneanness or viciousness, may be pun
ished by demerits, loss of privileges,
etc. On the other hand, cases Of haZ
iLg involving brutal, cruel and in
furious treatment may be punished
under the proposed law not only by
dismissal from the academy, but by
Imprisonment as we'll.
During the course of the debate or
the bill. Colonel Hepburn, Of Iowa
took occasion to pass severe structure
"a IAAo oPoAk ShAS A'~v ~
in general because Of the lack of dis
cipline which he declared prevails. HI
declared he did not share in this
naudlin sympathy" for The boys" a.
Annapolis and for their pranks. Thei,
violation of the law against hazing, he
said, was not to be considered a mat
ter Of wsnton playfulness. but a de.
liberate well defined INSTRUMENTATION.
He said, These boys go TO Annapolis
to fit themselves to command men ant
for their duties of high responsibility
They are not sent there only for ar
academic education, but should learr
the principles of discipline. How cal
we expect them to get this training fol
higher duties when all through thu
academy they are defying the law 2"
The colonel is exactly right. Their
is no patience with the lawlessness o
the midshipmen. For that very rea'
son, however, the new law is WELDON
ed. 1t is framed along lines Of com
mon sense. with graduated punish
ments for graduated o%ffenses. and will
doubtless prove of value where thu
cid law has beer innocious. There ar
degrees in hazing, as in other offenses
and a law that recognizes this is more
iii keeping with the true spirit of dis
cipl'ne. The boys" at Annapoli:
should be disciplined, not merely
threatened by an outlandish punish.
r.ent that nobody means to enforce
Albeit, 1t is a wise provision that thu
new law preserves the punishment o
dismissal for aggravated cases, anc
goes even further than the old law II
prescribing Imprisonment in cases o
extreme lawlessness.

THAT MOROCCO CONFERENCE.

AS far as a be learned, everyone
concerned in the Morocco conference
is pleased with the outcome except,
possibly, Morocco. That unhappy Afri-
can s%ultanate is in the regretful mood
of q maj who has been robbed and
stands by while the highwaymen are
dividing the loot. Morocco is expect
ed to be gay and light hearted because
the sultan's horses and shoes, or san
dals have beer left him. A terrible
European war has been averted and
the diplomats will return TO their vari-
ous capitals full of virtuous satisfac-
ton at their accomplishments.
It is hard for the average person to
figure just what has been done to
Morocco. In the dispatches we learn
that France has gained a great diplo-
matte victory in being allowed certain
police privileges. 1t sounds like the
confidential reports of a democratic
caucus. We understand, for instance,
that France is to be allowed two SER
geants and twelve patrolmen at TIE.
tuan, with a captain and patrol wagon
at La Raiche. An ambulance station
with a corps of plain clothes men and
mob guns will be established at Casa

GROWTH OF FOREIGN TRADE.

Two thirds of the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1906, has presented its COM
mercial record, and the growth Of com
merce has been sufficient to justify the
assertion that for the year both i'm
ports and exports will exceed those Of
any earlier like period. The exports
of 1905 exceed those of any earlier
year; yet the exports Of that part of
the fiscal year 1906 recorded are $780,
00O,0 900 in excess of those of the cor
responding months of 1905. The i'm
ports of 1905 were also greater than
il any earlier year, yet the import
figures for the eight months ending
with February, 1906, are $71,000,0 900
greater than those Of the correspond
ing period last year..
This growth in imports and exports
is shown in detail in a statement just
issued by the department Of commerce
and labor through it's bureau of Stats

Blanca, and Tangier is to be placed
in charge OF a lieutenant from France.
AS a concession to Spain, which, we
must assume, helped to stuff the bal
lot boxes at Algeciras, that country Is
to have representation among the wa
ter wards.
It appears that this long conference
at A!geciras was in settlement Of
claims Of Germany and France over
influences and concessions in Morroc-
co to which neither had a moral right.
Besides the police there was the bank
to be considered. The first French
victory came when France demanded
that these two propositions be con
sidered together, while Germany de-
manded a separation. The cards fell
favorably to France, which was sup
ported by Great Britain, Russia, Italy,
Spain, Portugal and the United States.
Only Austria remained On the German
side. Morocco was not considered, al
though it was Morocco's country that
was being torn and traded. There is
grim humor in the report that "Swed-
en- did not vote on this proposition I
believing presumably, that 1t dids.t
make much difference whether Ger
many or France got the bone. Ger.
many consoles itseiI that 1t has really
won a victory and with true T%eutonic
cunning points to the progressed dis
coyery that it has only n friend,
Austria, to depend on in future Inter
national discussions" The triple ALI
ance being broken, Germany will now
go to work building a bigger navy and
completing its military system, n or
der to stand a better chance when the
next helpless principally is to be
sandbagged and looted.

GROWTH OF The SOUTH.

The Davenport Times has culled
from the Manufacturers Record some
interesting facts that show the growth
Of the southland and that that section
Of the country, Is the Times says, els
possessed Of prosperity, a population,
an agricultural and commercial activi-
ty, as great as the totals of all other
parts Of the country in 1880. With the
exception Of manufactured products,
and the value of assessed property, the
south Of today is ahead of the com
bined east, west and; north of $780," :
The south, in 1905, had a population
Of 25, 900, 1000. In 1880 the rest OF the
country had a population of $4,000, 900.
In 1905 the south's railroad mileage
was $4,000. The mileage for the rest
OF the country, in 1880, was $1,000.
The Atlanta Journal adds these fig.
ures:
The south last year made 3,1OO. 900
tons Of pig iron, against 1000, 900 for
all the rest of the country in 1880;
mined 70, $1,000 tons Of coal, against
36,0 0 900; made 6,244, 900 tons OF
coke, against 5000, 900; produced AZ,
$4,000 barrels of oil, against $4,000,
900.
The south's capital invested in cot
ton mills. in 1905 was $225, coo, 900, as
against 100000, 900 in the rest Of the
country in 1880; its annual lumber pro.
ducts were $3.50, 900, 900, as against
$4,000, 900; its annual farm products
$1,750,000,0 900 as against 81, $50, 900, 900
These figures tell a wonderful story
They indicate that in another cwartel
OF q century, perhaps sooner, the south
will be producing as much as the resi-
of the country is today.
