TWO-CENT FARE ENCOURAGE
: MENT ~

At time when the opponents and
opponents of two-cent passenger fare
legislation, are engaged in a fight to
the finish on this question, it comes
as "a pleasant surprise to find that
President Mellen, Of the New York,
New Haven g. Hartford railroad, has
announced "a voluntary reduction on
his road to the two-cent basis. And
as if to show the opponents of this
measure that a railroad can operate
profitablyi on a two-cent basis, he
further announces a voluntary in
crease in the wages of all the en-
ployes of the company. This action
on the part of President Mellen
comes at a most opportune time, and
effectively answers one of the chief
arguments against a compulsory two
cent per1mile rate, namely, that it
would be too onerous a burden for
the railroads to sustain.

In the Senate yesterday Senator
Foraker criticized the Hepburn rail-
road rate bill, and announced him
self as being in favor of Senator Ell

asmuch as both Senator Foraker and
Senator Elkins are recognized as be-
ing railroad "property,' it is not
difficult to understand the similarity
of these gentlemen's tastes in re-
gard to railroad rate regulation. Il
will be remembered that Governor

Senator Elkins would be for the best

to win by the cry of reform. Corrup-
ton does exist i'll the Republican
party, but SO likewise does it exist In
the Democratic party. But even at
that there is difference between the
two parties, in that the Republicans
are doing their utmost to purge taelr
party of its corrupt element, and
I tie Democrats are sitting smuely by
doing nothing of the kind IN their
own organization, all the while by
pocritically calling attention to the
defects of their opponents. The chief
strength of the Republicans lies in
their ability for self-reform, a quail
ity in which the Democrats are ut
terIy lacking. Right at the present
time President Roosevelt is engaged
in the fight of his life, trying to eff
feet what reform is needed in his
party, but what hope Of success can
lie entertain if his party is driven
from power? Supplanting Republi-
can representatives by Democrats
simply means a continuation of the
old regime Of misrepresentation and
corruption. A party is not reformed
by being removed from power. 1t
must remain in the limelight of pub
Lefty to be thoroughly purged, and
that is one reason why the Democrat
lie party today is unreformed. Ber
sides endeavoring to reform party
by hurting it from power is, ain at!
tempt at radical reform, and bitter
experience has taught that radical re-
form is worse than useless, for it
does not last. And what this coun-
try is after is permanent reform, 9th
erwise it will be no better off than
it was before. What President Roose-
welt needs in his present fight are Re

party of Democrats and fndepend-
ehts will have to be called the Dem

rather the Inoependent-Democratic
party, since. the Democrats have con-
scented to play tail-endefsI to the

old adage, "independency covers

In another column is the announce
ment Of the Rev. Mr.. Kuhn's canJi-
dacy for the office of Congressman Of
this district, subject to an independ-
ent platform. Treading upon the
heels of the Rev. Mr.. Kuhn g an
nouncement is another one from
Thomas j. Study, declaring that the
Democrats of this district will no1ni-
nate Mr.. Kuhn and after that, Dem
ocrats and Republicans together will

no doubt about it." These two an

Kuhn's avowal of independently with
a grain of salt, as such an occurrence

party has been reduced, plainly show
ing that they are so .'hard np'' for
an issue upon which to go before the

this old party is distressing sight,

MANY LINES OF MANUAL WORK
Wants Teachers To Arrange With

indianapolis, Feb. 2S.-Fassett' A.
Cotton, State Superintendent of Pub

current month, calls the attention of
the teachers of the state to the recess
sity for making preparations for the
exhibits of the schools at tie next
State fair next fall. AS the fall term
of the schools will have only begun
When the fair opens, it is set forth
that preparations should be made
now. Last year there was an exhibit
at the fair, but Mr.. Cotton hopes
that the exhibit this year will he
more complete. The bulletin says:
"Now is the time for teachers and
officers to begin to get the education
al exhibits for the State Fair in
shape: Written work, showing what
classes have done in different sub
jects, drawings, maps, outlines, any
ching that is representative may be
submitted. Prepare set of papers
showing how the subject of arithme-
tic has, been developed. Send set
Of papers showing how the history of
the township or county has been
studied. .s.=..
"Any manual work that either
boys or girls have produced may be
submitted. A picture frame, a
Ratchet handle, a box, miniature
gate model for school house, an
apron, a dress, a handkerchief of
drawn work, in face any piece of
work representing the skill of boys or
girls may be sent. For getting this
work ready, clubs may be organized.
There may be industrial clubs and
corn clubs for the boys and sewing
and cooking clubs for the girls. To
these parents may and should be in
vited f'r the work will have to be
turned oyer to them during vacation.
"Arrange with the boys and their
fathers to make corn exhibit. Sug-
gest to them that they get some good
seed corn and plant thunder the very
best conditions; ask. the boys to
study the problem of cultivation and
to see that their corn receives all the
attention it needs. Then in the
early fall arrange for corn exhibit
in the district from which the corn
is to be selected for the State Fair.
IF you have made up your mind that
you want to teach school and have

VICTORY, FROM DEFEAT.
Two Notable Instances In the Was
Record of Great Britain.

Record of Great Britain.
Only on one occasion has a British
force offered terms amounting to sur
render before the commencement CT an
action, but this is what the Block
Prince felt himself obliged to do by the
overwhelming forces Of the French be-
fore the battle Of Poitiers. So certain
did he consider defeat to be that he
actually offered to give up all the plum
der he had taken. disband the greater
part Of his force and give an under
taking not to fight against the French
for seven years, and 50 confident were
the French that they refused these
terms. The result was one OF the most
brilliant victories that adorn the Brit
ish arms s'+ ~
In modern times the victory Of An
bnera. in the peninsular war. is another
instance: Of apparent defeat being turn
ed into victory. After the charge of the
French hussars and Polish lancers all
seemed lost. Ammunition was failing.
deep gully prevented the use of the
bayonet, and Beresford was preparing
for retreat when the yalor Of Colonel
Hardinge saved the day. The battle,
which lasted only four hours. was the
scene Of terrible carnage. and when 1t
was over the so far victorious French
were driven headlong down the hill, on
the summit of which 100 unwounded
men, the remnant OF $500 unconquer-
able British soldiers, stood triumphant
