A STRONG ARRANGEMENT.

Cedar Rapids Gazette.The election
address Of Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman, the new English premier, is a
strong arraignment Of the preceding
administration. His claims that Eng
lish legislation has been inaugurated
for the benefit of the privileged classes
will hardly be disputed in America
by those who have closely followed
the trend of politics in the United
Kingdom, especially taken in connec-
ton with the wars and other adven-
lures abroad which have been ex-
plotted by those who have been in
control. The new premier promises
peace economy, self government and
civil and religious liberty, platform
which ought to win even in iinper-
ialistic England. Campbell Bannerrnan
has read the signs Of the times Alright.
The people evenfof the old world, are
awakening to the proper sense Of
their rights, and their power, and they
will not permit the favored few to
govern the many. And the evidence
Is strong that the world is making
progress toward more truly represen-
tative government when such men as
Campbell Bannerman, Witte and
Theodore Roosevelt are placed at the
head Of affairs in a nation.

partments of the great university he
had built up. His death came five
days earlier than the limit he had set,
but so thorough was his work in the
meantime that he passed away peace
fully, welcoming the end of his suf-
fering and happy in the knowledge
that, though not completely carried
out! his plans for Rush were SO near

them to success as we'll as could he.
To the general public, DR.. Harper
was money getter.'' In writing to
a friend few months ago, he used
that identical expression in summing
up the popular view of himself. But
the fact as known to those who en-
joyed his personal acquaintance, was
that he abhorred the work of raising
funds for his school and only gave to
lit his efforts because he knew that
the success of the institution as an
educational agent depended upon its
financial support
Indeed, so great was his love for his
school that he sacrificed his desire to
make a name for himself as great
Hebrew scholar in order to carry out
the greater work of educating the
younger generation and providing an
Institution for the development OF
generations yet to come No nobler
use could have been made of his life
and it is right that the world should
know and appreciate the truth.

THE OFFICIAL REGISTER.

Representative Calderwood Of Scott
county did good piece of work yes
terday when he got through the lower
house of the legislature resolution
authorizing the publication of 10000
additional copies of the Official Regis
ter of 1905. The book is extremely
! valuable and it's circulation has been
limited to 10000 copies. 1t ought to
go into every school room in the state
of Iowa and law requiring 1t to be
used as text book would not be a
bad one.
The book includes all of the infor-
nation about the state and national
government. 1t would give the pupils
of the schools an idea of how the
state is managed and on the subject of
the civil government of the state. A
public man ventured the opinion dur
Ing the recent sessions of the great
teachers association in Des Moines
that not one in 1000 pupils in the pub
[ lie schools of Iowa can write page
Of manuscript or speak 100 words
with grammatical accuracy and not L.
900 out of the 100000 could give the
names Of the members of the Presi-
dents cabinet, the names of the state
officers or the judges of the supreme
court.
A proposition. therefore. to require
the schools to use the Official Register
as text book might deprive the book
companies Of some valuable and desir-
able business but there could be worse
things for the pupils.
