KurOpatkiu.

The report that Gen. Kuropatkin Is to be
commissioned to reorganize the Russian
army revives interest in the man and his
recent history.
His was a hard fate in the war with
Japan. Wearing laurels well won in the
war with Turkey. and past the age when
soldier may be expected to show great
energy in the field, he was summoned to
full command In Manchuria after the Rus
sian situation was hopeless The army
was demoralized by repeated defeats and
the victorious Japanese were in Irresistible
form. He obeyed orders. though with q
consciousness Of what awaited him. His
only possible service was to save something
out of the wreck, and maneuver until peace
could be arranged.
He performed that Office we'll. Conduct
Ing retreats in mastery fashion, he saved
the Russian forces from complete annihila-
ton. and had the semblance Of an army
to turn over to his successor when impa-
tience at home demanded his retirement.
But his popularity had all disappeared. He
stood discredited in the eyes Of his sover-
eign and his countrymen, and since then
his name has appeared but seldom in the
dispatches.
The job to which this old soldier has now

have to build from the bottom. II we may
believe widely accepted reports. the Russian
military service suffers from nearly every
form of complaint. Graft and royal favor
itism have done their worst. and the results
appear on every hand. Officers lack both
professional pride and equipment, and the
rank and file are correspondingly incapable
Such an army therefore as Russia needs
whether she Is to return for q time to the
old order Of civil things. or is to go forward
In the new path upon which she has entered,
must show in its every feature the best of
up-to-date methods.
Although his successes in the field were
achieved years ago. Gen. Kuropatkin has
kept up with the progress OF his profess
sion, and his observations in Manchuria
must have been valuable. He had a chance
to study not only the deficiencies Of his own
side. but the superb preparations Of the en-
envy. and his qualifications for rebuilding
Russia's fighting machine must be the larger
for his Manchurian experience. disastrous
as that was.
1t Is going to take an enormous pile of
money to reorganize the Russian army end
rebuild the Russian navy. and keep them fit.
and one may wonder where 1t is to come
from.

Ancient Classic Advertising.
From the Wall Street Summary.

Recent Egyptian explorations have re-
suited in the discovery Of certain papyri.
which prove to us that advertising Is not
as modern as 1t Is supposed to be. and that
the art of exploiting their wares found ia
vor with the worlds ancients. In King 8
College, London, there has lately been ex-
hibited fragment which is believed to be
a part of the Gnomai of Epicharmus, al
though 1t Is credited by some to Axiopis-
tus which contains an announcement that.
for a consideration. phrases for use on
friend or foe. when speaking in court or
in the assembly. on a rascal. gentleman.
a stranger, a bully a drunkard or bOor.
may be obtained" Since Epicharmus -four
isl1ed between $40 and $50 B. c., 1t will
probably be news to the "originators' Of
modern advertisement writing to learn that
the seductive art in which they claim per-
lection was, apparently. countenanced al
most 1850 years ago.

resignation or removal for cause. For In

paragraph:

resignation or removal for cause. For In
stance. in section 8 Of the act occurs this
paragraph:
range all teachers In the classes and groups
In the above schedule, except as herein
after specified. For the year ending June
thirtieth. nineteen hundred and seven. each
head Of department and teacher shall re-
ceive the salary in the class next above
his present salary. and no teacher or
principal shall In any event receive less
than his or her present salary. II promoted
to q higher class he shall receive the salary
In that class next above his present salary.
and after June thirtieth. nineteen hundred
and seven, II his work Is satisfactory, ne
shall receive an annual increase within
his class or group as herein provided. with
out action OF the board Of education"
This language Is In no sense or degree
eQuivocal or misleading. Its clear pur-
pose il to establish the staff as permanent
and to continue in position every teacher
and head of department on the rolls at the
end % the past fiscal year, without any
definition of term.
1t "a dii3cult to understand why the board
of education. with its supposed familiarity
with the purpose OF the act which gave
1t existence. could have consented to the
establishment of the one-year principle in
the first batch Of teachers appointments.
1t is indeed surprising that the board con-
sented to any action which permitted the
raising OF the question In any form. 1t
should have proceeded sQuarely on the as
sumption that Congress intended to con-
stitute the teachers into q permanent stan.
and thus allayed all apprehensions. 1t Is
true that the new superintendent Is q
graduate of law, but he has never prac-
ticed. and In any case he can hardly be re-
garded as entirely competent to interpret
an act of Congress without assistance or
advice and without prolonged study Of the
local statutes and conditions.
1t 10 unfortunate that the board will not
hold its next meeting until September 6,
eleven days before the opening Of the
schools. for there are many matters to be
settled. and they all intimately affect the
peace and comfort Of the teachers and,
OF far greater Importance, they bear d.
rectly upon the efficiency of the school or
ganization itself. Five Of the seven high
schools and both Of the normal schools are
without principals, and there is no settle
ment OF policies intimately affecting the
management of the educational system
The situation Is close approximation Of
chaos.

Is This an "Annexation" RevoltP

1t will be interesting to know how far.
II at all, the Cuban insurrection has Its
origin In the United States. and to what
extent it is being supported from here.
1t has been feared for some time that the
elements opposed to the Palma administra-
ton have been encouraged by the show Of
American sympathy. And the opinion has
been more or less pointedly preached that
annexation to the United States might fol-
low an outbreak Of hostility to the govern
ment OF the island.
In all dealings with and consideration Of
Cuban affairs this possibility must be def
nitely borne in mind, that there exists to-
day. as there has existed for eight years,
a sentiment in some parts of this country
on the part OF certain classes Of citizens
favorable to the assumption Of Cuban ad-
ministration by this government. There
was no hesitation on the part Of the annex
ationists at the time Of the Intervention
in 1898 to avow their hope that the United
States. once in control OF Cuba. would
never withdraw. The transfer of SOW
ereignity to Cuba was stoutly opposed. It
was freely declared that the evacuation
OF the island by our troops would precipi-
tate an era OF warfare.
These predictions have come to naught
unth now. The present insurrection has
apparently grown beyond the expectations
of the government at Havana, and 1t may
eventually be necessary for the United
States to step in and restore order. But
1t should do only as an interceder for
the restoration of a Cuban administration,
and not as a means to the end of annexa-
ton. thorough investigation of this up
rising might bring to light sinister reia-
