The Ironton Register asks us to
explain the seeming incongruities
of the protective tariff, how it is
possible for a protected country,
where labor is high, to invade with
its manufactured goods free trade
country. where labor is low. This
it appears to the Register to be an
untenable theory; but somehow in
practice it works out just that way.
We cannot account for the theore-
ticul vagaries of our free trade
friends nor assume the RESPONSE
biIity of them. In practical appli.
cation free trade never works out
according to theory, while protec-
ton does exactly what it is intend
ed it should accomplish. Under
protection we are at present pay
ing the highest wages in the history
of the worll and at the same time
largely invading the markets OF
free trade countries, where labor is
low, with our goods. Some years
ago, when the Registers party IN
dertook to apply its tariff theories
here, we saw our own industries

dumpiIg their cargoes of foreign
manufactured goods upon ON

No Teachers Profession.

There is in the United States
no teachers profession" Here is
probably the sorest spot in our
educational organization. There
is too much dilettante teaching,
too much dilettante principaline,
too much dilettante superintend-
ing. Good intentions there are in
plenty, but these are Of no mere
practical value to the children than
are the good intentions of a physi-
clan toward his patients. OF what
comfort is it to the weeping par.
ents to know that the physician
loved their child, and would have
saved him. if he could, but that
he did not know how! They would
sooner have pardoned a lesser
amount Of sympathy, if there had
been a better-trained judgment.
In matters concerning education
the people are not yet capable Of
distinguishing between surehanded
expertness and bungling dilettante-
ism, though they are learning
slowly and by costly experience,
that there is such a difference.
Many communities have already
discovered that the superintendent,
at least, should be trained spec
ialist. However, there are still to
be found too many of the ''hurrah,
boys" type of superintendent, ex-
pert in the art of cndearing them
selves to School Boards, pricipals
and teachers, but expert in nothing
else. They address every man
most cordially as 'Brother" or
Son." and the women as ''Sis-
ters" Or ''My Girls" Their visits
to the classrooms are frightened
by funny stories, and the pages of
their reports are illuminated by
expressions of gratitude to every
body in town for having helped
make the locals schools the glory
of the State, and for having
brought them to their present high
grade of efficiency. But one by
one these jolly good fellows are
being replaced by those whose
chief purpose is to serve the
schools, and who know how to
/ conduct them in the light of the
best thought and according to the
| most approved experience. The
expert is more and more in de-

The pyramids of Gizeh stand AS
the monuments of departed race.
They are perfcc; in masonry. and
contain blocks Of stone weighing
500 tons. What is remarkable
about these pyramids is that these
huge stones must have been
brought hundreds Of miles over
mountains and across deserts. ln
one place in f gypt there is an i'm
mense pyramid in which are buried
the Egyptians sacred hnlls. This
gigantic tomb is partltioned into
alcoves, in which are solid granite
sarcaphagi containing the bodies
of the bulls. Some years ago an
attempt was made to move the
sarcophagi. 1t took great num-
ber of men with modern appIianc-
es three weeks to move one of
these granite cofins $50 feet.
There is no doubt that the children
Of the Nile carried the immense
blocks of granite by hand or horse
power. They erected obeIisks
weighing over 400 tons. Near one
Of the Egy ptisn temples there lies
a stone ready quarried. It is 20
feet long and IA feet square and
weighs 1885 tons.

Is is being said that control Of
the liquor traffic will cut an i'm
portant figure in the next national
campaign. In view of the great
growth in recent years of public
sentiment against this evil, it is
reasonable to expect that it will in
iect itself more forcibly into the
politics of the country than hereto
fore. This does not mean, how
ever, that we may look for & large
increase in the ranks of the Prohi-
bition party. the growth of the
anti liquor feeling will force itself
a recognition from the two leading
political parties of the country.
This is just what the Journal fore
told years ago would happen. We
said then that the liquor evil would
never be controlled by party
making prohibition its sole issue,
but that the people would event
ually bring it under restraint
through either the Republican or
Democratic parties, which have
both heretofore sought rather than
fought the influence of the liquor
element. We may reasonably ex-
pect a mild" anti-Iiquor plank in
the platforms of both these parties
next year.
