diction Is fulfilled II will be any great
calamity.
DR.. Osler is a little too prompt, II
seems to us, Is assuming that because

at home must have been superficial,
imperfect and iniudiciQus. our edu-

Those universities are, indeed. veneer

highly admirable-for those who want
just that thing; but a good deal OF
doubt has been expressed in England
itself as to whether the thing is better
than anything else or even if it is as
desirable as several other things.
or course, Cicil Rhodes was eX-
tremely well mentioned when he in

very far from being an educational
authority. and the circumstance OF
his life were such as to give him an
exaggerated notion as to the intrinsic

Great Britain's advantage, he wanted

enough that our schools do not pro-

schools, not held least useful to the

We never quite saw what a young
American. if at all typical Of his
country and generations, wanted or
what he could get at oxford, and we
can hear with entire composure that
those who went there are both dis

sons, at 10 o'clock in the morning.
which was the hour the Sylph was
expected.
Plans had been changed, however.
and the yacht continued up the river
TO stop at Shirley, the home of a
distinguished branch OF the Carter
family, and at Westover, the home
OF the Byrds. Shirley is still the
home of the Carriers, the widow of
Robert Randolph Carter, who died
in 1888, being the proprietress.
AT Brandon President and Mrs.

Upon the recent occasion of the
celebration of his sixtieth birthday
Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, the veteran edl-
tor OF the New York World, tele-
gIaphed to his executive stan: al
ways fight for progress and reform;
never tolerate injustice of corrup-
ton; always fight demagogues of
both parties; never belong to one
party; always oppose privileged clas-
ses and public plunder; never lack
sympathy with the poor; always be
satisfied with merely printing news;
always be drastically independent;
never be afraid to attack wrong.
whether it be predatory plutocracy
or predatory poverty"
There is no doubt about the
soundness of this platform. While
a newspaper may properly lean to
one party more than to another It
must be for rights sake, and wrong
in any party must always be at
tackled
A newspaper that deserves the re-
sFect Of the people Is not a PARTISAN

fear or favor, and uses It's influence
and voice I'm behalf Of the develop.
ment of It's territory and the country
10 insists that this development shall
not only be material but spiritual and
moral also. In a word, the newspa-
per is an agency of civilization.
There is no better creed for any
newspaper than trte Americanlsm.
True Amercanism s an ideal It
means fair play. 1t means equality of

POLITICAL TRICK
STERS SOUIRM

In this mornings issue OF the
Daily Telegraph the following cd
itorlal appears:
m WILL BE COMPLETED.
The efforts Of the Democratic re-
formers TO prevent further improve
ment on South Bland street If sue
cessful will damage more property
owners than the abandonment OF any
other projected street paving. More
working men own little homes I'm
south BlueGeld than I'm any other
section Of the city. Why should they
b, deprived Of such improvements?
They pay their taxes and are good
citizens even though they are men
OF small means The widening and
Improvement Of that thoroughfare
should be approved by every one,
from the further fact that over It
we must go to bury our dead.
The present administration will
finish the widening and paving OF
South Bland street, no matter what
the consequences may be. They will
do It In spite OF politics, in spite Of
agitation Of the kind now going on
from the outs who are crying to get
ln."
This is only an instance OF the
deception Dractlced upon the people
by the Editor Of the Ring organ.
The Democratic Reform Club has not
and is not opposing the widening
and improving of Bland street.
This Club has said that The street
shoula be- improved, and ls in favor
of every other economic and pro-
grcssiye Improvement to our city.
What the Democratic Good Govern
mcnt Club docs say concerning tho
widening and improvement Of said
Bland street, is that the object of
this Improvement was not for the
benefit OF the tax payers and prop
crty owners Of South Blueheld, but
was for the benefit of stockholders in
certain corporations represented on
the Board OF Supervisors. and on the
Common Council The Ring organ
is habiiually unable TO distinguish
b Heen illegality and public prog

upon ulegality is not in reality pub

of lengineer James w. MinholIand
and Joseph Flalferty, who are charg-
ed with conspiring to bribe members
of the city councils. Attorney Mar
ron refused to make the list pubic
at this time. Questicry which ne put
to Cameron indicated, oweyer, that
the names Of several very prominent
council members are contained in
the list which Cameron says was
given him by Common Councilman
William A. Martin collector for the
combine.
Martin has been sentenced to
three years in the penitentiary for
his part in the notorious Tube City
