PRESIDENT DECLARES HE WILL
NOT BE A CANDIDATE.
Formal Statement Issued Repeating
That Made the Night of Elec-
ton in 1904.

Washington, Dec. H. President
Roosevelt will not be a candidate for
a third term. All doubt on this point
was dispelled Wednesday night by
the authoritative statement from the
White House that Mr.. Roosevelt still
adheres to the declaration Of renuncia-
ton made on the night of the election
three years ago.
In the statement issued President
Roosevelt says he has not changed
and shall not change the decision COM
municated to the American people in
1904.
1t appears that President Roosevelt
has been awaiting the call for the
Republican national convention to az
ford the proper opportunity for max
ing his position clear and unmistak-
able, thus leaving the field clear--for
Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, Knox, For
aker and other declared or receptive
candidates for the Republican nomina'
ton. The presidents statement fol
lows:
"In view of the issuance of the call
Of the Republican national committee
for the convention, the president
makes the following statement:
ION the night after election I made
the following announcement: I an
deeply sensible Of the honor done me

ARTIST NOT BUSINESS NAN.
Whistler Had Big Bank Account and

The Dundee Advertiser tells a story
illustrating Whistler's forgetfulness
and utter lack OF business instinct Be
ing hard pressed for a debt and having
finally been informed he would be
sued unless a check for the amount
was sent by return of post, the artist
mentioned the matter to one Of his
friends who lived near him. Explain
ing that he had a few pounds in the
bank, the exact sum unknown, he re-
quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way to business to ascertain
what was required to make his &C
count good for q check of slightly over
$50, and to deposit that amount for
him as loan. The friend was quite
willing, and in due time stood at the
cashiers desk Of Whistler's bank ask
ing for the amount OF that gentle
mans balance, explaining his errand.
The cashier was interested; went to
the big book of balances, turned over
a Few pages. wrote down some figures.

ance was more than $4,000. The ar.

In spite of the admission of college
presidents that it takes too long for
men to secure their education for the
professions, so that the earning period
for professional men is thus DELAYED
until after the age when they should
marry, the way of the young man as
pires to be doctor, lawyer or engineer
continues to made harder. The annual
address of President Schurman, of Cor
nell, indicates this tendency of colleges
and universities to require longer
periods of preparation. High school
graduates are now admitted to the Cor
nell departments of law, medicine, civil,
mechanical and electrical engineering
and architecture, and on graduation re-
ceive their professional degrees. Presi-
dent Schurman recommends that de-
gree of A. b. from some college be re-
quired of candidates who seek admis-
sion to the Cornell Medical School in
this city, so that it may be raised to the
standard of Johns Hopkins, in Balti-
more.
What has become of the proposition,
urged two or three years ago by DR..
Butler, of Columbia, that a two-year
college course be provided for men who
wish to enter postgraduate profession
Ell schools in order to make it possible
for professional men to get fairly at
their work before 80? The common
sense of that proposition commended it
to laymen. OF course, this shorter
course was not suggested as substi-
tute for the full college course for men
who could take both the latter and the
full postgraduate courses afterward,
but as help to the young men of linn
tied means who aspire to enter the pro-
Jessions. If the professions were only
TO be recruited from the men whose
fathers are able to support them until
% or 80, much of the best blood and
brain in the country would be kept
from the very work where it is most
needed.

The Birch and the Bad Boy
minneapolis Journal.)

The ancient rule of school discipline,
based on the Solomonic observation
that sparing the rod results in spelling
the child, has been pretty generally alb
rogated in these days. The community
in which the teacher, the principal or
the superintendent. Is permitted to lay
punitive hands upon the pupil, Is indeed
rare. Other methods of discipline have
superseded the old ways, and the bad
boy is suspended, sent home, kept after
school, made to stand in a corner. sent
to lower grade or to truant school,
or labored with in the effort to make
him see the error of his ways. And
still we have the bad boy, like the poor,
always with us. Some educators be-
ieve we have more of him with US than
in the old birchen days.
The recent canvass of the principals
Of schools in New York brought out
preponderance of sentiment in favor of
restoring the rod to its pristine place in
correctional methods. Out of eighty.
four principals who were willing to an
swer the question, forty-nine favored
the use of corporal punishment in ex-
IRENE cases. That shows remarkable
turn in educative sentiment. The New
York Board Of Education has taken I'D
the matter and may yet decide TO per-
nit principals to resort to fiogging
when they think it necessary. There is
usually way to reach the bad boys
heart, but not always. Every intelli-
gent and kindly effort should be made
to find that hidden way. Sometimes
the rod brings the humiliation necessa-
ry to make the way clear.

Directors Must Direct.
Pittsburg POST.

Directors must direct. Managers
must manage. What they cannot see
to personally must be. Of course, dele
gated to other hands, but theirs should
be always the final responsibility for
what is or isn't done. Subordinates are
wholly insufficient to give satisfaction
for their negligence. They will be
chosen with more care and they will
work under conditions more favorable to
efficiency when those who select them
are made responsible for whatever
shortcomings occur. We can stop the
huge sacrifice of human life due to de-
fective methods of operating and un-
reliable or overworked employees when
we go back of these underlyings to the
principals, the officers and managers
who are morally and legally responsible
for the system and its personnel. If
men and methods to operate transporta-
ton lines safely cannot be had, the
country should know it, and this going
after the directors viii hurry matters to
a definite conclusion.

Reclaiming An Empire.
springfield Union.)

Under the title of Retaining an
Empire" F. H. Newell, director of the
Reclamation Service, contributes to the
Pacific Monthly for October a notable
article telling of the great work which is
being done by the government to make
the public lands more valuable. The
Importance of this work will be realized
from the statement that upon two-fifths
Of the area covered by the United States
there is not sufficient rain to make aeri-
culture profitable. In the five years
since President Roosevelt signed the
Reclamation Act the service has grown
until it includes 200 engineers and assis-
tants, about 10, 600 laborers, l. 54 horses
and mules, % miles of railroad, 223 cars,
9 locomotives, 5 electric light plants and
numerous stationary engines.
The expenditures to date amount to
about SIG, 900, 900, and plans and speci-
flcations are nearly ready for the con-
tractors, which will bring the expendi-
lures up to about $40, 900, 900. This will
provide for the irrigation of about l, 25O.-
900 acres, while the plans thus far ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior
provide for the reclamation of 3,I7l, 900
acres The average value of irrigated
land in the United States is SAT an acre,
and this acreage, at this reckoning, will
add S14s. O37, 900 to the taxable property
of the United States, in land values
alone, to say nothing of future crops.
The approximate total cost of the appro-
we'd projects is given as $97, 900, 900.
According to the last census, the aver
age annual income from irrigated lands
is SIS an acre. On the basis of SAT, 565,
600 will be added to the national wealth.

The cry of the Democrats in 1886 was
that there was not enough money in the
country to meet the demands of legiti-
mate business. They are setting up
the same cry again. Only short time
ago they declared that existing splen-
did business conditions were attribute
BILE to the large amount of gold that
had been added to our circulating me-
dunn within the past ten years. 1t is a
fact that the volume of money In the
United States has been increased more
than fifty per cent. since Mr.. Mckinley
was first elected President. Has not
this increase been in proportion to the
increase in the demands of legitimate
business? If we had ten billion dollars
circulating medium, instead of three bill
lions, speculative business would be
equally as large in proportion and the
spectators would be crying for more
money.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1907.
A GREAT BIUNOER.

Our old political and personal friend,
the Hon. David F. Bailey, has made
great mistake in lending himself to the
Democrats for the vain purpose of
spreading discord in the Republican
party of the Ninth District. He has
permitted his personal ambition, or per-
haps his personal hostility to L. P. Sum-
mers and other local leaders, to lead him
to the commission of a serious folly.
The Republicans of this district are in
no mood for tolerating an independent
movement or listening to personal griev-
ances, when the possible outcome might
be the handing of the district over to
their political foes.
Mr. Bailey has placed his candidacy as
an independent upon the assumption
that two men, L. P. Summers and C. B.
Slemp, have combined to lead the Repub-
hcans of the District into slavery for
their own personal and political advance
ment. We believe that he is not only
doing these active and earnest Repub-
icans an injustice, but is offering an in
suit to the intelligence and integrity of
the fifteen thousand battle-scarred Re
publican veterans who have fought for
and won this district under the most
trying circumstances. While they duly
appreciate the service of Mr.. Summers,
they are not so lacking in intelligence
and character as to play the part of dunn
mics in his hands or even for the com
bined influence of the Federal officers in
the district And even Bascom Slemp.
who is the idol of the party in the Ninth,
would find himself unable to do the things
with which Mr. Bailey so unwisely and I'M
justly charges him with intended accom-
piishment, though he had such DISPOSE
ton. The friends of Mr.. Slemp, and
all the Republicans are his earnest
friends, will promptly acquit him of any
such inclinations and purposes as Mr..
Bailey is disposed to attribute to him.
The death of Colonel Slemp was a
serious misfortune to the party, both 10
the district and the State; and it is
strange that any Republican, especially
one of such long service as Mr.. Bailey.
one who has suffered from the cruel
blows of political foes, should at this
trying and solemn period try to bring
discord into the ranks of the party.
We speak the united sentiment of the
Republicans of Tazewell county, and
we believe of the entire Ninth District.
when we declare that no man will re-
ceive their support in such an unwise
course as is now being pursued by Mr..
Bailey. If he persists, he may possibly
win some Democratic votes, that we
verymuch doubt, but he will not be fol-
lowed by any true Republicans.
