With no disposition to infringe on

capacity on his part but rather to de-
fend and sustain the decent and in
telligent and to protect the rights,

that he may receive, the respect of
our common citizenship.
when the superintendent Of schools.
Arthur r. Spaid, dipped his pen in ink,
it should not have been to muddle.
but rather to master an important
public question.
Perhaps If educational leaders in
Delaware paid more attention to the
practical side, and less to the theoret-
ical and sentimental. the State of Della
ware would not occupy the relatively
disgraceful position which she now
does in the educational records of the
country.
I'VE invite the attention of both Mr.
Spaid and Mr. Burchenal TO the fol-
lowing educational table upon the United
states reports of the census Of 1900:
Maine, Probition, one illiterate to 40
population; New York. License. one IL
literate to 90 population; Georgia, now
Prohibition, one illiterate to IA popul
lation; Pennsylvania. License, one illit-
crate to 45 population; Vermont. Pro
hibition in 1900, one illiterate to 40
population; Alabama. Local Option, one
illiterate to 13 population: Minnesota,
License. one illiterate to S4 population;
North Carolina, Local Option, one il
literate to IS population: Mississippi.
Nearly Prohibition, one illiterate TO IS
population; Kansas, Prohibition, one il
literate to 1913 populations; Utah, Ii
cense, one illiterate to 112 populations
Texas three-fourths Prohibition, one
illiterate TO % population; Delaware.
License, one illiterate to 26 population;
Maryland, partly license, one illiterate
to 20 population; Nebraska, License,
one illlterate to 144 population.
1T will be seen that while Kansas
stands very high in the list, that she is
beaten by Utah and Nebraska, the lat
ter leading the van in educational ex-
celiency 1t is also well to note that
Nebraska voted down prohibition by
very decisive majority some years ago.
Alsa that New York which is the re-
ceiving point of most of the illiterate
immigration, stands above either Yer
mont or Maine in the record.
1T would be well for Mr. Burchenal,
who refers to Maine's superior educa-
tional standing in his article of recent
PRONUNCIATION, to study this matter fur
ther.
THE difficulty is that the statistical
bureau of the opposition is a "salted
mine" used TO deceive and not to en-
tighten.
1T is a disagreeahle fact that our own
state is so low in the list, but it can
not be a surprise to those who have
paid attention to the recent utterances
of our would-be educators.
1T certainly can not be charged to
license New York has one license to
every 400 of population and one illit-
crate to every 55 of population
Delaware has one license to about
700 of population. and one illiterate
to 26 of population, In the circum-
stances 1t appears that the citizens
of Wilmington and of the whole state
should call upon the educators to edu-
cate.

Address an 0p.n Letter De.
Claring That They Do Not
Concur in his Views
STATISTICS ON EDUCATION

In Turn Hall last night a represen-
tative gathering of the German Amer
lean citizens of Wilmington, held an
indignation meeting regarding the stand
taken on the subject of prohibition by
Arthur r. Spaid, superintendent of the
public schools, of New Castle county,
who was there termed an official who
derives his salary from the money paid
out Of our pockets as taxpayers"
The meeting was under the auspices
of the German American Alliance, and
was largely attended, nearly fifty dele
gates being present Christopher Bauer,
President Of the Alliance was in the
chair, the other officers present being,
Vice President William Schoenhaar,
Treasurer George Weth, Recording Sec
retary Professor Otto Goepel, Financial
Secretary Joseph c.. Adams
The direct object of the gathering
was to formulate an answer to Pro-
fessor Spaid's letter of August 10th in
which he replied to a letter of William
j. Hogan on the subject, prohibition
IL is alleged by the Germans that Mr.
Spaid cast reflections upon their ma
tionality and made insulting remarks"
regarding emigration and the unrelia-
bility of emigrants who are i'm favor of
the use Of beer
President Bauer stated in his open
ing remarks that Mr.. Spaid was a paid
official and that he was kept in Office
partially by the German American tax
payers, who do not concur in his views
That he had no right as a paid official
and servant of the people, to take
a stand on either side of the license
question. His sole duty to the public
IL was contended was to foster educa-
ton. In reply to Mr.. Spaid's letter an
open letter was read and adopted call
ing the attention of the public to edu-
cational matters in the various prohi-
bition and anti-prohibition states.

Orchards testimony was introduced
at the Pettibone trial yesterday by the
prosecution. Clarence barrow, chief
counsel for the defense, was taken
sick Sunday night and was not pres
ent in court during the day, Edgar

Of Darrow's absence Orchard was not
asked impeaching questions, and the
state postponed its redirect examina-
ton.
Judge Luther M. Goddard was the
most important witness for the state,
being on the witness stand most of
the afternoon session. He told of the
finding of the bomb which Orchard
testified had been planted near his
gate for the purpose of killing him,
The testimony of Former Sheriff
Nichols of Caldwell proved disastrous

ceiving letter addressed to Thomas
Hogan, copying it ana giving the origi-
nal to Orchard, he testified on cross
examination that the letter was not

bone, the defendant. He said he be-
came familiar with Petitioners writ
ing while he was in Jail in Caldwell.

Washington. Dec. l4-Afer decid-
ing to hold the next Democratic ma
tional convention at Denver. Colo,
and fixing the date of the meeting for
July z, 1908, the Democratic national
committee late yesterday entered upon
spirited debate on the propriety of
accepting more of the 100000 offered
by Denver for the convention than ac-
tually needed to pay the convention
expenses in that city The opposition
to the acceptance of the contribution
took the form of resolution by Rep
resentative Clayton of Alabama, de-
clining money not actually needed for
convention purposes, but after long
debate the resolution was laid on the
table by vote of 81 to IA.
Causes Spirited Debate.
Mr.. Clayton, Representative John
.Sharyj. Williams of Mississippi and
Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia all spoke
In favor Of the passage OF the resolu-
ton. Mr. Taggart advocated the &C.
ceptance Of the 100000, saying it
would be needed now even more than
money was needed in 1904, and that
at that time 1t would have been prac-
tically impossible to have opened
headquarters for Judge Parker II they
had not had the extra money secured
from st. Louis, where the convention
was held.
Senator Stone Of Missouri made a
long speech in which he favored the
acceptance of the money.
Mayor Tom Johnson advocated the
acceptance Of the. money. offered. by
Denver.
Straight Business Proposition.
Charles F. Wilson of Colorado as
sured the committee that Denver had
no desire to appear as unduly influ-
encing the committee He said that
there Is business men league in
Denver an important part of whose
business it is to secure conventions,
and that the proposition to the Demo-
cratic committee to go to Denver had
been made as it had been to secure
many other meetings. He said the Den
yer people would be disappointed if
the entire sum was not accepted.
The motion to table Mr. Clayton's
resolution prevailed by vote of 81 to
IA.
On the first ballot Denver received
% votes, as against II for Louis
Vile, for Chicago and / for st. Paul.
July was selected after a brief dis
cussion.
