began today. 1t will be tramp,
tramp to school from this time to
the end next spring for the kid.
That they will all enjoy it, goes
without saying. We all like it.
The kid who receives the educa-
ton likes it, the teachers like it,
and those who provide the means
and furnish the children like it.
1t is a liking experience, and why
should we not like it? 1t is edu-
cation that distinguishes man
from man and gives one a higher
eminence than another. 1t would
be we'll if the kid could realize
this to a greater extent than he
does and inspire him to greater
effort to prepare himself for
greater usefulness in life.

last week to Glen Miller Park re-

planned on a scheme of sixty
cents for adults and thirty cents
for children from six to twelve
years, and a guarantee of $1O0 to
the railroad for transportation,
and in the rounding up the scheme
netted 81 in excess of the cost;
in other words the receipts were
$104. 10 and expenses $103. 10. 1t
was highly enjoyed and every at
tendant was we'll pleased with the

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The President and the Attor-
ney General are considerably ex-
ercised over the reported deter
mination of Judge Lands of Chi
cago to prosecute the Chicago &
Alton Railway for the illegal
granting of rebates to the Stan
dard Oil Company, for the ac-
cepting of which that Judge re-
Gently fined the Standard Oil
Company $29, 400, 900. The gov
ernment has long known that the
Standard Oil Company was a fla
grant violator of the law and ev-
er since Mr.. Roosevelt became
president, at least, there has
been a steady and consistent eff
fort to secure evidence on which
to base a prosecution, but the
concern was so rich, could en-
ploy such able lawyers and it's
patronage was so large and so
much sought after by the rail-
ways that it was impossible to
secure the evidence on which to
base a successful prosecution.
Finally it was discovered that the
Alton had been granting rebates
to the Standard, but it was a SER
ious question if evidence suffi-
cient to convict could be obtain
ed. This evidence was secured
only by a promise of immunity
to the railroad based on it's agree
ment to turn states evidence.
The prosecution and the immense
fine are we'll known. If, how
ever, Judge Lands persists in
prosecuting the Alton, despite
the governments promise of i'm
munity, it will be almost impos-
sible ever again to induce a rail
road or other accompliceof a law
breaking trust or railway to help
the government out by turning
states evidence and in this way
the judges proposed course will
prove the greatest possible ad-
vantage to those trusts which
wish to violate the law with i'm
punity. It has been suggested
that the President may even de-
eide to exercise his pardoning
power, in case Judge Landis fines
the Alton, in order that the word
of the government may not be
broken. For the present, the
President and the Attorney Gen
eral are waiting to hear from
District Attorney Sims, at Chi
cago,. concerning the reasons
which actuate the Judge in his
alleged purpose to disregard the
governments promise.
It is reported in diplomatic cir
cles that the President is plan.
ming another move in the inter.
est Of universal peace. 1t is
known to be his ambition to cJn.

Eliminating Himself.
BY LEO.

trail committee, by a small ma
jority, repudiated the idea of ell
iminating Senator Foraker from
politics, it spoke wisely. There
is no general desire in Ohio for
the retirement of the Senator
from politics; but there is large
number of Republicans wanting
to see him out of the Senate of
the United States because he
does not fairly represent the par
ty in Ohio. The central commit
tee said nothing about continu-
ing or discontinuing Foraker as
an Ohio member of the United
States Senate, it only spoke OF
elimination from politics. That
is a very different matter. A
man may be in politics without
being in Office, certainly without
being a United States Senator.
The committee does not want
Foraker eliminated from politics
in Ohio, neither do we. Let him
stay in politics by all means.
The sphere fits his peculiar abil-
ity. But we have reached the
conclusion that the Senate of the
United States would be better off
without J. B. Foraker especial
" if Taft is elected president.
Another matter; the central
committee in giving its voice a.
gainst eliminating Senator Fora
ker from politics had in mind his
elimination by others-not by
himself. Now that is just what
our gifted senator is doing to the
top of his ability. He is elimin-
ating himself, that is, he himself
is doing the eliminating. How?
By his spiteful and mean filings
at people whom the country de-
lights to honor. He can not make
speech, even al, a State Fair
without venting his spleen a.
gainst the chief magistrate Of
the republic. And seems bent
on pitching into Taft on the least
provocation. What ails the Sen
ator?
This is not greatness; it is pet
ty spite-a mood to be condemn
ed and resented by all fair-mind-
ed persons. Why does the great
senator vent his spleen against
Taft and Roosevelt? Are they
in his way? Perhaps they are:
but they are there by the hearty
good will Of the Republican vot-
ers. Senator Foraker was the
first public man to nominate Coz.
Roosevelt for the presidency: AT
DAYTON we heard the Senator
make the nomination in a public
speech. Has the Senator chang
ed his mind? 1t seems not. lie
still wants Roosevelt nominated
in 1903. If not, why does ne
make SO many filings at him IN
publicY Does not the SEN
ator know that his filings at the
- .
President is helping to swell the
popularity of Roosevelt2
The Senator must know that
very many people, Republicans
and Democrats, are in favor OF
nominating and electing Roose-
velt in. 1903, with his consent, II
obtained; without his consent II
necessary. We are not in favor
of this at all. Better let Roose-
velt go in peace at the end OF
this term. But we fear Fora
ker's spiteful utterances will
make all people turn to Roose-
yelt for another term. One thing
is quite certain, President RoOse-

CREENVILLE, OHIO, THURSDAY sEPTEMBERi2 i2, 1907

is learned from diplomatic sourc-
es that Mr.. Roosevelt contem-
plates calling the various foreign
ambassadors now in Washington
together, as soon as all shall have
returned from their summer va
cations, to discuss the question
of what more can be done to that
end. 1t is probable, too, that
the President is not a little con-
cerned over the situation in Mo
rocco, where the conditions are
becoming daily more grave with
the always present menace of
serious friction between Germany
and France. 1t will be recalled
that the United States was rep
resented at the Algeciras con-
ference, at which the present
modus, under which Moroccan
affairs are being conducted, was
concluded and it is a further fact
that the American ambassador,
Harry White, acting under i'm
mediate instructions of the Pres
ident, saved that conference from
a disastrous ending and so obvi-
ated the threatening war be-
tween Germany and France.
When the Algeciras treaty was
acted on by the Senate that body
adopted resolution declaring
that this country assumed no re-
sponsibilities for the carrying out
of it's provisions, but it is only
natural, nevertheless, for the
President to seek to prevent any
clash, and especially anything so
deplorable as a European war, as
a result of the provisions of that
treaty.
The preparations for the Wash
ington Peace Conference, where
the representatives of Nicaragua,
Salvatore, Honduras, Guatemala,
and Costa Rica are to meet to
draw up the terms ofsFa, perman-
ent peace, are progressing salts
factorily, although little can be
madapublic regarding them, at
this stage. 1t is now expected
that the diplomats will meet in
Washington early in the winter
and that, with the assistance of
their resident Washington minis
ters, and with, no doubt, the
kindly interest and advice of the
President, they will conclude a
treaty which shall provide for
the arbitration of all questions
which can not be settled by the
usual diplomatic exchanges.
Remarkable progress is being
made in the excavation of the
Panama canal and the reports
for August show that one-tenth
of the entire amount of excava-
ton has been completed, and in
some respects it has been the
most difficult tenth. So great
was the excavation for that
month, exceeding that of any
previous month, that the Presi-
dent cabled congratulations to
Colonel Goethals, the engineer
officer in charge, and his corps
of assistants. There was a total
rainfall of 11.89 inches along the
line of the canal in August, and
yet the great force employed
managed to take -out 1,N4, 4O4
cubic yards of material, as ag-
ainst 1,056, TIC cubic yards in Ju-
ly. Sixtythree great steam shov-
els are eating their way across
the isthmus, while $4,000 men
wait on the shovels and remove
| the masses of material which
they bite out of the sides of the
canal, and thirtyfour more huge
shovels will be delivered and
placed in commission in the near
| future. The enthusiasm engen-
