MORE WORK SUSPENDED

children of the metropolis of round
ed and complete education.
Now if the DONKEYS and MON
KEYS-we beg their pardon, but we
cannot help being brutally frank when
we take up this subject of American
education-if the asinines and slmians
Ito soften the epithets they deserve)
would but go the root of this matter,
if they would exercise their common
sense, if they would look about them,
if they would listen TO educational
specialists and others interested in ed
ucation, they would not CLOSE THE
SCHOOLS. THEY WOULD CLOSE
THE SWEATSHoPS AND SLAVE
FACTORIES THAT ARE EMPLOY
ING CHILD AND JUVENILE La
BOR. Then they wouldn't have to
close the schools.
If we learn, later on, that one single
school has been closed in New York
city, or anywhere else, because the
children have had to go to work, then
we will say that the administration
is as rood as damned already, and that
Taft OF any other Republican Will have
as much chance against William Jen-
nings Bryan and the CAUSE OF
AMERICAN EDUCATION and the
SALVATION OF THE AMERICAN
NATION by the abolition of child la

CLEAR. CRISP AND CLEAN
VETO IT

A S THE HERALD pointed out that
H it would, at the time the eccen-
Ia tricity was perpetrated, the eX-
iraordinary ordinance that cuts the
Hill region of Los Angeles out of the
fire district has caused adverse COM
ment among insurance men and east ,
ern investors Mayor Harper has dis
covered that the ordinance is inspired
by a fraternal order that desires 10
erect a non-fireproof lodge hall in the
affected district and by number or
owners of firetrap wooden lodging
in their buildings Councilmen explain
that by September 1 they will extend
the fire limits to Bunker Hill avenue
again. But in the meantime hum
dred fretraps may be rushed up in the
temporarily exempted locality. The
mayor announces that he has not COM
pIeted his investigation and declares
that he dislikes to veto the ordinance.
Mere men, ordinary human beings,
reople arranged in the fashion most
commonly typit1ed In cltlzensnlp, cam
not understand why the mayor should
hesitate, unless his honor can prove
that he has been dabbling in the black
art and has a secret contract with
Abeddon, Apollyon & Co., the demons
that control fire, by which they agree
to refrain from exercising their priv
ileges in order to please influential
friends of a majority OF the councilmen
os Los Angeles. If disaster should fol-
low the suspension of the ordinance
ond if that disaster should affect prop
erty in this city, the council would not
be able to evade a charge that it had
been responsible for mischief making.
The mayor should use that little Latin
word which means so much in English
speaking civilization.

TURN THE ROBBERS OUT

HIHE decline of popular higher edu-

but from that point there is rapid
decline and less than per cent OF
the whole are in the high schools.
These figures have aroused much

REVIVE VEXED QUESTION

n RESIDENT JOHN WILLIS BAER
of Occidental is about to confer
Il with President Theodore Roose-
Welt of the United States on the ques-
tion of Oriental immigration. DR..
Baer is not in favor of an unlimited
open door, but he says that he is op-
posed in q certain degree to the Jap
anese and Korean exclusion act and
he will try to have the Chinese eX-
clusion law so amended that it will
prevent harsh treatment of students
and merchants. He adds that efforts
to shut the door of America in the
face of all the Orient are unethical,
unchristian and unamerican. Thus
is an old controversy on the eve of
being revived in all its pristine vigor
and virulence. The right of nation
to exclude aliens who are non-assim-
liable cannot be disputed. The native
Indians did not assimilate the white
man. The invader has almost wiped
him out. We cannot assimilate the
yellow and brown races any more than
the British can assimilate the Hindus,
more than a century's trial, is COM
paratively trivial, although altruistic'
ally and ethically it may be appre-
ciated, as the British mission in ths
main has been that Of peacemalter.
The Asiatic persons who have been
found by California white men after
many years of experience to be ut
terly unassimilable will always be as
redundant in California as theiI
cousins. the Hindus. would be in the
British isles. 1t is impossible to ori-
! er talize the Caucasian brain, or in the
negative Oriental brain TO replace the
| impressions, dreams and Visionings OF
centuries by the sharp Dositiveness ol
| the children of the Caucasus. You
cannot even compare things that are
different. How hopeless it is to think
! of blending them.

even as the Republican convention of
1896 was practically pledged to William

difference in the conventions vote for

gates are Instructed for Taft. The day
OF the uninstructed delegate seems to
be practically over. 1t is recognized
that delegates to a national convention
represent voters of the political faith
to which they give allegiance, and If
il be the expressed will of the voters
that the representative or delegate
should support a stated candidate, his
rot to reason Why!" Besides, men who
have been delegates will tell you that
when a delegate is instructed his lines
are cast IN pleasant places, especially

MONTANA'S FOREMOST CTTIZENT TO
OPEN DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN.
BRILLIANT, ,F0RCEFUL SPEAKER
Bitter Root People Should Turn Out and
and Others in the Party,

Governor Edwin L. Norris will open
county next Monday. He will be ac-
companied by John HI. Tolan of Ana
conda, democratic nominee for attor-
ney general, Phil G. Goodwin, the
and Chas. H. Hall of Missoula. The
party will come from Missoula in
automobiles and stops will be made at
Stevensville and Victor, where rallies
will be held. The governor and party
will speak at Stevensville at 2. p. m,
and at Victor at 4:30 p. ia. The big
rally will be held at Hamilton at s p. m.
The Hamilton band will be in attend
ance.
Governor Norris is conceded to be
one of the very best speakers in Mon
tana. He proceeds in the discussion
of his subject with vigor and direct
ness that are not equaled by any other
orator in the state. His popularity is
attested by the fact that he was elect
ed lieutenant governor four years ago
when Roosevelt swept the state like a
cyclone and democrats everywhere
were defeated. No more splendid en-
dorsement of Mr.. Norris capacity for
the high office he occupies could have
been given than that of Governor
Toole, when he turned the great Office
over to him and expressed the utmost
confidence in his ability.
John II. Tolan is a campaigner of
rare ability, as is also "Charley''
Hall. The people of the Bitter Root
will no doubt turn out in great mum
bers to hear the governor and his
party.
