Roosevelt and his policies. proposal
to revise the tariff at a special session

presentation of the name of Vice Presl-
dent Fairbanks for the presidency
were the salient features of the In
diana Republican convention The
tariff plank is in line with the views
expressed in letter from Fairbanks
which was read to the convention, and
it Is regarded as clever tactics. OF
course the revision talked Of by the
vice president was of the protective
kind. But the selection of November

fers to mean that the possibility Of a
Democratic congress being elected
need not rob the Republicans of the
right to fix the tariiI according to their
beliefs. Other planks of the platform
are for more economy In public ex-
penditures, especially as to the army
and navy, reform of the financial sys-
tenn. regulation of trusts, anti-child la
Dor. labor legislation and deep water
ways.
Eryan Starts the Ball.
What is regarded as virtually the
first challenge of the presidential cam
paign. if it is to be fought between
Bryan and Taft, came from the lips of
the Nebraska leader of Democracy
when he spoke at the big dollar dinner
at Kansas City, Mo-, attended by 1000
members of the Young Mems Demo-
cratic Club of Missouri. Judson Har-
mon of Ohio was also down for a
speech. and he began it, but the eager
ness to hear Bryan made the audience
impatient and so noisy that Harmon
had to quit. The Keynote of Bryan's
talk was a comparison between Taft
and La Toilette, in which he made 1t
plain that he regarded the latter as a
real reformer. who, if he were nomi-
mated, would command the support of
that big section of Republicans who
want to see things done, while Taft he
characterized as a bogus reformer.
Bryan expects to see many Republic
ans support the Democratic candidates
IL the Republican party names Taft.

for the Berlin post he had chosen the
one who of all men was best fitted
for that high honor and responsibility.
He referred to Hill as a skilled diplo-
mat, student, a speaker, an author
ity on international law, a German
scholar" 1t was also stated that the
purpose of the administration was not
to treat the great diplomatic positions
as if they were to be held only by mil
lionaires. but as rewards for faithful
service. The German press now resents
the idea that Germany makes wealth a
condition for the acceptability of any
foreign representative.
The end of this unpleasant incident
came when the president sent to the
senate the nomination of DR.. Hill as
ambassador to Germany Along with
this came the nominations of Arthur
Beaupre of Illinois to be minister to
the Netherlands and Luxemburg, sue
ceeding Hill, and of Spencer f. Eddy
of Illinois to be minister to the Argen-
tine Republic. succeeding Beaupre,
Eddy being now secretary to the en-
bassy at Berlin. In the meantime the
formal resignation of Ambassador
Tower had been received, whether 1t
was FASTENED by the incident or not
being unknown to the public.
The senate later confirmed the nom
nations of Hill, Beaupre and Eddy.

Celibate Teachers.

Against CeIibate Teachers.
In his latest lecture on the training
of girls for family life Professor Earl
Barnes, the university extension lee
turer, took strong ground against the
prevailing tendency of limiting our
public school teaching force to cell
bates. He insisted that this must be
changed and that married men and
women should be placed in charge if
humanlstie principles of family life
are to be instilled. He particularly
scored the modern exclusively femi-
nine colleges, which, he said, were pre-
pairing women to live apart from men.
Whole College on Strike.
Almost the entire student body of the
New York university refused to attend
lessons because the faculty had sus-
pended the captain of the crew on ac-
count of his part in ducking a recalci-

This student had made himself UNI
popular by refusing to be hazed and
using a revolver and detective to
plOtSCt ui1uSSll L many LIE ESCllCI-
trant, whose name is Bloch, was
brought to terms and signed an agree
ment to submit to whatever punish
ment the students might dictate, but
this did not relieve the crew captain
from suspension.
