An editorial in the West virginiau
about educational matters reminds of
what Monongalia teacher told the
writer the other day. He said that
although there was no intermediate
school between the primary country
schools and the High school, yet the
requirements for entrance to the High
school at Morgantown includs one
year in Latin and Algebra. Query:
Where are the students to get the
years preliminary start in Latin and
Algebra? No answer. This Is only
one of the strange Inconsistencies OF
our educational system or rather lack
of system.

FLINN AND PENROSE.

A few weeks ago senator
Finn of Pittsburg, announced with
great flourish of trumpets that
he was going to wade into the fight
and smash Senator Penrose's chan
ces for reelection to the United
States Senate. Now Senator
Finn has hauled in his horns, and
announces that he will copfne his
fight to Allegheny county.
Senator Penrose spent most of
last week in Pittsburg, and has re-
turned home we'll pleased with his
visit, it being understood that
Films change of base was brought
about while he was there. One of
Films political associates has an
nounced that while the Finn fol-
lowers in the next Legislature will
be opposed to Penrose they will go
into Republican caucus and abide
by decision of majority of its
members.
The Philadelphia Record says
that back of this declaration is
deal of more than ordinary impor-
tance and of somewhat startling
character. 1t is declared that it
involves an understanding that the
organized liquor forces of the State
and county will make common
cause with Penrose in the election
OF members of the Legislature, the
agreement being that the Senators
and Representatives who may be
elected as a result of this support
shall vote for the reelection of
Senator Penrose and against any
proposed local option legislation.
One of the terms of the deal is that
the Republicans who may be elect
ed to the next Legislature pledge
themselves not only to be bound by
caucus to select a candidate for
Senator, but also must agree in ad-
vance of sharing in the financial
contributions of those interested in
the deal to be bound by similar
caucus to be called to take action
on the question of local option.
AS stated, one of the initial NOV
es in this deal was successfully
made in Pittsburg during the past
week, and part of its terms are
disclosed in the statement made by
Max Leslie, as the representative
of Senator Finn.

Judges Fear Burial Alive.
Supreme Court Members Apprehensions
Divulged BY Doctors.

That two Justices of the United
States Supreme Court fear prema-
ture burial to such an extent that
they have made arrangements for
every possible test for life after their
death is reported was the statement
of DIR. John Dixwell, one of the
most prominent physicians of Mas
sachusetts. He was arguing before
the Legislature in favor of a bill re-
quiring the application of 10 dis
tinct tests in the case of every re-
ported death before interment tax
es place.
1T is worth anything to prevent
the horror of burial alive that many
people undergo" he declared
This horror exists as a fact and
cannot be disputed. I have two
Judges of the United States SUI
preme Court whom I have promis-
ed l would see should not be buried
alive. They are friends of mine,
and l know that they stand in
deadly fear of burial alive
DIR. Dixwell refused to tell to
whom he referred, but it is known
that he is intimate with Justice
Holmes and Justice Moody, both
OF whom are from Massachusetts,

ters was considered at great length.
That is the most influential, and it
may justly be added the most use-
full organization in the world. I'm
der the wise guidance of John
Mitchell it has achieved vast good
both for capital and labor During
the convention which sat more than
month a number of resolutions
with respect to Mr.. McHenry's
bill were introduced and referred to
the Committee on Resolutions, the
final report of which became the
platform of the organization.
Since the adjournment of the
convention the proceedings have
been published, officially, and the
report of the Committee on Resolu-
tions is found to contain this ex-
preston: Resolved, That we are
thoroughly in accord with the prin-
ciples embodied in the McHenry
bill providing for bureau of mines
and a tax of cent per ton upon
all coal produced in the United
States and Territories, for the relief
of those who meet with accidents
in mines and suggest that it be re.
vised to conform to our constitution
and its passage urged upon Con-
gress. The Pennsylvania State
Editorial Association having with
equal cordiality endorsed his bill to
abolish the tax on lumber, timber,
bark and wood pulp, it may safely
be said that John G.. McHenry is
fulfilling the best expectations of
his friends.

er that protection be for the benefit
of favored localities or favored in
dividuals. 1t is a grant of special
privileges, favoriug some to the
detriment Of others; it is taxation
of the many for the benefit of the
few.
We recognize that large sums Of
money must be raised for the sup
port of Government; and that the
simplest way of raising it is by
means OF a tariff; but such tariff
should be one for revenue only
that if there still remain any infant
industries in this country, or any
class Of mechanics or laborers that
need protection, a revenue tariff
can be so adjusted as to afford them
all necessary relief.
Our mechanics and laborers have
more to fear from the importa ion
of cheap foreign labor to compete
with them here than from the i'm
portation of the products of cheap
foreign labor.
This is an altogether admirable
statement of the position of the
Democratic party both as to the
policies it has contended for in the
past and its attitude toward ques-
tions now at issue before the coun-
try. We commend it to the peru
sal of all Democrats, and especially
of young Democrats, upon whose
shoulders will devolve the burden
of the maintenance of the princi-

OLD-FASHIONED DEMOCRACY.

III a speech made before the Ma
tional Democratic Club in New
York this week exJrdge Herrick
among other things said:
We are here to read men into the
party, not to read them out.
Our party is a national, not a
sectional party. We must not ex-
ct all members Of our party to
INK alike upon every question,
hid we should not rule out of its
membership those who differ from
IS in some particulars.
I have been taught to believe
that the following are some of the
essential principles of the Demo
cratic party:
That the principal function of
government is to prevent citizens
from interfering with the rights
of citizens, and that function being
performed, that nation is governed
best which is governed least.
Individualism, with equality of
opportunity; no paternalism, no
pampered citizens or industries,
and no special protection to persons
or classes.
Governments not engaging in
business, or enterprise, that pro-
duces gain or profit, that can be
conducted by individual or corpor-
ate capital and enterprise.
A simple not splendid govern
meut, and that no more money
should be exacted from the people
than is necessary for the support OF
government economically admins
tered.
The distribution and not centrali.
cation of governmental powers.
State sovereignty within consti-
tutional limits.
Home rule, local self.govern-
ment, the result, and also most eff
fcient preserver of civil liberty.
That all property devoted to a
purpose or business affected by a
public use is subject to public re-
gulation, and our transportation
corporations should be so regulated
by law that there shall be no favor
ed localities, corporations or per-
sons.
In protecting the Individual and
in affording equality of opportunity,
we recognize the fact that large
aggregations of wealth place the
individual at a disadvantage. II
leads to the crushing out of small
dealers, deprives them of the op-
portunity of building up and main.
tanning a business of their own,
and it often compels them to be-
come employees instead OF indepen-
dent business men. This leads us
to seek to limit and control these
1 large aggregations of capital; we
insist that their franchises and pow
ers lshould be strictly limited and
defined, and that they should be
exercised under strict supervision
and control, not nagged, worried,
threatened and plundered. but sim
ply controlled, in the public inter
est.
Our interest that the Government
. should, so far as a Government
can, afford equality of opportunity,
and our opposition to special privi-
leges and partial taxation. lead lis
to oppose a protective tariff; wheth-

Nissine Man Writes He's
Tired of Gold 7ea and
Dancing in the Park

MUSHROOM. Mich, July 23.--Mrs.
Nellie Sprague, the aged mother OF
Arthur Sprague, who disappeared last
Friday and who Is believed 70 have
committed suicide, emphatically de.
niles that there are any practical
grounds for the belief. He has heart
trouble and OF late has on that &C.
count been little respondent. In the
note which he left for his mother he
says: II have heart trouble and am
daily following the same path. | want
TO 60 away for change of life with
something different 10 look forward
to. Don't worry"
The most sensational development
in the tangle surrounding Sprague's
disappearance came when letter
from the missing man was received by
Louis Peters, a neighbor of Sprague.
The letter was sprawled over two
pages and was FOR the most part
rather incoherent. II was mailed In
Muskegon, Saturday. In II Sprague
said that he had bought a revolver
and would never be seen again alive.
He had not only grown tired OF life,
but, as he expressed II in the letter
sick Of drinking cold tea and dancing
at Lake Michigan park" The letter
was full OF similar queer expressions
