be as much in control at Denver as was

EDUCATIONAL
National Gathering Of Teachers.

'NS~sS''S' SSs'S'''S W
The annual convention of the Nation
al Educational association at Cleveland
was attended by thousands Of teachers
from oil parts Of the country. A popu-
lar feature Of the first day was the
spelling match in which teams Of pu-
pills from different cities contested with
list of 500 selected words. The Cleve-
land team won, and fourteen-year-old
colored girl was the champion with q
perfect score. Her name is Marie Boil
den. Another girl, Mae Thursby Of the
Pittsburg team, also had a perfect
score, but her team ranked second III
the contest. New Orleans was third
and Erie fourth. The Cleveland schools
had challenged the schools of the coun-
try.
A movement was started among the
teachers to have the federal govern
ment take q larger part in the educa-
tional affairs of the nation.

curing 1t. He added that 'the cure for
the lowering of our ideals Is to raise our
ideals" He believed the tide had turn
ed in that direction. The cause of the
lowering was the opportunities to
make money fast" He admitted that
the man who owned the machines and
not the inventor or the workers had
''profited from the rapid multiplication
of wealth." The mistake had been
made Of creating corporations without
regulating them. Considering this and
the trusts, Bryan found that 1.-THE great
economic evil to be remedied Is the I'M
equal distribution of wealth." He add
ed that the remedy must be found ''in
an approach to equity" In determin-
ing the method of approach he said
that 1t was necessary to choose be-
tween socialism and individualism, the
former proposing ito eliminate the en-
ployer'' and the latter ito restore and
to safeguard competition" He doubt
ed that the government could ever con-
troll monopoly; hence he would check
the growth Of the trusts beyond a safe
point. AS to the struggle between la
Dor and capital, he said 1t would never
be settled and that I'VE shall gradually
approximate to justice" r-fr
Governor Johnson of Minnesota spoke
of the absurdity Of party allegiance
and of the centralizing pace in bust
ness and politics, admitting that the
workers were all the time getting less
individuality. He added that classes
had developed out Of this condition,
those who control political, power and
resources and the peasant class. But
when asked what we are to do about

His remedies would be to knock the
tariff, impose income and Inheritance

ties and make the government repre-

Local Option In Tennessee.
Incomplete returns of the Tennessee
Democratic primaries indicated the
nomination of Patterson for governor
by a safe majority over Carmack, and
this meant a victory for local or county
option as opposed to state wide pro-
hibition. However, Patterson on the
stump had promised that if the plat
form called for prohibition and the leg
islature passed such a bill he would
sign it. One notable feature Of the
contest was the defeat of Congressman
Gaines by J. w. Byrnes, a Nashville

Bryan's Property Assessment.
The tax, assessors at Lincoln, Neb.,
estimate that the property of w. j.
Bryan liable to assessment amounts to
$S4,500. The Bryan farm is listed at
500, 125. the house at $21, 900 and the
Commoner at $19,250. 1t is understood
that part OF Bryan's fortune is, in the
form OF government bonds, which are
not taxable. .'..

Another statement assailing the Re-
publican labor plank has been issued
by President Gompers Of the Fedora
ton of Labor. This insists that they

Of wrongdoing. whether they be work

Danbury hatters decision, declaring the

pose of advancing and protecting per-
sonal rights He adds that they deal
in no property, while the trusts are

LECAL-CRIMINAL
Recount Verdict Against Hearst.

Under instruction from the judge the
jury which has been conducting the re-
count of the New York mayoralty vote
in 1905 on the appeal of W. r. Hearst
has returned verdict sustaining the
election of Mayor Mcclellan, his legal
plurality being reduced to 2,965. Coun-
sci for Hearst had tried to show that
the boxes in certain districts had been
stuffed and made motion for q new
trial, but this was denied. The legal
expenses of this remarkable contest
have been enormous Hearst is said to
have spent over 100000, and the may
or says that his costs amount to $40.-
600. -
Hearst acquiesced in the final de-
cision, although maintaining that IL
the stuffed boxes were thrown out he
would have been elected. In q cabled
message from London he said he had
made the long and costly fight not to
make himself mayor, but to secure an
honest count. and that,a precedent had
been made which would prevent cleo
ton thieves from hiding behind the
barrier of the law in future. 80 r-
