CHAIRMAN
 NOT CHOSEN
No Selection Made by Nom-
 inee Taft. GOOD WORD FOR LOEB.

didate, Who Would Be Pleased to
 Give Him an Important Position if
 Republicans Are Victorious Next
 November Presidents Secretary,
 However, Will Be Out of Politics and
 Occupying Business Place After Close
 of Present Administration.
 Washington, June 29.-At the end of half a dozen conferences with his brother, Charles P. Taft, and political friends, Presidential Nominee William H. Taft announced that he could not yet tell who would be made Republic an national chairman.
 He declared that he had also about decided to hold the conference at which the chairman will be selected at Hot Springs, where, with Mrs. Taft, he will go next week.
 In the meantime Frank H. Hitch cock continues as most favorable choice.
 Incidentally Mir. Taft explained to the reporters that while he liked Will liam Loeb, Jr, very much, still he had not specifically asked the presi- dents secretary to take the chairman ship.
 The chairmanship tangle just now Is almost inextricable. Elmer Dover, secretary of the national committee, is to be placated somehow, and he has reasons for not serving as secretary if Hitchcock is the boss. Mir. Dover has been a good and faithful servant for a long time. Mir. Taft was asked about the report that he had offered the national chairmanship in vain to William Loeb, Jr., secretary to the president.
 Secretary Loeb's Plans.
 "I wish to say" said he, that the report I offered the chairmanship to Secretary Loeb is not quite accurate. What I did say to him was I should be glad, in the event of my election, to have him identified in an important capacity with my administration. I am fond of him and sincerely appre- ciate what he has done for me person. ally. He told me, however, that he expected to retire from politics at the conclusion of President Roosevelt's ad- ministration to enter upon a business career, arrangements for which he has already made"
 It is Mir. Taft's intention to remain at Hot Springs until about the first of September. when he will go to Cincin- nati to take up in earnest the work of the campaign.
 While no date has been fixed for his formal notification of the nomination for the presidency. it is likely to be July 2s or % in Cincinnati. After the Democratic national convention shall have been held he will prepare his ad- dress to be delivered fin response to the formal notification. Later in the summer he will write his letter of ac- ceptance, which will be promulgated from Cincinnati shortly after he opens in that city his headquarters.
 Secretary Taft is in receipt of all sorts of letters from all kinds of peo- pie. One came from man in New York state which read in part as fol. lows:
 'I have been confined in an asylum for the insane and want to assure you there is no pleasure for a sane man 10 be imprisoned with lot of crazy persons. I am inclosing a note for s2,5OO which I wish you would indorse and return 10 me. That money will make it much easier for me"

THE GRAPHIC AND OTHERS.

We call attention again 10 the e"- cellence of the Graphic's telegraphic service Sunday was another case in point. There was not an important item for the day chronicled in any of the big city papers that came to Pine Bluff that Was not covered in brief in the Sunday Morning Graphic from six to twelve hours ahead of any other newspaper
 The Sunday Morning Graphic waS fresh and filled with most Interesting reading matter and illustrations, from the first to the last of it's sixteen pages.
 It was not made up of ancient and worn out boiler plate, but home set matter. every line of which was full of life and action.
 There is; a great difference in tn" way newspapers are maue' fof 'u- stance. it is comparatively an easy and inexpensive matter to fill up on second land and used over boiler plate, and the number of pages under such cir cunlstances is q mere matter ef paper ard presswork.
 The Graphic wastes no paper It publishes tle NEWS WHILE TT Is NEWS. and if there is not an abuna- apce of news matter, it does not sacri- fee paper for the mere matter oi pages and bulk.
 Our State Fair Edition of Sunday has been much complimentad. It was full of information of an interesting and valuable character: it's ads were artisitcallv set and neatly displaye5' it's State Fair illustrations were at tractAe, and on the whole Sunday $ Graphic was d very pleasing number
 The Graphic is demonstrating daily me, interest and value of morning nssrlspaper, and if you are not on our subscription list. the greater loss is yours.

under his just deserts. He is surely
not belittled, and his own bearing is
proof that he is not bad hammered.
Comb the city over. and you will
have trouble in finding a single
young man, or young woman either,
whose education was obtained in
our District schools who viii
echo any of these three last objec-
tons. But you win find thousands
of them who hold the deepest graft
tude TO men teachers for lessons in
maniness, in overcoming difficulties
instead of being carried under by
them, in clean living and clean
thinking, in good citizenship. 1t is
we'll this is so. 1t would be better
if the men who taught us were
more often told ii was so. Because
despite the opinion of the writer
in the Educational Review that
professionally fitted men teachers
get a higher average salary than
the average incomes of lawyers,
physicians, clergymen, and business
men"-that sense of lasting useful
ness is the only tempting reward
teaching holds out to men in
America.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1908-05-07
The Reward OF Teaching.

For four reasons. duly set forth
in the Educational Review,
"thoughtful young men" are hest
tating 10 enter the ranks of teach
ers. More than that, these four
reasons are believed TO be the ex-
PLANTATION of a reduction by "a per
cent in the number of men teachers
I'm the course of the seven years
ended in 1906.
The reader accustomed to the few
men who teach our Washington
children will gasp when he reads
this statement against the profess
sion of teaching
First. It is a hireling occupation.
Second. teaching is looked down upon
IN the community.
Third, teaching belittles a man.
Fourth, teaching lends TO bad man
ners. and bright .oung men who see
this hesitate 20 be classed with teach
ers.
Teaching may be, indeed, a hire
ling occupation. What employment
isn't? The politician is hired to
every man who may by any con-
ceivable chance be persuaded to
vote for him; the banker to every
potential depositor; the lawyer to
every within as well as every inter
est of his client; the merchant to
every likely customer; the news
paper man to every crank who
chooses to set up a siege to the edi-
torial rooms. If young America
gives teaching the slip in order TO
be his own master, he would better
betake himself to a hermitage, and
even there he viii find himself hired
10 the cold and the heat, the rain
and the snow
Similarly. each of the other OBJ
iections dissolyes itself when
stirred into a little reason. No
body in Washington looks down on
the man teacher. On the contrary,
he is a guest OF distinction wherever
he goes. and is respected as one
who performs a great service for
the state at rate of pay entirely

NEW YORK. Ma 7.-Becauss young

down IN the class room. The lives Of all
in the institution were meaaced. II was
only by strenuous work Of the fire de-
partment that the buildings were saved.
The professor was about 20 illustrate
a knotty problem in the laboratory when
he noticed that the current on the large
dynamo was too strong. He asked Mr.
Billings, student. 10 go 10 the base
ment and reduce the current Billings
turned the switch on and sent the full
current through tho wires TO the ap-
paratus in the laboratory.
The shock to the professor and his
class was terrific. The rubber Ursula
tor was burned OF tho wires in a
twiaKling, and tongues Of flame leaned
from the Machine The woodwork Of
the room was set ablaze. and the in
structor ana his pupils were unconscious
on the floor when Billings returned He
spread the alarm and aided IN saving
