WHY Taft viii Be Elected.

A correspondent OF the Chicago In
ter Ocean, who has been at Denver
during the democratic convention
taking notes, in summing up a brief
comparison between the candidates OF
the two great parties says that "so
far as private life goes Bryan is the
peer of Taft. Both men are above re.
proach in that respect. They are
chaste and wholesome. So much fol
Mr.. Bryan. What of Taft? AL
though pictured as the "heir appar.
ent" to the White House, the coun-
try, 1t Is conceded by the unbiased
mind, will recognize in Mr.. Taft an
eminently qualified man In his own
right. No man, perhaps, ever aspired
to the presidency who had more in
innate acquaintance with all the
functions of the government, particu-
larly just at this time, than Mr.. Taft.
He knows the Philippines at first
hand. He knows Japan and the Pa
cific and Hawaii and Porto Rico an6
Cuba and Panama. He does not have
to rely on the reports Of his secre-
taries. He knows the places himself,
the peculiar conditions that have to
be met, and especially the innermost
secrets of the war office with respect
to the land Of the rising sun. The
Mikado cannot fool Mr.. Taft. There
is not an important aspect, perhaps,
of the foreign situation, insofar as
the United States is vitality concerned
with which the secretary is not fam
iliar. So far as being equipped goes,
he looms like a giant. If the world
politics is written on the pacific in the
next four years, Mr.. Taft as president
would have the advantage of knowing
the situation at once.

A Solid Hitching Post.

while discussing stones and boulders
on the prairie, said he had the best
hitching post In the State of Iowa,
when he lived in that state. He told
of finding nice fiat rock about four
feet square on top and his friends ad-
vised him to dig it up and get 1t out
Of the corn field. He commenced Dig
ging and after getting down Is feet
found the bottom. After much labor
with the aid of machinery he removed
the stone to place in his yard and
used it for hitching post. Some of
the boys wanted to know how much
that post cost him but he said the
matter of expense was not considered
or estimated, he wanted a solid post
and got one that suited him.

Resolutions Passed by County Super
intendents in Convention As
sembled at Rapid City,
S. D., July 22-23
of Public granted.

To the Superintendent OF Public
Instruction, South Dakota:
We, your committee, appointed by
you at Canton on July 3, 1907, for
the purpose of considering ways and
means of introducing practical In
struction in agriculture and other
forms of industrial work into our
public schools, particularly the rural
schools of the state beg to submit the
following:
We believe the only true educa-
tion for the country child is that
which will fit him for a we'll rounded
and successful life in the country.
We believe the state should see to it
that he receives every advantage
which will tend to produce in him a
desire to work intelligently and sue
cessfully in his environment. There
fore, we would recommend to you
lst. That each school follow and
demonstrate list of experiments
and exercises provided by the office
of the department of education,
through the county superintendent
and report the same to him at the
close of the school year or at some
stated time during the year.
End. That each county shall hold
contests in the different lines of this
work at some central place in the
county at least once each year, when
prizes shall be awarded to those who
excel in the different lines of work,
and that a number of counties shall
be termed district where contests
and exhibits from the several coun-
ties shall be held: and further that
the prize winners in the district con-
tests shall be eligible to enter a
state contest conducted under the
direct supervision of the ,state de-
partment of instruction.
3rd. That the whole course of this
work shall be supervised directly
by the superintendent of public in
struction and his staff, thereby max
ing it uniform throughout the state
as far as the resources of the differ
ent localities will permit.
= 4th. That course of industrial
work shall be definitely prescribed
and that each pupil be required to
present certificates testifying to a
certain number of credits in the work
before rural school diploma shall be

| granted.
5th. We would further recommend
that steps be taken to establish ar
agricultural and industrial school
in each county in the state and
would suggest that the county poor
farm which is found in many counties
be used as an experiment farm for
that purpose.
9th. That the county superinten-
dents of the state be requested to use
their influence with the members OF
the legislature from their respective
counties to obtain an appropriation of
money sufficient to enable the Super
intendent of Public instruction to
carry on this work.
We believe that this work when
put before the people through the
medium of the. public schools will not
only make better farmers but by SC
doing be a source of economy by max
ing the same amount of labor produce
vastly greater results.

| The committee on resolutions made
their report, which was adopted.
We believe in the improvement and
uplifting Of the country schools, and
as means to this end we wish to en-
phasize:
First. The need of more men in
the teaching force.
Second, Better wages for better
work
Third. Better preparation on the
part of the teacher.
We believe the scarcity of teachers
to be largely the result of
First. The average short term OF
work with its many and endless vaca-
tions.
Second. The difficulty in securing
convenient or desirable boarding
places.
Third. The low wages generally
paid.
Fourth. The requiring of the jan
itor work to be done by the teacher.
Fifth. The poor equipment in
most country schools in the matter
of heating, water supply, blackboa rds
and other supplies.

there is no necessity for such dread

campment for Salt Lake without es-

to it that at least it is well represented
there. The right kind of men will like

the men who fought the battles of the
republic have not the financial means
to make the trip without feeling the
burden. They should be given assist

PAILRoAD PRESIDENT sALKs.

President James McCrea of the Penn
sylvania railroad is having trouble with
the directors of the company on ac-
count of his policy of retrenchment
For some time past the business of the
road has been poor and thousands OF
men have been laid Off More recently
a committee was sent out over the lines
to look over the volume of business be-
ing done and compare it with the num-
Der Of men employed to do it, There
was one member of the committee for
each branch of the employees and when
their task had been performed they in
formed President McCrea that an ad-
ditional 1000 men could be let go and
the interests of the company not suffer
Because OF this the directors of the

coming election by making matters APP

insist that he put all the men who were
laid off some time ago back to work.
thus giving the road at least an air of
prosperity. McCrea refuses, and the
rumor is afoat that he intends to re-
sign.
President McCrea is a hard-headed
Scotchman who has worked his way up
from rodmau to the position he now
occupies. Evidently he does not belong
to the Republican Sunshine club, whose
chief object is to make the people of the
east believe that prosperity has re-
turned, and has promised to remain If
Taft is elected. Ii will be remembered
that the good Brother Baer raised the
wages of the coal miners on the eve
Hanna. for political purposes, and
pleaded that fact when the government
brought suit against his company. a
suit, by the way, of which we have
heard nothing since the filing of the
Baer brief.
President McCrea isn't mixing poll
tics with his business, and so far as
the Pennsylvania railroad is concerned
few thousand men whose services are
not needed will not be given employ
ment until after election just to keep
up appearances.
And so the bottom of the once full
dinner pals of the thousands of en-
ployes of the Pennsylvania has fallen
out.
