South and West, the only kind OF In

Minnesota, New Jersy, New York,

Missouri inspection Is also carried on
voluntarily by the state university.

absolutely nothing to do with his ap-

NEED OF OFFICIAL
HIGH SCHOOL INSPECTION
SALEM SCHOOL SUGGESTS ADVANCED IDEA
FOR HIGH ToN-SHOULD NOT ONLY BE
PREPARATIONS COLLIE GE.

City Superintendent Of Schools, j.
M. Powers, in a speech at the meet
ing OF the state teachers at Eugene
today, recommended more eff
iicient inspection of the work done
in the high schools Of the state, He
recommends that there should be an
Inspector appointed-one who has
no connection with politics, but who
is named for his ability alone. Mr..
Powers also suggested that this In
spector should see that the course In
high schools OF the state should be
a complete course in itself. rather
than 1t seems is the tendency at pres
ent of making the high school mere
Iy a preparatory to the university.
The remarks of Mr.. Powers at the
meeting in Eugene are about as fol-
lows:
Before entering into a discussion
of this subject, / desire first to men
tion the fact that the schools of Or
egon receive about nine tenths OF
their support from county and local
taxes, and but one tenth from the
state. This fact will largely deter
mine the success or failure OF the
state in any attempt to exercise any
considerable degree of control over
Its public schools. 1t would seem
that before the state assumes to any
great extent the direction and man
agement OF the schools, 1t should
subsldize these schools. This sug-
gests the urgent need for some sys-
TEN of taxation which will furnish
additional revenue for the public
schools without increasing the bur-
dens OF the majority OF present tax
payers. a matter which has received
due consideration In other discus
sions at this convention.
Statistics recently gathered by the
state superintendent show that there
are at present 35 four-year high
schools in this state. enrolling six
thousand one hundred and slxty-slx
students, and graduating in June,
1908, 1877 students; that there are
15 three-yehr high schools, en-
rolling 800 students, and graduating
II; that there are 81 two-year high
schools. enrolling 622, and gradual
ing 214 students; and there are 40
one-year high schools, enrolling 400
students, and graduating 225. AS
suming that the three-year high
schools will quickly add another
year to their courses, the total num-
ber of bonafide high schools In the
state may be fixed at so. For these
so schools 1t is proposed to estab-
lish a system OF Official inspection
and Classification.

Tin Plate in America,

It is little strange that Mr. McGilli-
cuddy should have seen fit to have
made an allusion to tin plate in his
recent tariff speech for no article
clearly illustrates in it's history the
value of the protective tariff in build
ing up and maintaining American in
dustry and American labor
Prior to the time the Mckinley law
went into effect, July 1, 1891, all the
tin plate used in this country was i'm
ported from Wales. The producers of
that country having a monopoly of our
trade, entered into an understanding
among themselves, which virtually
amounted to the formation of trust,
to fix the price of tin plate to our con-
sumers. In 1890 we imported from
Wales 329. 435 long tons (2,240 pounds
each) of tin plate. For this we paid
the manufacturers of Wales $20.-
100000. This money was with
drawn from circulation in this
country and put into circulation in
Great Britain. This is what always
harpens when we send money out of
this country to purchase articles that,
with proper protection can just as we'll
be produced at home.
The Mckinley tariff put a protective
duty of 90 cents upon tin plate with
the result that American capital and
American labor entered at once upon
the great work of developing the vast
natural deposits of tin in this country
Big mines were opened and extensive
factories built, with the result that
American tin plate came rapidly into
general use, and was soon selling al
materially lower prices than had for.
merly been exacted by the trust in
Wales.
The manufacture of tin plate in this
country in 1907 reached the enormous
ports from Wales in that year were
orly 4,651,332 pounds. To this notable
extent has the development of this
great American industry kept at home
and in American circulation, employ.
ing American labor in the mines, in tn.
factories and on the railroads, many
millions of dollars that formerly wen
abroad. The American farmer, thu
American merchant and in fact th'
community generally have shared il
the increased market for products ant
services, that has been secured b!
| keeping at home the vast capital EN-
| ployed in this business. and which
| formerly went abroad.

The fact of the matter is that the
Democrats are chasing rainbows They
have no roaSonab1 prospect of carry
ing the State or a single congressiOn-
al district, while as for this country
they are banking too much on the re-
suit of Sheriff Pencils whirlWind
campaign two years ago. when he
speeded over the county in his auto,
spoke at every croSSroad and in every
hamlet, and succeeded in carrying
Portland by rising 600 plurality and the
county by little over 500. He could
not have done it without Republican
aid, and that aid is not to be forth
coming this year. Mr.. Penncll is out
of it. He lost interest in politics, ap-
parcntly, when the Republicans car
ried Portland last December Ivy 100,
and while like David b. Hill he is still a
Democrat. he is very still Democrat.
the prediction that the Republicans
will carry the State by $4,000 is con-
servative. The year 1906 was an off
year. in which local issues were promi-
nent This is the year of the national
election. and there are larger things
at stake. While the phenomenal plu-
ralities of 1896 and 1900 are not expected

The "Taft Democrats"
ISpringfield Republican.)


The appearance of Taft democrats
here and there, but more especially
perhaps in the East and the South,
raises the question how much they
resemble the Roosevelt democrats,
who have been so much in evidence
in recent years. a close study of the
two breeds might prove somewhat
enlightcning. Judging entirely from
a superficial observation, it seems evil
dent that Taft democrats and
Roosevelt democrats" come from en-
tirely different atmospheres and have
entirely different ideals in politics.
The democrats whom Mr.. Roosevelt
drew into his following were radicals
from the Bryan wing of the demo-
cratic party who helped to snow
under Judge Parker so terribly in
1904 The democrats Mr. Taft now
attracts are largely conservatives
from the wing of the democracy that
has always regarded Bryan with
aversion and which blames him for
supporting Mr.. Roosevelt's radical
policies. Mr.. Taft. in short, is at
tracing conservative support. as
compared with his rival. If Mr.
Roosevelt can hold for Mr.. Taft the
Roosevelt democrats while the
candidate himself draws the Taft
democrats" the combination viii
prove one of the most irresistible ir
American history.

Southern States to d new political align

was lust one solitary Republican mem
ger elected from the State of Missouri.
The Fifty ninth Congress was chosen in
the last presidential election year-lsOf.
In that year nine out of the sixteen
congressional districts of Missouri elected
Republican representatives. To the Six
tieth Congress. which expires on the 4th
of next March, four Republicans were
sent from Missouri districts, The record
is of a nature to demonstrate that Mis-
souri, is dcbatable territory in congress

Southern states which have broken away

cratic delegations to the national Con-
gress Tennessee has been represented
by Republicans from the First and Sec
ond congressional districts continuously

Congress there was one Republican from
a Kentucky district. in the Fifty ninth
there were two Republicans in the House
of Representatives from the Blue Grass
State and in the SiXtieth Congress four
Kentucky districts were represented by

times successfully, and North Carolina
elected one Republican Congressman in
1904. In the SiXtieth Congress there are
Just eleven Republican representatives

and Oklahoma are to be reckoned as
Southern States. there are fifteen all told.
There is a reasonable proba bility that
a greater number of Republican con-

| in any previous congressional election
year. Chairman Hitchcock is acting with
discriminating good judgment in deter

Same Old Bluff.
(Biddcford Journal.)


Democratic Candidate for Congress
John Clark Scates is touring York
county in an automobile in the inter-
est of his ticket He is reported to be
satisfied with the outlook in Cumbcr-
land county and confident that he can
bring the voters of York county around
to his way of thinking. Such assur-
ance is either born of ignorance, or 1t
is bluff pure and simple. At this dis
tance it looks like bluff the same old
one that was put up by Mr.. Hamlen
two years ago. Mr. Hamlen is as good
man as Mr. Scates; he toured his dis
trict in an automobiles; he assured all
and several that he was the Moses pre-
ordained to lead the people of York
county out of the Republican wilder
ness into the Democratic Promised
Land flowing with milk and honey.
How Mr.. Hamlen failed is matter of
record; the degree Of Mr.. Scates' sue
cess can be easily read in the stars of
the political firmanent. He Will find
the highways of York county up to the
average, hut the road to the goal of his
he has ever Travelled. and certain page
in Mr.. Hamlcns brief political history
will be repeated in his own case. Mr..

who accompany him, but his bluff is

1t is for him therefore to vote his
ticket this year regardless of where
the benefit temporarily falls. he Is
very certain that in 1872 his party
will win. That is his goal.

Over in Androscouuin.


How easy it is for the Democrats to
rant about honesty and virtue in pub
lie office when they are on the outside
trying to get in. How suddenly and
completely they forget their pledges
and their high ideals when once they
have cajoled the public into trusting
them with office. Loud and long has
been the virtuous protest of the Demo-
Gratis against Republicans in Office who
ment Of their party affairs Their
righteous indigna ton has been burning
in it's intensity as they have begged for
votes in order that they might occupy
the Offices themselves and thus have an
opportunity to show how Office hold
ing and politics should be completely
divorced.
Well, in two or three counties over
the state the people have made the
mistake Of giving the Democrats this
opportunity-a mistake which will be
rectified with significant emphasis at
the coming election. In these two or
three counties are the Democratic Of
flee holders attending to the duties Of
most if not all of their time and ener
gy to Democratic politics? The ques
ton has but one answer from anybody
who knows the conditions, and it IS
not an answer that the Democrats are
at all anxious to have shouted from the
house tops. 1t exposes completely the

At the next session of the Maine Leg
islature organized labor will concen-
trate it's energies on the passage of
5S-hcur law for women and children
employed in workshops and factories.
Labor wishes other reforms but it be-
leves that better results are to be Sc
cured by going after one thing at a
time. That is why this years Repub-
lican platform confines itself to rec
ommendation to the Legislature to
take up the 5S-hour matter. The plank
was written by a labor leader serving
as delegate to the Republican State
convention at Bangor and it embodies
the Views OF organized labor Labor
knows that it is through the majority
party that reforms must come and
since the majority party has permitted
labor to write it's own plank for 1908.
Democratic attempts to make labor
believe that it was sighted by the Re-
publicans will have no weight. The
coming winters campaign for labor
is the passage of the 5S-hour bill and
in Lewiston and Auburn the Republi-
cans have nominated as their can
didates for the House union leaders
who will marshal the forces of reform
in the Legislature.
