BY ARROGANT executive dlctatlOn
and callous spurning of every de-
cent political method, by the
lavish expenditure of ancestral
wealth, William H. Taft, of Ohio,
has been named as the presiden-
tial candidate by Republican ap-
pointees of the party's sole pro-
prietor. 1t will astound if the re
suit he his election. He will have
as his opponent Democrat for
whom the plain people cherish a
personal affection and in whom
they have an unassailable faith.
There will be a platform reaching
right into the core of the popular
demand, while departing meyer
from firm adherence to the princi-
plies whose subversion would por.
tend disruption of the Republic.
By this affirmative strength of
Democracy's candidate and decla-
rations Taft is doomed. His over
whelming defeat is further as
sured by the unparalleled cata-
logue of troubles within his own
party and his individual political
blunders and tactless conduct. His
chief claim upon recognition has
been Philippine control, and yet
insular matters are minimized in
the platform, ae if dangerous. He
never held an elective office, but
was always the seductive compsn-
ion of appointive power. His
judicial career lie solely marked by
acts which he has sought to con-
done to coddle insulted labor. As
the adjuster, not the large states
man of original thought, Taft has
been the genial member of Govern
ment groups.
His nomination falls dull on the
popular enthusiasm. He has alien
ated the negro vote, decisive in
several States. In his two chan
nels, military and insular, he has
erected no ideal for the people,
and he appears only as the patient,
obedient, placating servant of an
imperious master. He dare not
depart from the code of instruc-
tions without insuring instant rep
rimand, and throughout the can
vass he will be unable to emerge
from the harness he wears.

Some School Laws.


only casually observed the school
Legislation Of the session to know
that there are twenny-one meas
ures directly effecting the public
education of the state passed dur
ing the session.
One of them requires boards of
education to fill vacancies in board
at once and when board fails to
provide for the pay of teacher
the county com missioners shall pay
the teacher out of the general
county funds and deduct the
amount from the board quota.
One new law absolutely requires
elementary schools to be operated
not less than 32 weeks in the year.
Forty-five thousand dollars was
appropriated for the aid of weak
districts but in was taken from the
common school fund. Where a
school board has selected deposit
tory the treasurer of the board
may be abolished.
Members of rural school boards
may receive SO for each meeting at
tended not exceeding ten meetings d
year and city board members may
be paid their actual expenses. Tea
chers attending Institutes during
vacation may be paid SO per day
for from 4 to 6 days. Text books
may now be adoped any time be-
twee the first Monday in August
and the first Monday February to
run for years. To substitute other
books at other times requires five
sixth vote of the board. Superin-
tendents, principals and snpervis-
ors are forbidden to act as agents
for book concerns.
The truant officer is now requir-
ed to reI ort to tie president of the
board of education all cases of chill
dren unable to attend school on ac-
count of poverty. The board is
required to provide the necessaries.
All teachers are required to spend
not less than ten minutes each

The law governing the granting
of certificates has been materially
changed. Professional certificates.
that is certificates. valid for five
or eight years are valid in any coun-
ty in the state. No indorsemen t
by examiners is necessary. Ger
tificates for one and three years
"shall be issued and renewed only
on compliance with such reasonable
regulations and standards and
upon such ratios as the board may
adopt" Certificates valid for
two and three are renewable on ex-
animation in theory and practice.
Boards of examiners may issue cer-
tificates without formal examina-
ton to holders of certificates
granted by other comfy and city
boards of school examiners. Each
county board may make it's own
rules to grant certificates without
formal examination.
We mention only those laws we
deemed of interest to our readers,
those omitted dealing largely with
city schools.

A Man of Straw.

Louisville. KY, June 19-Henry
Watterson, in the Courier-Journal
says of the Republican platform
and candidate:
"a mess of pottage and man
of straw.
"Upon a platform of imposture,
largely constructed out of timbers
stolen from Mr.. Bryan's backyard,
the Republican party has set a
man of straw, very .portly and
pleasing man of straw, and has
said to the voters:
"Behold in William H. Taft the
counterfeit presentm ent of Theo-
dore Roosevelt
"The answer which the voters
are likely to make in November
may be found in the first chapter
of the Horn-Book of common
sense, which translated from the
original Vulgate into modern En-
glish reads: The voice is Roose-
velt's voice, but the hands are the
hands of Rockefeller
"Thus after many centuries we
have the recurrence of u famous
passage of Holy Writ made politl-
cal and brought to date in the last
instance as In the first, great
fraud and a mess of pottage, play
