.AssIMllA1INGn PORTO RICO.

A plan, or perhaps a discovery by
experiment, in the military occupation
of Porto Rico seems to offer opportun-
ity in the Philippines In Porto Rico
two battalions. or eight companies of
native troops at an annual cost of
$150,000, are maintained by the United
States. The higher officers Of the
force are all Americans, and those
under the rank of captain are mostly
Porto Ricans. The enlisted men are
all natives of the island. 1t is pointed
out that this force has been most eff
fective, not only in keeping the peace.
but as civilizing and industrial in
f1uence. The men serve out their time
and go home with an education of dis
cipline, white mans ways, and respect
for labor and a desire for the fruits Of
labor.
The native police among the Amer
lean Indians learn the same lesson
and teach 1t to their tribes. The
army is not the best school for a young
white man whose opportunities are in
finite in a white mans country, but 1t
is an excellent educator for a NEST.
He learns things. While in the serv-
ice he must live like a white man
and when he goes home his education
counts.
1t looks like a good thing. If it
works we'll in Porto Rico 1t should
work we'll in the Philippines. The
appropriation should be increased and
extended. The first lesson for saw
age is discipline.

DR.. Parker wishes a better name
for his and other churches and Of
this we speak elsewhere. but his theme
was a broader church platform. He
would have q free church; instead of
merging few minor subdivisions, he
would have all churches welcome on
an equality; he would have creeds
and covenants rewritten and simpli-
fed: the communion table should be
open to all who wish to attend ,bap
tism should be administered as may
be desired, the rite itself and its meth
cd being non essentials; Joining the
church" should be less formal, and
other notifications in worship should
come in-all tending to greater fndi-
vidual freedom.
This may SILVER some readers. but
it will warm the hearts of ten to one
that is disturbed and 1t will strike
welcome note to multitude as 1t
breaks down the barriers of formal
ity. ;. Well may we call his beautiful
ideal "Al1 Souls Church"

R0eRLINes,s MOVING DAY.

The decision Of John A.. Roebling,
the millionaire son of the Brooklyn
bridge builder, to abandon his resi-
dence at Asheville. N. ;, and give away
his magnificent mansion there nearly
complete to the Home Mission board Of
the Presbyterian church, is admitted
frankly by Mr.. Roebling to be due to
the recent vote Of the place for prohi-
bition. He has spent ten years in
Asheville and has put half a million
dollars into his estate adjoining Bilt-
more, the Vanderbilt establishment,
but now says that he will not live in a
town that abridges personal liberty in
this way. He speaks Of the harmony
and good feeling that has characterized
Asheville and Of It's hospitable and
progressive citizens all working to-
gether to make this the great resort
town Of the SOUTH" Then continues:
''Now there has come a discordant
note. strange philosophy is being
preached among us. We are told that
grown men are unsuited to be the
judges Of their own personal habits.
y To drink alcoholic liquor is not
wrong per Sc from any point of view.
Therefore to sell such liquor is not
wrong per Sc. Prohibition is an at
tempt to declare thing wrong which
is not wrong"
Mr., Roebling will And many to agree
and disagree with him in his conclu-
sions as to alcoholic liquors. How
ever this point seems to have been
decided by majority sentiment in
Asheville, and not Il part of the dis
cussion. The point Is that Mr.. Roeb-
ling is going to move unless he can be
a majority in himself. He is going to
be horse or not play vote the dollars
his father made against the franchises
Of the people Of the community, or
quit. He has lived in Asheville ten
years and spent million, but that
doesn't give him a license to dictate
public action more than tenyear
residence at a million a year in Iowa
would put him in the place of the

are needed over the county schools
quite as much as over those of city
wards Had it gone farther and in
Guided the state office it might have
been within the bounds Of reason, tho
the latter office has always been fairly
Well filled in Iowa. However, as to
the county superintendency there is
no doubt of the need of new deal,
one that will afford better organize
ton of the state as a whole and permit
the carrying out of a general system
of education.
The office of county superintendent
has been political trading stock too
long. Under the present system many
good men and women have been
elected to the office, and it has often
been pawned to make sheriff or a
county clerk. The county superintend-
ent has considered himself and his
county complete and has felt too little
statewide educative plan. OF late
years we have progressed rapidly to-
ward better and broader system.
The recommendation of the State
Teachers association is another step
in the right direction.
