welt, addressed to Mr.. Hartman, as
a result of which the railroad mag.
nate raised 100000, a considerable
part of which he put up himself, to
carry New York, which the republican
candidate considered in danger at the
eleventh hour
Mr.. Hartman is supposed to be the
representative of the Rockefellers in
the railroad world, hut 100000 from
him, as he is himself a magnate of
such high degree. is not sufficient to
connect the president with Standard
OH.
The World asserts that during the
campaign of 1904, Standard Oil having
ignored the circular request for
funds, Mr.. Cortelyon made an appoint
ment with Mr. Rogers, which was
kept by Mr.. Bliss, the campaign treas
urer Mr.. Bliss is reported to have
said that Roosevelt's first administra-
ton was constructive" but his Sec
ond would be conservative" There
upon Mr. Rogers and Mr.. .Archbold
made contribution of 100000.
The World continues: This contri-
button coming to the knowledge of
President Roosevelt, he wrote to
Chairman Cortelyou violent letter,
denouncing the Standard Oil company
and directing the return of the con-
tribution This letter is on Mr. Cor
telyou's file, and copy of it is kept
by President Roosevelt for the pur-
pose of making it public if ever the
facts of this Standard Oil contribution
became known. The contribution was
not returned. Not one cent was paid
back The same was used, SO far as
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Archbold know,
in like manner with other contribu-
tons"
Later in the campaign a request, it
is stated, was made for s250000 more
from Standard Oil, which was turned
down by Mr., Rogers on the ground
that Mr.. Roosevelt was seemingly
trying on the one hand to secure con-
tributions from the Standard Oil COM
pany, and on the other hand to make
political capital by denouncing the
company"
MI Roosevelt should answer the
Worlds charges.
Certainly, if Taft is Roosevelt's heir
apparent and the republican candidate
by the will of Roosevelt, and Roose-
welt was elected by Standard Oil
contributions, Mr. Taft owes it to the
country to state that the Taft cam
paign has not been, and will not be,
boosted by any contributions from
this corrupt source.-Houston Chron-

payers, to supplement the state fund.
This two-thirds vote and the low linn
itation of tax allowed, combine to
prevent the adoption of plans for the
betterment of these unfortunate con-
ditions. They prevent the erection
of better school houses, the employ
ment of ADLER teachers, the lengthen-
ing of terms, the furnishing of IL
braries. In short, they paralyze the
schools, and keep Texas, despite her
boosted great public school endow-
ment, very close down to the foot of
the list of states in all worthy and
desirable school conditions.

sity and sacrifice of productive capac
ity which can never be estimated"
Note the statistical facts following
1. During the past school year 81,
3332 children residing in the country
districts did not enter school.
2. There was an average daily alb
scene from the country schools OF
262,946 children.
8. Of every 100 children residing
in the country schools, Al were out
of the school during their entire ses-
sion
4. While there are two and one
third times as many children in the
country districts as are in the towns
and cities, yet the school houses and
grounds in the towns and cities cost
two and one-half times as much as
they cost in the country districts.
5. In towns and cities $36.17 have
been spent for each child's education;
in the country, $6.05.
6. Every Independent district in
Texas except two has a library aver
aging 265 volumes, while S,701 country
districts with 59O,990 children are
without one library.
z. There are SAT country districts
with libraries that average z vol
umes.
8. Worse, perhaps, than all this, is
the low state of educational public
sentiment in many country districts
which should rouse the patriotic por-
ton of our people and effectually call
for their help.
The state gives this year s6.75 to
each enumerated scholastic child.
But this shall be used for the support
of the schools The constitution at
present authorizes the levy of not
more than 20 cents on the one hun
dred dollars valuation, by a two-thirds
vote of the property tax
