senator CullOm Draws n Picture
Around the Negro.

Shelby VI. Cullom. Senator from Iii
nois. made the statement yesterday that
II the negro were eliminated from poll
ties I'm the South every Southern State
would come into the Republican column.
Mir Cullom, however. made plain he
was not in favor Of disfranchising the
negro
He said he had voted for the fifteenth
amendment and also favored the passage
of the civil rights BILL and did not believe
in curtailing any Of the privileges which
negroes now have. In other words, he is
in favor Of treating them as citizens on
an equality with other citizens
II am satisfied, " said Mr. Cullom. that
If the negro were not a factor in politics
in the South there would not be State
in that section which would not be in line
with our party, and which would not
support our candidates and their princi-

the critics feel is necessary. The pupil
Is impressed with the evolutionary posi-
bilities of his recitation and is carefully
instructed as to enunciation and phrasing.
The grammatical construction Of the
sentences, the spelling Of the difficult
words, and the value Of synonyms, an
tonyms, and the like are usually passed
over.
So 1t is that pupils viii read Dickens en-
trancing Christmas Carol" Hawthorne's
Snow Maiden" and Longfellow's Evan
geline' as a pleasure-seeking individual
might read them. They peruse tho sto-
ries, passing over complicated sentences
and words and finish them, it is said
without having mastered the vocabulary
offered or the rules Of construction.
With a 3,000-word spelling book as
basis Of eight years Of spelling 1t is the
contention Of critics that the schools
should devote more time 10 the mastery
Of words in the high schools. Instead of
this the pupil takes up a classical course
which allows him but one period a week

/ OF 70 is considered sufficient. This means
/ that out Of fifty words a pupil can miss

In the st. Paul mine early today, eff

temporarily abandoned while a battle
was begun to check a fire that again
threatened the main shaft. If efforts
to control the fire are not successful
early tomorrow, il Is probable the mine
again will be sealed and will remain
SO for weeks, IL not months.
Today flames from the fire in the
second Vein. $40 feet below the surface,
had swept 30 feet up the main shaft.
Then the fire was forced back. Mine
Manager Talyor says that destruction
minent and with it will go the only
possibility of removing bodies That
no men survive in the mine is now
generally conceded, even by the most
optimistic.
The only part of the mine as We, un-
explored. and in which living men pos
sibly could be found. Is the cast work
ing of the second vein. at the entrance
of which the fire is burning ficrcely.
Twice rescuing parties that have ven-
tured past the fire area have been
temporarily cut off BY the flames and
Rescued with difficulty. No further
attempt To venture into the fire zone
will be made until the fire is extIn<
guished. which may be work Of days.
