EDUCATION.

Education seems to be an elusive
and subtle thing according to the
different views of many persons in
regard to il.
People in every walk in life deem
education an essential to the proper
development of the individual and a
safeguard to the liberties of any peo
pie. Hence, something of such
importance affecting the welfare of
the human race, is regarded in many
different and peculiar ways.
The man whose paramount object
in life is wealth, will affirm his belief
in a course of training for his boys
which will endow them with the
faculty to obtain money. This will
be the central thought around which
all the structure of life is built. To
him the purpose of life is money
first while all else is incidental.
His daughters will be taught the
value of certain limited society;
the proper manner of dress according
AOthe regulations of that society," Its
d.licate etiquette, suave manners
.,;shsd conceitedness fixed by
custom and continued BY habit.
The education of such persons is
DEBATED by the almighty dollar.

Cheaper owing TO Protection

The steady reduction in the price
of cement to the consumer, together
with its marvulous growth as a pro-
tected industry, is another proof
that encouragement in producing
means ultimate cheapness. Here
is an industry that was in its infancy
at the time the Mckinley law be-
came operative. Foreign cement
was restricted to certain features in
building because of the high price
of Sz.I3 per barrel. Before the
Mckinley act the duty was for
revenue, as the home production
was small and foreign cement was
about all that was consumed here.
This duty, laid fer revenue, was
encouragement however, to the
American producer, and by the
time the Dingley law became
operative the home production
amounted to 2,671775 barrels, with
the price fallen from $a.I3 per
barrel 10 $G,6I. The domestic
production continued to increase
under the Dingley law, until today
1t is 4S, 1856, $50 barrels for year,
and the price is down to SI.II per
barrel with the prospects of its so;
ing below the dollar mark. It's use
has been increased thereby, and its
employment as cheap substitute
for wood throughout building opera
tions, in addition to its original uses,
is universal American Economist

Mob Thirsts for Blood OF
SLAYER.

Des Moines, Ia, May 24.-The
little town of Centerville is tonight
filled with excited people come to
attend the trial of the negro John
Junken, the self-Gonfessed slayer of
Clara Rosen, an Ottumwa choir
singer. Junken crushed the girls
face with a stone and then assaulted
her after having trailed her from
her SISTERS home to lonly spot.
There is open talk of lynchine
tonight, and scouts from Ottumwa
are in the town to make the neces-
sary preparations to lynch nken
If the jury should fail to infict the
death penalty.
Never has Iowa been so excited
oyer murder trial. 1t is argued
that the numerous combinations OF
sentences in the past week have had
a bad effect on the criminal class o
negroes as a result at least seven
cases of criminal assault and murder
are charged to Ottumwa alone with
in the last three years.
1t is the general opinion that
Junken must pay the death penalty
for his crime or there will be ar
exhibition of brute revenge which
will be, anything but credit to the
state. Sheriff Clark has stationed
six special officers In the Jail to pro
tect the negro. A corps of deputie
with shot guns is patrolling th'
streets to keep order. The tria
will open before Judge M. E

CUBA AGAIN IN TROUBLE.

Cuba political disturbances bear
a striking resemblance to the cll-
matte changes in the tropical zone.
lust when the skies are fairest, the
air balm,est and nature wears her
most enticing smile, violent storm
will spring up in an incredibly short
lime and subside as suddenly as 1t
| came. In this brief period, how
ever, it may dovast damage. Cuban
political storms strike out OF clear
.skies. Atnoon on January 28, I9 19,
less than four months ago, the re-
public of Cuba was re,established
under most auspicious circumstan'
ees. At that time Charles E. Ma
COON, the provisional governor, re-
Iinouished the reins of authority to
the newly elected Cuban officials.
Today Cuba is in turmoil and
our own government has made plans
for a third Intervention and reoccu
patton of the island. Cuba is now
struggling in financial tangle that
is getting worse daily. Our own
tntetests make it Imperative that we
step in and save the inhabitants from
themselves. Otherwise it would be
good policy to let the Cubans hight
their own battles for littl, while
longer. The third occupation VIII
probably be In the nature of a dlrec
torate with as little military show as
possible. But there are those who
predict freely that when our flag Is
again hauled up above the Havana
palace It will stay there.
By all the canons of international
Justice the Ualted States has been
good to Cuba, and many of the
Cubans-a majority, in fact-recog
nize this. In speech on the anti
alien bill in the lower house OF the
Cuban congress, March S, Repre-
sentative Viondi declared that the
attitude of the Washington govern
ment towards Cuba in the two prevl'
s Gus interventions was without
parallel in the history Of the worlo
: Examples which would forever
!, illuminate the pages of history, and
immortalize the name of the great
republic" Other members Of the
house also took that occasion to
eulogize the United States. The
leading newspapers of the republic
have glowed with praise of our army
i, of occupation, our civil officers and
our CONSULTED flag"
1t is a matter of regret to the
American people that the conditions
of peace and prosperity of the Cub
p an republic on January 20 did not
continue. The United States does
not want Cuba, but it may have to
, exercise wise and steady directo
rate over its fortunes for a few more
= years. After course In popular
q education, the existence of schools
and the passing of the anlmosities OF
the revolution, Cuba may be given
more latitude and gradually learn to
govern itself.-Kansas City Journal.

AN INDIAN MEMORIAL.


White man. greetingl We, near whose bones
you stand, were Iroquois
The wide land which now is yours was ours
Friendly hands have given back to us enough
for tomb
This pathetic inscription is upon
a plain slab OF white marble which
marks the site of the ancient burial
ground of the Iroquois Indians In
upper New York. 1t was placed
there at the expense of the man who
owns the land, and the touching
simplicity uf the words have sug-
pes,ed to Rodman Wanamaker and
some of his wealthy associates
project for ,llosal Indian mem
orial to be erected in New York
harbor opposite the famous figure of
"Liberty Eulghtening the World"
There i, something SO obviously
appropriate about this idea that it
probably will receive the approval
of the entire country. 1t has aroused
an encouraging degree of enthusl-
asm in the Fast. Here in the
West we have heard very li.ile OF
the project as yet, but if the move
ment is made national In scope we
will doubtless have our share tn the
enterprise. The people of the
trans-Mississippi West have long
since lost their very natural animos-
lty towards the Indians of the plains,
who in their attitude toward the
white INVASION were very different
from the red men of the Atlantic
coast. We are viewing the Indian
from a more generous angle of late
wears and we realize more and more
as time ameliorates the bitter mem
ores of other days that the sayages
IN many instances were badly treated.
The Indians of New York and New
England were more worthy charac-
ters than the terrible Apaches or the
cruel Black Feet.
But a broad and creditable na-
tional sentiment must certainly ap
prove of the movement to do some
thing to memoriallze this gift of a
continent to the white strangers from
over the seas. To call it gift
softens the character of the trans
action. The "wide land" which is
new ours was once theirs, and the
race of original Americans has strag-
gled IN a pathetic procession toward
the setting sun. By all mean lei
the new Americans erect great anc
majestic memorial to the American
Indian. And no more appropriate
place suggests itself than New York
harbor, where it would be seen by
the strangers who come to our shores
and would be perpetual reminder
to our own people of the debt we
owe the ignorant, simple children ot
the woods and prairies who me-
slau ghter with slaughterand betraya
with betrayal. Let us remember the
good as we'll as the bad in the Indian
and set up a grand memorial tc
idealize vanished people. .-Kansa'
