In our issue of two weeks ago
we made brief comment on the
plan of merging the public school
and the Normal at Springfield, and
said: "The plan to merge tho pub
lie schools at Springfield with the
Normal we hardly think will be a
popular one.'' Bro. Smalley, Of
the Springfield Times, comes back
at us as follows:
1t is not matter or case of Eve
hardly think" at this place, but
case of absolute surity that coop
erative schools will work wonders
for Springfield and every student
that attends. Other institutions
have adopted this method to good
advantage, and there is no reason
why it will not prove a good thing
at this point. We hardly think"
Bro. Bliss gave the matter much
thought or sought to obtain any
light on the subject before he pen
ned the paragraph in which he is
credited with saying I'VE hardly
think
We confess that our chief source
of light" on this subject has been
the articlesin the Springfield Times
and the Tyndall Tribune. If these
have been insufficient or misiead-
ing then we must plead guilty.
From the explanations above re-
ferred to, it appears that the plan
is for the state to employ and pay
the salary of the principal for the
Springfield high school. We heart
lily agree with Bro. Smalley that
this may work wonders for Spring
field" It might work wonders for
Scotland if the state would employ
the principal for our high school
but we do not expect the state to
do it. Our public school system
contemplates that each community
shall furnish at its own expense,
privileges for common and high
school education for every resident
pupil. In case high school course
is not given in any district, then
the pupils of that district are given
the privilege of attending some
other high school and such district
must stand the expense. Our state
institutions are designed to furnish
special or higher courses of study.
No one is more anxious to give
hearty support to our educational
institutions than we are, but that
the expense may be justly distrib-
uted it is necessary that each COM
munity should do its full share.
1t may be that the explanations
heretofore given in the Springfield
Times have been misleading. That
the proposed merger does not con-
template making the Normal school
do any public or high school work
at state expense. The fact that it
will "work wonders for Springfield"
or that the state board of regents
favors it is no justification for the
merger. The desire of every state
school is to increase it's enrolment
of students. To accomplish this
the state university has been doing
preparatory work; the agricultural
college has been doing university

work; the normals have been do
ing common and high school work.
The inevitable result has been an
abnormal demand at every session
of the legislature for increased ap-
preparations, and this creates an
unfortunate demand for abolishing
entirely some Of our state institu-
tions.

HIS PLEA NOT GOOD
scHWAB's APPEAL FOR STEEL
TARIFF UNREASONABLE.
Opposition to Revision Based Upon Fu.
ture Needs-Present Generation
Has the Greater Right to
Be Considered.

The views expressed by Charles NJ.
Schwab before the ways and means
committee are susceptible of no other
Interpretation than that the steel in.
dustry, II not exactly an infant, Is In
a transitional state and until II settles
down to a firm basis the tariff should
remain as II is. This Is contrary to
former expression OF Mr.. Schwab's
and directly opposed TO the position Of
Andrew Carnegie.
Mr.. Schwab justifies the tariff by eH'
planning that the open-hearth process
OF steel making is succeeding the Bes'
semer process and that the German
electrical method will succeed all 9th

words, professionalism protection

of an industry but to its continued

say that a tariff il always necessary
and always will be.
The strange thing about these new
processes Is that, while they produce
better steel. they increase the cost Of
the product. It will be n distinct de.

Is made to anticipate such future

viii Roosevelt Be Busy?

In the assertion that Mr.. Roosevelt
will be exceedingly busy for q few
weeks we find room for exception. The
cause of his unusual activity is given
as the prduous task OF preparing re-
ports for both the house and senate on
the secret-service resolutions and the
reply to the Foraker resolution.
II Mr.. Roosevelt we're in the habit
OF dealing with such harsh and hard
things as facts we might agree with
the story. The collection and colloca.
ton Of actual information is neither
an agreeable nor an easy matter. II
requires patience. persistence and the
exertion OF arduous effort.
But Mr.. Roosevelt as supreme fact.
hater will not be hampered by such
obtrusive and annoying features. He
will take his stenographer In hand and
out of the depths Of his fancy dictate
reports which will be marvels OF
homilet,cs. What has omniscience to
do with mere facts?

People Demand Consi deration

The plea OF the trust barons is for a
continuance OF the present regime Of
high prices. II can be nothing else.
For II II were not that. the Interested
industries would not be begging for
tariff favors. They are not begging
for something which will do them no
good, but for something which will do
them a great deal of good But It can
only do this good by keeping up
prlces--that is, by compelling the peo.
pie to pay the difference between the
cost OF an article In the foreign mar.
ket and the tarff.made price at home.
The very presence of these men in
Washington is an admission OK every.
thing that has been charged-namely,
that protection does raise prices; that
the consumer pays the tax, and that
the question involved is one OF privll.
ege and not OF right There is not one
representative OF industry who has
asked for high protective taxes on the
ground that they would reduce prices.
II these people thought that this would
be the effect Of high tariff they would
turn free traders tomorrow. There is,
however. right in the case, and that
is the right OF the people. Whether
that will receive any consideration is
yet to be seen.

USE OF HARRiMAN's MONEY.
President Roosevelt Must Have Known
How II Was to Be Spent.

Four years ago In the last week Of
the campaign Edward II. Hartman
went TO the White House at the In.
vitation OF President Roosevelt to con.
fer about the political situation In New
York.
As result Of that conference Mr..
Hartman returned to this city and i'm.
mediately raised $4,000, which was
turned over to the Republican national
committee for use In this state.
Mr.. Hartman. In a subsequent letter
to Sidney Webster. declared that as a
result of the fund he raised, at least
Do, 900 votes were turned In the city
of New York alone, making a differ
ence Of 100000 votes In the general re.
suit"
This money in the last hours of the
campaign could not have been used
for any legitimate purpose. Mr. Harri,
man did not pretend that II was used
for legitimate purpose. On the con.
trary, he took pride in the fact that
$4,000 votes were changed. making a
difference Of 100000 votes in the re.
suit. In other words, Mr.. Hartman
boosted that his campaign fund pur,
chased for the Republican candidates
sc, 900 votes that otherwise would have
gone to the Democratic candidates.
Whether or not MIR. Roosevelt had
the slightest intention OF respecting
the moral obligation" to Hartman
implied by this contribution of $500,
900, he could not have been ignorant
of the purpose to which this money
would be put. you and | are practical
men," said the president In one OF his
letters TO Hartman. As practical
man and a practical politician Mr..
Roosevelt knew there was only one
use for 100000 at the end of n doubt.

Knowing all this he not only encour.
aged Hartman to raise the money, but
led Hartman to believe that as a re-
ward he would be allowed to help
shape the railroad policy OF the ad-
ministration.-New York World.
