ONE REASON FOR STATUES

lnquisitive Child.

A Washington dentist praised en-
Enthusiastically the respect paid to the
memory of Horace Wells by the
French government. 1t has erected
recently statue of him in the Place
des Etats Unis, In Paris. and the un-
yelling ceremony in March was at

from all over the world.
Professor Wells" said the dentist.
was born in Hartford in 1915. He was
pioneer In the use of nitrous oxide
gas In dental operations to prevent
pain. and for his discoveries in anaes-
thesia he may be regarded as bene-
factor to mankind.
Wells has been dead so years. and
France Is the first-a tardy first-to
acknowledge the importance Of his
discovery and raise a tribute to his
almost forgotten memory. This case
reminds me of conversation between
little boy and his father.

NOUS men, father" said the child.

Tho Ohio Returns.

A great "to-do" was made over the
returns from the Fourteenth Massa-
chusetts district and those from the
Rochester district, where. on the face
of the election results, the tariff and
the regular Republicans had sus-
tained crushing" defeat on their
merits. But those same papers which
shouted SO loudly over these results
really brought about by personal and
local considerations and issues-have
had little II anything to say Of the
returns from Ohio, where for the first
time the voters Of whole state and
not merely an isolated district, had
the opportunity Of expressing their
convictions. The voters Of Ohio gave
rousing vindication of the presi-
dents policies and Of the Payne tariff.
Political conditions are proverbially
unsettled Immediately after the enact
ment Of new tariff law. and espe-
cially In the OF year between presi-
Dental campaigns. In renominating,
with only two exceptions, the present

delegation, the Buckeye Republicans

Tariff Cost Of Livina.

Democratic orators to explain all of
these things to the satisfaction, not
only of themselves, but of the Ameri-

Mr.. Taft Get. Harmony.

Either William H. Taft has a larger
control over men and events at Wash
ington than his know-it-all critics are
content to allow him or the Grand
Old Party, possesses in undiminished
strength its traditional ability to pull
itself together, and come out on top
in any factional crisis. In any case,
the practical passage OF the railroad
bill and the assurance of success for
the other administration measures
changes in day the whole outlook of
things for the president and for the
Republicans.
This lightning shift may be due to
combination Of the two causes which
we have mentioned. The habit of har-
mony, the tradition of getting together
for the party's good, is as old as re-
publicanism itself. Its spirit undoubt-
edly lay In the subconsciousness Of
both standpatter and insurgent, but it
is significant that 1t was not trans
muted into action until Mr.. Taft re-
turned to the White House from his
trip to Cincinnati. Perhaps his new
policy Of having things out. man to
man, with individual members of con.
gress is giving him the power which
the correspondents have not seen in
his administration thus far.
But whatever the cause, we must
feel a decided satisfaction that the
two elements Of the Republican party
have fulfilled the hopes for reunited
action.
AS result, the Republican party
may begin to look forward to the No
vember elections with far better
courage. Constructive action has al
ways been the most effective gun
which the Republicans have brought
to bear upon the pathetic ramparts
of Democracy. We predict that 1t will
be 30 again In the good year 1910

The Business Instinct.

An English farmer, taking his little
son with him. was going to the
polling station to give his vote. On
the way he met a friend on the same
errand, and the two entered into con-
versation. After an excited and heat
ed argument about the budget they
came to blows. The poor lad was
much frightened, and, seeing that his
father was getting the worst of 1t,
suddenly called out to him:

PARTY SURE TO

VOTERS HAVE CONFIDENCE IN

TAFT GROWS IN POPULARITY
People viii Hesitate Long Before
Committing the Destiniss OF the
Country Into lneompetsnt
Democratic Hands.

WdSuIuktOu.-lI may Dc SalO tudt
the prospects for a Republican ma
jority In the next house of repre-
sentatives are much improved. or
rather. that the prospects for Demo
cratic majority are fast fading away.
In fact. Democratic prospects have
consisted mainly In claims and blus-
ter which are no longer as bold as
they were few weeks ago. The pres
ent Republican majority of A may or
may not be reduced. but It is expect
ed that 1t will be 25 or 30, II not more
The hopelessness of the Democrats
is apparent In their claim that they
will gain from so to 100 seats-such
claim of course is not sincere. The
Republicans will surely gain IL or Is
seats, and with that gain. can lose 20
to 30 and still have a substantial ma
5ority. But 1t is quite likely that as
many seats will be gained as lost. and
the majority in the next house re-
main about what it is now.
The Democrats have been basing
their hopes on the unpopularity of
President Taft. but Taft is growing in
learning the truth about our big, good
natured. honest president. They are
learning of the economies of his ad-
ministration, Of his personal SINGER
tty. of his aim to give the people an
administration for the best interests
Of all.
Then again. the bugaboo of high
prices, which was laid to the tariff, is
becoming a boomerang. Every one
knows now that the increased prices
were not due to the tariff, but best of
all. prices are rapidly falling, and in
many instances are lower than year
ago, while wages are constantly being
advanced. General industrial condi-
tions are good.
Coed progress Is being made In leg
islatiop. and the work Of the present
congress Will compare favorably with
any preceding one. In fact, 1t is more
than probable that the first two ses-
sions of the sixty-irst congress will
be numbered among the most impor-
tant and effective in our history.
The appropriations to keep pace
with our growing population and the
increasing demands, should be larger
every year. and yet 1t is believed that
the appropriations of the present 'ses-
sion will be but little, II any, larger
than those Of the last regular ses-
sion This result, in conjunction with
the millions saved In administration,
will present record that In itself
should assure an Endorsement of the
president and good Republican ma
1ortty In the next house.
There will be no more talk of i'm
mediate tariff revision. The present
law is working so perfectly that no
present change is demanded, while all
agree that we should give 1t fair
trial. In the meanwhile the tariff
board. with an appropriation Of $780,
900, will, be able to gather informa-
tion that will be valuable when the
next revision takes place.
Taking all conditions and facts to-
gether, it will be seen that the Demo-
Gratis have no reasonable arguments
to offer the people, while the Repub-
licans will aggressively present the
issues and force the fight in every
congressional district where there is
chance to win.

NIGHT SCHOOLS OPEN
Increased Attendance in Prac-
ticaIIy All the Classes.
Mckinley WORK POPULAR
Night Instruction in Manual Train
ing Meets With Favor.
DEMAND FOR MORE SCHOOLS
Citizens of Deanwood Want One Es-
tablished There-Question of
Money Is Acute.

The night schools in the District were
opened for the scholastic year 1901
last night at 1880 o'clock. There was an
Increased attendance over last year, due
| for the most part to the establishment
of night course at the Mckinley Man
| ual Training School. the increased at
tendance at the co1ored schools and the
| large number of foreigners in the
graded schools.
The opening of night class in the Nc
Kinley School this year affords great
advantage which has not hitherto been
enjoyed by those who were not able to
attend the day classes. Night classes
| were opened at the school last year for
a few months as an experiment, and the
results were SO good that few days
a fter they started all classes were over
crowded. This year it was decided to
introduce the night classes permanently.
Attendance Remarkably Large.
The result has been a remarkably large
initial attendance. with probability that
later in the year there will not be enough
room in the classes to accommodate all
who desire to study manual training.
The subjects which may be studied in
the night classes are mechanical draw
ing. electricity, wood turning, pattern
making, carpentry. machine ana shop
work for the boys. and sewing, dress
making, millinery and cooking for the
girls Dr. George E. Meyers, the prin-
cipal. desired to introduce course in
| physic and chemistry and even one in
| aviation this year if the appropriation
had been large enough. He hopes that
these may be taught next year.
A report from the colored night schools
shows that 1,149 pupils have been en-
rolled, a great increase over preceding
| wears. A large number of former pupils
are expected to enroll Wednesday night,
as only the new pupils were allowed to
enroll last night.
Deanwood Wants School.
| A+request has been maze by the citi-
zens OF 'Deanwood for the establishment
of a night school there. DR.. w. B.
Evans, director of colored night schools.
| has the matter under consideration at
present, and if the funds will permit the
! request will be granted.
The white graded night schools are at
tended largely by foreigners who have
but a slight knowledge Of the English
language. AS they progress they are
transferred from grade to grade, and by
the time they have finished the eighth
grade they are well acquainted with the
| tongue In the Franklin School alone
last year there were eight teachers en-
ployed to teach foreigners. In the JEFF
ferson School there were two such in
structors. Although the entire enroll
ment has not yet been made. 1t is ex-
pected that the same number of teachers
for foreigners will be needed this year.
