VOTE YES ON NO. s1s

Briefly summarized, the argument
Monmouth results in this: All the
States, and the National Government,
supply Normal School training. The
average taxpayer wants his child ed
ucated in the best way possible The
public school is the great leveler OF
the Nation, and the bulwark of Amer
lean independence. The best teachers
possible are none too good for this
work. The child of the millionaire re-
ceives the same courteous treatment
here at the hands of the trained
teacher as does any other child. The
average man is not able to employ a
special tutor; he must depend largely
upon the education and training which
his child receives in the public school;
beyond this but few ever advance in
their educational work.
The cost of this work at Monmouth
is but a bagatelle, only four cents on
a valuation of $1,000. If this meas
cation of this property in some city, al
a very heavy outlay of money to the
ordinary taxpayer. The school mus'
be located somewhere; it is in heal
thy part of the state, easily accessible
to the State Capitol by daily boat ano
rail service, and is directly connected
with the metropolis.
Such schools as these ought not to p'
in large cities, for the work is pecu
liar in it's nature, and the people Wh'
attend get larger results in the smaller
towns. The best interests of the tax
payers, the best interests of the publ1
schools, the best interests of the child
rem of the public schools warrant
every voter in voting Yes on No. 81
on November 8th.

SYCAMORE HILL.

Time was when the newspapers be-
lieved they were indulging in good
humored fun If they referred to saga
more Hill as in any way a notable
spot In the United states. Yet there is
no question but today it is at least as
well known as Monticello, Hawarden
or Karlsruhe. Within the last nine
years the owner Of Sycamore Hill has
become the greatest figure OF the
present generation and perhaps one
Of the greatest in history. It is no
wonder therefore, that the public
manifests an interest in the little es-
tate at Oyster Bay, in its owner, and
in the daily life he leads there. And
truly. the life which Theodore Roose-
welt leads upon his hill is in itself so
absolutely wholesome and so typically
American that We cannot but envy it.
To is sane and a healthy outdoor
life. the kind most Of us who are city
pent constantly yearn for. Quiet
that life could easily be upon the sun
drenched hill, but politics, that exact

ago. as was expected. President RoOs-
evelt would have appointed SIr. Taft
as his successor. II Mr.. Roosevelt or
Air. Hughes had been nominated at
Chicago two years go. MI Taft would
iU all likelihood. now be appointed
Chief Justice. There was a crucial
moment in New York politics. several
years ago. when Mr.. Roosevelt's de-
cision made Mr.. Hughes the repub-
lican nominee for governor. Il was
Mr.. RoOsevelt's decision. also, that
made Nr. Taft the republican nomi-
nee for president. Mr.. Hughes at
that time was not anxious TO run for
the governorship. nor was Mr. Taft
q seeker for The presidency.
Mr. Root. If he had been so mind
ed, could have been governor Of New
York and republican nominee for the
presidency. After his retirement as
Secretary Of War. when he had Justly
earned great popularity by price
less service 10 the nation, both Roose-
welt and Taft urged Root with all their
might 70 accept a nomination for the
Eoverncrship with view to becom-
ing the republican candidate for the
presidency in 1905. Mr.. Root. who
was seeking no further political pref
ermenJ and was content 10 be leader
Of the bar Of New York, deliberately
refused what was easily within his
grasp. He would have been elected
governor in 1904. and again in 1906.
and would have been elected presl-
dent in 1908. In this case. also, Mr..
Taft would probably have become
Chief Justice. Under those circum-
stances, Mr.. Roosevelt would very
likely have taken. Mr.. Plat's seat in
the senate. The death of Mr.. HAY
was followed by the imperative call
that Mr.. Root should return to the
cabinet as Secretary Of State. He
was offered the same position in Mr..
Iaft's cabinet. but decided to 20 TO

rers Qualities in the republican party

preme exercise Of his political author
ity he succeeded in putting himself out

finds himself playing the more con-
spicuous but less congenial part OF
president. He is a better judge of law
and Of evidence than of men:-better
fitted by nature for the bench than
for executive work He deals easily
and rapidly with principles and ques-
tions. He is not skillful in dealing

than the other three in years. is rath-
er the younger Of the four in personal
