H. Addington Bruce writes most inter-

claims that a large number Of opera

In dealing with the tariff question.
democratic orators and newspapers
seem lost entirely to the possibility
that their party may some day be
given responsibility and asked to
make good its theories and promises.
To a marvellous degree they take ad-
vantage Of their present freedom from
responsibility If hey give the future
any thought a, all. which they seem
not TO. they certainty don't even ex-
pect their chickens to come home -
roost.
Here is sample. The Houston Post
complains of the inequalities of the
tariff" as administered under republi
can rule and under the rule of protec-
ton and, with fine assurance says:
While under the operation Of the dem
ocratic doctrine of a tariff for revenue
these inequalities may not be wholly
removed. the Post Will once more risk
its prediction they Will be less grossly
unequal than under the present law
and that such incidental benefits as
may result therefronl will he far more
widely distributed without entaiing
any Disadvantages whatver upon
American labor"
We offer that is sample You can
hear the same Ding from almost any
democratic stumper. You can read the
same thing in almost any democratic
newspaper. TO hear them talk. nothing
could be easier than for the democratic
party 20 produce equality Of benefits
under the tariff. to cut down the price
OF everything labor has u buy by adj

he has to buy at greatly reduced prices
without cutting down th@ prices he

ucts that the factory hand is going t.

tai unfamiliarity with responsibility
could produce such recklessness OF

Well, some four or five years ago a
railroad official of very great promi-
hence was before a commission prob
ing charges against the management
Of giving secret rebates in plain vio-
ation of the federal statutes. That Of
fetal, Paul Morton, confessed to the
commission that for years he had
countenanced the rebate practice and
that he felt justified In breaking the
anti-rebate law because other railroad
managers were doing the same thing.
Morton unblushingly admitted that he
was lawbreaker.
Did President Roosevelt turn him
out?" Nary bit of it. Morton was
forced to quit his railroad position be-
cause Of the exposure and Colonel
Roosevelt took him into his cabinet.
where he continued until public opin-
ion forced his resignation. And when
he left the cabinet Colonel Roosevelt
gave him clean bin of health!
The Morton scandal was too much
for even a partisan press in the United
States to gloss over. In view of his ex-
traordinary conduct in defending this
confessed lawbreaker, the former presi-
dents furious attack upon rascals OF
high and low degree somehow loses
much Of it's force.

THE SCHOOL ENGINEER.


Booker T. Washington. In the Out

cational Engineer" Mr.. Washington
occupies so high a place in the educa-
tional world that it is unnecessary to
call attention to his declarations In
this article as an illustration of the
advance that the negro has made in
the realm of thought and education.
His ideas have value in themselves
apart from any interest that their au-
thorship may impart to them. Says Mr..
Washington
THE work of the school engineer. as
l conceive it. should be to go into a
community or county, make study of
the ordinary normal activities and in
terests of that community or that coun-
ty, and then set to work directing and
helping the teacher and the school au-
thorities TO reconstruct conditions In
side and outside of the school in ac-
cordance with some plan which would
make that school of the greatest pos
/ sible use to the community in which
! il is located. The school In farmin g
community should gets its arithmetical
problems from the farm. The reading
/ lessons, the lessons in history and
science, should be ordered, arranged
and taught from the standpoint of the
farmer, with a view to charging en-
riching and improving, not merely the
farms but the homes and country life
generally"
Many a school teacher. in Iowa and
elsewhere, may we'll give thought to
this sound advice. In city and country,
the school should be community CEN

offers for leaving the highest Ylpress

should fit into its environments.
