II PASSING OF MLNARD AS A STATESMAN.

m SSEMBLYMAN MINARD has been a statesman only since
IN the opening Of the Legislative session last january, and he
will cease to be q statesman when the next Legislature con-
yenes. How Minard came to embark in craftsmanship has been q
mystery to the public, although no mystery to the special interests
he represented and supported in the last Legislature. The whole
eleven members of the Essex delegation this year were named in
county committee headquarters, but they were previously named
somewhere else, and with less formality. Minard is, by an adopted
fiction, supposed to represent East Orange as an imaginary district:
The East Orange committeeman, representing the sentiment OF
their city. fatty repudiated him before the primaries and made
strong protest to the county committee, but the protest did not
avail Stronger influences wanted Minard in the Legislature. He
had displayed there the desired insensibility to public criticism,
as well as a callous disregard of the public interests. He was OF
the type of craftsmanship that the. special interests have always
used. But the experience of Assemblyman Minard in legislative
life ends with his present term, and we predict that in the list OF
the defeated Republican organization candidates In Essex for re,
election he will stand the lowest in the count.

When a man says in all sincerity of
an article of editorial nature that it
reads as though its author was talking
to his public he has, perhaps uncon-
sciously, uttered a fulsome compliment.
And if it is remarked of a public
speaker tina he talks as though he was
writing to you, said speaker In cues
ton is being damned with something
considerably less than faint praise. No
one who has fallen under the spell of
Dr.. Wilson's eloquence doubts for a
moment hat he is being talked to from
the shoulder, and the Democratic can
didate's remarkable addresses have the
admirable faculty of seeming to speak
out from the printed page.

Richmond News Leader

hlchmond News Leader
Senator Lassiter. of Petersburg
delivered yesterday a striking
and thoughtful address to the
Palmer's Springs High school in
Mecklpnburg county. We regret
that want of space prevents our
publishing this address in full,
for it is an admirable discourse
upon education, it's true charac-
ter and purpose and the duty OF
the cit izen of the state.
"The hope OF the Iuture," he
said, for the preservation of our
free institutions in this great
country of ours, is the educated
farmer. Not educated to leave
the farm and herd in the cities,
but trained to win bylntelligent,
intensive and diversified agricul.
ture, the surest and most indie
pendent complete life in the
world today"
Probably the cardinal defect in
our modern system of education
is that we trust and permit too
little to the natural and rely
too much upon the artificial. In
towns and cities, especially, the
forcing process is begun too ear.
ly. Unconscionsly we came to
attach too much weight to mere
booklearning. and too little to
that part OF the education got
best in early lie in the country
home, to the sturdiness, freedom
and individuality that is char
acteristic OF the country child
who is allowed to learn in his
youth those things which, no
matter what his subsequent at.
tainments and opportunities, he
can never acquire IN after life.
They may not be specified in the
curricul u m of a well-worded
school, but they mean much in
the formation of character and
in preparation for the inevitable
conflicts and responsibilities OF
manhood.
"1'each a boy to ride, to shoot
and to speak the TRUTH" was the
ancient Persian doctrine, "nnd
you have the making of a man J"
The educated farmer can give
his children the opportunity to
learn these and many other
things, and in due time, after an
unharled childhood in which the
soundest and most enduring
foundations OF true education
have been laid, supply them with
that booklearning and tenchni-
cal training that il now deman.

Mansions In Ny Fathers House.

MOnTOo EuqulTeT'
Mrs. Martha Harris, widow of
the late Mr.. Dorsey Harris. of
Buiort township, died at t h e
county home last Friday after
noon and was buried at Macedo.
MIA church on Saturday after
noon. The lives of Dorsey Harris
and his wife were pathetic ones.
They started in life together with
fair prospects and bright hopes.
They made a good living and
were laying a little something by
for old age or that "ruiny day"
which comes in most lives. Sick.
ness came. For years the hus-
band was confined to his house
with rheumatism. Nothing was
made on their little farm except
what the wife ekpd out. The in.
come did not equal the expendi.
tnre. skimp and save however
carefully they might. Debt and
poverty came hand in hand to
their abode. Old age and blind.
ness came on the wife and her ev-
er-willing hands could do no
more. They had no child to be a
styy AMI support 70 them.
And one day the drawn and
crippled old husband and his
blind wife knocked at the door OF
the county home for the aged
and infirm and asked for admis-
sion. That was IA years ago.
Two years after that the hus.
band died. The vile remained un.
til the date above named, al
ways submissive, never complai-
ming OF her lot. Mrs. Harris was
one whose Christianity was
known to all who came in con-
tact with her, She was tried in
the fire and proved to be pure
gold. Those who visited Mrs.
Harris and read 10 her from the
Bible, as she requested all who
came and spent any time with
her to do, remember that 8 h e
would always say, "Read that
chapter where it says in my Fa-
theirs house are many mansions.
Poor old soul f! Sitting in the
house OF charity. the only home
offering a friendly root, asking
that she might hear read from the
great old book about a mansion
in the house Of the All Father
there was unutterable pathos in
it, aud yet there was a faith and
unshaken hope which challenges
admiration. Mrs. Harris was a
little over SO years old.
