EMPEROR WILLIAM ON DRINK
Temperance Speech Made by the
Kaiser to Naval Students at Muir
wik-Makes Prediction.

The nation which takes the small
est quantity of alcohol will win the
battles OF the future"
This prediction, made by Emperor
William to the German naval cadets
In Murwik a few days ago. has given
the temperance advocates a new text.
In the course OF his address the kaiser
said:
One more piece OF advice I will
give you on question the Importance
Of which for my people lies very close
to my heart. II Is the question Of al
cohol and drinking know quite well
that pleasure In drinking Is an old In
heritance of the Germanic peoples.
Nevertheless, we must by self-dis-
cipline free ourselves IN every respect
from this evil.
Il can assure you that In my twenty
two years of government II has been
my experience that great number OF
the crimes which were laid before me
for decision we're to be nine-tenths
ascribed to the consequences OF al!
cohol. In former days It was reckoned
among young men particularly smart
to be able to drink and carry a large
quantity.
Those we're obsolete views which
were all very well for the Thirty
Years War. but don't do today Az
you will notice yourselves In the
course of your term on board. service
In my feet has attained degree OF
intensity which can hardly be exceed
ed. 1t is your task to go through
these prodigious efforts In time OF
peace without being used up. In order
that you may be fresh In case Of seri
Gus events. The next war and the
next battle will demand sound nerves
on your part They will be decided
by nerves. But these are undermined
and endangered from youth upwards
by indulgence In alcohol.
1T is one of the questions of the fu
ture for our navy and for our nation
II you educate the people to do with
out alcohol I shall bave healthy ant
sensible subjects. II rs a great ques
ton of the future. for by the time-ex'
pired men the idea will be carried
into the country II you promote
these principles my people will be-
morally elevated. That is a work in
which I should like to ask you to take
share"

President Arthur Was Pleased to
Make Frank Hatton Happy by
Giving Him the Position OF
Postmaster General.

IN the latter part OF President Ar.
thurs administration Frank Hatton
became postmaster general. thereby
gaining the distinction of being the
Youngest cabinet officer since Alexan'
der Hamilton: he was only thirty-eight
when he became "A member of Ar

he served through the civil war. at

Then he moved 10 Iowa, took an &c

Hawkeye. In 1881 he became assis-
tant postmaster general. and after he
left the cabinet he again became a
newspaper editor. first iE Chicago and
then OF the Washington Post. His
death occurred in 1894.
A few days before Mr.. Hatton's ap,
polntment as postmaster general was
sent 20 the senate President Arthur
received me one morning at the White
House. After we had been talking
about half an hour he glanced at the
clock.

wards the possible impeachment OF
Maynard.
Three years later the state Of New
York was to elect a member OF the
highest court. and Judge Maynard was
nominated by the Democrats. II was
the common impression that Mr.. Hill.
who at that time was United States
senator. had forced the nomination.
and when Judge Maynard was beaten
by hundred thousand majority. this
defeat was regarded all over the
country as a criticism more Of Hill
than OF Maynard.
The real facts are now narrated for
the first time. and they follow:
Senator Hill reported to some OF his
friends that Richard Croker had said
that Maynard. II nominated. could be
elected. The friends replied: Gro
ker Is mistaken: he cannot be elect
ed"
Il will make further vestigation,-
said the senator. "and having done
that. will consult with my colleague,
Senator Murphy" The latter had
been elected senator through the cap
ture OF the Democratic legislature In
the manner above described

ton some time later. Senator Hill

repeat some political history.
In the last year OF IIilrs term as
governor OF New York-ls90-a very
close election took place In the state.
For some days there was doubt wheth-
or or not the Rooublicans had secured
majority in the state senate. In
any event. tho majority would be n
very small one. possibly no greater
than one vote.
Tho issue at last centered upon
the election OF senator In Duchess
county. of which Poughkeepsie Is the
county seat. There were strong sus
picious that the returns had been tam
pcred with. and that tho correct re-
turns would show that the Republican
candidate for senator had been elected
The matter was taken to the courts.
and Justice Edgar NJ. Cullen. now

the Republican returns were the cor
rect ones. and issued mandamus to
the state canvassing board to accept
these returns. But through what many
regarded n the Interference OF an
other Justice. Isaac H. Maynard. the
returns thus mandamused were not
sent 90 the state canyassing board.

torted Murphy.
Again Hill made an investigation
and became definitely satisfied that
Maynard would be overwhelmingly
defeated. lie therefore determined To
write Maynard The senator began
the letter 20 Maynard by saying:
Il am about to write a letter which
will give me more pain than any
have written since I entered public
life. I am going to tell you frankly
that In my opinion. In the opinion OF
practically the entire bar Of New York
state, and a majority OF the Democrat
ic leaders. you cannot be elected.
would therefore suggest to you that
you, In some discreet and satisfactory
way, make It known that you must not
be considered as a candidate for the
court of appeals bench"
Judge Maynard received this letter
by messenger In due time that mes
senger returned to Senator Hin with
this reply; Judge Maynard says that
he can afford TO be defeated by the
people. but he cannot AFFORD to be
Inundated by his party. He there.
fore will not withdraw. but will insist
upon his nomination.
Very WE'LL" replied Senator Hill.
IF he insists. I have no doubt his
nomination will be made. But I am
afraid no will regret IT,"
And regret his action Maynard sure
ly did.

Education in Texas.

We are frequently prone TO
eriticise some of the Southern
States for their lack of education
al facilities. In many instances
we find We are doing wrong, and
if any one has ever had the nerve
to criticise the state Of Texas, we
believe the following statement,
made by William E. Curtis, the
correspondent, in a letter to the
Chicago Record Herald, will show
such persons that they were in
error. The statement is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE permanent school fund of
Texas is larger than that of any
other state in the Union. This
consists of land, mortgages, in
tereSt bearing bond and leased
land. Its total value in 1910
was $69, 293,225. The interest on
bonds, receipts from occupation
taxes, special collections by the
state treasurer and other sOrces
of income provided a fund of $40,
BAG, S39 for the year 1910. On
the basis of the census of that
year, which showed 96S,269 pupils
Of school age, this allows per
capita expenditure of $10.6S.
When it is considered that Texas
Is new and growing country,
this per capita expenditure is a
matter Of surprise to the people
of the north and east who think
that very little attention is paid
to school matters in the south
and southwest.
That seems to be going some for
educational purposes, does it mott
