TAFT KEEPS AWAY
FROM KENTUCKY
Visit to State Delayed to Es-
cape. Democrats Censure.

"Marse Henry watterson editor OF
the Louisville Courier-JournaI, has spared
President Taft the sting of an edi-
torial attack by suggesting to him in a
personal letter that 1t might be- wiser
for him to postpone his contemplated
visit to Kentucky until after the cleo
tions which will be held In the Bluegrass
State next November. Mr.. Taft had
made an, engagement to attend the dedi-
cation of the Lincoln Farm at Hodgins-
vile, KY, on October 26.
In November the Republicans OF that
State will make a desperate effort to
place Judge O'Rear in the gubernatorial
chair. "Marse Henry" told the President
that the Democrats of Kentucky might
see in his visit an effort to aid the Re
publican candidate and that this might
cause considerable resentment there.
The President has accepted Marse
Henry's suggestion in good faith and
yesterday wrote to Gov. Wilson, OF
Kentucky, asking that the dedication
exercises be postponed until some time
in November, after the election. He has
said that he could visit Kentucky be-
tween November Is and 26, If that time
Is dSEeSdDle 10 Ine heHIuChlduS.
The Kentucky campaign, it is said.
will have considerable national impor-
tance in showing the trend of political
sentiment, and Mr.. Taft, though he will
give Judge O'Rear all the aid possible
outside the State, will not go down
there so that it might appear that he
is interfering in local affairs.
President Taft told Corporal Tanner, Of
the Grand Army of the Republic, and
Representative Danforth, Of New York,
yesterday that he would be glad to join
the G. A. R. veterans in their nationals
encampment at Rochester, N. Y, on
August q. This is the day Of the big
parade of the encampment in which It IS
expected 10000 veterans will march The
invitation, engraved on parchment and
inclosed IN a leather case, was pre-
sented TO the President by Corporal
Tanner.

Mixing Politics with the Schools.

Baltimore is paying the penalty OF
mixing politics with education. The
school superintendent has been forced
out of his position; the school board
has been disrupted, and conditions are
in a turmoil. One of the members of
the school board in rendering his resig-
nation stated that the seat of authority
had been transferred from the board to
the city hall, and he refuses to serve
because, as he says, the interests of the
public, and especially of the children,
cannot be safeguarded when politics
is upon the throne"
Baltimore is, unhappily, furnishing
evidence of the fact that schools should
be kept out of politics. We should
count ourselves fortunate in being free
from similar situation here. Our
school board acts upon its own in
itiative; it has full responsibility in
the matter of appointments and pro-
motions, and there are no political in
terests to dominate or embarrass its
work. Since the Chancellor episode,
the schools have been conducted in a
quiet, dignifed, and effective fashion.
beneficial to pupils, teachers, and the
public.
And it is all because we do not mix
politics with the administration of our
schools

The Future of the Steel Trust.

Certainly the unexpected would hap
pen if the steel trust should domicile
itself in Europe The idea seems too
fantastic for sober consideration. The
physical valuation of the properties
owned by the trust in the United States
amounts to more than one billion dol
dars, even under the conservative esti-
mate of the Bureau of Corporations /;
its stockholders represent every State
in the Union; it has built up tre-
mendous business, and it is enjoying
prosperity.
There are some minds, however,
which see in the Brussels steel con-
ference, which has just adjourned, after
appointing a committee of thirty to
formulate a plan for an international
organization or combination, readi-
ness upon the part of the steel trust to
transport itself across the seas if laws
and prosecutions menace its business or
threaten its disruption. 1t is true that
Judge Gary's speeches did not hint at
such an outcome. On the contrary, he
and his fellow-conferees contented
themselves with discussing how to pre-
vent disastrous competition by a divi-
sion of world territory. If, however,
the trust should want to undertake the
manufacture of steel in a country which
does not have a Sherman law, it is
worth while to know that the Krupp
interests are hand in glove with the
United States Steel Corporation. These
interests dominate the great iron and
steel industries in Germany, while the
Krupp-Rothschiid syndicate Gowns and
controls some of the finest ore-produc-
ing mines in Spain, which for a hun
dred years have been the mainstay of
the Krupp works. Besides this, Krupp's
owns mines in almost every part of
the globe-a fact almost unknown in
this country.
1t is intimated that an agreement be-
tween Judge Gary and the Krupp inter
ests has had something to do with the
formers placidity of mind. Germany has
no antitrust laws and is disposed to help
rather than hinder trade combinations.
If adverse conditions here should drive
the trust abroad, it would find plenty
of raw material, and it would have the
advantage of lower-priced labor. These
facts have, in all probability, given cur
rency to a report which it would be
otherwise waste of time to discuss
It may also be true that the trust is
quite willing to have the public believe
that if il cannot have its ownAway il
will, like the little girl in the story.
pick up its doll and refuse. to play.
Speaker Clark and Chairman Under.
wood have already expressed their
opinions of such a threat, and the Amer
lean people would easily find a method
of teaching the trust a severe lesson.
in case it were really in earnest. tmustH
not be forgotten that there is a tariff.
and, with this tariff to keep out for
eign steel, the independent manufacturers
who remained at home could laugh
the transported corporation to scorn.

Reading for the Children.

The cooperation between the Public
Library and the Playground Associa-
ton whereby children may get books at
the Fairgrounds each day between II 80
and p. m, instead of at the library
only, deserves special commentator.
There are $1,000 children in the Dis
trict, while at the library only 10000 are
registered. In summer the afternoon
hours are so hot that the children do not
go to the library in large numbers. By
going to the Fairgrounds and distribute
ing books the library officials are en-
abled to reach the absentees.
This is the rural free delivery system
applied to books, and it Is certainly ef-
fective.

WITTY.
Sir Henry wotton, for twenty
years England's ambassador to
the court of Venice, discovered
to his sorrow that 1t is not al
ways wise to be witty, even in
so simple a matter as writing
in an autograph album. Once
when visiting at the house of a
friend his host brought out the
visitors book and requested Sir
Henry to inscribe his name In II,
together with some appropriate
sentiment. willing TO oblige and
Wishing TO say something at once
neat. witty, and wise, he wrote
the following. and appended his
name to il:
AN ambassador is an honest
man, sent abroad to lie for his
country"
But King James I did not ap-
preciate the effort Of his ambas-
sador. When told about it he
was very angry. and after
Sir Henry,s term OF once at
venice expired it was ive long
years before he received another
appointment ct the royal hands.
