Our Educational Failure.

from the Charleston News and Conrier
This country mas confidently robbed
Peter to pay Paul: 1t has pauperlzed the
teaching profession in order to enrich the
o.ner PROFESSIONS. 1t has made great
lawyers by eliminating great teachsrs It
has advanced medicine by pushing edu-
cation into the background. Harsh
though these statements be. they are
true.
Take any southern state and look over
the records of its jurists and its doc
tors. and you will be amazed to md
now many OF them were teachers nrst.
And so throughout the union. These
men were good teachers, and the most
OF them liked their work. but they found
soon enough, all of them. that no career
lay open to them in that line. So they
turned to other professions. That is why
teaching has become for men but a step
ping stone. We fail to understand that
We have virtually told every energetic
and Cood teacher that If ne wants to do
anything in the world he will have to no
in for some other line OF work.
No profession has had the choice of
Huch intellect and genius as the teaching
profession, and no profession has allowed
no much intellect and genius to get away
from 1t. This Indictment Is true even
today. The hundreds of this years col

let II 10 more important that We nave
good teachers than that we nave good
doctors. or good lawyers. Good teaching
means good lawyers n doctors later.
There can be no getting away from the
facts. We have made teaching q sac
riace for the man doing 1t. We nave re-
fused him due reward for his labors, and
We still refuse him due reward. We take
from him his self respect very often and
kive him nothing in return. We force
him TO turn to professions whore the

great teacher must be more richly en-
dowed than = great lawyer. Why does
the one acquire Thousands whore the
other acquires hundreds? Why does the
salary OF the teacher not keep pace with
the cost OF living? Why do we spend
millions for education and not pay the
Pilots more h q ~pittance?

Men sometimes dream Of enormous

low the reach OF miners. but experts
aver that there Is little OF no ground

posts lie very deep in the earth's

owing to the pressure on the racks at

1t behooves democrats to be on
their guard. The friends of preda-
tory interests-the beneficiaries of
special privilege and governmental
favoritism-are always at work They
never sleep. With them politics is a
business because they make the gov
eminent business asset. They are
able to bring pressure to bear upon
their class of papers. When they
want to nominate man for. office,
he at once becomes a man Of distinc-
ton, man of ability-just the man
for whom the people are looking. And
they have somebody for office when
ever there is place to be filled.
They have their candidates for con-
gress and for the senate. They have
their candidates fer all the Judge.

about but not progressive enough to

The democratic party seems ready
to come into its own. After a long
fight the progressives policies which
aroused the opposition Of all the pred.
atory interests in 1896 are becoming
the accepted policies Of the country,
but the interests will do their best
to nominate a candidate who is not
in sympathy with them and who tried
to retard their progress. Let not
the democrats be deceived. The
work of democratic president will
be no easy work. The cleaning out
of the stables will be Herculan-
can task. 1t will require strength of
body, strength of mind and unflinch-
ing moral purpose. 1t is no time for
compromise. The times require a
stalwart, fearless progressive leader.
The time is not ripe yet for the Sc.
lection Of candidate. Congress will
largely shape the issue and may
develop the man but whether he
comes from the senate or the house
or from state position, he must
measure up to the requirements of
the occasion and be able to summon
the progressive hosts to his banner
He must be positive and progressive

NEW Works NEW SENATOR
PROGRESSIVE. :

It looks very much as though the
election Of James A. O'Gorman to
succeed Chauncey Depew in the Unit
ed States Senate will make New
York normally democratic state
instead of being normally republican
as heretofore. The new Senator will
take his place among real progress
sive democrats. There is little In
common between him and men like
Sheehan and Bailey.
Since his election the new Senator
has given to the press the follow
ing declaration Of progressive prin-
ciples:
ST am in thorough accord with the
principles enunciated in the platforms
of the last Democratic National and
State conventions.
'The need for an immediate down.
ward revision of the tariff is urgent,
and further delay in the accomplish
ment Of this much needed reform
will not be tolerated by the Ameri-
can people.
81 am opposed to all special priv
ileges and private monopoly. to the
new nationalism and the centralizing
tendencies Of the Republican party.
II favor rigid economy in govern
mental expenditures and the passage
of constitutional amendment pro-
viding for an income tax free from
mischievous interference with the
governmental instrumentalities of the
several States.
81 shall earnestly support the pro-
posed reciprocity treaty with Canada.
II am in favor of the parcels post.
81 have very strong conviction as
to the duty of the Government to
fortify the Panama canal.
1.-THE Democratic party in National
and State conventions has declared
in favor of the election of United
States Senators by the people, and

ciple.

governors Of the islands.
The memorial states that many
Americans in the Islands are ami
mated apparently with the idea that
the government has been established
and benefit, "and that the Filipinos
here exclusively for their interest
are not to be, nor ever will be. inde-
pendent"
Since the Congressional investigat-
ing committee upheld the ruling of
Attorney General Wickersham that
the purchase by American sugar inter
ests Of $4,000 acres Of rich Friar
sugar lands was proper, the senti-
ment in the islands for early indie
pendence has grown with a seven
league-boots stride. The Fil!pinos
have come to feel that the sugar
trust is debating the Philippine pol
icy of the Taft administration, and
they are convinced that the trust in
tends that the United States shall
retain possession of the islands for
ever.
THE people observe" continues
the memorial, that all the prefer
ences and stimulus of the govern
ment is kept for foreign capital. and
it is not to be wondered at that
the people feel profound neglect
and that /. sees, itself in advance
beaten in an unequal economic con-
dition and loses faith in the benev-
olence of the intentions Of the gov
eminent
"In the practice Of professions It
observes likewise that the natives of
the country are being relegated to
the background and that the bust
ness is controlled by Americans, and
THAT, as in the case of the survey
I ors. there have been efforts to deny
to the latter the practice Of the pro-
fession in what relates to an office
of the government.
1.-THE gravest defect of the present
system is found in the lack Of con-
/ fidence in the capacity Of the ma
tives. who are prevented from develop
ing themselves. The central axle of
the administrative organism revolv-
es in such way that it leaves to
the Filipinos no opportunity for prac-
tice in the conduct of public affairs
through means Of direct contact with
the methods of action and their DIFF
ficulties. If it be considered that
the basis of the policy followed in
the Philippines is the preparation
for the Fi,ipinos for the exercise of
the powers Of an Independent govern
ment. It is not seen how under tha
present system such result may he
obtained.
For example. nearly all the chiefs
of bureaus are Americans, as are
their principal assistants and local
agents. The best education would
be that which places the Filipinos
in contact, by virtue Of the duties Of
their offices, with knowledge OF the
methods and practical difficulties in
the civil service. The Americans are
promoted more rapidly than the FIJI.
ipinos in the same office The in
crease of Filipino employees each
year is only apparent.

THE TREND AWAY FROM Gov
EMINENT BY 1.-THE INTER-
EsTs."

Fifteen years ago this was a gov
eminent by "the interests" Their
agents Joined forces, and with little
regard for party affiliations, did the
bidding of predatory wealth. That
was the condition which confronted
the representatives of democracy
when they assembled in national
convention at Chicago. A packed
and servient national committee plac-
ed the gavel of authority in the
hands of David B. Hill, man who
did as much to discredit democracy
as anyone Of his generation. But that
was the beginning of the end Of plus
tocratic rule.
The forces OF democracy revolted
and discredited their treacherous
leaders. They refused to permit
Mr.. Hill to preside, even as temper
ary chairman of the convention. They
took control of that historic assem-
blage and selected w. j. Bryan s
their leader. The supporters and
hirelings Of the interests did every
thing that money could do to prevent
the election of Mr.. Bryan, and in
that particular they succeeded, but
the trend has been away from gov.
8ernment by "the interests" evel
since 1896.
Even New Jersey and New Yorl
are now in the column of progressive
democracy.

The young man said that his father
was sheriff at Owersboro, Kentucky

information that the father would
leave at once for this city to take

The young man arrived in Tulsa
Friday night from Texas, where he
said he had been working i'm the cot

At times he is perfectly rational and
at others he seems TO be hopelessly
