LOWELL TALKS ON
 FOUNDERS DAY Public Service Needs Per
 manent Experts CARNEGIE ATTENDS President Lowell of Harvard Makes Chief Address Denouncing Gov
 ernment By Amateurs in
 the United States

Pittsburp. April 27-Founders' Day ex- ercises were held today at Carnegie insti- tute with Andrew Carnegie, the doner of the institution. as the guest or most interest.
 President A. Lawrence Lowell of liar yard university was chief speaker.
 President Lowell argued strongly for permanent experts in the public service his subject being, Experts In Democ- racy."
 ''The habit of frequent changes In pub lie office" he said, means administra- ton by persons unskilled in their duties, government by amateurs. We need in the public service both the expert and the lay elements, and the latter may very we'll take the form of non-professional heads to departmenS, provided they have under them thoroughly competent permanent experts
 We hear much of the evils wrought by huge corporations of the pressure of sell fish interests, of the sins of local poli- ticians. Our people complain loudly, pass and amend Sherman acts that prove inef- fectual and adopt with ardor in genius laws and municipal charters, only to find the old evils recur in new forms, for they still believe that liberty can be bought by formulas and popular enthus- iasm when its only price Is constant viz ilance.
 "On the one side bodies conducted by the best experts that money can produce, retained permanently, on the other are jbest public. officers, devoted and loyal, but often wholly lacking in technical usually deficient in the famil- iarity with the fact that gives mastery of the subject, and almost always without the confidence in the future, which per manent tenure of office gives"
 President Lowell was of the opinion, he said, the nation was slowly making prog ress, and that the scientific depart ments with Washington are filled with men of the highest attachments whom we may hope to see retained in spite of political oscillations.

THE FARMER FREE LIST
By sAv oYARD
IN THE

republican. It is we'll understood that no citizen of the south is eligible to the of flee of President or Vice President. It is known of all men that of the billions paid in pensions to northern soldiers the south cheerfully contributes her share, though the present republican Secretary of the Treasury characterizes the thing thus:
 "We have an enormous civil war pension list which Is not credit to us. It has lost its patriotic aspects and has become & political list, costing the government about s16o,oooooO per year"
 Nor is that all. When the south was prostrate, devastate, helpless, indigent, Congress levied an illegal tax on her cot ton and collected s6s 100000 of it. Not one cent has been refunded. though everybody knows that had this tax been collected from the corn grower he would have re- ceived it back to the uttermost farthing as soon as its illegality was recognized
 Read that editorial from the Washington Post again, study it and master it. What do you conclude? Why, that the south ought to be grateful to Congress that her presence In the Union is not proclaimed as an impertinence and considered as an in- trusion.
 What is the question here? The govern ment exercises the taxing power for the benefit of certain class on the Canadian border, that Is to say, all the people arc taxed for the benefit of few people. But republican President smtes that in- justice and seeks a reform of it. The Washington Post argues that this graft is vested right. and if 1t be taken from the class it benefits something just as good must be substituted for 1t. Read that second paragraph from the Post have quoted again. Was ever such nai- vete before?
 What do we have? The farmers free list" gives to the grain grower free thresh- ing machines. That is all right, because he is republican: but it Is awful to give the southern planter a free cotton gin. Why? I can conjure no reason unless 1t be that he is a democrat It is proposed in this bill to give the cotton planter free bagging; but in the same measure free sacks are provided for the wheat grower. The sack is an absolute necessity to the one and the bagging an absolute necessi- ty to the other
 No, what's the matter is this Cana dian reciprocity Is the tocsin to summon Congress to do the protection principle" to death. Hence the rage.

SNOBBERY IN ANNAPOLIS.

In no country il the system Of caste
which pervails in India more deplor-
ed than in America. We know our
selves to be 30 UNNECESSARILY superior
to all that. And yet the incident
which recently occurred in Annapolis
among our Naval Academy social cir
cles was such an exhibition of false
pride and snobbishness as to suggest
the structure of society in India.
One Of the midshipmen was repri-
manded by hi superior officer because
he escorted to one Of the Academy
dances, a young lady who was occupy
ing d position as companion to the
wife of naval officer, and who assist
ed in the care OF her children. Ii
seems to have been judged improper
for an employe, though of gentle
breeding, in an officers family to be
attending the social functions Of the
Academy. 1t is to be regretted that
such narrow unchivalrous views
should obtain among any Of the oftic-
ers or cadets, and the disapproval,
which the public at large has mani
tested, will do much to revise some
o. these unwritten laws.
