WASHINGTON, Aug. 16--That the seating of
the Taft delegates from Washington by the republic
can national committee thousands of votes in
that state for Col Roosevelt and makes certain pro-
gressive victory in the coming state and national
elections the prediction here today of Senator
Miles Poindexter of Washington in straight-from-
the shoulder interview with the United Press.
. All the progressives," Poindexter said, shave
agreed that new separate tickets, national and state
must be in the field and that there must be no fusion
There is nothing in common between the reactonary
crowd which, with the aid Of the Taft campaign com
mlttee at Chicago, committed political rape on the
state and har-kari on themselves when they sue
ceeded in seating the Taft delegates These elements
are lrreconcilable.
Since the will of the people has been ignored
the progressves have no alternative but to organize
anew.
1.-The sham nomination of Taft has greatly in
creased progressive sentiment in Washington Thou
SANDS OF democrats will vote the progressive national
and state tickets, because the tories still control de-

the first warlike encounter
between white men and In

Continent, took place October Is,
1870.
In the romance of history there
are but few more fascinating fig

gaze upon the Father of Waters"
or to traverse the magnificent val

De Soto, born in poverty at Es-

and shield and returned a few
years later with fortune of a

nobleman, and in his splendid es-

Learn to Hate That Which
Nature Meant Them to Love.

Whether it is because people are
not taking things seriously or be-
cause it is devoutly supposed that
God is so fond of the children that
He will see them through anyway,
however adverse the conditions un-
der which they are reared and their
first start given them, the fact re-
mains that, so far as human re-
sponsibility is concerned, our little
people do not have a fair chance.
One point in particular that l
want to make is that there are few
teachers that have to such degree
the peculiar tact and genius of their
profession as to be able to keep
alive in the child that love Of
knowledge that the child is always
born with.
When he begins thinking he pres
emily blossoms out into a persis-
tent Interrogation point.
To want to know is as natural
to him as to want to eat or to play.
And yet it would not be an over
statement probably to say that
three-Quarters of the children, aft
er they have been held to their
studies for one or two years. enter
the school room with a sigh and
quit it with a shout.
In other words, they learn to hate
what by nature they love.
Truth is the minds natural food,
but either through the fault of the
teacher or through the fault of the
existing school system, what is at
the outset appetizing to the child
becomes repulsive to him, and the
poor creature is fastened down by
the imperious regulations of the

1t is a book that should be in tba

shaping methods of school room

In a volume by Professor Nnns.
terberg, of Harvard university is
an interesting chapter on educa.
ton, in which he recounts his own
experience as a school boy, and how
it came about that without friction
or overstrain he had reached. at the
age of eighteen, as advanced a
stage of training as the Harvard
student has attained at his gradu.
alton.
In explanation of his devotion N
study, which was to him more nlav
than toll he says: The real secret
of it all was this, that my teachers
were enthusiastic on the subjects
they taught.
Il had no teacher who hastily
learned one day What he must teach
the next.
Even the first elements of Greek
and mathematics, of history and
geography, were given to us by men
who had reached the level of the
doctorate.
They had seen their work with
the eye of the scholar, and thus
even the most elementary material
of their science was raised to the
height of scholarly interest"
There is no good work done in
the school room that has not a de-
gree of enthusiasm. of scholarly fire
