Nebraska Republican
Convention Is Split

LINCOLN, Neb., July 29.-With con-
testing delegations from four of the
most populous counties in the State
Douglas, Lancaster, Gage and Jeffer-
son--as well as from few of the small
Ter counties, the outlook Is for a split in
the Republican State convention which
meets here next Tuesday.
The work of the convention is limited
to the adoption of a platform and the
mittee, nominations for OFFICES having
been made at the Statewide primary
in April.
The difference growing out of the con-
test for control between the Taft and
dorsement of the national administra-
ton and that of Governor Aldrich, who
is a supporter of Roosevelt, are ex-
pected to bring about bitter fight, as
the delegates are about equally divided.

Gyrations of Editor Hearst
is Puzzler to Politicians
CBy Robert Compton.)

Washington, D. c., March 16.-Poli-
ticians are wondering what William
R. Hearst is seeking In the Presiden-
tial race of 1912. The question wheth-
er he is earnestly DESTROYS of seeing
the best Democrat in the White House
or has his eye mainly on the Vice
Presidency, is puzzler to those who
follow the gyrations of office-seekers
That he is after something is patent
to ALL
Mr.. Hearst is aforementioned as a
White House aspirant. He organized
the Independence League for that pur-
pose. In so doing he bolted the Dem
ocratic party, declaring that the time
was ripe for the founding of a third
party whose aim would be to secure
the people their rights. His followers
drawn from the ranks of both parties,
at the time believed him sincere and
followed him blindly. He used the ma
chinery of the independence League
in efforts to become. Governor of New
York and mayor of the Greater City.
Defeated in these ambitions, he turn
ed his back on his league and returned
to the Democratic fold. At the Jack
son dinner Mr.. Hearst was greeted
cordially by the party leaders, and the
keynote of his speech was harmony.
Since his re-entry Mr.. Hearst's
newspapers, claiming an audience of
100000 daily, have been assailing the
claims of Gov. Wilson to the Presi-
dency. Co-incidentally they have been
boosting those of Speaker Clark. Late
ly Mr.. Hearst and John r. Mclean,
who owns newspapers in Cincinnati
and Washington, have formed an alli-
ance, offensive and defensive. Both.
it is asserted, have axes to grind, and
they need each others help.
Mr.. Hearst's bitterness toward Gov.
Wilson, it is said, grew out of the
latter's structures on yellow journal
ism. Gov. Wilson's friends here say
that he wished it understood from the |
outset that he regarded the kind of |

state, and was educated for its benefit
and not for his own good. The state
did not exist for the people, but the
people for the state.
| Now, let us notice in the history OF
our own country. Take in the case OF
the civil war. All the statesmen from
Jefferson and Hamilton to Abraham
Lincoln, including Clay, Calhoun and
Webster, spent their lives in trying to
avoid the war, and settle the slave
question in some peaceable way. At
ter their efforts for more than forty
years, the matter was settled by the
two great soldiers, Grant and Lee.
Does not this show that the soldier
and statesman in America are educat-
ed for the purpose of serving their
country?
Compare the oriental with our pres
ent day conception of education, and
see if you can prove the two lines
parallel" Our modern conception was
not originated within ourselves, but
has passed ages and has undergone
as history records-more than twenty
five centuries.
1t was left for Christ, the only per-
feet teacher, to which the principle
that the good of the individual was
above that of the state. He knew the
value of the human soul. When he
was only twelve years old, He went
out as teacher The greater part of
His life while on earth was spent in
teaching the value of, and lifting I'D
poor souls. Then is not ours a most
noble work? And should not we, as
Christ did, raise the value of the hui
man soul above that of the state?
Does not he, who serves his God. bet.
ter know how to serve his state?
How important it is that we base
our education on this broader view.
The boy Of today will be the citizen
OF tomorrow" Then should not we
teachers teach-as Longfellow says in
his Psalm of Life-"That each tomor-
row finds us farther than today?"
Suppose all of our citizens of today
had been taught as Christ would have
taught them. Would we have had the
bitter, corrupt, political campaign
which has just gone down in the his
tory of our state?
When this broader view is taken as
foundation, and every effort is made
to reach the goal; when We teachers
can say to ourselves, "Well DONE"
then, and not till then, will our educa-
ton reach its aim-ideal citizenship.
