FORWARD AND BACK.

Col. Roosevelt s attitude and that
of the Progressive party toward the ne
eroes of the North as compared with
the attitude of himself and that party
toward the negroes of the South, Is
one which is causing a good deal of
difficulty to the rank and file TO ex-
plain,
AS Col Roosevelt said, he himself
was the author and originator of this
difference of treatment of the negro,
North and South. He stated on his
return TO New York that he laid down
the law on this, and told the convention
that il must be as he said or he would
refuse the nomination. OF course, As
he was the only possible candidate,
the convention had to give in.
With regard to the attitude of the
other main parties toward the negro,
Col. Roosevelt writes in the Outlook
that the Democratic attitude toward
the colored population has been one
of brutality; the Republican attitude
that of hypocrisy, while that of his
own is al once courageous and humane
It is noteworthy, however, that Col
Roosevelt has been at one with the
Republican attitude on this question un'
iii tho month of June. OF this year
when the Republican party refused him
the nomination. 1t is as certain as any
thing car be also that Col. Roosevelt;
would still have been with the Repub
lican party in its attitude Of "hy
pocrisy' on the negro question if il
had given him the nomination.
SO the whole matter is one simply OF
| politics and the personal politics OF
one mans ambition. entirely persona
and selfish at that.
With regard 70 the attitude of Roose
velt's own party toward the negro il
simply amounts TO this; that the negro
is recognized by the Roosevelt party
where the negro has vote. and wher'
the negro is deprived of the voting
privilege, then the negro is politically
outlawcd bv the Progressive party. i
is impossible 20 see anything Of principle
in that sort OF division. IL is simply
! a play for votes, and brutal disregard

THE BURLEY CUTOFF.

II is difficult to understand what
the Department OF the Interior means
by its shabby, shifty treatment OF
the Oregon Short Line in the matter
OF the construction of the Burley cut
of. The Oregon Short Line has built
a great deal of railroad in southern
Idaho in the last few years, among
which is this line TO Burley, IT oners
a favora BILE opportunity for a cutoff to
be built to direct connection with
the Southern Pacific at the southern
point OF the Promontory. The COM
pany proceeded TO get its right-ot-way,
to grade the track and TO prepare
for the laying of the rails. There was
not only no objection on the part OF
anyone to the building of this road; on
the contrary, the settlers were all en-
Enthusiastically in favor OF 1T. The road
would help everybody. and there was
no reason in the world why it should
not be built. but every reason why 1t
should be.
All at once, however, the Depart
ment of the Interior stepped IN ana
forbade the laying of the rails until
indemnity could be provided against
damage TO the National interests. IhaI
was easily fixed because there was no
possibility of damage to the Nation, 10
anv oflicialdom, or TO any interest,"
whatever. Then the company got ac-
tive for the completion of the road.
But as explained by Mr.. 2. l.. Williams
in The Tribune yesterday morning, the
Department OF the Interior has called
a halt again. The Secretary is said to
be working on another stipulation, the
design of which is unknown, and can
not be imagined. The former stipula.
tion required of the company was
readily furnished. under protest, to be
sure, because the company did not be-
lieve that the Department had any
right TO interfere, since the right-of-
way was not in any way dependent
upon the Department, but had already
been Independently procured.
The excuse for the interference of
the Department is because of the de-
ferred payments by settlers of the
land reclaimed under the National IT.
rigation law: but so far as the con
struction Of this road being any
hindrance, it would be Of vast and posi-
tive help; for the settlers, by the con.
struction of this road, will be furnished
with transportation for their crops to
market, and for supplies for tbem-
selves. In every way the construction
of the road is both public and prl~
vate advantages; and yet this construc-
tion is held up on a wholly fictitious
pretense.
To be sure, this is only one of vast
number OF other instances whereby the
meddlesome conservation notion tends
TO paralyze the development of all
this Western country, and to retard Its
settlement. The general effect of the
conservation idea is TO drive American
settlers to Canada, and to prevent the
settlement of this mountain region. 1t
is thoroughly eXasperating hind
rance at times; but since the conser-
vation faddists seem to take comfort
in blocking the progress Of the west
so far as they possibly can, we shall
have to bear the nuisance with what
patience we may.

feeling this way one. cannot help
but think that this is just what pub
ic schools should stand for; the
moral and physical perfection of
boys and girls, that they may develop
into such men and women as will
add glory to the community, the
state, the nation. Virginia schools
stand for just these things.
The School Equipment.
When l first looked into the Vir-
ginia schools my mind went back
to early days out west, to school
that was held in what we all called
the meetin' house." a great barn of
a structure, erected to the glory Of
God by some very devout but narrow
minded people who insisted thai
there was but one road to heaven
and that road was toll road in
their possession. The school was in
session about six months each year,
if the school trustees could find
teacher big enough and brutal
enough to overawe the pupils, and
keep them in subsection. I recalled
the many teachers we had, generally
men who were considered too thrift
less and noaccount for mems work
but we'll enough equipped to teach
school, provided only the pupils
would let them. One of the most
successful teachers we had in those
days,-successful because he could
whip in a standup fight the biggest
boy in school, and was therefore en-
abled to teach for two consecutive
years, grew tired of the emoluments
of his office, and went to cattle
"rustling." subsequently serving
term in the penitentiary. He was
a good man, all right, all right, for
he flogged the writer Of this, every
day promptly at twelve, during a
whole term, under the idea that that
was the most effective way to teach
''spellin'."
l started out to write Of the Vir-
GINA schools, but before getting into
the subject, permit me, by way of
contrast, paint little picture of that
old first ward school, in the old first
ward "meetin' house." l wish you
could see the long wooden benches,
soft enough to nicely carve with a
jackknife. but to sit on through the
Icing days Of fall and spring, harder
than bessemer. Sundays these bench
| es were arranged in two long rows,
| stretching from just in front of the
| pulpit to the door, and the women
sat on one side of the church and the
men on the other. During school

our schools, declaring, in each in
stance, that according to all reports
the public educational machinery of
this district is, beyond doubt, the
best that any community can afford.
. The school question is one very
near the common heart. All people
are interested in schools The first
thing a man thinks of when the mat
ter of moving into strange COM
munity is up for consideration, is,
what kind of schools have they
there? l must go where my children
will not be HANDICAPPED In their
school work. 1t is needless to say
that no man has recently decided
against Virginia as a place of resi-
dence on account of Virginia schools,
and it is more than likely that many
OF" the newcomers decided to move
their families to this place only after
learning how really excellent the
public schools are.
What the Schools Stand for.
What do the public schools stand
for? Are public schools merely to
teach boys and girls the ordinary
branches of learning, with no
thought Of the moral side Of the
question? II such were the case
public. schools would be worse than
useless. That system of education
which takes no thought Of the boys
In her self, of his moral responsibility
tosfhe state is, to say the least, VIC
iohs and utterly unworthy the sup
pert Of the public. The work Of the
mDdernsch is not merely to teach
tt1e boy to read and write, to fill
hi mind with rules and facts, to see
how much information can be
crammed into him, indeed, the work
Of schools deserving the support Of
tho public, is hardly along these
likes at all. But rather to enable
boys and girls to grow into magnif1-
cent men and women. The heart,
tho brain, the hand, the mental and
physical have got to be trained to-
eetiier, with the idea of making q
balanced man, or a balanced woman.
souinA, very scholarly men, and
most brilliantly polished women are
cowsrdl and moral weaklings.
UnlAsas the school will make my
bog bravers unless it will instill into
hi pl6saic mind the glory Of truth,
