Madero's Land Scheme.

too late, was that of new agrarian

Missouri's "Dawg" Song.

Illinois steps into the breach to
prevent a duel between Missouri and
Arkansas over the authorship OF the
folklore lyric commonly called the
Missouri "Dawg" song. The Chicago

carried into st. Louis by a lot OF tired
end thirsty southern Illinois polite
ians. possibly the bath room boys,
though the Tribune does not 30 af-

Not Church Quarrel.

ELM CREEK, Neb., Feb. 22.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: We desire to make a
statement in regard to the published re-
port OF the recent attack upon Prof.
Thonnes. who has been assisting In con-
Quoting a revival in the Methodist church
here. The statement made In The Bee
which associates the gymnasium Of the
Christian church. church differences or
alleged attacks by evangellsts on the
Christian church, with the assault are all
absolutely unfounded.
Evangelist Smith has never criticised
the Christian church unjustly, nor has
the said church opposed through the
gymnasium or any, other channel the
work which was being done by the Meth
odist church. Furthermore, the manage
ment Of the gymnasium cancelled all
evening classes during the meetings. The
whole affair is unfortunate and stands
condemned by both churches. Innocen;
parties should be cleared and the story
Of The row between the evangelist and the
church and the gymnasium having to dc
with egging the professor are without
foundation.
Furthermore no row or church differ.
fences exist between the churches in.
volved in the writeup. namely. Methodist
and Christian churchs.

Taft or ROOSEVELT

The republican standard bearer to
be named at Chicago will be either
William H. Taft or Theodore Roose-
welt.
That the competition will be mar
rowed down to a clear cut contest be-
tween these two is now plain from
the announcement by Colonel Roose-
welt that he is a candidate. and Will
accept the nomination II it is ten
dered to him. President Taft having
ayowed himself in the fight some
time ago.
To those who have been watching
the current Of political events, the
Roosevelt announcement is not at all
unexpected, although 1t is more IN
conditional in form than anyone
would have predicted.
None will deny that Colonel Roose-
velt's personality has a wonderful
hold upon the mass OF the people. As
president he came nearer being the
type OF popular hero than any one
who has occupied the executive office
in recent years. and he made a record
of which his party, and his country,
are justly proud. But Mr.. Taft has
likewise been an honest, conscientious
and courageous president and has
made an enviable record bf achieve
ment for which he has a right to ask
the customary endorsement. Just as
did President Roosevelt at the end OF
his first term.
For ourselves, The Bee believes
Mr.. Taft has better claim to a sec
ond term than Colonel Roosevelt has
TO third term. II has been often
proved that when they take time to
consider a subject thoroughly the
great majority OF our American peo-
pie are not carried away solely by
emotion. More than three months
remain before the nomination. dur
ing which certain weaknesses Of Col
onel Roosevelt as a candidate. as
compared with President Taft, will
have to be given their due weight by
thinking folks. As tersely put. the
decision must be reached purely
from the standpoint Of the interests
OF the people as a WHOLE" or. in other
words, In answer TO the question
whether the interests OF the people
as a whole will be subserved by up.
setting all precedent and refusing a
denomination to President Taft. who
has made good and earned a vote OF
confidence.

will never realize her own possibili-
ties, commercially or politically, until
then.
1t is a task the new regime has to
meet to turn a people accustomed by
ages OF fighting face about to see and
recognize the advantages Of the
peaceful pursuits Of industry, and
this is its largest task. It was to
this juncture in Mexican history that
Diaz, great in his day, brought Mex
leo. If Madero is to improve upon
Diaz TO the extent he should, he will
show himself equal 10 the work he
inherited from the man he over
threw. And he addresses himself to
the task with most intelligent de-
termination.

Vocational Training.

Minneapolis is going to give voea-
tional training a trial on large
scale. II has arranged to erect a
building costing 81, 900, 900 as tech
meal high school, the last two years
Of whose course will be wholly voca-
tional along business and Industrial
lines. Thus 1t reduces the question
at once to a practical test and Its
experiment will be watched with
eagerness by other cities OF the west
contemplating a similar step.
OF course. this is not the first voca-
tional training school. by any means,
but 1t will embrace unique features.
Minneapolis claims the largest high
school attendance in proportion to
population Of any American city,
there being 6.lO0 pupils in its five
high schools and its total number Of
children OF school age is $4,000. 1t
stands to reason, therefore. that its
new school may be expected to be
well patroniEed.
The belief is growing In this coun-
try that there is a decided lack Of
proper articulation between the last
grade In the public schools and the
first high school year and many
cities, whether going over to voca-
tional training or not. are setting
about to meet this so-called defect In
the system. The Minneapolis plan
eontemplates that. But aside from
this feature, vocational training ap-
peals to those who feel the necessity
OF children preparing themselves for
immediate and definite service in
life, while II Is opposed by those who
believe that the prime function Of
education Is to teach children how to
live. instead OF merely how to per-
form some given task In life. The
latter hold to the necessity OF laying
broad foundation in general educa-
ton and argue, not wholly without
ground. that vocational training tends
to defeat that purpose.
1t is being maintained by some
that the hope Of the next generation
actually lies largely in the POSSIBLE
tiles OF vocational training as the
best means Of developing healthy, In
telligent children and securing that
panacea OF economic dlsorder-ln-
dustrial efficiency. These urge that
this 10 one Of the vital elements In
the solution Of the high-cost-of-livins
problem and that. therefore, It must
come. All the more interest. then
centers about the Minneapolis ven
ture.
