A LESSON TO EDITORS


While Gov. Wilson and Col. Harvey
are weeping upon one another's
BOSOM" Col. Watterson tells us in his
latest final statement that
From first to last / have been act
ing not only with Col. Harvey's full
knowledge and approval but upon his
insistence; that from the beginning
he was most impatient of delay,
sending a personal representative to
me in Atlanta the oath of December,
and again the same representative to
Richmond the 31st of December, urg-
ing me to take the initiative; that he
was unqualified in endorsing my
statement of the Manhattan Club in
cident, writing forthwith to declare it
New Willard in Washington up to
last Sunday night, sharing all | did
and had done.
We are unable to reconcile Col.
Watterson's description of Col. Har-
vey's activities with Col. Harvey's
letter of Jan. to Gov. Wilson: Il
think it goes without saying that no
purely personal issue could arise be-
tween you and me-" Possibly Col.
Harvey found Col. Watterson's sup
port embarrassing" as Gov. Wilson
had found Col Harvey's support "em-
barrassing."
Now that everybody has repudiated
everybody else, the World may be
permitted to draw the obvious moral,
which is lesson to all editors.
That lesson is this: An editor
should not try to be a managing poll
utician; he should be no candidates
confidential campaign adviser; he
should raise no campaign funds for
any candidate; he should have no Sc
cret campaign conferences with any
candidate; he should be an editor and
leave to politicians the business of
political manipulation.
The two jobs are incompatible. An
editor who becomes a political mana
ger must either sacrifice some of his
independence as an editor or neglect
his work as politician. His init
mate personal relations with the can
didate are continuing entangling al
lance.
If Col. Harvey had kept away from
Gov. Wilson it would have made no
difference to him whether the govern
or found the support of Harper's
Weekly embarrassing or not. He
would not have been editing Harper's
Weekly to please or displease Gov.
Wilson. If Col Watterson had not
invited Gov Wilson to political con-
ference or undertaken to raise a
Wilson campaign fund he would be
in a much happier frame of mind to-
day.
The World has always found it bet
ter to have no personal relations ex-
cept in news-gathering way with
candidates whom it is supporting for
office. 1t prefers to have no editorial
acquaintance with them, however
charming they may be. 1t never cares
whether they are satisfied or dissat-
isfied with the policy of the paper
toward them. They are at liberty to
praise it or repudiate it, as they
please, and we go our way unvexed.
The World has always been edited
for the benefit of the public, not for
the benefit of a candidate, and we
find it works excellently well. Fur.
thermore, it has been our experience
that candidates whom we supported
often embarrassed us much more
than we could possibly embarrass
them. This is our little lesson to ed
itors. They are free to take it for
what it is worth.-World.

THE LITTLE SCHOOLS NEED OUR
HELP


The following is a republication of
an editorial that appeared in the Ban
ner several years ago:
What Would BE Our cifts of Mil
lions?
Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller has given
away millions-more than one hun
dred millions-for the cause of high
er education, and Mr.. Andrew Carne-
gle has given away millions for the
establishment of public Libraries.
We have been asked what would
we do IL we were burdened with mil
lions? Would our benefactions be
given along the same lines?
No. Not TO the amount OF single
dollar.
Books. periodicals and newspapers
are so cheap and SO manifold in the
information that they impart that the
demand for public Libraries seems no
longer necessary, and there are so
many colleges and universities in the
country that great endowment OF
others seems a waste. Indeed, the
colleges are so numerous that they
are compelled to pursue systematic
and constant system of advertising
10 obtain pupils.
But there will always be demand
for the little red school house that
has taken the place of the log school
house of the early days of the re-
public, from which so many of the
men who made our nation great re-
ceived their only education.
IL nh
millions: We would have these hous-
es built with simplicity, but with as
great architectural beauty as posi-
BILE, and we would have them supplied
with all the paraphernalia needed to
impart a good common education to
the children in the neighborhood. We
would have the grounds beautified
and the flag to float from every spire,
but we would not necessarily have
the houses painted red. We think
the coolr somewhat gaudy. We
would supplement the pay of the
teachers and would make it possible
for every child in the land to re-
ceive the common rudiments of an
education. We would let no child
grow up ignorant of the fundament-
ais. He should at least be grounded
in the three RS.
We would require the teachers to
teach patriotism, peace, fraternity
and tolerance.
And then we would place into the
hands of the Kings Daughters fund
large enough to relieve the pressing
needs of the INDECENT poor and unfor-
tunate.
That would be the shape our bene-
faction would assume If we were
oyer-burdened with millions.
We have recently been in receipt
OF several letters from Mr.. D. G..
Amber. who is temporarily residing
In Washington City. whose ideas run
along in the same channel.
Mr.. Amber was the pioneer Jack
sonville banker after our civil war;
he was a private in the company
which made General Dickson famous.
He is intensely interested in the
establishment of a school at some
point In Florida for the education of
children of Confederate soldiers, mod
eled after the Berry school in Rome,
Ca /,
Mr.. Amber sends us the following
letter from Miss Berry, the founder
of the school, which is proving
mighty success. and is winning lau-
rels everywhere.
We print the letter. although it is
somewhat lengthy, because it de-
serves to arrest attention.
We shall follow up the discussion
of the founding of such school in
Florida in future issues of the Ban
ner.
The letter follows:

Miss serry's Letter to Mr.. Amber

Rome, Ca, Jan. 20, 1912.
Mr.. ID. q. Amber, Washington, D. c.:
Dear Mr.. Amber am very glad
10 write and tell you about our won
derful school, but want to invite
you to come and see our school, be-
cause the half can never be told. II
would afford me so much pleasure to
have you as our guest. We can make
you comfortable, and / am sure that
your visit would prove to be one of
intense interest to you in every way.
We are sending you catalogue and
other literature under separate cover,
which tells the aim and object of
our work. We do not take students
from towns and cities where they
have opportunities of securing good
nine months schooling. If we took
students from cities we would not
have room for the poor boys and
girls in the mountains and isolated
districts. The cities of Atlanta, Chat
tanooga and Rome alone would crowd
our buildings. Our school is for the
poor boys and girls who have never
had a chance. and the priceless ad.
vantages they receive here in the
school room, industrial training and
agriculture is worth everything to
them. Almost every boy and girl in
our two schools are descendants Of
Confederate Veterans, and many OF
them can trace their ancestors back
TO revolutionary times.
We like your suggestion about pro
viding for as many as 100 sons OF
grandsons of Confederate soldiers

MARTHA BERRY.
A Berry School, located at Ocala or
some other convenient point in the
state would do more practical good
than a half dozen colleges operated
as colleges usually are, and we hope
that Mr.. Ambler's suggestion will
bear fruit so rich that we shall see
one established.
1t does seem as if Ocala can raise
$4,000 for the aid of college in a
distant city, having six or seven in
the state already, that we could do
something for a home school, model
ed after the Berry school, the object
of which is to look after the practi-
cal and industrial education of the
INDECENT boys and girls of our state.

Model Chicken House at State Fair

WOQCl SIuCNCb T1SASS az Ss~sS -,
A model chicken house, containing
J dozen pure bred White Leghorn in
cubator pullets Matched April 10, was
shown at the State Fair to illustrate
the practice of deep litter feeding,
which is urged by the college OF Agri-
culture of the University of Wiscon-
sin. Deep litter feeding makes lazy
hens active, keeping them healthy
and promoting egg production. Ten
or twelve inches of clean straw are
spread on the floor as often as need
ed and the feed is kicked into this
so as to make the hens work. The
drinking water is set on a shelf big
enough for the chickens to stand on,
and high above the litter. Trap nests
are used in order to weed out the
non-producers A platform drop board
is hinged to the wall and about two
feet above the floor. 1t may be quick
cleaned in the morning and the front
eder swung up and hooked out OF
the way The roosts are laid IN
mortises so they can be removed
when cleaning the dropping board
Grit and shells are kept in self-feed-
ing hoppers hung on the wall above
the litter. Ventilation is secured by
a window covered with chicken wire
in summer and by muslin in winter.
The door is hung a foot above the
floor to avoid the litter when open
ing it.
