WASHINGTON. Sent 12-As the
climax of the vigorous Republican
condemnation of Democratic legisla-

son declared that the system of
legislation established here" made
his efforts on the committee a
"frace and a fraud"

a summer bed, divided in the centre
so as to give a greater circulation of
air. There was likewise a hollow
front sideboard that became popular
for the ease with which a butler
could reach across for a stray glass
or a piece of chinaware. Possibly
his conversation chair" was the
most original of all, designed as 1t wa
for the beaux of Georgian times,
whose coattails were too costly to be
sat upon. The proper position in this
char was for the sitter to face the
back of the chair with his arms rest
ing on the top rail, so that his coat
tails could hang. The so-called
pouch table," much beloved today by
neat housewives, was Sheraton's in
veetion. 1t was a work table with a
pouch of silk on each side.
Besides his great book Sheraton got
up a handbook for the benefit of his
brother craftsmen, in which he gave
in a healthful manner minute de-
scriptions of his various pieces. The
spirit that prompted him to do this
was the finest thing In Sheraton
nature. He had his faults. He was
narrow, self-centered and bitterly re-
sentful of the success of others, but
he believed 1t to be a mans duty to
give to the world the benefit of his
full knowledge, and he sacrificed
himself through life to do this.

reply was this:
The white collar"
That is it. The prevailing opinion
is that boys are sent to school TO
seek their fortunes by the white col
lar route. They are sent to school
to be fitted for positions. In which
their hands shall not be soiled.
They get the positions. too. That is
the trouble. II Ia a sickening sight

The plight OF great many boys
who study for professions is almost
as bad as that Of those who aim to
become clerks. Each year an army
goes out of the professional schools
with degrees In their hands. only to
find that there Is no place for them.
The average income of the profes.
sional man in this country Is little
above that OF the digger Of bitches.
And yet the force which controls
the public schools Of the United
States Is white cOlIafism. It Il
this which demands Of the teachers
and school boards that polish shall
be the main product OF the schools.
It is not polish that Is needed by
America today--power Is the need.
Unless there Is something beneath
It polish is a fraud. Education should

which does not At him to take ad-
vantage of his opportunities Is q
fraud. Yet what Is demanded In this
country today Is an education which
does not At a boy for life. It is an
education which consists Of smat.

not develop power.
On the other hand, the great work
