Every ten years the Russian Govern
ment has resorted to the invention Of
new reasons why the Russian popula-
iion should hate the Jews. In the

in array the Russians against the Jews
IN religious grounds. The ritual MUIR

the irnorant peasants by the priests in
The villages and the towns within the

about ten years later the Government
started an anti-Jewish campaign on
economic grounds. The peasants were
assured that the Jews were exploiting
them. This bubble was burst when it
was shown statistically that the peasan,
population within the pale OF Jewish
,.,'lrmrnt is by far more prosperous,
han the peasant population outside the
pale.

other elements Of progressive Russia
fought and died that Russia might be
free. Then the jew was no longer
mocked as a coward, but he was branded
as rcvolutionist and a policy Of ven-

but he was hisscd and driven in dis
grace from the platform. Then Minister
of Justice Scheglovitov informed the
Car that ritual murder had been
committed in Kiev by the Jews The
Car ordered the Department of Justice
to proceed with the case for the pur-
pose Of discrediting the Jews before the

absurd evidence has been manufactured
to frame up ritual murder case.

brated the German Victories Of GEN.
tury ago, but according to the Princes
opinion 1t overpraised Napoleon and
underrated the Prussian heroes. At the
end of the first performance the Prince
announced that he would resign from
the patronage Of the festival II the
managers continued to produce the play.
The BurgOmaster. who was in Berlin.
at once telegraphed home In great trepi-
dation to stop the performance, but the
management failed to open his telegram
until after the final curtain. The play
was then withdrawn.
The Cumberland affair. in which the
fortunes OF the Kaiser's only daughter
are involved, has given the Crown
Prince new opportunity to set himself
against his father in the sensational and
public way which he seems to enjoy.
The Cumberland family has never
yielded its claim to the throne OF Han
over, though Hanover as such ceased to
exist and became part Of the kingdom
OF Prussia in 1866. The heir to the
duchy ia required by his family on at
tanning his majority to take an oath
never to renounce this claim. This pro-
cedure was followed in the case Of the
eldest son OF the present Duke. But
this son died. and the succession fell to
young Prince Ernst, then an officer In
the Prussian army. For some reason
Prince Ernst has never taken the
| family oath.
When last spring his marriage to thu
Kaiser's only daughNer was being ar
ranged the matter Of the Hanover claim
was q dificult one. But the Emperor
urged on by his daughter 1t is said
decided not to haggle over the TOR
mality Of O definite oath OF PRONUNCIATION
The sun., 1913-11-02

and to accept as guarantee for the
future Ernst's oath of allegiance and
letters pledGing himself not to support
any measure to detaCh Hanover from
Prussia. He further arranged that the
young Prince and his bride should be
enthroned after their marriage as Duke
and Duchess of Brunswick. and inti-
mated that other honors might be in
store for them.
This ARRANGEMENT hardly lasted
through the wedding festivities. which,
notable as they We're. did not entirely
silence certain political influences op-
posed to the Kaiser and his internal
policies. 1t Is as an ally Of these in
fiuences. openly and fatty opposed to
his father that the Crown Prince has
now come forward. He has written a
vigorous letter to the Imperial Chan
cellor referring to his brother-in- laws
anxiety" to ascend the throne OF
brunswick without formally renounc-
ing his Hanoverlan claim. and declar-
ing that the Prince should not be al
lowed to enter Brunswick as its Duke
until he had "clearly and categorically'
renOunced his and his offspring's claim
to the throne Of Hanover.
The Princes letter has served tt
revive the whole Cumberland feud
Prince Ernst has assumed the naughty
attitude not uncommon In his famil,
and declares that though not bound by
the family oath strictly speaking he is
bound by family honor. and he has be-
taken himself home to his father leav'
ing his bride Of six months with hei
mother.

fiat opposition has the backing OF onl,

press. which generally has deplored
his action as impulsive and i'll advised
and which sees in the incident the pos
sible beginning of an unfortunate dy-
nastic quarrel.
The Kaiser's frame Of mind over this
last i'll timed irruption OF his heir can
readily be imagined He Is naturally
possessed with rage at the defiance Of
his son and at the self-righteous atti-
tude the Crown Prince has assumed in
taking a stand more German than that
OF his father He Is annoyed too by the
needless distress brought on his beloved
daughter by her brothers hot headed
action. and more than anything else IS
he deeply apprehenslve Of a future for
Germany when his carefully studied and
balanced policies for the advancement
Of the empire may be tossed aside at the
whlm OF an impulsive. unframed ruler.
1t Is useless to try to punish the
young man. The Kaiser refused to
meet him for a long time and the
Princes absence from various official
functions. notably the dedication Of the
great memorial at Lelpsic this month,
where practically every Prince Of the
empire was present, has been attributed
to this cause. More recently the
harassed father sent for his son and
held a long private interview with him.
What happened is not known. Ger.
many hopes that the Kaiser has found
some means OF persuading his son ia
more diplomatic conduct, but Germany
knows that diplomacy is not achieved
over night. nor are antipathetic tenn
peraments reconciled In one hour OF
two. Hence all Germany Is awaiting
with uncOncealed interest the next de.

Larger appropriations, longer terms, increased salaries, new respOnsibili- ties, better opportunities, demand new and better habits of study and of work on the part of the teaching force of this state. And the eight hundred teachers who are here today are not insensible to these new con ditions, nor are they unresponsive to the new demands. So it is timely, it is we'll to have with us these leaders of educational thought and experi- ence. They bring to you the best seed for the planting for the schools of Arizona, and you will not go back to these schools empty handed.
 Tt is a special privilege and pleas ure for me to meet you Arizona teachers because you are Arizona teachers. And since it is our fair week. I think I have a right to feel that Arizona teachers are just as good as other teachers in some ways, and just little bit better in most ways.
 Tt is fair time now and may we not in keeping with the spirit of the fair, be thinking of the prizes we might win in our work in education. It is not enough for us to lead the world in the output of our mines and the products of our fields; We~should take the lead as well in the higher successes of our schools. We are gO- ing to have our summer schools and reading circles, a course of study better than the one we have, inn proved certification for our teachers, better teaching for our boys and girls, and better habits of industry for our selves, but why not go still further and have the very best of all these things.
 They tell us that within the next ten years progress will build five million homes to guard and grace the fertile mesas of the Colorado; they tell us that within this time the wild dynamic forces of that river, tanned and bitted by the ingenuity of man, will turn the tireless wheels of million splendid industries in this growing state of ours.

SUPERINTENDENT CASES
 SPEECH TO TEACHERS
Interesting Remarks on "The Pioneer and the Present Arizona School
 Teacher"

C. O. Case, superintendent of pub lie instruction of Arizona, is coming into great demand as speaker at meetings of teachers organizations The present joint teachers institute is no exception to that rule. Prof Case, who is one of the pioneer in structOrs of the state, in addition to being state superintendent, was for merly a teacher in the Phoenix high school, delivered a very nice speech to the teachers assembled in Phoenix at the morning session on Wednes- day. In order that those who were not fortunate enough to attend may know what he said, the following excerpts of his remarks are here with gladly published:
 There was a time. not so long ago either, when Arizona was not what it is today. That time was in the trying territorial days, when the naughty rancher, who now has his automobile, orange grove and cotton field. humbly but doggedly held down his 160 acres of drought and barren ness just to. keep from reverting to Uncle Sam, who had no use for it whatever, and did not want it at all. And that was the time, too. in those hard-up days, that school boards hired school teachers, just long enough and no longer than was need ed to keep their districts from laps ing The time per year for the aver age teacher in those days was di- vided into two unequal parts. The smaller consisted of a five months school and the larger part consisting of seven months vacation. Five months in and seven months out was the rule and the practice of our pro- fession then. and during the seven months out the forlorn teacher had a chance to learn the full significance of the word out; he was out of q job. out of cash, out at the elbows, out Of luck generally; still he stayed in Arizona, and formed the habit during the long lazy vacation time at least of doing nothing in a general way, and for that matter nothing in a special way for himself profession ally, unless it be he may have de- rived some little professional satis- faction and encouragement in meeting his fellow pedagogues betimes in inn proViSed institutes on deserted street corners and entering into long and stout discussion on the value of cor poral punishment and the intrinsic virtues of the vertical system of writing
 But those times of which we speak are gone, and it may not appear irreverent on our part to say that it may be well that they are gone. And the teacher? He did perhaps about the best with the chance he had, but he has a better chance now. What he did then suited the times DerhaDS in which he did if but it would be simply inadequate now.
