'The Poor, Dear, Old, Foolish Demo
cratic Party, Why II Fails"-John
Sharp Williams

Senator John Sharp Williams OF
Mississippi, who was the democratic
leader in the House before Underwood
and who berated his colleagues in the
senate Wednesday for quarreling over
the selection of reserve cities and 9th
err matters, declared the party was
beginning to do just what it could be
counted upon doing every time.
"The poor, dear, old, foolish, dem
ocratic party" said the democratic
senator, sis going through the same
game that she can be generally trust
ed to go through soon after she gets
into power.
"That is the democratic party, true
enough" he continued "That is its
history. That is what lead Speaker
Tom Reed to say in 1894 and 1895:
You can't last long because you are
not accustomed to governing any
body or anything;; you cannot govern
the country because you cannot gov
ern yourselves. You are incompe-
tent"

The first special write-up edition of
a Lamar paper was the Leader of
September 9, 1887, and perusal of
that shows what wonderful changes
have taken place in business way in
81 years. OF the business concerns
represented in its write-ups and ads
not one exists today in the same name
as then and only four of our present
day citizens are represented at all.
The First National Bank was here
then as now, but a perusal of the list
of officers and directors reveals only
one name familiar to present day La
mar, +. l.. Koen was assistant cash.
Ter. Huddleston & WEIGH were SELL
ing hardware, the senior member be-
ing our C. C. Huddleston. Goodale &
Cooper were doing business as attor-
neys and real estate agents, Hon. e.
G. Goodale being the senior partner.
Doughty & Morris were in the same
business, the senior partner being our
present mayor. In all the four pages
of write-ups and ads no other names
are mentioned in anyway connected
with present day Lamar except the
real estate firm of A. E. Bent & Co.
There were few others of our citi-
zens here, some of them in business,
but they evidently did not patronize
the special edition. This was the per-
iod when Lamar had fractional war
on so fierce that one at least of the
editors had hired gun men to guard
him, and no doubht it would require
copies of each of the four papers to
show up all the business men. Be-
sides the Leader, the Register, and
Sparks were each running, and the
Daily Advocate with Charlie Ross for
editor and the famous Ben Daniels
and still more famous Bat Masterson
as guards.

What the Voting Shows

Protection! Nobody will deny that
Colonel Roosevelt is likable man
with most attractive personality.
Otherwise he could never had the re-
markedly successful career in politics
which he enjoyed while he remained
with the republican party. 1t is not
surprising that he has profound re-
spect for the party which conferred
upon him all his official honors. We
have always regarded it as a great
misfortune both to Mr.. Roosevelt and
to his party that conditions arose
which led to the separation. He had
been vigorous advocate of the great
republican policy of protection-a pol
icy which has been abandoned under
the present administration by those
in an error and that the country will
prosper as well or better without it.
This is an attractive theory. How has
it stood the test of practical expert
ence? Is there more employment for
labor? Are the factories buster =?
Have wages been maintained? Has
the cost of living been reduced? Let
the people answer in the light of ex-
perience. We have always believed
in protective policy. Protection is
being made the liveliest issue just
now at all industrial centers. The re-
cent election in New Jersey to fill
a congressional vacancy resulted in
. clean sweep for the protectionist
The Lamar register., 1914-06-10

candidate. In the Pittsburg district
congressional primary, Representa-
tive Kelly has just been refused a
nomination by the republicans because
he voted for reduced tariff. The
noticeable return of the progressives
to the republican fold is being made
largely on the issue of protection. At
Gary, the big steel city of Indiana,
recently, the progressives polled SO
votes at the primaries and the repub-
leans 1879, though Roosevelt carried
the county in 1912. In Indiana .Har-
Dor, another industrial town, the Bull
Moose ticket polled 40, the republic
cans lib and the democrats 108.
With protection as the supreme issue
in 1916 republicans of all factions
can and should get together. Perhaps
they will, for we have observed that
in his address to his enthusiastic
townsmen at Oyster Bay recently Mr..
Roosevelt frankly said: 81 have ev-
cry confidence in the integrity of
the rank and file of the republicans"
The prosperity of the country will be
the issue in 1915 both for capital and
labor. Protection is the issue in 1914.
Watch the results!

Closed For the Summer


appropriately written over the doors
of 1000 Colorado rural school houses,
for this is actually what happens ev-
cry year from June to September. Ed
ucation ceases as far as the school is
concerned when the regular term is
closed. The teacher sewers her con-
nection with the school, in most cases
forever, and in all cases until the fall
term begins, the school house is clos
ed and left to the mercy of the ele-
ments, the grounds to grow up to
weeds, the children trudge home and
the educational system takes rest.
Why? Because we have always done
| it this way. We seem to regard edu-
cation as a periodic and not a contin-
uous process, and because Of this be-
lief our educational plant lies dormant
during the season when nature is
most active and our educational sys-
TEN is unproductive while the earth
brings forth her harvest. Nature has
her best lessons to teach in the sum-
mer, her text books are free, while
fresh air, sunshine, health and vigor
are furnished those who study in her
laboratory. The greatest Summer
school" is the one maintained by
mother Nature and she offers courses
in every rural district and yet no pro-
vision is made in our school system to
take advantage Of them.
In the fall school opens again, in
most cases with a new teacher who
tries for days to find the pages Of the
last lessons assigned, and weeks in
trying and fitting" to see where the
pupils belong, then to discover that
knowledge is volatile and that much
of what should have been remembered
has evaporated during the long sum-
mer vacation.
Time is lost, money is wasted, the
children become discouraged, and lose
grades, drop back, grow old and drop
out of school without getting even an
elementary education. These are some
of the reasons that three-fourths Of
all the children in the rural districts
never finish the first eight grades.
Much of this could be prevented II
every country school had ten-acre
school farm, modern school house,
and cottage home for the teacher
who is employed by the year and
could remain in the district during the
summer months and meet the pupils
once a week at the school house and
have charge of Boys and Girls Clubs
and otherwise direct their educational
activities throughout the year instead
of the itinerant teacher employed for
but few months.
