MULES AND RELIGION.
Other Difficulties of the Infant Indian

The struggles Of Indian hoys in the dif-
ferent schools with the English language
are revealed in n batch of letters i'll tne

of Indian schools in Oklahoma.

Another Indian boy placed on a farm

wages he received.

MIR. SHAW ON THE NEED OF EDU-
CATIONAI. CAMPAIGNS.

Vermont has sent out few more virile
sons than the Hon Leslie NJ Shaw OF
Chicago. former secretary Of the treas
ury-a man possessing initiative, orig
inality, force, and qualities as political
thinker and speaker that put him In
class by himself. The Hon Charles
p. Smith, president of the Burlington
Savings bank, has received letters from
ex-Secretary Shaw tending to indicate
that the latter has just as pronounced
and forceful views regarding political
issues as when he took so prominent
part in defeating William J. Bryan and
silver imitation. Mr.. Shaw is already
at work. having spoken in six states in
behalf Of militant repubicanism.
The far-reachng character Of the
present political struggle in the estima-
ton of ex-Secretary Shaw is shown by
his statement that he is Interested in
the campaign of 1916 and also in the
campaigns of 1920 and 1894 He thinks
this campaign can be won with votes
cast against the present administration
but he rather win with votes cast for
some principle.
Mr.. Shaw says the party has relied
upon the personality of it's leadership
and organization instead of education,
the last educational campaign having
been waged in 1896. A political party
must be more than an organization
Mr.. Shaws political philosophy and
quaint humor are we'll illustrated in the
following paragraph:
Il confess fear for the pay-rols as
soon as peace Is established The
American people are alike in their re-
iision and their politics. When on til >ir
death beds physically they turn to God,
! and when on their death beds financially
and tndustrially they turn to the ke-
publican party. If we should have
democratic times under a republican ad-
| ministration. where will the people then
to turn to socialism. for they will have
| then lost confidence in the only party
that stands for stability of conditions.
Our salvation lies in actual statesman
ship. plus an educated electorate"
Mr., Shaw evidently fears the dump
Ing Of cheap foreign goods almost as
| much as he feared free silver His is
the sound, wholesome and aggressive
repuolcanism of the sort that made the
Republican party what it was in it's
palmiest days. Would that we had
more Leslie NJ. Shaws preaching the
political gospel of unhyphenated and
aggressive republicanism, which is pure
| Americanism.

when the craze for bulbs drew for

single Semper Augustus 1900 florins
In the fields to-day you will still find
the modern representatives Of those men
OF the Middle Ages, so completely typi-
cal in the face that they might have
stepped from the pictures in the Rijks-
museum at Amsterdam. Sunday and
Monday the roads, now almost desert
ed, will be alive with the people of the
bigger towns who annually flock to the
fields on both tulip and hyacinth Sun
days-thousands on bicycles or on foot,
all bearlg big bouquets Of flowers that
can be had almost for the asking from
the chubby-faced children that line the
roads. Bicycles Will be smothered in
daffodils and tulips, quaint carts will
be lined with the hyacinths threaded az
an English child threads daisies and the
roadside inns Will be garlanded with liv-
ing flowers torn from the rich store
around. I saw a kindly grower open
his fields to a group of lads to pluck
what they wanted-and they did not IN
lure a single bulb, There are plenty of
flowers for all.
And there is waste. II you go into the
fields You will find in the corners huge
heaps of rotting blooms. or see them be-
ing thrown by thousands over the
freshly-dug plots to manure again the
fields that gave them birth. One of
these days an Englshman of means
and a soul-will come this way and
realize that for the expenditure of
few hundred pounds he can minimize
prodigality by shipping blooms to Eng
land and distributing them in the flower
less slums Of London or elsewhere. and
give for a few days a touch of fragrance
to many n dismal home He can get
the blooms for a song: England is but
few hours sail
But even the land Of the tulip has
not escaped the effects of war time, Its
overseas trade has practically ceased;
and even amidst the fields you will
find reminders Of Dutch preparedness
for the fight. Cunningly sccreted among
the dunes could show You weapons
as ugly as the flowers are beautiful Re.
yond the neat bulb stores are grey
wheeled instruments scowling from be-
hind the bars Of certain enclosure;
and as I turn I know l must pass the
grey-garbed sentry with his fixed bayo-
net-the guard OF an army ready If nee
essary. to dye the land as red with the
blood Of an enemy the fields are now
red with the beauty of the bulbs.

VERMONT HEADS THE PROCESSION.

Now, as in various preceding presiden- |
tial contests, Vermont republicanism is
setting the pace for the nation. The
preferential primary furnished unerrng
evidence Of the desire of Vermont that
, Justice Hughes would be the party's
standard bearer in the coming national
struggle. Figures cold and un-
demonstrative, however. 1t remained
for the State republican convention in
one OF the most enthusiastic demonstra-
tions ever given candidate in Vermont
to show how earnestly the republicans
OF this State are devoted to tho idea
! that Hughes is the man to lead to vic |
! tory for genuine republican principles !
and sterling Americanism.
The State convention itself was an
eloquent testimonial to this effect Here |
was a great gathering, including no less |
than Els delegates out Of little over |
GOO entitled to seats in the convention |
who journeyed to Montpelier Of their
own accord, drawn solely by their in
terest and enthusiasm. Vermont had |
spoken for Hughes and there was no
further contest over the presidency.
There was struggle between rival
candidates for places on the delegation
70 the national convention to draw them
out. The delegates journeyed to the
State capital from all parts of the State
simply to exercise their rights citi |
zens in helping on in the work Of select |
ing chief magistrate for the coming
, four years
: 1t splendid looking body of
mon, save the three 'homely" men
given local fame to the edihcation of
| the delegates by Editor johnson Of the
Randolph Herald in seconding the
nomination of Gene Moody Of Water
bury as one of the delegates to the
national convention. 1t was not only
4 fine body of men, but 1t was also
great working body.
The ever increasing wave Of enthus-
iasm for Hughes received among the
delegates It's first marked impetus in
that in his estimation Hughes is the
only man who can be nominated with
out a disagreeable contest and the only |
man who can carry the party to victory
next fall.
Mr.. Wallis assertion that II Hughes
Is nominated unanimously there is no
doubt of his acceptance because he is
too patriotic to refuse, was especially
welcome to Hughes enthusiasts. When
ever the name of the justice happened
to be mentioned in connection with the
nomination of delegates and alternates,
1t was the occasion for renewed
applause.
The resolution introduced by the Hon.
Clarke C. Fits endorsing Hughes for
the presidency and asking the Vermont
delegates to work for his nomination
at Chicago. was the occasion of the
ovation In question to the Justice that
is without parallel in Vermont.
In the light of this resolution of en-
dorsement and call to service for
Hughes In addition to the personal
ovation it will be impossible for any
political enemy to question the charac-
ter of the support given to Hughes In
the Green Mountain State. or question
the loyalty of single member of the
Vermont delegation to the Chicago con-
| vention. Vermont has thus put itself
