Largest of Mexican States and

"Such allotments would make

Best known of these is the historic

of silver. Many of the silver mines
possess ores of so, so and even rs

IMPROVING OUR SCHOOLS.

l
Newark's Board of Education has
lust adopted a new salary schedule
that will safeguard it against the
loss of its best teachers, and ought
to attract to the profession many
who are now looking to the factories
and commercial pursuits for oppor-
tunities to enable them to meet the
higher living costs. Az increase OF
$500 a year will be given to all OIL
the two thousand teachers effective
September /; each teacher will re-
ceive a bonus of 500 on June 30;
beginning September 1. 1921, h
salaries of the women are to be
made equal to those paid to the
men; and the minimum salary a
been raised from 5000 to $1,3O0.
Trenton several months ago rails
ed the minimum from $500 TO Sl,loV
ard made substantial increases in
tho maximum salaries that Will De
eventually earned. The new sched-
ule is to be made effective with the
beginning of the new school year.
Each teacher will get an increase OF
S40o a year in addition 10 the m
creases received for extra WORK am
in the regular course under the ola
schedule. 80
But Trenton has not reached the
point where it will offer to the wom-
en- who do equally good work as the
men. the same compensation Al
does. however, offer a years leave of
bsence lat full pay, less the sal
la1y of a substitute teacher. for study,
observation and increasing efhci-
ency," as it provided in Newarhs
new schedule. The time Will un-
doubtedly come when worth, and
not sex. will fix the teachers salary.
Newark's latest move has been
hailed as 1.-THE most liberal policy
adopted in this country, and as like.
lly to attract the best educators.
Trenton is not far behind-in iact,
helped TO pave the way for Newark $

at these localities all in readiness to
take care Of the heavy demand IN
winter. Such a thing as a coal
famine was never heard of in those
days.
Then came the agitation against
the railroads. One community Wed
with the other in trying to see how
big a tax it could load on these COM
panies. The coal storage became a
prolific source of revenue for the
district in which It was located.
Heavy assessments were placed
against this coal in storage. The
companies protested that they had
been taxed on their coal lands al
ready and that as this coal was real
ly in transit, being only temporarily
stored where it was to await the in
creased demand in winter it was
not subject to local tax. That
made no difference to the community
where it was stored, however. and
the matter was carried to the court
with the result that 1t was decided
that coal to be in transit must actual
ly be in cars and that the enormous
coal piles were taxable where they
were found.
This vas a big victory for the re-
spective communities and for a time
they derived large revenues from
these ratables.
But it was only short-lived. The
coal companies were not going to
submit to such taxation if they could
help it with the result that the great
coal storage grounds were abandon
ed. The only storage of coal that
now takes place as far as the opera
tors are concerned-at least the only
storage near tidewater-is in cars.
This not only greatly limits the
of coal stored. but it also re-
duces the number of available cars
for hauling coal. Instead of the
cars being dumped at once at the
storage grounds and rushed back to
the mines for more, they are placed
on sidings and allowed to stand for
days at a time until boats are avail
able for loading. Thus the a short
age and the lack of Goa stored for
winter use are brought home to the
people. At the same time the COM
muiities where the coal was for
merly stored find their bonanza
gone; they are no better off than
they were before, while the public
suffers.

Story Of Democratic
Conventions to Date
The Convention OF 1900.
BY A. H. vANDENBERG

The 1900 National Democratic
Convention met in Kansas City, on
July 4, in a great auditorium which
three months before vas destroyed
by fire. but which was rebuilt in
time for Bryan's reconciliation for
President. The great question of
free silver" which had split the
party four years before, was Still
paramount.
A big wing Of the Convention want
ed to side-track this treacherous
money question (upon which the
country had already returned n
verdict) and urged "anti-imperial-
ism" as the issue to be magnifed into
paramount To this end. a
tremendous ''anti-imperialism" DEM
o~nstration was staged-with 10000
American flag suddenly loosed in the
Convention hall, amid a riot of pa
triotic music.
But William J. Bryan of Nebras-
ka-the Conventions inevitable nom
inee for President again-insisted
upon a r~eiteration of free silver"
faith. and though a vast majority OF
the delegates, including some of
Bryan's W convention managers,
favored a contrary course, the dy-
mamie Nebraskan had his fun way.
The silver plank went through
the resolutions committee by a mar
row margin of 2 votes. New York's
big delegation-under the silver"
control of ex-senator David b. Hill
many Hall, instead of the gold
controlo ( ex-senator David b. Hill
was credited with the deciding in
fluence. The contest ended, however
with the committees vote. The
Convention itself did not divide.
Mr.. Bryan was re-nominated on a
single roll-call by the unanimous vote
of all states and territories.
Bryan wanted Charles A. Towne of
Minnesota CHS running mate on the
-Populist ticket) nominated with him
for Vice-President: but the Conven-
ton had made it's last concession to
its great leader. Although Bryan
was waiting with a special train at
Lincoln for an expected invitation to
address the Convention personally,
the invitation never came; and the
moving reaSOn was a fear that his
presence would result in Towne's
selection.
Instead. the Convention nominated
Adiai Stevenson of Illinois, who had
been Vice President with Cleveland
in his second term. This action did
not come, however, until tremendous
pressure had been put upon David
.B. Hill of New York to accept second
place. Hills name was presented to
the Convention by Senator Grady OF
New York, who was Immediately
followed to the platform by Hill
himself with a positive declination.
One roll call gave Stevenson 559
IL votes, Hill 200. and Towne 80
1-2; but before the announcement
of the totals Tennessee changed to
Stevenson, and was quickly followed
by enough others to make the steven
son nomination complete.-Thus
Bryan again-as in 1S96-found
himself on two tickets, with two
different running mates as candi-
dates for second place.
Governor c. S. Thomas of Color
ado was temporary chairman of the
convention, and J. d. Richardson OF
Tennessee was permanent chairman.
This campaign resulted in the cleo
ton of Mckinley and Roosevelt.

story of the Convention of 1904.
