IM.IIAM, See'y A Treiu. Entered at the Post Office at Laporte, as j second-class mail matter, _ j MUST BE IMPARTIAL. True Proteetion Cannot Favor One IntcroNt Affniiifit Another. Whatever valid claim to free Lliles j the Massachusetts shoe manufacturers j possess it must not be forgotten that j the relinquishment of duties upon hides j must be considered not, with reference] le its effect upon Massachusetts infer os!.3 alone, but in the light of Its bear ing upon the whole industrial situation iu the United States. Undoubtedly the Massachusetts manufacturers would like free hides, but no suggestion has been made that they surrender the pro led ion now afforded them In the tariff imposed upon foreign shoes. This fact h i" set a great many persons thinking, even in that state, and what they are thinking is no doubt correctly indicat ed by the Springfield Union, which teils its readers that Massachusetts cannot have tlie sort of tariff revision which means exclusive benefits for one local ity. adding: No tariff law lias ever boon made solely in lx l e interests ot one state and never will be. We cannot liave both free raw iiiat rials and protected finished products. If v ■ are for protection we must be will ing to have protection granted to raw materials as well as to manufactured products. If we are for free trade, then we-must have both free raw materials and iree manufactured products. Massa eir. tts cannot play both ends of the game. That is the essence of sound protec tion. True protection is not partial to one interest as against another, but lias concern for all alike. It has 110 special affection for particular schedules, but regards each as part of a symmetrical whole, designed with an eye to the common good. And il Is ready to re vise 1 hose schedules when that action ia 11 to be necessary to assure a square deal all round. It is not. to be moved by the appeal of single interests unless it perceives that by yielding it \\ ill benefit others.—Troy Times. Guessed It mailt. There is the authority of a congress- I man not from lowa for saying that -r» lent Roosevelt does not want any ! tvitf disturbances while he is prcsi- I '■cnt. He thinks the tariff is good j eiton':li to let alone while oilier reforms are being worked out. and the presi dent- is right.—Cedar Rapids Repub lican. \tl:n k 011 Protection Veiled llchiml i.'ie Pretence That ilie Tiirllt' Mailt < lie iletlacetl S» JIN <0 Compel the | Trust* to Loiver Prices. It is perfectly evident that the pur- : pa c of the Democrats will be to con duct the coming congressional cam paign as nearly 011 the lines of the tariiV as possible without tendering a I ire a issue 011 that question. The evi dence supporting this proposition is 112 Hind in the preliminary speeches put forth for circulation by Democratic leaders in the house, in which they center their attack upon the protective put. y by indirection and dwell more ;uvii cally upon the reports regarding sales of American goods in foreign markets at prices lower than such )'ii! ; bring in the domestic markets. The fact that the aggregate sales abroad at these low prices amount to l.r.i : 11 insignillcant fraction, estimated j t > 1 .> possibly :i0 cents on .SIOO worth j s ild abroad and bearing but a relative- ! ly Inconsequential ratio to the im- j men-o production of commodities by the prosperous mills and factories of ' the country, is utterly ignored by the I enemies of the protective system in ' this onslaught upon the protective j tariff. Attention has also been called to th<: j fact that Mr. Bryan in his utterances recently while in Germany when he was informed of the uprising of his party associates in favor of making h!ni the nominee for the presidency again this year demonstrated that he appr mehes the issue of the tariff some what gingerly. Doubtless he recalls I his tree trade record in the house of j representatives in 1894 aud he realizes 1 that the country will be able to find no instance of his having recanted the views he then entertained in avowed hostility to protection. Mr. Bryan, | while admitting now that he is in 1 favor of a reduction of "duties on im- | ports into the American markets, j chaises to divert attention from this ! declaration by intimating that in liis j opinion the next presidential contest 1 will be fought upon the Issue of the ! till .Is. V.'hile this statement by Mr. Bryan j will afford evidence that lie Is still the adroit politician which his friends have always recognized him to be, it is not a statement calculated to mislead any- , bi.'y who is familiar with Mr. Bryan'a j record 011 the tariff question. It is well j understood by everybody who gives ; thought to present economic conditions j tiul to the political prospects of the 1 II ':t two years that substantially the \ only issue that will be raised between the Republican and Democratic parties ■ in the campaign in ions will be protec- i t;.m versus free trade. Mr. Bryan's party will cloak its attack Upon pro tection by a proposition to destroy the 1 '.rusts by admitting foreign competing roods to the markets of the United , Slates upon terms that certainly will be destructive to the manufacturing | ruid producing industries of this coun try ami demoralizing to the wage earn ers tin-. out the hind, Just as was the system which Mr. Bryan's party, with his aid and encouragement, ac- j compllshed with the Democratic tariff act of 1604. |j ;• '? ; I 1 .< »*:' Si Sfit Re ■ ; tieut 1 : IJeiiMtntlinif Ci>ne»ct« ' I Re ultWf bw M»lc£ Ilufcte ! Slowly and I*crui::iteu«ly. IS'.- 'i :l Corrosp »rulence.] Tin :*e is be' u deckled movement ! L ikiiig towitr I the introduction of agri- I culture and related subjects into the ! public schools. More than thirty of the j suites and territories have taken some | k!a;l of udicial action in this regard. | Just how Mie-e .subjects are to be in ! troduced is i">i. yet determined, and it may be seve.v • years before any effl- j ciei.t hotly ot agricultural Itiought is Introduced into the greater part of the public schools. There is no question, ! however, that this Introduction is i sure to come. Tlie whole tendency of our civilization is to put the educated ■ man into the work of the world and to I give every person a training lor effi ciency in til" life in which he is to engage. All this does not mean that we are to neglect the fundamental prin ciples of education. Rather we are to work out the fundamental prlnci nles of education in a new way. We 111-? to work them out in terms of other subjects from those that we customarily have used. I doubt whether distinct separate courses in agriculture will be found to be prac ticable In most of the elementary schools. In the primary grades the nat ure study idea will be the leavening iulluence, putting the child directly in to touch with the things with which he lives. The nature study movement endeavors Jo use common affairs and objects aud phenomena as means of training the mind. In the intermediate grades the proba bility is that agriculture will be taught by giving agricultural applications to the general fundamental subjects that already are in tlie course of study. We have introduced too many subjects into the schools. We need to siniplily rath er than to complicate the school course, but we can Introduce local applications in the studies that are now a part of the school work. For example, after the fundamental work iu number is ac quired the problems can be very large ly local. There are sufficient agricul tural arithmetical problems to afford all the drill and practice that are now afforded by the copartnership aud mid dleman problems that are in use in the schools. The geography teaching now attempts to begin with the local en vironment. A good part of this local j environment is *ae farms, aud a good j deal of the farming can be taught in ] the geography < lass. Manual training 1 can be given an agricultural trend J when necessary. The same can be said | of drawing and other subjects. When the high school is reached, sep arate optional courses in agriculture may well be given as soon as teachers and facilities are provided. This work | should be of a scientific character, of i equal training value with physics or j chemistry or botany, and it should lead I directly to entrance credits in the ag ricultural colleges and universities. I believe in every effort that tends to arouse the public to the necessity of introducing these subjects into the schools, and I shall use all my efforts to extend the sentiment. However, I hope that the 112 inning population will not be too impatient in demanding con crete results or in forcing formal agri cultural subjects into the schools. We must make haste slowly and iu doing so make it fundamentally and perma nently. We must not forget that schools are schools and that their gen eral lone must be elevated aud their genera 1 eiiiciency Increased before we can hope for any successful results In the teaching of common life subjects, j Merely to introduce agriculture into tlie 1 rural schools as they exist at the pres i cut day will be of 110 particular conse j quenco. The whole tone of the school j must be raised. This elevation must j come from the elevation of the senti ment in the community. More money | must be had for the schools 111 order ' that better facilities aud better teaeli- I ers may ho euyiioyed and the tvhole at | mosphere of the school be made attrac j tive. L. 11.

Petitions from landowners in the different states, we learn, arc being made to the highway ! commissioners to this effect. The claim made Is that too much land is allowed to grow up to weeds by hav ing the road so wide, as the extra ten feet could be well utilized if taken into the farm. It Is claimed also that by j narrowing tlie legal width of highways a better road cau be built and more easily kept In good condition. | John D.
