TBt CBOICt AT CB1CAOU,
James A. Oarfleld once won a nom
ination' followed by election for the
presidency of the United States by a
speech p which he declared that "the
shallows murmur, while the deep are
silent," and explained that the verdict
of the voters of America waa not de
cided in the heat and passion and
hurrah of political convention, but by
sober reflection of thinking men in the
homes and at the firesides, in which
the merits of Issues and candidates
were considered by the cold light of
reason. Mr. Garfield's picture very
fairly reflects the proceedings of the
republican national committee in ita
sessions at Chicago for the purpose of
considering the contests in the various
states over the selection of delegates
to the convention to be held this week.
The national committee has com
pleted its labors, so far as the consid
eration of contests is concerned, and
the result is simply a confirmation of
what all Americans have known for
weeks, that the sentiment of the re
publican voters of the country is em
phatically in favor of the nomination
of William Howard Taft of Ohio as the
next standard bearer of the republican
party. It were idle now, perhaps, to
discuss the motives of the opponents of
Mr. Taft The political game, in all
parties, is played by well defined rules.
Mr. Taft has been a victim of the usual
charges. It has been asserted that he
is not a real candidate, but is an echo
of the present occupant of the White
House. It has been charged that execu
tive Influence and federal patronage
have been used In Influencing delegates
to his support. It has been heralded
that while the voice was the voice of
Taft the hand was the hand of Roose
velt. On those Issues the preliminary
fight has been made and the contests
presented to the committee, The result
has been an overwhelming victory for
Mr. Taft. The contests from the south
have simply broken down by the weight
of their own Insincerity. Almost with
out the necessity, or even the request,
for a roll call, the national committee
composed of men, many of whom
have not been friendly to the Taft
candidacy has decided the contests in
favor of the Taft delegates, the evi
dence being that most of the contests
were trumped up solely for the pur
pose of "throwing sand Into the ma
chinery." The result of the preliminary In
quiries shows simply that Taft Is
stronger than Hughes or Fairbanks or
Cannon or Knox or any other candi
date mentioned for the nomination.
He haa had a wider experience as an
administrator, has met more people
and Impressed more people with the
solid worth of his character, and, more
Important, stands more emphatically
for the continuation of the policies
espoused by Mr, Roosevelt and en
dorsed by the -public. In .the final
analysis, Mr. Taft is the candidate who
Is needed and has been asked for by
the country. He stands for the prin
ciples that have taken deep root in the
political soil and best represents the
policies to which the republican party
la irrevocably committed. .
I HE AOt or SCHOOL TEACBKRS.
The Chicago Board of Education has
made a rule against admitting persons
of more than 60 years of age to teach
in the public schools, alleging as a
reason that 50 years Is the age limit
at which the mental and physical
vigor of teachers begin to decline and,
of course, Chicago will have none but
young men and women on guard to
guide its children and Olroct them in
the path of wiadom and knowledge.
It Is unfortunate that a body of men
charged with the most Important work
of the time, the education of the youth
of the land, should be led by Ignorance
or politics .to make a ruling bo fraught
with injustice to the teachers of the
country and, for that matter, to all
persons who hsve gatheied years, aa
well aa knowledge and experience. The
Chicago Board of Education appears
to have had the "Osier theory" In
mind. When Dr. William Osier, In
an address before physicians at Balti
more, Jocosely placed at 40 years the
age at which a man's usefulness to the
world ceases, many people took the
statement seriously and its publication
aroused wide discussion and criticism.
Dr. Osier vainly tried to deny serious
ness in his statement and the world
has generally come to accept his re
mark aa a Jest, but It appears that the
solemn and omniscient Board of Edu
cation of Chicago accepts his "theory"
aa law and gospel.
Men and women do not begin to de
cline at the age of 60 years. Study
of the world's history shows that ths
greatest achievements in literature,
art. science and education have been
accomplished by men who have passed
the sixtieth year. Von Moltke, at the
age of 70, waa Germany's chief strate
gist la the war with France; Blucher,
at 7S, reinforced Wellington at Water
loo and Dandolo stormed and captured
Constantinople at 96; Goethe com
pleted "Faust" at 82; Titian's brush
waa turning out masterpieces when he
died of a plague at the age of 100;
Humboldt began his "Cosmos" at 76
and completed it in his ninetieth year;
Newton discovered the law of gravita
tion at 60 and worked until he waa 84;
Lord Palmerston died in the harneas
at 81 and Gladstone's ministerial du
ties were continued until he was 84.
Literature and art and science- would
bo greatly impoverished If the Chicago
Board of Education had been in charge
of the workers in those lines and had
placed them on the retired Hat at the
age pf 60.
In teaching, perhaps morw than in
any other profession, the teacher is
also a student until his fiftieth year or
after. He can aot teach wisely until
be knows himself and his studies
rarely cease until his fiftieth year,
when he becomes more than ever capa
ble of imparting the information he
has gained by yeara of study and so
bered by reflection and deduction. It
would have been more to the credit of
the Chicago Board of Education if it
had made a rule prohibiting men and
women from becoming teachers before
the age of 40 or 60, Instead of prohib
iting them from teaching after they
were 60 years of age.
LET "DIXIE" a lout:.
An organization known as the
"Women of the Confederate Choir of
America" is making a misguided ef
fort to revise "Dixie" by elevating the
literary tone of It, without impairing
the lilt, of the tune. The revisionists
argue that the worda of "Dixie" are
rough, uncouth, almost coarse and
should be discarded for something
real chaste and classic. Poets are be
ing Invited to prepare verses that will
fit the good old tune and still be free
from the hint of rag-time and "coon-
song" elements that have come down
with the merry song of the southland.
It Is suggested that instead of the old
familiar words, the song be started
something like this:
Oh, Dixie Is the land of glory.
The land of cherished song and story.
It won't do. "Dixie" Is the land of
cotton, "Cinnamon seeds and sandy
bottom," and all the literary tinkers
In the world can't change it and
should not be allowed to try. It's a
home song, springing from the heart
of rustics and- dressed In homespun,
find it would be awkward, unnatural
and without Us real ring If it were
dressed in literary silk.
Regardless of acts of congress or
the commands of officials, "Dixie" Is
a national song and there Is no way
of getting around it. Assemblages
may arise, or stand with uncovered
heads, while the band plays "The Star-
Spangled Banner." Its sonorous
strains command attention and respect,
but let the band or the orchestral
strings and pipes strike up "Dixie"
and there Is an immediate clapping of
hands, laughter, stamping of feet,
cheers and the swell of patriotic emo
tion. It was a south song originally,
it la true. It was a battlecry of the
"Johnny Rebs" in every conflict be
tween Bull Run and Mobile Bay and
the north tried to learn to hate It. The
effort was in vain. Now that sectional
discord Is forgotten, "Dixie" has come
into its own, its every note pulsed with
patriotism and its every word written
In the language of the national heart.
"Dixie" does not .belong to the
"Women of the Confederate Choir of
America." It is the property of the
nation and its words should be let
alone.
MKHACE OF A PLAOVE
. Medical authorities of the govern
ment appear to b getting very much
in earnest in urging the' public and
the officials of the country to take
proper precautions against a possible
spread in this country of the bubonic
plague, which is spreading through
most of the Caribbean countries. The
marine hospital service has Issued a
number of bulletins advising the adop
tion of the most rigid sanitary meas
ures In both the Atlantic and Pacific
seaports and In a special publication
the people everywhere are urged to
institute and prosecute a systematic
warfare for the extermination of rats,
which are recognized as the greatest
means of sprekdlng the disease.
Latest reports show that practically
all of the coast towns of Venezuela are
Infested with the plague, which has
spread to Trinidad. All the ports of
Cuba have been closed to Venezuelan
commerce and the most stringent In
spection methods have been adopted
for vessels arriving at American sea
ports from Venezuela and the Carib
bean countries. Some time ago the
disease seemed to have had a strong
fcothold In San Francisco, but was
stamped out through energetic and
systematic effort of the federal and
local authorities. The best medical
authorities agree that the disease Is
most commonly spread by rats that
are carried from plague-infested coun
tries In ships' holds and soon spread
the contamination through the rats
that thrive In' the sewers, along the
wharves and in the warehouses in the
shipping centers. The experiments in
San Francisco showed that rats which
had been caught In ships' holds and
marked for identification were later
caught as far east as, Ogilen, where
they had been carried In cars contain
ing grain and other merchandise.
Such experiments, proving the danger
of a wide spread of the disease, have
caused the publication of the warn
ings and the agitation for a war of ex
termination against rats.
THE SOLDIER AtlD THE CURFEW.
The officials of the War department
have frownlngly discouraged the at
tempt of a captain in the army and a
Judge of the Juvenile court in Colorado
tha on l luted soldier something
VU iua aa v - - - i
of a mollycoddle. Incidentally, the
new rullna-. based on a court-martial
proceeding, Is a reaffirmation of the
old nrlnclDle that Cupid has perfect
right to follow the uniform, without
regard to town ordlnancea or parental
objections.
it annears that one of Uncle Sam 8
flthtlnc men. an enlisted soldier at
Fort Logan, was arrested by the civil
authorities of Denver because he was
keeping company with a young woman
not yet of age after 8 o'clock at night
All testimony offered tended to show
that the young man was demeaning
himself aa a soldier and a gentleman,
but that he simply couldn't help being
tt nn tha air). The evidence also
showed that the curfew bell had been
rung and the object of the soldier's
attentions, under the ordinances of
Denver, should have been tucked away
In the nursery under her mother's
guarding eye. The Judge of the Juve
nile court thereupon soaked the soldier
with a sentence of ninety days In Jail.
The company commander took a hand
and recommended to the War depart
ment that the soldier "be discharged
without honor," just as though he had
shot up a town or committed man's
size offense against the laws of his
country. Cupid, Mars and all the
folks who love a lover will be glad to
know that the recommendation of the
commanding captain was turned down
good and hard by the officials of the
War department at Washington, some
of whom were once young in their own
right and yet remember how they em
ployed their time when they were on
leave from barracks duty, and when
girls were just as plentiful and attrac
tive as they are today, in Denver and
elsewhere. The War department has
ordered that the soldier, just as soon
as he has paid the penalty Inflicted by
the civil courts, be restored to hla
place and rank, being required only to
make up to the government the time
he will lose by his ninety-day contrlbu
tlon to the terrors of Denver's curfew
laws.
The decision is wise and to the
credit of the Washington authorities
The "discharged without honor" mark
is never lost by one of its victims and
it should be placed only as a penalty
for some real offense against the laws
of the country or the regulations of
the army. Enough difficulty Is al
ready being experienced in keeping the
ranks of the army recruited up to any
thing like the authorized strength
There would not be soldiers enough In
the ranks to suppress an insurrection
In a home for the aged it enlisted men
were to be discharged in disgrace for
responding to Cupid's distress signal
RIGHTS CP STREET CAB PATROXS.
Street car patrons everywhere will
find Interest in a decision Just rendered
by a New York judge concerning the
duty of street car companies to pre
serve order on their cars and to pro
tect passengers who behave themselves
from injury and annoyance at the
hands of those who do not. In the
case in question a woman passenger
was hit in the face and seriously hurt
by a shoe, thrown by one of a number
of men who were engaged in a free-
for-all fight. The woman sued for
damages and secured a verdict for
$800. The street car company appealed
the case..
The street car company argued in
the higher court that the company
was not responsible for the throwing
of the offending sfioe. The shoe was
not thrown by an employe of the com'
pany, but by a passenger and, so the
attorney argued, it was the duty of the
passengers to protect themselves from
each- other. ' It was also argued that
the-1, woman's claim was not against
the company, but should have been
brought, in a suit for civil damages,
against the person who threw the shoe.
The court refused to agree to the
proposition that It was the duty of
passengers to protect themselves and
to. If necessary, become expert in
dodging shoes or other missiles that
might be thrown in the course of a
street car ruixup. The court held that
it was clearly the duty of the company
to maintain order on Its cars, and that
for a company to tolerate riots on Its
cars or behavior on the part of passen
gers that resulted In hurt or annoy
ance to other passengers was "an of
fense against civilization and unjustl
fiable." The award of damages was
sustained.
No street car company is going to
encourage lawlessness or unseemly
conduct on the part of its passengers,
but there is a disposition in too many
cities to allow too much liberty on the
part of half-drunken or quarrelsome
men who make street car riding un
pleasant, if not at times dangerous, to
respectable persons. The street car con
due tors and motormen, who always
have troubles enough of their own, are
too often disposed to overlook minor
acts of rowdyism on the part of some
passengers and endure open nuisances
rather than cause trouble. At the
same time, it should be remembered
that well-behaved passengers have the
right to protection from annoyance
and insults and it is the duty of the
street car companies to furnish such
protection.
