City tor the month of July cattle re

The commissioner ot education ta
his last report fails to boar out the
disparaging criticism about the rural
public schools of this country. - Ac
cording to his figures they have been
keeping up with tho pace ot the past
very well. While the. report points
out the impossibility ot making
eiesnut comparison between city
and country schools, enough Informs
tlon about both is available to prove
that the rural schools are dot tailing
seriously in the rear. -
As to numbers. 19 8t0 the city
schools had IS.S4 per cent of the
school enrollment ot tho whole coun
try. and In 110, 81.69 percent. In
890 the cities had 70.81 pr cent of
dally attendance based upon the on
rollment, and this had Increased to
T9.47 per cent la 1110. In. 180 tho
country schools had 81.11 per' cent
In average attendance and 88.43 In
1910. When the disproportionately
large growth of city population for
these twenty years Is considered, It
will be found thst the country
sohools have made much the better
advance. , . ;' c '" r'V-i

A Via-oro Protest. -
OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. I.-To the Editor
of The Bee: In a communication recently
published, Jerry Howard says we should
teach in our' schools to our children, a
an ideal of American patriotic eentl?
ment a speech made by Ollbert M.
Hitchcock In the senate in opposition to
a celebraUon of one hundred years of
peace between England and tbe United
States. A speech that was made In
political gratitude to Irishmen for their
votes, and that represent absolutely
nothing beyond Douglas county democr
racy. A democracy 1 that sustains no
moral or political relation to th Ideals
and teachings ot national democracy or
American patriotism.
As an American, with the blood of
many of the founder of this republic in
his veins, I protest against teaching the
American youth that Irish hatred towards
England is American - patriotism. Let
Ollbert M. Hitchcock and designing
pollttclana play the gams of poUtlcs a
they think Will Win. but I protest against
making their game a part of the history
ot th American nation. Let Irishmen
hold whatever sentiment towards Ens
land they please, however, they ahould
not seek comfort in the hope that that
sentiment will ever be a part of en
lighten American patriotism. Hatred, the
basest of human paseiona, is not an ele
ment of true patriotism.

OMAHA. Aug. .-To the Editor Of The
Be: Here is a suggestion for an oath
tor the new party:.
Beilevin? I am no longer capable ot
thinking or acting for mye!t a an in
dividual, and willing to surrender my
political bl!t right to an Uncrowned king.
I hereby, without restriction, restraint or
reservation, tubscribe to the following:
nrst-I shall follow the footprint of
Hootevelt. no matter where they may
lead to, even Into the pathway of an un
known land, the Jungle of Africa or. a
deepotia kingdom a yet undiscovered.
; Becond-Hls will, hi whims, hi wuihe
ehall be mine. " '
ThlrdVAt no time and under no circum
stances shall I permit myself to express
eounts for the lack of public knowledge
Of the characteristics of the new emperor
on which to base a preaieuon oi no
future of hi reign. Skeletonized in the
Japanese "Who's Who," Emperor Toe
hlhlto is lust over S3, was married May
, 19. to Princess 8adoke, is the father
of three sons aged, respectively, 11, 10
and T. But what may be his like, die
likes, taste and ruling passion are left
for time to reveal. There Is little likeli
hood of a chapge from the policies which
made Japan a world power under the
memorable reign f Mitshuhlto. The
young emperor signalised hie enthrone
ment by granting freedom to 13 Chris
tian converts in prison in Korea charged
with complicity' In the assassination of
Count Teranchl. The convert were pro
teges Of the Presbyterian missions board.
These and other prisoner have been
freed as an act of Imperial grace. In ex
ercising clemency at the beginning of his
reign Emperor Toshlhlto reflects a high
degree ot wisdom and good will.
Persia After Shnster.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of tne
London Telegraph, discussing Russian In
fluences in Persia, draws a picture of de
morallaation and hopelessness into which
the country haa drifted since W. Morgan
8huster and his native backers , were
forced to submit to the demands of th
osar's government In finance, he says,
native resources are exhausted and a for
eign loan ia necessary. "The business ot
the country Is moving In a vicious Circle.
The capitalists argue that order must be
restored before money can be lent,
whereas politician retort that money is
a requisite before order can be re-es-tabllsbed.
And between these two stools
Persia Is famng to ruin." The political
condition is a bad aa th fiscal. "There
I no law, no order, no authority what
ever. Peaceful pursuits are penauaea oy
civil war and unpunished crimes. The con
dition of the population la wore than
under the arbitrary misrule of the Shah
Naereddln," To reacue the land from
utter anarchy It will be necesaary to
create a strong military force, which
wlU entail heavy expense, to meet which
there are no funds. The conclusion of this
observer la. therefore, that Great Britain
will have to dismiss an thoughta of the
rehabilitation of Persia through its demo
cratic constitution and must impose an
arbitrary rule upon it In the south as
Russia Is doing in the north. The plan
for ultimate division is working out as
Russia and Great Britain Intended it
ahould. . i

TRUE DEMOCRACY.
G. B. Morewood In New York Times.
Now 's the season of our discontent;
For every politician through the land
Shows, by the path on which our steps
are bent, i
The dangers, looming large,, on either
. nana. -
Perhaps we . think our country's like to
nourish,
Its prospects look so bright but no, in
deed! B?hold the nest of vipers that we nourish,
The hideous offspring or predacious
creed! ' s
Unless we heed each prophet' exhorta
tion.
The land for which our fathers fought
and bled
Will presently be damned, beyond sal
vation
Fwedom deposed and slavery crowned
instead!
His is the only party, bent on curbing '
The depredations or raptorial man;
And all the rest this thought Is most
disturbing , . ,
Will share the plunder with him, if they
can. .
He tells us In a voice of pealing thunder
The people are oerrauceo or tneir
riffhti
Since we are wronged like this, 'tis little
wonder
If some of us can scarcely sleep o
nlshts.
Vet there are eome who fall to get ex
cited- . .
"Saving the country" seems to them a
bore ' ' t- " .
py aJl. these' bugaboo they're not af
frighted; They've seih the same old bogles oft
before;
They new believe that under either party
Our institutions somenow win persist;
And are prepared to give allegiance
hearty
To. any president the people Hst.
What though he fails to meet their ap
probation? They're bound to make the best of him
, they can;
And, after all, the Judgment of the nation
la sounder, far, than that of any man.
