Present System Held to Be Laaghints Stock of the "World Party In d ones His Stand. MANCHESTER. Oct. 14. A notable ad dition to the controversy over the govern ment's education bill was made tonight by Premier Balfour In an address he de livered before a mass "meeting held in connection with the annual conference of the National Union- of Conservative and Constitutional Associations. The Premier declared that the agitation against and opposition to the bill was due to misun derstandings in false statements of its Intentions. Mr. Balfour said the voice of the calumniator had been long uninter rupted, but that the country would no longer be hoodwinked by the travesties of truth which had been driink In by those from whom better thinks were to be ex pected. The government had chosen to disturb the educational peace because the - IN - CHIEF G. A. R. existing system of education was chaotic, ineffectual and behind the age, making Great Britain the laughing stock of other nations, and it was bound, the Premier said, to provide secondary public!' educa tion under the control of the boroughs and county councils. If in doing this the government has given a tonic to the Lib eral party 'Mr. Balfour did not begrudge. Continuing, the Premier asserted that a majority of the people believed In relig iously taught schools, but it did not agree as to what religion, and that the only alternative was a system permitting de nominational teaching in schools wholly supported by rates, as well as promoting it In those schools which were not wholly supported. He said that the claim that representation did not follow taxation was erronoous.'slnce the real control of the schools was vested, not In the church authorities, but in the municipal councils and their constituents. The threats of the non-conformists to refuse to pay the rates, the Premier said, were unworthy the citizens of a free country. Civilized government was Impossible if dissatisfied citizens refused to obey the laws. The non-conformists, the Premier declared, should hall the bill with pleasure, for It was an effort to give the people unlimited control of education; and their objections to it wore really political, their objection being to turn out the Conservative gov ernment If the government were defeat ed in this measure, there would bo no hope of educational reform, as the agitat ors did not desire It Mr. Balfour said he did not consider "the consequences on political grounds, be cause the stake was tho education of a generation of children. "If this reform Is not unhesitatingly carried through, con cluded the Premier, the government will earn and deserve the contempt of parents and of children yet unborn." The meeting passed a reaolutlon pledg ing its support to the bill. FRENCH LEGISLATORS AT WORK. Stormy Times In Sight Over the Budget and Closing: of Schools. PARIS. Oct 14. The Chamber of Dep uties reassembled today. The session promises to be a stormy one, In view of the Interpellations before the House at tacking the government for employing troops against strikers, and also for using the military in tho case of the school trou bles In Brltanny. Moreover, the govern ment'a proposed new bill strengthening it in the adoption of measures against ille gal congregations Under the associations law, and Finance Minister Rouvler's scheme for readjusting the country's finances, will certainly lead to animated debates. The budget showed that the revenue was estimated at $715,100,000 and the expenditures at $715,000,000. M. Rouvler, after Introducing the budget explained that, in order to effect an equilibrium, it would be necessary to create new taxation amounting to $41,400, 000, which amount Is Included In the esti mated revenue. . A mining deputy M. Basly, presented a proposition for establishing old-age pen sions, which, the chamber agreed to dis cuss at the first opportunity, and M. Bau dey d'Asson submitted a demand for an arraignment of the government for vio lating the law by closing schools conduct ed by the congregations, and asked for Its Immediate dlncusslon, which was re fused by 531 to 414 votes. The chamber has decided to take up Immediately as a unit all the interpella tions relating to the application of the law of associations. M. Aynord. Progres sive Republican, opened the discussion by severely criticising the action of the gov--ernment in closing clerical schools, and violating the right3 of parents to give their children religious education, thus Inaugurating civil and religious war. Count de Mun, Conservative, followed M. Aynard and spoke In the same strain. Both speakers were frequently Interrupt ed. Debate of the matter was postponed until n'ext Thursday. Tho chamber then adjourned. The Senate, after formally reopening, adjourned. German Relchsta? Reassembles. BERLIN. Oct 14. The Reichstag reas sembled today.

The Boer Generals re mained at .their hotels most of the jdajv In the afternoon they drover around! the city and went to the Town Hall, where they were received and welcomed by the President and other officials. The daughter of a prominent American official, who has become intimate' with the wives, of the Boer Generals, was en tertained today In Mrs. Botha's private drawing-room, where the General's wife showed the American girl thres photo graphs; first General Botha's beautiful home In the Transvaal, surrounded by trees and stock; second, a snap-shot of the house In flames; third,, the smoulder ing ruins of the General's home. Mrs. Botha said: "The first picture shows U3 before Eng lish civilization; the second depicts us during the process of civilization, and the third represents us after English civiliza tion has been extended to us." This incident indicates the real senti ments of the Boer leaders. General Botha sad he spoke In the name of his people and thanked France for its generous encouragement, and for the aid she had given the Boer wounded. He eu logized Colonel de Villebols-Mareuil, a Frenchman, who was killed while fighting with the Boers In 1000. He paid the losses of the Boers amounted to .$3,CflO,0C0. The Boers, he said, did not ask for special, but for economical intervention. The Gen eral's allusion to the, concentration camps and farm-burning were received with hoots. Generals Dowet and Delarey fol lowed Botha In making speeches. At the conclusion a collection wa3 taken up, which realized $1715. The Generals were presented with medals. On their way back to their hotels thcr were cheered by the crowds In the streets. Boers Will Be in Berlin Tomorrow. BERLIN, Oct. 14.

He said to the cor respondent of the Associated Press that he regretted leaving the United States, as he had become a great admirer of Americans, and personally would have preferred to remain in Washington, but official and private reasons make a change desirable. He will defer present ing his recall until after the elections in the United States. Jusserand, the French Minister to Den mark, who has been appointed Ambassa dor to France at Washington, writes from Copenhagen that he will reach his new post at the beginning of January, it about tho same time that M.

Germany Is Discouraging Berlin Committee In Many Ways. BERLIN, Oct. 14. The government is discouraging the Boer reception commit tee in various ways. The police will not permit the proposed procession to pas3 through the Bradenburg. Gate, doubtless because It Is near the British Embassy. The bill-posters, who have the monopoly of the city's advertising on the Pillars, have broken their contract, and refuse to put up any more placards advertising the reception of tho Boers. It is intimated that the reason for this action on the part of the bill-posters is that they re ceived a secret hint from the police to cease advertising tho entertainment. The government seems, determined to prevent the slightest demonstration that might be construed n3 offensive to Great Britain. RUSSIAN EXILES RETURNING.

TF tt IT WILSON WINS AT LAST SPOKANE! MAN SECURES EUROPEAN DIPLOMATIC STATION. He Will Be Transferred From Post ia Chile at a.Loss In Salary - ' on?35Q0. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct 14. Henry L. Wilson, of Spokane, Minister to Chile, has secured a European mission, but at a great sacrifice of salary. He gets a similar post in Greece at 56500 per year, while his present position pays 510,000. This could not have been brought about had not the rlster to Greece kindly corented to retire, In order to make places for several people. Minister Francis was not particular about serving longer In Greece, and was willing to get-out of the way in order to promote John B. Jackson, now First Secretary of the Embassy, at Berlin. The preeaure of Wilson's friends to get him a- place in Europe, and the inducement to Jackson to secure the Chilean mission, which Is worth $3500 more than that or Greece, brought about the change. Again, tho Chilean mission has always been con sidered more important than Greece, and Wilson's change, although brought about by great pressure, is not considered a promotion. OTHER DIPLOMATIC CHATfGES. Pour. Promotions Brought About by Resignation of Francis. WASHINGTON, Oct 14. In addition to the appointment of Henry L. Wilson, Minister to Chile, to succeed Charles Francis, resigned, aa Minister to Greece, tho State Department today announced the following appointments: John' B. Jackson, now First Secretary of Embassy at Berlin, to be Minister to Chile. H. P. Dodge, now Second Secretary of Embassy at Berlin, promoted to be First Secretary, in place of Mr. Jackson. .R. F. Reynolds Hltt, now Third Sec retary of Embassy at Paris, to be Second Secretary at Berlin, In place of Mr. Dodge. Peter Augustus Jay, of Rhode Island, appointed Third Secretary at Paris, in place of Mr. Hltt The resignation of Charles S. Francis, as Minister to Greece, which caused the changes. Is received with regret at tne State Department where the officials declare that he has been a most efficient and painstaking Minister. Mr. 'Francis took the post originally from sentimental considerations. His father had been Min ister to Greece many years ago, and he (Charles Francis) had lived In that coun try as a boy, so that he contemplated with pleasure the opportunity to return to the scenes of his youth." His desires in that matter- have been satisfied, how ever, and his business Interests connected with the Troy, N. Y., Times, of which he Is editor and proprietor, seeming to need hls presence at home, he has been obliged to quit the diplomatic service. It was fully Intended that Mr. Wilson, who succeeds Mr, Francis at Athens, should have had a European post as far back as last Spring, but no proper open ing offered before this date. Mr. Jackson, nevertheless, preferred a European sta tion, and it Is said he will receive such assignment when a vacancy occurs in the future, for the department sets much value on Mr. Jackson's ability. The appointments In the minor places are all in Upe of diplomatic reform which Secretary Hay has marked out In every case, it Is said,, the transfer Is made en tirely Vithout regard to Individual pres sure or Influence, and solely upon the basis of merit as shown In the work of the Secretaries. Mr. Hltt. who goes to Berlin, Is a son of Representative Hltt, or Illinois, and Mr. Jay, who is appointed at Paris, is a lineal descendant of John Jay, who was President Washington's first Secretary of State. STRIKE AS A TEACHER, ThlnUs It Will Show the Value of f Government Control. MEDFORD, Or.. Oct. 12. (To the Edi tor.) The writer has followed the reports of the coal strike with great Interest, and has .enjoyed the able, Ju3t and humane utterances of The Oregonian -on the sub ject But is It true, as stated In "An Operators' Victory," that "if It (the strike) wins it 1b a grand blow for lib erty. If It falls, it's a crime." From the standpoint of a concession to the demands of tho union, it seems In evitable that It must fall. Operators with unlimited capital defy the laws with lm ounlty. They defy tho press, tho Nation. Their ears are closed to the cries of dis tress already going up from thousands of the poor, who. alas! are not among "God's anointed." The state sends men and guns to compel the Ignorant, half civilized miner to keep the laws his en lightened masters are breaking. There are men so dwarfed In mind and soul by the hard conditions of life they are glad to take the strikers' places, go down In the bowels of, the earth, risk tneir lives and dig for the sake of a mere existence. Against such odds could the wisest, tho most skillful general lead hla forces to success? But who shall say. though the strike proves a failure, though It has caused Im mense loss and great suffering, that tho price is too great for the lessons it is teaching? Fathers fought and died, moth ers gave their only sons, that ours might bo a united country. If these lessons are rightly learned, a bloodless revolution may glvo us a freo as well as a united country. What could have opened the eyes of the Nation, as this strike has done, to the weakness, the defects of a government powerless to prevent a few plutocrats from working euch woe? "What could have brought home to the busy man and woman tho Injustice of our economic system as the knowledge that there are thousands of their fellow-creatures willing to die, even to die of hun ger, rather than to live miserable, to work hard and gain nothing? Must not the far-reaching results of this strike upon the consumer, as well as striker, chow every voter In tho land that he can not be sure of enjoying "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" until the Gov ernment (the whole people) controls tho necessities, the comforts of life? Whv Is a cry going up from Atlantic to Pacific against the arrogance of the operators and the Wrongs of the miners? Because the union ordered a strike. To day in Southern factories, owned by Northern capitalists, greater wrongs arc being Inflicted on young children than these miners suffered. But the Nation Is not roused to the gravity of these evll3, because no protecting unjon has thrown Its arm around tho chtldren. Because they are too weak, too stunted In body and mind, to rebel against their masters. Let them strike, the factories close until cotton cloth quadrupled In value, and the eyes of tho Nation would be focused on this festering wound In the economic sys- tem. Right here In Oregon, EaBtern capital ists are very quietly gobbling up great traet3 of timber land. The coffers of these financial kings are already bursting with profits from the fallen forests of the great Middle West When lumber reaches the point where only a rich man can af ford to build a hencoop, the common people will have learned a leason. But this strike Is a wonderful teacher. Only yesterday some of the Nation's strongest minds were turning from Gov ernment ownership aa, the Idle, If riot vicious, dream of the socialist Today these men see it is the only solution of the economic problem. The strike may fall.. Some Hve3, WSKilEKKI To Prove What Swamp-Root, Will Do for YOU, Every Reader of "The Oregonian" May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mai).
