TRIBUTE TO ROOSEVELT The Evening Post, demoorat io, says: ;) "AH 'explanations of yester day's political cataclysm are van. ity and vexation" which do not see in it an extraordinary tribute to jhe-i President's personality. Hi's victory is more purely per sonal than that of any candidate whom living men can t remem ber To talk of party politics or of popular mandates in their favor may aocount.for a breeae in the treetops, but not for such a hurricane as was blowing all over the '; country yesterday. There can be no doubt about it Theodore Roosevelt has - cap . . . . . , v hvated the imagination ' of the and important to know. From "v" u" ,ma5 . .financial view point the : edu-C ,KB" " ""r"" i.4:n.f 4a. , nnklijiifit.. anil hlA cation of the children of the United Sutet is one of vast magnitude. In 1903 the amount expended f ir the support of the public schools.. in the. .United states was., &I,637,HU - a ; p r capita expenditure of $3.15 and the: entire 'value" of school prop erty was $643,903,228. To illustrate now our esiuca tional bill' has' grown, ' the total expenditure for public schools is quoted. In 1870 it was 63,369,- 666, in 1880 it was $83,642,964, in 1890 it was $140,506,715, . in 1900 it was $200,164597 At I in 1903 it had crown to 125J:6a7.. ' 1 T. '''I'' ' T ' 119 or about! (our times! greater than in 1870. In the year 1903 the total en rollment in the public schools was 17,639,478 pupils as against 6,871,622 in 1870 In' education, as in . other matters' the trend is to increase comfort of home life The United States has made ' progress "ac cording to a somewhat careful estimate," savs Commissioner Harris, "the total amount of schooling given to the average population in 1800 did not ex ceed 82 days, but iu 1840 this had risen to 208 days. ..The decade ending in 1860 showed a great increase of interest in schools, owing to the labors of Horace Mann and his disciples in New England and elsewhere and at the rate of attend an oe on sohools in 1850 the entire popu lation could couut on 420 days eaoh; at the rale of I860, 434 days; in 1870, 672 days; in 1880 792 doys; and laBt year 1,034 days." The general average of school days received 1,034 in 1903 is for die whole United States. T ir ates of the North Atlantic division of stales bad a longer period of school attendance, be ing 1,374 days, while the south oentral division oF states had only 214 days as the average entire amount of tchooling ac- perfect command of that grand high pressure of bustle' and ex citement, which is so powerful a political instrument in a dem coraey like ours, with his out standing. and taking qualities, have won the general heart aud made him the victorious leader he is . . "It was not the Republican party, it was not .the tariff or im perialism whiob received the thundering approval of yesterday but just Roosevelt's personality. His almost unbounded' popular ity carried his, vote up to amaz ing figures which so far surpass the most extravagant olaims of even Republican politicians as to leave them dared along .with all other prophets.".. Hill of New York at the last Democratic national convention dictated its platform and . can didate and iu so doing defeated the wishes of Mr. Bryan ' The results of such dictatorship as he employed instead of killing off Mr. Bryan, has made him stronger in the eyes of his party than he was prior to the con vention, "i Nevertheless Mr. Bryan has no small undertaking when he or anyone else attempts to reorganize the Democratic party until as a party it comes before tbe people with a positive and aggressive policy.

'Ottlmes have I watched her when wearing; her knuckles. " Aa over the ridges oar duds she would rub, I ne'er will foriiet how she snlasheJ and she elatherep The old fashioned wash board that stood in tbe tub. CHORUS a The old fusli loned washboard; The ziuc-covered washboard; The back-breaking washboard that stood in the tub. ' Some folks always kiok about up-to-date lamldrias, And say they wear out thnir clothes every day; Bat give th.im to me, so I will have a not dinner ' At borne, with the smell of the soap suds away. I know that the washing machine is much easier 1 On all of oar olothes than to take them and rub Till the buttons ani bosoms are lost and worn out By the old-fashioned washboard that stood in the tob.
