BALFOUR DEFENDS BILL
EDUCATIOXAIi MEASURE IS TO PtX
ENGLAND ABREAST OP TIMES.
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.

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

for economical intervention. The Gen
eral's allusion to the, concentration camps
and farm-burning were received with
hoots. Generals Dowet and Delarey fol

COLD WELCOME FOR THE BOERS.
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.

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

"I had been suffering severely from kidney
trouble. All symptoms were on hand; my
former strength and power bad left me; I
could hardly drag- myself -along. Even my
mental capacity was giving out, and often I
wished tq die. It was then X saw an adver
tisement of yours in a NewTork paper, but
would not have paid any attention to it, had
It not promised a sworn guarantee with every
bottle of your medicine, asserting that your
Swamp-Root is purely vegetable, and does not
contain any harmful drugs. I am seventy

bers of my family have been using Swamp
Root for four different kidney diseases, with
the same good results."
With many thanks to you, I remain.
Very trully yours.
