CHANGING SCHOOL HOOKS.
It is notorious that there Is such
a thing nn a school hook trust in
this country and that its influence
lias reached without any check what
ever all parts of the United States.
The American Hook company is only
less gigantic than the Standard Oil
company, but its effect is to enrich
Its members and tax its patrons as
much as they will stand. Possibly
Marsh Hold has had occasion before
now to mnrmer against the School
Book Trust, but whether it has or
not, parents liavo now new cause to
record their murmurs again. The
school children have been compelled
to change their books again, and par
ents have been unnecessarily bled to
supply now books where the old ones
which they bought and paid for
sonio time ago would have done just
asivell. Of course tho people who
are responsible for tho change claim
that education must keep up to the
standard of progress and that tills
renders old books obsolete and new
hooks and new systems necessary.
Conceding the statement to bo true,
& not necessarily an approval of the
argument. Show tho people first,
where tho new hooks and now sys
tem, so called, constitute an advance
on what must now be thrown aside
and lost.
There are soveral things which
Marshfield pcoplo may well consider
in regard to these changes. Ono of
ihem is that they will come thick and
tulck hereafter. Another is that
Marshfield school authorities are not
responsible for It, as tho law of the
state provides for a uniform system
and tho state authorities have de
creed tho change. Still another is
tfhat It is very profitable to tho school
took trust and to nobody else. Then
again tho pretence that tho exchange
at old hooks for now on tho basis of
30 cents on tho dollar allowed on tho
ii Id. books, is a farce. In families of
two or moro children it is usual for
Ihc second child to tako tho books
Soft over by tho older brother or sis
ier, and n largo saving was made tn
poor and honest people. Tho "quick
Thango" school book trust cures that
leakage from Us Income by getting
tho stato authorities, by some
method, to co-operate. Thousands of
dollars go out of (lie stato for school
looks and ovon If they happen, in
Mine instances, to bo printed In tho
tfate, all of tho profits from tho
.paper mill to tho print shop go to
Men who may ho enjoying llfo In
London or I'aris.
Hut what are you going to do
about It? Tho remedy? Well, thero
4j ono, but It may bo tho pcoplo aro
afraid of It. Perhaps it is better to
sleep quietly in tho lion's mouth,
.limn to keep awako outsido tho Jaws
of clangor. Tho remedy Is for tho
itato to provide, prlnf. and distribute
ijs own school books, on tho plan of
integral production, from tho paper
sntll up. Tho extension of the
3vmedy is for all of tho peoplo to
stand tho oxpenso of furnishing the
school books to tho children and re
lievo tho parents who hear tho bur
den of this generation and tho next,
too. Of course, this remedy must bo

ready elevated must obtain permits
from the city engineer, whose duty
it Is to grant them if the specifica
tions which must be filed with him
for ills protection, comply with the
ordinance. The violation of tho or
dinance may result In the city au
thorities proceeding to abate the de
ficient structure by tearing it down
and punishing the wrong-doer.
Tho ordinance is well adapted for
tho purpose for which it was de
signed, but its terms are broad
enough to prevent the erection of a
shed or other temporary structure,
if the letter of the law shall be ob
served. As it is not tho letter but
the spirit of the law which the city
government will Insist upon, no
doubt it will grant permits for such
temporary structures as may be nec
essary in connection with construc
tion work. Tho council should not
stop with simply defining fire limits.
There are many good reasons why
no houso should be built in the city
limits without a permit. Tho city
engineer's office ought to bo in po
sition to keep a complete record of
all houses and structures which are
erected. It would be no inconven
ience to tho builder and would en
able tho authorities to more easily
estiamte tho police and sanitary re
quirements of their charge.

Tho Investigation of the Standard
Oil officials, ail men or enormous
wealth, has proven one thing if noth
ing else. That one thing is that
Americans who are anxious to train
their children along financial lines
should keep them out of school and
teach them to know nothing. If
they have a particularly dull boy In
the family, tie to him. He is likely
to become a millionaire, for the in
vestigation referred to proves that
the Standard Oil officials are the
greatest lot of dullards and dunces
ever haled into court. They knew
nothing, had learned nothing, took
no hints, couldn't be coached and
had lost their memories entirely.
The case furnishes no reason to be
lieve that the fortunes of Rockefel
ler, Rogers or any of the rest of
them can be accounted for on any
other ground than that of "a fool for
luck."

Washington, Sept. 23 Vdmiral
Dewey Is opposed to the sale of the
Philippines. He does not believe
that his famous battle of Manila Bay
brought the United States a posses
sion which for strategic or other
reason is to rise up to plague us.
As chairman of the general board of
the Navy, it is Admiral Dewey's duty
to plan to meet the eventualities of
war. The progress of Japan and the
exposed position of tho Philippines '
have caused some experts to say that, I
in the event of war, those islands
would be a source of weakness.
Admiral Dewey, viewing the question
from all points of view, do03 not '
favor the withdrawal of the United i
States from tho archipelago at this
time.
He is not prepared to discuss the
measures adopted for tho defense of
the Philippines nor will he express
any-opinion concerning the move
ment of the battleship fleet to the fa
Pacific, but he does say: "Hold the
Philil pines." He is fearless of any
Injuring consequences following
American occupation and declines to
give any serious consideration S.o
predictions that Japan is so set upon
obtaining the island that, if neces
sary to get them, she will go to war.
In an interview today the Admiral
sets out the reasons which impel him
to insist upon the retention of the
island. The strong point of his argu
ment Is not based upon the military
or naval importance of the islands,
but upon the great value, present
and prospective, of the Philippines to
America in the extension of our trade
with the Orient.
