Tomorrow Dance Tonight.
With the arrival of between 160 and
200 teachers from Walla Walla, this
morning, the attendance at the
twelfth annual convention of the In
land Empire Teachers' Association,
reached high water mark. The total
number of teachers and other visitors
in the city is now estimated at 7E0,
though all those who came In this
morning had not registered at time 'of
going to press. The convention Is now
in full swing and so far Is considered
a great success from every stand
point. The general sessions as well as
those of the different sections have
each been marked with much Inter
est, the only regret being expressed Is
that those In attendance cannot be In
two or three places at the same time.
Dr. Bryan's Address.
A large crowd listened to the lecture
of Dr. Bryan last evening on the edu
cation of the disposition.
He said: "In the background of all
our werk lie our feelings and these
determine our disposition. The worst
effect of outside evil Is the evil dis
position It develops within us. We
can do something to help ourselves
away from Injurious feelings by the
method of destruction, especially by
play and by work. But more funda
mental methods are necessary, based
upon faith, magnanimity, courage and
above all upon charity. Charity Is the
physician attitude toward moral de
lenquency." Another exceedingly Interesting ad
dress was delivered this morning by
Dr. Bryan upon the "Teaching of
English." He wild, "It Is very hard to
teach literature for the reason that It
Is difficult to find a graded series of
tasks that Introduce to the Inner spirit
of literature itself. Committing to
memory of masterpieces Is one such
task. The Interpretation of literature
by oral reading li another. These
are not sufficient but should be more
employed than at present."
Literature The Greatest Art.
Dr. Sanford Bell, editor of the
Rocky Mountain Educator of Denver,
was another one of the . principal
speakers of the morning and his elo
quent address upon the "Literary In
heritance of the Race." was listened
to with the closest attention by the
crowd which packed the big church
to overflowing. He said there were
even arts In the world and after
naming them, declared the greatest
of those, to his mind, was literature.
The musical numbers of the morn
ing were a plnpo boIo by Miss Lora
Perry, a cello solo by Prof. Frank D.
Carruth, both of this city and a vocal
solo by J. E. Kecfe, 3r of Weston.
An extra general session was held
the first thing this afternoon to en
able President Bryan to deliver his
final address of the convention and he
was preceded on the program by Mr.
Moore of the American Book company
who rendered a vocal solo and then
responded to a double encore. Dr.
Bryan took as his subject the "Psy
chology of Belief," upon which he Is
now speaking.

Washington, March 24. The regu
lars and insurgents today officially
ratified the nominees of the republi
can caucus for the rules committee,
but each side Is prepared to throw
bricks if the "other side" makes any
hostile move. The insurgents declare
they made no effort to get places on
the committee because they wanted
harmony and feared any move on
their part would mean a fight. The
regulars declare they are seeking
harmony and believe the republican
party will get together and stay to
gether. ,
Only Friendly Rivalry.
With only the friendliest rivalry,
the republican caucus last night se
lected the six members of the rules
committee apportioned to the repub
lican majority of the house. The fol
lowing, all members of the regular
wing of the party, were chosen:
Walter I. Smith, Iowa, 168 votes.

126 votes.

night was taken by written ballot.
Nineteen men were placed In nomina
tion and a large umber of others re
ceived complimetary votes. Repre
sentative Gardner of Massachusetts
received 33 votes, the highest number
east for any Insurgent
The incident that threatened to pro
duce excitement was when Represen
tative Tawney offered a resolution
proposing the list of six men as nam
ed. Immediately there was objection
from an insurgent from Iowa to the
restricted nominations and an Infor
mal nominating ballot was proposed.
Mr. Tawney demurred and Represen
tative McCall of Massachusetts told
him that in Xew England "when a
slate was brought Into a convention"
It was generally considered not a dem
ocratic way of doing things. He be
lieved there should be an open ballot.
Representative Payne of New York,
the majority leader, settled the con
troversy by declaring, amid applause.
In favor of an informal ballot. Mr.
Tawney withdrew his resolution and
slate, which, nevertheless, proved suc
cessful on the ballots that followed
