THE VOICE
ANKW gratuitous press service is being offered news
pnpera this one nt any rate. The offer e.onies from
the "American Telegraph Press, .Inc.," of Washington,
D. 0. It is in tho form of a "daily democratic letter" by
Winfiold .Tones, "formerly with the Hearst service."
A month's free service, is offered. "If at the end of
a mouth's trial you would like to have the letter regularly
wc will quote you an astonishingly low price tor it. and
will be glad to have your order. If you do not. want it. at
the end of the moiitli that will be all right. You will owe
us nothing."
Tho letters have started and will probably continue all
through the campaign there is no way of stopping them.
They contain the ordinary partisan rehash of the political
hack-writer, painting in gruesome colors tho factional
fights of the republican organization and in rainbow hues
the harmony of democracy. One is at first puzzled to
know in whose interest the money is being spent which
faction or candidate gets the benefit. However, the last
sentence in eachfletter tells the story. J lure is a sample
final paragraph:
"Careful observation here
activities of the candidates
seems to indicate that Harmon has the lead with Uiulei
wood second in the running.
structed delegates but he is nor. strong m the south, and
his support at present is principally in members' of con
gress, who are in personal contact with the speaker.
Wilson, while still strong, seems to have lost, some of his
strength. His boom reached its apogee before the others
began to loom up larger on the political horizon, and the
Ilarvey-Wattcrson episode undoubtedly cost him heavily.
To Washington observers it appears that Harmon is stead
ily gaining, while Underwood is also making progress."
And when we remember that Harmon and Underwood
are the Wall street favorites that even .1. Pierp. has
endorsed them the mysterv is solved. Though the hand
be, the hand of Esau, the voice
being the pioneer of frenzied
FUNDAMENTAL
npniS country, with its institutions, belongs to the
people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow
weary of the existing government, they can exercise their
constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary
right to dismember or overthrow it. Why
should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate
justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in
the world?" Abraham Lincoln.
"There are those who do not believe that all the people
are fitted for popular government. Some of us (hire not
say so, but I do. We are called upon now,
we of the bar, to say whether we are going to protect the
institution of the judiciary, and continue it independent
(f the majority, or of all the people." President Taft.
"I believe in pure democracy. With Lincoln, I hold
that this country, with its institutions, belongs to the peo
ple who inhabit it. We progressives believe that the j)co
ple have the right, power and the duty to protect them
selves and their own welfare; that human rights are su
preme over all other rights; that wealth should be the ser
vant, not the master, of the people. We believe that unless
representative government
people it i not representative
Theodore Roosevelt.
Faith in the people this, in a nutshell, is the differ
ence between the progressive and the reactionary, tin all
governments.
There can be no harmony between Taft and Roosevelt,
for their fundamental principles differ. One is an aristo
crat, the other a democrat.
The difference between the political faith of Roosevelt
today and that of Bryan is that of tweedle-dum and
tweedle-dee. The platforms of Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson are identical while there is much in common be
tween Taft and Harmon.
It is high time that those who have the same political
faith discarded the fetish of partisanship and worked for
a common cause toward a common end regardless of the
party label that the candidate wears.
SCHOOL REVOLUTION
AN UPHEAVAL of New York public school methods is
the aim of a campaign launched there by Frank D.
Wilsey, a member of the board of education. Among other
charges he makes are the follewing:
"Our present methods are defective because unstable
and superficial. We don't teach fundamentals. It is a
pity that our educators don't realize that a child's, mind
is more or less like his stomach and almost sis easy to
overcrowd, and where it is overfed, mental illness ensues.
"Tho New York curriculum is now a hodge-podge of
a lot of useless stuff. When a new method or course was
adopted, something inferior should have been removed to
make a place for it, but instead, for 20 years, we have
been adding without eyer dropping anything."
New York is not the only state where the curriculum
contains a hodge-podge of useless stuff taught at the
expense of the essentials.
The percentage of failures in examinations in Oregon
shows that our methods need revolutionizing also.
