His attitude to ward trust ooroporations is not in accord with the leaders of the party, aid it is hoped he will make consid erable capital for the democratic campaigners, An English aeronaut, Stanley Spencer by name, succeeded in sail ing over London in an airship last Friday.

Henderson of Iowa, speaker of the national house of rep resentatives. Henderson is an ar- >!ent proteotionist, and the Iowa state republican convention had adopted a platform containing a de mand for tariff revision as a means of oheoking trusts. Speaker Hen derson had been renominated for congress, but he deolined the nomi nation, giving as th8 reason the lack of sympathy between his constitu ents on the tariff question. If thor oughly honest, he is right, but it is charged that he feared defeat. Whatever the real cause of Mr. Henderson’s refusal to accept the nomination, the act illustrates sueh a republican division of political sentiment that gives hope of suoh democratic success as -will overcome the republican majority in the house of representatives. Our Boys. All parents are not financially able to give their boys the start in life that would please them most. It is a fact beyond dispute that the young man is best fitted for business life whose school-room ed ucation is complete. Of course there- must be specific training for specifio service, but the knowledge that comes from the mastery of a college course so broadens the mind and stimulates desire that the aptitude for further learning by absorbtion or positive endeavor is made easier. Many fathers, however, are una ble to do more for their sons on this line than to give them all that the best local school affords. Right here the boy’s opportunity to make a showing is at hand. If he is satis fied, and displays no inclination to surmout the difficulties, and render some assistance in order that he may “go up higher” in the educa tional march, it may be Jbest that the father make no further effort. However, the main purpose of this writing is not to define the re spective duties of father and son, but to direct attention to the need of higher grades in our local schools. It may be true that the mastery of the full oourse at Perry or Fort Val ley is sufficient preparation for the ordinary boy, but it is also true that a grade or two higher would be much better. If the currioulum of the school at Perry should be so raised as to fit the students for en try into the junior elass of the col leges, not only would those who cannot go to college be much better fitted for business, but the college course would be brought within the reach of many of those whose envi ronment compels them to oount the eost olosely. The sohool, as the oourt of justice, is not a money-making institution, but it goes without saying, that the better a school is, the more benefi oial it is to the town in which it is located as well as of more servioe to the students.

A national Baptist congress was being held, and the building was literally packed with about 3,000 people.
