One-Man Rule Again. Democratic floor leader Underwood's rule in the lower house must recall to the memories of some of the older members of that body the days when Joe Cannon ruled supreme. In fact so supreme was his rule as to bring about a revolt which resulted in shearing the speaker of nearly all his authority. Among the most active in this historic legislative revolution were the members tof the Democratic minority who aided and abetted the progressive Republicans in every move icf their successful campaign against Cannonism. Today the speaker is as much a figurehead as Cannon was after the house revolutionists had completed their operation on his powers and prerogatives, but under the present Democratic regime a one-man rule, equally as bad as the one the Democratic party helped to destroy a few short years ago, is being fostejred by that party. The authority once vested in the speaker is now being yielded to the majority floor leader. What a truly Cannon-like spectacle was Rep. Underwood's action of compelling the Democratic
caucus to adopt a resolution prohibiting the introduction of any further legislation during the
present extraordinary session of congress, except such legislation as the floor leader desired to have introduced. This resolution, further, suspended that rule adopted by the Progressive Republican-Democratic insurgents after the political decapitation of Speaker Cannon, which permitted the house !to call out of committee any bill after it had been !in the hands of the committee a stipulated length of time. This rule, which for the time being has been shelved, was regarded as one of the most splendid ifruits of the victory over cannonism and its suspension can only be regarded as a decided step backward. . , Without this rule there can be no such thing as free and untrameled representation in the lower house for subserviency to the boss-controlled majority caucus becomes almost complete. It appears to be about time for another revolution in the house but the prospects for one are very slight. Democratic representatives must be
good if they are to get their "pickings" and the minority is too small to accomplish any results, so Underwood can continue to wear in peace the crown snatched from the pate of Uncle Joe Cannon.
cent. Richmond's experience with the school bonds has simply shown that the conditions affecting the New York bond market are fundamental and nation wide. Rather than sell the $35,000 worth of bonds recently offered, to the Fletcher-American bank of Indianapolis at a $500 discount, this paper be-
! lieves the school board should substitute a new is
sue of bonds bearing 44 or 44 per cent, interest and seek to sell them to the citizens of Richmond for whatever premium above par they are willing to offer. The present issue contains no bonds of a lower denomination than $500. In the New York bond market hundred dollar denominations are becoming quite frequent and are referred to as baby bonds. They are justly popular with that large class of people who have one or two hundred dollars to invest but not five hundred or a thousand. Richmond proportionately has a large class of people who can and will take one or two hundred dollar bonds where it is a financial impossibility
for them to go as high as five hundred dollars. By calling for what one might term "underwriting" bids on hundred dollar denomination bonds in advance of the printing of the issue, the school
board would be able to arrange for as many bonds of that denomination as there would be a demand for, and the balance of the issue could be
turned over to the bid of those investors who care for larger denominations.
With Philadelphia just concluding a very suc
cessful popular offering of city bonds in a campaign in which even the department stores sold bonds over their counters, there is no reason why the civic spirit of Richmond's investors should not be put to the test, providing that the existing
fundamental conditions governing the bond market are observed.

Indiana's Remedy. The Ohio State Journal complains that the "Journal of Education" advocates a change in our educational system but offers no remedy. The Journal says: The leading article in "Journal of Education" of Boston Is on the subject, "The New Basis of Education," a well written and interesting article but it does not tell what that new basis is. It described the great change that has taken place in our industrial system, and contends there should be a similar change in our school system; but it does not describe the definite form that change should assume. The author, who is Scott Nearing of the University of Pennsylvania, simply tells of the change in the industrial system and intends that to foreshadow the change demanded in the educational system. He would have done better if he had taken into account the change in the philosophy of life that has occurred In the last 40 or 50 years, and formulated his new basis out of that. Our educational process goes on under the guidance of a philosophy that passed away with the old industrial system. Herbert Spence, John Stuart Mill and that class of Philosophers have gone and still we are educating the youth on their old theories. There is a new philosophy, one that stands for the highest human genius, for the completest statement of truth, and that is the philosophy of James of Bergson, of Eucken. We have got to come to it, or our educational process will be limping and shuffling along till the day of doom. If we have any educational reformers let them see to it; let them see that the materialistic processes and the aggrandizing exhibits cease, and that they get down to the living truth of education. That itself is the preliminary which will clean out the rubbish and brighten the way. Indiana has recognized the necessity of education reformation in grade and high schools and is offering vocational training as the basis of school work. This is viewed with apprehension by many of the leading lights of the schoolmaster's guild but Indiana vitizens believe the experiment will prove successful. Popularize School Bond Issue. Apropos the practical failure to sell the recently offered 4 per cent, school bonds, the Palladium believes if the rate of interest is raised in accordance with the present prevailing rate in the bond market, and the denominations include a one hundred dollar series, the people of Richmond will respond to a popular offering of the new bonds and take them all. The high cost of living has been making itself felt in the bond market as well as on the consumer's table. Recent offerings of bonds in New York have been at a higher rate than in years. The New York city bonds sold the other day bore
4Vfc per cent, interest, compared to previous of
ferings pi city bonds hearing only 4 or 4 14 perjdo likewise.
NATURE'S MIRACLE
A miracle of Nature this The apple trees all bare Until they feel the south wind's kiss, Then not a twig does blossom miss, Their bloom is everywhere. And with this bloom the south wind plays, Tossed into wave-like roll. All white beneath the sun's bright rays That gives that whiteness as sun stays And takes its spring time toll. And now at ninety In the shade Fast falls the bloom-tide snow, The grass all white by it is made, Where apples will in fall be laid When blooms to apples grow. Year after year this change we see, And yet 'tis always true That though we live three score to be This miracle of apple tree Will be a vision new. John C. Hurlbut.

fXatlonal News Association) PARIS, June 3. France has been commissioned by the powers to re
organize the domestic affairs of Tur
key and "put the government on its
feet" so it will be able to pay the
enormous debts contracted during the!
Hainan war. France was selected because of the enormous amount of French capital invested in Turkish securities. M. Louis Bompard, French ambassador to Turkey, arrived here yesterday from Constantinople for the purpose of making a complete report of Turkish conditions to the French government. There is talk that W. Morgan Shuster, the American who brilliantly demonstrated his executive ability in Persia two years ago before being driven out by the Persian government, may be chosen by the Turkish government as commissioner of finance. Mr. Shuster is now connected with an an American banking house.

In discussing the subject of beef cattle, F. G. King, of the Animal Husbandry Department, Purdue Experiment Station, says, "Indiana needs more beef cattle. Any system of farming whereby the fertility of the soil is allowed to decrease must result in unprofitable farming. Economical maintenance of the soil demands that the rough feed of the farm be consumed by live stock. Cattle are the mcst efficient animals for conversion of roughage into a product that is salable without great loss of soil fertility. In addition to the value of cattle for disposition of rough feed and maintenance of soil fertility, seven years experience at Purdue Experiment Station has shown that there has been approximately J10.000 profit per steer from feeding cattle. The profit of cattle feeding, however, depends on the selling price of the finished product. Assurance for a comparatively high market for some time to come can be found in the general high market for some time to come can be found in the general shortage of beef throughout the country. The last decade has seen an increase of more than 20 per cent in the beef consuming public of America and has also witnessed an actual decrease in the number of beef
cattle. The supply of feeder cattle purchased on the market in 1912 has been approximately 9 per cent less than in 1911. When it Is borne in mind
that the products of the feed yards of 1912 which returned such high Ircfitr were purchased largely in 1S11 the shortage of feeding cattle in 1912 should assure comparatively high prices in 1913. The value of cattle for disposing of rough feed and the present assurance of good prices warrant beef producers in continuing their operations in both feeding and breeding cattle. The most economical production of teef must be secured through the liberal use of corn s;lage. Numerous trials have shown that the profit per steer may be increased from $2 to $1S per head by use of corn silage. The most satisfactory ration for fattening taulc is one consisting of all the corn and corn silage the cattle will eat, 2l pounds of cottonseed meal daily BIG SURPRISE TO MANY IN RICHMOND Local people are surprised at the QUICK results received from simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc.. as mixed in Adler-i'ka, the German remedy which became famous by curing appendicitis.
