UFOLLETTE MAKING
GREAT CAMPAIGN
■fOIfEBK PROGRESSIVE MAKES
TELLING CAMPAIGN FOR (ON-
GHKSSIONAL NOMNATION.
W. L. LaFollette, the progressive
pioneer and the pioneer progressive,
is making a vigorous and effective
campaign for the republican nomina
tion for congress. He is covering all
parts of the district and is gaining
strength rapidly. That he will receive
strong support in Spokane is indicat
ed by the fact that at a joint meet
ing of the Spokane County Township
and Good Government club and labor
anion. Saturday be and A. E. Veatch
were endorsed The Labor World, of
ficial organ of the labor unions of
Spokane, published the following bit
of advice from A. XV. Swenson; in a
discussion of the several candidates:
"LaFollette of Whitman County.
A farmer of Whitman count) who an
nounces his candidacy on an insur
gent platform— and of all announce
ments his rings the most true. I am
convinced that he really means to be
right, although I am equally sure
■ that he is somewhat at sea as to what
particular way present evils may be
indicated. However, in the bunch
of selling platers so far entered in
the race, he listens to 'em like a
stake horse. Whatever else may hap
pen I am convinced Ibis farmer
would listen more closely to the ex
pressions of public sentiment than
any of the other candidates, and has
a preception of right than any other.
For first choice. I pick LaFollette,
and believe he will follow the lines
laid down by his distinguished rel
ative. For second choice, take your
pick of the bunch, after eliminating
Police Judge Mann."
Last Wednesday Mr. LaFollette
was in Spokane and gave out the fol
lowing interview to the Spokesman-
Review ;
"State conservation," said Mr. La-
Follette, "is directly contrary to the
policies of President Roosevelt and
President Taft, and Hie candidates
who are seeking to gain votes by
attacking federal conservation are
actually making a direct attack on
the Taft and Roosevelt administra
tions.
"Perhaps they don't realize it but
the state conservation candidates are
a good deal more anti-Taft, anti-
Roosevelt and anti-administration
than any progressive candidate could
possibly be. The progressives support
the Taft-Rooseveli policy in this; the
stand-patters oppose it.
Mr. LaFollette confesses consider
able optimism conceerning his cam
paign at this stage.
"1 bad felt ," he continued, "some
what handicapped on account of
there being so many progressive
candidates in the field and only one
standpatter, but 1 am beginning to
think 1 must be the man the Royal
Arch standpatters think they must
have to beat, judging from the way
they are going after me.
"First I was accused of dyeing my
hair to conceal my age; then I heard
1 was so illiterate that I could hard
ly write my own name or express an
idea it 1 bad one; now they are say
ing that I had a big land deal with
Levi Ankeny, by means of which I
was induced to support him in 1899
—When Ankeny'Swas.not elected, by
the way. v *
"In that fight John L. Wilson,
Levi Ankeny, Thomas Humes and
Addison G. Foster were candidates.
I supported Humes until the entire
King county delegation deserted him,
then voted once for Ankeny and
went to Foster. That is all there is
to that part of it.
"In 1887 1 borrowed $4000 through
(feirles F. Adams,'cashier of the
First National bank of Colfax, and
the note was drawn up in favor of
Ankeny. 1 paid it off with lb per
cent interest when it became due,
and long before I had any idea of
going to the legislature. That was the
only teal I ever bad with Ankeny. al
though I presume I have borrowed
thousands of dollars from the banks
in which he is Interested.
"And, by the way,'' added Mr. La-
Follette emphatically, "I paid those
notes in full, principal and interest.
I didn't get out of them by paying 10
cents on the dollar.
"I am now confidently expecting

1.. W. Robinson, of the Pullman
roller mills, is having the steam en
gine and boiler shipped from the lo
cal to N'e/perro, Idaho, where he has
another flour mill. The local mill
will hereafter be operated by electric
power, which was Installed a couple
of years ago, the steam engine hav
ing been out of commission for thai
length of time. The mill at present
is shut down, but will reopen again
as ion as he new crop of wheal
begins to arrive.
A heavy pall of smoke has covered
the Palouse country the past few
days, a reminder of the forest fires
that are destroyin thousands of
acres of standing timber in the
mountains to the east.
COUNTY JUDGESHIP
ATTRACTS INTEREST
TWO HIGHEST CONTESTANTS IN
NOX-PAItXISAN COM will
APPEAR ON BALLOTS.
The fallowing article under a Col
lax date, on the contest for the elec
tion of a successor of Judge Canfield,
who has recently resigned, appeared
ii a recent issue of the Spokesman-
Review:
'Now that the date for filing no
tices of candidacy has passed, interest
is being centered in the primary
election to be held on September 13.
The chief Interest centers in the elec
tion of superior judge. 'the fight is
believed to be "Pickrell against the
field," for ii is conceded that Mr.
Pickrell, who was recently appointed
by Gov. Hay over the protest of many
Whitman county citizens, will hold
his followers solidly in Hie primaries.
The new law is quite different to
that of the last election, in which the
judgeship was settled at the primary
election. Under the present law the
two candidates receiving the highest
vote at the primaries will be voted
for at the general election, their
names appearing upon both the re
publican and democratic ballots. It i =
generally believed that Mr. Pickrell
will be one of the two high men, as
the "field" which is opposed to him,
will be divided between four other
candidates, Messrs. Xeill, Neergard,
llanna and Still.
"The four last named are friend
ly to each other and it is tactlly un
derstood that should Mr. Pickrell
be one of the two high men in the
primary election the strength of the
other four will be centered against
him and upon the one whose name
is on the ballot with Pickrell. Mr.
.Will's friends and supporters here
hope that he will be the fortunate
man. Had the primary election been
as it was two years ago, when the
high man became the nominee of all
parties running and his name was
tii« only one on the official ballot for
judge, it is believed that no other
candidate aside from Mr. Neill
would have been filed. As the race
now stands it is a tor-all" until
the primary election and each of the
five candidates running will strive
to be one of the high men, in order
that hi-lii name may appear on the bal
lot to ac voted at the November
election. Mr. Neill is making a tell
ing campaign and his supporters have
already started work which they
hope will secure him a large enough
vote to place nis name on the ballot
in November."
PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19. 19J0
THE AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION MOVEMENT
L.\ E. i. BRYAN, President of die State College of Washington, Pullman.
The greatest movement of the cen-
tury has been the agricultural ed-
ucational " movement. li has been de-
scribed by that name, because ag
riculture, ib,. basic in,in.. the In
dustry of all Industries, is the big
gest thing in it. li takes the name of
the most Important, the most fun
damental, the most eternal, primarily
the most educational, of the human
activities. Without agriculture man
is a savage, and civilization is im-
possible; through it the races pro
gress slowly but surely to higher
levels. Out of it springs transporta
tion; trade, commerce, manufacture,
all of the useful arts. These consti
tute one and the same thing in the
end namely, the Industrial ac
tivities of mankind seeking for com
fort, health, growth and happiness.
Out of these activities grow laws and
sociological relations, Now, "agricul
tural education" was so named be
cause of it i fundamental relationship
to all these others, and to include
them all. It is essentially a*new point
of lew, md only of the unity of in
dustry and its use as an agricultural
agency, but of the primary impor
tance of agriculture. Attempts at
the separation of these several in
dustrial activities as educational
agencies are attempts either con
sciously or otherwise, as Napoleon
did with opposing armies, to separate
them and defeat them in detail. The
system of industrial education suc
ceeds as a unit or fails.
The contrasting system of educa
tion began at the opposite end of
the string. It. began, not with the
conception of man as an active, work
ing being, placed in a world where
bis education Inevitably takes place
through those activities, but with the
conception of man as a disembodied
soul wandering through the universe,
which finds temporary embodiment
in the life of flesh; and the educa
tion consists in finding this etheral
Ing an el heral food which has not
been contaminated by an earthly or
fleshly thing. Thus the school men
thought the soul would grow in pow
er by spending their days and nights
in reasoning how many millions of
angels could stand upon the point of
a needle, and similar absurdities. In
cidental to an education which was
wholly abstract ami in which the liv
ing soul was considered only apart
from 1 be living body, the devotees of
this system were compelled to use
language and the languages. And bo
there grew up a great verbal system
of education which dominated the
Allen Riley Killed by Kick of a Whitman County Pioneer Dead
Horse
Allen Riley, one id' the oldest set
tlers of this section, was killed by
a horse, which kicked him Saturday
evening, and bis deal occurred at.
the farm home near Win.lan Sunday.
Mr Riley was 78 years old and bad
lived in this county and on the land
where he died for 3 3 years. He is be
lieved to be the only person in this
neighborhood who has lived on bis
original homestead for that length
of time..
Mr. Riley came here from Kansas
in 1577, having crossed the plains
with a mule team. lie took the home
stead and never moved from it in
more than '.',:', years. His family grew
up there and his sons and daughters
are still residing in the northwest.
He leaves a widow, two .-oil: and a
daughter. Tim latter, Mrs. John Hull,
lives in Spokane. One son lives at
Kendrick, Idaho, and another at
(ileal Falls, Montana, lb' leaves a
brother and two sisters.
The funeral was held at 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon from the Bran
ham school house and interment was
in Branham cemetery, on the orig
inal homestead of his sister, Mrs.

world for .lit lilies and became the
; fundamental Instrument of colleges
i and universities in the dawn of mod
ern times. A most natural result was
exclusively the professional man as
its chief useful product, and the
seeming exclusion of the educated
man from the great producing world.
In agriculture, transportation, com
merce or manufacture, he was an
anomaly. In he esteem of most men
be had made a failure in life and was
relegated to the groat Industrial
class. Often he as an abject, failure
there, Still the system of subserv
ience to the authority of the sage
or savant in education, ibe literary
method, the professional or diletante,
one dominated the higher education
till half a century ago, and is still
powerful. Then began the rise of
the "agricultural education" system,
the system in which words are not
the only means of education, the sys
tem in which the useful is admitted
as well as the so-called "aesthetic,"
the system in which the direct ob
ject is to educate the man, not only
lor the useful activities of life, but
by those activities, Set on the one
side the leisure, the rich, and the
professional men, and on the other
the great, aspiring, struggling mass
of men who are creating, and con
serving the world's wealth, and living
for the better or the worse thereby,
and you have the classes. The old
education was for these; the new ed
cation is for these. And the mission
aries of the new education, which
includes all means and ends of ag
riculture, manufacture, trade, trans
portation and commerce, do not pro
pose to be defeated by Ihe separa
tion of these Insignificant and pow
erless groups.
It is true that the old education,
which faces in the direction of what
.Mill no great degree of exactness,
have been railed the culture studies,
the "disciplinary" studies, etc., has
been greatly modified by the new sys
tem, in when the "utilitarian" and
rational courses are emphasized, lt
is also true that the new education
fully recognizes the broadening effect
of literary and "culture" studies. But
even yet the two systems of education
are not over one against the oilier,
and it is the duty of those that be
lieve that our "common human wel
fare" should be the end of state ed
ucation, rather than the production
of a .-.mall cultural class of society
separated by a distinctly drawn line
from the great mass of our people,
to use voice and vote for the support
of the "new education."
