It isn’t polite for even an artist to bit his soul mute with the potato masher. There in a valuable hint to parents in the similarity of the words "prank” and "spank.” Ella Wheeler Wilcox is advocating perfect children—for other people. Mrs. Wilcox is wholly unselfish In the mat- ter. Fewer men would be struggling for a “principle” In politics If they had no Interest in a Job with salary attach- ment. An observer who thinks he has counted 40.000 varieties of the common fly probably enumerated the same fly several times. The largest and heaviest battleship ever planned lias Just been launched for Great Britain. It must be about Ger many's turn next. It's all right for Peary to want to find the south pole, but everybody would be entirely satisfied with him If he only found the north. What has become of that new book less waist that fastens itself up the back when a chain Is pulled? We’d Uke to see how It works. A man claims that a girl hypnotized film by telephone, it appears to be lm- possible to have a situation In which the man cannot blame it on the woman. Russell Sage's estate amounts to $64,- 000,000. Had lie been permitted to live another year or two he would have rounded It out to $70,000,000 without much effort. Architects and engineers say there is no reason why buildings 200 stories In height are impossible. What insur ance company will be the first to beau tify the sky line with a 200-story build Ing? The President wants Congress to ln- crease the standing army to 100,000. There is certainly standing room In the country for a lar-er army. Just as there is water enough to accommodate a larg er navy. Anarchist Berkman doesn’t have to work for a living. All he has to do is to go out and start a revolution in some room over a beer saloon, and the au thorities at once furnish him free board and lodgings. Orville Wright announces that It Is possible to construct an aeroplane which will carry seven people, It will not be long before our aeroplanes will be equipped with straps for the accom modation of people who cannot obtain seats. An Incidental phase of the situation In eastern Europe which interests America Is illustrated by the report that Armenian leaders are seeking to check emigration to the United States and that already 1.000 men arrived at Batoum ready to sail have abandoned that purpose. The old idea that a minister should occupy a place apart from his charge has In large measure given way to the sentiment of a "practical nge" and the so-called Institutional church of the cities is but one manifestation of this Idea. In the city the method by which a minister may come most closely to his people Is a complicated matter, for the people under his spiritual guidance are of many occupations and many activi ties, In the country the question is a more direct one. Here the congrega- tlon Is of oue mind, of one line of thought. There is great hope and great safety tn the campaign methods of to-day. It is the Intelligence of the citizen that is appealed to. It Is a campaign of edu cation and discipline, not one of torch light parades and a big noise. The newspaper which educates and Informs the musses la the great factor In poli ties as it Is In other measures educa tional. intellectual and social. The old war horses and the former school of politics have had their day. They may have been Indispensable for primitive methods, but their occupation la gone. We welcome an Intelligence which In sures a good government and au honest citizenship. There Is no Issue In the political campaign to compare In gravity with the issue of law enforcement In the United States and the rigid and un compromising march of Justice, The right spirit cannot be thrust upon the people suddenly by force of arms. They must be born and bred to a re spect for the law; they must be train ed and educated to a regard for their country and its Institutions; they must be laught by every known agency in the republic to adopt as a part of their active, everyday working patriotism the high resolve to stand for the law Individually and collectively; to op pose all who oppose It; to sustain It even «hen they do not like It, and to make "this country a country of the law," Ivenuse they are convinced that lbs fv|>ublK’« bulwark la lb« lew; {bat O « society'« happiness depends upon that "(reedoiu is its child, peaei 1« its I companion and safety walk* Ut its '■ step«."
