Better Political Education Needed.

Better Political Education Needed.
The country is well supplied wit h
public schools and various institutions
of leaning. bringing the means of edu-
cation within the reach of all; never
theless. the political education of the
great mass of the people is defective.
Most men are instructed in their COM
mon business avocations, but too
many have only limited knowledge
of the machinery of government and
| the national issues before the country.
In order to operate the political ma
chinery of our form of government
successfully, it needs to be well under
stood by the voting population. In
no other government III the world is
there such a necessity for an educated
constituency as in the United States.
here the people collectively, the learn
ed and the ignorant, are the sovereign
power, and unless that power is famil-
lar with the theory and practical
workings of government, how can it
be successfully cOntrolledl Thomas
Jefferson, one of the founders of this
government, declares that It's preser-
Walton and stability depended upon
the education of the people. As an
evidence that many voters are only
specifically instructed in respect to
the question of public policy for the
safe exercise of citizenship, every year
preceding a general election speakers
supposed to be capable of ins.ructing
che people how to vote iISelligently
are sent to every town and village.
The voters come together at the ap-
pointed meetings to hear their duties
explained, and to arrive at conclusions
on which side to vote. If voters were
educated as they ought to be, and as
they should be required, there would
be no necessity of sending political
missionaries through the country to
enlighten the people as to their duties
at the polls. If every one was edu-
Gated with the condition and govern.
mental wants of the country as he
should be, he would want no political
lecturer to instruct or advise in the
matter of voting. But unfortunately
the general standard of education is
too low for independent voters. An
other evidence of the ignorance of
many voters oil political matters is,
that many come to the polls on cleo
ton day with no definite idea how
they intend to vote; they cast their
ballot on whichever side they happen
to be influenced for the time being.
What day or educational triumph il
will be when the vocation of the elec-
pioneering politician shall be useless;
when every citizen entitled to the
. right of suffrage shall come to the
polls intelligently, with his mind
deliberately made up how he intends
to cast his KsnOsha Telegraph,

THE JOURNAL is prominently LOCAL
PAPER and as such has gained a wide and
envlable reputation. 1t enjoys the proud
distinction of being in the lead in the
matter of Local Correspondence" and is
the wonder of its cOtempOraries as the
only paper which has successfully main
tanned, undiminished, the interest of its
large number of local contributors in its
welfare. Because of its superiority as a
dissemination of local news it is widely
read without regard to the political, reli-
giOus or other affiliations of those who
wish to obtain information of local ma
ture, and this is fact worthy the careful
consideration of advertisers.
The pay in advance" system upon
which The JOURNAL is published long
since ceased to be an experiment, and we
lind 1t much more satisfactory TO our sub
scribers, as well as Ourself, than the old
method. The especial attention of our
subscribers is directed TO the following
OBSERVATIONS:
l. Subscriptions, in all cases, are pay
able in advance.
2. The date on yellow label shows the
time to which each subscription is paid.
3. When money is received the date
on label Will be so changed as TO include
the time for which il pays, and no sub
scriber should allow his date to be wrong
without calling our attention to the mat
ter, that any possible mistakes made may
be corrected
4. The paper is discontinued at the
expiration Of the time for which subserip-
ton is paid, and failure to renew before
or promptly at such time is regarded By
us as notice that the paper is no longer
desired.
5. Subscribers changing their post-of-
flee should promptly notify US, giving
former as well as present address.
8. Prompt renewals in all cases are
most respectfully solicited, and subscrib-
ers who do not wish TO miss a single num-
Der should have their renewals entered
before the publication Of the issue next
succeeding expiration of subscription.
