it would be = benefit to them and that
their expenses would be no greater by

pie thought differently, and said, when
our Township is well settled we have
intelligence enough to attend 70 those
matters ourselves. But some Of them
might be considered uncbaritable In

summer, he used all the means he

one else who might differ with him,

mend Geordie to take a squint in thu

AMERICANISM THE FOE OF AN
ARCHY.

The Hon, Chauncey NJ. Depew in his
great Chicago speech, it seems to us, has
hit upon the correct theory of the treat
ment of the Anarchial disease in the
body polite. From that wonderfully
able effort we copy, the more readily
perhaps, because it is right in the line of
the BANNERS recent remarks on that
subject, as follows:
There is an intellectual awakening in
this land, and its stimulants effect the
we'll being and the safety of life and
property and law. The trades union is
debating club: a session of the Knights
congress of labor: the Sabbath picnic
is a school, not of divinity, but Of the
ology. The questions discussed are vital
in their proper solution to the State, so
ciety and the church. The churches of
all creeds and men of every faith are do
ing magnificent work in the cOnserva-
tion of the virtues and habits of liberty
but the preacher has lost his political
influence and the priest much of the
power he possessed in the more primi-
tive period.
The teachers of disintegration, de
struction and infidelity possess the &C
tivity of propagandists and the self sac
rficing spirit of martyrs. Their field IS
ignorance. their recruiting sergeants
distress. Only faith grounded in knowl.
edge can meet these dangerous. .ceaseless
and corrupting influences. In the midst
of these perils the sheet anchor of the
ship Of State is the common school. Be
fore the era of great cities and crowded
populations. when it was easy both to
earn living and to gain competence,
when the best influences of every settle
ment reached every part of 1t, the State
met every requirement in furnishing
free fair business education. But now
by far the larger part of our people have
no common ancestry in the Revolution.
ary war, and generation has come to
its majority which knows little of the
Rebellion and its results, Colonists from
Europe form communities, both in city
and country, where they retain the Ian
guage, customs and traditions of the
fatherland, and live and die in the be
lief that the Government is their enemy.
To meet these conditions the State pro-
vides an education which does not edu-
cate. and the prison and the poor
house.
Ignorance judges the invisible by
visible. Turn on the lights. Teach first
and last, Americanism. Let no youth
leave the school without being thorough
ly grounded in the history. the princi-
piles and the incalculabe blessings of
American liberty. Let the boys be the
trained soldiers of constitutional free.
dom, the girls the intelligent mothers of
freemen, and the sons of the Anarchists
will become the bulwarks of the law"

She was well known to the reporter,
he had been present at 1900 meetings
over which she had presided. He had
reported her speech in all stages Of un-

because she was very good woman,
whose husband was worth something
like a half a million of dollars. There
fore when he saw her yesterday in the
chair at meeting of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Mosquitoes, he
was prepared to do his duty and con-

he felt that it was somewhat cruel when
