Educational Campairns.

Educational campaigns" is favorite
phrase in ths mouths Of writers and
speakers, used in reference to the politi-
cal contests of the past two or three
years. Political campaigns might be
educational. and as matter OF fact al
ways would be, only for the unfairness
of the human mind where its interests or
prejudices are concerned. All may be
fair in love and war, but all is not fair in
the field of argument and opinion. far
from it.
Whichever side of a question an arguer
is on, he ought to know that one of the
first rules of logic is to concede to the
opposing side all the facts that fairly be-
long to it, with their proper inferences.
But the style Of political argument too
much in vogue in the campaign just
passed has been to seize on two facts
that exist side by side and claim one as
the consequence Of the other. It is as if
the logician should say, "A horse has
four legs; table has four legs. there
fore o table Is horse.
II the cause Of university extension
ADVANCES in America as is expected.
then we may hope in time to hear ora
tors that are fair in argument, letting
facts go for what they are worth and
knowing how to use them. Then po-
litfcal campaigns viii indeed be educa-
tional. The man who distorts facts has
a graver responsibility to shoulder than
he perhaps thinks. What mankind
needs most for the progress of the race
is to get rid of prejudice, and not twist
facts to the side of their passions or in
terests. The man who knowingly ap-
peals to ignorance or prejudice among
the masses therefore does incalculable
injury.
Therefore don't rise above party, but
oe fair and square in argument.

4 Superintendent Porter Of the eleventh
census contributes ! paper 70 The North
American Review on the subject Of the
American peoples debts. though unfor-
tunately he does not tell us how to pay
them. He insists. however, that the I'D
dition Of mortgage Indebtedness stats
tics TO the census viii have wholesome
effect on the national mind. in that il
will call attention to the subject and en-
able both corporations and individuals to
see how much more or less they are 10
debt than they, were ten and twenty
years ago and thus stimulate them tc
make an effort to get out.
| The states have reason to felicitate
themselves. We find from an exhibit
published by Mr.. Porter that the state
debts Of the Union amounted to nine
dollars per capita for the whole country
IN 1870. In 1880 the sum had declined
to Sir dollars per capita. while in 1890 ii
h only three dollars. II may Be- that
the figures here are % small that some
of the states may BE- tempted to jump
into debt again. The per capita debt Of
al kinds state, city, county and ma
tional-was In 1870 es4.94 per head. In
1890 it is $32.25.
There are debt making and debt pay
ing periods. Mr.. Porter finds. We have
had repeatedly almost crazes Of going
into debt" and these have been followed
by periods Of retrenchment and reform.
Everything moves in waves. Beginning
in 1880 the states had their fever Of in
ternal improvements, and 80 high did
the impulse run that in some cases pub
lie improvements far in advance OF the
requirements Of the population were
ordered. The state debt epidemic
reached its elimination in 1919, when
some Of the strongest states in the Union
staggered ON the verge Of bankruptcy.
From 1870 to 1877 came the municipal
improvement craze, and the per capita
debt Of cities doubled between 1870 and
1880, and, like the state debts before it.
went far In advance or the population.
The last decade the country over has
been one of retrenchment and debt pay
ing Mr.. Porter calls attention to the
fact, however, that debt is not always a
sign Of financial depression. On the
contrary, it is frequently sign OF pros
perity, since sound headed business men
and corporations frequently increase
their working capital by borrowing
when they are certain that very act will
bring them larger returns.
AS to mortgages, abstracts Of 9,O0O.-
600 mortgages are now on file in the
census department. 1t cost 1900, 900
to collect mortgage statistics. which
sum would have paid of q good many
Of them.

The Tennessee coalminers, notstop-

Dor, have gone in for the wholesale
righting Of all the evils that affiict

have never been successfully coerced,
and even diplomacy is too slow in its
methods to suit their fiery temper.
