For very many years there has been
one element in American politics whose
influence foreigners have highly overesti-
mated and whose nefarious character has
been highly exaggerated by the common
people who have spoken of the politician
as if he were a criminal at large enjoying
immunity from retributive justice. The
office-seeker has been confounded with
public men to whom principle was dearer
than party and righteousness more desir-
able than success. The foreign student
of American history admitting into the
audience, chamber of imagination only
the facts relative to the professional place
hunter has wondered at the stability of
our institutions, devised ingenious theor-
les to account for their prolonged e1is-
tence under such adverse circumstances,
and invariably prophesied their ultimate
overthrow corrupt politics. But the facts
always have been that the number of un-
patriotic place seekers has been in the
minority and that the people at large
have been concerned more with issues
than with men. The people as whole
have seldom remained long on the wrong
side OF question, ond when they have
swung from the moorings of years it has
been because times have changed, new
issues arising new and unforeseen compli-
cations have come up to modify old views.
The American people are no rash exper;-
mentors. The halIoo of presidential
campaign is not the expression of their
deeper-seated thought. Cautious and
keen in business life, they bring to the
solution of political problems an amount
of conservatism which combined with an
intelligent active speculation makes re-
sultant which is a safe path to follow.
Men often speak since the last election
as if voters of this country were actuated
solely by discomfort and that the love of
change had caused what IN political par
lance is called Landslide" But the
fact is that for eight years the people
have been earnestly revolving the ques-
ton in their minds. They had no organ
izations authorized to speak their views
and the most highly gifted seers among
the leaders of either party had no actual
bases from which they could prophesy
victory or disaster. Not until the ballots
were counted could the result be approx
imately determined and then some were
agreeably surprised and all who refuse
to consider the thoughtful silence of the
masses are yet at a loss for an explana-
ton. The people have always been the
rulers, the ''politicians' can never de-
| moralize popular government, and we
may safely entrust our destiny to the
united wisdom Of the nation.

PRoF. RICE employed by the Forum to
study the educational system of the lead
ing cities of the county is contributing
some very interesting articles to that
journal. The schools of Baltimore, Gin
cinnati. Buffalo and ST. Louis have re-
ceived treatment that, If merited, ought
to aroase the educators of those sleepy
hollows from their lethargy, and if faults
are exaggerated the articles should call
down upon Mr.. Rice the just wrath Of
those directly criticised. The schools Of
Indianapolis stand high in his estimation
but it is singular that evils should be
pointed ont in detail III the former cases,
while the good of the latter place is pre-
scented rather as generalization.
