not be deniad, except in those necessary
agencies without which industrial pro.
gress could not be achieved. IT Is time
that we should reverse, | think, the gen
eral policy grown up in the United States
Of comforting corporate existence upon
any lawful project The license thus ex-
tended has done more than anything else
to obliterate tho individual from our in
dustrial system. 1t is especially time that
in the management Of business enterprl ses
the old privileges of competition should be
re- established aud the heavy hand of i'm
personal combination removed. The eX-
ercse Of a power that prevents any man
from the pursuit OF such calling as his
means permit, without subsection to the
obstacles Of unequal conditions, ought TO
be as lawless as the imposition of restraint
npon right to work.
These words are general, and do not
point the way to particular remedies;
but they are nevertheless sufficiently
clear to serve as a guide to much fu'
ture legislation. That spirit is foreign
TO our people and to the leal purposes
Of the Republican party which seeks to
bring into this country repetition of
the wage conditions visible abroad.
Whatever it is that tends to ROB our
workingmsn of his individuality as an
independent citizen and civic unit IL
wrong and hurtful; and the political
party which has successfully estab-
lished protection and honest money
need not shrink from carrying its good
work out to its logical completion in
curtailment Of the tendency which
seeks to sink the man in the mass and
to obliterate personality in dangerous
economic aggregates.

WE CAN cordially concur in any men
tion of the name of Charles Emory
Smith which has for its purpose the
calling Of public attention to his fitness
for a United States senatorship. We
do not know that Mr.. Smith is can

accept if chosen. But we do know
that it would be happy day which
should see in the senate from this state
gentleman of MIR. Smiths varied
learning, grace. polish and eloQuence.

Under the provisions of the Pound
law, which has recently been enacted
by the legislature of New York, chill
dren between the ages of s and 10 years
must attend some public, private or
parochial school, or receive home train.
ing during the entire school year; chill
dgen between the ages of 12 or IA must
receive schooling at least One.half of
each school year; while children be-
tween IA and 1G must 20 either to
school or 10 work. In the enforcement
Of these provisions penalties are pro-
vided for deliberately negligent par.
entl and guardians; while in the case
Of incorrigible truants, certain magis.
trates are clothed with the power of
commitment to special schools.
Ia connection with this law the fol-
lowing statistics, compiled by the Will
Transport Timaa, Democratic paper,
are interesting, particularly when it is
remembered that u Democratic gov.
eruor Of Pennsylvania one year ago
vetoed u similar bill, introduced by
Representative John R. Farr. With
the PREDATORY remark that New York
had need Of some law to compel chill
dren to attend school," the Times says:
"Of the 1918 093 pupils enrolled in
1898. there was Hu average attendance
of G6j, 5I4 about go per cent. This
average attendance was less than of
any state having II compulsory educa-
tion law. Take Massachusetts,
for instance: Its 3S9, 21G enrolled
pupils furnished 'an average daily at
tendance Of 2S3, GAS, upon public day
schools alone. ALI its largest cities
have parochial and evening schools,
statistics of which, added, would in.
crease the attendance. As far as the sta
tistics show, the average attendance in
Massachusetts is 50 per cent. of the
total enrolment very signifcin ex.
hibit After New York's law has bean
in operation as many years it ought to
show as favorable results for that
state. Pennsylvania stands next to
New York in number OF pupils en-
rolled, namely 1,032, 113, with an aver
age daily attendance Of 709, 7l9, or 70
per cent. approximately. 1t ranks very
we'll among states having no compui'
eory education law, and it might rank
very much better"
The opposition to compulsory educa-
tion in this state is based chiefly upon
the argument that cOmpulgion is not
the kind OF force 70 employ. Yet these
same opponents Of compulsion in mat.
ters Of education unreservedly favor
compulsory arbitration without ex-
planning their Inconsistency, The agi-
tation OF this subject IN other atates
has invariably mad the effect Of Demon
strating that along wise aud liberal
lines state education. even with COM
pulsion as feature for those who re-
fuse to be led, is a successful safeguard
of citizenship and one which the state
may well insist upon in sheer self de.
fense.

A dispatch from Harrisburg an
nounces that unless either Harrity or
Hensel can be persuaded to sacrifice
himself, the Democratic nomination for
governor will need to 60 to some one
like ex.Saeriff Robinson OF Lacka-
wanna, who can afford to sustain the
expense of losing campaign, in rec =
ognition Of past favors and rs a proof
Of party loyalty.
Iuasmuch as Harrity and HenSal ex-
hi4it no frantic eagerness to step up to
their medicine, it would seem to be
Robinson's opportunity. He has long
wanted to be governor. InasmuCh as
he cannot DO that, th2 next nearest
thing would be to be nominated for
governor and get roundly beaten. In
the role Of martyr, our Charles would
look statucsQuo and pretty; and the or
ganization. whatever that is, would
remain intact
This is really the time for Lacka-
wanna to gat smother high place on
the roll of fame. We should naturally
prefer to SEQ this suggestion omanate
from o Democratic source: but if it
cannot do that, then we'll start tho
buoiu ourselves. This coy aud shrink
iug lGodosty role does well in plays and
novels, but it will not declare divi-
dsnds in politica. Now is Robinson >
chance to drink deep Of the acrld wa
ters of ambition; now is his time ia
Eight, bleel and die.

could be undone; that this government,

trated villainous outrage upon weak

A JaiIor's Heroic Act.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 19.-Jailor Ernest
last evening heard the noise of a scutfle
on the second floor of the Jail, on run
ming up he found two desperate charact-
ers named Defiance and Christensen
fighting. Selling Defrance the jailer
pulled him into the corridor where he
was attacked by both men. A desper-
ate struggle commenced, when sudden
ly Christensen spraDg back and pulled
the lever that unlocked every cell on
the floor. Nineteen criminals burst
forth and drove the jailer into a cell
where they beat aud stamped on him,
but he tore through the mob and rush
ed down the corridor to the Office The
prisoners followed him in a wild dash
for liberty, but Ernest had grasped q
revolver and a billy. His nerve and
gun covered the toughs and they slowly
and sullenly went back to their cells.
