There is no doubt that the incoming
state legislature will be flooded with
bills covering all the cardinal points
of the legislative compass. 1t is also
certain that most of these bills will
be almost useless for the ends design
ed. The,incompetency of legislatures
to effectively devise for the proper
regulation of such matters as properly
fall within their purview, is notorious.
Were less that is of doubtful char
acter attempted, and the attention
concentrated on matters that really
belong to the state to regulate, better
results might be achieved. The trou-
BILE is that instead of regarding the
government as eRpublican, the ten
dency is to make it a theocracy, in
which the state stands for God, and
teh legislature the voice of God on all
personal and family matters. Person
al politics and personal legislation are
personal impertinences, requiring per-
sonal squelching.

The experiment in elective studies in
the schools of this city as at present
conducted is proving successful. The
proper safeguards have been thrown
around the election to prevent it be-
ing taken advantage of the dull and
indolent pupils who fail in their regu-
lar classes. This precaution was all
that was needed to make the system
effective for the purposes intended,
which were to afford a pupil the best
possible opportunity for gaining such
education as would best fit for active
work when the school days needed and
actual business life was taken up.
This is the real end of it all.

That Heather Chinee who lectured
in Chicago the other day puts up a
good card for Confucius, but he2shows
no good reason why the Chinese
should be admitted to citizenship in
this country, nor that the attempt to
establish a Republican form of gov
eminent there would succeed. The
history of China society on this con-
tinent demonstrates that under Re
publican form the Chinese would di-
vide into two classes, the highbinders,
and the low-binders, whose principal
business would be to cut each others
threats. That might be the best So
luton Of the overproduction of Chi
nese population.

The extradition treaties multiply,
and soon there will be no place on the
footstool where the American fugi-

long arm Of the law. The safest place
to hide in now is in one of our large

est place is in the court where he
stands trial. This is not as compli-
mentary to our police and courts as
it might be, but it is truth.
