A hopeful spirit is OF great gain: but
upon the minds OF even the most hopeful
OF uE must be forced deepest questioning
as to whether civilization may not posi-
bly, be progressing backward in these
broad States. We flippantly talk Of mil
lions; we pride ourselves of the vastness
of our territory; we tell of it's onward
sweep and the very noise OF Boosting so
fascinates rs that we are 10th to ask for
real evidences OF power. A few statistics
in one direction are unavoidable. They
shall be very limited in number.
Roughly speaking we have i'll this
country 1915, 900 public oolteachers.
BY LATEST figures from the Bureau ofEdu-
cation, we spend yearly ITS millions Of
dollars on our common schools, whose
buildings are valued at 439 millions o.
dollars There are enrolled in public and
private schools fifteen million of children
of school age. So much for education!
There are here nearly 100000 paid
teachers OF religion, the clergy; they OF
fclate in q somewhat larger number OF
buildings. Their work is aided by the
labors OF seyenty-hve Thousand Sunday
school uperintendents and legions OF
teachers. The enrolment Of pupils is
nearly equal 10 that in the public schools
So much for religion!

forces, ii very Niagara Of power?

But despite education, there are vast
numbers who seem utterly unprepared
to struggle for existence. Though
knowledge is increased like food, and
men hold their hands aIoft to praise free
education, it still has failed to give wOr-
thy ideals to the dwelerS in our iails, the
tramps on our highways, and the trait
ors III our political life. Despite religion
and science-and education-the triune
hope of the race, thousands upon thons-
ands OF men are beastly and groveElng,
selfish and cruel In their most essential
relations they still remain gin the deepest
darkness; witness the swarms OF idiots
and the gibbering hosts OF the insane.
To Knowledge we may wellsay;
"Of what avail to tame the lightning's
speed,
To quell the waves and hold the winds
in leash,
If health no moro be Labors NEED,
If love be smothered. honor spurned,
And beauty crushed in Mammon's blind
stampede?
What boots it to have turned
The souls dull sons to nervous factory
slaves,
# pain that stuns, if pleasure that
deprayes
Hurry the haggard millions to their
graves?

and for them to have adopted any other
course after the action of the convention
would have been to put themselves in the
attitudesof party wreckers.
I'm accounting the action of the conven.
