The big event of the evening was the
Michael-Taylore race. Taylore won the pole
ninety-four and MichaePs 1906 The riders
got on the scratch line at 1920 o'clock. Tay-
lore rushed off and caught the PAGER on the
first turn, with Michael two lengths be-
hind. Taylore rode like a whirlwind, and at
the end of the first mile led Michael by a
Michael forged ahead, and at the end of the
third mile he was one lap to the good. In
the fourth mile Michael gained a lap and
in the fifth he had the same distance to his
eighth mile, and Michael passed him for the
third time. Time at the end of the eighth
mile, for Michael, 1907.
Taylore lost his pacemakers in the tenth
mile, and at the beginning of the eleventh
Michael was close up to him and passed
spectators were by this time worked up to
the highest pitch of excitement. The
Frenchman was evidently beaten, but he
stuck to his work. and was seemingly not
cisheartened when, Michael passed him on
the thirteenth mile for the fifth time
Michael ran up another lap to his account
in the fourteenth mile In the seventeenth
mile TaylOre rode around after Michael's
pacemakerS for three laps but the effort
weakened him considerably, and he had to
let up, and Michael ran ahead another lap
at the end of the nineteenth mile.
Taylore's saddle broke in the twentieth
mile, and in exchanging wheels he lost two
laps, thus giving Michael a clear lead of
mile. The wheel which was substituted
for Taylores damaged one was geared to

with the Superative efforts of the little

lap at the close of the twenty-third mile
From this to the end of the race Michael
went so swiftly that it took all the starch
out of his rival, and Michael finally won
by thirteen laps.

twenty thousand Puritans who came after
them. The Pilgrims burned no witches,
banished no human being for conscienca
sake but lived their cody lives at peace
even with the Indians. They welcomed ana
protected all who would come to them ana
share their fortunes.
but the Puritan forefathers imbued with
the spirit of the Old Testament and feeling
little the lessons of the New, were very
different persons For seventy years they
would not permit a lawyer in their colonieSs
which, perhaps, was not an unmixed evil,
but the clergy wanted to make and execute
the laws. They created theoretic gov

ties in our own time: They We're the pro-
jenitors of the political leader wnom We
sometimes designate as the boss. Tney
believed in liberty, but only for those VINO
sDeech. but only for those who preached as
they taught and from their texts. They
treated summarily the ugwumps or their
day They hogged them and bored their
ears The muRwumps were the QuakerS,
whom they punished, and the HutchlnSonSs
whom they expelled; Inc Ieaaer. OF lnu e,

party. was Roger Williams. He found that
there was no place for an Independent poll

else but Christians. the receptacle OF tbs
convicts of Jerusalem and the outcasts or

and so the Puritans passed laws furnishing
any who wasted It by unnecessary fusilades,
except the gun was directed against wolves
or Indians-there was no close season Tor
shooting Indians.
but the grand merit Of these bigots was
that they could both suffer for consciences

They were welded to church and state. but
they separated the church from the state

with religious liberty. They recognized that
all government is based upon the consent
OF the governed, and, above all, they buslr
their republic not upon the masset, but
upon the individual. Their high thinking
has carried them so far that whenever
there is a Yankee there is church and q

ticed slavery, and yet the Puritan LoveJoy

the Puritans, die for the freedom or the

Determined Juvenile strike.

MUNCIB, Ind. Jan. 1.-State Labor Com
missioners L. p. Mccormack and B. F.
Schmid to-day have been attempting TO ar
bitrate the strike at Ball Bros fruit-jar
factories among the carry-out boys. On
account of this being a holiday the entire
force of fifteen hundred hands at the fac
tory has been off duty. The boys demand
81 a week, an increase of so cents. Yes
terday the firm offered to pay this, but
with the understanding that the extra so
cents be held until the close of the fire. to
insure that they would not again strike
This the boys agreed to this evening after
the state commissioners had worked with
them while Then the firm went back on
its offer when informed that the fifty boys
in. another part of the factory were de-
handing Sc a week instead of SIS. These
said they would not go to work Monday.
This trouble is all in factory No. l. To-
night the boys employed in the other fac
tory announced they would not go to work
Monday unless they are given the same in
crease, and 1t looks as If the big plant will
be closed down by the little workers. The
company announces that men have been
employed at IS a week to fill the places OF
the boys asked. The state commissioners
have rented a hall for the strikers and will
endeavor to keep them away from the fac
tory. They state that the boys charge that
it has been customary for their foreman
to fine them a small amount for such mis-
derleanOrs as fighting, throwing snowballs
and general mischievousness, and some
weeks some of them have lost all their
wages in fines. This the commissioners de-
nounce. The boys are about fourteen years
old

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS.
Present Aspect OF Pedagogical Sci
ence Is One of Change.

encc Is OnS Oh CnanSe.
Prof. ]. NJ. Coulter, in University Record.
Never in the history of education in Amer
lea has there been such a universal move
ment towards change as now. Conscious
that existing plans must be modified all
who are interested in education have feel
ing of great unrest, and this feeling eX
presses itself at every educational confer
ence. Discussions are endless and often APP
parently fruitless, for opinions are num-
erouS as are the factors OF the problem
and the mighty power of W hat las been over
the trail form of What might be holds us
with a deathlike grip
1t is not probable that some great educa-
tiOnal reformer will arise and lead us di-
rectly to the truth. In these days we are all
searching for the truth so eagerly that it is
not likely to come as a sudden revelation.
1t will probably come by a series of APP
proximations, and it will not be recognized
until 1t has been thoroughly tested; and
when it is known and acknowledged no one
can tell who has been responsible for it, for
1t will have been evolved gradually from all
our former experience.
There is no problem concerning which we
so i'll afford to be dogmatic and no one
concerning which we are so dogmatically
inclined There is no question concerning
which past experience may be so unsafe a
guide, since what we have attained cannot
be compared with what hope for and
have a. right to expect. There is no problem
in which theorizing may lead so far astray
and no problem which has been so covered
up with crude theoriZing. We do not under
stand the structure We are seeking to mod
ify and develop; we do not know what we
want to do for it when we shall understand
it; and we do not know how to accomplish
when we shall know what we want Out or
this mass of negations we are constructing
our hypothesis, and even venture to hope
that they may stand.
That student of education has not adj
vanced very far into his subject who has
any great measure of confidence in his own
opinions or in those of any one else. The
effect of all this should be, not a discour-
aged, but receptive mind, not dogmatism,
but liberality. There need be no expectation
that the true education is just at hand, and
those impatient souls who cannot rest con-
tent until everything is settled must Guilt
waite the scientific spirit, which has learned
to labor and to wait.
1t is no less a fact, however that the. true
education is nearer at hand than it was last
year, and that it's coming will be FASTENED
in proportion to our dissatisfaction with the
existing order of things and our rejection of
that understanding dogma that the past
contains all that is best in-oducatiOn. Our
educational growth should be like that of a
vigorous tree, rooted and grounded in all
the truth that the past has revealed, but
stretching out its branches and ever re-
newed foliage to the air and the sunshine
and taking into its life the forces of to-day.

Gas-Relt TrolIex Line.

ANDERSON Ind, Jan. Though the
Gas-belt electric railway was opened to
travel as far as Alexandria last week, the
regular through-car service was not begun
until to-day. Cars were put on between
the public square of this city and the center
of Alexandria this morning at 10 o'clock
and hereafter will make trips regularly
every hour. The cars are the same length
and patterned after the Chicago and New
York elevated-railway cars, the seats run
ming across instead of lengthwise. They
are vestibuled with doors coming out flush
with the side of the cars. They are uphol-
stored, have baggage and express depart
ments and are heated. Two are on the line
now, but when the line is through to Ma
rion this number will be doubled and the
trips made every hour. There now re-
mains no doubt among people in this city
that the Henry and Clodfelter lines will be
consolidated and only one line operated
President Matter of the Henry line, has
said as much. The line to Muncie will also
be pushed through early in the spring. Con-
gressman Henry left for Washington to-
dav. after seeing the regular service on the
new railway properly inaugurated.
