EDUCATION AND MORALS.

Marion Crawford does not believe
that the education Of this advanced
century has had the effect Of elevating
the moral standard Of man. In this he
takes issue with the many who see In
increased knowledge the salvation OF
the race, The novelist finds that some
OF the most honest. moral. trustworthy
and industrious people are found among
those who can neither read nor write.
On the other hand he finds that the
pursuit OF knowledge Is often merely
for the material advancement 1t gives.
Refinement is not sought Teaching
has TOO often been an aid 20 naturally
evil propensities. giving them an oppor-
tunlty for development they would
otherwise not have had.
The view is certainly well taken.
Some Of the most notorious criminals
have been students" Of sciences, and
their knowledge has put them in POSI-
tion to carry out ingenious plans, no
ignorant criminals would have thought
OF.
Morality is not matter OF knowl-
edge. A human being may be able 20
read the mysteries Of nature in the
heavens above and the earth below; he
may have mastered the facts Of history
and the theories Of philosophers from
the beginning, and yet have no love at
heart for truth and justice. Even the
mere study Of theology brings with II
no power to DO that which is good. The
fact is that In most instances Il Is not on
account Of ignorance OF that which is
right that people 90 wrong. but on ae-
count Of a failure 70 live I'D to the
knowledge OF right and wrong already
obtained.
Morality Is IN the last instance a
matter Of training Of the heart" u

opment When both are In harmony

A PRESENT DUTY.

For the benefit Of the public health It
Is advisable that there should be a
general cleaning up Of premises and
their surroundings In this city before
the sun increases in power so as to
warm into life those destroying but un-
seen and inhnlteslmal agents OF disease
that lurk in filth and propagate 80 mar
velously. Yards, barns. corrals, and
outhouses should be cleansed and ref
use matter removed as often as pos
sible. No waste material should be al
lowed to accumulate for any length Of
time.
This should be seen to by our citizens
on their own volitlon without waiting
to be notified by the sanitary officer.
Now that the air Is balmy and pleas
ant, houses should be thrown open TO
the influence Of the sun and the clear
atmosphere. and every nook and cor
ner where dirt or dust may have gath
cred should be cleaned out. Sunshine

than II can effect harm to carpets or
curtains OF furniture.
Trees ought to be trimmed and scraped
where necessary. and the excised
branches and bark removed and burned.
But the kind OF tree-slaughter in vogue
is not to be commended The poor
mutllated, skeleton-like stumps that are
left by some Of our tree-butchers are
offensive TO the eye. and we believe
deleterlous to the growth OF those orna-
ments TO our streets Rational trim
ming need not Involve such cutting
down as seems to be common among
the professional wielders OF the saw and
pruning knife. Why not trim a shade
tree on similar principles TO pruning
and cutting a fruit tree2 We believe
more people wonld engage the services
Of workmen for this purpose. II they
would be moderate In the use OF their
tools. Temperance Is good in pruning
and cutting as well as In other things.

varlola, or smallpox. This Is common,
as appears in every report Of that kind
which is regularly made TO the govern
ment The query that arises when
these reports appear in print Is. II vac
cinatlon is a preventive Of smallpox as
claimed, or even a palliative. how is Il
that soldiers who have been yacclnaied
and re-vacoinated and some re-re-vac-
clnated. Die OF the disease? That Is
nut for some physicians TO crack but
we fear the kernel win not be found TO
afford much pleasure or satisfaction
It is gratifying to know that the dis
order which has been quite prevalent In
several parts Of this State has not
proved fatal in any Instance. so far az
proof has been afforded. Il Is true that
a report came Of death Of sheep
herder at a far distant camp. where his
body and his clothing were buried, but
the evidence Of the cause Of his decease
is not sufficient to establish the con-
clusion arrived az as being absolutely
correct. However, even admitting that
10 be an Instance Of death from small
pox. the immunity from fatal consc-
quenoes in the State from the disorder
which has been contagious, Is certainly
remarkable when viewed In the light OF
experiences In Manila.
II Is 10 be hoped that as the warm
weather approaches, all signs Of the
malady complained OF, whatever It may
be. viii soon disappear and that there
will be nothing to hinder the progress
Of education in the public schools or Of
public gatherings Of any Kind. whether
religious, social, political or for amuse-
ment.

PROF. HYsLoP's IDEA.

Professor Hyslop. who thinks he can
demonstrate scientifically the existence
Of another world-a spirit" world
comes forward with the statement that
many people now confined In asyums
are not insane, but are simply favored
with visits from that other world.
II this is a sample OF his scientific"
arguments, the world at large will prob
ably think him more fit for an asylum,
himself, than for chair in an institute
OF learning.
sim, II Is a very ancient view Of in
sanity that the patients are pos
sessed." that their bodies are really the
tabernacle Of some spirit not originally
having a right to live there but having
usurped that right, and who can deny
that this Is not sometimes the case? OF
course, Insanity may be the result Of
some defect in the physical organs
through which mental and intellectual
activity takes place, but does that ex-
PLANTATION cover the entire ground? Is 1t
not possible that some cases Of aberra.
ton are due to influences beyond the
analysis Of natural scientists?

WARS EXPENSIVE.

Wars are an expensive luxury OF ma.
tons. Our own little affair with Spain
was commenced with an appropriation
Of $4,000. 900. and subsequently $500. OO0.-
900 was borrowed.
Great Brltaiu's war IN Africa IS cal
culated to cost this year $500 100000. To
raise this sum the government viii
adopt methods similar to those adopt
ed in this country. Two hundred and
fifteen million dollars win be borrowed
and then the revenues will be increased
by additional taxes on income, beer
tobacco, and brokers' contracts for the
sale OF produce. II Is hoped to raise
by this means somewhat over SCI, 000,-
900.
Great Britain's credit is such that the
country will have no difficulty In rails,
ing funds without resorting TO any
change in the principle Of taxation. But
when the enormous cost OF wars IL
considered, together with the fact that
even the wealthiest nations must in.
cur vast burdens OF debt In order to
carry their contests through, the ques-
ton necessarily arises whether it Is not
a tremendous folly to settle disputes
that way. How much easier, how much
less expensive, how much more in &c,
cordance with the light now enjoyed
by the human beings Of average intelll-
gence, to submit the differences that
cause war to the arbitration Of reason
instead OF gunpowderl Surely, not
withstanding the spirit that seems to
prevail at present, the time cannot be
far distant when nations will cease
studying the arts Of war and cultivate
instead the pursuits OF peace.

NO MOBOCRACY.

An account appeared in the papers a
day or two ago OF acts Of violence on
the part Of some young men. in a dis
tsnt settlement In this State. They
had become lncensed against a person
who had spoken evil concerning young
lady and they took the matter Of pun
lshlng this alleged lnfractlon Of the
rules OF right into their own hands. and
administered a severe castigation TO the
offender. The report called them
'WhItecappers.
We do not pretend TO sit In judgment
on the charge against the accused in
diyIdual. He may have been guilty OF
the wrong and even of something
worse; but that Is no excuse for the
lawlessness OF his assailants. There Is
a legal remedy in this State for every
unlawful act committed within It's Dor
ders; therefore no good reason can be
offered for mobocracy That Is one
Of the evils OF the times that every
good citizen should protest against and

South, is only another name for mob

which every just and law-abiding per.

We hope the facts In the case tc
which we refer will be fully brought tc
light, and that the perpetrators OF this
wrong will be made amenable to a
proper court. We have no apology e
make for slanderer, or even for one
who truthfully besmears the good name
OF one OF the fair sex; but there ar,
lawful means by which such a case car
be reached, ana mob law must not b.

THE SCHOOLS AND THE MALaDY

The report Of Superintendent Cooper.
on the attendance at the public schools
OF this city for the fifth school month.
ending February 2nd, shows TO some
extent the state Of public feeling in re-
gard to enforced vaccination.
1t will be remembered that the schools
were closed against all unvaccinated
children for time, so that the COM
puisory attempt Of the board Of health

pllsh It's purpose, The majority OF the
board OF education endeayored to carry

evidence Of recent successful vaccina-
tion"
As a consequence. according 10 the
report OF the superintendent, the total
attendance during the days the schools
were thus open to yaccinated children.
only reached 1910. This was FAR be-
low one-third OF the number Of child
rem Of school age in the city, lO5l3 Of
whom attended school during the pre-
cellng month.
Among those who attended were a
large number Of children whose parents
were opposed TO compulsory vaccina-
ton, and a considerable proportion Of
them opposed to vaccination on pnnci-
pie. But their anxiety to have their
children educated, and the fear that
they would be entirely excluded unless
they confonned TO the arbitrary dietum
Of the board, induced them to submit,
