AN EARLY CAUCUS

1t is understood that there will be eau
Gus of republican members of the legisla-
ture to settle the reelection OF Senator
Nelson next Monday night.
Why not at the same time caucus upon
the successor to Senator Davis? Nothing
but damage to the republican party can be
expected to result from postponement Of
the caucus on the junior senatorship.
There are three candidates in the field
The merits of the three are well under
stood. No others seem likely to enter
and the early determination of this ques
tion would leave the legislature free to get
down to the regular business of the session
as soon as 1t meets.
OF course an early caucus may be in the
interest of Mr.. Evans, because he is in the
lead, but he has not gained this lead Sc
cretly, or without full knowledge of the
party throughout the state. Everything
has been open and above board, and what
ever advantage he possesses at the present
time as a candidate he is fairly entitled
to.
The argument in favor Of an early eau
Gus is the disposal of this senatorial ques-
ton before 1t becomes entangled with
other issues, and before conditions arise
which might cause it to be settled upon
other grounds than the merits of the can
didates.
We all know, too, what prolonged SEN
atorial contest means in Its effects upon
the work Of the legislature. The repub-
lican party cannot afford to indulge In any
such controversy at this time. 1t has
history to make which will be important
to it's future. A short session, devoted
strictly to business, with a reference Of all
taxation matters to a commission to be
created by the legislature, would be most
valuable outcome.

The NEW YEAR COMMERCIALLY

The Journal takes pleasure to-
day in constituting itself the agency
through which it's regular advertisers
are afforded an opportunity to extend the
greetings Of the season to the public.
The year just ended has been one of un-
precedented business prosperity. The
customer has been liberal in his patron
age. and the man who has things to sell
has presented them in larger quantity,
finer quality and greater variety than ever
before. In the line of retail trade, par
ticularly, Minneapolis has attractions to
offer and opportunities to present not to
be matched in many cities of this size.
While noted as a manufacturing center,
and occupying a commanding position in
the wholesale trade Of the northwest, Min
neapolis Is none the less successful in
the field Of the retailer as the appearance
of the stores, particularly during the sea-
son of the holiday trade, has indicated.
Not only has there been large trade with
the people Of the city, but purchasers from
all over the northwest have contributed
immensely to the volume of trade.
1t is a very formidable array which ap-
pears in the pages of T b e Journal
to-day, as the Journal advertisers
send greetings to their customers every
where; but these are generous con-
tributors to the columns of T h o ur-
and help to make 1t interesting to
the general public. For while news is
the first essential among the attractions Of
a newspaper. and while the reading pub
lie will always discriminate in favor Of
that paper which serves them best in that
particular it is, nevertheless, true that
the newspaper acquires a value with the
general public On account of its advertis-
ing patronage. Business men have stories
to tell, information to convey, suggestions
to make which are invaluable to the
prudent investor in any line, and a medi-
um through which the business man can
best convey this information is through
the daily newspaper of extensive circula-
tion among all the people. That h e
Journal has been able to render this
service to the business men in a more
profitable way than they have been able
to obtain 1t anywhere else, is proven by
the fact that they have given to it their
advertising support in more generous
measure during the past year than has
been accorded any other paper in this
city. The opening of the new year and
the new century is propitious CONNER
cially and in the domain of trade there is
every prospect for prosperous and sue
cessful new year.

THE SONG FOR THE HEART

The housewife bent above her task;
Her face was pale that had once been
bright;
She bore the burden of fruitless years
With patience as best she might,
And all day long
She sang this song:
Lead Kindly Light
Her voice was cracked and her tones we're
poor;
She got scarce half of her measures right;
Her thin lips trembled; her eyes looked far.
AS if they would pierce the night;
But all day long
She crooned her song:
Lead, Kindly Light
She toiled in the kitchen; she scrubbed and
swept;
She struggled with dirt and hunger and
blight,
For many there were to prompt her hands
In her slenderest oversight.
So all day long
She needed her song:
Lead, Kindly Light"
She was too old for hope to lure,
Too feeble now for the outward fight;
And only within she fought all day
To keep her tired soul white;
And all day long
She hummed her song:
Lead, Kindly Light"
Arthur Upson.

The TRUE EDuCATInN

In his address before the state educa-
tional association a few days ago, Pro-
fessor Bliss OF Waseca very effectively
assailed some of the weak points in cur
rent educational processes and tendencies.
He showed that the prevailing notion that
a curriculum was not a curriculum at
all unless it embraced all known sciences
science, the same to be crammed down
into the distended cells of the cerebrums
Of children and youth, is fundamentally
wrong. He admitted that there are germs
of truth in many Of the educational fads,
but he held that "they hold out false
work and the drudgery necessary in ac-
quiring the elements of any subject" He
insisted that the true object OF education
is training, and teachers who are ex-
pert trainers are needed more than any
thing else; trainers who can inspire
others to work on themselves.
The professor is right Education, as
every teacher knows, means ''to draw
out" 1t is not cramming facts into the
minds of young persons as one would
naturally distend the liver to produce the
luxury pate du foie gras. The examining
process in modern education is as in
furious to human beings as it is to the
goose.
In his recent address before the Ameri-
no, n -
George J. Engelman showed from statis-
tics that the system of education in pub
lie and private schools tended to aggra-
vate the functional deterioration in the
health of the rising generation of Ameri-
can women. DR.. G. F. Shrady of the
Medical Record says that the influence of
modern education produces girls who are
bundles Of nerves encased in fragile
frames and that less brain work is essen
tial. The fact is, both sexes are put un-
der too much cramming during the period
of development. so much that the brain
cannot assimilate it.
There is a misconception as to the OBJ
5ect of education which works bad re-
suits. Utility studies, as Professor Bliss
says, should never displace culture studies
and the essential training ard discipline
The aim Of a real teacher should be to
draw out the latent intellectual power of
the pupil and show him how to use that
power for the attainment of knowledge
himself. Manifestly, the well-trained
mind possesses the strongest prehensile
potentiality and is the best equipped in
tellectually to explore the fields of knowl-
edge. The training Of youth should also
have the objective Of making good citi-
ems. to reinforce the element striving for
good government and public order. The

crusade against the study of Latin and
Greek is a crusade against beneficial dis
cipltnary studies. 1t is not true that 1t
is easy to find better disciplinary studies
than these. Not only that, but they enter
conspicuously into the process OF cul-
ture- The important fact. however, which
should always be borne in mind, and
which seems to be largely forgotten to-
Gay, is that leading object of our pub
lie school system, If not the leading OBJ
ject, is to train children to be good citi-
zens. The history of our country and in
struction as to the form OF civil govern
ment should not be crowded to minimiza-
tion by the obtrusion of more abstruse
studies which would properly belong to
the college or university course The
training of the youthful mind to habits
or thought, reflection, investigation, self
help. generates capacity in the student
IN the secondary or higher education to
lay hold OF and readily and intelligently
appropriate all essential knowledge That
is the only kind of education which has
any value in these notable days when
many run to and fro and knowledge is
increased" as predicted by Daniel about
twenty-five centuries ago.

His prescience as to Great Britain was re-
markable, and although he says nothing
about our own part Of the world, he pre-
diets that the colonies would have to be
kept in q dependent condition to retain
them!
Then, we are certain of progress! Will
it always be progress in the right direc-
ton? Are we still going on wearing the
standard garb of men and women, or. as
woman's garb in the late century became
singularly like that of man. all except the
regular breeches, shall the fair sex aban-
don skirts also and continue the depreda-
tions upon mans modest costume? II
this process goes on the time will come
when the sexes may only be distinguisha-
BILE by experts. But really there need be
no apprehension lest the movement OF
women upon the employments OF men, so
successful in the century just closed, will.
as some predict, continue until men shall
be utterly ousted from commercial en-
ployment In all its phases.
There will be a reaction. Thousands Of
women will get. tired of the exacting
grind of the thing. They will find more
congenial work than hammering type
writer's, keeping books and stenographi-
cally waiting upon relentless. debating
men. Woman shall not sink deeper in
drudgery in the quickening life of the
twentieth century, shall she? Place and
keep her in the galleys and men lose one
Of the sweetest and most inspiring Of the
uplifting agencies and influences Of the

China has played a pretty strong card
in demanding as a condition Of her ac-
ceptance Of the terms Of the powers that
they give her assurance that there will be
no despoiling of her territory. The terms
which the powers have submitted are hard,
but they will be easy If China can secure
the pledge demanded. This pledge made
in concert would have more than ordinary
significance and force. There would be an
implied obligation upon the part Of every
power to see that it was observed by ev-
cry other. This is the most important de-
velopment, the most beneficial to China,
which could come out Of the present nego-
tiations. and Chinese shrewdness has not
failed to secure from the hard conditions
imposed result of the highest value. for
it is almost certain that the powers must
grant this reasonable concession.

NEW YEARS MORNING

Only night from old to new,
Only night and so much wrought
The Old Years heart ali weary grew.
But said: The New Year rest has brought. :"
The Old Years heart its hopes laid down,
AS in grave: but, trusting. said:
The blossoms of the New Years crown
Bloom from the ashes of the dead"
Only a night from old to new.
Never night such changes brought
The Old Year had it's work to do;
No New Year miracles are wrought
Always a night from old to newl
Night and the healing balm of sleep
Each morn is New Years morn come true,
Morn of a festival to keep.
All nights are sacred nights to make
Confession and resolve and prayer;
All days are sacred days to wake
New gladness in the sunny air
Only night from old to new;
Only sleep from night to morn
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees a new year born.

General Wilson, senator from Hennepin
county, advocates a state constitutional
convention. The proposition is timely, and
we hope that he may secure favorable ac-
tion upon it by the legislature. Numerous
defects OF the constitution as it stands to-
day produce embarrassment, and under
the recent amendment requiring MAORI
ty of all the votes cast at an election for
the adoption OF any amendment, it has be-
come practically impossible to make any
changes in the present instrument. The
only remedy is revision OF the whole.

WHAT SHALL IT Be?

The daily and periodical press has
teemed with brilliant representations for
some time as to the social, economic.
literary, scientific, philanthropic and other
conditions of the human race to be
evolved during the new centurys fight
of years.
Generally the note is exultantly optimis-
tic. Yet minor chords of pessimistic
quality are heard from sources where
there is fixed belief that the human
race Is on the down grade of hopeless
decadence. But we take enough CT the
spirit Of the nineteenth century with us
into this new century to compel the be-
lief that, if the final dissolution of our
earth does not take place within the CEN
tury. as predicted by some. the progress
OF the nineteenth century will be pro-
jected with enormous increase of power in
the years to come.
Is it not possible to project the mind
into the future far away and to predict
with some degree OF certainty what
changes will be wrought in the constitu-
tion Of society, in governmental princi-
pies and in the nature of man himself, on
the basis Of present tendencies Of princi-
pies, which have been tested sufficiently
to prove their value? Burke took a pes
simistic view OF the French revolution and
called it "a wall daubed with untempered
mortar" but, however that may have
been, and however crude the conceptions
of liberty entertained by Danton, Marat
how
Gus outbreak sounded a trumpet call to
the oppressed of every nation to agitate
for human rights.
This was done all through the century
just closed and with surprising results,
of which the impairment of divine right
ism was not the least important. So the
late century was characterized by a tre-
mendous uplift OF humanity to better con-
ditions. Through the whole civilized
world. not even excepting Russia, human
society has been very greatly bettered
and stimulated to higher standards. The
twentieth century is certain to witness
the strong growth OF improved relations
OF employers and employed, the tendency
being strongly toward more intimate re-
4dtAOAS OL mubuaA interest and advantage
and the elimination of the strike and the
lockout, the boycott and the blacklist
We may not expect to remove the ne
cessity for work, for man is destined to
work by law which no human legisla-
ture can repeal. All the labor saving ma
chinery invented in the last century has
not relieved the race of daily toll. On the
contrary, the more Of such machinery we
have, the greater is the demand for labor
and opportunity Of labor. This demand
and opportunity will be greater in the
new century.
AS has been remarked, careful students
OF history and tendencies and the time
spirit are generally fair judges of what
such tendencies may lead to. There is a
curious book by DR.. Samuel Madden pub
lished in 1870, in which he records
Memoirs OF the Twentieth Century"
He predicted at that long ago date the
decadence of the Turkish empire and the
aggrandizement of Russia, although at
that time Europe trembled lest she would
be overrun and devastated by the Turks.
