lodges. Being Jared, they are very
sorry or very scared. They regret,
they say. the result Of their own rot,
as truly and as profoundly as if they
had never issued it.
They regret the result-of course.
At least. they say they do. They have
not said they regret or retract or re-
can't or renounce or repudiate the
stuff which was the cause in part of
that result.
Till they do, folks will keep on
thinking When they do, folks will
make a note of it.
Leaving them to their own memo
ries and in the embarrassments of
their own making, the duty of all the
people is plain. 1t is to require that
the rot which in part at least wrought
this result shall cease in journalism,
in "oratory" and in the pulpiu-for
even the pulpit TO a degree is respons-
IDLE for it. The future must be made
better than the past. Then the past
may be forgotten and forgiven, but
not otherwise. There is no necessity
for denunciation. The people are
taking care of the case. There is just
need for Improvement. Cease to do
evil. Learn to do well.
Nor need there be very much trouble
about anarchy. What anarchy has
fed on is mainly responsible for an
archy. Anarchy would have starved
to death long ago, but for what it fed
on.
1t feed on BLACKBOARD Journalism,
blackguard cartoons, BLACKBOARD
speeches and demagogic platforms
and nominations. 1t feed on appeals
to class hates, to sectional savagery
and to the poor against the rich, to
the idle against the diIigent, to the
incapable against the capable. That
and worse was what it fed on. Take
away the fodder, froth, filth and fren-
zy and anarchy would soon starve to
death.
A hue and cry against anarchy will
do no harm. A man hunt against it
will do no harm. An international
policy against it will do no harm.
But there is something else will do
more good. Doom anarchy to moral
and mental starvation. Deprive it of
it's food in journalism and politics.
Show it that there is no journalism
and there is no politics that will fool,
feed, foster or warm it any more.
That done, the loud hue and cry and
the merry man hunt can go on, too,
but the monster will die, If those who
have been feeding him cut off his sup
plies or their supplies to him. They
could not have meant the consequence
es they have brought about. But the
consequences are plain and the neces-
sity of shutting them off, by ceasing
from the plying of the causes, is plain.

The SOUTH SIDE RAILWAY CON-
PANY.

The present management of the city
Hallway Company--the South Side
traction company--is deserving OF
great praise for It's disposition to oblige
its patrons and TO minimize rs much rs
possible their discomfOrts. Within the
past year the transportation facilities
on its lines have been largely increas-
ed, and except In the very height of the
rush hours, when everybody wants to
travel at the same time, passengers
can ordinarily have seats.
This disposition on the part OF the
company will undoubtedly have Its
effect when the question comes up
about franchise extension, for the peo-
pie can place some confidence In the
promises OF company whose perform
ances have been so good.
President Hamilton, in view of such
extension. Is now outlining plan for
the expenditure Of some S9,OOO,OOO on
improvements and betterments In the
near future. \ substantially new
plant will be constructed and the road
furnished with a new equipment which
will vastly increase the ability of the
company TO satisfy the patrons of It's
various lines. An underground trolley
system Is proposed for the downtown
district, with overhead trolleys in the
outlying districts.
or course, the cable system is effet'
and inadequate TO the wants of The
people. II must be replaced by cleo
triclty, and the only question is AS Il
the form. The people will insist OF
underground trollcys, or storage-bat
terry cars, wherever they are essential
and that they are essential in Tho
crowded business thoroughfares no
body can deny,
II the company will accede TO The
wishes Of the people in this respect
there l. little doubt that the people will
aCcede 10 the wishes of.the company II
others. All that citizens want is 10 b,
met in a spirit of fairness and equity
and the company has already shown {
commendable degree of that spirit.

The presence of hundreds OF young
sters of all ages wearing glasses In our
public school should have admonlshed
the school authorities long ago that
present school methods or practices are
largely responsible for the impairment
of the eyeslght of children. In many in
stances 1t IL noted that before child
has passed through the primary grades
1t is found necessary to embellish Its
face with pair of spectacles. While
the present tendency to cover with
glasses the face of childhood may be
partly ascribed to the modern industry
and persistence Of eye specialists, 1t IL
nevertheless n fact that In the large
percentage of cases there Is positive i'm.
pairmcnt of vision and the glasses are
Indispensable to study and to good
health. There is no longer any dispose
ton to challenge the statement that
visual defects have Il positive and direct
effect upon the nervous organization,
interfering with digestion or heart ac-
ton or causing headaches ana mental
depression. An investigation of the eye
sight, or visual acuity, of children In
the public schools of one city, has re-
suited recently In some important dis.
closures, among them being the fact
that 80 per cent of the boys thus far eX.
amined have less than twO-thirds of
the normal keenness of sight, while 81
per cent of the girls fall below two
thirds of normal. 1t Is also ascertained
| al 10 ti,lt ,f q.
increase eye defects One-thlrd. The
marked increase in the visual defects
| In the first three years of school life Is
| attributed to the greater concentration
of the powers Of vision In the effort to
learn to read. In older persons, where a
cursory glance at n few letters In a line
of reading reveals the meaning, the eff.
fort TO read Is not attended with much
eye strain, provided the type Is Of good
! size. In children however, the eye must
take in the form of every letter in every
word. Increased eye defects In the
lower grades are also due to the fact
that the primary rooms are invariably
the poorest lighted. When 1t Is known
that eye strain has deleterlOus effect
upon the general health and that eye
defects are uniformly accompanied by
decline In mental power, amounting In
many instances to dizziness, it is easy
to Justify every movement on the part
of the board, no matter what the eX-
pense, to remedy these defects and to
remove as far ms possible the causes of
visual impairment among school chill
drcn. The rooms should be better light,
ed and no text books should be allowed
in the schools that are not printed in
large type.
