CITIZENSHIP MIST UNITE

The Republic invites COOL citizens To consider DIS

that matter. the closely related influence Of the lobby

a clsptrap issue has been made Of the elections
law. Yet The plain facts which came to light last week

rrs- demonstrqte concIusively that the election law Is
NOT Al fault. The evil lies with the gangs. which.
through gang committeeman. impose gang judges anil
clerks on the Election Commissioners
The gangs wish nothing better than a battle over
the election law. under cover OF which their OVID
operations are defended and explained away.
While battles over false issues are going on. lie

Ganssters have no real politics. Party organization

good citizens allow party superstition to make mere

Gangsters pick their ~favorites on both tickets. Good
citizens must learn. when party organization is pros

Party organization is one Of the no>t valuable in

sulk OF scratch Tor small diSSatisfactionS. No ticket
can be ideal. No one man can. in all respects. place
just what he personally wants on Z ticket.
That is not the question before the people. The
gangs have grown so strong and impudent that mu-
nicipal legislation has become corrupt and the c1imiaal
courts are being aSSailed. not without success in one
court at least. by the same influences.
In city and in State the gang candidates who are

Newspapers are partly At fault for The success Of
tie gangs. They are too fond OF being political dxers
themselves. Thus they get tied up in the same bundle
with The gangSterS. When a newspaper puts itself N
such = position it Is not a party organ'in any honor

not worth attention in 4 political campaign.

WORLDS so4-FAIR.
EnrCATToN.S MACHINERY.

SAIl ;. MAGhlNEh1-
President Eliot Of Harvard has uttered a thought
schools 1t may prove useful. But it contains precioIs
little OF truth.
Doctor Eliot says that the common schools are
practically a failure because they have not cured the
vices of drunkenness anu disorder.
This is unfair. Like some other educators. Doctor
Eliot assumes that children are a quantity Of known
texture and dimensions which can he manufactured
into 4 commodity of given standard IL enough money
is spent on the machinery.
All that the machinery Of education. If it were per
feet, could do would he 10 establish certain habits Of
mental labor and 10 e~nlighten the growing mind with
n comparatively small proportion OF human knowl-
edge
But see what tine common schools have actually
done. As compared with the colleges they are far
more advanced in method. in subjects of study and
in both amount and quality OF results.
Take President Eliot'S date Of fifty years ago as ;he
period of comparison. The colleges have changed
scarcely at all in method and not a great deal in the
subjects Of study. Public schools make changes ard
advances without any fuss" which would be noisily
discussed as startling revolutions II taken up 10y coz
leEeS
College educators talk 4 great deal abOut perfectly
equipped men," There is no such Thing. But. taking
equipment as we fnd Il. the public schools beat ;he
colleges in the equipment they give. The colleges have
the advantage Of a later period in the youths life.
when the mere natural process of growth has done
much and when the work of the public schools is
placed at the disposal Of the colleges. Yet IL the com
parison is followed ont carefully the common schools
viii better stand the test Of relative equipment fur
nished.
Education In schools will not eradicate vice. Any
more than a severe discipline in the arts and manners
eradIcated vice from the courts OF Louis the Four
teenth and Louis the Fifteenth. Vice and virtue, be
long 10 social conditions and to the. inbred character
Of a races generations.
American public schools and endowed colleges have
done great worE-the former the better. Neither is
responsible for vice: though the admitted improve
ment of moral conditions may be partly due to both.
