When is a Man Wises

What age brings with it of wis
dom on the one hand or irrespon-
sibility on the other depends
largely on the point of view. The
recent unfortunate slip of Gen
eral Bragg's pen regarding the
Cubans was under discussion the
other day, in the presence of
your correspondent, between
two men, both of whom had
seen, in their time, Il good deal of
public life, says the Washington
correspondence of the New York
Evening Post.

marked one of them, but he is
far too old to be placed in posi-
ton of the delicacy of that of

Il am not so sure of that, -
answered the other. Il was
once, as yOungster, with Pres
ident Lincoln and Secretary
Seward when the latter was
urging that a certain diplomatic
mission requiring the ripest and
soundest Judgment should be
given to a certain man he had Sc
lected. Mr.. Lincoln inquired
how old the candidate was, and
was told that he was past middle
life. The president shook his
head.
He won't do,' said he; he's
too old for such a post. I should
be too old for it; you would be toe
old for it, Seward.

is just the other way. am not

In a Dead Boom Town

New York Evening Sun.
An interesting little exhi bition
of the initiative instinct was
given by two children playing in
the dust before their home.
This home, located in dead
boom town." had been originally
built for the land agents office.
Now it's roof was sagging and
it's windows were mended by
wads of paper. Yet it's shabby
doorway was appro ached by a
fine concrete sidewalk, and along
the stubbly, weedy fields
adjacent stretched the same
imposing path. The untraveled
road, too, was bordered by a
neat curbing, and while the
procession of telegraph poles
tried to give an arboreal effect to
the ''avenue.' We felt the
melancholy of this village
deserted without ever having
been occupied-settling upon US :;
and hoping to gather some cheer
from the children's game, we
stopped to watch them. We
found them 'playing village"
Marked out by fiat stones, here
were the interminable sidewalks :;
Indicated by dead twigs, the
withered sapling; initiated with
bits of shingle, the billboards
that were the sole editices on
the lots. They had made a
dead boom town. in miniature.
In response to our ordinations
of dismay, the children regarded
US with lackluster eyes, and, as
if we had strayed within the
confines of some haunted land,
we fed the place.

A painful rumOr from Wash
ington has it that the Repu blican
campaign book is 'out of print. :"
says the New York Evening Post.
This is the diplomatic phrase
for saying that it has been
called in and suppressed, a veto
having been placed upon it, in
it's present form, by none other
than Mr.. Roosevelt. He is said
to have been Disguised to find
that the makers of this party
textbook had wholly lodged the
Cuban issue, and had lisped not
a syllable about reciprocity,
besides being guilty of other
sins Of omission upon which
the Democratic congressional
committee was eagerly bouncing.
So he had the work hauled up
for extensive repairs. Such a
thing it is to have a literary
president, with a sense of style!
Probably Chairman Babcock and
his associates were never before
so vigorously blue-penciled.
They should have remember
Disraell's saying that "a literary
man who is a man of action is
two edged weapon" But they
are lucky to have got off so
easily-with only one edge of
the weapon turned upon them
in the shape of a demand for
revision merely. What their
rubbish and useless compilation
really deserves is a ruthless
cutting down entirely, as some
thing that only wastes money
and cumbreth the ground.

The Big Ship.

Philadelphia Bulletin.
How big is the biggest At
lantic steamship of the future to
be: This question naturally
arises in connection with the
launching of that New German
marine giant the Kaiser Wilhelm
de Zweite. Accommodations for
$500 persons a number equal to
the population of many thriving
American rural towns, are to be
furnished on this craft, and her
total length is 7O7 feet. In
other words, it is more than an
eighth of a mile from the bow to
the stern Of this modern NAM
moth, and her builders hope that
the engines of $4,000 horse
power with which she is
equipped will give her a sus-
tanned speed of at least twenty
four knots an hour. It might
seem that such a specimen of
marine architecture was I'M
surpassable in her own class.
Yet past experience justifies
the prediction that her dimen-
sions may be materially ex-
ceeded a decade or so hence.

The Negro In Massachu-
sets.
Daily States.
When the allied forces were
making war against China there
was great deal of talk about the
yellow peril" but at the pres
ent time it appears that the City
of Boston is having considerable
trouble with what the Boston
Globe terms the "black terror. !"
In the last four weeks no less
than half dozen attempts at as
SaultS on white girls have been
made by negroes in parts of the
city where there is not much
travel after nightfall. These as
saults have become so frequent
and so bold that women are
afraid to venture out without es-
corts. In commenting on these
Outrages, the Boston Globe says:
Assaults on girls by colOred
men have become so frequent
during the past week or two that
in some sections of the city the
women are in state of terror,
and the police of some of the di-
visions are in a condition of fran
tic activity.
In Cambridge, in the south
end, and in the Franklin Park
district the black terror, as the
colored assailant has come to be
Of
panic among women who have
The chief scene of activity last
evening was in the Franklin Park
district, where two girls We're
attacked
In one case where an arrest
was made an effort was made by
a crowd of enraged people to
hang the culprit to a lamp post,
but cooler counsel prevailed and
the black brute was locked up.
In another case the Boston
Post tells how the criminal was
punished, as follows:
Yesterday he was arraigned
on two charges of assault and in
toxicatiOn. On the former charge
he was sent to the House of Cor
rectiOn for two, months and on
the latter charge was convicted,
but the case was placed on file. -
It is entirely reasonable to as
sumo that when this negro gets
ing in the House of Correction
he will be in excellent trim for
more devilment of the same
kind.
Boston is coming in closer con-
tact with the brother in black, -
and is getting better acquainted
with him, and this in time will
the "brothers. In recent years
a great many negroes have left
the South and settled in Boston,
and the people of that city are
sure to get a good dose of the
''black terror because they do
not know how to deal with it as
the Southern people do, but they
will soon learn. A few months
ago the Governor of Massachu
sets refused to honor the re-
QUESTION of the Governor of
North Carolina for negro fugi-
tive charged with the crime of
arson and murder unless a
pledge was given that no violence
would be done the prisoner.
This action will encourage negro
criminals in the South to seek
refuge in Massachusetts,, and
then the "black terror will be
more in evidence than it is now,
although at the present time
Boston has more than enough of
it.

Why Not Consolidate

Southern Education Notes.
The Warwick district, in Mas

Gle on school consolidation in the
Forum for March. is seven miles
long by four or five miles wide
considerable area to be served
by one school. Yet Its 1902 pu-
pills from all points now attend"
says the Forum, "a graded
school in a neat well-appointed
house at the center, the children
being conveyed at public ex-
pense. In six years the town
has heightened it's school year
so per cent: has increased the
teachers salaries IS per cent. ;
has employed special teachers of
drawing and music; has i'm
proved the quality of instruction,
and has reduced the cost of the
whole.' One result of the sys-
tenn is to create flow of immi-

farms. Abandoned farms are
again in demand and the taxable
basis is improved.
In Iowa also the consolidation
of schools has been tried with
success. The experiment has
been tried,' says Governor Shaw
in recent message, of main
tanning a central township graded
school, to and from which the
pupils are conveyed in carriages
at public expense. Wherever
this plan has been adopted the
results have been most satisfac-
tory. The enrolment has been
thereby invariably increased,
and the attendance has been
more regular: better teachers
have been employed, with the
cOrrespondingly improved schol-
arship; and in addition the ex-
penses have been very consider
ably reduced. 1t is probable that
no more single-room subdistrict
school houses should be per-
mitted."

Education and Training.

Southern Educatiun Notes.
A human being wants a whole
development-edu of him
self, says the Biblical Recorder.
In school he hopes to gain the
essential basis for and an impetus
toward this whole development.
But he also wants particular
development. One may prefer
to teach or preach or sing or
practice law or practice medi-
cine or keep books or be Il
mechanic or conduct factory.
And he expects various schools
to prepare him accordingly.
Now this specialization is very
well. But one must not neglect
the general development for the
special development. If he mis-
takes the development of his
talents for the practice of medi-
cine for education, he will lack
just that of becoming the man
he might become If he fancies
that special preparation for the
ministry will stand him instead
of general preparation to live his
life to the fullest. he will fail OF
his life and of his calling. In a
word, there is no price so dear
as that which one pays when he
sacrifices education for mere
training-them man for the talent.

LOOKING AFTER HIS FENCES,

LOOKING AFTER HIS FENCES,
Having failed to secure the services of
some politician capable Of influencing the
naming Of the delegation from his state
in the next national Republican conven-
ton, President Roosevelt has done the
next best thing politically for himself by
selecting a well known and popular news
paper correspondent to act as first as
sistant postmaster general.
Those who believed when the president
assumed his present Office that he was
likely to indulge himself in such conduct
as would render impossible his selection
himself are now no doubt convinced Of
their slight knowledge of the gentleman
with whom they dealt
Theodore Roosevelt is a strenuous pol
itician; and in no direction is he more
strenuous than in the one of looking after
his own political interests. When Messrs.
Plat, Hanna and Quay and the other
machine leaders of the party united in
tire last convention in shelving Roose-
yelt by forcing on him the vice presi-
Dental nomination, they counted with
out their host. Their action was then
controlled solely by a desire to put him
out Of the way Of the presidential sue
cession. No better or safer way could
have suggested itself to skilled and sclen-
tific men like them than that they pur-
sued. They were successful in their
purpose; and they were also successful,
as events have proven, for Mr. Roose-
velts ultimate purpose. They rendered
his nomination as president as nearly I'M
avoidable as it was possible to make it.
President Roosevelt has ably supple
mented the work of these great men. His
action in the appointment of the post
master general and of his first assistant,
and his selection of a secretary of the
treasury, are straws which Indicate in
what directions the wind of presidential
favor is blowing and wherefore it blows
in those directions.
1t is a comparatively long time from
now till the election of presidential dele
gates. The militant reformer now in the
presidential chair will evidently not let
the grass Of inaction grow beneath his
feet in the interval
