There Is rejoicing everywhere over
the report that certain officials of the
Boer Republic have had a conference
with General Kitchener, for which
purpose a safe-c0nduct was accorded
them by the British commander The
circumstance Is significant in that it
indicates a possible. if not a prob

to the termination of the bitter
struggle which for two wears has
brought ruin to a vast fertile region

THE NATIONAL KINDERGARTEN
IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS

TOR the benefit Of little children an
X informal partnership has beer
l. created between the officials Of the
City OF Idaho Springs. Col. the
matchless mountain air Of the Rockies
and Miss Helen Gould. This triple ALI
ance has been formed for the purpose OF
carrying out plan for the construction
and maintenance OF a national kindergor-
ten, to which. in the summer time. there
will be sent the weaklings Of the cities
Of the West and East 1t is not the in
tention Of the promoters to create either
an indmary or a children's hospital at
Idaho Springs. The plan is 20 have a
sort Of sumner school. where more at
tentiOn would be paid TO physical culture
than 10 arithmetic, and where little puuy
children would imbibe health with every
breath Of the Colorado air.
The plan originated with Miss Ida
Northrop, who is Miss G0uld's cousin.
Miss Northrop has been an invalid for
many years and has Travelled nearly all
over the world in search Of climatic and
other conditions which " ould benefit her.
She made a visit to Idaho Springs two
years ago, says the Brooklyn Eagle. %
more from curiosity than from any ex-
pectation OF receiving benefit from the
climate, for she had been in Colorado
before. At the end Of a month Miss
Northrop began 70 believe that there must
be some mysterious property In the air
Of Idaho Springs, for her health had i'm
proved amazingly. In fact when she re-
turned to the East at the beginning Of
the winter she was almost restored TO
health.
No one was more astonished by the i'm
provement III Miss NOrthrops health than
Miss Helen Gould, her cousin. The former
invalid spoke enthusiastically about tie

bankruptcy. In fact, that is what bank
ruptcy law is for-to exonerate bank
rupts who comply with It.
Take a practical illustration. A man
goes into business; he buys a lot OF
cloth from a firm and has the goods
made up into suits Of clothes He opens
his store and exhibits his wares. He IS
unknown; he has no established trade. no
customers. He cannot sell anything He
marks the price down. and down. and at
last is compelled to sell at considerable
loss. He cannot realize enough on his
eatire stock to meet the demands OF his
creditors He fails. In a bankruptcy
court he is honorably discharged. He
had no Sloney; he could not pay. but he
still is an honorable man. granting. Of
course that he entered into the trans
action in good faith. Some money was
I lost by his creditors. but with them il
was as with the man who failed, purely
a business venture. They took the re-
sponsibility Of bestoying credit. He
took the responsibility Of proving himself
worthy OF It. He could not make good
but he stil is honorable.
Of course, there are plenty Of instances
where fraud is practiced and where
money is made by failure in business.
but those are only exceptions, and have
no consideration in the argument. The
question in itself permits OF much dis
cussion and has many phases. but in the
end it viii be seen that that which was
devised for the sake OF order and Justice
is perfectly right, and that a bankruptcy

away with her stock of accurate statis-
tics and stack Of good photographs Of

the city.

Gould, as she looked at the photographs
Il should think that Idaho Springs would
be an ideal place for children during the
summer. They could get fresh air and an
education as well. If things were properly
managed"
That is just what I was going to ask
you about" said Miss Northrop. THE
place has done me so much good that
have felt it was almost my duty to share
it with other people. Children would
thrive there"
In the conversation which followed
many suggestions were made and several
plans were discussed. Miss Gould did
not at that time specifically pledge her
self TO become the financial or moral
sponsor Of the enterprise. but il is I'M
derstOod that she takes a deep and ac-
tive interest in the matter and has only
withheld her name for the time being.
because she believes that the officials of
Idaho Springs and the Western philan-
thropists who have become interested in
the plan are abundantly able 70 carry
the project TO a successful termination
without assistance from the outside.
The first result Of the discussion OF The
plans was seen the next year. when Miss
Northrop returned to Idaho Springs.
Without taking anyone into her conf
denee she bought fine piece of property
and arranged for the construction upon

IT IS Ike politics one man who Las

course, a morelist would lose no
time at all in digging up an answer. But

But II the question y to be put solely

And that answer is Yes" It might seem
from this that law and ethics are diamet-
rically opposed to each other. But such
is not the case, according 10 the Gedni-
tons Of the words. Primarily law is
just, and a thing cannot be just unless it
embodies moral principles and caters to
esthctics.
Ethics IS in it's nature passiye-a
theory, a formula. Law is both active
and passive formula, a command Law
then is al-ethics only a part Of it,
