A preacher, while. delivering 4 sermon
in a town in the State of Kentucky the
other day, surprised himself and his
hearers by raising rusty nail from
his throat. Little pain accompanied the
experience, says the exchange, although
a slight hemorrhage followed. The story
runs that when at the age of ten while
playing with some children, he swat
lowed a nail. Now, wouldn't it have
been a curious coincidence if he was
preaching about Jonah and the whale?-

Free School Books and Socialism


Editor of The Times:

such action is socialistic-

OF free schools maintained by compnl-

The Fight on Carter Glass.

NC A='2''t VI oSAi t'~' NA'Aoo'
The declaration Of war made by the
State Federation Of Labor in Virginia on
the candidacy Of Hon. Carter Glass for
Congress must impress the average OBJ
server as an unwise and dangerous mix
ing of politics with business. The effect
of such a warfare is to declare that the
wage-earners of Virginia are class sep
arate and apart from the rest Of the citi-
zens Of the State, and that they have in
terests personal and selfish to which the
interests of all tho rest Of the people
must be subordinated. Such a claim as
this is intolerable upon any theory of the
greatest good to the greatest number,
and If granted would logically lead to the
factions as there existed organized self
ish interests. This certainly degrades
politics to a very low level, and debascs
the elective franchise into a mere instru-
ment for avenging personal grievances
and promoting selfish interests. On a
higher plane Of politics, patriotism and
consideration for the public welfare 1n1-

PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND SOCIALISM

3 We print elsewhere communication
from a correspondent on Free School
Books and Socialism," in criticism Of
recent remark by us that the action of
the State Of Kansas in appropriating 81
poc. 600 for free school books was a long
step towards complete Socialism. our
correspondent does not understand how
-aa advocate of free schools maintained
by compulsory taxation, as The lines
IS. can consistently object to free school
books. because free school books follow
free schools as logically, and, therefore,
in time inevitably as, in arithmetic two
follows one. or as night follows day or
conversely
Tn conclusion, our correspondent asks
Tor a ..dIsouisition by The Times, show
ing that free schools are not Socialism.
81 If our correspondent has been close
reader Of The Times he has read many
an article in our columns III which the
Socialistic tendency of the public-schooi
system was pointed out and IN which the
people were warned against the danger
which lies in this direction. we adVo-
cate popuiar education, because there
Z As no other means by which many chill
8Ylren in the land can be educated, and IN
a. government like ours, where there IS
universal suffrage, there must be uni
yersal education. Indeed, there is Of
NECESSITY much in our government that
is Sociaiistic. Society itself IS Socialism
In q degree All forms of cooperation
are Socialistic. There is no such Thing
as complete independence except among
sax-ares. Much as we boast of our IN
8 .1enenae,.cc, as civilization progresses
Il there. Is more and moro OF interdepen-
dence.
But we believe that there is happy
medium. Because government and So
+ .,iety are socialistic in their tendency,
that Is no reason why we should force
thus tendency to an extreme. We be-
,ieye that the State may provide schools
far ,i,s. education OF the children OF the
ssta.c without assuming control Of these
c,,;i.rc:, in defiance of parental author

THE PRESIDENTS MISSIONARY
ADDRESS.

President Roosevelt made an address in
New York on Tuesday last before the
Presbyterian Board OF Home Missions.
in which he said that every earnest and
jealous believer. every man or woman who
is doer Of the word and not a hearer
only. is lifelong missionary In his or
her field of labor-a missionary by. pre-
than precept, by practice
Nature teaches the lesson OF missions
in al! her ways The growth OF the
tree. for example. is in the branches. IN
the tenderest shoots. It Is through this
process that the tree brings up from the
earth tho Juices which give It life, and
therefore through this process Of devel-
ppment at the extremes that the tree
grows In body and limb and f1ourishes.
It is through the mtss1 onary work OF
the church that the church itself becomes
stronger. Find a church without mis-
sions without the true missionary spirit.
and you are sure to find a dead and nom
progressive church. Find a church that
is alive with the missionary spirit, that
Is extending its work In various sdirec-
lions, and you will find church that is.
strong in body as well as in spirit
In the early days of the Christian
Church it will be recalled that mission
Rries were sent from Jerusalem to An
tioch. where u f1ourishing missionary
church was established. In little
while thereafter there was a famine in
Judea and the church at Antioch sent
bountiful provisions back to the breth-
rem in Judea by the hand of Barnabas
and Paul.
But we had not set out to discuss
church matters, for that is a topic belong
ing more especially to our religious con-
temporaries We say that this same
missionary spirit should be in the heart
of every nation and should be its inspira-
ton. Time was when nations grew by
waEing wars Of conquest. But that is
not the process of growth in this ennght-
ened age. Nations now grow by extend
ins their sphere of influence through the
Spirit Of benevoence. 1t is the aim of
the United States Government to make
friends in all parts of the world and thus
to expand. ne have just succeeded in
establishing a new republic not far from
our coast We del4vcred the people of
Cuba from the hand of their oppressors;
we gave them their independence; we set
them up in a government of their own
and in SO doing we have made everlast-
ing friends of. them.
That is the true meaning of the Amer
lean idea, and that idea is spreading all
over the world, making friends for US
wherever it goes and making us greater
and more powerful as a nation
