Some say that the days of contentmcnt

When a boy takes his leave from the old
college door;
That the halo of glory surrounding him
then,
Drops off on the campus when he mingles
with men.
But show me the lad who contentcd will

You have but drone in the thriving bee

A burden to others, better dead than
'Tis notion quite wrong to live in the
past.
TO sigh for young days and grow old at
last;
For the years will roll on, regret though
you may,
Your footsteps get feeble. your hair will
grow gray.
While those who build castles in mere
idle dreams,
Will discover too late life is not what it
To thrive and grow rich, you must labor
today:
Tomorrow's uncertain, last years passed
away.
There are rocks to be hewn for the tenn
pie of famo.
And grubbing and digging If you seek
but II name:
The world hath no honor except for the
brave;
While the coward, neglected, slips down
to his grave.
Remember your sheepskins and books in
a row.
Are all well enough, If something you
know:
But if voted successful and wise and all
that.
1t must be from success, not the size of
your hat
No means of deception will ever last
long;
And the lad who adopts 1t is surely gone
wrong;
For the wisdom of ages stares him fun
in the face
lie will fall by the waysde and fail in
the race,
Alas, for the wrecks in professions and
trade.
Who flourish today and tomorrow they
fade:
Who builded perhaps, from the blood
in their veins.
Not honest endeavor, nor the weight of
their brains
The man who would thrive on what 9th,

Nor honor, nor riches in this fair world of
ours,

| these schools, Chtrchman pay propor-
| tionately for the support of board or
public schools which are more numer-
Gus, more expensive and on the whole
not more efficient in their administra-
| ton nor more progressive in their cur
riculum than their older competitors.
Until the Foster Education Act of 1870,
| practically the only primary public
| schools in England were those MAIN
tanned by the Anglican church: they
| received no state aid and relied wholly
| for their support on voluntary contri-
| buttons. That act one of the most
| beneiicent in the history of British leg
| islation transferred the responsibility
of educating the people from voluntary
effort to the state. 1t was accom-
plished on a broad and magnanmous
basis in its secular conception. 1t ex-
! cluded the teaching of religion. how
ever, in any form. except the reading
Of the Bible without gloss or comment.
From this fact the interminabe and
men ana -Conformists has con-
tinued during the last thirty years.
The difficulty lies far too deep for po-
litical remedy. 1t is primarily a re-
ligious question. or. rather, a denomi-
national one. The British Non-Con-
formists are opposed to a state church
on historical and conscientious grounds.
The dissenters constitute the great
bulk Of the Liberal party and while
that party Is not prepared to disestab-
ish and disendow the Church of Eng
land: while public sentiment is far from
ripe for radical dissolution of church
and state. the opposition. as custodian
of the "Non- Conformist conscience is
bitterly opposed to any further endow-
ment of the church schools.
Mr.. Chamberlain. who is himself a
leading Non-Conformist, in a speech
which he made some time ago. declared
that while he thought that the educa-
ton bill might be improved, the gov
ernnlent was prepared to stand or
fall by it. Mr.. Balfours declaration in
the house of commons that the bill
would not be withdrawn means that
majority in the house of commons is
eXtravagantly large, too large, that is
10 say. to indicate clearly the balance
of enlightened public opinion upon a
fundamental question of domestic pol
icy that scarcely. il at all. attracted
the reasoned Judgment of the people
at the last general election
The threat of the -Conformists
to refuse to pay the taxes that the
education bill in operation will necessi-
tate need not be taken seriously. A
few fanatics may do so and be sent to
Jail for their obduracy: but no one in
England supposes that there will be
many, or that their example will prove
contagious. TO kndle and sustain the
vital flame of a national revolt against
general taxation demands fagots and
finder enough for a revolution or a re-
bellon. The education bill may be
short sighted in principle and faulty
in detail but it is not vicious or menace
ing enough to endanger the public
peace.

could not occupy the attention of the
house.
The education bill in it's main fea-
lures provides for the further endoW-
ment of what are known as denomina-
tional schools, schools in other words
which are under the management of
Church Of England clergymen. These
schools have all along received a stipu-

u Y ORMALLY close. the Empire
state was this year made de-
4 batable by a number of
special causes. First of these
was the disarfecton of the great COR
porate interests. 1t had two sources.
The chief of these was resentment of
the reforms in taxation wrought by
Governor Odell. by which burdens lifted
from real estate were placed on the
corporations. Roosevelt had rufiled the
corporations by his franchise tax.
Then when Odell not only refused to
permit a repeal of this tax but added
other forms of taxation. they became
genuinely alarmed. They inspired the
nomination of Coler. effected the solid
ificaton of the Hill and Cleveland fac
tons of the Democracy and furnished
literally the sinews of war. For the
first time in many years the Republic
can campaign treasury was frugal in
funds
The other source of the corporate an
tagonism to Odell was his political
friendliness to President Roosevelt and
the idea that his defeat would consti-
tute punishment of the latter because
of his vigorous prosecution of trusts
and his evident sympathy with organ
lied labor. The part taken by Odell in
effecting a settlement Of the coal strike
no doubt contributed to the corporate
opposition to his reelection.
Aside from the corporations. there is
reason to believe that Odell had to face
Il considerable fire from within the
ranks of the Republican organization
The sweeping economies introduced by
him in administrative expenses threw
many party workers out of places of
profit and prominence. His stubborn
assertion of official independence and
his refusal to take humiliating orders
gave offense to numbers of organization
wheel-horses, by whom these attitudes
were unexpected and who looked upon
them as little less than treasonable.
There is no evidence to convict Senator
Platt of lukewarmness in Odell's be-
half: but it is noteworthy that Odell
had practically to organize his own
campaign and make his fight well-nigh
single e-handed.
That under these handicaps he has
won, albeit by narrow margin is
creditable to the underlying good judg-
ment of the New York voters The tri-
umph of David B. Hill would have been
national misfortune, since Hill, with
all his intellectual force and cunning,
is essentially insincere and untrust-
worthy.

HE CURRENT number of the
Edinburgh Review celebrates
IL the centenary of it's birth.
1t gives short autobio-
graphical sketch of its institution and
its career. with portraits of it's foun-
ders and editors. 1t is an unique fact
in the history of periodical literature
that the Edinburgh has had only
four editors during the century in
emn regularity of the procession of
the equnOXes. Exactly one hundred
years ago, in October 1902, the first
number was issued in precisely the
same typographical form in which it
appears today. with the familiar blue
cover and buff back. 1t is interesting
to note that these colors were chosen
by the Whg party, of which the cele-
brated quarterly was the intellectual
and political exponent. because of their
ton and his army, who Wore blue uni
forms with buff facings during the
war of independence, when they wore
a uniform at all. The Edinburgh Re-
view was not an original conception in
it's general scope. The literary and po-
litical review is the lineal descendant
of the partisan pamphlet. The evOlu-
tion from the sporadic pamphlet to the
periodical review was easy, inevitable,
dignifed and profitable to publisher
and publicist. The pamphlet in its day
was formidable weapon of political
offence and defense. 1t had, too, an
incredibly large circulation, if it ap-
pealed with anything like literary or
polemical effect to the party passions
of the hour. The pamphleteer was the

ton with II mission and the RESPONSE
bilty of its incalculable opportunities
for good or evil. We are sympathetic
ally inclined to regard the pamphleteer
as man of genius who starved in
garnet while ungrateful patrons and
booksellers reaped the fruits of his
perverted talents and industry. This is
very far from being Il correct esrma-
tioh of his place in the history of
periodical literature. There We're
pamphleteers like Defoe, Swift, Frank
lin and Paine, whose ephemeral pro-
ductions can still be read with pleas
ure and profit: but of the mcubratlons
of the average hack who moulded pub
lie opinion before the era of the daily
newspaper, it can be truly said of him
that he was both vile and venial
The advent of the daily press killed
off the pertinacious proiXity of the
pamphleteer without absorbing him.

or Wordsworth 1t may be said that
while his genius is unassnilable, the
worst that had been said of him by the
Edinburgh was excusabe in a contem-
porary critic dealing with poet whose
personal idiosyncracies too often be-
| trayed themselves in the plebian self
consciousness of his verse. Wordsworth
was not always inspired. and when lie
was commonplace he became very dull
| indeed. Its attacks on Byron were. per-
| haps, less deserved ON purely literary
grounds, but they had the effect of
giving occasion to one OF the finest
| satirical poems in the English language.
Scott was too sane n man to be affected
by hostile criticism. He could thor
oughly appreciate Jelfrey's golden rule,
so awfully perverted in those days, that

two legs to stand upon. one literary and
the other political. The political policy
of the Edinburgh Review is today,
making allowance for the transmuta-
ton in time and circumstances. what it
was IL hundred years ago. 1t no longer
numbers a Macaulay or a Brougham
among its contributors, but Mr.. Glad
stone contributed to it's pages while he
was prime minister of England. If it
no longer exercises the vast influence
which 1t once did, its critical estimates
will still bear comparison with those
contributed by men whose names have
become household words in the glib
association of English literature. a look
through the pages of the collected
"iitillS VI llle SalilNS WHO llue tnelr
own names and the name of the Edn-
burgh famous in England and America
in the first decade of the nineteenth
century will show that while their
rhetoric was magnificent in it's audacity,
it's egotism and virility, it was lacking
in that euuable scientific judgment
which makes political and literary criti-
cism worth anything as an inheritance.
Macaulay is still read, but who reads
Jeffrey, Brougham, Smith, Horner or
Brown?
But it is as an advocate of reform
that the Edinburgh deserves the graft
tude of the generations which it served.
1t was almost Il solitary advocate of
influence for the abolition of the slave
trade. for Catholic emancipation, for
the reform of the criminal law. the
abolition of religious tests for munich
pal reform, and many other far-reach-
ing projects which We're so many steps
