ONE AS BAD As THE OTHER

When partisan frenzy seizes pop
ulation, 1t has characteristics that diff
fer somewhat from all other frenzies.
1t, in some respects, differs from re-
ligious frenzy, but has many things
in common with that sort of insanity.
Raymond, the Chicago Tribune's
Washington correspondent, in speak
ing of the late campaign in Ohio, says:
Senator Hanna's personal pop
ularity was SO great, and the
meetings he addressed were SO
pronOuncedly republican, that he
would have been applauded If he
had advocated a scheme for the
propagation and encouragement
Of typhoid fever"
When there is such condition
among the people, sane men can only
bide their time and wait until the
craze is passed. There is not a par
ticle of doubt that Hanna could have
got an unanimous Endorsement from
his followers in Ohio for ship sub
sidy scheme-that every one of them
would have voted to give millions of
dollars, and taxed themselves to pay
It. to any great syndicate of multi
millionaires that Hanna would have
named. That subsidy to ships. paid
out of the government treasury. could
not In any way benefit an Ohio farm
er. wage-worker or small business
man. would have made no difference TO
them. They would have voted 'er
straight anyhow
But Il vii! be impossible to main
tain that sort OF frenzy any great
length OF time. II will disappear and
II hard times should come along with
It's disappearance. the same shouting
crowds would be just as willing 10
tear Hanna to pieces and trample him
beneath their feet. In such an up
heayai, sane men would take nc
greater part than they did In the pre-
ceding craze. and they will be ths
onca 10 whom the people will turn
for anal leadership. The whole re

A great many sermons were
preached in Chicago last Sunday on
the career of the youthful criminals
who murdered eight people and COM
mitted many other crimes. The min
listers laid the blame of their deprav-
lty upon everything except the right
thing. Some of them even laid the
blame on the education of the lower.
classes. If they had cast a glance at
their Sunday morning papers and
noted the pages devoted to giving no.
toriety to these Getestible villains and
thought for moment upon wnat the
influence of such literature would be
upon the young, they would have had
no difficulty in arriving at the cause
of the degeneracy of the youth OF the

In the Great Northwest. i"

Ray Stannard Baker, whose articles
on 1.-THE Great Northwest" are ranked
by The Century among the most notable
and valuable of the years offerings,
found the nine thousand miles which he
and Mr.. E. l.. Blumenschein travelled
gathering materials for their pictures,
written and drawn. full of adventure.
"We visited all the important cities in
the five Northwestern States" Mr..
Baker says. 1--WE took part in the land
rush at the opening of the Fort Hole
Indian Reservation in Idaho in June;
we went into the lumber camps in Wash
ington, down in the mines of Montana,
out with the salmon fishing fleet at the
mouth of the Columbia River; we out
fitted and travelled with wagons or on
horseback across part of Idaho, through
the forest reserve of Wyoming, and
across Yellowstone Park; and we visited
the old city of Victoria in British Column
bia. In all of the different cities we
were afforded every possible assistance
in our work, given introductions to the
clubs invited to visit every seat of enter
prise-to the limit of our strength. The
people everywhere seemed deeply inter
ested in having the country properly
presented in The Century.
