to DR.. Bretano in London and the
work that that practical sociolOgist
has carried on for over q third OF
century. He has picked UP over 3d.
600 desolate and abandoned children
from the slums of London. He has
kept an accurate record of every one
of them. About 40 per cent are entire
ly successful and become valuable
citizens, most of them farmers and
mechanics, who accumulate money,
marry well, provide themselves with
homes and rear useful families. From
5 to 10 per cent enter the professions.
They become clergymen, lawyers, doc
tors, teachers, engineers, and upon
the list may be found the names of
several eminent men and women who
have married in high stations and ex-
ercise great influence upon society.
About 40 per cent became self-sup-
porting laborers who raise families
and less than per cent of all of them
have gone to the bad. There have
been some incompetents, but the ratio
is far less than is found among the
aristocracy and nobility.
The cruelty of a system that dooms
hundreds of thousands of Gods chill
dren to such lives as are lived in the
slums OF London and our own cities is
beyond the power of language to de-
scribe. Tat with equal opportunities

citizens is shown by the careers of
these rescued children. 1t is not her

Republican rule down in Kansas has
brought about the same conditions
that the same sort of rule has in this
state. Taxes continue to mount the
scale faster than the mercury ever ran
up the tube when the hot winds were
blowing. Thomas Benton Murdoch,
one OF the leading republicans down
there, says: 'The taxpayers of the
state are being plundered by gangs of
political loafers, who have no more
object or aim in life but to live off the
public" What this state needs is a
new deal and less steal. But Mr.. MUIR
dock is one of those SANITY politicians
himself who was willing that re-
publican legislature should pass law
that prevented the populists from get
ting on the ticket. A party that would
enact such a law as that could not be
expected to do anything else than
steal and live off he people.

Last winter when the coal famine

time expires on the 14th of next jan

Of New England have found it is a
fact that the foreigner does not pay
the tax, are unanimously demanding
that the suspension of the tariff on
coal shall be made permanent. They
have also discovered that the removal
of the tariff did not ruin the indus

THE TEACHING OF PoPUL1sm

Populist theories receive new dem
onstrations constantly and day by day
as time goes on. Populists believe in
the people and not in classes, and
claim that If all were given equal op-
portunities, there would be a general
leveling up of all mankind. OF course
there would be few detectives and
incompetents, but they would not diff
fer in number among what are now
called the upper and lower classes.

THE MODERN DAILY EDITORIAL

The Independent has never over
drawn the character Of the editorial
writing In the modern great daily. 1t
has called it twaddle, chatter, gossip,
nonsense, and that is just what it is.
The titles of the editorials in last Sun
days Chicago Tribune indicate the
character of the writing. These titles
of editorials were as follows: For
Equestrians Only "A Dangerous Al
lance" THAT referred to the English
cabinet), Orthodoxy and Bob-tailed
Coats" The Art Institute 'Wag-
ner Parisfal and Religion" Juvenile
Literature" (under this head the
sapient editor remarks that bad and
unsentimental little boys should be
encouraged to read it (fairy tales) and
become better acquainted with Titania,
Puck, Oberon, Pease Blossom, Cob
web, Moth, Mustard Seed, and all the
other fairy people,; REPOSITORY
Shops" and '1s Reading Vice?'
The editorial matter in the Record
Herald of the same date was like unto
that in the Tribune. The titles were
as follows: Against Married Women
Teachers "The Duke of Devonshire, y
let Anarchists Answer for Their
Words" Thistle Grating" Tickle
the Baby's Toes" etc.
The great themes that the high
priced editors discuss are such as
would not overtax any adolescent
mind. The problems of government
the difficult things in political econ
omy, taxation, and sociology are ali
too large for their feeble minds. Sc
they give them a wide berth.

she looks at the bills. The thing for
her to do is to get club and beat

Independent the other day in speak

MODERN EDITORIALS
The Independent has made frequent
remarks upon the silly twaddle that
passes for editorials in the great dali
les. 1t seems that sensible men ev-
erywhere are getting rather tired of
it. The Publishers Guide makes the
following remarks on that subject:
In no place Is the change in
modern newspapers more noticea-
BILE than in the editorial section,
where special articles on How to
Curl Hair run rampant with
President Roosevelt Is An Aero
bat or Don't Let Your Mother
Drink Is 1t an improvement?
What is the cause? Is it possible
that in this day and age there are
no longer men who are able to
think so clearly and write so well
that readers are interested and in
fluenced by their editorials?"
