CHILDREN ARE SANE.
But Grownup People, Most of Them,
Are More or Less Insane.


There is one disadvantage which
is involved in the very nature of edu-
cation-that is, that we have to as
sumo that grownup people are repre-
sentative. We have even to go the
length of assuming that grownup peo-
pie are sane When we talk about
encouraging health in children and
discouraging morbidity, when we talk
of such and such child being abnor-
NAL or interesting or neurotic or a
genius, we are all the time taking for
granted that we ourselves have at
tanned to what is profitable and eter
nal in human nature But there is at
least something that may reasonably
be said upon the other side. 1t may
at least very plausibly be maintained
age, sane and reliable and grown up
people who are, age after age, more
or less fantastic and disconcerting.
The great majority of grownup peo-
pie in any age viii be in all probab-
ility slightly insane; for since no nu-
man philosophy naturally treats it.
self as if it were perfect, the chances
are in every generation that the ma
jority of educated people Will be
ecstatically certain of something that
is quite untrue. Whatever agrees
with that is sane; whatever disagrees
with it is eccentric. Children are al
ways children, or, to limit the matter
with. more precision, babies, al 1ag

be so paradoxical as to maintain that
men are always men or women always

Great Britain has been aroused to
such a feeling of anger at the seizures
OF British slips by vessels of tile Rue
sian volunteer fleet inSthe Red SEES
that even conservative government Of
ficials and conservative newspapers
are clamorlng for reprisals, and it is
feared war will result unless Russia
backs down, releases the vessels, and
disavows tile seizures.
Leaders of ali political parties are
united in declaring these seizures an
inexcusable outrage, and in demanding
that the Car be forced to right the
wrong. ~
Men and newspapers that bitterly

Those who deplored the outbreak of
the war between Japan and Russia

that Great Britain, crippled financially,
after her South African experiences,
must not, at ali costs, be drawn into
the far Eastern struggle, are now
among the most outspoken champions
of a physical force that will prevent
the repetition of the Malacca incident

I'm our own time and our own
way" as Senator Lodge arrogantiy
puts it, a further postal investigation
will be undertaken. I'm our own time
and our own way" we will attend to
such revision of the tariff as may be
necessary, say the Republican leaders.
The Republican platform, however,
does not indorse Senator Lodge, or
perhaps when the Senator wrote the
platform he thought it would be best
to say as little as possible about so
uncomfortable subject as frauds
and scandals and claim everything
was all right, anyway. So the plat
form says:
"Our administrations of the great
departments of the government has
been honest and efficient, and wher-
ever wrongdoing has been discovered,
the Republican administration has not
hesitated to probe the evil and bring
offenders to justice without regard to
party or political ties"
How honest and efficient the Repub-
lican administration has been is
shown by, not only the postoffice
frauds. but by the land frauds, the
Department of Justice scandals, the
Littauer glove scandal, the Indian
Territory scandals. the Philippine
scandals, the Porto Rico smuggling
scandals, the District of Columbia
scandals and other frauds and scan
dals. In fact, no department of the
government is free from them, and it
is no wonder that not even in their
own time and their own way do the
Republicans care to publicly mention
them, much less allow a thorough in
vestigation. Some charged with per-
petrating frauds are candidates for
Office on the Republican ticket. and
others are still high in Republican
councils, and it would be disastrous to
talk Of such matters with the voters
about to take action.
The same program is attempted on
the tariff. The Republican leaders say,
stand pat, and if the time ever comes
when 1t becomes necessary for party
success to amend the tariff in our own
time we will do it. Therefore the
Republican platform said: I'VE in
sist upon the maintenance of the prin-
ciples of protection"-tha is, we stand
pat-"and therefore rates of duty
should be readjusted only when con-
ditlons have so changed that the pub
lie interests demands their alteration"
That is, when we-the Republican
leaders - find conditions haze so
changed that the public" seem deter
mined to defeat us, we will introduce
a bill in the House of Representatives
TO readjust rates of duty, and if the
trust majority in the Senate defeat
the bill we can't help it, but viii try
again if you continue us in power.
Bat for Gods sake don't trust the
Democrats"
This is what a spring poet describes
as residing, under the bamooozle
tree" and in his latest effusion he
says:
There's the smooth politician who
lives on the dream that he's
surely bamboozling the voters
With his CAB and his graft. till he
finds in the end he's been bad
" bambOozled by ''fioaters."

Political Trust Hunting.
The injunction that President Roose-
welt and his Attorney General obtain
ed about TWO years ago against the
beef trust seems to haveshad just the
opposite effect intended II. was sup
posed at the time that President
Roosevelt was hunting with intent to
kill, the most conspicuous bad trust
he had discovered. 1t is impossible TO
fathom upon what theory President
Roosevelt selected the beef trust as
the sole bad industrial trust he could
find to prosecute. for the coal trust,
the Standard Oil trust. the steel trust
and dozens of others, were culpable
in the same degree. The profits Of
the Standard Oil trust were larger
and the dividends paid much greater
and the monopoly even more grinding
than the beef trust. for it had adj
yanced its prices 100 per cent in
year. The coal trust was equally
guilty and quite as oppressive. The
steel trust was more gigantic. and as
monopoly spared neither high nor
low. Why We're none of these select
ed as the horrible example?'
The reason was plain; they we're all
too strong politically and hao been in
the past and were expected to be in
the pe future, large con ributors to
the Republican campaign fund. 1t
would never do to run amuck"
against such good friends, with their
Wall street connections that controlled
banks, trust companies. railroads and
other industrial combines with half
the capital of the country at their
back. The beef combine men were
small potatoes compared to the other
trust magnates. and as public opinion
was centered on beef, in consequence
of the extraordinary increase in price,
the packers combina ton was selected
for Knox to slaughter
But the Packers combine people
were no nOvices in the legal game Of
bluff, and being advised by their at
torneys that an injunction restraining
them from combining in restraint of
trade, did not hinder them from a
''gentleman's agreement to all sell at
the same price and not bid against
each other for cattle and hogs, left
the injunction obtained by the admin
istration up in the air" in the Ian
guage of the street"
SO President Roosevelt got all the
credit for his war on the trust, but
The beef consumers have profted moth
ing, for the price of beef is still high.
But even the Republican Congress
could not justify state of affairs that
kept up the price of beef and reduced
the price of cattle, so last winter Sec
rotary Cortelyou, of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, was ordered
to investigate the Packers Combine
1t is presumed that for months this
investigation has been going on, but
it does not seem to worry the pack
ers and certainly has had no restrain
ing effect on the other trusts. for they
are all still charging ''all the traffic
! will bear" If the voters of the coun-
try are satisfied with this playing at
war against the trusts and vote to in
dorse such namby-pamby operations
they deserve to pay trust prices for
the balance of their lives and will
probably do so.
