Addicks' Pole Too Short.

Delaware is contemplating another
legislative deadlock this winter. On
Joint ballot the union or Addicks re-
the regular republicans ten, and the
democrats nineteen. It the regulars or.
anita ddicks men refuse to caucus, as
they probably will, there will be no
choice of senator. There is already
one senatorial vacancy from Delaware,
and the term Of L. H. Hall ends March
4. If there is no choice this winter
the state will not be represented in the
upper house of congress.
That will be hard on Delaware, but
he rest Of the country can stand it. The
population Of the state is too insig-
nificant to be entitled to equal represen-
tation in the senate with New York or
illinois, The state ought to have voice
in the upper house, of course, but bet
ter be silent entirely than represented
by the unspeakable Addicks, who has
been painted blacker than ever by the
revelations Of Lawson. The trouble
some deadlock is more to the credit OF
the little state than the election Of Ad
!
dicks.
An unpleasant feature Of the Addicks
battle in Delaware is that the Addicks
strength is located in the rural districts
All the anti-Addicks republican mem
bers have been elected from Newcastle
county, which consists of Wilmington
and it's environs. The Addicks strength
comes from the counties Of Kent ant
Sussex, which seem to derive their rev
enue from the peach crop and the gen
eral election. The morale of the farm
ers seems to have been badly broker
down by the temptations of the gas man
Imagine an Addicks trying to pur
chase. the sufrages of the rural voter
of Meeker, Kandiyohi or Lac qui Parl
counties, Minnesota. When it come
to political honesty we can teach tn

THE MAGAZINES

The Riqht Kind of "Peace on Earth."-
Samuel McChord Crothers in The Atlantic
Monthly for December breaches a much
needed and very timely Christmas SER
mon, from which the following is an eX-
tract:
The call is for new chivalry. Our duty
is not only to keep the peace but 10 make a
peace that is worth keeping. This Is no easy
task. It means the humanizing of all our activ-
tiles. Everywhere human ideal must be placed
lgion must be lifted above ecciesiasti-
cism. The machinery Of civilization must be
made subservient to man. More careers must
be opened for men of the soldierly spirit. whose
ambition is for service. The new generation
must be shown what oppor tunities the worlds
business and politics offer to great-hearted gen.
tlemen who are willing to risk something for a
cause. The kind Of peace which the world needs
cannot be had for the asking. It comes high
but it is worth the price.

THE BALTIC FLEETS CHANCES
Outlook.

Outlook. = -
The strength of the Baltic fleet, as
compared to that Of the squadron it will
have to meet, has been the subject OF
careful computation in every serious
newspaper in Europe. 1t has been re-
marked that the weight of metal--the to-
tai gun power-is slightly on the side OF
the Russian, but that the training of the
personnel in the Russian fleet is gravely
deficient. What has been less widely
noted (and If noted at all, noted only in
the English press). has been the vulner-
ability of the golfers accompanying the
fleet. If it is possible in the course Of ac-
ton to destroy them or to find them scat
tered after a storm, and SO capture them
the Baltic fleet is lost. If it is permitted
to reach Vladivostok intact (for Vladivo-
stok is certainly it's objective), the wal
has simply to begin again.

The travelling men of Minnesota pride
themselves on having contributed their
full share toward the election of Mr.
Johnson, the democratic candidate for
governor. Not less than 80 per cent of
them were enlisted on his side during the
campaign, and some of them admit that
they talked Johnson to their customers,
whether they sold them goods or not.
Politicians occasionally scott at the in
fuence Of the travelling men, but there is
no doubt about their efficiency in the

The school system of saving should
not discourage parents who wish to use
it for small savings, but when families

better for them to earn in some way the
money that is saved, and not to beg it
from others. The lesson that comes

School Savings Banks.

= The officers of the Associated Chart
ties are on the right track when they
urge the school board to establish
school savings banks in Minneapolis.
These banks have proved an excellent
institution in other cities, and are
worth trial here. They have resulted
in many families of small wage earn
ers starting accounts and putting some
thing by for the rainy day that so
often comes. In the hour of trouble
they are not forced to appeal for
charity. 1884,. ..s:. .:s.a,s
From another point of view the sys-
tenn has value. 1t is a part of the prac-
tical education of school children which
they can get in no other way. The
school banks are worth more for the
spirit Of thrift they teach, than for the
! actual money laid away. It is the les
son rather than the money that counts,
but the lesson cannot be learned with
out the concrete example. Ten pen
MES dropped in the savings bank are
worth more than sixty lectures on
economy, or hundred Poor Richard
maxims learned by rote.
No one wants the newer generation
taught to be misers. There is danger
of that in about one case out of thou
sand The city child can learn no more
needed lesson than thrift and indie
pendence. Such a lesson is harder to
learn. in city than in country. Rural
life. gives small opportunities and
temptations to spend money, while the
city at every turn beckons or commands
one to %spay, pay Money comes
more easily in town, and melts away
surprisingly fast. Boys and girls
lea'n without any trouble to spend
money freely, and they seldom have a
proper chance to learn the lesson of
saving. It is lesson quickly and east
~ taught by experience and example,
and when once learned it is not apt to
be forgotten. The boy who learns to
save dollar and to keep it as his
- start in life' has laid the foundation
for a successful business career. He
learns by concrete example, and it will
be time enough later to learn that "lit.
tie savings make great havings," OF
that ~. IT,. IN
