A LESSON FROM KANSAS.

Fifteen years ago there was hardly q
town In Western Kansas which did not
show many foundations on which no
superstructures had been erected. The
foundations remained uncovered be-
cause of the collapse Of the boom Some
of them were small and shallow. 9th
ers were laid broad and deep. The ele-
ments assailed them all alike. The
rains washed the mortar from between
their bricks and stones. The frosts dis
integrated the bricks and stones them
selves. Foundations which, IL built
upon in the ordinary way would have
endured for generations, fell, in few
years. into such utter ruin that when
good times" returned to Kansas II
was In all cases unsafe, and in many
impossible, to erect buildings upon
them. Only small portions Of the ma
terlal they contained could be utilized
in the construction Of other founda'
tlons. Not unlike the fate which these
abandoned foundations suffered Is that
which oyertakes the educatlOns which
many men acquire in the schools.
Schools and colleges lay but the foun
dalton Of education. They may lay II
broad and deep, but If no superstruc
ture is later erected oyerNl IT the foun

AN Old SUBJECT 7HRASHEO Oven

"Whats the matter with ChicagO?"
This was the subject Of Il discussion
given by the Chicago Credit Mems As
ISOLATION ut n dinner given by that Or
ganizatlOn last week.
The subject IL an old one. although
some new and rather startling views
were given expression In regard to IT,
For instance, the president of the
a association "told Of the vast field
which was In store for the Chicago
merchants ana manufacturers II they
would only wake up The entire
world, he went on, was looking toward
America, and yet Chicago, Its second
greatest city, was not equal to the &C.
casion." Another speaker declared
that the business men Of Chicago ap-
peared to be in trance, while yet an
other declared the city had fallen Into
lethargy from which. II they did not
all nut their shoulders to the wheel,
It would be impossible for the city
ever to recover.
While it does not seem clear to The
Eagle Just what the occasion IL to
which Chicago business men nave raii'
cd to rise, or what particular wheel
people can apply their shoulders to
that will make the wheels Of CON-
merce revOlve more rapidly, It may be
well, after all, for the real workers In
the commercial field to wake up the
captains Of business once In while
to little renewed energy. 1t seems to
us, however, that the principal causes
Of business stagnation In Chicago Is
the interference Of irresponsible busy
bodies with the legitimate functions OF
municipal government with which the
business prosperity Of the city Is init
mately involved, and the unthinking
criticisms Of public conditions given
publicity to by alleged reformers,
whose real business In life Is self-glo,
ricatlon, but the result of whose per
| nicious activities Is lasting injury to
the business interests of the city.

DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK IN CHICAGO

Undaunted by the tremendous de-
feat of Nov. last the Democrats of
Chicago are already slrding up their
loins for the coming MayOralty cam
paign, and IL one is To Judge by the
energy and activity displayed among
the leaders, with no slight hopes of
success.
While there Is just now consider
able talk among leaders Of various
wings Of the party that might lead the
casual observer 10 believe the cam
paign would be divided by factionism
and internal Discussions, there is little
doubt in the minds of those expert
cnced in Chicago politics that the par
~ will get together next spring and
that all clements will be united be-
hind a good ticket and worthy stand

cago has shown wonderful rccupcra
tive powers in the past, a fact fully
attested by the record Of the present
Mayor who has time and again step
ped in after a crushing defeat Of the
party in the fall and wrested the city
from the Republicans the following
spring.

should repeat itself next spring, pro

authority, because he had experienced
crime In all its stages up to murder.

cessful criminal may get possession al
times of large sums Of money. But
it slips through his fingers. Ill-gOl

will be essential, because. with

like chair before any ticket the Ne-
publicans might put up.
There Is, no doubt, plenty Of avail
able ,Mayoralty timber In the Demo
cratic party here. 10 lack of men who
could unite all wings and lead strong
fight for the party success. No doubt
one of these will be selected.
One of the most important features
of the coming campaign In Chicago Is
the fact that in the hands Of the sue
cessful party will be placed the al
most unlimited power which Will be
conferred by the new charter. ana
that under it the party in power Will
be in Il position to come near perpetu'
