Contemporary Comment
Influences in Presidential Election

nate New York are apt to control the
adjacent states of New Jersey and
Connecticut. and judging from the inti-
mate relationship of the three states
and past history, it is natural to as
sumo that the party which carries New
York this November will also carry.
Connecticut and New Jersey. Judging
from experience, we may also assume
that Indiana will vote with New York.
1t is remarkable that in this great
country there is so close sympathy
among the people that in nearly every
part of it they are similarly affected
by the same causes, and it is not usual
at the same presidential election for
the Democratic majority to increase in
some states and the Republican major
ity to increase in other states.-Balti-

LATTER DAY GEOGRAPHY

An enthusiastic educator demanded
of an audience of fellow educators the
other day how they could expect to
teach the young idea geography If they
were totally ,unaequainted with the
quality of the root of each young ideas
family tree. She did not explain what
ones family tree had to do with ones
ability to bound the United States, but
she spoke to a Boston audience and
doubtless it understood.
There are other indications which
show that our parents method of
studying geography was all wrong.
There is, for instance, that other edu-.
Gator whose cherished dream is a per-
sonally conducted geography class that
shall sail away on a big boat to visit
every part of the globe, even that part
of it which Alice on her way to Won
derland SO happily described as ''the
Antipathies.'' He has been forced to
abandon his plan this year, but he has
not said that he viii not try again.
The geography of the past, if we re-
member rightly, was chiefly poetry or
rhyme, for childhood doesn't make the
nice distinction between the two. The
states and their capitals were lisped in
numbers, and if it was somewhat con-
fusing to locate Augusta as the CAPT.
tai of Maine when one dropped to plain
prose, at least there was always that
proud consciousness that one could say
them through from beginning to end
without a break if only one were per-
| mitted to cling to poetry.
But there were other things besides
the rhymes which impaired subtle
charm to the geography of other days.
There was the apple or the orange
which represented the world and on
which 1t was possible to lay out the
equator and all the other circles with
neatness and exactness. There were
the pins for poles (surely Peary will
bring back pin with him when he
finally discovers the north pole), which
disabused ones mind for all time Of
the idea that poles are imaginary. And
there were those many experiments
with pen or pencil to convince one that
the earth, that is. the apple, was really
and truly round
Times have changed and geography,
apparently, with them. A teacher who
takes the subject as seriously as does
that Boston educator would disdain an
apple or an orange and would probably
vote rhymes silly. And no personally
conducted geography class would be
permitted to indulge in the charming
belief that by digging long enough and
deep enough in ones back yard one
would find himself in Far Cathay. I'm
doubtedly latter day geography has it's
points of superiority, but surely 1t
lacks something of the charm of the
geography of other days.

Other hand, they may leave the corpses
of chickens, merely. The general pub
lie had been taught to expect more of
the auto in the way of wholesale
slaughter than-resulted from the recent
race. 1t was not at all remarkable that
the public, or that part of 1t which at
tended the race, should have been pro-
foundly disappointed.
Aside from the frightfuI casualties
that occasionally result, there is MOTH
ing in an automobile race to hold the
attention of the spectator. He cannot
by any possible chance, unless he at
tends in an airship or follows on the
tail of kite, see the start and finish
of the race. He is not able to enjoy
any evidence of the chauffeur's skill
as, in horse race, he would enjoy the
evidence of the Jockeys skill, for the
reason that he cannot follow the course
and when the machine. goes by he is
very apt to have his eyes shut. And
even if his eyes were open, he would
see nothing but streak. Therefore,
since the popularity of the auto races
depends solely upon the amount and
the kind of food they furnished for
conversation, and since the Long ISL
and contest has demonstrated that the
auto race may be run with compare
tive safety. it seems probable that in
the very near future no one will care
much whether such races are run or
not.

THE EXTERNAL REACTION

Every age thinks itself singular. The
old, looking back to the days of their
youth, with differences of custom and
of standard, shake grizzled heads
doubtfully or despairingly over the
long departure. The young, conscious
of vigor and of purpose, exultantly de-
clare their emancipation. Not only
social usage and the individual rela-
ton must be made over, but they have
always within the angle of vision
what they are pleased to call a new
era" One of these is just around the
corner, if it has not already arrived,
and it is to be the precursor of great
events and the solver of world-old
problems.
On this preposterous assumption
even our soberest are intent. Bodies
of grave men and women discuss the
tendencies of the times and ask
anxiously whittier they will lead. We
have not done hearing about the new
woman" and all that her appearance
involves. The loosening of restraints
over the young is another phenomenon,
about which anxiety is most pardon
able But the boy or girl, at. college or
at home, lives and moves in an at
mosphere so unknown to the past that
the elders cannot accustom themselves
to changes so momentous. and gaze
into the skies for the sudden onset of
ruin and of wrack which they believe
must follow this tremendous transfer
nation.
Everywhere the old things are chang
ing, and we know not what the new
order may be to which they give place.
The fabric of business life has been
wrought over within the last few
years, and he is behind the times who
does not recognize the difference and
accommodate himself to recent condi-
tions. Ideas of education have been
recast into strange and fantastic forms.
The pressure on all sides for greater
liberty has inevitably stretched some
times into license The universal I'M
rest, the striving to be something
greater-if possible, but at any rate
something different from our forbears
colors the whole of human life. And
as the majority of people regard these
movements and tendencies as funda--
mental, novel, destined to progress
quickly toward some final goal of un-
changeable improvement or disaster
economic and social discussion takes
tone of flnality, and we live in an
air charged with as much electrical
disturbance as if the end of the world
were ar hand Practically speaking
that is the attitude of most thoughtful
people. They question the whittier OF
the age as If the eternal fortunes OF
the racerested on that decision.

corded on tablets older than those
which are now telling US of events
thousands of years before the historic
period.
The political philosopher has come
to understand that all forms of govern
ment and all administrations merely
express the everlasting conflict between
the radical and the conservative ele-
ments in human nature. These con-
tend in every Individual. They play
upon, correct and modify each other.
They are at the bottom of party or
ganization. They determine the course
of legislation. Despotism, constitu
tional monarchy or republic, all are
subject to the interplay of forces above
them, permanent and irnmutable. The
actual government is but the mode of
expression through which these con-
tending forces forever advance and
recede. conquer and yield, alternately
prevail but never conquer. Both are
as deeply implanted in human nature
as is. the force called gravitation in the
universe. Neither can ever be de-
stroyed or for long overborne.
This is the eternal reaction, and it
works in every Individual as in every
state. Hence societies, habits and GUS
toms vary between wide limits, just as
peoples sway from the extreme Of
liberalism to the extreme of caution.
Every man is radical and conservative
within himself; and the nomentary
ascendancy of one or the other deter
mines the tendency of the age. But
that will simply achieve its work and
give place to its contradictory, whose
existence and whose power are implied
and bound up in it's own. In endless
embrace and endless conflict, daring
and caution, the progressive impulse
and the reactionary, push the world
and humanity up the long incline where
no advance or retrogression is final,
but the gain must ever be measured
by the excess of what is won over
what is lost
The latest thought of science re-
solves nerve force in the human body
into endless electrical discharges be-
tween infinitely small particles posi-
lively and negatively charged. Out OF
their inconceivably rapid and minute
attractions and repulsions, advances
and retreats, come life and action and
the flower of human things. This
leaves the question of origins as re-
mote and sacred, as much an article
for faith as any older and more COM
pick belief. But it is in beautiful har-
mony with all we know and see of life
in the individual and in the social state.
There, too, there is the alternate
triumph of the positive or the negative
force, predicting it's certain downfall
and successor With reference to the
end toward which the whole creation
moves, no times or events or drift of
custom has weight as prophet, or
writes records more enduring than the
lightnings flash. We are so made that
we grow, as well as act, through al
ternating currents of holiness and
hesitancy. of confidence and doubt, of
change and permanence that find their
own extremes and are devoured of their
own children: and he who understands
this and sees the long perspective may
well remain calm amidst the tumult
and the terror of stormy ages and
landmarks torn away.
