Democratic party. It is the earnest
appea! q one ~hc loves bis party
that that party be true to Its princl-
pies by remaining true to the people.
1t is the protest Of a Democrat, who
believes that the hopes Of the people
depend upon the Democratic party's
fidelity to its principles, against the
experimentation Of the party, and
the delivery Of the party's affairs into
the mcrcilsss keeping of the represen-
tatives of special interests. To advise
the Democratic party to remain true
to the people is not counseling suicide.
1t is suggesting the only plan whereby
the party can obtain new life and new
power and ultimately win a victory
that will be worth having, because 1t
will be victory that will bring sub
stantial results to the people.

The Yellow Peril.

AS we see it, Japanese victory
over Russia would be one Of the
worst things that could happen for
the civilized world. We agree with
the view taken by an eminent German
statesman, who thinks that it would
be better for Russia to predominant
in China rather than Japan. He goes
on to say that 1.-THE common talk in
ministerial quarters is that this is not
simple contest for territory in Corea
or Manchuria, but rather combat Of
civilizations and of race ideals, and If
one must choose between the white
and the yellow, Germany stands by
the white" We know that Russia
has not acted wisely, and that Japan
has sufficient reasons for making war.
We recognizes also that other powers
have cause for complaint in that
Russia did not keep her promise to
evacuate Mancburia, and among these
powers are Germany, which now holds
opinions identical with those of the
United States concerning the open
door" But, beyond these considera-
tions there are, according to this very
high German official, greater con-
siderationS of craftsmanship which
prompt Germany to withhold It's
sympathy from Japan, and to hope
Russia will not be vanquished.
japanese victory is believed by this
official to mean that Japanese in
huence would be supreme in China,
and that the cry would 60 up Asia
for the Asiatics." He believed also
that territorially and economically
Great Britain, Germany and the
United States would, in the event of
Janan'S WINNING. No expelled from the
East. In Germany there is foreseen
a state of affairs when Japan shall
have trained several million Chinese
soldiers and sailors and inspired them
as Gordons lever victorious army
was inspired by successful and
thoughtful leadership. The yellow
peril" !s {. conviction IN Germany and
it will be in other parts CT the world
too, should Iaapaa prevail over Russia.

The MileaCe Steal,

The mileage question provides an
interesting subject for discussion
among the members Of congress.
There was no recess between the spe-
cial and the regular session OF con-
gress, and yet many members insisted
that they were entitled to draw mile
age, not only for the special session,
but also for the regular session. The
New York World says that the Re-
publican majority of the house were
willing to vote this mileage money
for travelling to their homes and back
although the travelling had not been
done. The World points out that
"the legal larceny would have varied
from a comparatively small sum for
the New Yorker to $1,000 to each for
some Pacific slope members" The
situation with respect to this pro-
posed steal is described by the World
in this way: "A provision TO pay this
niieaee e was actually drafted into a
pending bill. 1t was even carried by
a yea and nay vote. But when tellers
were demanded, when every member
knew that he must 60 on record, not
one man stood out for the steal. Its
open advocates in private speech, the
men who had raised their voices for
it In oral vote, were afraid to stand
out in the open. And now these
virtuous statesmen are hoping that
the senate will restore the mileage
item in the urgent deficiency bill and
compel the house to accept it, Not
If publicity can prevail! The same
fear Of public opinion which impelled
the mileage grabbers to unhand their
spoil will again be potent to restrain
them. Thieves do not plunder where
a bright light burns"

Good Roads Needed.

In an address which he recently
delivered, O. P. Austin, statistician
of the department Of commerce, ad-
vanced the proposition that the real
secret of the method to keep the
bright youth of the country OH the
farm is to furnish good roads. The
extension Of the rural free delivery
and Of telephone lines are all steps in
the direction of ameliorating country
life and making it more attractive to
young people; but after all, the eX-
tension of good road system will do
more than all other things combined.
According to this view, which seems
sound, bad roads do more than any
thing else to promote isolation, dis
couragement and disgust among coun-
try people. Good roads promote at
tendance at school and at church. They
make social gatherings, literary socie-
ties, dramatic entertainments and
club and lodge meetings possible dur
ing the winter months. In the absence
of good roads, the farm family has
to hibernate during there or four
months in the year, so far as social
life is concerned. With good roads,
the same months could readily be made
the most PLEASANT and intellectually
the most profitable of the year. The
arguments in favor Of good roads are
many. The commercial aspect has
naturally been the one to which the
largest attention has been paid, be-
cause after all the bread and butter
question abSorbs the largest share OF
the time of the average human being.
There are many others. Not the
least important Of them is that to
which Mr.. Austin directs attention,
the added attractions which country
life will have when communication is
50 easy as it will be when fine roads
are intersecting every rural district.

WHY Whin Children?

We fully agree with Tho New IoTR
American that those teachers in the
New York schools who have petition
ed the school board for the restoration
of corporal punishment in the public
schools of that city are reactionaries,
deserving Of no encouragement what
ever. We have long since been of the
decided opinion that there should be
no whipping Of children in the pubic
or private schools. Indeed" as the
American puts it, the teacher who
cannot control bis or her pupils with
out the use Of the rod confeSses unit
ness for his or her profession. There
are plenty of punishments that can be
inflicted upon children without treat
ing them as if they were vicious
beasts, to be governed only through
fear of physical pain. In the case OF
incorfigibles, they can be expelled.
The cane, the whip, degrades alike
the teacher who employees it and the
child on whom it is laid. The instil-
ling Of Self-respect is the most impor-
tant part of education, and the boy
who is whipped suffers lasting wound
to his self-respect. Every blow strikes
his forming character and brutalizes
him. Teachers are human, and the
possession Of power to infiict pain nnt
uncommonly breeds the desire to in
tiict it. For the sake of the teacher as
well as the scholar, therefore, the op-
portunity to be cruel should not be
furnished in our SCHOOLS. No. doubt
there are many unruly boys hard to
manage, but it is the teachers busi-
ness to solve the problem of manage
ment, and to solve it in a civilized
way. We will venture the assertion
that the teachers in our local graded
school whose classes are doing the
best work, and whose pupils are max
ing the best progress, are the teachers
who do the least whipping. Upon ia-
vestigation it will be found that these
teachers are loved, not feared, by their
pupils, and that is the reason why
their pupils do better work. What
is said above about teachers applies
with equal force to parents. Children
at home can be ruled with love instead
of fear if parents will only remember
that children are nothing more nor less
than little men and women, who can
be deeply touched with kindness the
same as grown up men and women
can be. We believe that many a good
boy has been ruined by being whip
ped, when he needed a lesson in kind
ness. He may have been what we COM
monty call a bad boy, but whipping was
not what he needed. We say this, be-
cause we have seen SO many boys. of
this kind that whipping after whip
ping did DO good. We always think
In such cases what a pity tie parents
did not try kindness instead Of punish
ment,
