United States army-"Hell Roaring Jake"-as he was called, who, in put ting down the rebellion in Samar three years ago. was compelled to employ measures which resulted in his trial by court martial.
 A good deal of sympathy was vast ed by sentimentaIists on the victims of General Smiths severity. but in con- sidering this case and that of General von Trotha, it must be remembered that when a white force is fighting cruel, blood thirsty savages who are themselves devoid of every human inn pulse and show no quarter to their captives. the whites have no alterna- tive but to employ like tactics. It is easy enough to theOrize about humane warfare. but it is very difficult in ac- tual practice to be humane unless the enemy exercises the same traits.

is too obvious to be denied or ques- toned. The weakness if not the en- tire absence of authority in a great number of American households today is attracting wide attention from nor alists and students of social life. In a great many cases the only training and discipline certain children receive is in the schools. If it were not for them they would grow up as untrain- ed as a wild grape vine.
 But the quotations given above from both the Journal and Superintendent Greenwood make the mistake of ac- cording the primacy, the initiative both in authority and in character building, to the school instead of the home The Journal practically asserts it, while it is inferable from the sup erintendents statement. Against this socialistic heresy, so natural in view of the large place the school now oc- cupies in the life of a child, protest should be made whenever it makes it's appearance. It ought to be true that all teachers in our public schools are superior to SOlile pdItiitSS lOl tllS former are a trained and selected class, while the latter are a promis- cuous body of people, many of them aliens to our life and institutions.
 Accordingly it is not to be denied that the well directed efforts of teach CTS to improve the character and man ners of some children are neutralized or vitiated by the parents of those children. But the bad home is not to be regarded as the typical home in'this country. The presumption is always in favor of the parents love for and interest in their childrens welfare, and especially in the sacred work of character building the supreme juris- diction of the parent and the subOrdi- nation of the teacher should always be maintained. Upon this every con scientious and respecting parent must insist. The children are given, first not to the state, not to the teach CT. but to the father and mother; and until those children reach their ma jority and become responsible for their own conduct and interests, the se- quence of. first parent, and next, sub ordinately, the teacher or-what is the same thing-the state, must be ob- served unless a natural law with an memorable penalty is to be defied and broken

The Passing of Browning.

A brief dispatch in the papers a few days ago announced the passing of a man who in his prime came as near being the idol of the baseball public as any ball player ever did. He was Louis Rogers Browning better known as Pete" Browning, "the Gladiator" Browning slugged his way to fame in the eighties and occupied a pinnacle for several years. All pitchers looked alike to Browning He hit every one of them with absolute impartiality.
 Browning played ball in the days before scientific baseball came into vogue. He knew nothing about the art of sacrifice hitting. When he went to the plate it was with the one idea of hitting her out" His record of four home runs in one game gives an idea of his manner of hitting the ball. And when all is said and done, that is the sort of hitting the baseball lover of today is fondest of.
 The pitcher who could strike him out immediately achieved distinction. but it is only fair to Browning to say that few of them ever had much sue cess in that line. Browning was in a class by himself in his good days. With q man on base and Browning at the bat his team wsa practically sure of a run or runs.
 once in Louisville a tight game with Cleveland was on. The home team was a run behind. Hecker. a redoubtable player, was on third with two out when Browning came to the bat. Hecker kept making feints at the plate. as if he contemplated an at tempt to steal. The Gladiator stood it for a few moments. Then he yelled at Hecker: Hold yer bag, Guy, I'll shore hit her"
 The next ball pitched Browning hit for a home run and the game was won. Whiskey did for Pete what he had done for many pitchers-put him out of the game. He drank himself into uselessness and, though he made attempts at times to reform, the habit was too strong to be permanently broken and at the comparatively early age of forty-five years he passes prac- ticauy unknown and unmOurned be- fore the great Umpire.

Parents and Teachers.

An article on "The Parents Duty in the Kansas City Journal discusses the obligation of parents 70 second and cooperate with the teachers of their children in the schools in what the Journal calls lone of the chief func- tions of the public school develop ment'-that is, character building. "Too often" says the Journal, "the teachers patient efforts in that direc- ton are neutralized and set at naught by the indifference or ignorance of the parents at home"
 This is done, it seems, in various ways. Parents sympathize with their children over the hardness of their tasks or some disciplinary regulation, and often overrule the teachers con corning some prescribed line of con- duct.
 The Journal supports its view by quoting Superintendent Greenwood, of that city, who in his address to the teachers there said: "Educationally there is the highest kind of presump- tive evidence that twenty children are injured at home, spoiled by Over-in- diligence, tickle management, to one that is injured in school. The most pernicious consequences flow from over-indulgence of children at home, under the mistaken idea that a child may shirk or evade duties and re- responsibilities, and then get along well later in the business world. Whenever the family government is weak or un- steady the child, whether boy or girl. never amounts to anything.

Primaries and Senate.

The tendency to substitute direct for indirect methods in elecung United States senators is undoubtedly gaining beadwav. Tennessee is the latest state to adopt the plan-now almost universal in the south-of naming senators by what is practically pop uIar vote. This plan strips the mem bers of the state legislature of a pow CT nominally confded to them by the federal constitution. just as our na- tional convention system denies to the members of the electoral college any real voice in choosing a president or a vice president. By compelling all aspirants for the senatOrship to stand in a party primary. responsibility for the choice of a senator is vested di- rectIv in the voters, and an end is thus attained which Ossensibly conflicts with the intent and letter of the con stitution.
 The credit of this innovation is due apparently to South Carolina-a state historically given to rather bold eN- periments in constitutional interpreta- tion Having soIidiied the electorate into one party. it occurred to the dem ocratic leaders in that state that it would be a good thing to preserve ma jority rule within the party The state primary was evolved and United States senators-properly held to be state offcers-were required, like oth- CT officers. to seek their warrants di- rectly from the state electorate. The experiment suited the conditions which had arisen at the south after the disappearance everywhere of genuine political opposition, and it was eagerly adopted by other south ern states. Mississippi, Florida Lou isiana- Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia and Kentucky have installed the pri- mary system, and now Tennessee has decided to apply it. In modified form Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ne braska have also taken up the direct nomination method, and there seems to be no doubt that the primary will more and more supplant the legislative caucus as the controlling force in sen ate elections.
 Distrust of the representative char acter of the average legislative major ity has done much to stimulate this movement to simplify the choice of senators, just as we had already sim pIifed the choice of president and vice president. The people are everywhere becoming more jealous of their polit- ical power and less inclined to dele gate it to intermediates especially to intermediates of the professional political class. The house of represen- tatives has repeatedly passed an amendment to the constitution requir- ing the election of senators by pop ular vote. but the senate has refused to permit the question to be submit ted to the state legislatures Possibly no amendment of this sort will be made in our time. Yet the spread of the primary system of nominating senators suggests that the end desired may be at least partly attained with out actually altering the text of the constitution.

uermany's Colonial War.

The German colonial policy was not inaugurated until after most of the desirable corners of the globe had all ready been acquired by the other great coIonizing powers. notably Great Brit ain. France and Holland. So it hap pens that while Germany's colonial possessions are of vast extent, Occu- pying some 322, 900 square miles in Africa, a large part of this domain is barren desert where white men could not thrive if they tried. But to the kaiser the most disappointing phase of the situation is that his people will have little or nothing to do with their country's possessions beyond the seas Thousands of Germans emigrate from the fatherland every year, but most of them come to the United States and scarcely any go to German Africa.
 The practical failure of the kaiser's attempts to create a white mans Ger many in a black mans Africa is be- ing emphasized just now by the grow ing seriousness of the Herrero rebel lion. This outbreak, which began in the fall of 1903, has already cost the German government about $62,50O,O 900, and there is excellent prospect that it will continue to cost $125,0OO a day for some time to come, for the savages are still far from being beaten. In formation concerning the trouble is very meager, but it appears that the German commander, General won Tro- tha, is carrying on a relentless war of extermination, terrible in it's effect on the natives, but so stubborn is their resistance that the Germans them selves are suffering heavily.
 It seems that the few white settlers in German Southwest Africa, where the warfare is taking place, took pos session of what little good farm land there is. The Herrero tribesmen start ed the war because, as they asserted, their own people were starving while the whites lived amid plenty. At that time there were not more than one thousand German troops in the coun- try, but since then the government has placed no fewer than 14,0O0 men in the field and has recently ordered two cruisers to the coast. The German troops untrained in the savages' methods of guerilla warfare, have suffered terribly. According to the most recent casualty reports, 12O of ficers and SO5 men are dead or miss ing, while 167 officers and 3O3 men have been reported wounded. Includ- ing those who have died of disease the Germans have lost in all about 1000 lives.
 There is vigorous agitation in Germany for the removal of General won Trotha, because of his alleged cruelty. It was learned short time ago that he had issued an order to his troops to kill any HerrerO, man, woman or child. armed or unarmed, found within the frontiers. A storm of indignations was aroused when this order became known in Germany, but it is worthy of note that though the order was issued nearly a year ago, von Trotha is still in command. The case seems to be somewhat parallel to that of General Jacob Smith, of the
