From the Denver Republican.
rne report that the Chicago School
Board is contemplating abolishing vaca-
tions. ON the ground that they AFFORD OPP
portunities for boys to become criminals.
Ia hardly a high compliment 10 the par
ents OF Chicago school children.
The plan Of the Chicago School Board
IL said TO be an all-the-year term in the
congested districts, thus keeping the boys
away from the bad influences with which
they are now said to be confronted in va
cation time. But if Chicago is in such a
bad condition. morally. that IL cannot
give its children the benefit OF a relaxa-
tlon from school duties in midsummer.
then II Is high time the parents them
selves took matters in hand and mended
affairs. School children need every hour
OF the vacation they now have. The
physical strain OF an all-year term would
be more than the average child could
bear. II conditions in Chicago are as
bad as the School Board has painted
then the grown men should be made C

1t would be humilating. TO say IN,

Political Comedy in Europe.

From the Atlanta Journal
England and France are just now
engaged In very pretty sort OF
comedy. Each is telling how much 1t
loves the other. They have been maxi
ing little visits back and forth. The
sailors of the two nations fraternize,
which means that they got spectacu-
larry drunk together and French and
English papers began to talk about
"the real blood brotherhood between
nations having been discovered" The
phrase has a good sound. But like
many other sonorous phrases its exact
meaning is elusive. The history of the
world has shown that Il Is not usually
safe to bank much on the blood
brotherhood business between France
land England. Both France and Eng
land are on pretty bad terms with
Germany just now, and their exceed
ing friendliness has nothing In II much
deeper than that II Is to the interests
of both to be friends. But just LET
