Carl SchurZ,

i:One Of the busiest lives Of modern
times has Just ebbed out in the last Ill
mess Of Carl Schurz. None of the adopted
sons of America has shown more capac-
ity to grasp the fundamentals OF our
political institutions and none has con-
stributed more to their growth along
|healthy lines than he. Coming to Amer
.ica a political fugitive, who had lost
his standing in his native land thru
his devotion to liberty, he plunged into
the politics of this country when the
slavery debate was coming to head.
He began his political activities as a
German speaker, but soon began to
speak in English and was quickly
RECOGNIZED as one of the most forceful
political orators in the country.
president Lincoln appointed him
minister to Spain, but he resigned to
enter the army in which he rose to the
rank of major general. After the war
he removed to Missouri, where he be-

UP THE SOCIAL LADDER.-There
must be some exhilaratior in climbing
the social ladder, otherwise those not to
the manner born would not find the
thing as diverting. Perhaps it is some
thing like mountain climbing, tho we are
disposed to regard the latter as more
healthful and far less dangerous. The
story of two climbers, widow and her
stepdaughter, is told in The Lady and the
Ladder, by Harrison Garfield Rhodes.
The story Is entertainingly told, and Is
given primarily as story. Nevertheless
it contains hints as to how to climb the
society mountain. The foremost hint Is:
First get your ladder. And that ladder
Is millions. Each million may count for
a round Of the ladder. The more mill
lions, therefore, the higher you may
go, If you are not stingy In their use,
The story in hand is not thrilling. In
deed, it awakens wish that SO much
ability as is displayed by the climbers
had been used for better purposes.

Fairbanks and Roosevelt,

Vice President Fairbanks made an
address recently before church con-
vention in Birmingham, Ala, which has
been heralded as a slap at President
Roosevelt, and direct bid for the
presidential nomination from the con.
servatives.
An examination of the published
summary Of the address fails to sustain
the charge, that there was any intended
attack upon the president. Mr.. Fair
banks discussed socialism and the in
fuence Of the church and expressed the
stock philosophic~ thought that no final
and complete reconciliation. Of labor and
capital is possible thru legislation. Mr.
Fairbanks is not the author of this idea
and there is not public man Of any
consequence who does not agree with
his conclusions. No man Of philosoph'
ic mind looks to laws for the solution of
the problems of civilization. Nine out
of ten do look to the ameliorating in
fuence Of Christianity to supply the
warmth under which obstacles to the
brotherhood of man will be melted
away. g."
In restating these positions Vice
President Fairbanks is merely saying
what every other statesman Of any
standing is thinking and saying. Sec
rotary Shaw only recently put the Sun
day school at the head Of our institu
tions. Former President Cleveland
within week has delivered an address
in which he put the emphasis upo1
Christian charity and fraternity rather
than upon statutes. If any man be
lieves he is getting off the Roosevelt
platform by getting upon an ethica
basis in his economic thought he IS mis-
taken. The president IS square deal il
very much patterned after the injunc
tion to render unto Cesar the thing
that are Cesar's and unto God tn
things that are God s. The presiden
has amplifed his platform to includ
Cesar's duty to render unto mankin'
the things that are common to the vel
fare and safety Of mankind.P Doe
Vice President Fairbanks or any othe
sane man object to that9

DEFENSE FOR THE COUNTRY

A DEFENSE FOR THE COUNTRY
ToWN.-The cry that the country town
Of its best elements has not gone I'M
answered. Wilbert L. Anderson says in
The Country Town, "a study of rural
evolution" that the case Of the country
town Is not only not, hopeless but on
the contrary very hopeful. 1t is
true, he admits, that the country
town loses its pecuniarly prosperous
classes to the city, but it is Also true,
hessays, that the country town is drained
Of its worst elements by the cities. The
latter offsets the former. The great
middle class is left-the middle class
which is the backbone Of any people.
Mr.. Anderson's book is sociological
study worthy of careful examination.

BAD opens with an interesting account
of one Of the most striking features in
American legal history, the famous Judge
Martin Of the supreme court Of Louisiana,
by Pierce Butler, president Of II. SOPHIE
Newcomb college Of New Orleans. Pro-
fessor Joseph H. Beale Of the Harvard
law school gives an interesting account
Of the growth Of the duties of the med1-
eval English innkeeper,E upon which all

Andrew Alexander Bruce, dean OF the law
school of the University Of North Dakota,
writes a suggestive article on Arbitrary
Searches and Seizures as Applied to
Modern Industry An entertaining de-
scription Of An Old-Fashioned Law
Office in London Is contributed from
personal recollection by a former office
boy, George CARING. The rights of pub
lie service corporations to engage in
wholly collateral businesses is. discussed
by Professor Bruce Wyman Of the Har-
ward law school.
The Engineering Magazine for May
opens with a discussion by M. A. Oudln,
of American commercial relations, espe-
cially as relates to the certainty OF fu-
ture need and future search for larger
foreign markets. 1t is pointed out that
the movement will inevitably involve Sc
rious international problems, for which
the United States should in wisdom pre-
pare now by closer attention to economic
ana industrial questions and their solu-
tion. The second article deals with an
other matter Of keen present Importance
the attempt to force, the use OF the
metric system. The author, II. H
suplee, points out the fallacy Of the posi-.
ton of the metric advocates, the enor-
NOUS confusion and expense into which
American industries would be plunged.
