True Education of Children
By the Lord Bishop of Ripon

By tn Lord Hhop Of lpon
aw HE social tendencies Of the time are developing more and
more the social conscience.
It is felt that q wise and understanding people should
make the best possible provision for the upbringing of the
next generation.
The children of today will be the strength and in a great degree the
directing force Of the nation tomorrow.
Let us see to it that they are fitted for the high duties which will
fall in their hands. The education problem needs intelligence and care
in every direction. Il srar9 NJ seal
WE NEED TO CONSIDER THE RELATIONS OF BODILY HEALTH
We need to consider how far general rules and regulations intended
to foster effective education may in the end CRIPPLE AND HAM,
PER IT.
We recognize that some code IS probably necessary. Teachers are
human and are not all equally gifted, and for the least capable, intelli-
gent and original teachers the existence of certain regulations may be
desirable and even needful.
But there are other teachers, and they are more numerous than
the brains tight bound with red tape would suppose, whose real effec-
tive force is weakened and crippled by the tyrannous monotony of the
time table.
When a general is in the field you will, if you are wise, give him
as free a hand as possible e, if "you' are possessed of average COM
mon sense.
A teacher is n a sense a general in the field. He has to deal with
conditions which can hardly be anticipated by those who draw up
CODES N REGULATIONS. We know only too painfully how
often the well meant rules by which he is bound are inAictng definite
and lifelong injury on the children, yet he has no option. He must
fulfill the prescribed routine, WHETHER APPROPRIATE OR
NOT. Any attempt at originality or at wise variation in methods is
looked upon with suspicion. The theory in vogue IS sometimes hostile
to healthy freedom of method.

to guide the builders. In this re-
spect Perth Amboy is away behind
her sister cities.
To restrict the class of buildings to
be put up here has always been look
ed upon as a hardship upon the
small investor of whom there are
many in Perth Amboy. In order
that the man with little savings
might be permitted to build, no build
ing code has been adopted. As a re-
suit every man has built to suit him
self.
The penalty comes now. The man
who has invested his earnings in a
tenement house, erected as cheaply
as possible, in order to keep within
his means, finds he must build all
over again at a greatly increased ex-
pense. 1t would have been much
more charitable to have restricted
that man in the first place and have
compelled him to build according to
an accepted standard, conforming
with the law, or else prevented him
from building at all.
The city needs a building code not
only to protect itself, but to protect
those who are about to build. The
EVENING NEWS sounded the warn
ing several years ago. 1t was ignored
and now comes the penalty. 1t VIII
be a severe lesson, but it is to be
hoped the city will profit by it and
will adopt a building code and estab-
lish some sort of a building depart
ment before other investors get burnt
by having too much liberty in this re-
gard.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20.
JACKsoN's

The fact that w. H. G. Jackson
has become the regular republican
nominee for state senator does not in
the least change the stand the EVE
MING NEWS has taken in regard to
him. We believe him a mere repre-
sentative of Theodore Strong, holding
his seat in the state senate because
the state constitution will not allow
Mr.. Strong to be senator and hold
the position of state assessor at $2,-
500 per year at the same time. Sena-
tor Jackson has served the bosses
and corporations faithfully during
his past term and his record bears
out just what the EVENING NEWS
predicted three years ago when he
was a candidate. The NEWS oppos-
ed him then, we we're against him
In the recent primaries, and we do
not intend to support him now
In taking this stand, the EVENING
NEWS in no way involves the For
dyce movement, neither does any ac-
ton on the part of the Fordyce fol-
lowers affect the EVENING NEWS.
This newspaper supported the indie
pendent cause as any independent
newspaper would support any cause
opposifg bossism and corruption,
and. Ne would rather lose standing
for what we believe to be right than
to win and know we were wrong.
The democrats have an excellent
opportunity to win this fall. 1t large

NNo Catastrophe
Is Inevitable
By MAURICE MAETERLINcK. socioIosist
Philosopher'and Dramatist

~ ERHAPs it is not surprising THAT INSTINCT saves us
from great dangers, habituaiand immemorial; from the
NA 81 water. the fire, falls, shocks, animals. 1t evidently has
had habfhhon with then-an ATAWIC EXPERIENCE
m Herewith which explains its agility. But what is marvel
ous 4 te ease. the promptness with which it acquaints itselff with the
most complex and the most nwontedti inventions of our intelligence.
It sufGces to show at once the,mechanism, the usage and We end of
the most unlocked for machine, however strange and useless it may
be TO mr. real and primitive needs, and it understands. Henccforth
in fine of need it viii know the last secrets andHhe BEST MANIPU-
LATION that intelligence can devise.
This is why, however novel, however recentor however formidable
he the instrument, it may be,affrmed that IN PRINCIPLE THERE
IS NO INEVITABLE CATASTROPHE. The subconscious
always, in point of fact, is at the top of all imaginable situations.
Between the chops of the sea OF on the mountain top, one can, one
should await the decisive movement of instinct which has resources IS
inexhaustible as the universe or\as nature.
Inequalities of instinct, which, pertain rather tothe promptness Of
the appeal than to the quality of the aid, manifest themselves at all
accidents. Place two automobiles in two parallel dangers exactly
identical, ONE WILL ESCAPEa H OTHER BE BRUISED.
In a carriage accident, of six persons three will act too inteligently,
the other three will save themselvessby actions that utterly are indie
feasible on the grounds of reason. Can the instinct be educated?
This would require special study. Inbthe interim it may be remarked
and systematic use of the material for.es of nature, of all those cnor-
nous things which we term nature, I'VE INCREASE THE DIS
TANCE that instinct has to cover incoming to our aid. This dis
tance, inapprecabe among the savages, the simple, the humble, aug
ments with every step taken by our education, our civilization.
AM PERSUADED THAT WE'RE WE TO sURPaoE A PEASANT,

Honesty Is the Best Politics
BY Governor JOSEPH w. FOLK of Missouri

BY CovHnoFJ JOSEPH w. FOLK Of MISSOURI
@&WHE man who violates the law is neither a Democrat nor a Re-
publican. HE is A RASCAL. And as such he ought to
be prosecuted. Politicians today are beginning to realize
that honesty is the best POLITICS, as well as the best
POLICY. 1t is now generally conceded that a rascal is a rascal still,
whether he calls himself a Republican OF a Democrat.

THE TENEMENT INSPECTION.

There is nc doubt but that the ac-
tivities of the Tenement House Com
mission in this city will mean much
hardship for many property owners
1t was well known when the tenement
Mouse law was passed that there were
many places in this city that did not
conform with it, and it is only a Won
der that the commission did not have
its inspectors here before.
Now that they have come, there is
nothing to do but submit. The law
is plain and the commission has a
reputation for enforcing it to the let
ter. The landlord who disobeys is
completely at the mercy of the com
mission for If he does not conform
with the law after a sufficient num-
i Der of warnings the attorney general
of the state will commence action to
have his house closed and no one will
l@e allowed to live in it.
While this means much expense to
some local property owners, there is
really no one to blame. 1t merely
shows the necessity of having a build
ing code and regulations in this city

THE WINTERS ENTERTAINMENT

With the approach of the winter
months with the long evenings,
thoughts naturally urn to IL

which entertain and instruct. 1t is
gratifying to note that plans are
now being perfected for musical
treats of the highest standard and
other events are bound to follow as
the season approaches.
1t should not be difficult to find
enough subscribers to sustain the
proposed symphony orchestra which
is now being formed. This city is
noted for its lovers of music. 1t has
had numerous musical organizations
and they have all been a credit to the
place. Every concert given by these
societies has been literally patroniz-
ed because the people here love mu-
sic.
There is little doubt as to the sue
cess of the Perth Amboy symphony

an excellent one. With fifty pieces

Gold quartz strikes are being made everywhere in the vicinity of the north end of Lypn canal In addition to the strike at Mount Ripins&y there has been a strike on the Cbilkat river aoout one mile above Hindostucki and one about two miles above the Columbia eannery on Chilkoot inlet. Fifteen locations have been recorded on the Mt. Ripinsky strike at the office of the United States court commissioner at Skagway and it is said there have been many more than that staked and not yet recorded. There have not been so so many recorded on the HindOstuki strike. though it is said there have been good many staksd. R. o. Leonard, superintendent of the Columbia can nery and Herman Richter, proprietor of the U. s. hotel, of Skagway, have claims on the Chilkoot lode. It is said, also, and there have been other sta&ings there, but they have not been sent in for record. The people of Haines look upon all these discoveries with favor. It is believed that within the not dis tant future there will be a good quartz camp at that place.-Alaskan.

ABOUT GALE

Thomas Gale, elected to represent the Territory of Alaska in the 6Oth congress, is native of Underhill, Yer mout, where he was born September l7, lS4S, says the Skagway Alaskan. He secured a thorough common school education in the schools of his native state. In 1869, upon reaching his ma jority, following the advice, of Horace Greedy, be started west, located at Fond du Lac, Wis, where he spent the major portion of his life time, and where he reared family.
 Mir. Gale was in business in Fond dn Lac much oEhis early life. fu 1883 he was chosen by his fellow citizens to be member of the board of county sup ervisors. He was reelected in 1884 and again in 1885. In 1886 he was nominat- ed by the republican party of his county for sheriff and elected. After serving two terms as county sheriff he was chosen to be clerk of the court of Fond du Lac county.
 The panic of 1893 claimed Mir. Gale as one of it thousands of victims, and he started farther west, seeking new op- portuuities. The Klondike stampede carried him to Dawson after he had spend some time in the Dakotas and Montana. He passed through Skagway in 1898 and arrived at the Klondike metropolis in the fall of that year.
 For five years Mir. Gale eourted the goldenRoddess with varied success in the Klondike, prospecting when he had the money and working for wages when broke.
 The Fanana Strike called Mr. Gale back to, the domain of his native coun- try in 1908, since which time be has been an Alaskan. There, as at Dawson, Dawson, he prOspected for gold and developed claims he had located when he had money and worked for wages and cut cord wood for stake when he had not sufficient money to permit him to continue prospecting. He 6nally located property which he believes will make him fortune when he shall have disposed of the litigation which always follows the discovery of pay in Alaska.
 Alter protraGted deadlock between Mir. Collins and Mir. Roman the conyen- tion of the Tanana Miners Association nominated Mir. Gale for delegate to congress on the 18th ballot last May. He almost immediately set out on campaign which covered the entire district with the exception of the pre-. eiucts and towns out at the Westward. He has been successful by an over whetming majority.
 In politics Mr. Gale is @ democrat A Bryan democrat" he says. He was always a republican until 1896 when he followed thousands of others out of his party for the Nebraskan. Since then he has always claimed allegiance to the democratic party but he had nothing to do with politics.
 MT. Gale would meet the require ments of President Roosevelt on the question of race suicide. He has family of seven children-four sons and three daughters-who are living in Wisconsin and prospering. The sons are in business there.
 Mir. Gale will take bis seat in con- gress at the first. session after March {, 1907. If there shall be no extra session tha: will be on the tiyst Monday in De- Gember, 1907.

Capt. Hartman of the signal corps will leave Monday morning to super intend the construction of the govern ment telegraph line along the new cut off to Fairbanks. The line is being built by the regular troops, a company of the Third Infantry having gone in from Fort Liscum and another com pany from the same regiment coming up from Fort Gibbon. The telegraph line will follow practically the new trail which has been cut out by Capt. Pillsbury of the road commission. It leaves the Copper River in the vicinity of Gulkana and cuts across to the head of the Delta and down that stream. The men who will build this trail are now on their way in, in charge of Jack Ingraham. The telegraph line will probably be completed within few weeks as the soldiers are working on it from both ends, the company from Gi6bon starting in at the mouth of the Delta. When completed both com panies of soldiers will come out to Valdez over the trail and will leave for the states to join their regiment.-Val- dez News.

Only Beaten By One

While most AriZonans are aware that Arizona stands second in the list of rich copper producers in the union, a great many are probably not famili ar with the fact that in total mining wealth Arizona also ranks second only to Montana, and produced about l0,- O00,O0OS more from her mines last year than Colorado, about double as much as was produced in California, 12,0O0, OO0S more than Michigan, says an Ari- zona paper.
 California and Colorado are the richest gold producing states in the union and many one would answer without hesitancy if asked what is the richest mining state in the union, California or Colorado.
 John Q. A. King who takes as much interest in the territory and especially her mines, as any other man in it, has been doing a little figuring lately. Arizona mines produced 44,6O9,0OGS last year; Michigan produced 34, 75O,- OOOS, Colorado 34, 339, ,OOOS and Califor- nia 2l, ,0S2, ,000S. Arizona produced more copper alone than any of the other states produced from all their mines with total of 39,O35, ,OOOS. Arizona produced 3,5OO,O ,OOOS in gold and silver 2,O74,OOOS
 Michigan produced 34,699,OOOS in copper and 77,OOOS in silver. Color ado mines yielded up 25,333,OOOS in gold, .7,75O, ,OOOS in copper and l,25O,- OOOs in silver, while California pro- duced 17,5O2, ,OOOs in gold; 3, l45, ,OOOS in copper, and 535, ,00OS in silver.
 It will be seen that the value of the copper produced in Arizona was more than the combined wealth produced by the famous gold mining states of California and Colorado and was more than twice as much as the combined silver and copper production of the two states put together.
 These figures, in face of the fact that Arizona's mines are in the in- fancy of their development, recalled to M. King the prediction made to him a couple of years ago by Colo rado mining man who has tramped and ridden over the mineral land of the whole continent. He said that when Arizona was developed as ex- tensively as Colorado. she would be the foremost of all the mining states of the land, not excepting Montana, which last year produced 52,OO0,0OOS worth of coppe. alone. She would be so far ahead of them that this terri tory's wealth would stagger the world. His prediction was made after trip through a considerable portion of the territory.
