Am ericanitis


A Chicago preacher is the latest pes
simest. He says we are suffering from
national disease which he calls Am
ericanitis. The symptoms, according
to this preacher, are these:
Fatty degeneration of the conscience.
Too rapid heart beats caused by the
pace Of modern living.
Brain awhirl with money madness.
Let us admit that some consciences
are sluggish and refuse to respond to
the touch. That some hearts beat too
rapidly because of the modern gait;
that some brains are turned by greed
Of gain.
There are others.
The preacher makes the common
mistake of picturing individual cases.
and applying the facts to whole peo-
pie.
Not all Americans have bowed the
knee to Baal. Not all have gone the
pace. Not all are money mad.
In point Of fact the American con
science is keener today than ever be-
fore. Crimes against the people were
committed and winked at twenty years
ago that would horrify humanity today
AS TO the faster pace, that is not
true except in individual cases, and in
cities. The problem of saner living
has been studied as never before. The
advance in whatever makes for health
and comfort and longer life has been
wonderful and justlfies an optimistic
forecast
And neither are all Americans turn
ed by the craze of money getting. The
claim is too sweeping. 1t is false.
The world is getting better-slowly
but surely. Consciences are keener,
life is. saner and heart beats are warm
er than ever before.
Let US change the wording of the
symptoms Of "Americanitis.'
A public conscience that deeply feels
the disgrace of TIE exposures of graft
and dishonesty
A brain that is trying to find cure
for the ills of society.
A heart that quickly responds to the
calls ofhumanity. Milwaukee Journal.
IF the announcement be. true that
Vice President Fairbanks is to make
series of speeches in the Second dis
trict in the interest and company of
Congressman McCleary, then Mr..
Fairbanks serves notice upon Mime
sofa that he does not desire nor expe ct
its electoral vote two years hence.
Mr. Fairbanks must be sufficiently
posted to be aware that the sentiment
of Minnesota, as expressed in every
district, is Numerically
to that represented by Mr..
McCleary, and if the vice president
chooses to indorse the position of the
latter, it is tantamount to the dec1ara-
ton that he opposes the prevalent and
dominant sentiment of Minnesota and
has nothing to wish or expect at its
hands two years from now.

Expenditures Of The State.

There can be no hard and just rule
governing the proper proportionate IN
crease of population and expense OF run
ming the state. This reflection is pro-
voked by the recent assertion Of the only
stalwart running for governor this year,
the estimable and amiable Mr.. AylWard,
that the ordinary running expenses OF
the state government have increased in
in a certain ratio, while the population
has increased in another, ard q
smaller, ratio.
1t may all be as he says, but be that
as it may, the population increases year
Ey year, ard the expenses are not larg-
er than they ought to be. They are, in
deed, a good deal less than they profit
ably might be; for there are some louc
calls for increased facilities for caring
for the prisoners at the state prison; fol
caring for the Predetermined at Chip
pewa Falls, and for caring for the
violent, the epileptic and the criminal
insane of the state; and there is need OF
an expenditure of vast amount OF
money for good roads.
The expenses of a growing state, that
is becoming rich and great at the rate
Wisconsin is, are like the expenses of
family. They grow faster than the fam
lily grows. They grow after the family
has ceased to grow.
The reasons are manifest. The state
while it was poor, did not have the
money to expend that it has now, that
it is rich; and had to economic to
degree that it would not consent to dc
today.
Probably the expenses, as Mr.
Awkward says, have increased faster
than the population; but that is no rea-
son for disappearing the facts, and
what Mr.. Awkward knows to be the facts
if he knows whereof he talks. 1t is no
reason for saying that the increase of
expenditures represents Republican
There are many items Of ordinary
eXpence" that the state did not pay back
in the halcyon days when the people had
to dig down in their pockets for money
to pay their state taxes something
they have not had to do for three years
last past; in the days of good Gov. Peck
of humorous and comical memory. For
instance:
We used $7,541.75 for agricultural
schools in 1904, and none in 1894. Does
Mr.. Awkward object to that? And
would he cut it out from now on?
We gave the Northern Wisconsin
State fair 81, 97O.51, and to the Inter
state fair at La Crosse 50 600 in 1904
and none in 1894. Does he object to
that in increase?
There was an expenditure of $4,000
for manual training in high schools
$50, 236.05 for graded schools main
tanning two and three or more depart
ments. Does the candidates intend to
stop the regular appropriation if he be-
comes governor. 1t all represents an
increase over 1891.

PICKED UP AT SEA
Ten Men Taken From Ship When
Near Death

NEW YORK, Jan, l5,-The American
line steamer st. Paul, which arrived
tonight from Southampton and Cher
bourg, brought Capt. Shepard and
crew of nine men Of the bark Edward
MaybeTry, which was abandoned at sea
December 10 when $50 miles east OF
Cape Hatteras. The men Of the May
berry'S crew were rescued by the
American bark Stalia, and were landed
at HavTe.
According TO Capt. Shepard. his crew
were for four days In practical mutiny.
When the Mayberry became unman-
ageable on December 10 the crew ne
groes shipped in the South collected a
butt of water. some pork, -four and
beans and carried them to the top of
the dacknouse. Later four OF the ne
groeS declared that they were going to
desert the ship. Capt. Shepard pulled
his revolver and announced that he
would shoot the first man who attempt
ed TO take the boats.
"On the night of December 12," says
Capt. Shepard II knew they had de-
cided to murder me, They continually
followed my movements. keeping as
near me as possible. I did not get a
wink OF sleep. but sat and watched
them as best | could, revolver In hand.
You can imagine our position when l
tell you tha. the sea was continually
making a sweep over us"
on December IA they were reduced to
one small bottle af water. and this the
captain guarded on December Is, in
latitude SO 0S, longitude II 10. they were
sighted by the Stala. bound from Hon
duras to Havre. The vessel ran down
near the bark and the captain sienaled
that IL was too dark for a rescue but
that he would stand by during the
night. On the morning OF December 16
they were taken OFF

CHILDREN ARE BEING
WRECKED BY STUDY
System of Education Makes
Many Colonies of Nervous
Wrecks.

CHICAGO Jan. 15.-The Rev. z. A
Paddock. president of the Idaho Indus
trial institute, addressed the co-opera-
tive class at the First Congregational
church of Evanston yesterday and
urged that students be required TO de-
vote at least half of the day to learning
a trade.
System All Wrong.
It believe that the social disorders
which are prevalent in this country to-
day arise from the fact that our syS-
tenn OF education Is all wrong" he de-
clared. The child is taken from Its
mothers knee and placed In the pri-
mary department and kept there a
short time. and then rushed and
jammed into grade after grade until he
finishes the high school He then goes
TO college, and the same old routine Is
followed That Is the finished product.
Colony of Nervous Wrecks.
1T $ an individual OF great intellect.
perhaps. but one who is absolutely use
less if compelled to make living with
his hands. Our system of education has
given us a colony OF nervous wrecks.
You will find them in your asylums,
which cannot be built fast enough to
supply the demand. What is the mat
ter?
Remedy Proposed.
Simply this, that we are training
one faculty only and sacrificing the
others. The remedy is to be found in
a half-time school where the student
will be kept half day at his books
and taught some trade during the
other half. In such a school the stu
dent would have a more rapid intel
lectual growth than In the public
schools. Moreover. there is a beneficial
mental process In doing manual labor.
If q student We're made to work he es-
capes that feeling OF aversion for those
who toll Education creates caste. The
half-time school would arouse whole
some respect for fellow-workers.
Half-Time System.
The half-time system would cause
moral development. Today we have a
most insane unsound and unreasona- =
BILE labor problem A limited number
of apprentices are permitted to learn
the trades But should the trades be
taught in educational institutions. this
practical monopoly would be impossl-
