Taft's Talks to Yale Men.

In delivering the first two of series
Of lectures in the Dodge course at Yale,
Secretary of War Taft, speaking of the
effect of college training in political
economy. said 1t was apt to produce a
certainty in Judging the conduct of the
government. Then there was another
emotional class seeking to be governed
that when the college graduate thus
became ':parlor socialist there could
be little sympathy for him. He thought
that the right of property had played
as important part in the develop
ment of the world as the right of per-
sonal liberty, as it had developed CAPT
tai, without which 1--WE should still be
in darkness" His advice to the col
lege man was first to learn the polling
place in his ward and then get ac-
quainted with the people. He thought
there was no objection to a man seek
ing public office if he thought that he
could fill the bill
In his second lecture the secretary
echoed the thoughts of the president
In his ''muck rake" speech by referring
to recent attacks on our social and po-
litical system in the newspapers and
that corruption existed in municipal
and national governments, but that he
thought the muck rakers destroyed the
sense of proportion in general con-
domination of society at large.
Effect of Equal Suffrage.
Professor H E. Kelly, formerly of
the Iowa university, who has been a
practicing lawyer at Denver for seven
years, has now given his opinion of
woman suffrage in a letter to a
friend published by the Woman's Jour
nal. He finds that the great value in
woman suffrage is that it gives dy-
manic force to a fresh and vital inter-
est in the state. He says that the wo-
men are not much concerned with
mere partisan politics, but that. they
are interested intensely in the ques-
tons affecting education, cleanliness,
morality, beauty, charity, etc The wo-
men of Colorado are not politicians in
the common sense and in fact are less
so than they were before the adoption
of woman suffrage. As a class they
are not greatly interested in filling the
offices nor are they office seekers In
Colorado the party leaders give heed to
a committee Of women, whereas in
Iowa such delegation is ignored.
Professor Kelly testifies that, contrary
to some expectations there is no case
on record of family discord originating
in the suffrage and that it is probably
true that families tend to stand to-
gether upon political questions. Vot-
ing has not made the women less beau
tiful as wives and mothers.

IdtiOns. Thess schools are largely at
tended, and as the civil service system
is being gradually extended, the
schools making a speciality of this
kind of work are increasing in number
and in general excellence.
There are over seventy institutions
OF learning of various kinds in Wash
ington at present. and this number is
being constantly augmented 1t is
quite natural that those who have the
advancement of the educational adj
vantages at heart should center their
attention around the idea OF a ma

their several countries. but he cannot
refute the statement that even today
our city occupies a position Of Tenown
as an educational center. and that the
future seems absolutely assured with
respect to enormous development along
the same line.
The public school system of the Dis
trict, which is the fouT4dation OF every
cOmmunity's intellectual activity, is
unquestionably one OF the best in the
country. The pupils are well housed,
the facilities of handling the increas-

various departments is the equal. if
not the superior. of the majority Of

of instructors is comprised of edueat-

With such a well-arranged public
school system il is quite natural that
the child Is given the proper stimulus,
making him thirst for a higher eduea-
ton This desire on the part of the
child, resulting from excellent elemen-

pride and ambition of the parents.

Literary Center

In connection with Washington's ex-
pansion along all lines, the question
arises why this city should not be the
literary center OF the nation instead OF
New York. It is easily seen New York
has gradually gained the ascendency in
the field Of current literature, resulting
from the fact that the great publishing
houses OF the nation are located there.
and for the past half century all Amer

This was not always the case. For
