Education Plus Opportunity.

In discussing Mr. Mosely's discov-
cries concerning things educational in
the United States and speaking partic-
ularly of the eagerness of both parents
and children for education clear
through from the kindergarten to the
university. the London Times says:
AS to this last point Mr. Mosely
writes with something like enthusiasm
That the community should be able to
avail itself of all the best intellects, in
whatever social station they may be-
that the capable lad born of poor par
ents should have his foot on the first
round of a ladder by which he may
climb to the highest place in the com
munity; that poverty should not be per-
mitted to nip budding merit is import
ant. 1t is one of the virtues of the
American educational system, with its
rich endcwments, that this promotion
is facilitated.
Alongside of which we set this. taken
from the Lawrence (Kas.) Journal:
CHARLES CURTIS.
Born Topeka, Kas.. January %. 1860.
His mother a quarter blood Kaw IN
dian.
His father an army officer.
At eight years old an orphan.
At fourteen a jockey and newsboy.
At eighteen driving a hack and
studying law.
At twenty-four county attorney.
At thirty-five congressman.
At forty-six United States senator.
And that is America.
The moral is plain enough, namely,
that though our educational methods
help somewhat, the great thing in this
country is that the absence of caste
and class. Would such a career as
that of Senator Curtis be possible in
England, even If England had an exact
duplication of our school system? In
time, of course. the effect of such q
system in that country might be to
break down caste. but a long time
would certainly be required. The fact
that we are able to avail ourselves "of
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1907-03-05

all the best intellects, in whatever
social station they may be" is due
to our willingness to welcome such in
tellect wherever found and TO give it
a fair chance. This, and the chance
that every one has, and the fact that
poverty is no bar to progress. are the
virtues, not primarily of our education
al system, but of our social system of
which our educational system is only
a part.
In England the exact contrary is
true. The people of that country prob
ably do not realize the seriousness of
the discomfort or-Which is Worse-the
pathetic and servile resignation to ex-
listing conditions. Surely it is signif-
cant that one traveller, meeting few
people, and staying only a short time,
should find a half-dozen men that
wanted to set out of the country or TO
get their children out Of it; and this
because there was no chance for a poor
man to rise. One boy of fourteen was
saving his money to pay his passage
to America. One man was found that
was eager to get his boys to America
to be educated because, as he said, the
schools for the poor in England are not
good. This is natural. For with the
growth of the democratic spirit men
will be less and less content to have
their status fixed and defined. They
want to have their chance; want to
rise" as they say. The result will be
that the dullest and least progressive
will stay at home, while the bright. in
tenigent and aspiring will emigrate.
And the result will be bad for the
country.-In News.

A Brain Storm.


The New York Globe thus describes
the mental effect Of constant attend
ance at the Thaw trial.
So, then, it has come about that there
has sprung up in the court room and
about the closely guarded portals, and
in the corridors without, a sort of mild
Madness madness incapable of ex-
act defining, but very real.
The strain upon those who have
spent all these weeks in the court room
has begun to show itself in some friv-
oIous but still very pronounced ways.
Though all are as eager and alert as
before, wanting to catch each circum-
stance as it transpires, they begin to
evidence the truth of the old saw, "A
man can stand only so much"
Imagine a serious man emerging
from the court room where a human
being is on trial for his mortal life
saying to his fellow:
"Psychopathic Pete, how are your
genteel scratches this EVENING""
And then imagine his once equally
serious companion responding:
Brain storm, Bill; my scratches are
all of paranoiac or pazzuzling quality.
You show signs of a fulminatory out
break"
Then at these gentle idiocies they
will chortle like children and YEARLY
walk away.
Because He wouldn't Shave.
Picture a man who announced when
the trial started that he would not
shave until the case went to the jury
walking about the corridors stroking a
shaggy chin growth that threatens to
grow to proportions that Abraham
would have envied. Yet these things
are happening and they are just as
evident as the readiness of the worn
spectators to laugh at the first unusual
thing that may crop up
Weird Mother Goose rhymes with
brain storms" and the various de-
grees and shades of insanity as their
subjects are written during the lulls
and passed about and laughed over as
though they were humorous.
Such a fine old child memory of the
nursery as "Baa- baa, black sheep has
been paraphrased within the week to
read:
Dolphin Delmas, have you any wooli
Vas mum, vas mum, three bags full!
| Not that there is the slightest rea-
son in the rhyme, but just because the
strain of the pathetic, the tragic, the
drab has been so great that the con-
trast becomes silly. One writer of rep
utation has shown his oddly by the
constant accumulation of fresh lead
pencils. Only yesterday he sharpenet
forty-two and filled his pockets til
they bulged. Apparently even then he
was possessed of a fear that they
might not last him through the morn
ing session.
Requests to make a noise like {
systematic delusion." or to give an i'm
itation of a "paranoiac at play" have
been made and the responses have ap
parently pleased and satisfied.
The idiots quadrille" and the i'm
beetles promenade" were among tbs
suggestions that have been made as {
method OF relaxation, but no dancing
master has appeared as yet to take the
matter in hand. Still the trial is no
ended.
The weary. dreary hours drag on
and one thing seems now certain
though the Thaw case has been thu
most sensational in the history of mod
ern murder trials, it will hold the re
cord before it closes, as the most dull
ing cause celebre of modern days.

DAMAGE CASE APPEALED.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has taken an appeal in the case in
which Mike Adams was recently
awarded $3.50 damages for the killing
of his horse and the smashing or his
wagon and harness. Adams Is now
asking $3.50 and all proper relief.

Pessimists point to decreased bank
clearings in support of their contention
that business is declining. But it is
considered significant that in the west
such payments continue to increase.
Neither west nor south is prosperity
abated. Those regions still feel the up
lifting force of four or five successful
years of good crops of grain and cot
ton sold at a tremendous profit. Cur
tailment of the railway expenditures is
the one bad sign bearing on the in
dustrial situation

There are no reasons given for such
declines, but it is sure that confidence
has been severely shaken by the re-
cent disclosures of the Union Pacific
inquiry. The public at large will be
forced to sell what little stock they
have and large banking interests will
commerce to look with more suspicion
at their neighbors and will not be so
ready to enter into any new enter
prise as they previously Were inclined
to do.

A Boarding House Brawl.

Serious trouble ensued last night at
the home of John Broswich who con-
ducts a boarding house on One Hun
dred and Twentyf1rst street. The
trouble originated by Broswich ordering
two boarders, Antonio Fetish and Mat
Devonich from his premises. When the
men were informed of the proprietors
intention, it very much aroused the Ire
of Devonieh who in his anger picked
up a soup plate from the table, intend
ing to hit Broswich, in the excitement
he struck his companion, making a
very severe wound in the head of Fetish
and it was necessary for the attend
ing physician to insert seven stitches.
The men when arrested by officer
Emmel and Desk Sergeant Collins,
showed very little resistance. They
were both put under bonds, which they
furnished and were released.

time to his great historic drama The
Dynasts," is still among the first ia

eighties, and of Desperate Remedies"
which was first published in 1871.
An acquaintance recently asked
Henry James to explain the meaning
of certain passage in his work Mr..
James replied with cold gravity that if
the passage as it stood. which repre-
scented his careful and studied thought,
did not explain itself TO the mans
mind he did not deem it advisable to
enter into any verbal discussion of 1t.
Mr.. James's method of work is a de-
liberate and thoughtful one. He first
dictates the draft of what he is writing
to his secretary, who puts the draft
into typewriter form with wide spaces
between the lines. The author goes
over this carefully with pen and ink
celebrating, interpolating and adding
new ideas and thoughts. Slowly the
sentences and phrases take on the final
aspect toward which he has been work

Argument is made that the drastic
declines of the past sixty days have
resulted in price level that is fairly
attractive. Many stocks Of the invest
ment class which at their high prices
OF last year yielded per cent or less
today return per cent or more. More
stocks of the purely speculative grade
are quoted on a non-dividend basis than
at any time in over two years.

Slow liquidation may probably be in

lawsuits against railroad capitalists

by states all contribute to the depres-
sion.
