THE ART OF SEEING.
Study the World and Get an Educs-
tiOn by Absorption.

\ tion by Absorption.
lohn Wanamaker was once asked to
invest In an expedition to recover
| doubloons from the Spanish main
which for half a century had lain at
| the bottom OF the sea In sunken frig-
ates.
Young men," he replied, II know Of
better expedition than this right
here. Near your own feet lie treas
ures untold. You can have them all
by faithful study.
Let us not be content to mine the
most coal, to make the largest locomo-
tives, to weave the largest quantities
of carpets, but amid the sounds Of the
pick, the blows of the hammer, the rat
tie of the looms and the roar Of the
machinery take care that the immortal
mechanism of Gods own hand-the
minds still full trained for the high
est and noblest service
The ignorant man Is always placed
ut great disadvantage. No matter
how much natural ability one may
have. If he Is ignorant he is discount
ed. 1t Is not enough to possess ability;
1t must be made available by mental
discipline. We ought to be ashamed to
remain in ignorance in a land where
the blind, the deaf and dumb, where
even cripples and invalids, manage to
get good education. The trouble Is
that many youths throw away little
opportunities for self culture because
they cannot see great ones, and they
let the years slip by without any spe-
cial effort at self Improvement until
they are shocked in middle life or
later by waking up to the fact that
they are still ignorant of what they
ought to know.
1t Is not absolutely necessary that an
education should be crowded into a
few years Of school life. The best
educated people are those who are
always learning. always absorbing
knowledge from every possible source
and at every opportunity. I know
young people who have acquired a bet
ter education, finer culture, through
habit Of observation or carrying book
or article in the pocket to read at odd
moments or by taking courses in cor
respondence schools than many who
have gone through college. Youths
who are quick to catch at new ideas
and who are in frequent contact with
superior minds not only often acquire
personal charm. but, even to a re-
markable degree, develop mental
power.
The world is q great university.
From the cradle to the grave we are al
ways in Gods great kindergarten,
where everything is trying to teach
US its lesson, to give us Its great Sc
cret. Some people are always at school.

how to use their eyes. They 60 through
the world with q superficial glance at

REPUBLICAN KETTLE OF FISH.

You're another and "you're an
other is in substance the expressions in
retort of Roosevelt and of Hartman in
the stirring Of the Republican kettle OF
fish by T. II. Hartman, who would con
troll. if he could. not only all the rail
roads in the United States, but would
be the dictator, the absolute authority
over the nation known throughout the
world as the United States.
1t would appear. from the publicity
given to letters written by Hartman
that he was being consumed by his am
hition to secure the seat of United States
Senator Depew Of New York. who was
to have been sent to Paris as the repre-
sentative of this government, but hl-
well laid scheme was frustrated and he
failed to secure the prize he sought. In
his wall of disappointment he admits
that he subscribed fifty thousand dollars
to a two hundred thousand dollar con
tributiou 10 the Republican campaign
fund in 1904. which was used III the cleo
ton of Roosevelt hy influencing fifty
thousand voters in New Norl, from
Parker to Roosevelt.
1t will he recalled that Judge Parker
the candidate Of the Democratic party
for President. charged that the elector-
ate in New York was beng corrupted
III the interest Of the Republican candi-
date, which aroused Roosevelt to :
vitrioiic denuncIation of this declara-
ton. afterwards established beyond {
doubt by the developments in the New
York Life Insurance scandals. In the
admission of this contribution of fifty
thousand dollars by Hartman to- The
Republican campaign fund is confirmed
the deplorable and demoralizing candl-
ton through which the Republicans have
triunphed by the power of money.
unwittingly Hartman has laid bare
the methods of party which should be
relocated into oblivion. In the stirring
of this political kettle of fish the odor Is
strong and smells to the clouds. and it is
to be hoped that the people. self-respect-
full. fair and honest will determine on a
change Of party, responsible in great
measure for the political debaucl1ery OF
men and of principles.

CAN A LOUISIANA MEMBER OF
CONGRESS RUN FOR THE
GOVERNORS OFFICE.

This query, as headline to a political
article in the New Orleans States of
April 2, is significant. Is it aimed at
Congressman Broussard?
Broussard is the only member of Con
gress from Louisiana with known aspi-
rations for the Office of Governor.
The States quotes the Constitution of
1870 which requires the resignation of
such candidate six months before the
election. The Constitution of 1870 Is as
dead as a dried herring and is of no eff
feet.
The States quotes from the Constitu-
ton of 1893 whose application is nope
rative in a primary election for the nom
nation of Governor and other State of
hcials or senators and congressman.
The language of the Constitution is
clear and distinct and requires the re
signation of such a candidate, if CON
gresham, SIX months preceding regu-
lar election; therefore, if Congressman
Broussard or any member of Congress
from Louisiana would list i'll a primary
election for the nomination 10 the Office
of Governor, there is no law which
would nullify such nomination, but the
nominee, if a congressman, would be re-
qulred to resign such position within six
months before the regular election.
The suggestion of Federal supervision
i'll congressional election wetsld not
apply in the nomination of congress
man or the nomination of congressman
for Governor or other State Offices by
the primary methods, any more than
such supervision would be permitted III
a nominating convention. The primary
is intended to nominate directly by the
people as against the convention manip-
ulation and combination.
1t is evident that in this instance the
States is borrowing trouble unneces-
Sariy.
