A good deal Of comment has been
caused by the statement of John Graham
Brooks that it costs about So. 600 10 bring
up an American boy. OF course, this
means a boy who will have the advan-
tages of college education. and who.
while in college Will be allowed a gen.
erous amount of spending money.

number Of fathers who could afford such

ciably fewer
But we doubt whether the expenditure
Of such a sum Of money is necessary. or
even wise. It is not by such means that
the American boys who have grown into

rived. The best and biggest men that
have been turned out IN America are
those who. as boys. ran barefoot through
the fields and knew the delights Of the

French PolitiealLife

writer in The Boston Transcript de-
scrlbes political progress in the French
republic IN terms that recall criticisms
OF American politics that were somewhat
more common a decade ago than at pres
ent, when optimism is rampant over the
success. real or supposed Of various Do
htical and social reforms. We have tri-
umphed to some extent over the spoIls
system; in France that system is reach
ing its fullest development Appoint

government is far more paternaI than
ours-are all governed by the influence
OF members Of the Chamber Of Deputies
or that Of Ministers and their henchmen.
and political machines exist the country
over that would do credit to the most
skillful Of American politicians. Worse
still, all legislation tends TO some pri-
vate or political end. the public good or
the welfare Of the whole people being
forgotten in the necessity for gaining
votes by popular measures advancing the
interests Of a class or section OF the com
munity. The inevitable result has fol-
lowed in the elimination from politics
of the better element" Frenchmen OF
the higher class keep out Of politics. and
no longer seek administrative posts. The
ministry parcels out Offices to secure
the support Of Parliament for its legis-
lative measures; these appointees owe
allegiance to the deputies-become, in
short, political workers. Here is a pic
ture Of some Of the results:

Colleges and Class.

L is doubtless a worthy ambition OF
President Woodrow Wilson, his avowed
attempt to abolish caste distinctions at
Princeton. and the effort will be watched
with interest by others besides college
men.
At IFS best, Of course. one thinks Of the
university as a purely democratic institu-
ton In this country. if anywhere, that
ideal should come near 10 attainment
But as matter OF fact, it does not
Each college and university has its own
distinctions and differences, and young
men associated together for d term OF
years are bound to separate into groups
Nor is il inevitable that the clubs, fra
ternal societies, and what-not that the
young men form should be reprehenstble.
Indeed, many of them are Of immense
value: they encourage social intercourse
and are helpful to poor students. In col
lege fraternides ties Of friendship are
formed which last through life. In some
colleges where t1e accommodations for
students living are meager, college socie-
ties which. in essence. become cO-opera-
tive societies for providing homes and
board for the students are almost a
necessity.
But what President Wilson is aiming at
more particularly is the group Of rich
young men at Princeton who form clubs
IN which the standard of living main
tanned is high, and which sets an example
Of extravaganza TO the other students.
exciting a desire for emulation in the
wrong direction. In breaking up sucn
groups, however. great care must be exer-
cised. The rich mans son has as much
right 20 the advantages Of college as the
poor mans son, and there is neither
equity nor justice in requiring the student
who can afford to live well to live on a
plane which is limited by the purse Of the
poorer student
We cannot blind ourselves. in spite Of
our democracy, TO the fact that class dis
tincuons are growing up in this country;
they are the inevitable result and out
growth Of social competition Such class
distinctions the college man will have to
face and contend with when he reaches
the outer world, and it may well be taken
10 be a part Of a liberal education that he
should gain knowledge Of this branch OF
social struggle in his early days.
It is evident that the private club in
college has a use-as an object lesson.

TOO MUCH LEGISLATION.

Protest Against Absurdities En-

From the Nashville American.
Without referring exclusively to pro-

a check or there viii be little freedom
left Within the last six months many
laws have been enacted in the South that
are absurd, and in some instances out

clamor. OF the inability to see more than
one side Of a question. The intelligent
freeman does not yield slayish obedience
to INSCRIPTIONS craftsmanship. but party

sibility. exercises a wholesome restraint.
Take ii away and there is chaos. Abolish
parties and there Is political anarchy
which leads 20 worse anarchy. Excess
sive and foolish legislation serves to de-
stroy respect for all legislation. It breeds
contempt for law. The pendulum is
swinging too far, II is likely to swing
farther. But It cannot long maintain
such an unnatural angle, and it will fin
ally swing back into its natural radius.

WHY SOUTH HESITATES.
No Chance for Democrat Who Can

NO Ohance Tor Democrat Who Can
not Gain Bryan's Support.
From the Springfield Republican
As matters stand, no conservative or
''reactionary' Democrat ventures to en-
ter the field for the Democratic nomina-
ton. The South. besOught to start one of
its favorite sons, remains mute and mac
tive. The attacks upon the availability of
Mr.. Bryan in the Southern press are
easily distinguished as coming from news
papers which were hostile TO him in 1896
and 1900, and which found so much to de-
light them in the candidacy OF Judge
Parker in 1904. But no Southern candi-
date appears coming down the pike.
And there is a reason. If the South con-
tains a statesman who would like to be
nominated Tor President. he realizes that
his candidacy would end in abject ruin
at the polls unless he were heartily and
sincerely supported not only by Mr.. Bryan.
but by all OF Mr.. Bryans friends through
out the North. II is easy for New York
newspaper editors 10 sick" the Southern
ers TO take control Of the party by main
force, but there are no Southern candi-
dates willing to incur the enmity of Mr..
Bryan by openly leading the way to sal
walton. Their memory Of Judge Parker's
fate is exceedingly vivid.

Once upon a time there was a little boy
who always took the smallest piece Of
cake.
Mr.. Thompson got in very late. II was
about > o'clock when he stood before his
door, trying for the key-hole with a fun
mel.
Entering. he laboriously climbed the
stairs. He couldn't steer a course across
the upper hall but he could coast along
the wall, so he did that. He reached his
own room. and laid down with his clothes
on.
Meanwhile. Mrs. Thompson slept peace
fully. dreaming sweet dreams.

Those who seek to gain knowledge for
compe itive purposes Of how German
manufacturers do things, should be in
terested in a recent case in Frankfort
There. an Austrian merchant was con-
victed in the Criminal Court at Kon-
stanz, Germany. of htving violated the
law Of illicit competition. He was sen.
fenced to prison for three months. This
foreign merchant. intending to establish
in Austria factory for preserving vege-
tables, went to Singer and approached
the enploye Of factory there. trying 10
induce him to reveal trade secrets. He
offered the man money, gratuities. and
promised him better position In Austria
If he would tell OF processes Of manu-
facture, and where raw materials were
obtained. Some American merchants are
pretty keen about finding out how things
are done in Germany, and the result Of
this case may teach investigators to be
circumspect.
