favored leaders control it. 1t gets Sc
after time, that such leaders would
not know a popular conviction if they
we're run over by it.
Much Of this blindness comes from
supposing that rich men and their mon
ey are all essential in keeping up q
party. The railroads and other corpor-
ations spent money like water, over q
million dollars, to defeat La Toilette
the last time he ran for governor. Over
$4,000 stalwart republicans voted a
gainst him and most of the democratic
leaders in the state were the secret
friends of the stalwart faction. And
then he was elected by over 30, 900 plu-
ralty. Was there ever clearer case
of the value of keeping "close to the
people?" But most politicians and
leaders do not make study Of the pop
ular WILL They study how to mislead
and deceive the people while they take
the rake Off" for their own benefit.
This is done by getting control of
party organization and then piously
telling the voter he must stand true to
the party. That means two points for
the politician to one for the voter. But
the people are getting wise. They know
what is true and what is false. In one
thing however, they are slow to per-
ceive. That is, when the reformer
ceases to be reforner and commences
to grasp after power. Reformation of
government must come through politics,
and yet it is through politics that the
reformer forgets his mission and be-
comes a mere politician. Amid it all,
however, the cause of the people, the
promotion of constitutional liberty and
honest government, is steadily growing,

W. l.. BoDINE, Superintendent of
Compulsory Education, Chicago, recent
" stated that he had sent LOIS boys
to the Parental School. Eighty per
cent of those who were habitual tru-
ants were addicted to cigarettes. His
statistics prove that cigarettes create
the backward pupil and from the ranks
of the backward pupil we get most Of
our habitual truants. Out of the en-
tire ,0l5 boys only l45 were up in their
grades. One hundred and forty boys
came from the sixth grade, -four from
the seventh and one from the eighth.
The few boys who were in these grades
did not smoke cigarettes. Evidently, if
the use of cigarettes by boys is to be
prevented, work in this direction must
be begun very early by home and school.
