Should these words be prophetic of the
aim OF his life they are, indeed, signif-
cant.
When he met his ministers OF state,
and made his formal speech, he said:
Il am very young. and L have no ex-
perience. and beg of you to help me to
do whatever may be right and best Cor
my country" And so the boy laws
aside the Observation-Disclosures of youth,

Astronomy Japanned

Hashimura Togo, the droll Japanese
schoolboy whose entertaining letters
are being published in Golfers. has In
his latest outbreak taken up the sub
ject of astronomy. and in particular
'the Hon. Mars" and the question of
the inhabitability of the red planet
When, according to his custom, Togo
drops into poetry. his musings take the
following form:
Twinkle. twinkle, little Mars,
How l am mistaken to understood you!
So far removal
That you are wholesomely educative
to Hashimura Togo,
If nothing else.
Isn't there not something about Stars
Similar to Ladies'?
1 bet it there isl
Sometime, by watchful gloom-time
Loving gentleman sit to watch for come
of Fiancee.
He look All,
She is reproaching with light feetsteps,
He feel so exclamitory-
Then, of suddenly,
When she is so near as to be more accu-
rately inspect by eye,
That lover seems mistook;
SO disjunctivel
Alast!
1t is not her of which he waited
1t is some other else
Wearing similar ostrich in her hat.
She is maidenly, but elderly.
That lover reverences her respectfully,
But he is considerable quiet about it.
Good evening, Miss Murphy he say,
Then make fudge exclamation in deep
breath
And depart by trolley-ride.
Are you like them things 1 told, Mr..
Mars?
Are you more suitable for astronomy
Than for farming?
Are you nice for telescopes,
But poor land for potato-grow?
inquire.
Twinkle twinkle, little Mars,
| demand you this:
Reply with some intelligence to answer
about yourself or else 1 am sus-
picious.
Can you guarantee them Canals
To be entirely
Antiseptic? No malaria. no mosquitoes?
Good place for Japan American Annual
Picnic?
If you have not got no Oceans,
How can you enjoy
Naval battles, sea-illness, whales
And all summer amusements Nwhat
proper persons require to be good
healthy?
If 1 should go to there, Mr.. Mars,
Would you give me contract
For steady job?
Could 1 have s nday off, please?-
Or don't you enjoy them holidays?
Could I have evening-time
To study piano-play
And works of Darwin, Huxley & Jack
London?
Could l have good bright room with
eam-pipe in winter
And warm bathroom for splunge?

mills, factories, mines, offices and
stores. The children now play a part
in the industrial economy of the ma
tion, even as the presidents message
indicates, but the educational economy
of the nation has been neglected so
grossly that the damage can only be
repaired, as far as it may be repaired
by years of a constructive and recon-
structive work. 1t cannot be repaired
completely. We have nationally al
ready incurred the penalty Of having
an extraordinarily large addition to the
ranks OF unframed and sparsely edu-
Gated voters. In many countries to
deprive a population of educational ad-
vantages is merely folly. The ignorant
masses have no power and no voice.
They are dumb driven cattle. In the
United States. to deprive the population
of educational advantages is madness.
1t is a sowing of the wind, from which
assuredly we may reap the whirlwind,
because the uneducated man is the
man of easily swayed mind and snap
Judgment, in whom prejudices may be
created readily and appealed to with
sure response.
Some good people may think that a
remedy is already in process of
application. They may believe tina.
the Presidents message is already hav-
ing a beneficent effect on the actualities
which incurred his censure. But the
presidents Democratic recommends
tions and suggestions can be put into
effect only by Democratic president
and a Democratic administration. The
evils created by Republicanism cannot
be cured by Republicanism. And mere
ly to express an opinion. although the
spokesman be the highest official in
the land, does not effect the reforms
which MUST be effected without de-
lay If the republic is to live peaceably
and prospereusly. If for no higher
reason than self defense it is the duty
of the citizens of the United States to
and the restoration of Jeffersonian
Democracy to the Democratic party.

A story that Thackeray would have
loved to expand into a novel is that
of the young actress who married an
acquaintance because she thought he
was the son of a millionaire. He talked
constantly of high society, was able to
give the names of the distinguished
persons who attended mammals cotil-
lions and papas-what is the fashion,
able name for male blowouts. anyway?
We'll. whatever they may be called, this
Lothario was always able to describe
them with more detail than any society
reporter. Charmed by visions of a
golden future in which she would shine
among society's stars. the brightest of
the bright, the actress became Mrs.
Chalmers, only to find that Chalmers
was the valet and not the son of a
wealthy man. The poor, stung thing
is suing for divorce.

EDUCATIONAL ECONOMICS

HN HAT President RooseVelt's message
was partly inspired by his knoWl-
u edge of educational economics in
the United States there can be no
doubt. To Los Angeles Herald ALONE
of all the papers west of the Rockies
was left the task of making the public
aware of the significant fact that the
government had become so alarmed
over persistent reports of American ed
pointed a special commissioner to make
a thorough investigation. His report
was published recently by the govern
ment Its frank title frankly stated
that it dealt with the ELIMINATION
Of pupils from the public schools, and
no doubt Theodore Roosevelt, both as
a family man and as patriot was
deeply stirred by the nationally morti-
flying revelations of that report. AS
we have pointed out before, it showed
that whereas at one time, before the
country was afflicted with a long Re-
publican reign in which continuance in
power dulled the Republican party's
sense of responsibility, the United
States was easily the leader of the
nations in popular education, today it
occupies the fifth place, being as far
as percentage about on a footing with
Spain, The absence of children from
the higher classes in public schools
ana from the high schools was ac-
counted for by their Imprisonment in

The Penrose bill is dead. This OBJ
noxious and un-American measure was
designed to give the postmaster general
power to shut out of the mails per-
manently any publication which he
deemed improper. This country will
never be ripe for autocracy and will
never tolerate fCaesarism. That evil
measures should be detected promptly
and that public opinion should be able
to suppress them should inspire con-
fdence in the unfailing ultimate COM
mon sense Of the American people, in
office or at the polls.

be feared, rather than of what I fear"
After all, 1t is hardly likely that the
Democratic party will have the sense
to nominate johnson, or that, If 1t had
the sense, Bryan is not unselfish
enough to allow the delegates to do so.
But even so, this tall, clear-eyed. clean
handed and -blooded American,
with the glamor of romance about him,
the good ring of his honest name and
the wild-hearted devotion Of the people
of his blood flaming on his pathway-he
rises on the dreary horizon of politics
as q welcome relief.

It is alleged that the police intimi-
dated witness into making an untrue
confession of burglary. Police inquisi-
ton, said witnesses in the Lexow in
vestigation in New York, frequently
sent innocent men to prison on their
own false confessions. We are too apt
to accept confessions as gospel truth.
''He has confessed the crime" is the
equivalent of a verdict! We should
take into account the power of sug-
gestion and of intimidation, actual or
implied.
