GEORGIA

A NONG the impressions which that
distinguished Hearstian hot-air
IA artist, ]. Temple Graves, is trying
to convey during his talking tour is
this: That Georgia, the state which for
many years he honored by his presence,
is politically doubtful"
AS matter OF fact, the Doodle Dees'
presidential ticket win not get a single
vote in Georgia. 1t can't. In that
state the ID. DIS have no electoral
ticket. The man whom they nominated
for governor is supporting Mr.. Bryan,
and nothing mundane Is any more cer-
tain than the success of the Democracy
in Georgia.
Why Mr.. Graves should make such
an extraordinary and erratic statement
regarding Georgia would be puzzling
if it were not explained by the we'll
known fact that the Hearst campaign
ers are under general instructions to
claim like fury and prevaricate like
Munchausen. After all, it is natural
that yellow Journal campaign should
be marked by the prevailing character
istics of yellow journalism.

Our Jury System If1tLicts
HardShipS on Innocent Men

to try Is accused OF bribery, and we are
to have the grotesque and shameful
spectacle of seeing him tried by twelve
men whom the court assumes to be viii
lains who will, II they can, commit the
very crime of which they are to try
another Is 1t not absurd? Can we do
justice by doing injustice? Can we
prevent crime by tempting to commit
crime? And do we not know that our
methods of criminal procedure daily
lead men who would prefer to be truth
full to swear to any state of mind
whatever to escape this prolonged in
generation and justify themselves by
saying that they perjure themselves
under duress and in terror of prison
IL they tell the truth
And the worst of it is that the jury
men whom these judges declare un-
worthy of trust were deliberately se-
lected from the body of the people by
the very judges who send them to jail
lest they accept bribes. More than that,
they are kept in confinement for these
intoAerable periods because the same
judges will not exercise their authority
and maintain the dignity of their courts
by stopping the waste Of time by send
ing the wrangling, pettifogging lawyers
on both sides to jail until they behave
themselves.
There are things which society has no
moral right to demand of citizens, and
among those things is to be sent to jail
for months for no crime whatever, and
not even allowed to get release on bail.
Surely our criminal procedure needs
reformation.

HERALD, JUNIOR

MYTH this issue of The Herald q
wv supplementary publication which
is certain to be popular makes
its first appearance. We heartily COM
mend the Herald Junior" to all our
readers, young and old, little and big.
1t is edited by an expert in human
nature in the making" it's contributors
are all able writer's, and all who are
familiar with The Heralds cartoons, by
far the best and most original published
on the Pacific coast, will be delighted to
see that Mr.. Barnett has a brand new
idea, cartoon built" especially for
the juveniles. Boys and girls relish
cartoons more keenly and understand
them more sympathetically than grown
up people, yet to have an artist draw a
real cartoon, not a baby picture or
nursery sketch, but a regular cartoon,
for youngsters is a refreshing and de-
lightful novelty.
The editor of The Herald Junior hopes
many children will send letters. Not
merely for the sake of the small money
prize offered, but because of the edu-
cational value of writing original let
ters, we advise all our younger read
ers to "get the habit" The genial and
kind-hearted editor of Herald Junior
will always be glad to hear from boys
and girls, and will give them a square
deal. Every week the best letters will
be printed and prizes awarded.
For the sake of the children, parents
should become interested in The Herald
Junior, and suggestions or criticisms
by them will be welcomed. The Herald
Junior is well edited, well written, well
printed. 1t is full of good ideas, but,
like Oliver Twist, who should be well
known to our young readers, Herald
Junior will always want 'more,"
Don't forget to let us know what you
think of the first number of Herald
Junior. We will not say all we think Of
it. We have very decided opinions on
the subject. but will not put them all
into print, lest we make the able editor
of Herald Junior vain, which would be
sad.

q TX more innocent men have been
N condemned by a judge of our
~ superior court to Incarceration for
an indefinite period. and their feelings
insulted. their business damaged, and
their families outraged by the plain IN

The iniqulty of this procedure is
atrocious. To catch this first six VIC

that the other six will be caught In any

1t is not worth while. The community
is coming to think that It would be bet

THE CHILDREN

n EPUBLICAN leaders and Repub-
h. lican aspirants for office would
~ have had more luck than they
deserved if the public memory had been
lulled into forgetfulness of the most
tion which has resulted from selfish,
trust-protecting Republican policies.
During the long summer school vaca-
tion the question of the condition of
the children was not constantly obtrud-
ing Itself on a nation which must either
deal with it promptly or forfeit its rep
utation for responsibility. The ire
sponsibility of the Republican govern
ment was never more marked than
when, with the end of winter and with
! the close of the school year. the ugly
and threatening specter of starvation
and distress among the school children
of the nation ceased to become matter
of daily comment. Until the close of
the school year many boys and girls
who attended school In New York and
other big cities were fed by the chari-
table through the agency of the board
of education: that is to say, days
attendance at school brought with 1t
the guarantee of at least one meal.
With vacation did the necessity of
providing midday meals for the chill
dren cease? We trow not, but the mid
day meals ceased-and, we have not the
slightest doubt, SO did some of the
Trailer and weaker of the children.
With the clang of the school bell the
attention of the nation is again called
sharply to the condition of the chill
dren who are attending school, as well
as to the fate of those who are deprived
of education in order that they may
earn wages.
Under the shockingly irresponsible
Republican administration which has
supplied to American history its black
est and most unworthy pages, the
poorer children of this great Reupbiic,
who, according to our protestations
made before high heaven and dinned in
the ears of all mankind, are equally
with the rich children entitled to life,
liberty and happiness, have been be-
tween the devil and the deep sea. They
have had to give up either their edu-
cation or their daily bread. If they
went to school they tainted from star
walton.
If they went to work they were
evolved into intellectual starvelings, the
kind of men and women over whom
conservative argument. persuasion and
reasoning after awhile cease to have
influence: and who, at the last, mad
dened, desperate and excited by the
talk Of seditious speakers, may raise
the wild cry which makes civilization
shudder: aux armes, citoyens!"

THE GOLDEN RULE

n NCE upon a time the greatest
Teacher who ever visited the
" earth gave his followers rule of
conduct, and bade them tell all the
world to adopt it and obey it, and
there would be a reign of righteous
ness, a dominion or sovereignty of the
heavens upon earth and within the hu-
man heart. 1t is the simplest rule that
was ever worded. He said that If every
man would treat his neighbor as he
would like his neighbor to treat him
under the special circumstances of each
case the world would become ideal.
do unto others as you would have
others do unto you," is the way in
which the rule is most frequently
stated. do as you would be done by"
is the concise wording in which a
famous modern writer compressed it.
No matter how it may be worded, the
rule is easy to understand. easy to
obey and easier still to disobey, be-
cause the human mind thinks in pairs
or opposites--it is a kind of perpetual
DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde-and the sug-
would be extremely unpleasant to ones
fellow men will often come without in
vitation. In that case, do exactly the
opposite of what you are tempted to
do, and you will almost always be
carrying out the Golden Rule, which is
a practical means of putting into every
day effect the new commandment" of
Jesus, which is not less positively
worded and is not less binding upon
Christians than the Ten Commandments
of Moses-the commandment which
tells Christian people to love one an
other"
larly loving, and therefore not remark
ably Christian, and neither happy nor
contented. If the commandment of
Christ were being obeyed there would
not be any trusts. There would not be

does not matter what citizens form
of religion may be, what his form Of
politics may be, what any of his forms
of belief may be. If he obeys the
Golden Rule all will be well with him,
and when everybody who goes to
church begins to honor the Golden Rule
all the vexed social and political ques-
tions which are perplexing mankind will
solve themselves.

High Schools Should Give

rather harmful than helpful to the
pupil who must go to work at the con-
clusion of the high school course. says
the San Francisco Bulletin.
Pupils who look forward to the uni
versity should receive their prepara-
tory education In special schools or, at
least, in special departments. Most
of the work OF the high schools should
be done on the assumption that the
pupils will not go higher. Thorough
drill in a few brances should be the
curriculum. Plenty of English. plenty
of arithmetic, just a little algebra and
geometry and plenty of American and
English history with talks on the
problems of government and political
economy in this country. together with
such useful things as bookkeeping,
stenography and typewriting. are all
that high school course should con-
tain.

TN consequence of the prevailing
subserviency of the high schools
4 TO the colleges the pupil whose
education does not go further than the
high school fails to get the greatest
possible return for his time. High
schools which are regarded as mere
feeders for the universities regulate
their course of instruction on the the
ory that the pupil will complete his
work i'm the university. The high
school, therefore, does not provide a
complete or definite curriculum. It
does not look to preparing the pupil
for life at the end of the high school
course. It starts him In various Ian
guages and branches of science and
mathematics which are OF little value
to him, either cultural or utilitarian.
