petent They ask that no tools OF pos.
litical bosses be permitted to run the
schools in the interest of bigots who
have sworn to wage d lifelong war
upon a people innocent of offense. Is
this too much to ask for in this coun-
try of equal rights and fair play?
Everybody knows that If the schools
are turned over to the politicians who
have arrogated to themselves the name
American" they would become part
of their political machine which has
not hitherto been used exclusively for
the benefit of the people. Is that de-
sirable?
The Tribune also insists that the
Americans" as 1t calls its motley fol-
lowing, are the enlightened class. The
Republicans and Democrats are ignor-
amuses. It would be very interesting
to have a census to illustrate that very
point. How would the founders of
the Tribune party and the following,
Including the hired help compare intel
4lectually with the leaders and rank and
file of the legitimate political parties
of this City? In the absence of statist
les only surmises can be INDUCED in.
But some of the most prominent no
liabilities of the Tribune party, If re-
ports are true, used to have some crude
ideas of geography
The chiefpont, however, is this, how
long, will the voters of the so-called
American" party follow the lead OF an
organ that has no argument except
falsehood to offer; no inducement ex-
cept deception? It tried to capture the
County by misrepresentlng the Church
and boastins OF contemplated plans OF
cruel persecution. 1t now tries to cap
ture the schools by misrepresenting the
Church. Is such lead worth follow
ing? Is the party that relies on such
argument worthy of support? You
would not support a merchant who de-
ceives you In trade; why should you
follow chronic dcceiver in politics?

REFORM IN RUSSIA.

From a Socialist point of view the
bill before the Russian Douma propos-
ing to abolish the Mir" is step
backward. 1t contemplates making the
peasant an individual property owner
instead of owner in common with
others of the land he tills.
The present system dates from 1861,
when Gear Alexander II. liberated the
slaves and made them proprietors of
village lands held in common. That
plan WAS thought best at the time but
1t Is claimed that 1t has proved I'M
satisfactory. There seems to be a
quite general opinion that communistic
practices are not the best for the great
majority of the peasants. Some OF tho
speakers in the Douma pointed out
that 1t is not the size of an estate, but
and the consequent pride of effort
which makes q rural population got
the best out of the land. While the
village fields were held in common,
they said, it waa no mans business to
do his utmost in them. Each did what
he was forced to do and no more. The
far-reaching proposal seems to be ac-
cepted by all classes in Russia as ar
fording the best hope for the rural
population, whose sullen discomfort has
been a very principal cause of the
unrest In Russia. And thus it ap-
pears that the trend of reform in Rus
sias is backward. as viewed from the
most advanced point view.
q The dissatisfaction in Russia With
the communistic system of land hold
ing Is but another illustration of the
, important truth that even an ideal
system as some regard communism to
be, will prove inadequate unless those
who live under 1t are enancipated
from the tyranny Of selfshness from
which so many evils flow. The Rus
SLAMS have found that while the fields
were held in common only compulsory
work was done upon them. That is
human nature. Until 1t changes by
the regenerating force of true relig-
ion, 1t is to be feared that progress
toward united and common ownership
will be slow.

EXPENSE OF INAUGURATION.
Springfield Republican.

Uncle" julius Caesar Burrows, the
owlishly conservative and shrewd old
senator from Michigan who was put
forward by the wicked "reactionaries"
to be temporary chairman of the, Re-
publican convention at Chicago, makes
the suggestion that the fuss and dis
play attendant upon the Inauguration
of our presidents be eliminated. ana
that the exercises be confined to severe
simplicity. This Is Mr.. Burrows an
swer to the question whether Congress
should not appropriate out of the ma
tional treasury to cover the expenses
Of the Inauguration spectacle, instead
of having the expense met by popular
subscription in Washington. He adds
that by doing away with all the fuss
and festivities the whole item of ex-
pense might be eliminated. This is all
Very well, but the American people
have become accustomed to what may
be called a quadrennial national fete

PEACE SUNDAY.

peace Sunday" comes this year on
the goth of December, the Sunday be-
fore Christmas, and Governor Cutler
has baen requested to issue procla-
nation calling attention to the day and
suggesting that 1t be observed in the
various places of worship throughout
the state, and also in the Sunday
schools. with appropriate exercises
',Peace Sunday has come to be a fixed
one on the calendars of many churches,
and as each year passes and the oeace
cause is better Understood, Its obserr-
nnce becomes more general. It seems APP
propriate to devote day Of worship to
that subject at the time Of the year
when all Christendom celebrates the
birth Of Him who is, indeed, the Prince
OF Peace.
The mission of our Lord is far from
fully understood, even by His pro
fessed followers. The Christian nations
are still wasting the money OF the peo-
pie on ornaments that seem unneces-
sary when recourse can be had to ar
bitraticn. But the light is coming. The
RANKS OF inc TRENDS OIL peace are eN-
tending. Not long ago a convention of
Universalists in New York adopted res
eolutions placing that body of worship
ers on record as opposed to further
increase of the cost of maintenance of
armies and navies, and urging upon
the President of the United States the
duty of making every effort to secure
treaties of limitation of armament with
the powers of the world.
That is in accordance with the mis-
sion of reconciliation of every follower
of the. Nazarene. The Peace platform
is one upon which they all can stand
together, no matter what difference
there may be in their opinions on other
questions. 1T may npt be possible to
do away with all ornaments at one
stroke. No one aims al the impossible.
But 1t certainly is the duty Of all who
desire the perpetuation and further id
vance OF civilization to do what they
can towards the creation of a senti-
ment among all nations in favor of ar
and peace. When that senti-
ment becomes general, armies and ma
vies will be no longer needed They
viii be thrown away as useless. Just
as every old institution has to give
way to those Of a higher order.

COUNT THE BLESSINGS.

The corn crop of the United States
for the current year is estimated at
2,642, 6s7 900 bushels. This figure has
been exceeded only three times--in 1899
when 1t was 2.66S.44O,000 bushels: in
1905 when it was 2707. $4,000 and in 1906
when 1t was 1927, $4,000 bushels. But
as the price OF corn is higher than 1t
that the income of the farmer from this
product will be larger than ever. The
total value of the farm products Of
this country, this year. has been esti-
mated at eight billion dollars.
Corn brings more than any other
single product. This year It's value is
estimated at sl,400O0o, 600. Cotton comes
next. and then hay. The figures for
last year show the relative Importance
of the various farm products. Corn

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

As usual, the so-called American Or
gan fails in Its attempt to explain
away its own contradictions. 1t told
us the other day that the Liberal party
redeemed the schools of this City from
sordid church control, but that the issue
now Is whether church control is to
continue. Caught in this net. it tries
to get out by means of falsehood. 1t

dissolved" the Church began to en-.
croach upon the schools until it now
has complete control of them

not, to our knowledge, taken any ac-

to that question. Would it not be Just
as well to discontinue the idiotic prac-

But the organ boasts of the Liberal
