No Dearth of Candidates

The democratic voter need not be alarmed over a threatened dearth of candidates for the Denver convention. Long before leafy May comes there will be enough and to spare, and they will be doing more twittering than the birds of that glad month.
 The ideal political condition would consist in an announcement on the part of an aspirant and a single speech defining his views, letting the voters do the rest This was the method adopted under the convention plan with sly intrigue with the machine | thrown in. Under the primary plan the aspirant who has confidence in the people and in his own strength need not spend many dollars, for the papers will print his announcement as mat
 ter of news, and his views need not be scattered broadcast if he is well known throughout the state.
 But if an insufficient number to fill !, the delegation should publicly declare a desire to enter the primary, no harm
 would result. The people would go to
 the polls and they would select men
 suited for given service to the end of the ticket. Let no one therefore feel apprehensive because aspirants are not getting into line. They will get there,
 cost or no cost, for the seeker for po- sition never has been lacking in this republic and he will be forthcoming before the day in May.

Reuardinu Technical Education

The address of Dr. Alexander C.. Humphries, president of Stevens h. stitute of Technology. at the annual alumni dinner of the institution, held in New York last week, is attracting attention in educational circles. The speakers high rank both as man of business affairs and an engineer of wide experience enabled him to dis cuss the question of technical training authoritatively, and his comments and suggestions will be fruitful of good re- suits. While pointing out the great value of theoretical knowledge, he also made it plain that theory alone would
 avail the student of mechanical en- gineering little. Along with theory with the students hematics-there must be united a comprehensive knowl- edge of business methods. the prin- ciples of political economy and ma chine shop practice and management. Thus equipped the graduate of
