THE SOCIALISTS.

Debs and the Socialists made spec
tacular and aggressive campaign, and
thus impressed many people with the
notion that they were to make great
progress in the national election In
1904 the Socialist vote in the United
States was 402,159, and this year the
Socialists claimed" a million. At ma
tional Socialists headquarters there is
said to be keen disappointment because
economic conditions were thought to be
ripe for strong dissent, and Debs had
made an energetic campaign, to which
there was apparently enthusiastic re-
Spouse. The official vote is not known,
but it is estimated at between 100000
and 100000 for the nation.
AS a matter of fact, Socialism seems
to have met a setback. On the east
side of New York, where Socialism is
believed to be strong, the Socialists
nominated Morris Hillquit for con-
gress, and for the New York assembly
Robert Hunter and J. G. Phelps Stokes.
Socialists and philanthropists of wealth
and intelligence These Socialists are
undoubtedly men of measurably SUI
perior in character to their opponents
in the old parties. They had the most
enthusiastic support of their adherents,
and yet they are all defeated. Social
ism was put to the test and rejected
at the polls.-Philadelphia Ledger.

FRON OTHER PENS
IDEALs IN EpuCAr1oN.


One of the subjects suggested for
discussion at the meeting of New Eng
land college presidents last week. was
this: "Is the growing interest in voca-
tional training eniangering the ideals
of liberal education?'' Very likely it
Is If5one devotes himself to Industrial
training, he must necessarily draw
himself from the classics and philoso-
phies.
But after all, al knowledge is re-
lated, and so the knowledge resulting
from, effective industrial training is
really necessary to the ideals of a lib
eraI education. There is an abundance
of science in the mechanic arts, reach
ing back into history, philosophy and
literature, and though it is not special
lied in respect to these diversions of
knowledge, it is sufficiently generalized
as to be a part of them.
How the ideals of a liberal educa-
ton can be fully expressed unless they
embrace all the facts concerning skill,
material, design, Involved in the me-
chanic arts, is not easily explained.
The knowledge that widens vision and
makes men most useful can associate
with Horace and Hegel. Where a man
devotes himself to his forge or dynamo
with as much fidelity and intensity as
Tennyson does to his verse, they will
chime together like bird and bios

4GUN TOXIN, - AGAIN.

| Extended comment on the killing OF
the late Edward Carmack, a former
United States senator from Tennessee
on the streets of Nashville recently, as
| the result of a pistol duel with a cou-
pie of political enemies. is hardly nee
| essary or desirable unless it takes on
the form of another admonition against
the carrying of weapons which is in
Obliged in to an all too great extent in
every part of this country.
Certainly it presents a most striking
argument against the wisdom or even
necessity of men of fiery tempera-
ments, or of any other kind. for that
matter, in pursuing the vocations OF
peace with their pockets filled with
loaded revo1vers, or weapons of any
other sort. Perhaps this habit may be
deemed to be ali the more pernicious
when INDUCED in by men of reputed
intelligence. If none of these parties
to this recent catastrophe in Tonnes
see had not been armed when they met,
as they most assuredly should not have
been in this day of civilization and law
and order, the damage they might have
done each other would proba bly, have been
totaled up with few black eyes and
other bruises which would likely have
quite sufficiently satisfied their honor.
Then the life of a brilliant man would
not have been snuffed out.
Gun totin' " Is most properly a relic
of the days gone by and should have
been buried with them. There is no
excuse for it in these times. But when
men of prominence and high attain
nents will engage in such habit there
can be no less fault found, surely, with
the thugs and rowdies for doing like
wise in emulating them. The question
of eliminating this evil from society Is
full of perplexities and hard of accom-
plishment by peace officers whose duty
it is to see that persons do not go
about with weapons concealed upon
them, which is probably done in every
civilized community in defiance of law.
But this is a very good reason why
they should attack the matter with all
the more rigor. Too stern measures
cannot be adopted by municipalities
governing the sale of pocket firearms
and other dangerous and murderous
weapons If the sale of them were
strictly regulated there would be de-
cided abatement of the evil. And the
police of every locality should use their
utmost endeavors in enforcing the or
dinances prohibiting gun-carrying
against not only the undesirables in
their community but also against ev-
cry person regardless of his standing
and station.
