The Great Political Thought.

The greatest political thought in the
world is that embodied IN the declara-
ton of independence. namely, that all
men are created equal. This is the
basis of popular government, and pop
ular government is spreading. 1t does
not mean that men are, or will be,
equal in physical strength. in intel!ec-
tual ability, in moral character or in
wealth-it simply means that God
never gave to one human being a
natural right that he denied to any
other human being. and that in the
contemplation Of government, all must
stand equal before the law. Out OF
this basic principle all other political
principles grow and by it all methods
of government and all policies must be
measured.

A Terrible Picture.

The President paints terrible PFC

multi-millionaire who has grown rich
by immoral means as 1.-THE least adj
mirable of all our citizens, man OF
whom it has been we'll said, that his
face has grown hard and cruel, while
his body has grown soft; whose son Is

dent pictures? He is the beneficiary

day, in twenty-eight arts and crafts.
In this whole country of IS, 600. 900
people, there are fewer trade schools
than there are in the little German
kingdom.
Two-thirds of the convicts in Ameri-
cas- prisons are men without trade
or profession. The superintendent of
penal institution, being asked how
many of the prisoners had knowIedges
of a trade, answered: Absolutely
none. If they had they never would
have come here"
These two statements, appearing in
recent addresses upon the subject of ir-
dustriai education in the United States,
makes a startling commentary upon
the progress which people. fond of
Boosting themselves the most practical
in the world have made toward; solv-
ing problem which is among the most
urgent confronting every industrial
country of the world today.
The question of what shall be done
to provide the industrial education on
which depends the future supply of
skilled labor necessary to maintain our
country's place in the race for indus
trial supremacy, is one of those vital
questions which concerns every Ameri-
can. 1t concerns the prosperity of en-
ployers and wOrkmen alike, but more
than that, it concerns the future well
fare of the republic. Upon the course
taken by those in whose hands rest the
decision of the present time will de-
pend whether the American children
of the next generation are to have the
advantages of the Bavarian child of
today, or whether they are to be left
to the conditions which are filling our
prisons with convicts who are criminals
because they had no other trade.
In deciding what that course shall be
the manufacturers of America, united
in such organizations as the National
Association of Manufacturers, can ex-
ert an influence commensurate with
the Importance of the question to the
m. The educators of the country are
already aligned in support of the cause
of industrial education.

Republican Hesitancy.

The Indianapolis News, Independent
Republican, says:
1.-The party governing for twelve
years now has seen its high-built and
gilded prosperity come down with a
crash on the eve of a presidential cleo
ton; has seen the sacred tariff that it
has worshiped coming to its own In
such inequalities and injustices as to
make dissatisfaction loud and deep
The people have been suffering from
high meat prices, high lumber prices,
high paper prices; but who shall dare
put anything on the free list? Vino
shall dare reform the steel schedule to
stop the plundering of home buyers
compared with favored foreigners?
Who shall make an end of the prepos-
ferrous treatment for years of the
Philippines for the benefit of the sugar
and tobacco monopolies? That also in
wolves the tariff. And thing that
has been the unquenchable light on the
altar since the party's birth is not to
be touched with hasty or unhoiy hands.
Men must have time to think. Es-
pecially so when ali this synchronizes
with audacious legislation against old
and tried supporters-the corporations
and with the time when new man
is to be found for president and-hard-
est of all-party leader. There is the
additional burden. New policies i'm
pend. High tariff and corporationism
will not longer do. What shall take
their place and to what degree and in
what shape?
cit is indeedla most interesting polIt-
ical development that we are witness
ing. 1t is a great party in the air to
certain extent, not knowing just what
step to take next. So this unwilling
ness to act is no mere haughtiness. 1t
is a sign of hesitancy; the hating of
great host that heretofore and thus Tar
has marched. without faltering, now
surrounded by so many new conditions
as to be doubtful of just who are its
friends and to be uncertain as to the
landscape, not recognizing instinctively
what to do at the parting of ways.

HEALTH BOARD ACTS

Springfield, H., March 5-As the re-
suit of the disaster at Collinwood,
