Davidson Officially in Race.

Gov. Davidson will be a candidate
for denomination at the primary
election next September. This was
stated by Col. O. G. Munsen, priv
ate secretary to the governor, and
it is the first official declaration of
the governors intention to stand
for second elective term. Col.
Munson made the statement while
discussing the report that petition s
are being circulated in some parts
of the state urging the governor to
stand for denomination The fact that
such petitions are being circulated
was news to the governor and his
private secretary. eff petitions are
being circulated in Milwaukee or
elsewhere in the state, calling upon
Gov. Davidson to become a candi-
date to succede himself, it is posi- :
lively without the knowledge of the
governor or those personally and
officially close to him." said Col,
Munson. 1.-THE first intimation we
had of the matter was the appear
ance of an item to that effect in the
Milwaukee papers of this morning.
Neither the governor nor myself
have inspired or been parties to
such action. 1t is voluntary move
on the part of the governors person
al and poIictical friends if they are
active or interested in his behalf at
this time. It is true that the gov
ernor permitted to be published
something like a month since, thai
a reelection would be agreeable to
him if his closing administration
had been acceptable to his p art y
aud his people. Aside from that
bare, informal announcement, Mr..
Davidson has made no move, and
caused none to be inaugurated IN
his interest. 1t has been MS lpten-
tion to stand for reelection, and his
nomination papers will be placed in
circulation at the proper time, and
a brief formal declaration made by
him.

THE EDUCATED MAN.
Not All of His knowledge Comes From
Books and Schools.

Not All of His knowledge Comes From
Books and Schools.
The most important part Of educa-
ton comes from intercourse with peo-
pie. From this side comes the educa-
ton in love and duty and service. The
actions Of people stimulate imitation
and emulation. By these men grow
In power and skill. From observation
Of the character Of people men form
ideals Of character for themselves and
are transformed thereby. Herein lies
the consummate educative power In
Christianity-the transforming power
OF the divine man.
According to this new idea, educa-
ton Is not merely receiving, but CIV
ing; not learning alone, but doing. The
educated man is open eyed and open
minded, quick to respond to infu-
ences from without, learning from all
his experiences and growing in power
as he grows in knowledge. Charles
Kingsley said Of his father that ''he
possessed every faculty but the facul-
ty Of using his faculties" He was
not an educated man, although he was
q very learned one
Education is an individual matter
No tive men can be educated alike in
manner or degree. They respond to
different influences and grow In differ.

Relatively Of knowledge.

The "relativity Of knowledge" means
that you can know things only as they
are related to your faculties. The
thing In itself and apart from the way
1t appears to US is unknown and un-
movable. Absolute knowledge is out
Of the question. In word, we know
appearances, but never the reality be-
hind the appearances; the shadows, but
never the substance itself. In fine. the
gist Of the doctrine Of the RELATIVELY of
knowledge" is that our 30 called knowl-
edge is only phantasmagoria. We
know the appearance, but we have no
means Of deciding whether the appear
ance Is true or false.-New York Amer

Mrs. Bowser could do nothing else.
Then Mr.. Bowser resumed. The revo-

on that horn had the proper idea Of
things. They knew that II was either
his life or theirs. 1t emitted groans
and grunts and toOts and walls. II
sounded fats and 1t sounded sharps,

he was no musician. The thought Of
