THE HIGH SCHOOL COURSE.

Evidence that the elaborate public
school facilities of this country benefit
only a small percentage of the children
above the age Of IL is afforded by
statistics just published by the Chi
cago schools for the last year. The
record shows that only 1918 pupils
we're graduated from the graded
schools out of a total enrolment last
year OF 24S,50S pupils. and only 1,145
were graduated from the high schools
The heads of the school board of the
city estimates that only 2 per cent OF
the pupils remain at their studies long
enough to complete the high school
course.
Proud as Americans must be of their
public school system, the cold facts
furnish convincing evidence that there
is a demand for a change in the course
of studies in order to give the benefit
of school training to the majority OF
the pupils, instead of to the few. we
would have almost an ideal nation, In
point of average education, II the ma
iority of pupils who enter The public
schools should remain to complete the
high school course. But 1t is regret
table that the advantages provided al
such a heavy outlay Of public money
should be improved by such a small
percentage of the total school enron
ment. The problem is a serious one
ana cannot be solved hurriedly. 1t II
due partly to the school system itsel
and partly to the social and industrial
systems which sacrifice the welfare o

The conferences Of the republican
leaders in the western and central
states, which have just been held at the
call Of Chairman Hitchcock, must con-
firm the belief already prevalent that
the political storm center in the m
pending campaign is to be found In
the central west.
While everyone knows that battle
fields are not usually picked out in ad-
vance by the generals, but are more
often determined by the conditions
which cannot be foreseen, yet, so far
as the big political contest of 1908 is
concerned, the picket lines seem al
ready TO have sifted themselves sufi-
GENTLY. at least, to mark the center of
the conflict.
Strangely enough, the underlying
motive behind this years political
geography lies in the fact that the
great middle west has been, and still
is. the chief stronghold of Roosevelt
ism. 1t is in this section that the
president mas Hhu Nlb bJdhANhOS' am
most ~unwavering support for his dis
| ~tinctive reform policies and 1t is here
that the determination is strongest
that these policies shall go forward
without obstruction. 1t was the states
OF the central west whose votes proved
decisive in the nominating conferences
OF both great national parties and put
to rout both at Chicago and at Denver
the allies" who would have faced the
two parties about in a reactionary di.
rection.
The strength of R~ooseveltism in the
middle west accounts for the industri
Gus effort of the democratic candidate
to make people believe that he is the
logical legatee to the magnificent rec
ord of the republican president to thu
exclusion of the republican nomine'
who, as secretary Of war, has beef

the Roosevelt administration
The storm center states Will deter
mine the outcome of the Novembe
election. 1t stands to reason, also
that they will determine that the bes
way to stand by Roosevelt and to max
certain of a continuance Of Roosevelt
ideas is by commissioning William h
Taft to be his successor.

.cC,pUNTs AND PUBLICITY.

One of the largest railroad COM
nanies In the EAST has decided to make
public the names of employees whose
violation of the rules result In rail-
road accidents. This course has been
decided upon because of investigations
which have convinced the management
Of the road that many OF the
II not a majority of them, are due 10
tho carelessness or recklessness OF en-
rloves in the train or signal service.
The records on file with the Interstate
Commerce commission show that some
thing in excess of so per cent OF the
resulting in loss of life and
nroperty are directly traceable to the
employees. Misunderstood signal

virced that their men are not properly

Baltimore American: A Philadelphia pas

not is a question that is open to discus

where the member can be comfortable
will be more popular than where the rigid
and generally accepted rules are followed.
Such experiments are always worth watch

be learned from them.
Kansas City Star: In Bishop Potter the
public beheld such an example of a gen
uine "dignltary'' as is not often seen In
the American branch Of the Anglican
church. His intellectual gifts, his high So
cial rank, his ripe and finished education,
and his position as the head of the most
opulent diocese in America, all combined
to invest him with a degree Of power and
prestige that was unusual. Maintaining a
certain lofty state that befitted his tenn
permanent and that was incident to the
force Of his environment, Bishop Potter
showed the finest possible quality Of hu-
mainly In keeping Always in sympathetic
touch with the masses of the people and
in laboring without fatigue or relaxation
to uplift them and to ameliorate their con-

Jail on the shoulders Of the vindicated
c%itizenry.
The right OF free speech is one Of
the sacred privileges of the American
citizen and any attempt to deprive him
of IL would be resisted TO the last ex-
IRENE. But there is another and o
important question involved. There
can be no question Of the right Of the
city council OF Los Angeles to exercise
control of the city's streets and parks,
and the right may be delegated to the
chief Of police or any other properly
constituted authority. The streets and
parks belong to the people. They are
not designed for mass meetings, po-
%litical, religious or otherwise, and the
power of the authorities to determine
whether such meetings may be held
is absolute and unquestioned. The ex-
ercIse Of this authority In no way con-
1icts with the right Of free speech
which. under the broadcast interpreta-
ton OF the constitution, does not carry
with il a license TO interfere with the
rights Of others, impede traffic on the
thoroughfares or in any way to I'M
pede the operation of the law as eX-
pressed in city ordinances. The Los
Angeles council, instead of making q
concession to the right OF free speech

FREE SPEECH and MOB LICENSE.

The city council OF Los Angeles,
either through fear or through a mis-
taken d of the rights of a munich
pality when in conflict with the al
legged rights of individuals, has gone
on record of surrendering h rule OF
the city to the rule of the mob, under
the guise of recognizing the constitu-
tional guaranty of free speech. The
incident is particularly interesting, as
it is one apt to be repeated In every
city.
BY a recent ordinance the city
Gil of Los Angeles prohibited public
speaking in the streets, parks, ETC., OF
the city without a previously obtained
permit from the chief of police. I'm
der this ordinance a socialist spell
binder was denied permission to use
the streets for a public meeting. This
started a furore and a number OF or
dinariIy law-abiding citizens Joined
with the agitators in openly violating
the ordinance and defying the authori-
ties. The leaders we're promptly ar
rested and locked up in jail, showing
their bid for advertising or martyrdom
by refusing to accept offers of bail for
them. Among the prisoners were
Rev. e. A. Cantrell, pastor of the First
Unitarian church of Pasadena; Clouds

Dorothy Johns, formerly Countess
~Pointkowski, a graduate of Bryn
