There are two kinds of schools in
this country, both strong in their
influences, educating the boys in
strikingly opposite directions. The
school house education on the one
hand and the street education on
the other are alarmingly different.
The nations prosperity depends
upon which school educates the
boys.

The C4RH4cK-C00PEP rERDICT,

Cooper and ex-senator Carmack had led the
pubic te believe that the jury would Be hope

verdict which conuends Itself a eminently
fair and intelligent.
There was 10 question IS 70 The killing Of
NJ Csrnack Or as 70 the feeling Of The slayers
against their victim But there was. on the
other hand. some uncertainty as 70 the exact
conditions under which the encounter occurred
and g 70 whether Nr Ca-mack being both

rhe defendants 70 sonfe allowances on the score
OF seIfdefence- The jury made those allow

second degree It s9Dsibly swept away all the
foolish claims that the defendants were acting
within their rights n preparing 70 take, and
actually taking. private vengeance Tor afr0nts

c5ded that the law cannot recognize as z valid
excuse for killing Z man the fact that he com

There was & tire n Tennessee and il many
other states when the law would have retired
into the background while such affairs Of

The ISSUE N FRANCE.

The issue IN France is simple Il = law
against anarchy. II IS the rule OF the people
through their chosen representatives against
rule bF en irresponsible mob. Mr Barthou the
Minister OF Public Works vino appears 70 be
man of discretion and resolution. was exactly
right when he said on Friday that for the gov
eminent 10 treat with the employees associa-
tons on terms Of equality would be the be-
ginning OF administrative anarchy. The govern
menr must be supreme. else Il abdicates It's
most essential functions. The proposal Of the
strikers which Mr.. Barthou rejected In the
words which We have quoted was similar 70
the impudent suggestion which was made
some years ago during strike IN this country.
that the two presidents" should submit their
differences 70 neutral arbitration. the two
presidents" who were thus 10 negotiate as
equals in authority and responsibility being the
President Of the United States and the presi-
dent OF some labor union, The Chamber Of
Deputies, TOO. was quite right and did its
patriotic duty in cordially supporting the min
istry and in declaring that it was resolved not
70 tolerate the strike
There is strong reason for believing that
"Ie Journal des Debats" OF Paris Is right in
regarding the strike as the fret grave episode
Of the social revolution" or ct least. OF the
attempt az revolution. FOR which the socialists
have been preparing for years. That belief is
