Both Parties Claiming Victory
in State Election.
G. 0. P. CCNGRESSMEH BEATEN
Returns incomplete and Coming in
Slowly, but indications Point to
Landslide to the Democrats
Results in Other States.

San Francisco, Nov. 9.-California
voted on a full state ticket and con-
gressmen. Returns are coming in
slowly, but from indications from
scattering precincts in Los Angeles
and San Francisco, it looks as though
the Democrats have carried California,
elected Bell governor, and most of the
state offices. Macarthur, Democrat, is
running ahead of Kahn in the Fourth
congressional district.
Johnson's managers claim his cleo
ton over Bell, Democrat, by a ma
jority of 10000, or more San Fran
cisco is for Johnson by 1000. The
Democrats concede Alameda county to
Johnson. Johnson estimates his ma
jority in Los Angeles county at 10000
The most remarkable feature of the
returns is the loss in the Republican
vote in Los Angeles Johnson was eX-
pected to carry that city by 10000, but
if present returns continue, he will
be lucky to get 5000 Republicans
will probably lose two congressional
districts, the Fourth and Eighth.

HELP THE SCHOOLS.

AS the Democrat has on some former
occasions adversely criticised public ut
terances of State Superintendent Cary
we all the more gladly commend his
words which please us. In his ad
dress OH The Situation That Confronts
! the American Public School, at the
closing session of the Wisconsin Teach
ers' association in Milwaukee, last
Saturday, he said:
1.-The public is today expecting more
of the public school system than it can
possibly perform under existing condi
tons and the result must ultimately
be disastrous if the conditions are not
changed.
From the first grade of the primary
school to the senior class in college,
with here and there shining exception,
our pupils deal with their work in a
perfunctory and half hearted man
ner. Why is it 50? If we blame the
school we are not looking to original
causes.
Except in remote country districts,
children are rapidly learning to crave
unnatural excitement.
Some of these defects are deep seated
and difficult to reach. They are the
out come Of that intangible something
that we call the spirit of the times.
The sensible parent meets this difficulty
when he undertakes to direct the
activities of his own children in a
rational way.
'Society can, however. insist that
there shall not be so many outside at
fractions and distractions for children.
Society can insist upon making
teaching profession and upon having
we'll trained mature teachers. Society
can insist on thorough going medical
inspection"
Herein Mr.. Cary is everlastingly right.
The schools need the hearty and intelli-
gent support of parents and others in
the great work of education. Not so
much in the way of visiting and super
vising the schools themselves as in in
spring and discipling the children out
of school hours. Fortunate is the child
whose heart is early fixed on properly
preparing for the great work of life.
To thus inspire the children, and to see
that they are not greatly distracted by
unnatural and vain excitement, is the
great task which the present situation
sets before parents and older brothers
and sisters.
The pupil who places a true value
upon what Garfield called the margins
of life will not do his or her work in a
perfunctory or half hearted manner.

RIOT IN INDIANAPOLIS
Eight Men Seriously Hurt in
Fight Following Dispute.
Trouble Caused by Negroes Vote Being
Challenged i'm Sixth Ward
Police Restore Peace.

Indianapolis. Nov. 9. - The polling
place Of the fourth precict in the
Sixth ward was the scene of a riot in
which dozen men were knocked
down and some of them very seriously
hurt. The precinct Is heavily Repub-
lican and most of the voters are ne
groes. When the polls opened a hun
dred negroes were standing around
ready to vote. An old colored man,
who, the Republicans said. had lived
in the precinct for score of years,
was challenged by the Democrats, and
as there are a thousand votes in the
precinct the Republicans charged the
challenge was made to delay voting.
Words led to blows and soon gen.
eral fight was in progress. Men were
knocked off the sidewalk and trampled
in the gutter by the struggling ne
groes and whites, while the peaceably
disposed tried in vain to stop the fight.
The Republicans were greatly In the
majority and the Democrats were
driven from the polls. A riot call was
followed by the arrival of squad Of
police and the Republican and Demo
cratic challengers and Democratic
worker were taken to the police sta
ton. Eight men were so badly hurt
in the melee that they had to go or to
taken to their homes.

IN THE PRES ENCE OF
A NEW AGE.

Here are some pertinent and thought
ful words uttered in speech by Wood
row Wilson at SOmerville, New Jersey
before election. They briefly and forci
bly, tell how 1.-The old order changeth.' .
They are good words and just as true
after election as they were before cleo
ton. Said Mr.. Wilson:
"Do you realize that both parties are
almost Of necessity breaking away from
the past? Do you realize that our life
has broken away from the past? The
life in America is not the life that it
was ten years ago.
eve have changed our economic con
ditions absolutely from top to bottom and
with our economic society, the original
zatiOn Of our life, the old party formulas
do not appear in the present problem,
the older cries sound as if they belonged
to past age, which men must have
almost forgotten. Elderly men here
will not need to be told that things
which used to be put in the party plat
form Of ten years ago would sound anti
quated if put in the platform now, and
therefore there is a signally vital
moment which collect in the present, in
that they collect irrespective Of party,
for they realize that they have not come
to discuss party questions, that they are
not come to hear parties denounced or
to hear parties praised but they have
come to hear the interests of the com
monwealth discussed in terms Of the
present moment.
ut is in vain that either party turns
to its past record either for vindicatlon
or for excuse. It's past record is not
pertinent to the matters now in hand.
Is it not fact that we stand in the
presence Of a new age to which we
must give the attention of men who
know that there is no guidance to be
afforded them except their own intel
Hgence and their own conscience, be-
cause what makes every man stand
erect and feel his manhood is the feeling
that he is determining public questions
for himself at no mans biddinn, not as
the slave of party, not as the mere
follower of party leaders, but as an
American citizen who has the right to
determine these things for himself?"
