A POLITICAL REVOLUTION.

Over across the waters there has,
during the last week, occurred peace
full but none the less remarkable revolu-
tion in the method of government. which
in some degree resembles some political
issues of our own conutry, in that 1t
brings the governing powers in more di-
rect touch and control of the common
people. ~
In the U. s. Senate, this week for the
first time, that body has consented to
the principle that senators may be elect.
ed by direct vote of the pbople and also
passed bill for the publicity of cam
paign expenses of candidates for con-
gress.
Over in England the House of Lords
with utmost reluctance have voted to al
low the Commons to have sole control of
the financial legislation of the country
and that the upper house shall have
practically no power of veto over such
measures.
About year ago the Commons sent
up bill for the Lords to rat,fy, which
was the usual budget" of expenditures
of the nation, but which had attached
thereto certain matters which the Lords
declared were not of a financial nature,
and therefore vetoed the budget. Parli-
ment then went to the country and the
election was in favor of the govern.
ment" as the majority party is called
over there. So the fight came on again,
and as the government had the power to
dilute the Lords with enough new peers
to give a government majority there, the
Lords then passed the bill rather than
b. thus watered.
Many very important questions that
have been issues over there for many
years will likely now be passed, as here
tofore they had been held back by the
Lords. Among these is 'home rule" for
Ireland, an issue which has caused
more bad blood and the shedding Of
more good blood than any other political
issue in the history Of England.

strips his companions IN the race for
book knowledge in the schools. Occas-
ionally such boy is normal in other re-
spects, but very rarely. When it como
to real boyhood, he generally knows No
thing and cares nothing about it.
Sometimes such boy becomes eminent
in some direction or other but more
times they are failures when it comes to
the real battles of life.
The boy who learns to play and play
right, is learning life's future lessons on
the play ground. 1t is not waste of
time to play ball or participate in sports.
1t is knowledge and training that will
be of service in later years and of more
service than the Greek or Latin that he
learns in the schools.
1t is true that child learns vastly
more between the ages of birth and five
years than he learns altogether after
ward; but all that the learned professor
can do with the child is 10 turn his at
tention in certain directions. He can't
really increase the quantity. The child
will learn just about as much without
him as with him. And propably just as
useful stuff.
But even allowing the professor all he
cltims, would any mother or father be
willing to rob the child of the happy
days OF boy and girlhood even if it were
possible. Because, when such things as
the professor teaches the kid are learned
the child Us no more child. 1t is and
can be onlya a method of prematurely
aging poor little kid.
It's wonderful how little some of
these splendidly educated college plo-
fessors know.
