SUBLIME STUPIDITY.

The school board Of Revere, Mass, has decided
that the story Of Christmas must not be taught to the
children Of the schools under its direction in the
school exercises usual to that season. The dispatch
conveying this news threw no light upon the mo-.
tives Of the gentlemen who have in their charge that
momentous business Of giving direction to the
thoughts Of YOUTH and it is possible only speculate
with wonder upon the type Of mind that develops
such curious results from its hegiras into the sunlt
land Of hope. Even where it is severed altogether
from its trnitarian dogma" by the most callow kind
Of philistinisn, the story Of the Redeemer is still
the greatest story in our tongue, and these school
board gentlemen Of Revere have made stupidity
sublime by denying to the children acquaintance with
Him who loved children profoundly.

board. and We may anticipate that the holiday month
will climax the showing OF 4 record.making year,
with some figures that will make past performances
look modest.
Almost s257 100000 Of exports left our shores
in October against s22s, 900 in December, leio
which till now has been the record for any single
month. For the first ten months of 1912 our ex.
PORTS have aggregated 81 s70 00O which is over
$500 900 in excess Of last years showing for the
same period. little more than half the October
exports were agricultural products.
That trade is necessarily reciprocal, is once more
shown by these October figures. Much as our ex-
ports have increased; imports grow yet faster; the
balance Of trade continues to shrink. The balance
is over million less than it was on the smaller az.
gregate business Of October, 1911.
1t is altogether probable that our grand total OF
exports and imports for the completed year 1912 will
touch four billions Of dollars. Yet it is only a few
years since the nation was plumng itself on having
reached billion Of exports, while the imports were
vastly less.

THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT AND
MOB GOVERNMENT"

We want to tell the intellectually honest opponents

that almost every plank in the national platform Of
the Progressive party has been tried out in this coun

We do not suggest that they have made good"

met that condition.

Of discernment in distinguishing between measures
for condemnation and approval.
1t is true that, in some cases, q vast amount oi
poor stuff has been submitted to the voters but it Is
also true that vast amount Of poor stuff is SUBJ

the discernment shown by the people will compare
to the advantage Of the people with the dscenmen

association-four were finally elected by the people.
And the people made that selection without the
assistance or advice Of any Of the local newspaper
Now, As to the Progressive provision that even
careful lawyers enormously speak Of as the recall

In the States where II is in actual operation II
is in the form Of new section in the organic law,
which provides that whenever the court decides that
any industrial or economic or social legislation is in
apparent eontraventon Of the State constitution, the
specific legislation 50 ruled upon by the court shall
be referred to vote Of the people, and II the people
vote to sustain that legislation, the sale legislation
shall thereupon be read into the constitution, Of
which II shall become an integral part.
This referendum Of constitutional decisions is
only recent measure. 1t cannot be applied withou,

voters The actual history Of such in our State

either fe liberty, or property. And We suggest tha,
even academic jursts who will study this innovation
will find in it nothing that is intrnsically new and

Of the common law or the fundamental stability ol

MANY SOLONS ARE
ARRIVING IN CITY
FOR SHORT SESSION
Shadow Of Big Politics viii
Hang Over Congress
At Opening.

Members OF the House and Senate are
arriving In washington for the opening
OF the short session OF the 6ixty.second
Congress. next Monday. Until now. tho
members Of both houses have been slow
In assembling. Ono reason 10 that they
are assured Of an extra session next
spring. and want to take the opportu-
nitv this fall to stay At their homes
while they can. knowing that In all
proba bility they will have to remain In
Warrington through the coming sum
mer.
Many Of the members will wait until
they have eaten Thanksgiving turkey at
their homes before starting for Wash.

there will be q great rush Of Senators
and Congressman to the Capital.
Shadow Of Big Politics.
For . short session. this will be an
unusually busy and important one. In
the hrst place. the shadow Of biz poli-
tics will hand over everything. The
now Democratic Administration will be
going through the pangs Of organizing.
there will be efforts At Republican reor.
ganisation. and the Progressive party
leaders will be active.
Bcsides this. there will be an enor.
nous amount OF legislation to be dis
posed Of at the short session. With
unusually large appropriations and au-
thorisations to be made. the considera.
ton Of the appropriation bills will be
unusually important. Much new legis.
lation will be fastened to them.
The trial Of Judge Archibald. Of the
Commerce Count. on Impeachment
charges, will take much Of the time OF
the Senate. The case will be taken up
by that body at the beginning Of the
session.
Campaign Fund Legislation.
The Works resolution to amend the
Constitution % az to limit the Presi.
dent to one term; the Kenyon liquor
bill; the Department Of Labor bill: the
Page vocational education bill-all are
measures Of importance to be consider.
ed by the Senate and House.
