When Fred Hartley was graduated
from the scientific department of his
college at the head of his class. though
he did not know il, he was at the apex
of that eminence which is measured by
the plaudits of ones fellows. Every
one predicted that he would have a
brilliant career. though no one seemed
to have any we'll defined idea as to
how it was to be brought about He
had astonisheI his classmates and in
structors by his mechanical ingenuity
and had invented several contrivances
which, though of no especial value, in
dicated his ability in that direction.
The next most important feature to
a mans career is the wife he gets. At
the mating age there are no instructors
to tell him which girl will be the help

and If there were such they would
doubtless make many lamentable fail

THE SECOND GETTYSBURG
SPEECH.

The second Gettysburg speech was
delivered on the famous battlefield
today. Like the first, which has gone
down in history as one of the master
;erpleces of inspired diction and
American eloquence, it was delivered
by president of the United
States. Like the first it is a master
piece of inspired diction and American
elolUence. The people expected it
to be so.
In his public addresses since he be-
came president of the United States,
Woodrow wilson has been recognized
as possessed of the rare genius OF
Abraham Lincoln both in sentiment
and expression. What Lincoln said at
Gettysburg nearly 80 years ago has
been translated into all languages.
1t was notable for its brevity as wei
as it's beauty. The same is true OF
Woodrow Wilson's address today.
Lincoln told of the brave men living
and dead. whose blood had conse-
Grated and hallcwed the ground on
which the great conflict occurred and
of the incompleted work before the
nation. So Wilson tells of the brave
men living and dead. who met on the
famous field and hillsides; of the com.
pleted task of reconstruction and OF
what yet remains to be done.
The second great Gettysburg speech
is q fit companion Of the original for
all time.

Let's be starting on the way
To- the City OF Good Hope;
There's a highway that is fair,
Leading up and onward where
Beauty brightens every slope;
where the scent OF new .nown hay
From the meadows sweetly blows,
Where the springs are cool and clear
And there are no ills TO fear
And no evils to expose.
Let's be staring with a song,
Full of courage and OF glee;
Let US leave our woes behind,
Eravely caring but to find
Where the beautiful may be;
Let US cease to think that Wrong
Has it's strongholds everywhere:
Let us learn to worry less
And search out the loneliness
That we have the right to share.
Il
Fair the City OF Good Hope
Stands upon the distant hill;
There are guards at all the gates,
And no evil penetrates-
We may enter If We will.
They are weak who sadly grope,
Daring not to leave the gloom -
For the joy that Hope begets
Where the golden Ininarets
OF the splendid city loom.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District.

His work has chiefly concerned itself
in municipal, state and national gov
eminent When he was selected by
the president he was the Washington
representative of the Newspaper En-
terprise association, an adjunct of the
Scripps newspapers, undoubtedly the
most progressive news gathering SER
vice in the world.
About two years ago there appear
ed in the Saturday Evening Post an
anonymous narrative called THE For
tunes of the Sun" This series of ar
ticles was an amazing expose of the
throttling hold of public service cor
porations and licensed evil upon a
middle western municipality. 1t is re-
vealing no secret now TO state that the
experiences related in that story were
actual ones and that the author was
Oliver P Newman. Although the name
of the city was disguised in the story,
the experiences related were those in
connection with the unsuccessful at
tempt to operate Scripps newspaper
in St. Joseph, Mo-, without regard TO

public service corporations.
Anyone who read and pondered over
that story cannot fail now to believe
that the government of Washington
under Newman's direction, will be pro
| gressive in the extreme. AS much, too
can be said of Siddons, who was the
| attorney who defended Samuel Com
| pers and the other American Fedora
| ton of Labor officers in the contempt
! cases. Siddons is a believer in the
/ single tax, and is leading member Of
the Monday Evening club, a local or
ganization which has fought the rea
I estate and banking ring which has
controlled Washington affairs for sc
! long.
! No other public service corporations
/ in the country are as insolently indif
ferent to the people as those in Wash

of rebuke and discipline. ARCHITECTURE

EDUCATION IN GERMANY AND
IN THE UNITED STATES.

THE average man CT the people in
America is much more interested in
the affairs of the public school than
the average man in Germany" de-
clares DR.. George KeTschensteineT, a
well known German educator, in "a
Comparison of Public Education in
Germany and the United States" just
published by the bureau of education.
In the daily press, reports and dis
cussions on educational topics occupy
a space which TO my observation is
fully ten times that which German
newspapers devote to the same sub
ject."
DR.. Kerschensteiner compares point
by point the school systems in the two
countries. He shows how Germany Sc
cures educational efficiency by CEN
tralizatiOn of authority within the in
dividual states. He admits that pos
sibly Capitalization has gone even fur
Their than is desirable in Germany, but
Is equally positive that there is not
enough Capitalization within the indi-
vidual states Of this country. AS a re-
suit of the lack OF state compulsion, he
Gays, eve see today in The United
States the sharpcst contrasts between
school systems that are incredibly poor
ana others Of the highest possible type"
He finds that American citizens of a
community have more direct control
over their schools than in Germany,
and commends this condition. He
compares the teachers in the two cOun-
( tries-the.r training their salaries,
thcir tenure of Office. He discusses re-
/ ligion in the schools of the two coun-
tries, co-educaticn, and other points
Of similarity and difference.
Direct election of school board mem.
7 hers by the citizens, as found in the
I United States, impressed DR.. Kerscn.
I ensteiner very favorably. He notes
7 that in Germany the citizens have lit.
tie or nothing 70 say about their school
. system. In Germany the local school
/ boards are nowhere chosen by popular
. vote" he declares He thinks the
American plan might be a very good
thing for his own country, particular
/ ~ as 4 means Of arousing genuine pub
| lie interest in education.
The American high school comes IN
TO- some interesting comment by Dr.
Korschensteiner, both complimentary
anil otherwise. He praises the nigh
schools democratic spirit, its aim &c
educate all the people; but he misses
the thorOughness that characterizes
the work Of the German gymnasium.
In both nations the schools are now
in a period of great development, &C
cording to the Munich educator. The
great advantage that Germany pos
sesses." he declares. in addition tc
the relentless thorouShness OF tnC
whole educational work, is the well
regulated organization of state-pro
vided school system, which requires
in each community a school as good
as that in every other community. But
this advantage has been purchased al
the expense of many qualities for
which we must envy the American
schools"

no further attention to her for an
hour. Instead, he smoked and Cos
siped with twenty other men in the
station, while the girl lay in a chair,
pathetic, disregarded little figure.
Finally friend picked her up in his
arms and carried her away.
The father admitted that he had
slapped the girl on the morning that
she ran away. Helen, when she was
6 years old, was about like a girl of
three" he explained to reporters,
"and she has been that way ever
since. l slapped her because she
would not say small breakfast steak

Helen is convent bred, of great at
trsctiveness, and is a niece of the late
Right Reverend Frederick Rocker,
