A Congress of NeufraIs

The peace resolution offered in the
Senate yesterday by Mr.. La Toilette

body today deserves. in its general
intention and scope. the sympathy and
support of every American Of every

proposals on the sole ground of the
increasing dangers of complications
likely TO injure neutrals or drag them
into the war. which every week. al
most every day. brings, that need is
instant and imperative. More and

more desperate spirit animates the
warning Powers their indifference to
the rights and interests of neutrals
grows BE il under the Irresistible in
stinct of self-proservation or a mad

Additional devices by which the
United States government makes its
lone but petted railroad venture SHOW
OFF, have come TO light.
We have always known that the
Panama railroad had some striking
privileges not enjoyed by other com
mon" carriers, among which are;
1. It operates a monopoly. It's only
competitor is the Panama Canal, own
ed by the same stockholders.
2. II pays no taxes.
3. 1t pays no interest on S3,241 ,532
which the United States Treasurer and
the Isthmian Canal Commission ad-
vanced.
4. It charges six times as high a
freight rate as the average railroad in
the United States.
8. Il can operate steamships, tele-
phones, hotels, electric lighting plants
refrigerating plants, and many other
homely departments. such as laun-
dry, bakery. coffee roaster, etc.

HIS COMEBACK
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir-The Philadelphia papers report
Mr.. Sunday as saying that when he is
exalted with the Lord and with Him
comes back to this old earth he will
wreak vengeance on his critics, and
all that in anyway have opposed him,
in his work now on this earth.
Now. Mr.. Sunday seems to overlook
the fact that our Heavenly Father is
seeking a class of overcomers in this
age, that will develop such Christ
likeness that they will grow to love
their enemies.
Mr.. Sunday needs to read st. Math-
'ew 5-44. If he ever expects to be Of
that little flock" of Overcomers. he
will have to get away from any dis
position to return evil for evil, and
instead to grow TO love and return
good for evil.
None of Mr.. Sundays critics need
be one bit frightened by his threats
for no one who harbors a desire to do
anything but good will be with the
Lord when He comes TO overthrow
evil. destroy the devil. and restore all
that was lost in Eden.

TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION.

q much interest is being manifested in this city in
~ technical High School education that feel sure
readers will be interested in the following
editorial from the Springfield (Mass) Daily News:
In an address before the Rotary Club last evening
Principal Warner pointed ont that there are 1880
pupils enrolled in the Technical High School classes
The growth of this institution from IT'S inception III
1898 with 13 boys constituting the enrolment, IS little
short remarkable and doubtless, it is unexpected
TO many. AS matter of fact the establishment of
the Technical High School course was looked upon IN
the beginning as more less OF fad. at best
pioneer educational work which would be slow In maxi
ing anything like deep impression That the con-
trary has proved TO be the case locally Is selt-evi-
dent.
Such opposition as there to tho establishment Of
the Technical High School gradually dssipaed as
the value Of the work undertaken there was shown
graduates of the grammar school with incnatons
towards technical education began to FIJI the classes
in the old building until the congestion became intoi-
cradle.
When the present Technical High School building
was erected however il was argued that the building
was altogether too large for the needs Of Spring
field in that direction for many to come although
built TO accommodate only 500 pupils. indeed, we re-
call quite easily the vigorous protests that we're made
against the erection of building of the present size
and the claims of municipal extravaganza that we're
advanced by those who were honest in their belief that
the erection Of such large building was nothing but
a piece of municipal folly How mistaken was such
a belief is obvious now, when as Mr.. Warner pointed
last evening the enrolment at present is 1890 IN
building designed for 500 the work being accomplished
by teachers and pupils under badly congested cond
tions" Even now the city Is making arrangements
TO acquire enough land in the immediate vicinity for
substantial additions in the not distant future to the
present structure
The value of the Technical High school is of course
evident in the constantly increasing enrolment
of boys and girls who go there because they do not
find just what they want in high school training In
either the classical commercial schools, each ad-
mirable I'm its way.
OF II is unfortunate that we should be COM
PEELED TO erect such expensive school buildings to be
operated only half a day. Il seems pity that we
should not get out Of them. But there appears
little possibility OF anybody being able to convert
school authorities and high school teachers to the dou
blc-sessioR plan; and long they are opposed
there is small chance Of change being brought about
In the system.
Such remarkable success in technical High School
training in Springfield should both inspira-
ton and for advocates of such High School work
in the local educational field

There is a complete agreement

decree. II is a wanton denial of neu-

least a more imminent hostility to neu-
trails than it does to any belligerent.

land does not cntitle her to put all
neutral ships entering British and
Irish waters into the category of
