For Real Educational System.

I'VE have need of system of educa-
ton for Christian living that will ac-
complish what we ask of it, said DR..
Ferguson. But how can we do that
with the Sunday school? We must stop
calculating from existing limitations
imposed on the work of the Sunday
school and calculate rather from the
needs of the hour. We must stop
crowding the work in the limited
amount of time we have.
The answer to the problem is the
school of the church. declared DR.. Fer
Eusson. where we shall have a graded
curriculum and trained personal lead
ership. The local church is an educa-
tional institution and should have and
manifest an-educational life of its own
But we must remember that discus
sions of educational work should be
along age lines"
present system of general school and
Sunday school education we impose
upon the child the hard duty of recon-
CLING our contradictions" He said that
every event that takes place is a part
of the childs education-that viewing
signzoards with liquor advertisements,
reading the rather lurid advertisements
OF some moving picture shows and
many of the other incdentals of daily
life all contribute to his fund of
knowledge. He urged that the public
school and Sunday school work toward
the common end of 'discrediting in the
chllds mind the baser things

| 1t is possible that reading in the re-
cent frequent announcements of candi-
daces to public office the oft repeated
promises to faithful public service, the

the Old Guard leaders can convince
themselves they can beat Wilson with

heroic is done Tom Taggart will de-
feat Watson. Taggart is more popular

But a new. and a real peril has
appeared to vex the souls of the Old
Guard leaders which bids fair to spill
the Old Guard beans completely. a
demand is spreading like wild-hre for
Roosevelt to run this year for United
States senator from New York to sue
coed Senator OGorman. The voters,
irrespective of party, want some one
to bust up most Of this bogus senatorial
courtesy, committee ASSIGNMENTS by
seniority, and other outworn prccodcnts
and ancient bulwarks of pork, privilege
and plumber. In particular, the thought

ITO sum up then, Hughes will be
unanimously named for presidents he
will accept, and he will be elected.
Roosevelt will be the next United
States senator from New York and he
will carry the state by over 100000
"Elihu Root will be the next secre-
tary Of state if his health will permit;
if not, then Lodge will be drafted.
Gen. Leonard Wood will play a prom

mary Of the political situation as he
found it in the States in which repub-
that whild~ the Tribune has been sup
porting Roosevelt for the presidency, its
correspondent lands Roosevelt in the
Senate and puts Hughes at the head of
the presidential procession.
We believe that is happy solution
of the whole situation. Roosevelt in the
senate would be in position to force
measures he wants to see written into
law. He could push preparedness and
other causes and ge real results.
With Hughes in the White House,
Root rs secretary of state. Roosevelt
as United States senator and Governor
Whitman as his own successor the
great Empire State would come into its
own again with big men dominating the
situation. In any event, the present
trend is plainly toward Hughes in diff

THE PRESIDENTIAL TREND.

1t is a remarkable situation that con-
fronts the Republican party. Its
national convention Will meet in Chicago
a month hence, yet it can not put its
hand upon a single individual and say
we can have this man as a candidate
and win. The party has men with
whom it could win. 1t also has candi-
dates galore with whom it could not
possibly win. 1t has avowed can
didate who republicans generally think
could win.
The presidential situation is constantly
changing, sometimes with lightning
like rapidly. Ordinarily a party's pros
poets depend almost entirely upon itself.
To-day the prospects of republican can
didates for the presidency are dependent
In no small degree upon the shifting
currents of war, and the changing posi-
bilities for war with the United States
Republicans thought they had a Win
ming issue in preparedness and the
tremendous failure of the present adj
'iiiIistidtIolI 10 PROVIDE means OF ma
tional defense, Mr. Wilson first scoffed
and then remained TO pray for bigger
army and navy. He sidetracked the
preparedness issue as factor in the
presidential race, and it now looks as
though he might disconnect the locomo-
tive and leave the thing standing on
the main track.
All this shifting, which brings first
Wilson and then Roosevelt to view. is
apparently firing the rank and file of
the voters. They want something to
which they can tie. They want some-
body who will stick to what he saws
They realize that Hughes is a man of
that stamp Hughes would never saw
he would not accept the presidency
under any circumstances and then
accept. He does not put himself IN
holes of that character If he had said

This is one explanation of the shift
ing Of presidential sentiment in other
parts of the country to Hughes. The
Bennington Banner. which has had a
fondness for Roosevelt, now says
"Some two or three weeks ago the
Banner commented on the plainly mani
fest swing of the political pendulum
toward Roosevelt and predicted that
there would be a reaction between then
and the first of June. This reaction is
now clearly in progress. The political
pendulum is now swinging away from
Roosevelt and toward Hughes"
