cussed by such educational expert as j. L. McBricn,
School Extension Agent Of the United States Bureau Of
Education.
Mr. McBrien says that the further we deve into the
question OF rural school attendance in its relation to
the length Of rural school term the evident il be-
comes that need an aroused public opinion for
better rural school attendance and a more rigid and
effective enforcement OF compulsory attendance laws to

keep his children out Of school whether it be through
Indifference, ignorance or sedshness. Furthermore it
is crime against BIS children to let him keep them
out Of school Whether poor pupils comes

or lax enforcement Of compulsory attendance lawor
from all of these thngsthe penalty falls hardest and

rom the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Mr. Hughes has already fixed his
reputation as the most bitterly pard-
san Republican nominee for the Pres
idency since the Republican party
elected its first President.-Louisville
Courier Journal.
Every political campaign has its
lights and its shadows, its comedy
element as well as its serious side.
The most ludicrous feature Of the
present contest is the loud wall that
has gone up from Democratic news
papers against Mr.. HUGHES for hav-
ing the temerity to criticise Mr.. Will
son. They call this criticism abuse" i"
There seems to be a feeling on the
part of these newspapers that because
he is now in Office their candidate for
the Presidency should be held as
something sacrOsanct-an idol which
all the people should fall down and
worship. 1t is of record that they
took no such position in 1900 when
Mr.. Mckinley was a candidate for re-
election; nor in 1904, when Mr.. Roose-
velt was the Republican nominee; I;
nor in 1912, when Mr.. Taft was the
target for attack In giving free rein
to their criticism in those years these
Democratic newspapers acted clearly
within their rights. When the day

a considerable period OF time. If the
Administration Vera Cruz campaign
was not, both theoretically and prac-
tically, the actual waging of war, 1t
must be denominated the uniustiiiable
aggression Of buccaneers and pirates.
Dr. Eliot has thrown upon the Wilson
regime in this regard the imperative
necessity of making a very awkward
choice. Il either made war at Vera
Cruz or il perpetrated a h-deous
crime. In either case, it rendered DR..
Eliot strongest argument in its de-
fence illogical and worthless.
Now as to his policy number two,
the abandonment of American citi-
zens and their property to foreign ag-
gression, an alleged altruistic i'm
provement upon ancient Roman and
modern British methods OF procedure.
If this so-called policy is a benign
doctrine imbuing our activities in
lands and waters beyond our nationa,
borders with a humanitarian spirit. II
should apply with as good reason to
our dealings with Hayti SantO Do
mingo and Nicaragua as to our pro-
ceed ngs in Mexico.
If the Administration is right in
its stern attitude toward Hayti. it is
wrong in its flabby treatment of Mex
leo complications. Furthermore. the
question arises. is Perishing's column

Roman theory that a citizens rights
are not abrogated because he is a
wanderer, or is It an instrument Of
fha new Ampricanisn endeavOring

The policies to which DR. Eliot
calls attention in his plea in behalf
OF the Administration 90 concern
its righteousness and dignity"-so in
timately in fact that the failure to
enforce them. laying aside the oues-
tion Of their desirabilitv. establishes

For many years past the views and

cred worthy of the most attentive
consideration by the American public
When, therefore, this distinguished
scholar and publicist comes TO the
assistance of the Wilson Adm nistra-
ton IN its effort to reconcile the peo-
pie of this country to its Mexican
policy, his presentation of the case
for the defence carries with it the
weight Of high and impressive au-
thOrity. For this very reason. how
ever, the inherent weakness of the
Administrations most ingenious ar
