VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

This Is coming to be an age Of yo-
catlonal education and boys and
girls are rushed along to special
training. In the modern times OF
rush and hurry. when making mon
ey has become so nearly the chief
aim, Il logically seems necessary TO
train along special lines. The bust
ness world In calling for specialists
and the broader equipment of men
tai force Is neglected, but this state
Of effort will eventually react in
the production Of weaker people.
The morn we sacrifice the thorough
education to special training the
more narrow will become the think
Ing and reasoning powers Of the
people. Men trained In a special line
are not able to comprehend the gen
eral and high trend OF thought They
are In a clrcumscribod world and
more liable to prejudice and lack Of
charity In thought and sympathy
A business Institution calls for men
who can do certain things. but when
a state or nation Is confronted by
great economic and humane prob
lens. they call for college men whose
mental powers have sern trained
along broader lliies and the perpe-
tulty OF the country must look for
guidance to men who have been cd
ucated in philosophy, psychology
and the arts and sciences, and are
capable Of measuring all the varied
forces and inclinatlons Of human
kind.

known that the stock markets in the
United States were affected by in
formation respecting the Presidents 5
note before many persons who are
usually in confidence Of the Execu-
tive had any knowledge Of it what
soever. That the stock markets were
manipulated to the enormous profit
of some, and to the loss and even
financial ruin of many, by those il
legitimately in possession of infor-
nation regarding the peace note has
been a matter of common talk and
of widespread belief since the De-
cember ''break" in securities.
Somebody has been treacherous to
the United States government; 9th
ers must have been in conspiracy
with this person That there has
been a conspiracy may as well be
assumed now. The proof in support
of such an assumption is ample and
conclusive. But the principal and
the accessories are at large. This
should not long be the case. No
time, no talent, no amount of skill,
and no amount of money should be
withheld from an inquiry that sets
out to uncover this and similar re-
cent fragrant offenses against the
nation, and to bring those RESPONSE
BILE to justice.
Who or what these persons may
be, c. for whom or ir what interest
they may have conspire6 and operat-
ed, should be considerations without
the slightest influence up on the in.
vestigators. The important thing is
to expose the whole responsible bust
ness. punish those who have engag-
ed in it, and thus render further re-
sort to 1t at least improbable. -

HYDE TO GO FREE TRIED
AS POISONER OF PARENT

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 13.-1f DR..
b. Clark Hyde did give his million
aire philanthropist father-in-law,
Colonel William H. Swope, typhoid
germs in his drinking water and kill
him to get his fortune, it probably
never will be proved.
DR.. Hyde has been trieo on the
murder charge three times. in the
last seven years. Prosecution of the
case was dropped today by order of
Judge E. f. Porterfield in Criminal
court. The first case resulted in a
conviction, but retrial was ordered
on appeal. The second was a mis-
trial because one of the jurors climb
ed over q transom and escaped to
visit his sick wife. The third trial
resulted in disagreement.
DR.. Hyde always has maintained
his innocence. The case against him
was entirely circumstantial. It's un-
usual features and the prominence Of
the principals at one time command
ed nation wide attention. DR.. Hyde
was a prominent physician here and
well known as the son-in-law Of Col
onel Swope. After Colonel Swope's
death from typhoid fever seven years
ago, It was charged that DR.. Hyde
had placed the typhoid germs in the
drinking water at the Swope home.
while DR.. and Mrs. Hyde drank from
a special water cooler of their own.
DR.. Hyde claimed the Swope water
supply was contaminated by near
by cesspool.

THAT LEAK AT WASHINGTON

Suspicion of leakage in one OF
more of the executive departments
of the public service ut Washington,
and on calculated misuse of infor-
nation impaired in strict confidence
has existed for considerable time
in political, business, and newspaper
circles in the United States, and has
recently been strengthened, by cir
cumstances, until it has become al
most positive conviction. No mat
ter how interest may at present be
concentrated on the peace note
scandal, it should not be forgotten
that this is but the latest instance in
which evidence Of leaks, convincing
to trained and careful observers, has
been discovered in and around the
administration buildings. Inside in
formation with regard to the course
of the government in relation to
matters of world importance has, on
several occasions, according to COM
mon report, reached the stock mar
kets before it has been communicat-
ed to the press or public. Secrets
sacredly guarded, to all appearances
by certain high officials and Their
assistants have, in some way oil
other repeatedly become known in
oversee capitals where knowledge ot
them was especially desired.
To be plain, there has been little
among those who have given atten
tion to the matter. as to the exist
ence of treachery somewhere in of
ficial Washington. Evidently ther
must have been, else official conf
dences would not have been violate,
and state secrets would not have beer
divulged. In the case Of the peac'
note leak, the fact that the Presiden
had completed, and was ready Il
