Raxisina Euloaiss.

If Germany's "all highest" had seen
fit to shuffe off In, say, the month OF
May, 1914, Chicago's school board
would have been saved its present
heated consideration Of what to 1T
seems a paramount issue.
The storm now raging centers
around eulogistic appreciation OF the
kaiser in one Of the Chicago school
books. A greater part Of the patriotic
element concerned is in favor of tear
ing the Objectionable pages from the
speller Others. possibly no less patri-
otto, question the wisdom Of the propo-
sition.
There will be a general tendency to
agree with both sides. 1t may do the
objectionable subject Of the laudatory
article more honor to eliminate 1t than
to leave it where 1t is.
One way Of looking at the sttua :
ton is to take account Of the presump-
ton that the article was included IN
the textbook in good faith. If. as has
already been suggested, the earthly
career Of the kaiser had been terminal
ed a little more than three years ago.
there would be no need either for ell-
sion or modification At that time "
per cent of.the newspapers and maya
zines in the country would have pard
the late departed the highesttributef as
a ;pacemaker and peacemaker. Here
and there would have been heard a
voice in protest, but the faint cutlery
would have been lost in the opposing
volume of praise.
The world sees now back OF the
pretty painted surface Of events the
frightful and bestial dreams. inc
sleepers have been awakened. over
the laudatory page has been splashel
the blood. .of innocent millions. The
moving finger writes" and whether
the Chicago school board tears out the
page or not new lesson has been In
scribed. The old has become a scrap
of paper. There will be much revision
of biography and history after the war
is over. It may be as well to let the
page stand until that time of final and
,effectual revision arrives. Meanwhile,
the whole incident serves to confirm
once more the fairly generally accept
ed truth that the best time to en'ogize
any man is after he is dead.-Wash.ng-
ton Post.
