1907-1909, but the revival of dissent did not reach its elimination until
1912, in the Republican convention at Chicago. The beaten and dissatisfied
elements were luned Ito sleep not lessb by fair promises than by the positive
achievements of Wilson's first term-the Federal reserve law, the Clay,
ton antitrust act, and the Federal farm loan act. Before the insurgents
could reform their ranks, the great wal cam I, and all elements allow
ed themselves to be whipped into shape for the titanic struggle. How long

The nineteenth century in Europe va a long struggle for POLITICAL
equality. The fruits of the French Revolution-nationaHty, popular sover-t
eighty, and equality before the law-lay buried for a quarter century under
the reactonary policies of Metternich, but the revolutions of 1920, 1880 and
1S48 brought them to the surface and CAV them respectable standing in
every great congress that has assembled since the last date and N year
ago, N the western front, they we're acknowledged by their stoutest foes
But out of the recent conflict have arisen other great principles as impor-i
tat and as far reaching in their significance as those which were released
at Paris in 1889. Economic quality will be achieved in the twentieth CEN
fury through conflicts as fierce and bitter as marked the achievement of
political equality in the nineteenth century. All the European states east of
the Rhine are graphing with the question, and. England, France and Italy
are trembling on the brink of the precipce, while N our own country there
are indications o. the same movement. The struggles of Soviet Russia ire
no less prophetic If change than are u W diTurbances-the present
strikes, the Plumb plan for the control of the railroads, and the erratc eff
forts of the Non-Parhsan League, all decided demands for better opportu-I
nifty to achieve economic equality
| should like 20 see u grade and high school supplied with supple
mentary readers describing our great industries should like to see the
coal industry, the iron industry, the oil industry, the farming operations
the manufacturing industries, written u p in a form to be read and UNDER
stood by the boys and girls in school, We may have such books now;
II so we should have more. | commend the plan of a certain teacher l know
who enabled her pupils in the seventh and eighth grades to correspond with
boys and girls in similar grades in Hutchinson, Lyons, Garden CITY and Sa-
lima, describing the coal industry in their own way, and receiving letters
from boys and girls in the towns mentioned in which they described the
salt industry, the beetsugar industry, OF the Touring industry. This gives
not only knowledge of geography and industrial activities, but exercise in
English composition as we'll
