SENATOR BREWsTER's CAN.

The expected has happened in the
announcement by Senator Ralph O.
Brewster Of his candidacy for Gov
ernor. He declares himself in favor
OF a constitutional amendment for
bidding the appropriation of public
school funds to sectarian or parochial
schools, the development of our wa
ter powers by private capital under
adequate State control" and the ne
tention of this power within Ne
state. relief in the burden of tax
lion and thorough enforcement of
the prohibitory laws. principles which
he doesn't claim as originated by
himself. Indeed, it will be admitted
by all. we think. that in making his
announcement he has used language.
which conveys an impression Of
frankness and desire to call atten-
ton to what he stands for rather
than to himself.
The publicity attending his recent
controversy over the subject of Sec
tartan appropriations for schools and
his definite statement in his an
nouncement may seem to open a way
by which the opinion CT the voters
of the State can be registered with
respect to this question. This, how
ever, in view of features that will
naturally arise in the primary con-
test, may hardly be expected; there
will be found, we assume, among
supporters of other candidates, both
those who favor and those opposed
to sectarian appropriations. Neither
Is 1t yet apparent that Senator
Brewster's candidacy precludes the
likelihood Of Governor Baxter again
being a candidate 1t does mean
however. that the senator's hat ID
in the ring and his attitude is de-
clared without evasion.

OPTIMISM AND HUMAN EN-.
CHEERING

It is costly wisdom that is bought
by experience but it might be added
that it Is a lesson not soon forgotten,
a priceless possession, the giving
away of which is difficult indeed.
Were it not possible to impart some
of it, however, learning would end
with one generation. 1t is best to
listen to one who has it and is free
to give from it, if it be of value.
The experience picked up by
the village school to stake driver in
the service of the Carnegie Company,
and from that humble position to the
top. and since. surely has much of
value in it. 1t is said that his expert
ence shows some of his hardest
knocks to have come from those he
has befriended, but be that as it
may be evidently has not lost his
optimism.
In recent interview he said:
You know l am always optimistic.
l can't help it. The pessmists and
the gloom dispensers have predicted
grave and terrible things for this
country, but for some reason they
haven't happened
The reason they haven't come to
pass is this: The people of this
country are innately hopeful Their
fathers and forefathers have passed
through bitter fights with poverty
and have come through in glorious
form. And the aliens who come here
can't help seeing a bright future.
You remember the philosopher in
Voltaire's 'Candide,' who taught his
young pupil that this was the best
of all possible worlds and believed
that everything was done for the
best reason. Now that philosophy
applies in a modified form to this
country"
Another valuable phase of his ex-
perience has been with men, men
who work for living, double listed.
outstanding men, who want their
rights and are willing to struggle
for them. Speaking before the
Philadelphia club of engineers, re-
Gently. after referring to the stupen-
Gous enterprises for which engineers
have been responsible, he added:
But there is one respect not so
often talked about in which Ameri-
can Engineers are today taking the
lead and that is in the development
OF human engineering. We may
build great buildings, dig deep tun-
nels. span rivers with stupendous
bridges. erect great factories and Law
uncounted miles of railroad, but un-
less the men who must do the
ordinary routine work of operating
these machines are imbued with the
right spirit and have healthy

can be no success.
And so in recent years the en-
Slneers of America, and | use the

toward great mechanical achieve

sound and amicable relations with

The people who labor are not and

human beings, with feelings and
