THE MEN NOT BIG ENOUGH.
The long absence of New York
democrats from the national legisla
ture has produced a crop of candidates
for Senator Depew'sseat whose views
are either so entirely unknown, or so
subject to change, that they had to
bring themselves down to date in let
ters to friends, which mysteriously
find their way into print.
The situation is regrettable, since a
great state like New York ought to
have within its borders several men,
the mere mention of whose names
would suggest at once their fitness for
the senate. x
Edward M. Shepard has to explain
what he stood for and did so in an
Emersonian paragraph whose subject
and predicate drifted so far apart that
they will always be strangers. Now
William F. Sheehan has tried it, and,
while he is clearer, he has succeeded
only in raising a doubt whether a man
with Mr. Sheehan's past can possibly
believe the things he now writes.
It k a aad situation, but we have no
idea that it will produce such a panic
in the democratic party as to cause a
return to Depew. The democrats
have no great task before them in ex
celling the Depew brand of senator.
They might even do it by the "tit-tat-
toe, here-igo" method. Minneapolis
Journal.
CARRYING IT TO THE LIMIT.
While the wave for more direct
forms of government is on, attention is
claimed for a measure proposed in
South Dakota entitled "A Constitution
for Regulation of Political Party Pro
cedure," which is, by all odds, the most
elaborate and carefully-worked out
scheme of popular rule that has been
devised. The plan is proposed by its
author, R. O. Richards, in the form of
a petition to the legislature invoking
the initiative and referendum for its
submission as an amendment to the
state constitution, and it makes up a
printed pamphlet, in small type, cov
ering nineteen large pages.
The value of the primary to make
sure of popular nomination is not only
recognized in this scheme, hut is also
extended to every part of the party
organization, to the endorsement of all
elective party candidates, to choosing
to all appointive goverment positions
other than postmaster, to nomination
of postmasters in each town, and to
the (arty recall by which any public
officer, elective or appointive, may be
forced to resign ifadjudgedbyhisown
party to be recalcitrant to his party's
pledges. This South Dakota proposal
is for a closed primary so far as being
confined to participation by enrolled
members of the respective parties, and
also substantially closed in the matter
of .indiscriminate petition filings that
is to say, while there may be inde
pendent candidates seeking nomination
of their volition, at least two sets of
names are to be on the primary ballot
arranged in slates made up by separ
ate elective representative primary
committees. In other words, the
Sooth Dakota proposal takes cognizan
ce of the customary possession by every
political party of at least two factions,
and in this way endeavors to help the
factioas fight it out between them.
The whole party rganizationfrom top
lo'botton is to be chosen by direct pri
jnary, but the .representative feature is
reintroduced investing certain com
jatttess with authority to speak for the
party in endorsing candidates for ap
pointive positions, state and federal,
whose endorsement is to be final upon
the appointing officers under penalty
of recall and enforced resignation.
This remarkable primary election
scheme is here cited by the Bee, not
for the purpose of holding it up to our
Nebraska people as the perfection of
law-aukiag, but as indicating how far
the' principles of direct government
through the initiative and referendum,
direct primary and recall as contrasted
with representative government could
be carried, and to how wide a field it
could be applied if we really set to
work in earnest to follow it out to its
utmost extremes. Omaha Bee.
PENSION LEGISLATION.
It is fitting that the year bringing
the fiftieth anniversary of the Samter
call to arms for the preservation of
the Union should find congress ready
to render justice to the surviving vet
erans. The nation would have beea.
sundered and plunged into other forms
of division and sectional -war if the
appeal to the whole loyal population
of the country had not been met in a
spirit of indomitable patriotism and
self sacrifice. It required 2,200,000
armed men to put down the rebellion
and save the country asan indestruct
ible union of indestructible states.
The destiny of the United States de
pended on the conflict. There was no
place to turn for soldiers except to cit
izens engaged in their vocations in the
fields, 4he shops and elsewhere. Of
the more than 2,000,000 volunteers
who fought in defense of the Union
four-fifths have passed away. The
survivors average over 70 years of age,
and the mortality among them is
reported to be 100 a day. It is time
to give them full thought unless eulogy
when taps are sounded is to be consid
ered sufficient appreciation.
By a vote of 212 to 02 the house has
passed the bill to grant pensions rang
ing from 812 to $3G a month to sol
diers who served ninety days in the
United States Army in the eivil war,
or sixty days in the Mexican war. The
rate is to be $15 a month at G2 years
of age, S20 at 05 years, $25 at 70
years, and $36 at 75 years. It is stat
ed that this provision will add several
millions a year to pension appropria
tions, but the increase is only appar
ent when the mortality among veter
ans is 36,000 a year. The argument
that pensions must be slighted because
there are so many veterans is un
worthy. It was a tremendous war
with dangers and difficulties to cor
respond, and a terrible casualty record.
Congress has always taken a broad
view of volunteer pensions from the
time it dealt with the veterans of the
revolution, including all from the pri
vates to the officers who, in 1828, were
voted the pay of captain during the
remainder of life. The concurrence
of the senate in the bill just passed by
the house by a great majority is not in
doubt. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
to take chance with a paeu- j
aaoaia case under an umbrella oat of
doors in winter rather than in a stuffy
house. Bat it isn't necessary to go to
unwarranted extremes in recogairiag
the fact that people were made to live
in the air, and that they doa't give
themselves a fair chance if they shut
themselves off from its life giving
properties. Kansas City Star.
WHY SMOTHER?
Why is it that people are so afraid
of fresh air in the winter? Dr. W. S.
Wheeler, city health commissioner,
attributes the prevalence of pneumo
nia, in large measure, to bad ventila-
,tiou. Certainly it is within the exiie-
rience of everyone that hot, stuffy
rooms are responsible for headache?,
dullness and other minor ills. To
persons who have acquired the fresh
air habit the closeness of the rooms of
the average house of this time of year
is intolerable.
Modern civilization seems to have
lent itself to a conspiracy to smother
the race in the winter time. In the
days of open fires there was fair venti
lation up the chimney. Then came
the hot air furnace, which helped to
overheat the house, but which at least
constantly pumped fresh air into the
rooms, since the intake flue opened out
of doors. But it was expensive to
take air at zero and heat it up to 70,
so the indoor intake was devised an
economical system to be sure, but one
ingeniously designed to make the
occupants of the house breathe the
same air over and over. Ine same
difficulty arose with the hot water or
steam radiator, and for that matter,
with the base burner.
Moreover the trouble isn't confined
to the home. If you ride on a street.
car or go to the theatre you have a
fine chance to get a wonderful assort
ment of second hand air into your
lungs, unless more than usual atten
tion is paid to ventilation. All the
conveniences of modern civilization
seem to have entered into a conspiracy
to diminish the supply of available
oxygen.
The result has been a tendency to
depress the resisting power of the
human system, and to give the waiting
bacteria a chance to get busy with
colds, bronchitis, pneumonia and what
not.
Happily, under the persistent ham
mering of the doctors, people are
beginning to understand that fresh air
really won't hurt them; that in fact it
may do them good. Almost every
person who has had experience in
recent years with illness in the family
requiring the attention of a competent
nurse, has been astonished at the reck
less way the windows in the sick room
were kept open even in the severest
weather. The patient wasn't allowed
to feel chilly. Perhaps he had to wear
a hood, and it may have been neces
sary to keep a fire going in the room
to prevent the temperature from fall
ing too low. But in any event he was
supplied with plenty of outdoor air.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson has gone to
the extreme of insisting that people do
not take -colds from sitting indrafts,
so strongly has he been emphasizing
the need of air, and physicians have
been quoted as saying they would
HISTORIES TEACH HATRED.
One of the chief obstacles in the way
of a belter international understand
ing is the patriotic historian, who
brings intthe limelight the prowess
and conquest of his own race or people
as against rival races.
School histories have usually been
written by people who knew very little
history, and have thought it necessary
to provide strong meat, for little minds
hence the lurid pictures of the past
which are forced upon the attention of
millions of young people.
The Revolution has been a fruitful
source of national hatred toward the
mother country. It was the great and
absorbing event in the history of
North America, down to the Civil
War; it was adorned with great names
it abounds in lofty principles. Ac
cording to most of the American text
books, the Revolution was an unpro
voked attack upon the American peo
ple by the British people.
Entirely out of focus are the trifling
details that the colonists were English;
that they had the freest self-government
then known to mankind; that at
least a third of the people in the colo
nies were opposed to independence;
that no taxes were ever laid on the
colonies for the support of government
or military authorities outside of
America; that a strong minority in
England was opposed to the war.
Few thoughtful people on either
side of the water would now dispute the
statement that the Revolution was, on
the whole, an advantage to the world;
because the Americans could render a
greater service to mankind as an inde
pendent nation than as a colony of
Great Britain. Nor would anyone
deny that the Revolutionary leaders
were convinced that they were suffer
ing from tyranny; a passionate feeling
of resentment keyed up the Americans
to continue a struggle against what
seemed overwhelming odds. Never
theless, dispassionate historians nowa
days, whether English or American,
whether John Fiske or Trevelyn, fail
to find evidence of deliberate ill usage
of the colonists, or a denial of what, up
to that time has been supposed to be
the rights of the people.
The Revolution was really part of a
protest of the English speaking race
against arbitrary and one sided govern
ment. Sir Edward Thornton, when
minister of Great Britain to the Unit
ed States in 1880, said in public: "All
thoughtful Englishmen now recognize
that you Americans were fighting our
battles."
In England the struggle finally
worked out into a development of par
liamentary responsibility, and then
into a reformed electorate; in America
a somewhat similar constitutional
change resulted in the formation of
slate and federal government of a diff
erent type; but the impluse was the
same.
It is oue of the world's misfortunes
that this struggle took the form of
such a division of the English race as
left the seeds of bitterness behind.
What is the use of trying to teach
little children to dislike a nation which
includes millions of little children,
because three or four generations ago
there was war between the two coun
tries? The groundwork of Asfterican
intellectual and political life is and
will always remain English. The true
principal in writing textbooks ought
to be to dwell upon our glorious herit
age of all of England down to the Re
volution, and much since that time.
Shakespeare is our dramatist; Eliza
beth was our queen; Tennyson is our
poet; Dickens is our novelist.
We ought to recognize the hut that
the English have been working out a
magnificent system of popular govern
ment on their own lines; that king,
lords and bishops do not interfere with
a government subject to public opini
on; that of all the nations of the world
Great Britain is that one which is
nearest to the United States in kinship,
in institutions, and in aspirations.

THE OLD-TIME REVIVALS.
. Evea sack aa orthodox paUieatioB
aa the Saliaa JouraaJ,owsd by Staa
tor Bristow, announces its comtictidi,
after prayerful coaaidtratioa, that the
old-faahioaed revival amoaata to aoth
iag more then "religtott emotioa," and
therefore is misdirected seal that might
be conserved for aoaoe other ftatare of
church work. It has no place, the
Journal believes, in modern church
life.
But as a matter of fact the Journal
is not alluding to the "old-fashioned
revival" at all. It speaks of the work
of the "hired evangelist" in connection
with the "old-fashioned" effort it has in
mind, and the Journal ought to know
that there is no such thing as harmon
izing the old fashioned revival and the
"hired evangelist." Had Senator
Bristow been at home no such error
regarding church history wouldhave
crept into his paper. For Bristow is
the son of a pioneer Methodist preach
er and he would have recalled at once
the suspicion under which the early
"evangelists" rested in the mind of the
regular preachers.
And besides, there was no such thing
in the old-fashioned church as "evan
gelistic" meetings. Neither were they
called "revivals" except in the techni
cal terms of the church. They were
known as "protracted meetings," so far
as the early Methodists were concern
ed, and when the "protracted meet
ings" were well under way there was
no other form of entertainment that
could compete with them in the small
towns. In the country places the peo
ple drove for miles in the coldest
weather to attend the meetings and
they stayed for the "altar service" and
the "experience meeting" and drove
home again only to go again the next
night and the next, and never miss a
single meeting until the "protracted
effort" closed.
It is not to be denied, of course,
that there was plenty of "emotion" in
those early revivals, but as to the
"hired evangelists" of which the Jour
nal speaks, there was none. The only
help the local pastors received was
from neighboring preachers who "ex
changed labor" and help for another.
Occasionally the presiding elder would
come in for a night or two to "rest"
the pastor in charge.
Usually the meetings would continue
for four weeks, but when there was
evidence of a general "work of grace"
and many snowed signs ot "convic
tion," they would go on to five or six
weeks. As a rule the meetings would
itot begin until the first of January, so
that they would not be interrupted by
the Christmas festivities, and if it were
found necessary to continue them on
indefinitely there would be nothing to
interfere. That was the old-time
"protracted meeting." Kansas City
Star.

But there is general agreement that an

of the Heary street settlement of New

practically all persons "equipped to

would be a very great aid to all work
ers for the good of the child and that
it would also operate as a moral force
a deterrent of injustice. It is proposed
that -the bureau be under the depart

tigate and report upon all matters
pertaining to the welfare of childrea,
particularly upon the following points:
infant mortality, the birth rate, physi

BOOZE AND HOMICIDE.
Liquor caused 258 out of 630 homi
cides in Alabama in the two years
ending September 30, last, according
to the biennial report of Alexander
N. Garber, attorney geneial. In the
previous two years liquor caused 348
out of G5G killings. Alabama, as you
may recall, has had statewide prohibi
tion during most of the time covered
by the last report, which would indi
cate that something has been accom
plished, even if it wasn't prohibition.
There have been fewer killings, and
a smaller percent of those that occur
red are charged to the cup that cheers.
But what a record it is still!
The southland has much to be proud
of, but so much to be ashamed of that
it shouldn't become boastful. And
nothing worse than such records as
this. Whisky is blamed, of course,
but really it is only incidental, and one
must look further for the cause of
promiscuous killing in defending or
avengine the honor of the south. In
London and probably throughout the
United Kingdom, drinking is far more
common than in Alabama, even before
the statewide prohibition lid was
adjusted. But in London homicide ia
extremely rare. The rule holds good
in Germany, also. Even Italy, with a
wide reputation for wine aad wicked
ness which runs to knives and guns
can hardly compare with some of our
southern states. There is a race prob
lem down there, to be sure, which may
have an" effect, but probably the
strongest influence is that southern
