TiTK POLITICAL STORM CENTER- The conferences of the republican leaden in the western and central states, which have Just been held at the call of Chairman Hitchcock, must con firm the belief already prevalent that the political storm center In the Im pending campaign i to be found !n the central west. While everyone knows that battle fields are not usually picked out in ad vance by the generals, but are more often determined by the conditions which cannot be foreseen, yet, so far as the big political contest of 1908 is concerned, the picket l!ne9 seem al ready to have sifted the.mselves suffi ciently, at least, to mark the center of the conflict. Strangely enough, the underlying motive behind this year's political geography lies in the fact that the great middle west has been, and still is, the chief stronghold of Roosevelt ism. It is In this section that the president has had the staunchest and most unwavering support for his dis tinctive reform policies and it la here that the determination is strongest that these policies shall go forward without obstruction. It was the states of the central west whose Totes proved decisive in the nominating conferences of both great national parties and put to rout both at Chicago and at Denver "the allies" who would have faced the two parties about in a reactionary di rection. The strength of Rooseveltlsm In the middle west accounts for the Industri ous effort of the democratic candidate to make people believe that he is the logical legates to the magnificent rec ord of the republican president to the exclusion of tho republican nominee who, as secretary of war, has been part and parcel and a guiding spirit in the Roosevelt administration. The storm center states will deter mine the outcome of the November election. It stands to reason, also, that they will determine that the best way to stand by Roosevelt and to make certain of a continuance of Roosevelt ideas is by commissioning William H. Taft to be his successor. the English public toward American Institutions. That the boasted British fair play has received some very se vers jolts doling the time of the Olympiad at London Is probably true, but In the glory of the victory that has come to American stamina, skill and strength there should bo no bitterness of resentment against the losers. The words of Captain Phillips at Bantlago will apply with some force here: "Don't cheer, boys, those poor fellows are dying." Jail on the shoulders of the Tlndlcated citizenry. The right of freo speech is one of tho sacred privileges of the American citizen and any attempt to deprive him of it would be resisted to the last ex treme. But there Is another snd more important question involved. There can be no Question of tho right of the city council of Los Angeles to exercise control of the city's streets and parks, and the right may be delegated to the Ing sound that might bo materially lessened to tho comfort of all con cerned. There need be "no arbitrary Interference with enterprises and occu nations in which noise Is to some ex tent inevitable, but a vast deal of city noise is wholly unnecessary. Even this could be endured with more or less patience were It not for the fact, made emphatic by medical authorities. that most of tho nervous afflictions from which so many Americana suffer Many of the candidates are now pre paring labored addresses to tho work Login en. , Parties returning from their vaca tions always need to rest up a bit be fore going to work. Mr. Bryan objects to unusual sub scriptions, but is distinctly partial to those of the Commoner variety. Bahrador and Honduras are prepar ing to show the world that they raise something besides bananas. John Kendrlck Bangs thinks he may ran for governor of Maine. Bangs has dado his reputation as "The Cheerful Idiot" - When It comes to tho point where one man can control 3,000,000 votes bo will probably have himself elected president Mr. Taft expresses regret that he ever left tho bench. Chances are that Mr. Bryan feels worse over that than Mr. Taft does. Tho chief of police of New York has put tho . ban on barking dogs. He should go further and place the ban on barking men. Idle freight cars are getting back Into active service at tho rate of 1,000 day. They aro tho real advance agents of prosperity. The Hearst party proposes to nomi nate a man named Conn for governor of Indiana. Looks like an Infringe ment of tho democratic copyright. Summed up, the situation Is: Mr. Bryan will not profit it he carries the vest and loses in the east and, besides that has no chance of carrying the vest Speaking of the contract Mr. Roose Telt baa made for the publication of bis stories of hunting experiences in 'Africa , It Is mors profitable to be write than to bo president. 1 Charles N. Tillman has withdrawn from tho race for' the republican nom ination for governor of Tennessee. It would bo difficult for even southern republicans to vote for a man named Tillman. The younger Darwin expresses the belief that plants and vegetables have Intelligence. If that's true, something should be done to convince the average oamtaionpe - that it ought to be better than It is. t -- V.fl of the women stndents have been xpelled from tho Russian universities, but tho Russian bureaucracy's ldoal ed ucational system will not bo estab lished until -tho men stadents have also been expelled. , . . . . The eightieth birthday of Count Leo Tolstoi Is to bo celebrated on August 18. If the count gets any caudy from tbo csars palace en that day he had boot gtvo it to a chemUt instoad of passing It out among tho loved ones at ttooM. plttsbnrg has an average of one sul ctdo a day and wants to know what to tio to stop tho epidemic. At this dls tsaoo and going on th premise that tbo folks who have beon figuring in tho telegraph news from Pitta burg ore fiatas of tho epidemic, tho conclusion Is forced thai notlng should bo done THM HOH SCHOOL C0PK1JI Evidence that the elaborate public school facilities of this country benefit only a small percentage of the children above the age of 14 la afforded by statistics Just published by the Chi cago schools for the last year. The record shows that only 10.773 pupils were graduated from the graded schools out of a total enrollment last year of 248,508 pupils, and only 1,145 were graduated from the high schools. The heads of the school board of the city estimates that only 2 per cent of the pupils remain at their studies long enough to complete tho high school course. Proud as Americans must bo of their public school system, the cold, facts furnish convincing evidence that there Is a demand for a change In the-courso of studies In order to give the benefit of school training to tho majority of the pupils, Instead of to the few. Wo would have almost an Ideal nation, In point of average education, If the ma jority of pupils who enter the public schools should remain to complete the high school course. But It is regret table that the advantages provided at such a heavy outlay of publio money should be Improved by such a small percentage of the total school enroll ment The Droblem Is a serious one and cannot be solved hurriedly. It Is due partly to the school system Itself and partly to tho social and industrial systems which sacrifice the welfare of children to production and pronts, forcing youngsters into the shops and counting houses when they should be I In school. So long as theso conditions exist me school boards and educators are faced by the problem of providing the pupils who leave school at the age of 14 or 16 with all of the Instruction possible that may be of service to tbem in their work as bread winners. Steps have wn taken to this end in New York k. rhaneine the course of study in some of the schools with the view of giving pupils who cannot complete the Ugh school course, or who may not be even able to enter upon that course, training and instruction In man ual schools, in bookkeeping and dusi ness courses. This plan Is still in the experimental stage and the results of it still to be determined. The prob lem is one that should command the most thoughtful attention of all teach ers, school officials and parents. old joe raws io jut Great Britain is apparently pledged to the adoption of an old age pension bill, a measure providing that relief for the aged having passed the House of Commons by an overwhelming ma jority and having been passed by the Lords to second reading by a vote which assures Its eirly adoption. The British Pa.llament has been flirting with this proposition for years and its certain adoption is due more to party politics t'jan to any conviction among the members as to the merits or advisability of adopting of the measure. The Commons passed it largely for the purpose of putting the disposition of It up to the Lords, the general opinion being that the Lords would reject the measure. The Lords, however, have refused to be used as a catspaw to pull Premier Asqulth's chetsnuta out of the fire or to provide him and his party with an isrue. Had the Lords rejected the measure the Liberals could have gone to the coun try with the claim that it had done its best, but that its efforts for the relief of the aged had been frustrated by the hereditary legislators. This would have made a particularly attractive campaign Ibbuo for the liberals in their agitation for the abolition of the House of Lords. The proposed law is the most liberal ever attempted by any nation. It provides that every British subject who has attained the age of 70 years shall receive out of the public treasury the sum of $1.25 a week, on the sole con dition that he needs the money. No mental or moral examination is needed to get on the payroll. Everyone Is eligible without regard to color, previ ous condition of servitude or present character. The money is given as a right and not as a favor, so no ques tions are asked. The recipient may be a loafer or a criminal, but if he Is a British subject and 70 years of age he takes his place on the payroll with the most desirable and worthy citizen of the empire. The proposition to adopt tho German system of contribu tory pensions, by which the employe, the employer and the government each gave one-third of the contribution to tho pension fund, was rejected by the British law-makers and the pension was made a free-for-all. Most thoughtful men will agree that the English pension plan is essentially unsound, In that it operates directly against thrift and against industry, but that Is tho smaller part of the British troubles Just now. The pro posed law will call for the disburse ment of about $40,000,000 a year and no definite plan has been adopted for raising this amount. The national In come tax Is already 6 per cent and the Inheritance tax about 8 per cent, while all of the current taxes are oppres aivelv hleh. The taxpayers have about all they can bear and the Liberals will not listen to the talk of a tariff, even for revenue only. Indications are that the Liberals have raised an Issue that will come home to haunt them. and IhO rigni may US onrjuiru iu irUUl WUHU B Uionj nmri iiauc oiiuci -t. - a .AnnA n otiv ithpr nrnnerlv I r irenhl. itiroctlv tn tha naralatent. ... - . , ia Pf ,A n n A I At .. ..Inn. constituted auinoruy.

After the excitement that has at tended tha progress of the Olympic games at London has quieted down a little and calmer Judgment has its sway, it will be seen that the general caube of amateur sport has been bene . j ... . u nr the meeting. It uiuu ia nfr.rtunat that the Britlh inter pretation ot the word "amateur" ex ceeds the meaning given the term in America. TUU U not novel, however, for our English brethren have insisted ou the application of their peculiar rule for many years ana naiurauy oomo to believe that they are right and wo aro wrong. Tho difficulty ariseo from this rather than from any ingrained spirit ot unfairness. Our athletes, however clear meir r ma bo under the American rule gov erning amateur standing, aro con sidered largely in the light ot profes sionals by the British puMle. The victories won by the Americans sre not the lees satisfactory because they have boon achieved In te lace of adverse drrumstacs.

The city council of Lob Angeles, either through fear or through a mis taken idea of the rights of a munici pality when in conflict with tho al leged rights ot individuals, has gone on record of surrendering the rule of the city to the rule of the mob, under tho guise of recognizing tho constitu tional guaranty ot free speech. The incident Is particularly Interesting, as It is one apt to be repeated In every city. Bv a recent ordinance the city coun cil of Los Angeles prohibited public speaking in the streets, parks, etc., ot the city without a previously obtained permit from tho chief of police. Un der this ordinance a socialist spell binder was denied permission to use the streets for a public meeting. This started a furore and a number of or dinarily law-abiding citizens Joined with the agitators in openly violating the ordinance and defying the authori ties. The leaders were promptly ar rested and locked up In Jail, showing their bid for advertising or martyrdom by refusing to accept offers of ball for them. Among tho prisoners were Rev. E. A. Cantrell, pastor ot the First Unitarian church of Pasadena; Clouda ley Johns, a well-known writer; Mrs. Dorothy Johns, formerly Countess Pointkowskl, a graduate of Uryn Mawr college; Mrs. Vail Holloway. a wealthy resident of Pasadena, daugh ter of Dr. Isaac Vail, honorary mem ber of the Royal Philosophical Society of London, and former Councilman Arthur Houghton, who had voted against tho ordinance when it was up before tho city council for passage. In all, some forty personB were locked up, most ot them being property owners. The leisure class In Los Angeles Is large, and on Monday morning more than 3,000 nien and women had be sieged tho city hall, demanding that they be given the privilege of free speech.
