It Is peculiar Tact that nearly erery :??*bUeim Uin m w*% Htfcal n.rr? ?|.r or th? United Itatee, and who has some reputation ither as a statesman or a man of iTairs, 'will taU you that the Republeans, so far as this year is concernid. are absolutely and hopelessly deeat ed. It sounds rerr aood to me as n old fashioned Democrat to hear hat sort of talk coming from Repubicans. who have been In authority so on* and who have been leaders of heir party In all th# political eam>aigns for tha last thirty years, From he outlook. I a*ree absolutely with heir aentlmenta. that unleas the Dem icrata play .the lnfarxfal fool at their onventfon la Baltimore, they certalny-wHflrln the fS-eetdency and.the lext House of Representatives and irobably the next United Slates Senile. It they do. they will win samehtng that has not occurred since Cleveland's last election in 1891, and hen can demonstrate to the -entire ountry the fact that the Democrats rt this country who are elected as epresentatlvpo of the people, can be onstfuctive legislators lrithe intersst of the people instead of ohstructve and destructive members of Cong-ess. . Jt la ^th a profound feeling }f personal misgiving, that I attempt :o prognosticate anything pertaining 30 this campaign, bue when you add two and two together and recognise the fact that Roosevelt Is ripping the Republican pary up the back o^ery Lime he opens his mouth and that La Fdllette is tearing great holes in the Republican armor every time he makes a speech, it Is plain to be seen that the Republican party is In a, bad say and that it is gradually getting s'orse. A Republican said to me today the* Roosevelt was out Jto de aroy the Republican party anci u looked very much as though he wore going to be a very successful destroyer. It also looks that way to every man in the Capital of this country who keeps his fingers on the pulse of politics and his ear to the ground listening to the echoes that come from the warrior.

Yesterday morning at the First Persbyterlan Church, the pastor. Rev. H. B. Sea right delivered * special sermon on education which was listened to by a large and appreciative audience. The text was: Lamentations Third Chspter 27th verse. "It Is good for a man that he bear the yoke In his youth." The word yoke was frequently Used by the Ancient Rabbis ss a fig are ui luiirucnuu or wiaCKUOD, it is so based by the Lord Himself when He says: "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me." A yoke ia a means of Discipline and of service and thus becomes an emblem of the process Of education, whereby the young are trained to obedience to authority and equipped for service. sThe speaker then dwelt ufcon the supreme importance .of assuming this yoke early In life. This suggested the theme I of the value of education in develop-1 ing childhood. Numerous authorl-j ties from Plato down to modern times were cited to prove that the qhlld's character and disposition is mainly formed by the time he is fivej years old. hence the molt important part of education are the primary grades. Mr.'Searlght then commended the excellent work now being donei by the Kindergarten department. Before taking up his subject proper Mr. Searlght gave a* definition of education taken from a lecture of Thomas Huxley: "That man, I think, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of hfs will .and does with ease and pleasure all the work that,' intellect'is a'clear' "eouT.^lo g$eJenglne^ with nil its parts of equal strength and In smooth working order; ready like a steam engine to be turned to any k^nd of work, and spin the gossamers as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is'stored with.a knowledge of the great-and fundamental truths of nature and the laws of her operations; one who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire but whose passions are trained to tome to heel fry a vigorous will, the 'servant of a tepder conscience; who has learned to love all beauty, whether of nature or of art, to hate all vilenesa and to respect others as himeaelf." In proof of this subject that education was a character builder or a great and blessed means of grace the following points were made: Firat: Education enlightens the mind and liberates the soul "Ye shall know the truth and truth shall make you free." A mind furnished with high and lofty ideals is far fortlfide against evil suggestions and assaults than an empty and idle one. The strongest and most steadfast characters are those most broadly based on the foundaion of truth. Second: Education trains the young in obedience to legitimate authority. The preacher lamented the decline of domestic discipline bnt found some compensation in the fact [that obedience to law is required in i the school. Thus children are trained for teacher citizenship by being taught respect for Jaw. Third: Education contributes to chafacteiM>y forming good habits and teaching ope self mastery. Fourth: Education contributes to character by equipping one for ser"ffc^ The trained or cultured mind is qualified to serve one's country and fellowmen more efficiently. The duty of serving the state should he taught in all schools. In conclusion the speaker made the toll owing practical applications: ThJ great responsibility resting upon th? teachers, who have such a large pari in shaping the minds and charact-l ers of the coming generations.
