The minister, who came to call at the Brown home, de- manded the reason for this failure. “My rheumatism is much worse than it has been for years,” Mr. Brown began, “and I can not walk so far.” “Tut, tut,” laughed the minister. “I believe it is a lack of religion.” “Sir,” Mr. Brown drew himself up cur, auttury firmly, “my religion is in my heart ix (Stockholm). not in my legs.""—Indianapolis New lesson has been more frequently and emphatically banged into the heads and pocket-books of the public than the plain one that brutally expressed—a foo! and his money are soon parted. Humanity knows instinctively that it is dangerous to jump into deep water unless we know how to swim. No amount of educa tion by reading or example keeps folks from jumping into get- rich-quick enterprises without the slightest knowledge of busi- ness or finance. Popular education in other directions seems equally futile. The greater the advantages provided the less the masses seem to profit. Free education was to be the corner-stone and founda- tion of American liberty. It has been provided amply, from the primer to the highest post-graduate courses. Looking at the results in politics, art, literature and in the standards and ideals of the people at large, it is not entirely pessimistic to wonder whether we would perhaps not have been better off to have stopped at the little red school-house stage and let further edu- cation come only to those who valued it enough to work for it. The weak spot seems to be that in seeking to make education general we have confused education with wisdom and common sen: The idea was tersely expressed by the millionaire father who 1s lamented that he had wasted a ten-thousand-dollar education on a two-dollar-and-a-half son. NNESSEE appears to be making, at present writin, valiant effort to lock the stable door after the horse been stolen. Woman suffrage is so actual in the country large and the gaining of some other state through woman's irresistible persistence is so certain in the near future, that all the energy being expended in Tennessee seems like shooting in However, Southern legislatures have to amuse them- i y and this is Tennessee's own affair even 3od’s screechers from other states have sought by their lobby ing to give it a national aspect. The news that Tennessee had actually ratified threw the politicians into fits of speculation as to what effect the added woman’s vote would have on the presidential result. As in other cases where mere man is dealing with wily woman, the speculation landed nowhere because it had no sure basis to go on qually interesting but more local is the speculation as to how greatly the spite vote of the professional Suffragists is going to affect the election of Senator Wadsworth in New York State. icomicbooks-com
