Is it because teacners fall into me
chanical, monotonous ruts of teach

manner so school-like and so little
school-llko that it never occurs to '
the pupil that what he learns from I
his books has any connection with
or application to the things that oc-
cur in everyday life? Here we think troubles. The Republican party is
is the trouble, and In this wo should ,,lK e'louS" a"d strong enough to

a raco of children In our schools who
will know more at the age of 12
of what is practical and useful than
our children know when they leave
the common schools at an older ago. i
The civilization that Is Just ahead
of us will find better ways for ad
justing differences between capital
and labor than wrecking property
and smashing heads. Tho easiest
way in the world to get man to see
as you see and think as you think
Is to appeal to his hotter nature.
It Is unnecessary to say that you
cannot do this by jumping upou
111 m with hob-nailed shoos nnd stamp
ing tho gizzard out of him. Such
methods to gain a point aro tho most
Illogical that can bo devised. They
aro certain to destroy every atom of
sympathy that may exist and arouse
anger to Its highest pitch. It Is ovi
dent that that Is a poor beginning
for a deal in which concessions aro
expected. The automatic adjustment
of wages to correspond with tho cost
of living by moans of a sliding scalo
is ono of tho means of avoiding
troublo; the conclliatloiiv board ls
another, but oven those aro not per
fect. Tho only porfect method of
establishing right relations betweon
capital and labor Is by tho application
of tho golden rule, which, simple and
easy ns It Is, seems hardest to get
Into tho code of tho world.

Very gonoral regret and sympathy
was oxprossed for ex-Auditor General
Snyder last week by his mnny friends
on tho Hill, when it became known
that the Supremo Court had affirmed
tho decision of tho Dauphin County

by Judge Kunkel on Mr. Snyder and

I know nothing of It. However, tho
final decision has been given and the
sentence is effective. '
On the same day that tho Supreme j
Court handed down its opinion in the
criminal cases, Attorney Oeneral
Todd began civil proceedings against i
tne original defendants in the Capi-
tol cases, including their predeces-!
sora. bondsmen and others connected I
with the building, finishing nr fur-

verse decision of the Supreme Court!
stllart Promised, during his cam- j
palgn for election, that tho Capitol I
InnUer shou,d ,)(J thoroughly I)robedi
if he should be chosen Governor, and
tho guilty persons punished. The
Governor is trying to keep his word
to tho people.
Looking around us, one cannot
help but notice that our neighbors
over in New York are having a few
troubles of their own at Albany, and
tno whole nation is watching the
"aI,!n,ger;Ilncht, co,nir.yey at ;
L.ast the outcome , but wo can slze up
one prominent feature In all these !
uaniiiKiun. ii is uiuicuii. to iore-
" "--. "u n ! prouauie
that no legal proceedings can bo
begun until his present term of of
fice expires. It is believed that Gov.
Stuart will name a person for the
office, wio will bo commissioned,
bonded and qualified for tho office.
Should Mr. Sheatz refuso to deliver
the olllco to his nppointeo, a writ of
quo warranto will Jio asked for, the
case going directly to the Supreme
Court, and a decision promp 'y
reached. It Is understood that 3
present Treasurer will not heslta.o
to transfer his position to any offi
cial whoso qualifications have been
passed upon by tho Supremo Court.
Newspaper reports of tlio street
car striko In Philadelphia have been
very much exaggerated, and It Is
somewhat difficult to Judgo as to
whether tho sympathy striko ls a
success or not, from any standpoint.
Thousands of laborers havo quit
work, but more aro paying no atten
tion to suggestions or requests to
abandon their positions. Probably
most of these latter aro non-union
laborers. In tho central part of tho
city conditions nro ns peacoful and
quiet as usual, though disturbances
nro frequent In tho factory section,
KonBlngton and Frankford. What
over tho outcome, tho loss to tho
Quaker City is no Inconsiderable
Item. Bills for damages to property,
expenses of various kinds, to say
nothing of tho lawlessness, discon
tent, riotous spirit and anarchy, fol
lowing In tho wnke of overy striko,
nil combine to rnlso tho question,
Do strikes pay? They certainly nro
not beneficial to any community, and
many ablo labor leaders dlscourago
and defeat strikes as an effectlvo
weapon to tho very Inst. Tho out
come of this ono will boi carefully
watched. N. E. HAUSH.

that there is no belligerence evident

deemed strategically advantageous
in tho event of a struggle or diffi

It is not denied that speeches re-

that this progressive naval pro

Diplomatically this Japanese plan j
Is considered evidence of dissociation
from the theoretical group of unjty
that existed between tho powers pre
vious to the rejection of tho Ameri

of tho Manchurlan railways.
Semi-official figures in the posses

Japan already has options upon
three first-class battleships, nine
cruisers and five torpedo-bont de
stroyers at present flying tho flags of
smaller nations whoso navies are

witnesses who testified that there

that the ovidence does not show a

After disposing of tho licenses,
Judge Searle took up tho case of tho.
Commonwealth against Fred Bran
