Every church, every court hou»e, whether of Supreme or Circuit Judge, of Municipal or of MagUtrate, I* a aohool and all mon end women who at tend their exercise* and take part In their proceedings are both teacher* and pu^ll*. Every office, whether of public servant* or of professional men, every bank, mercantile establishment, manufactory ie a *chool. All men, whether they be law abiding or l*w breaking, are teacher*, for no man llveth or dleth unto himself. But the most Important of all the ed ucational force* and means of the State, or the nation, are the newspaper pen and aclasore, for the learner* from and through them make up the larger part of citlsenshlp. The newspaper Is a dally, trl-weekly, semi-weekly or weekly peripatetic teacher. It goes Into hamae where the voices of the mtaUters. the profeselonai men. the lee chert of books and ef the *|.e*ker» of oampelgas are never beard. It is a atafortuu* that there are so many home* Into which the printed teacher never enters. Whet place should the newspaper bald la tba educational system* and growth of tbe State and counties* Weald It net be b*(t«r that their ed- Itera ahoukd be clothed with the power and eentrelted by tbe principle of hold ing tbeaetlvee Jndgee of ebat should be printed en J circulated end of what abonld be denied publicity f Should they net ha forbiddea by the ethlce of their prefeeelon and the expectation* af their readers to teoeme advocate* er oppoiMeta of aay tad svery cauee er candidate r Tbe preeldlug Judge* la the circuit eeerte may reataU Use facte and deflue Iba law hut the measurement and weighing and application of tbe fsru eeenrdtng to legal standard Is th* apaalal privilege and responsibility or the Jerwrs. whoee unbiassed verdict aetlatee public eploion aud proves th* aeeuted has been convicted or acquit led by tbe Judgment of bis peers, and the right* of citlsen* righteously ob served. Sboeld th* newspaper occupy faithfully thl* Judicial posltioa, "un awed by power and unbrlbed bv gala, M woald not the public coofldance la It* force and fairness become so deeply grounded, established and for Hied that Its strength would be re aewed with every Issue and Its influ ence never fall f Could that condition be established and maintained would there not be many an Aaron among the best and best Informed and moat patriotic cltl- sena to hold up tba hands of the edi torial Mosea while the battle for the right goes on and tbe Issue Is In peril? Whether or not the newspapers of tbe old time* were more Influential than now la not a question for debate. They commanded a larger respect be- oause they were not ao numerous for A ene reason, but especially from the fact that tba lawyer, the preacher, tbe pbyslclao and tba farmer under the ante-bellum civilization had more of leiaure for thought and the expression of well digested opinion than In these commercial Tears when self interest Mgapels more ingroesiog consideration and effort In personal concerns. There la as much talen^M ever, but the times aud their circumstances are not so favorable to its exercise in public af fairs. Tbe reluctance of the average •Ulsen to engage in newspaper corre spondence la natural svban he knowa that his editor is a partisan holding op posite opinions and aa ready to hit a head whenever within inciting reach aa an old time son of Erin was to Ipulata hi* stick at the county fair. ' The ruit of that shining New Tork paper that claims to print '‘all tbe mws that's tt to print" If made unt ight aolvo tho problem of the provlnoe la that It would fiWB bslag wads, tbe seeps ke Weifoi lith the efae ef the dletppolnM lad dleeoeteoted. It woetd lillie a clearer responsibility on IN Individual to do a manly part In tbe public affairs affecting him, bis In- teraaia and liberties and th* general walfare. Lack of confidence on tbe pert of the people In the Integrity end truthful- of the preea Is net a sweeping epi demic and whatever of It exlste Is of only surface depth. Were It at all ganaral the newspapers would be ex cluded from tbe homes of the peoples* relentlessly as tbe door* would be t closed against the entrance of the min ister who would preach Infidelity, of the lawyer who would advise the com- antsston of crime, of the teacher who would falsify fact and train up the child In tbe way it should not go. There arc two sldea to every quea- tion. The politician and place aeeker hold to the public gaze tbe darker pic ture of human selfishness and narrow ness of vision and error of judgment, as seen through their jaundiced eyes', and In the brain storms raised by their appeals to prejudice and passion a treaty of peace may be made between the wolves and 4he sheep and the waicb dogs of the press that have guarded the flocks given up as hos tages to bind tbe bargain. There Is an Innate protest In the American people against dictation, against the rule of bosses a/id there may be amang tbe least Informed a suspicion that there Is a newspaper trust in existence that would If It could rule the State at any cost. In the hand* of the politician without tha Illumination of the press the Individual is aa one wandering In the darkened night In strange paths, beguiled by the false lights that float before their eyea and their destinies are shaped like rlsy In the (totier’a hands. As we remarked one week ago, "the one hope of the commonwealth has been placed In Its schools and their teachers are tha guldea of th* progress and guardians of the fortunes of the future It was pretty hard to resist the temp Utlon to take a hand In the melee of the rarent Htate campaign . Two prln clpal reflections prevented In th* first place we had the confident belief that the readers of 'his paper have, in the Btaln, the good Intelligence end pa triotic principle to decide for them eelre* what men and measaret are beet calculated to secure the government end administration needed to safe guard the preaenl and make sure a tet ter future. In the next place we have outlived lire enthusiasms nf hero wor- s tip end we are not quick to follow any volunteer prr phet unless convinced of his Inspiration. Tbe excitements of the recent ram palgn seen end heard afar oft reminded ue of the frtendlv cell amt homely phlloeopby of an octogenarian e score of yeere ago. Looking out of e West window toward the While Oak Mpring he remarked remlulacenily : ‘ I've seen an acre of men fighting down there end they were so lightly wedged to gether that when one got tils ngti bend raised lie could not get It dowr to bit anybedy. When all were tired the. quit In good humor and none bore more eerloue marks of conflut than bruised noees tod blackened eyes Mott of the free fighters did not know wbal such scrimmage* were about." In one of bis admirable esaaya the great Macaulay eeld that liberty bat many changes of form At times It It a loathsome serpent Inflicting grievous wounds, but afterward becoming beautiful good fairy that rewards (he faithful who have kept true with the choicest end richest blessing*.

Tbeir horlaone of thought are equally nar row, net extending beyond the Held of politics. They do not appear to real ise that the newspaper* have other and better things to do than to be th* men Fridays of self called candidates. If the newspapers have lost in po litical Influence bow bas It been and continues with other piofessioriH, pur suits and callings I* Is there not a lack of the reVerence for law, of the respect for tbe courta and their judge*, of the esteem for tbe churches and their ministers, of tbe honor for the lawyer and tbe teacher feltzs matters of principle and pride In tbe daya of auld lang syne? Now appeals from the findings of juries and tbe decisions of judge* ap proach In number the rosters of the oases tried. Kevlyal meetings are practically no more and education is tbe preparation for personal advance ment and not for the public service. And has not tbe politician, the legis lator, fallen from the high estate that bis predecessors of past decades held'( If our preacher readers are at a loss for a timely text for next Hundav we suggeat tbe selection of the New Tes tament story of the storm on the lake when the frightened disciples woke the sleeping Christ with the prayer, "Lord, stye or we perish."

THE POLITIC A L LABYRINTH. It may be several weeks before the State Executive Committee will de clar# the results of the Democratic primary held on August 27th and or der the second primary for tbe attorney generalship. The sub-committee of seven appoint ed to investigate charge* of fraud and Irregularity In the flrst primary bs* s great task set it, as the vote of every county in the State has been protested by Judge Jor.es so far as the eonteaL for the Governorship It concerned. Tbe committee makes tbe good be ginning of declaring that tbe investi gation is not to be partisan or in the Interest of either Governor Blease or Judge Jones. Among the best sup porters of the above named candidate* there Is tbe same desire and determina tion to save tbe primary system by cleansing it from ail fraud or suspicion of politloal wrong doing and so restore the confidence of the people in that way of making nominations. The contest does not affect the Con gressional and county election results. Senator Tillman bat been using tbe pitchfork with old time vigor. Gov ernor Cole L. Blease and candidate N. B. Dial were hit targets. They re turned the compliments with uniifraid tempers. Tbe three are quiet now, resting from their Ittbors, waiting and watching lor tha next opportunity to mix.

We venture tills p ditioal prediction : Attire November election the Northern Republicans will divide their votes be tween Teddy and Taft, but support with unbroken ranks dyed in the woo) protectionists for Congress and tba State Legislatures that elect I’nited States Senators.

The Republicans won out in Maine on Monday/defeating the Democratic Governor, who was a candidate for re- election, and gaining one congressman. "Ephraim Is joined to bis idols,” let him alone. So far Governor Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate for I’resi dent, seem* to be much ahead of Teddy and Taft in the race for the White House and gaining as be goes.

Long Shrouded In Myetery, a Schoorvsr. The queer accident* that have hap pened to Maine veasels would fill n volume, and some of them would not be believed. An old coaster captain recalled the mysterious wreck of tie* little schooner Active In Fox Nlaml thoroughfares some years ago. It was fn tbs fall of the year, and the Active was going through the narrow pas sage between the Islands. She carried only two men. tho master, <.'aplain !tny, ' and his sixteen year old non When last seen under sail Hie Active was shipshape, the levy at the wheel and hla father below taking a nap, as it was afterward found. Next day tho Active was found on the rocks, wllh her stern stove In, the master drown ed in his bunk and the boy dead at the wheel with a bullet hole In his head. This discovery caused a great wonsa tlon, and there appeared to be no mo tlvekjor any one to kill tho boy, and aa itwas known that tho shot must have been fired by a third person, the whole affair was a mystery rtml re mained thus for years, when a man in a distant state confessed on his death bed that It was he who fired the shot that killed the helmsman of the Ac tive. The man said that he had fired at a hawk, which was circling low. and did not see the schooner, which suddenly came into range, owing to an inici ven Ing clump of bushes. Then bo was horrified to see the boy at (he s. boom er's wheel throw up his hands and fall to the deck, while the vessel broached to and was driven ashore hy the wind and tide. The gunner, who was after gulls and ducks, fled without wnifim: to Investigate the result of his nnfor Innate shot, fearing that if he reported the matter to the authorities ho inmlit. although innocent of any criminal In tent, be imprisoned. —Washington Dost.

Ask any fan bow faat an avanf* grounder travels daring Its Drat hun dred feet from the bat, and bis answer will be anywhere from 20 to 200 miles an hour. Split second watcher and careful timing of many groand balls have established the fact that the overage speed of many groand ballH-thnt Is, those struck by th* bat of the batsman from a fair pitched ball, which strike th© Infield before they land In a fielder’s hands—go at the rate of almost sixty miles an hour. Sixty mlies an hour is eighty-eigbt feet per second. The bases erg ninety feet apart. A man who can run 100 yards in eleven seconds, which is fast running for any one, but particu larly so for a man with baseball aboes and uniform on. can run ninety feet in 3 3 seconds. Is it any wonder that a bitll which Is fielded in its first 100 feet of travel usually reaches first base just n fraction of a second before or nftcr the runner sets foot upon it? Every fan knows that the many close decisions at first base form one of the fascinations o’if the game. The speed of a batted ball,.the speed at which a fielder can travel from his position to Hie point where he can meet and field the batted ball, the speed with which he can stop the ball, pick It up, set himself for the throw, make the throw, the speed of tho ball across the dia mond from bis throw and the speed of the traveling runners are so nicely balanced that it is always a question of whether or not the runner will get there hi time for the crowd to see the umpire's hands go down or whether he will face a thumb over a shoulder indicating that ho Is out—Technical W orld Magazine.
