RESIDENT TAFT, epeaking at the Press Club din- confidence that implies that Mr. Taft is quite aware ‘of tact that whereas no Republican Committee in this State in- ape him for a second term ast fall, he has had such an indorse- §ment this month from the Republican Committee of this county. ‘Furthermore, he knows perhaps that the election of William Barnes “Fe as Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee is some- ‘thing more than a straw. So he thinks the “status” is established. ) But Mr. Taft has a larger constituency than that of Republican ir than is necessary to got rid of it. $e SCHOOLS FOR FOOL PARENTS. T @ discussion of “self-government in the public schools,” before the City Club, the trend of the ar- gument and the weight of testimony were decidedly gratifying. All the speakers commended the plan and the consensus of authorities was that the ex- periments thus far made have been encouragingly 3 successful. It was reported, however, that the system has not had euch uni- ly good results in the city schools as in those where the pupils ave.wholly under the influence of the teacher. According to the statement of Mr. George, of the George Junior Republic, “fool parents see disturbing element.” ae: This, of course, revives the old issue of home education versus education. The children of the public schools have both sys- to undergo and very often the methods are so contradictory as to @onfuse the youthful mind and engender a double standard of morals. ~ “Why not start a general school of instruction for fool parents? ‘BE the methods and processes of the self-government system were fully ‘emplained to them, it might be found to operate in the home as suc- “Weefully asin the schools, , 4.04 =.” THE CUSTOMS HOODOO.

He had driven the English almost wholly out of the land, and had begun to build up his country’s battered fortunes. Then he died, and was succeeded by his baby son, Charles VI. While this new King was still a minor his four uncles ran France to sult themselves, and sorry work they made of it. They misused the people, overtaxed them and drove them to revolt. Riot and bloodshed reigned every- where. The peasants banded together, looted the noblemen's castles and tried to start @ reign of terror—four hundred years too early, for the time had not yet come when gunpowder was to make a cripple's trigger finger stronger than the most valiant armored knight.

The people were ground down end France was impoverished. It was @ state of mingled anarchy and oppression that dragged the kingdom far along the road to ruin, The youthful King's royal uncles, meantime, wrung money from the poor, wasted it on riotous dissipation and stirred up foreign wars. The little mon- arch, Charles VI., was @ inere puppet in their hands, At last the wise Cardinal of Laon aroused Charles's conectence and opened his eyes to the disasters that were breaking dowd his kingdom. ‘The uncles, learning of this, poisoned the Cardinal But his work was done. Charles was roused to @ sense of his duty. The King threw off his uncle's corrupt yoke, surrounded himself with wire counsellors (most of whom were drawn from the ranks of the common people), and started an era of humane and just rule. Taxes were lightened, injustice was redressed, commerce and true progress were encouraged. The crushed land began to recover from its terrible injuries, Charles was afterward nickt- nome “The Beloved.” Contentment and prosperity set in. The future looked bright. ‘Then, in 139%, the royal unoles incited a mumlerous attack upon Oliver de Cusson, chief of Charles's advisers. The assassin fled to Brittany, whose duke (backed by the uncles) refused to give him up at Charles's order. Charles ratsed an army and marched against Brittany to enforce his authority. As he and his escort were passing through the forest of Le Mons, during the march, a man clad in white sprang from a thicket, seized the King's bridle and screamed: “You are betrayed!" ‘A page, who rode just behind Charles, carrying the monarch'’s lance, was s0 etartled that he lost his grip on the weapon. The lance fell from the care- less lad’s hands and clattered down with a crash upon Chanies's head. The dlow’s force, or-the sudden shock, drove the King violently insane, Shouting “Down with all traitors!” he whipped out his sword and flew at bis amazed followers. He killed four of them before he could be overpowered and disarmed. He was carried back to Paris, a hopeless lunatic. This was the very chance for which the uncles had longed. They put the King in a barred cell, banished or imprisoned his wise advisers, and seized the reins of gov- ernment. Then, held back by no further fear of reforms, they entered on a career of graft and incompetence that drained France's. life-blood. They cppressed the people, they quarrelled among themselves, they blundered in statesmanship. ‘The happy era of prosperity which Charles had built up was utterly de- Ss poor King lived on for thirty years in confinement. (Playing-cards are said to have been invented during this period to amuse his calmer hours) Now and then he would have @ lucid interval, just long enough to realize the wretched condition of his beloved country without being able to do anything to atem the tide of destruction. ‘The climax came when the English King, Henry V., attacked the stricken land, overcame {ts armies and made himself master of France. ‘A great kingdom's humiliation was at last complete. And, in a sence, the whole chain of disaster may be said to have started with a boy's awkwardness, oo the tyranny of lords, sheep.
