HF. great fleet that came in at Sandy Hook a week ago will pass out again late this afternoon, and only the memory of certain magnificences—the night spectacle of ships outlined L in flame, the day’s pageantry of movement and color seen through clouds of pungent smoke—will remain ‘of an assemblage of floating power that stirred the pulses with its potencies of war, Lest we forget, let it be said that America’s face is set toward peace, and its purposes should be the more persuasive in world coun- cils because its ships are well manned and their guns shoot. straight. When it proclaimed the Monroe Doctrine, this country safe- gvarded « whole continent from European aggression. Its mission | in the twentieth century is to lend the world toward a goal in which | Justice and not force shall determine controversies. Such leadership ie work for the strong. The most formidable array of American sea power yet brought * together is reviewed to-day by the President who planted our insti- tutions in the Philippines on the heels of conquest, who himself has been Secretary of War, but whose first claim to fame is that he hae striven as no man before him for peace between nations. His work is embodied in arbitration treaties which await ratification. It @hould be the people’s business to press these to passage. 4 THE CRIME OF INDEPENDENCE. NE crime Murphy and his “boys” recognize, and in the Legis- O Jature and elsewhere strive to punish. That is independ- ence. They struck at it in the Levy election law. They etruek at it in the primaries. Other blows have been delivered by the Appellate Divisions here and in Brooklyn. So far as lies in the power of the Tammany Legislature, the Tammany primaries and the bench of this city, political independence has been wiped out. The Levy election law tore up two clauses of the Constitution in a vain attempt to aid Murphy here and up-State by embarrass- ing fusion movements and repressing the rural Republican vote. Yet ,q@cry member of the Appellate Division but one in this district con- curred in sustaining the law—and shared in the rebuke administered by the highest court of the State in striking out two sections of it. Enough was left, however, for the Appellate Division in Brooklyn to @eny Assemblyman Terry a place on the ballot as an independent candidate from the Heights district, the ground being that his list of nominators included fraudulent names. If this decision on technicalities is allowed—and they are tech- nicalities, for, unhappily, fraudulent names creep into all election petitions—every Democratic Assemblyman in the last Legislature with a will of his own will have been climinated. Every man who voted for Shepard and against the “perfect charter,” save Mr. Terry, las been denied renomination and has accepted his fate. Mr. Torry was denied renomination, but is running independently. The dis- abling blow, instead of coming from Fourteenth street, comes from the bench of the Second Judicial District! Happily, there is appeal from that bench to the highest oourt, and there is appeal from the Murphy primaries to the elections, ——__--4-+____. THE BOY OUT OF SCHOOL. HE American common school is the nation’s pride—the com- mon, not the high school. Before the latter is reached pupils begin to drop out. According to the Federal Commis- sioner of Education, half the children are out of school. “More than four millions,” he says, “have quit school after finishing their ele- mentary education who onght to be in high school.” Not every child should enter high school, yet many quit too soon, and this indicts the system. It declares the “feminization of education,” the employment of women school teachers, because they are cheaper, in place of men whose oversight and example the boy weeds. But this tendency will be corrected wherever, as in this city _jbereafter, men and women receive equal pay. Undoubtedly also the | recent development of high school athletics has done much to retain the interest of active lads. Above all, the child out of school is a loud call for industrial education, for training that has more direct relation to livelihood There must be something to replace the apprentice system, which passed when the shop gave way to the factory. There must be means of assimilating the applied knowledge developed so profusely | in the industries. One German city, Munich, has thirty or more trade schools, such as are almost unknown here. When they become common the active boy will not quit school prematurely to “earn! his living,” for the way to a livelihood will be through them. HE Hon. Martin W.
