Let til have a word now upou the taring grace of common Sense. For whether .ton denominate It tact, or talent, or diplomacy, or world ly wisdom, or sympaihyv Jt 4a.the crown of all otir facultlei and the Mires: equipment for aucceas tn life. Dangerous and delicate aa the propoaltlou la In this age of education, we are going to say that there Is folly In too much atudy, and essential error in an ultra devotion lo books. We have seen too much the empti ness, of scholarship without force or tart—the uselessness of mere Intel lectual ability standing alone In all the nakedness and solitude of meta physical abstraction. The world lx full of bookish theorists, who have educated themselves In the irnlnt of doubt and hesitation, and who. In the spirit of aclf dcprecla linn which so frequently goes with high-culture, ' suffer the native hue of renolutlou lo be slcl.lled o'er with llie pile cast of thought." preach plat itudes which they cannot live, proffer counsel which they do not keep, and many times go threadbare and seedy among the uncultured and practical nabobs who rule Ihc world through action and discretion. Idiri! llacon. that mighty genius In whom reasou worked like an In- Stine!, fell sometimes In action Into the folly of the shameful errors which In- had crucified in hia mural essays Dean Swift, the pride of hla arhnol. was lu a counlry purxonage at eight acorn a year, while Stafford, his block head schoolmate, amassed a million dollars. Mschisvclll, consummate master of nit the tricks and stratagems of diplomacy, could not turn a trick •<> get Ids bread. Corneille could not keep a dollar for Ills old age and had Ids Hi.x-kiiigs mended al Ihc street rornir. Adam Smith, who taught the nations economy, could not manage the economy of hla own house. Giants In the closet, thexe men were Infants iu the world, and recall the epigram ii|xin the Kngllsh Charles who "never aald a foolish thing and never did a wise one " And «» opposed lo them, how many strong men have gone nnciil lured io ihe.mastnry of their times' The men who wrested Magna Charts could not write their names. ' Charlemagne could scarcely sign Ills; Crom well was "Inarticulate." and Frederick the Great could not spell In any of the three languages which he essayed to speak. Uollngbroke, the scholar statesman, filed an exile from England, while Walpole, who scorn ed literature, held Hie reins for thirty years Disraeli, whose speeches were the literary feature of his time, established no policy and made no laws, while Mir Robert Peel, whose orations wore all narcolies, reversed Ills country'a financial policy,' regenerated Ireland and died with the bless ings of all Englishmen upon his head. Of rmirse. all this Is not an argument against education. Far from It. We are the champions of culture, and this not a cry against It. It la simply h pies for practical talent, tor the culUvallon of tact, tor the genius of common sense. To make education draw out these great and winning faculties Is Ihe Issue of the hour. Life Is action. Cold Intellect Is useless without the passion, the movement that gives It glow and energy and.ltfe. The serrel of all success lies In being alive to what Is going on about nr: lo adjusting onus self to slitting conditions; In being sympathetic and receptive; In knowing the wants of Ihe time; In saying to one's fellows what they want to hear or what they need to hear at the right moment; In being Hie sum, the concretion, the reault of the Influence* of the present time Ir Is not enough tn do Ihe right thing per se. H must be done at the right time and place. Frederick the Great aald of Joseph II that he al ways wanted to take the second step before he had taken the first. Tact and Talent Is the combination thal rules the world. Tuleot. it has been said, knows what to do. Tact knows how to do It. Talent makes a man respectable; tact will make him respected. Talent Is weallli, lad Is ready money. For all the practical purposes of life tact car ries ■ lie day against talent every time. Talent has compliments from the bench: tart touches the fees from clients and attorney*. Talent s|>caUx learnedly and logically; tact speaks triumphantly. Talent tuukes the world wonder tlinl It gels on no faster: tart excites astonish ment tlint II gels on so fssl. Ii has no weight: It makes no false steps; It loses no time; It lakes all hints, and by keeping Its eye diligently on the situation. It is tn touch with the bout ami the occasion and rules them both. Tact at last Is common sense. It Is n gift. Indeed, but It can be cul tivated, al least lit pari. It U the power of observation and of adapta tion. It Is worldly wisdom It la in being, and tt Is. above all things. In sympathy. It Is in kiioWHig The world, and In knowing how to humor and ibcretuie to lead lr. If 1* the cojuliiop sense that will not abuse at a banquet the grandmother of the must Influential man al Hie table. It will not H»k twice for fish In spile of the waning olze nt the plate. It will not full to put a "y in Smith when the owner of that name has formally an- noxril Hie loner, trwlll not vaunt self-in the pteaetree of vainer ineii IL preiident takei issue squarely with the reactionary element In hla own party and comes out for national legislation on this subject. It )t worthy of note that In the Brat debate'between Mr. Bryan and Mr. BevsrMge, In the current Issue of The Reader*! Magazine, there la no difference be tween them aa to the duly-of the national government on this question. Mr. Beveridge holding that the states rights doctrine ta. being Invoked for Ihe protection of the dividend! that are earned by the labor of the little ones, and Mr. Bryan bolding that under the Interstate commerce clause of Hie constitution, the national government has the right to control the transportation of child-made goods. This Is the position that The Geor gian has taken from the first, that through Ihe express delegation of this right by the states lo the national government, there arises not only • na tional right but a national duty. And we are glad to note that Leader Williams, of the minority In the house, and Representative DeArmond. who aspires to succeed him, were both vigorous In their protest against frustrating the‘purpose* of this In vestigation by giving It to the census bureau. The Democracy Is lining up on the right side, Ihe moral side, the humane aide, rather than the com mercial side, of this question. As in the pure food bill, the meat Inspection bill and Ihe rate bill, the president's foes are they of hla own household, and his friends the leaders of the Democracy, Hut the president,has gen erally won hie fight and the next congress, after bearing from the people on this subject, will he swifter to carry out the popular will. The Repub lican party will prove Itsell loo smart to allow such an lisue as child la bor to be monopolised by the Democracy with Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wlf- llama laying the oppression of childhood to the door of Republicanism when Ii had the opportunity to right the wrong. Just to show how deeply men are reeling on this vital question, we quote a paragraph from Mr. Williams' speech demanding an Impartial and thorough Investigation. He said: • This In a social problem, a problem of suffering, and a problem lo some extent, of murder, and of something worse than that, be cause It not only kills the little child to lie working at an unripe and immature age. Intellectually and physically, but It renders those children unlit to become the progenitors of the next genera tion. Everybody wants an impartial report." It may be that tile senate, by way of staving off a vote on the Bever idge bill, this session, will amend the house hill by requiring that the work shall lie done by the bureau of labor. Ilut sooner or later the facta are go ing to be known, and the American people are going to learn the whole truth. Not are we so lacking In faith In Ihe conscience and humanity of ihe American jtcople a* lo believe for a momenl that they will not act speedily niton the facts as revealed and abolish the evil of child labor In this land nf the free.
