Kt til John F. Stevnne' SATURDAY EVENING. Let ue have a word now uixm the eavlnt brace of common sense. For whether >ou denominate It tact, or talent, or diplomacy, cr world- 1.1 wisdom, or aympatby. It la the crown of all our faculties »nd the surest equipment for success In life. IMiibemua and delicate aa the proposition la In tbU ate of aducatlrei, we are piling to nay that there la folly In too much study, and essential error In an ultra devotion to books. We have seen loo much the empti ness of scholarship without force or tael—the uaeleaaneaa of mere Intel lectual ability slandlnp alone In all the ttakedneaa and solitude of meta physical abstraction. * The world la full of bookish theoi Isis, who bare educated themselves to the point of doubt and hesitation, utid who, In the spirit of aalf-depreela- lion which so frequently poes with high culture, ''auffer the native hue of resolution to be Kiel,lied o'er with the pale cast of tboupht." preach plat itudes uhlrli they cannot live, proffer counsel wblrh they do not keep, and many limes po thread hare and seedy amonp the uncultured and practical nabobs who rule the world Ihrouph action and discretion. l/ird Macon, that mighty penlus In whom reason worked like an In stinct. fell sometime! In action Into the folly of the shameful errora which lie had crucified In bln moral essays. Dean Swift, Hie pride of hla school, was In a country parsonage al eight score a year, while Stafford, his block head schoolmate, amassed a million dollars. Machlxvelll. consummate master of all the tricks and stratagems of diplomacy, could not turn a trick to gel hla bread. Corneille could not keep a dollar for hli old ago and hail lilx xtiM'klnga mended at the street corner. Adam Smith, who taught the nalloua economy, could not manage the economy of hla own house. tllanls In the closet, these men wero Infanta lit the world, and recall the epigram niton the Kngllsh Charles who "never said a foollalt thing and never did a wine one " And as opposed lo them, how litany strong men have gone uncttl- lured lo the mastery of their times! The men who wrested Magna Charts rnuld not write their names. Charlemagne could scarcely sign hla, Crom well was "Inarllrulale." and Frederick ihe Crest could not spell In any of the three language* which he essayed to s|ieak. Hollngbroke. the —nebular-vtetc*ma«7-fled-a«—eslle from England, while Walpole._whu jtcui'ik.. ed literature, held Ihe reins for thirty years. Disraeli, whose speeches were the literary feature of hla time, established no policy and made no laws, while Sir Hubert Peel, whose oral Iona wore all narcotlca, reversed hla country's financial isilley, regenerated Ireland and.dled with the bless Ings or nil Kngllahmen upon hla head. I)f rottrar. all this la nut an urgument against education. Far from II. We are the champions of culture, and this nut a cry against It. It la simply u plea for practical talent, for the cultivation of tact, for Ihe genius of common sense. To make education draw out these great and winning facilities la the Issue of the hnttr. Life la action. Cold Intellect Is useless without the passion, the movement that gives It glnw and energy and life. The secret of all success Ilea In being alive to what la going on about us; In adjusting one's self lo existing conditions; in being sympathetic and receptive; in knowing the wunts of the time; In saying to one's fellows what they wnnt to hear or what they nuad to hear at the-right moment; In being tlie sum. (lie concretion, (lie result of the Influences of the present time. It Is not enough to do the right thing per se. It must bp done at the right time and place Frederick the Great said of Joseph II that he al ways wauled lo take the second step before he liutl taken the flrat. Tart and Talent la the rnmhlnatlon that rules the world. Talent. It lias been said, knows what to do. Tart knows how to do It. Talent makes a man respectable: tael will make him reapecled Talent la wmllh. lari Is ready money. For all the practical purposes of life tact car ries ihe tiny against talent every time. Talent has compliments front the bench; tart touches the fees front clients and nttornoya. Talent speaks learnedly and logically: tart speaks triumphantly. Talent makes the world wuuder_that It gets on no faster; tart exeltea astonish- mem that t» get- ,m iu> fast II has no weight: It makes no false.atopa: It loses no time: It lakes all hints, and h.v keeping Its eye diligently on Ihe situation. It Is l,t touch with the hour and the occasion anil rules them ls)t It. Tael at last Is common sense. It la a gift. Indeed, but It ran be cul tivated. nt least lit part. It la the power of observation and of adapts- president takes lune squarely with the reactionary element In hit own party |nd cornea out far national legislation on this subject It la worthy of note, that In the Brat debate between Mr. Bryan and Mr. Beveridge, In the current Issue of The Reeder's Magaxlne, there le no difference be tween them aa to the duty of the national government on thin question, Mr. Beveridge holding that the atetee rights doctrine la being Invoked for the protection of the dividends that are earned by the tabor of the little ones, and Hr Bryan holding that nnder the Interstate commerce clause of the constitution, the national government hen the right to eoatrol the transportation of child-made goods. This la (he position that The Geor gian baa taken from the first, that through the express delegation of this right by the states to the national government, there arise* not only • na tional right hut 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 ,M *th vigorous In their protest against frustrating the purposes of this In vestigation by giving it to the cousus bursau. The Democracy Is lining up on the right side, the moral side, the humane aide, rather than the com mercial aide, of this question. As In the pure food bill, the meet Inspection bill and the rate bill, ihe president's foes are they of his own housohold, and Ills friends the leaders of the Democracy, Hut the president he* gen erally won tils fight, and the next congress, after hearing from (he people on thla subject, w ill be swifter In carry nut the popular Will. The Repub lican party will prove Itself too smart to allow auch an Issue as child la bor to lie monopollxad by the Democracy with Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wil liams laying the ojipresalon of childhood to the door of Republicanism when it had the opportunity to right the wrong. .Inst to show how deeply men aro feeling on this vital question, we quote a paragraph frum Mr. Williams' speech demanding an Impartial and thorough Investigation, lie said: .This la a social problem, a problem of suffering, and a problem •o some extent of murder, and of something worse than that, be cause It not only kills the little child to be working at an unripe and Immature age. Intellectually and physically, hut It renders those children unfit to become the progenitors of the next genera tion. Kverybody wants an Impartial report." It may be that the senate, by way of staving off a vote on the Hever- trttre tittt, this Krsstnn. wttt amend the house bill by reqntrtng that the work shall be done bv ihe bureau of labor. But sooner or later the facta are go ing to he known, ant] Ihe American jieople an* going to learn Ihe whole truth. Nor are we so lacking In faith In ihe conaclence and humanity of the American poople*aa to believe for a moment that they will not act speedily U|ion the facta aa revealed and abolish the evil of child labor In this land of the free.
