the facts as they are. 1t is perfectly
defensible position to hold, that even
with the raised requirements for adj
mission the college course should still
be four years in length; but this posi-
tion must not be defended by appeals
to the old college and its standard.
''The supporter of this position is
not a conservative; he is a radical in
novator, who holds that six years
course is now necessary in order to
lay the basis for professional studies
and to make the preparation for life
for which four years formerly sufficed.
He must defend his new plan, and
must prove that it promotes scholar
ship, strengthens character and in
creases the influence and the useful
ness of the college in our domestic
society. If he can do these things, 1,
for one, will throw in my lot with him
without hesitation. If he cannot
prove his case, then I prefer to pur-
sue the old ideal along established
lines by methods adapted to our new
knowledge and our wider experience.
''As view the facts, the traditional
American college is disappearing be-
fore our eyes, and will, unless disin-
tegregating influences are checked,
disappear entirely in another genera

or country club, for the sons of the
well-to-do. This, again, may be a
good thing; and it may, on the whole,
be gain rather than loss to assimi'
late our educational system to those of
continental Europe by eliminating the
college as the connecting link be-
tween secondary school and university.
''But those who so hold must not
argue in the name of the college which
they would destroy. They must de.
fend the early specialization involved
in putting-or rather in keeping-tbt

A remarkable story of plot to assas-
sinate President Roosevelt has just
come to light. 1t was told by Mrs. Lena
Dexheimer of Hoboken, recently one
of the inner circle of an anarchist
group. There were three in the plot
and rather than do the deed they all
committed suicide. The President be-
longs to the people and every pre-
eau ion should be taken to protect him
from the anarchists who hunger after
his life.

ANTHONY Higgins comes out this
morning with long review of the poll
tical situation in Delaware. In pur-
port it is one against Addicks and one
in favor of himself; one to throw Ad-
dicks out of Delaware politics and
another to boost himself for one of the
coveted seats in the United States
Senate, The Legislature will attend to
this and it is hardly likely that Higgins
will be selected as one of the senators.

A GREAT WORRY CURE.
Common Sense Is the Best Remedy
That Can Be Prescribed.

That Can BE Prescribed.
/ once asked a physician what cure
he could suggest for the worrying hab-
it. Il would prescribe common sense"
he said, 'and If a man or woman
hasn't got a stock on hand and cannot
cultivate one the medical man is pow
erless." This worrying nonsense grows.
The best means to cure it lies in the
hands of the woman herself.
If she will just call a little horse
sense to her aid, resolve not to borrow
trouble, to be cheerful and think upon
the right side of things, she will live
longer and be able to retain her beauty.
Every woman has the strongest desire
to keep her good looks. Why, then,
does she take the course which is sure
to make her yellow skinned, dull eyed
and thoroughly unlovely?
The EnglishwOman Is greatly ad-
mired for her utter refusal to worry or
to be worried. Consequently she looks
young at fifty. Undertaking no more
than she can comfortably carry out
and firmly believing in the coming of
another day, she does not procrasti-
nate, but simply will not let the domes-
tic machinery grind her down to i'll
health and an early old age.
She is a frequent bather and regards
health as the prime factor of life, to be
looked after before everything else
She sleeps nine hours and also takes q
nap during the day, arranging hel
work in the most systematic manner.
Her little memorandum slip always
shows two vacant hours-they are fol
rest. She eats heartily, but of the mos
digestible food, and would rather have
a mouthful of good food and go partly
hungry than eat a whole meal o.
cheaper things. Philadelphia Inquirer

ALMOST A MlX-UP
IN THE HARB0R
Tues.g.Fearles, Runs Down Bow
Line OF the America
Maru.

There came near being serious trou-
BILE last evening when the America
Marin entered the harbor and prepared
70 dock at the Channel wharf. The
vessel was sighted off BARRIERS Point
at $50 %. m. and at 7:3O was in the
harbor. Pilot McCauley performed a
feat in maneuvering the japanese liner
bv swinging her entirely around in the
harbor basin, almost upon her own
axis. despite heavy wind blowing off
shore. The proceeding was watched
with interest. When almost about the
ship called for the tug Fearless to
stand by to prevent her sagging toward
the lighthouse. Finally her nose was
turned seward and in the direction of
the Channel wharf. A tow-lirie was
passed over to the wharf and the side
movement was begun. The tug slid in
between the steamship and the wharf

soon as the officers on the boat and peo-

began yelling to Captain Olsen to re-
verse as he would foul the line. Either
the captain did not hear, but he surely
did not see the tug hawser stretched
across the intervening space for he con-

just as the Jap sailors loosened it off

The Fearless was finally backed en-
tirely out of the dangerous locality and
the America Maru was worked over to
the dock without her assistance.
The Jap liner takes in 500 tons of coal.
She will leave at 10 o'clock this forenoon
as Captain Going wishes to get into
San Francisco by daylight on Wednes-
day next. He is two days behind time,

YOU WILL NOT

be deceived. That there are cheats
and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what
line of trade it follows. There
can be no permanent success Of
any kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief-as they deserve.
Now many persons are, neverthe-
less, afraid to buy certain adver-
tised articles lest they be hum
plugged and deluded; especially
are they slow to place confidence
in published statements of the
merits of medicines. The effec-
tive modern remedy known as
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
is as safe and genuine an article
to purchase as -four, silk or cot
ton goods from the mills of man
ufacturers with worldwide re-
putation. We could not afford to
exaggerate its qualities or misre-
present it in the least; and it is
not necessary. It is palatable as
honey and contains the nutritive
and curative properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us
from fresh cod livers, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
HYpophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry and
how valuable such a blending of
these important medicinal agents
must be is plain to everybody.
1t is beyond price in Weakness

thing better-perhaps nothing so
good. DR.. w. lei. Dale, of Cana
da, says: EsI have used it in my
practice and take pleasure in re-
commencing it as valuable ton
ic and reconstructive." 1t is a
remedy that can afford to appeal
to it's record and represents the
science and knowledge of bright
and aggressive medical investiga-
ton. Effective from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists here.
