as to issues that are calculated to turn
the tide in favor of our party.
L A definite declaration that the Fill
pinos will be given the constitutional
right to be self-governing, and will not be
held as colonial possessions" of the
United States, but as integers capable of
developing their land into States.
2. A revision of the tariff so as to with
draw protection from industries that are
SO far developed that they can compete
in the markets of the world without the
of fostering tariff schedules. And the
total abolition of the tariff on articles
controlled by monopolies.
3. An income tax law that will meet
constitutional requirements.
4. Election of Senators by the people
direct.
5. A return to the advocacy of bimetal-
lism, through international agreement.
6. Enforcement of present laws against
trusts" rings" mergers and all pre-
datory combinations of wealth that seek
to exploit the public.
These six principal planks will give the
Democracy issues that can be successful
ly debated; they are American through
and through
New York City.

Love of Outdoor Sports and Its
Effects Upon Growth of Country

ing any opportunity to observe a test of
muscular development.
In every man there is a certain amount
of animal nature which In course of time
has to come out. If he cannot yell, throw
up his hat, or abuse some athletic con-
testant from the spectators seat he will
gradually let this suppressed excitement
out ON his friends. He gradually becomes
sour.
At baseball game a male being from
the age of 100 to 5 years has the free
privileges of yelling just as loud and Of
ten as he pleases and this one reason Is
responsible for large share of the gate
receipts. Many an old father who is
mortified at his sons boisterous conduct
at a football game would feel embarrass-
ed If shown photograph of his actions
at a baseball game In the summer when
a player on the home team had knocked
a home run.
AS a result of this love of Americans
for athletic sports the people have grown
to greatness on q common ground and
though many republics have proven
failure the United States today stands
among the leading nations of the world.
Other republics have tried to array the
people into classes and have consequent
ly fallen.
No surer method for making a country
great can be found than the encourage
ment of physical development. Strong
bodies make strong minds and good hui
mored rivalry makes these minds alert

athlete when he meets his foreign foe
as to the army when defending the ma

600 Was Paid Last Year.

New York April 9.-New York city, in

port of the State Comptroller, was $4,0S4,

erson, N. j., and Benjamin d. Silliman
Of Brooklyn, at his death the Oldest grad
uate of Yale. Included in the collections
reported are payments to the estates of

fer These payments indicate that the

tiement.

SQUIRRELS DARE THE CATS.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Have you ever seen a squirrel dare a
cat? 1t is the most amusing exhibition of
nlschievous audacity. A large colony of
fat, enterprislng squirrels live in the big
elm trees of Walnut street, Brooklyn, the
descendants of pair of tame squirrels
that were owned by family occupying
one of the lovely old estates of early
Brooklyn in that vicinity, and which
were finally liberated to establish them
selves and their progeny as permanent
residents of the street. They are the tan
talizing despair of numerous cats that
haunt the place in search Of toothsome
morsels. The little creatures are wonder
fully tame and very quickly respond to
friendly overtures in the shape of nuts
which they soon learn to take from ones
hand. They scamper up and down the
big trees, Whisking their bushy gray tails
in saucy defiance of their feline pursuers,
who with eager eyes and watching
mouths, follow the tantalizing motions
of the squirrels as they frisk about al
luringly just out of reach of the cruel
claws. Sometimes the game is carried on
so daringly that it seems only hairs
breadth that squirrel tragedy is avert
ed, and yet very few occur and their
number and freedom seem undiminished

Since the establishment of the early
colonies in the Fifteenth century America
has encouraged outdoor sports and lead
ing authorities on psychology and physi-
ology now express the opinion that this
spirit has done more to establish the
present rank of the United States among
world powers than any other trait.
In athletic sports the United States
and Great Britain stand at the head of
the column and the love for field games
and muscular contests is steadily grow
ing These two countries not only stand
at the top in athletics but as world powers
could conquer the earth if united. Psych-
ologists argue that this prestige is
natural scientific result of exercising the
muscles of the body as well as the BRAIN
To substantiate this statement a COM
parison of the various countries would
be interesting.
Next in prowess to the English speak
ing countries is Russia Her strength as
nation is due largely to the immense
army and navy maintained and not to
regard for her courage or physical &C
tivity. 1t is true athletics are INDUCED
in to a limited extent in Russia but the
people are not endowed with that love
for field sports which exists in America.
Consequently, scientists argue, an alb
solute monarchy exists and the people
are ruled by fear, instead of regard and
the various classes can be brought to-
gether on no common ground
athletic
sports and in fact such things are al
most unknown In that country. The peo-
pie are narrow, haughy and treacherous.
China knows nothing of physical sports
and that country has progressed slower
than any nation the world has ever
known. Japan has come out OF such
lethargy and since modern ideas have
pervaded that country physical instruc-
tors are employed with every regiment
of soldiers to teach them the art of step
ping brislkly and the desire to overcome
their fellowmen in physical strength.
France INDUCES in field sports to a
limited degree and the people as rule
are small in stature and devote great
part of their time to slipping absynthe
and otherwise tearing down their sys-
TENS.
In Germany physical culture is taught
in every hamlet but the Germans have
never shown the keen desire for exciting
sport that is evinced in America and
England.
There can be no doubt that the con-
ditions of physical and mental decadence
that has been the history of many of
the great nations of the wrold, whose
civilization has passed and gone, has
been brought about by a failure to OBJ
serve the natural laws for exercise, both
for hn rlV-acal and the mental man.
That the mind can be trained and made
strong and vigorous and healthy, just as
can the muscles of the body, by well reg

BY BOHEMIAN C. BULeER

ulated and proper exercising, is a fact
that all students of mental phenomena
now agree upon.
Many leading instructors in physical
culture to substantiate this theory cite
the case of George Washington, first
President of the United States. Long be-
fore his political prominence Washington
was known throughout the Virginia col
onies for his great strength and athletic
achievements. An old story says he was
the only man in Virginia who could
throw stone across the Potomac river.
This great development of the physical
man did much towards his elevation to
the head of the colonial army and with
his indomitable spirit placed him at the
head of the nation he had formed.
1t is estimated that som ething over $780,
100000 are expended annually for the pro-
pagation of sports in the United States.
These figures appear enormous at first
glance but 1t must be understood they
include the prices paid for admission to
the great races. football games, base
ball games, prize fights, rowing contests,
field games and the various prizes Of
fered.
Since the advent of football into col
lege athletics the desire for young men
to be educated is estimated to have In
creased fifty per cent. Many boys who
love the woods and fields could not be
induced to be cooped up in the walls of
a sober looking college building for sew
eral months unless some exciting diver
sions were offered. At football they can
let out all the suppressed buoyancy in
their systems and though many think
their insane college yells and wild actions
at the game an evidence of "rowdyism
who can blame them for being eXhuber-
ant when they have been kept under the
eye of a professor for ten or fifteen weeks
without physical exercise?
The business men must also have OPP
portunity to get away from the cares
of life and baseball is the logical result.
He longs to see a test of muscles oc-
casionally and something has to be pro-
vided for that purpose. In some towns
where baseball cannot be afforded old and
young men can be seen lifting weights,
watching boys wrestle and in fact seek
