The Hygiene of Old Age

We look upon the aged with good
reason as having slender hold upon
life, one that may be loosened by a
slight shock of injury or disease
which, in the young or middle-aged, h,
would serve only as a stimulus to the
reparative vital powers, This is a
conservative belief, but it warns us to
shield our loved ones, who have
fought the fight, from all influences
which might shorten their stay with
us. But we must not go too far in our
solitude, for injury may be inflicted
and life shortened by coddling the
young. The vital processes in the
aged are slow, but they are still exist
ent, and they may be kept active by
gentle opposition and stimulation,
just as they may be increased in child
hood and youth by rough methods.

Nearly ScaIped at the Smelter.

Reuben Hess, who lives at the ex-
treme north end of north State street
narrowly escaped being killed at
Works No. last Sunday and as it
was he was partially scalped. Hess
works in the pottery room and was
thus engaged last evening when belt
slipped off and the bolt which fastens
the ends together, was jerked swiftly
past his head. He was knocked down
but got up, rubbed hisIhead and went
to work Shortly later he keeled
over and when his hat was removed it
was found that cut several inches
lDng on the side of his head loosened
his scalp. He was taken home and
given medical attention and will soon
be fully recovered.

While very earnestly hope, there
fore, hat the qualifying words in sec
tin /, and wherever they occur in sub
sequent sections, may be stricken
out, yet whether they are or not, |
shall most cordially support this bill.
| disagree utterly with the declaration
of my friend from Georgia (Mr.
'Adamson) that this bill is the "incon-
siderate outcome of hysteria" rather
than the product of cool deliberation
and the triumph of wise craftsmanship.
The people of the United States do not
become hysterical, Mr.. Chairman, but
they do sometimes become terribly in
earnest. This bill is here, it is true,
in response to a popular demand; but
that demand springs not from hysteria
or fear.
1t is the expression of grim, reso-
Lutte, and well-considered determine
tion that this nation must be liberated,
If liberation is possible, from the
noisome and alien breed of anarchy;
liberated from the terror by pight,
from the pestilence that walketh in
darkness, from the destruction that
wasteth at MONDAY. Fot for the fear
that anarchy may overthrow govern
mept; not for the fear that so many
wise and great may fall az the hand of
thelassassin that noneIshall be left wise
and great enough to administer the
affairs of state; but because the peo-
pie have right to the life and service
of those whom they choose to execute
their will, and because the men thus
chosen have the right to feel that no
extraordinary danger hangs over
their heads.
can not see in this measure, Mr..
Chairman, any menace to free speech
or free press or to the exercise of any
other right guaranteed us in the Con.
stitution. A hundred years of self
government has made it easy for us to
draw the line between legitimate critic
ism OF public officials and public
policies and seditious assault upon
the Government itself That line must
be drawn. The law is for the lawless,
and those who are law abiding need
not fear it. The law against larceny
does not harm the man who does not
steal
A law which closes the gate OF Castle
Garden against an avowed anarchist,
which drives from our borders those
already here, which prohibits the
utterance of an anarchistic speech or
the publication of anarchistic ltera-
ture, and which Furnishes with death
an attack upon the life of the Presi-
dent or anyone in line of succession to
him, will put no restraint upon the
man who has not treason and mLrder
in his heart.
Let US write such law upon our
statute books; let us serve notice that
this nation will defend itself no less
against the bullet of the secret assassin
than against the guns of the open
enemy. Nothing less will be the meas
ure Of our duty: nothing less will meet
the patriotic demand and the just ex-
pectation of the people. Loud APP

TEACHING TO TILL.
Money spent by the English Govern
ment I'm Aiding Education in
Agriculture.

The decline of British agriculture
is a mournful phrase so constantly be-
fore us that the publication of the
annual report on the distribution OF
grants for agricultural education and
research excites pleasurable anticipa-
tions.
The pleasurable anticipations are,
however, not altogether fulfilled un-
less the contemplation of the ex-
penditure of the munifcent total of
fs,05o in 1900, an excess of $500 over
the previous years total, can be said
TO fulfill them. 1t does not look, on
the face of it, like heroic attempt
TO lift British agriculture out of the
mire, says the London Express.
But there is the satisfaction afford
ed by a bulky report which nicely
spreads that es,050 over 210 pages of
official verbosity.
The larger sums are, il appears,
awarded in the form of subventions
to the collegiate centers of agricul-
tural education, and among the spe-
cial features may be noted the pay
ment of f200 each to the joint conn
Gil of the East and West Rulings and
to the University of Cambridge. This
was in recognition of the acquisition
of farms by these centers.
1t must be conceded that there are
far more facilities for instruction
available to agriculturists than for
merly. Perhaps the supply is equal
TO the demand.
"As yet neither the western, west
midland. nor northwestern groups of
counties have seen their way to form
regular combinations for consolidat-
ing the several schemes of agricul-
tural instruction which they have or
ganized for themselves"
In the report there is a reference to
"the complete and classified if some
what costly arrangements of the
French government for its active agri-
cultural population of nearly 1000, 600
persons, of whom by far the largest
section were farming on their own
account on a cultivated area so great
ly wider than our own.
"Jhe forms of instruction applica-
bic to a country such as England,
where the mean level of production is
already well ahead of other states,
will necessarily differ from any of
these types.
with us the highest form of science
has to be appealed to; to teach how,
without undue cost, theory may be
safely applied TO practice, so that each
bushel of grain or each ton of meat
raised from British acres may be still
further improved in order TO meet
the strain of competition from lands
of low acreage production on widen
ing and extensive areas.-
This reference to widening and
extensive areas" does remind one of
certain extensive areas of untitled
land in Great Britain.

Special orders, it is said, have been is

not entertain any theory Of suicide.
When asked today concerning tho state
u.ent of coloner's physician. Albert T..

man might have taken his own life, the

ten would not testify at the hearing that
Brooks might have killed himself

| The chief difficulty in the way Of the
suicide theory, which It is said. the po-

| fact that no weapon was found in the
room where young Brooks lay. 1t he had
/ shot himself In the head weapon would
