VALUE OF RIGHT LIVING.

IN SAN FRANCISCO the other night
two men fought for the heavy
weight pugilistic championship of the
world. 1t is well within the bounds of
truth To say that billions of people
were interested in the outcome. At
every bulletin board throughout the
Union thousands were gathered to
listen to the returns. to cheer each
blow and To toss ready caps in air in
honor of the victor.
One of the men who fought is nearing
middle life. The other is in the flush
of sturdy young manhood. an athlete
of athletes, veritable behemoth
among fighting men. That the older
should have stood before the younger
for nearly twenty-fCuT minutes of
actual battle is a wondrous thing: that
he should have held his own and more.
up to the very moment the fatal blow
cut him down, is little short OF miracu-
lOus.
And yet no long journey is required
TO find the reason. 1t may be summed
up almost in two words-right living.
AT an age when most men walk will
ingly apart from the strenuous exist

which go hand-in-hand Herewith. he
is a novice. The once mighty John L.
Sullivan, today only a few years older
than Fitzsimmons, is physical wreck.
The average prize fighter at the age

men may be guided by with profit 10
themselves and their associates. Clean

In a sense. every one of US is q
fighter. The so-ealled squared circle, .
with it's blazing lights, the arena with
its tier on tier of excited humanity are
not the theatres OF the best of human
endeavors. The fighting that counts is
done on the outside. 1t is not measured
by rounds. but by days ana weeks and
months and years. Some must be
counted out by the referee. public opin-
ion; others win their battles. but al

the assurance that defeat was not then

A WATER CURE SCHOOL,

COLONEL Stephen W. Groesbeck
" comes home from the Philippines
with strange words on his lips. The
colonel goes farther than any regular
or volunteer officer in defending the
ways of the service in the country's
island possessions He is quoted as
saying:
Il believe the water cure as prae-
ticed by the Americans in the Philip
pines to be the most humane method
Of obtaining information from Grim
inals of war that is known to modern
warfare" Colonel Groesbeek thought
the cure" had been abused only by a
few overzealous and Inexperienced Of
ficers.
The last statement brings out the
necessity for educating young men
who expect to command other men in
home or foreign wars Here We find a
long list of useless studies at West
Point. Such unimportant matters as
mathematics. history, languag es an
cient and modern. engineering and ath-
letics, but not single line of instrue-
ton on that great adjunct to civilized
warfare. the water cure torture.
Doubtless Colonel Groesbecks inter-
view wiz bring the authorities TO a
realizing sense of their shortcomings
A water cure class should be estab-
lished immediately at beth West Point

SILK CULTURE EXPERIMENTS.

4 RECENT ARTICLE on the silk in
\ dustry in the United. States gives
some interesting facts as TO the sue
cess of the undertaking, particularly in
the south. Labor cost is the chief item
Of expense in the production of raw
silk. and the south is able TO furnish
child labor at almost as low figure
as China. Colored children hitherto
without earning capacity have been
utilized most successfully in the care
and feeding of the silk worms, provid-
ing healthful. remunerative occupation
and adding materially to the revenue of
their families.
The difficulty of providing food for
the worms has been obyiated by the
substitution of the Usage orange for
the mulberry leaves. The Usage orange
is hardy. makes splendid hedge fences,
and requires very little attention TO
insure a profuse growth. even where
climatic conditions are uncertain. Silk
from the Usage orange has been found
quite as valuable to the manufacturer
as the mulber product. and the dis
covery of its utility has resulted in the
ablishment of a new industry in the
south. with. every prospect that it will
attain large proportions.
1t would be interesting to know
whether the introduction of this new
food for silk worms could be effected
proftably in Utah, where silk growing
on a comparatively small scale ha:
been practiced with some success for {
number of years. In the southern par
of the state. especially i'm St. George
several silk plants have demonstrated
the adaptabiIity of the Utah climat,
for silk culture and the encouragement
offered the business by legislative ap
preparation has enabled the promoter.
Of the industry TO educate the peopl,
in the best methods of culture.
With this foundation. it ought to b.
possible for the state 10 produce enough
silk to make 1t an important CONNER
eial product. and eventually invite tn
establishment of silk manufactures oil
a large scale.

THE SUMMER WHOEVER.

the other day about a poor, forlorn
summer wfdower This unfortunate
man had eaten lobster salad for a

BY way of trimming he had INDUCED

Eggs. sweet pickles, stuffed olives,
rickled pigs feet and other dainties.
He had also eaten few fresh peaches.

summer widower He kisses his wife
and the children goodbye and tells
them how lonesome he is going TO be.
His letters drip with woe. Oh. how
awful il is out there al the house all
by himself. The poor man goes to bed
at 9 O'clock just to pass the time
away He gets up early and waters
the lawn and then hurries down town,
hoping he can forget for awhile.
Really. for the first few days he inn
AGNES he is the most abused man on
earth. And then. like the sod widower
whose light has gone out. he proceeds
to light another candle. Instead OF
shaving every other day he shaves
every day. He is more particular
about the appearance of his shoes and
his linen. He looks about him a bit
as he walks down the street.
His friends have heard how lone
some he is, and invitations pour In
upon him. He goes out to dinner some
where every night, tells the good people
how lucky they are to have a nice
comfortable home. and how sadly he
misses his family. Then he hurries
down to the club and writes a droopy
letter to his wife. He hopes she is
having a good time and wishes he
could say the same for himself. The
lawn is looking all right, and goodbye
now. for he has to go to bed.
Three hours later he is sitting behind
q small set of threes, wondering
whether he ought to draw one card OF

THE SCHOOL BooK MIDDLE.

DCBLIC SCHOOLS and their manage
ment ought to be kept out of parti-
san politics altogether IL such thing
were possible, political methods ougat
never TO appear in the selection of
school officials. But SO long as politics
do appear. it is just as we'll to make
the officials chosen by party organiza-
lions recognize their responsibility for
their acts, not only to the general pub
lie but to the specific party which elect
ed them.
State Superintendent Nelson offers a
case in point. The head of the great
school system of the state, he counten-
anced, if he cid nct direct, the proceed
which selected books for the state pub
lie schools.
That convention held its sessions in
secret. 1t voted by secret ballot on the
selection OF books 1t gave a -conspic-
uous example of the evil that always
attends secret deliberations of public
bodies.
Something like 30 per cent of the
, books chosen were changes from the
books in use The changes would have
involved an enormous expense to the
parents of school children throughout
the state, without any corresponding
gain in the quality of the text books.
Either by accident or concealed de-
sign. the chief beneficiary of this ex-
! traordinary revolution in text books
was TO be the school book trust. whose
methods do not commend it TO the re-
| gard of people familiar with It's history.
All of this was done without word
of protest from Superintendent Nelson.
On the contrary, he has pefsistently
furthered the adoption of the new
books and is now appealing a case
which still further complexities the sit
/ uation.
/ In the lower court an injunction was
/ granted against the execution of con-
! tracts for the new books on the ground
chiefly, that the secret sessions and
| secret votes were in violation of the
law governing the adoption of books
/ II the case had rested there, the old
books would have been used for an
! other year, there would have been nc
additional expense due to changes OF
I
been mapped out with certainty for at
least a year.
Mr.. Nelson appealed the case. 1t can
not be argued before the October tern
| of the supreme court, and decision
! is unlikely before November. Mean
! while the schools viii open with the
old books in use
II the supreme court reverses th'
lower court there will be a season Of
change. a disturbance of studies in tbs
middle of a school year, and conse
| quent loss OF money to parents, to sa!
nothing of the effect on the pupils.
Mr.. Nelson's course is incomprehensi
BILE on any reasonable ground. If he in
sists in pushing his appeal. he may ex

them discussed with a. freedom anS

And fall. dead, upon the track
Heroic meni they sank TO rest
Without a moan or protest.

Sacrificed to a wish TO save.
