PHYSICAL TRAINING

The New York Sun prints the fol-
lowing letter to the editor from Luther
Halsey Quick, whose relatives live
here:
A writer in your paper of yesterday
ridicuies physical training in the pub
lie schools in general and the two
minute setting-up exercise in partic-
ular. Permit me to suggest a few
points in answer.
1. The largest sedentarye class in
America is the student class. Five
hours per day at the desk during the
growing period is enough to account
for the thin-chested anaemic children
too often seen in our schools.
2. Two periods per week for ex-
ercise do not combat the school desk
posture effectively. The remedy must
be as constant as the evil to be rem
edied.
3. 1t is the practically unanimous
testimony of the many teachers in
whose classes the exercise referred to
has been taken that the children have
clearer minds, show less restlessness,
and accomplish more work than under
former conditions.
A. These exercises merely put into
codified forn1A what most men do who
work at desks-i. e., stand up and
stretch occasionally, and take a few
deep breaths.
5. Walking between classes, and
even climbing stairs, does not overcome
the bent spine effect of the school
desk.
6. I have no desire to underestimate
the value of a knowledge of the loca-
ton of Timbuctoo or Tanjin, but Wig
orous erect carriage is worth much.
Six or eight minutes day is but little
to pay for results that influence ones
carriage and health for life
Z. The city is making the fight for
its very life when it endeavors to make
city schools foster instead of break
down the health of it's children The
time will surely come when graduation
from city schools will mean health and
capacity to do work, as much as it has
meant intellectual training.
In passing let me thank the writer
for the delightful mixed metaphor
that rare bird, the bookworm.''

military post. a fort or anything of the
kind, but as a convalescent camp for
sick troops returning from the Philip
pines. Circumstances soon proved
that it was not needed for that purpose

Of turning it back to the
Territory to be used for the agricultural
purpose to which it is well ADAPTED
and for which. in case of blockade,
it would be of inestimable value to the
inhabitants and defensive forbes of this
island. The military have a better and
more accessible reservation close at
hand; they do not need Leilehua for
any other purpose than the one to
which the Territory would be glad to
apply it. If war should come, with a
naval investment, the great tract could
raise hundreds of tons OF food supplies;
while as a military post it would be
useless and as a convaIescent camp no
more healthful and much less accessi-
BILE than the reservation of Kahauiki,
which the military now possess.

Germany has { weather eye on San
Domingo and Hayti. When any trouble
occurs there her gunboats hasten to
the spot. Time has shown that the
defeat of the San Domingo annexation
treaty by Senate which voiced
Charles Summers prejudices against
President Grant, was a loss of a ma
tional strategic and commercial asset.
By leaving the island to become the
prey of any powerful State which
might take advantage of us in a crisis
where we could not defend the Monroe
doctrine, the Sumner Senate bequeath-
ed a Pandora box of troubles. 1t is
becoming evident that the preserva-
tion' of the peace requires the United
States to take over every West Indian
island which is either independent like
San Domingo and Hayti or is for sale
like the Danish group. This country
needs them all if for no other reason
than to get them out of the way of
tempting foreign powers to challenge
the Monroe doctrine and bring on
great war.

Pain in Stomach

It has been said that healthy
person doesn't know he has a
stomach.
How unhealthy the dyspeptic
must be!
He feels as if he were all stom-
ach, and one thing that makes him
feel so is that pain at the pit of the
stomach = sometimes an ssaIl-gone
feeling; sometimes "burning
sensation"
Il suffered from, pains in my stomach
and could not eat. An old gentleman told
me to take Hoods Sarsaparille, which 1
did, and after the use OF four bottles I
gained my appetite, and / was soon COM
pietely cured, SO that now feel like q new
man. On no account would 1 be without

The Buckeye Society does well to
move in the matter of the Mckinley
fund which, in cash and realty,
amounts to about $4,000. The money
was raised for a park but after the
purchase of a tract of rough land in
an out-of-the-way place, enthusiasm
waned and about $500 cash remain
ing was left in bank. To sell the
land and obtain as large a cash fund
as possible is the proposal of the Buck
eye Club many of whose members be-
lieve that monument to the martyr
ed President should be built and the
park idea allowed to lapse.

This Law Countenances Robbery

In the exaction of a license fee from
automobiles the State might as well
seize the automobiles as for game war
dens to grab the game of an alien gun
ner who pays for the privilege of shoot
ing in Jersey. This is one of the fool
Inconsistencies of our game law; there
are others, but this one touches the limit
OF human endurance. Either cut out
the issuance of licenses to alien gunners
or permit them to retain the game they
have bagged. Otherwise the enforce
ment of this feature ofthe law condones
a robbery. 1t is expected that some
legislator, imbued with the spirit of fair
play, will strive to correct this public
abuse at the coming session of the
Legislature.-NeW York Press.

CHECKS OPEN DOOR PLAN.
Prince Ching Refuses to Open Towns
I'm ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Omclnls Mystihed.

Picking, July 23.-Prince Ching, the
president of the foreign Office, has writ
ten to United States Minister Conger
refusing to open towns in Manchuria.
In his letter he dwells upon the impos-
sibility of China opening to foreigners
towns which are not in her possession,
bit which are held by Russian troops,
and points out the complications which
would be likely to follow. 1t Is believed
here, however, that compromise may
be reached by including one town-Ta
Tung Kao-in the new commercial
treaty.
Washington, July 23.-Inasmuch as
the Chinese government very recently
has expressed its willingness to yield to
the desires Of the United States for open
ports in Manchuria the officials here are
at loss to understand the communica-
ton sent by Prince Ching to Minister
Conger refusing this concession. They
have received no advices on the subject.
