REDUCING SCHOOL HOURS.

Tn New York we understand that 1t is seriously proposed to cut the school day down from five hours to three and a half. The excuse made is that five hours Is too long to keep children "con- fined." We confess that we must be ignorant of modern day children. In the old days when the school time was at least eight hours a day we cannot remember any harm coming to them from the alleged confinement. If a teacher was of the right sort he gave them proper recesses and play hours, and when school was out their books were put away and they were free till next morning. Will any intelligent. well-informed person assert that the men and women who went through the schools of fifty years ago were less virile and healthy than are those of the present day? A fair and truthful reply will say that the reverse is true.
 It may be possible that there are school buildings so badly constructed, so crowded and so lily ventilated that the pupils suffer by being confined in them. whether the time be nine, five or three hours. In that case the rem edy is better houses. If five hours are
 hurtful a shorter time would be open to the same objection. And there is another point that seems to us worthy
 of consideration. so far as city children
 are concerned. Suppose the children
 only spend three or fours hours in the
 school room. what are they to do during the remainder of the day? Will the
 parents keep them confined in their
 homes. or let them run out on the
 streets? Or will the teachers require
 them to do all their studying at home?
 We really fail to understand where the
 benefit to children in the cities will
 follow cutting down the school hours.

 This man has the right view. al- though his insinuation that he will be fighting his white neighbors if he votes is unwarranted. The negroes who are qualified to vote can do so and not be mo1ested. That Is not question. how ever. that should cause any contro- versy. The important point is that the negro who obtains a practical educa- tion and improves 1t by engaging in some trade. or acquiring a farm Is do' ing the best thing he can for himself He Is taking the only course likely to make him independent and contented The colored porter talked sense.

Retter Drama Is Popular.

"The last two weeks of theatricals in Montgomery have been remarkable in one respect" said play-goer. There have been three attractions at the playhouses during that time and two of those attractions were Shakes perean productions. There are two attractions on the boards this week and one of them is the work of the i'm mortal bard. Now this is a pretty good average for the higher things in theatricaIs and it is worthy to relate in favor of Montgomery that the audi ences which attended these perform ances, despite the season of the year, would have done credit to any proouc- tion.
 '"rhe people are returning to an ap- preciation of the uplifting drama. In my opinion the conventional musical comedy depending largely on the rustic of skirts and the exhibition of lingrie will have passed away within five years"

THE ENvIOUs MIND.

The poet tells us that Ease envy withers at another's joy" and we often see evidences of it on the part of some of our esteemed contemporaries. Be- cause The Advertiser put forth for the instruction of suffering humanity 9 sure cure for warts. The Norfolk Land mark sputters and prances In this style
 In comparison with the warts they nave fin Alabama, Virginia and North Carolina warts may look pretty feeble Indeed, We have always suspected that the edifices they call warts down there are really wens If fellow had an Alabama wart, he might think it well worth his while to test the Alabama glibly volunteered by The Advertiser A man with an Alabama wart is not to be censured for trying anything. The possessor of Virginia or North Caro- Tina wart. however, should prefer its retention to the heroic remedy advo- cated by our self-satisfied friend in Alabama.
 By the way, what sort of leaves does The Advertiser use to cure its corns? In the spring, when the pedal extrem- ities have tendency to expand. the fancy lightly turns to this more seri- ous question. It has often struck us as. most fitting coincidence that the Pilgrims Progress was written by John Bunyan.
 The remedy given to the world by The Advertiser was the result of long experience. It is hoary with age and venerable because of it has received the Endorsement of thousands. Alabama warts are the genuine article They are not wens, nor are they limitations. They can be cured by the treatment we suggested. Faith and proper ap- plication Is all that Is required It would be impossible. perhaps. for our Norfolk contemporary to apply 1t, be- cause it requires the patient to get out before sunrise, and that is prob ably against Virginian ethics. So much the worse for them.
 And what necessity was there for ringing in corns? They are an entirely different proposition. The Virginians who roam the hills barefoot may not be acquainted with them, but those of them who wear shoes know what they are. We are not offering a free rem edy for them, because we have no desire to interfere with the specialists Our contemporary may relieve its pains temporarily by the application of cot ton batting and vaseline. but a corn doctor will fit it better.

His Latest Header.

q
 President Roosevelt's latest header into Dominican troubled waters will not strengthen confidence in either his steadiness or his prudence. He Is try Ing to do by indirection, and in a way doubtfully legal, what he endeavored in vain to persuade the Senate to give hlm power to do lawfully and directly. As in his seizure of Panama, he seems to aim at creating situation" during the recess of Congress, which Congress when it meets will have to accept, even heighten the apprehensions which Sec retary Hays poor health and absence had already reused. The haste with which the President closed with the suspicious offer of Morales Is not credltable to his caution. No inquiry (before going on hun) to await Min ister Dawson's proposed coming to Washington, keeping the question "open" while, as that diplomat suggested, but d hurried decision on what Is confessedly half-information. the foreign policy of great nation be conducted. And where does Mir. Roosevelt find his authority for permit ting mo change" in the situation in San Domingo? Acting Secretary of State Adee explains this to mean that the President of the United States will maintain the status quo in San Domin- go That is, he will put our ships and marines at the disposal of President Morales. He will allow no revolution to overthrow the Dominican President. even if 1t be supported by a majority Roosevelt has no more warrant in law than he would have to prevent the Czar of Russia from being dethroned by an uprising of the Russian nation.

 Few business men are better known throughout the country than Alfred Speer of Passaic, N, J. Although he is over eighty-one years of age and the head of a large concern. as well as the editor of The Passaic Item, yet he found time to write the following let ter, hoping that it would be of interest and benefit to our readers.
 ITO the Editor:-

For some years past have been a victim to nasal and throat ca tarrh, and during that time have ex- pended a great many dollars to spec ialists, and had my t@roat sprayed, washed and smoked week after week. The first time I used Hyomei l was surprised at the change it brought. This was a few months ago, and have used it occasionally since.

A writer in The New York Times tells of a recent incident coming under his own observation that Is not without significance. Travelling on the railroad he encountered a colored porter with the grace, manners and language of a courtier." Questioning the negro about 1t. the latter informed him that he could find nothing better to do, al- though he had been well educated. He said:

 Life c Hardship.

Testfhes-Traveiing Man's
 Life . Hardship.
 The coming of spring brings with it more joy to the travelling man than to almost any other citizen of our com- munity. Never before have those trav- cling in this section suffered as they have this winteer. Many travelling men have been forced to give up their po- sitions because of what cold rooms, damp sheets. and general poor condi- tions have done to their health. The one most prevalent disease of all this winter among travelling men has been catarrh.
 Our reporter in speaking of this mat | ter with Mfr. E. G. Fowler, the other day, was more than interested in the letter shown which we publish below: Some telve months ago had to give up my position as a travelling sales man for a large wholesale grocery firm | in Richmond, Va, on account of ca- | tarrh, which the best doctors in sev- eral places told had penetrated my whole system, and I could not be cured | by quitting the road. After I returned home tried many fine remedies to no effect I wrote a friend of mine to send me a bottle of your Muco-Tone. began taking 1t with no faith in it, but after had atken the entire bottle | I began to mend I wrote for four more. and took them, and now I can sincerely say I am a well man and weigh one hundred and fifty pounds. never felt better in my life. and I am cured, sound and we'll by your won- derful Muco-Tone. which I can assur- edly appreciate. It is wonderful. and have advised all my friends to get 1t.
 Many thanks for your wonderful cure. It is the greatest cure of the present age. You can use this testi- monial as you see proper. Most grate- fully yours. s. M. Moore, Basic City, Va"
 | It is very evident from what MT. Fowler said that this letter is only one of the many testimonials they have of Mucu-Tone. These testimonials vary in the range of diseases which Mucu- Tone benefits. Although MT. Fowler claims that Mucu-Tone is primarily catarrh cure-it was not manufactured with the purpose of curing other dis eases-but those who have been ben- cfitted by its use have recommended 1t to so many of their friends for other troubles, that it Is now almost as well known as a general tonic as it Is a ca- tarrh cure.

A Chance to Prove His Sincerity.

Hartford Times.
 The Hon. William Warner. Senator elect from Missouri, told his fellow citizens at Kansas City on Saturday evening that the burning issue of the day Is that of setting proper metes and bounds to corporate power and the sup pression of the unlawful encroachment upon the rights of the people by organ ized capital. The just and equitable solution of these problems will tax the experience and wisdom of the legis- lative and executive departments of the government. If in the solution error is made, the error should be on the side of the people" Now. will Mir. Warner lend hand in taking of the tariff that protects the products of the Standard oil Company. the steel cor poration or the beef packers, and thus put the only effectual club on the ''trusts?" We guess not. When a man out west lifts up his voice against the monopolies 1t is usually safe to suppose that he does not really intend to do them any harm.

DIPLOMATS AT PARIS.
Pending Transfers Throws Many at

FEcnch Capitul'
 Paris, April 3.-The pending diplo- matic transfers have led to the pres ence here of several ambassadors. Be- sides General Porter the American Am bassador in Paris, they include MT. Mccormick, transferred from St. Pe- te.sburg to Paris, and Mir. Meyer, transferred from Rome to St. Peters, burg.
 MT. White, the retiring secretary of the American Embassy in London, who has been appointed Ambassador to Italy. Is expected here. although he has telegraphed that he may be detained in London.
 MT. Meyer is stopping in Paris on his way to St. ePtersburg for the purpose of going over the Russian situation with Mir Mccormick. They conferred lengthily this morning. If MT. White comes here he and MT. Meyer will go over Italian aaffirs.
 Although the various ambassadors are not publicly discussing peace in the aFr East. the general view prevails among them that prospects for peace have considerably diminished during recent days. MT Meyer leaves Paris Wednesday for St. Petersburg.
