who wants to Live 15o Yearsa
he DETROIT Journal.

From the Detroit Journal.
The feat--or shall we call 1t the tribu-
lation?-Of living $50 years, It seems,
can be made an absurdly simple mat
ter If one cares to adopt the sugges-
tions OF DIR. Lyman Beecher SpeITy,
"a gentleman who has leaped into
nOtoIiety by taking DIR. William Osler's
theory firmly by the diverse. II isn't
debata'ble. The real question is
whether one cares to live $50 years
of a life as deadly humdrum as DR..
Sperry finds 1t necessary to make II.
That's bound to be the issue.
For some OF us It is undoubtedly too
late to start after that $50 yeaFs. Our
habits have already done the business,
though by strict observance of the cam
ons OF sobriety henceforth We may tack
on a paltry fifty years or so. To begin,
the cocktail before dinner and the
night-cap before bed must go. Like
wise the after-dinner cigar There
must be no whist parties no quiet
little games" no stag gatherings, no
lodge nights" Even the theatre is out
Of the question. The family lights must
be out at nine-thirty, If were to be
great great great grandfathers. We
must live I'm hyglenic houses, eat
hyglenic foods and do hygienlc things.
The slightest excursion from the mar
row path means the loss of a couple Of
years. We must forsake all dissipa-
tions, little and big We must live with
one hand ON the thermometer and the
other on our pulse. We must avoid
excitement, for the nervous system has
a long road to travel. We must live
colorless. vegetable sort of lives. In
short, we must give up everything that
makes life worth living in order to pro-
lnng the mere animal function of eat
ing, breathing and sleeping. Some men
burn the candle at both ends by a few
years of riotous dissipation; that's one
extreme. Is the other extreme-to
eschew all the color. the romance, the
diversions Of life to stretch 1t out to
senility- is that worth while?
Maybe DR.. Sperry has really found
the secret Tor which the medieval
alchemists and the chemists biologists
and psychologists of to-day have been
searching. But the price for which he
agrees to put 1t within the reach Of
all is pretty stff DIR. Sperry isn't
righteous enough yet to appreciate the
boon. Maybe the lives that we are
living can be wholesome and produc-
tive enough to reconcile us with the
normal SPAN and then the six feet of
earth and the long sleep. 1t is easily
conceivable that $50 years of it might
become a bore

THE Initiative and Referendum idea
Il is becoming something OF fad.
The argument is that legislators pass
measures that do not represent the real
wishes Of the people. and that with
the submission Of proposed acts to a
popular vote we should get what the
people want. and only that.
But the point is that If we don't get
proper legislation It is because we don't
choose to send proper men to the Leg
islature and having supported and
elected men who we knew would not
care for our interests. we would take
back the power we have conferred.
Suppose proposed legislation were re-
ferrec to the people. the respective par
ties would lire up on opposite sides.
and we would all vote not as indi-
viduals. but as Republicans or Demo-
Gratis.
The referendum idea might be all
right were the people OF Delaware ac-
customed to vote their real sentiments,
but We all know how prevalent the
feeling Is that the ram before going
to the ballot box to vote on the sim
plest local proposition must pin on his
tag.
Suppose the matter OF city char.
ter were to be submitted to the people
OF Wilmington. does anybody doubl

lr srAeoERs HUMANITY.

VA1 HEN General Sherman charac-
w terized war in a striking
phrase we thought nothing more need
ed to be said. yet an occasional vivid
description from the battle fields OF
Manchuria convinces us that General
sherman's remark is inadequate, for
words cannot describe what has taken
place there.
In many instances bravery has been
in part the result OF such terrible suf-
fering that 10 be killed has come Ia
be regarded as a boon. In the siege OF
Port Arthur we are told that in one
division it was utterly impossible to
bury the dead or to bring in the
wounded and that out there on the
plain which was raked every minute
wounded men lived as much as twelve
days until death came 10 relieve them
This has not been war with an oc-
casional battle, but from the moment
Athe Japanese crossed the Yalu It has
been one continuous struggle-virtually
a hand-to-hand encounter in which
men have been sacrificed almost with
out limit.
With Russia II has been a case OF
bravery and endurance. with little ap-
parent strategy with Japan it has
been the bravery of fatallsm directed
by as great generalship as modern
times has produced. But Il all has
meant incalculable suffering and an
awful harvest OF death.
And while Japan may have been pre-
cipitate. yet 1t was primarily because
Russia failed 10 keep her solemn
pledges TO evacuate Manchuria. Had
we been situated like Japan we should
probably have done as she has done.
She had observed the steady encroach-
ments Of Russia until her own integ-
rity was menaced. Besides. she had
not forgotten how Russia had seized
the fruits OF her victory over China.
SO when she got ready to fight her soul
was In IT, She has fought as though
her very existence were at stake. and
this has helped TO make her lnvincible.
But the price has been something
awful, for surely this is an instance
when the price "staggers humanity"

Alice and ex-Governor HUM were
busy yesterday urging their friends in

maintain the deadlock to the end Of

Now we don't pretend to say how

Lean votes. has done more than any
other man to keep Delaware from Civ

We think all men are entitled for full
credit for their acts, and therefore,
Senator Alice should not be deprived OF
any reward he may have earned by
keeping this State out OF it's full rep
resentation at Washington.
He has had some support from Dr.
Layton. DR.. Marshall and others, and OF
course these gentlemen must not be

fact that IL we are TO have but one

TESTIMONY ABOUT ALL IN
Only Few witnesses Vet 60 Testify
In the Union Pacific
Tax Case.

In the Union Pacific tax case no more
oral testimony as to the value of land in
Nebraska will be introduced and very little
other testimony. BY agreement between
Attorney General Brown and John n
Baldwin Saturday morning 1t was decided
to secure not more than two affldavits
from each county from which no witness
has been summoned and thus stop the ex-
pense OF getting in witnesses and Incl
dentally hasten the end OF the case. Tax
Commissioner Scribner is yet to go on the
stand for cross-eXamination and a few
other witnesses will testify as to the value
of railroads. Then the case will be ready
for submission. The attorney general will
be ready by December 26. but IL is not
known for sure whether the railroads will
be ready by that time.
Friday afternoon the state scored point
on the testimony of Treasurer Davis of
Lincoln county. Mr. Davis brought with
him the price list OF Union Pacific lands
in his county and in every instance the
assessment was the selling price Of the
land. Only a few more witnesses are
to be heard In the Burlington case and
then that, too, will be ready for submits
sion.
II is understood that the Burlington at
torneys will attack the constitutionality of
the law under which the railroads were as
sessed.
