Mr.. Lswson's "Forty Cents on the

Thomas W. Lawson is appealing to
all policy holders in the three great

city to rally around him while he
makes war on the system" One of
his great aims. as he sets It forth.is:
''rhe reduction OF future premium pay

Il is to be hoped that no policy hold

visionally 10 Mr.. Lawson before he
looks into this question of the 40
cents on the dollar" The Information
he needs is available i'm any book or

Finally he will learn that the load

transportation which must be regarded
as permanent
Consequently. laws regulating the
use OF these machines have TO be de-
vised. and untii We come to have large
experience in framing and enforcing
them. there are bound TO be inconsist-

Now the autoless mass has both a

motor car. Its speed is one OF the ele-

It just this which endangers life and
makes pedestrians uncomfortable. II
machines could be limited in their
speed to the average pace Of horse
there would be little danger, but to so
limit them would destroy their chief
element OF value and attraction That

may know as fact whether the speed

with the judgment OF men that often
times is imperfect But even though
the limit is exceeded and the offender
fined there is little to deter him from
a repetition OF the onense A fixed
money payment to apply to all is un-
equal as punishment
The number OF accidents which are
occurring every day show us that we
have a real problem. II is not mere
prejudice which moves people Of a
community to protest Indignantly when
some neighbor is run down and maim-
ed or Killed outright And there are
persons who seem to regard pedes-
trians as an impertinence that need
not be considered.

EDITORIAL OPINION

with the Board of Education reveal
depth OF Ignorance about natural his
tory on the part of the school children
which is greater than that Of the coun-
try boys who have never seen an cleo
tric light. because there are thousands
of children in New York who have
never seen COW. and one child, after
examining "a case of stuffed birds sent
out by the museum to her school. de-
clared that she loved the English spar
row most. although it wasn't as pretty
as the blue jay. because the English
sparrow was the only bird she had
ever seen. one boy thought a COW
was about as large as a dog. although
he had seen a picture of one. The fu-
tility of attempting to teach pupils nat
ural n story without showing them
something Of nature has been fully
demonstrated.
New York requires nature study in
schools Efforts have been made to
teach il orally but il was not until the
Museum Of Natural History became
Interested and began sending around
loan collections of specimens that the
teaching began to show. Many Of the
children I'm the schools had never been
more than a nile from home, and IL
was not until the teachers began TO
take classes to the museum that thous-
ands Of the pupils had their first ride
on the elevated road. The results OF
this sort of teaching have been mani
tested by the attendance Of school
children at the museum. which has
risen from 5000 to $4,000 a year within
the last fourteen months. In two ways,
therefore. the work which Is being car
ried on is productive of good results
II gets pupils interested not only in
nature. but in things outside of their
immediate surroundings. The child
who is brought up to regard the block
in which he lives as the central place
lin the world. and with only this idea
he grows to manhood. regarding his
ward or his political district as hav-
ing paramount interests, becomes a
menace to good government. Thus ma
ture study in New York schools is not
only broadening the child along educa-
tional lines. but making Of him bet

IT HE Every Evening laments that
4 Of All the cotton goods purchased
by the Filipinos last year less than
three per cent. came from America.
This is taken to be evidence that our
wards in the Far East are bitter
against "our policy Of benevolent ASST

sion and subjugation Of patriotic in
stincts." etc. There is some more OF
il, but that viii do.
Now at last we have the true test Of

is in cotton goods. and cotton goods
are manufactured in wilmington.
The friendship OF these people should
be sought no matter what the cost 10
our seif-respect and to our sense OF
obligation. To give them perfect in
dependence, might result in our fur
nishing four or five per cent. Of the
cotton goods they consume. Perhaps
that has something to do with the fact
that in New England. where cotton
factories flourish. anti-imperialism al
