A Future for Ex-Presidents.
Public Opinion.


When Mr.. Cleveland resumed the prac-
tice of law in 1889, it was felt that he had
settled the vexed question, What shall we
do with our representation rather,
What shall they do with themselves" As
nine out OF ten of them have been lawyers,
his solution of the problem bade fair TO
prove applicable to almost every case. But
when his second term ended, in 1897, and
he did what other ex-presidents had done
before him. which was just nothing at all,
the whole question was re-opened. or late
years, however. Mr.. Cleveland has shown
disposition to answer IL anew, and IL
future presidents see the matter as he
does we may look TO see them, on their
retirement with one accord turn author.
And II their work commands such prices
as the sage Of Princeton is understood to
receive, they will suffer nothing by aban-
doing the pursuit of the legal profession.
For papers on fishing. duck shooting rsb-
bit hunting, etc.-to say nothing of wo-
mems clubs-honorariums are believed to
be paid which a prosperous barrister would
by no means scorn and II Mr. Cleveland
accepted all the offers he receives from
editors and publishers, he could soon af-
ford to enter the market for works Of art
in competition with his old friend, MIR.
Morgan. II is much TO be regretted that
thus far the ex-president has not seen his
way to give the public a budget Of his
"reminiscences OF his particular friend, the
late Joe Jefferson.

THE ARCTIC ExPEnIrfnN

While interest in efforts to find the
North Pole Is not very general, being
confined chiefly to a small body, of scien-
lists, still everybody must feel a degree
OF Arbitration for the zeal in the cause
of Arctic exploration which has been
manifested by Commander Robert E.
Peary, who on Sunday started upon
another attempt TO reach the pole. II is
a perilous undertaking, requiring more
than common courage and endurance,
but there appears TO be a fascination in
il for Peary, than whom no man living
is better qualified for the undertaking.
His experience on former trips has
broadened his knowledge Of the require
ments for Arctic exploration and his
preparations for the present voyage are
all that ample foresight could devise. His
vessel, the Roosevelt, is said to be the
finest craft ever built for a polar expe-
dition and 1t Is thoroughly equipped.

Matter Of Marriage In the LiEht of
Higher Education.

New York sun.
Prof Mills OF vassar thus describes the
girl student:
she Is frequently only slightly interested
In the intellectual. and very generally has
no more than a moderate interest in study.
Too often only by much urging can she be
aroused 10 oven moderate intellectual eftort,
and instead OF too little she Is apt TO havo
perfectly normal interest in the other sex.
In a word, she is generally fairly healthy
and very lovable girl, who has normal in
terests in school, sports, in social affairs.
in domestic matters and is tending toward
marital engagements at about the same
rate as those OF her social class who are
not in school or college"
Prot Mills explains the smaller percent
age OF marriages among college educated
women than among women in the general
population as due to the same influences
that make the marriage rate lower in the
social classes from which most Of the coll
lege girls come.
Statistics collected by the Association Of
Collegiate Alumnae support the professors
conclusion as to the comparative number
of marriages and children among college
women, as compared with their noncollege
relatives His remarks about the moderate
intellectual effort OF the college girl are a

age. II is rather bad form in some OF ths

the colleges for women have at least their
proportion OF students who are sent to

own desire for a pleasant social life away

the feminine institutions has been affected
by impressions received from brothers and
cousins.
All observers must agree that the college

REPORTING CROP CONDITIONS"
The Philadelphia Press urges that the
Department Of Agriculture will never be
ions over crop reports until it abandons
reporting condition" and confines itself
to legitimate and exact statistics. Point
ing out that the present system is a mere
tabulation and average of impressions, it
is argued that these lend themselves 10
manipulation and that they aid specu-
lators and mislead the public. Instead"
says that paper, with more efficient
service and larger expenditure, the de.
partment should get acreage county by
county far closer than today. The
monthly report should give in detail how
many acres promise a yield equal, above
or below the known and recorded yield
of the year before. Such a report would
give facts, arithmetical facts and not i'm
pressions. 1t would not be subject to
manipulation. 1t would be of much more
use to the farmer than to the Spectator"
The reports of condition now published
n
and to put a premium on taking and
guessing.
There is unQuestionably merit in this
view Those who urge that the govern
ment crop reports be wholly discon-
tinued are not meeting with general APP
prevail but there is plenty of evidence
that those interested in such reports
and it is presumed that practically the
entire farming community takes an in
terest in them-do not want guesses, but
statement of facts as nearly as possible
accurate-facts which, as the Press says,
would not be subject to manipulation.
Perhaps in the matter Of reporting con
dition" the Department Of Agriculture
has followed old world methods, but IL
so 1t appears very clear that they are far
more trustworthy there than here. At all
events, 1t seems to have been pretty con-
clusively demonstrated that our system
of government crop reporting must be
thoroughly reformed and every sugges-
ton as to how this may be accomplished
should receive careful consideration. Let
the monthly reports be continued. 1t is
not TO be doubted that the agricultural
producers very generally desire this and
their wish in the matter is entitled to
first consideration. But let these reports
give we'll ascertained facts and not con-
sist largely OF guesses. Indeed, this must
be done II the crop statistics OF the gov
eminent are hereafter TO command con-
hdence The distrust that has fallen
upon them cannot be removed If the
methods that have long been pursued are
continued. 1t has been announced that
the secretary Of agriculture will make
changes looking to the prevention OF leak
age and the manipulation Of figures in
the interest OF spectators. This is all
very we'll, but 1t is not all that is re-
quired Something must be done TO
render the reports more authoritative
and trustworthy and this is only to be
done by removing from them everything
in the nature OF guessing. They must
be a statement of facts aseertained with
as great care as ii is practicable TO exer-
rise II 1t is necessary 10 expend more
money for this purpose the money should
be provided, but It probably can be done
at no greater expenditure than at pres
ent for obtaining crop statistics.

A SECRETARY OF HEALTH

The American Medical association,
which has been in session at Portland,
Ore, adopted a resolution proposing the
creation of a new executive department
to look after the public health. with a
secretary who should have seat in the
cabinet. Representative Barchfeld Of
Pennsylvania, who is a physician, in
formed the association that he would in
troduce at the next session of congress a
bill to create such a department, ex-
pressing the opinion that the health Of
the people of this nation is as essential
to their welfare as the army or navy, a
proposition which no one will dispute.
He thought the health problem should be
under national supervision and that in
order that it may receive proper con-
sideration there is need of having a de-
partment whose head will have the dig
nifty and authority of a member of the
cabinet
This view having been endorsed by
the representative medical association of
the country will perhaps receive the sup
port of majority of physicians and this
is an influence not to be despised. Yet IT
is safe to say that the proposition will
not receive any very serious attention
in congress. Care for the public health
is certainly of very great Importance and
the medical men are to be commended
for their zeal in this direction, but II
will be very hard to convince the public
that in order to conserve the general
health there must be established an ex-
ecutive department Of the government. A
great deal is now being done by federal
and state governments in the interest of
the public health and it is doubtful II
more could be accomplished by such a
department as the medical association
proposes. Moreover, there is a very gen.
eral feeling that already there are quite
enough executive departments and that
to add to them would simply make the
business Of government more compli.
Gated. A department Of health, there.
| fore, must be regarded merely as pos
sibility of the remote future.

Mr.. Root, being labelled the greatest man
OF whom Mr.. Roosevelt has personal knowl-

ntical prophets that ne is not likely TO at

ity, OF course. that Mr.. Root may not de-
sire to be nominated for the presidency.
but may prefer to resume his income OF
$4,000 a year as a lawyer al the end of
the present administration in March. 1903.
In that event 1t will be possible for Mr..

curing the nomination OF Judge Taft. But

count that Judge Taft may md the great
