Course OF Physical Training
FIrrING rKIBUre 30 Deceased

Col. A. L. Mills, superintendent of
West Point Military Academy. who
was one of the board recently conven-
ed at the Naval Academy for the pur-
pose of inquiring into athletics, call
ed on the President yesterday. He
said the joint board had reported in
favor of putting the cadets at both
academies through a rigid course of
athletic training during the entire
four years course, instead of during
the first year only, as heretofore. If
the President should approve the re-
port, and it is indicated that he prob
ably will, a carefully prescribed course
of physical training will be followed
hy the students, which, at the conclu-
sion of their course. is expected to
make them thelphysicaln equals of any
soldier in the world. Later a similar
course of training viii be extended TO
the enlisted men of both army and
navy.
. Athletic training of the cadets at the
military and naval academies will,
therefore, be conducted hereafter
through the entire four years course
at those institutions. if the President
should approve the report recently
submitted to him by the joint board
of army and navy officers which he
appointed to consider the subject, and
which met here this week.

Plenty of Boats Out

With good breeze and plenty of
omen water, the harbor and bay were
alive today with small craft OF every
description. All of the oyster boats
were ont and returned with fairly
good hanls in spite of the heavy
ground swell which was running
Several schooners put into port last
night, but this morning resumed their
trip up the bay.
All along the harbor in the yards of
those who engage in fishing pound
poles are being received in large num-
bers. 1t is hoped that by the end OF
next week the ice will have been
cleared from the bay to such an extent
as will permit of nets being set with
out danger of their being carried
away.
1t has been found that large quan-
titles of oysters have been carried on
the bars and into deep water by the
ice in sweeping across them. Some
bars have been found 10 have been al
NEST denuded of the beds while at
other bars the oysters were dragged
into large piles and there left by the
ice in its passage.

A half hour earlier in the day
Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana.
was inducted into the Office of Vice
President. Fully 100000 people
thronged the open space and streets to
the east of the Capitol where, after
receiving the oath from Chief Justice
Fuller, of the Supreme Court. Presi-
dent Roosevelt delivered his inaugural
address. AS the last syllable fell from
the Presidents lips and he stepped
from the rostrum, 100, 600 voices rose
in a prodigious note of applause.
The official hour for the commence
ment of the exercises was ii O'Clock,
at which time the President left the
White House for the Capitol, accom-
panied by the Congressional committee
of arrangements, and escorted by the
members of the Department Of the Po-
tomac, Grand Army of the Republic,
and a detachment of the United Span
ish War Veterans. Long before this
time the streets were filed with what
appeared to be the whole of the popu-
lation of Washington. To the many
hundreds of the local population were
added many thousands Of visitors who
came in on excursion trains last night
and this morning.

A GORGEOUS sPEcTAcLE

Today's great military and civic
parade, which is the spectacular fea-
ture of the Presidents Inauguration,
proved to be all that its promoters
could wish, and all that the regular
army officers who controlled it could
hope for. The sight of the marching
thousands along Pennsylvania avenue
was one long to be remembered.
The swinging ranks rising and fall
ing in perfect time moved rapidly on
while the flashing steel, the glitter
ing buckles anil buttons, the tossing
plumes, waving banners and martial
music combined to form a picture of
the bloom and the beauty of the battle
and the splendor of war that could
not be surpassed. To the man with
the soldiers soul, there is no sight so
fascinating as marching army Of
we'll trained men, and the President
watched them march past the review
ing stand with eager attention. From
end to end of the line of march the
cheers Of the countless thousands were
as cordial as Presidents ROoseyelts
approval.
The parade, in all features was q
most beautiful aud imposing featur e
of the inaugural programme. While
the regular troops naturally attracted
most attention, there were cheers a.
plenty for the militia. the college
students and the many civic bodies
who formed parts of the great process
sion. There were 35, 600 men in line
II. 900 regulars, marines, midshipmen
from Annapolis aud cadets from West

" a score of states, and twelve or
fourteen thousand made up of political
organizations, rough riders, college
students, cowboys, Indians, etc.

Another Race Scheduled

A race between the boat crews of
Harvard and the midshipmen is being
arranged for to probably be pulled of
on May H. An effort is also being
made to. have a race between the third
crew of midshipmen and the eight of
the Georgetown Preparatory Athletic
Association, Of Washington. 1t is
thought this may increase the interest
among the oarsmen at the Naval Acad-
omy, who do not make seats either in
the hrsr or second boats.

FITTING TRIBUTE TO DECEASED
The following tribute is paid to the
memory of Albert X. Starlings by
Judge Daniel X. Magruder:
Few men, if any, in the county
would be more missed than Mr.. Star
lings. Indeed, it would be hard to
name one who had mere the genuine
respect and confidence of those who
knew him best.
"With an admirable talent and abil.
ity for tile business of the offices
which he filed in so thorough and sat-
isfactory manner, he combined most
general and cordial manner which
made it q pleasure to have business
with him, and it was a rare case that
anyone who learned to know him well
failed to become his steadfast and de-
voted friend
"No one ever filled the Office of
Clerk to the County Commissioners
better than did he, and the same may
be said of his duties in the Office of
the clerk of the Court OF Appeals and
other positions, and he was a man to
he sought after to fill important trusts,
rather than to have to seek them.
Of late years, especially, his influence
and outspoken zeal for the best gov
ernment of the county, state and ma
tion were most decided and effective.
"a most notable trait was his de-
votion to his family and the promo
tion OF their we'll being. There could
he no better husband or father-nor
truer friend.
"None knew but to love him
"None named him but to praise. F"

ADVANCED FORESTRY.

THE Bureau Of Forestry. now known
, as the Forest Service, is being
thoroughly reorganized under an act Of
the last Congress The idea OF this
bureau con'emplates more than the
care and oversight Of the forest re-
serves Of the governments The bureau
By every possible means will endeavor
TO educate the people generally to in
troduce more practical methods not
only in preserving forests but in in
creasing woodland areas.
In comparison with the older coun-
tries we should have larger forest areas
whereas we have less. The wanton de-
struction Of timber by injudioious and
often unlawful cutting and by great
forest fires has laid waste immense
areas that have not otherwise been
utilized
In this case necessity is our teacher.
We have found that to denude whole
sections Of trees has an appreciable
effect on the climate and particularly
on the rainfall. But the greatest in
oentive for the more rational treatment
Of forests is in the growing scarcity
OF lumber The railroads are facing
the problem OF providing ties and some
Of them are buying land and planting
trees Here in Delaware we used 10
produce large quantities OF lumber for
the outside market Now there is
very little for local needs When the
old forests were slaughtered there was
the impression that new growths would
take their place. But the white oaks
that went into coasting vessels OF into
the frames OF barns had been several
hundred years growing. and 1t viii take
al least century 20 produce others.
The science Of forestry embraces am
kinds Of trees 10 plant the nature Of
soils and the proper method Of cutting.
besides suggestions as to ornamental
trees. There IS no section but that
has numerous waste places not suited
10 agriculture. that are greatly inn
proved by trees and these in time
yield a proht. It is time for us to take
up the problem seriously here in Della
ware.

PEARY AND THE POLE

= OMMANDER Peary now has ev-
~ erything he has asked. and il he
does not discover the pole and hang his
hat upon IT, the fault win not be in
a lack OF backing. The ship and it's
full equipment have been planned by
Peary and there are sufficient funds at
his disposal for all emergencies. He
expects TO reach the pole, but so has
every man who has sailed on a polar
expedition. Some have returned 10
recount the hardships which they have
endured; some have been rescued from
then ice huts half starved and half de-
mented. and large proportion have
never returned with messages of any
sort.
We are told that the discovery Of
the pole would mean great addition
to scientific truth. but the practical
value Of such information has not been
made plain to the average man. The
chief motive seems 10 be desire to
accomplish the impossible, just as men
put their lives in jeopardy in trying to
scale some pountain peak where no
human being has ever set foot. The
honor is desired for America. but it is
yet question whether the price is not
too high. Peary undoubtedly expects
to find the pole, but with others the
feeling is hope. not expectation.

IF Distric. Attorney Bell holds the
4 right view of the duties and limi-
tations Of a prosecuting officer, and his
Idea is generally adopted. the respon-
sihllty for instituting criminal suits
VIII rest with the general public.
Judge Gordon says that he has placed a
mass of evidence In the hands Of the
district attorney clearly warranting the
arrest and trial OF persons who have
conspired to rob Philadelphia OF vast
sums Mr. Bell does not question the
force OF this evidence, but he declines
to act until somebody has come for
ward to charge the guilty persons with
specific onenses and they have been
held for court
In other words, he regards his Office
as created merely for the trial Of Grim
inal cases. and not for the purpose Of
instituting proceedings against Offend
ers. This seems an extraordinary in
depreciation. II places the responsible
ity. not on the prosecuting officer Of
the commonwealth but on the people
This means anybo. y or nobody which
means that there is another avenue OF
escape for violators of the laws.
There is a suspicion that had not Mr.
Bell been the choice of the machine
leaders for the office he now holds.
and had he not been called upon TO act
as private counsel for the men he is
now asked to prosecute and consulted
about the contracts now under ques-
ton. he might have interpreted his
duties differently Any way enough
has been revealed TO show that Mr.. Bell
is not the man to try these cases
should they ever come before the court.

EDITORIAL OPINION

land individual effort is being directed
in many cities to the adornng Of the
home premises. The growth of the
park systems has been taken as a hint
by private persons that they can em-
bellish their own yards as well and far
more easily than the public authorities
can lay out parks and boulevards, and
that the sum total of this private ef
fort will add largely to the health hap
piness and convenience of the whole
population. The school gardens In
various cities have given this move
ment a new impetus. NO home Is so
humble that IL cannot al least have
flower pots in its windows. and no
back yard so small that cannot support
a few flowers In the adornment of
walls and fences too. the possibilities
of beauty contained in the humblest
vines are beginning to be recognized.
II has long and justly been a re-
proach to Americans that they are so
devoted TO the material and practical
that ideals have been neglected. 1t is
beyond dispute that as respects artis
tic adornment the average American
home or town is inferior to the foreign
home or town This has been notori-
ously the case i'm the country. where
the American pioneer chopped or burn
I ed every tree in sight of his home
stead then had to set out shade trees
for the benefit OF his grand children
! II is only lately that American cit
les and private citizens have embark
ed upon intelligent and comprehensive
enterprises of city and home adorn-
ment Europe is old and staid; Amer
lea young and restless, with a large
migratory population which never
stops long enough i'm one place to have
a home. In this respect, things are
changing and what is 10 be made a
home only for a few years can i'm a
short time, under the favorable cir
lcumstances of living here. be made as
attractive artistically as many Euro
lpean homes which have been such for
generations This country owes to its
population of recent European origin
large share of the credit for the
newly awakened interest in natural
beauty effects.
