to whom a child had been brought for
baptism.

HAVING EYES, SEE NOT.

The education of the young has be-
came the basic principle of our state
governments.
The development of the school sys-
tenn is one of the marvels of the ages.
The last fifty years have witnessed
the education of the masses instead
of the favored few ...
With this forcing of all children into
the public schools for the greater por-
ton u the year, have come additional
the part of the state and it's servants.
1t is important that the children
should be kept physically perfect us
that they should have the mind stored
with useful knowledge.
What matters it if the child be able
to read the Greek and Latin authors
and know the intricacies of Euclid if
the sight or hearing be injured while
securing this knowledge?
1t must not be understood that the
importance of Observation-Disclosures
education-is belittled
This is an age of intellect, an age of
education, and the young man or
woman who goes out in the world
without this armor is but poorly
equipped for the Dattle of life.
The organs that are most injured
by the long, constant work in the
school room are the ear and the eye
1t is to be regretted that parents are
negligent Of the best interests of their
children in reference to both, and the
large number of children required TO
wear glasses are evidence of this fact.
This is due probably to the fact that
the delicate mechanism of the eye is
not understood. Once it is known that
the constant use of this organ in an
improper manner will not only injure
the organ itself. but that many ills of
the body-headache, backache, inso-
monia, irritability of temper, general
debility, fatigue, drowsiness when,
using the eyes, disorders of the stom-
ach and pelvic organs are traceable di-
rectly to the diseased condition of the
eye.
Children who spend nine months in
the year In the school room, many Of
which were constructed without any
consideration of the need of the eye
so far as light is concerned, are devel-
oping diseases of this organ at an
alarming rate.
The remedy should be preventa-
tive rather than curative.
The ear is hardly less complicated,
less sensitive or more liable to in
jury than the eye, though it must be
evident that the work In the school
room is less strenuous on this organ
than on the eye.
Troubles of the auditory nerve and
the ear structure are more constitu-
tional than those Of the eye, though
they are none the less serious in their
results to the child.
Both organs should receive the most
careful attention and the means Of

DEFERRED INSURANCE DIVIDEND.

Insurance Commissioner Cooper is
probably the most pronounced cham
pion in the country of life insur-
ance policy which will not permit of
deferred dividends.
The Times has referred to the mat
ter before, but inaslnuch as the plan
will, if adopted, remedy many Of the
evils which have grown up around
the insurance business, and prevent a
repetition of these evils in the future,
it can hardly be presented often
enough to the public.
The trouble has been in the past
that the companies have been issuing
a class of policies with what they
term preferred dividend clause, by
the terms of which the earnings of
the payments made by the policy hold
er were carried without an account
ing until the maturity of the policy.
The policy holder had no means of
ascertaining what amounts, if any,
were credited to him until the COM
pany was ready to pay the face of the
policy. either at the death of the
holder, or at its maturity.
The earnings on this class of poll
cies are enormous. For instance, on
a policy costing thirty dollars annual
ly and running for twenty years. the
earnings of the annual premiums at
simple interest at six per cent. would
reach 1924.
This money under the present plan
goes into a fund from which these
dividends are paid at maturity.
1t is this fund that has been drawn
upon by the companies when they
needed money to met some of the
deficits in other branches.
To illustrate. Prior to the Hyde ex-
posures which marked the beginning
OF the present life insurance investi-
cations. the rivalry between the COM
panies for new business became so
strenuous that the cost Of procuring
consumed the money set aside for this
purpose, and. while the fact has not
been legally proven. there is moral
certainty that the companies drew out

CABINET CHANGES,
President Also Sends Batch Of Nominal
ticns to Senate.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Seven cabinet
changes and one appointment to the SUI
preme court bench were sent to the
senate to-day by President Roosevelt,
but they were not confirmed Immediate
ly, in accordance with general custom
concerning such important nominations.
1t is said that there is no opposition to
the appointments for the cabinet, and
to the nomination of Attorney General
William h Moody to be associate jus
tice Of the supreme court, despite the
fact that it was determined to refer
these nominations to committees for
report. Heretofore the committees have
been polled on the floor of the senate
in executive session on cabinet appoint
ments, and out of courtesy to the pres
ident Immediately confirmed The rea-
son advanced for the change in the
programme is that no message of any
character has been received from the
president, and therefore it would not
be proper to transact business. The
important nominations follow:

William J. F7ogarty, 1908, for the maya

brought out the historical origin of the
labor nnion in the guilds Of the middle
ages.
In the Dark Ages feudalism and
guilds disappeared in the general dis
indignation of the social and economic
world. with the discovery Of America,
the invention of printing, steam and
electricity, and the adoption of the con-
stitution of the United States, there
was inaugurated the fundamental prin

and equality of opportunity to all In
America there is great freedom in the

TRANSFORMATION and sale of raw and
manufactured products as between the
states of the Union, which has been the
direct cause Of our commercial suprem-
acy. There should be the same sale OF
labor.
Unions are divided into two classes

unions. which have come to stay and
are an important and essential part of
the economic world Of to-day and, sec
ond. the labor unions that have been
hastily organized, that have very little
experience. and resort to laWless and
violent methods. The second class are
a menace to both labor and capital, and
should be disciplined and reorganized,
or abolished
Cheney G. Jones, 1909, for the mega
tive, pointed out that labor unions are
necessary outcome of modern indus
trial conditions, and especially of the
factory system. He contended that
unions are a benefit in that they short
en- the hours of labor and increase the
pay of the workman, while they avoid
severe crises and make definite the cost
of labor to the employer

agreed that the girl didn't drown.
When the doctors found where that

needed to seek no further for the cause
of death.
This learned doctor says, No. it was
caused by drowning. He finds differ
