sApAvEsr SCHOOLS.

In another place on this page will be found an editorial from The New York Commercial which will amply repay rerusai. for 1t explains some things which have heretofore been q mystery to Americans. The energy and en- duranca of the Japanese soldiers has been matter of wonder since their military exploits became known to the Western world, and this statement from The Commercial seems to effer an explanation df the mystery.
 Ono of the first things that will strike the modern American is th0 length of the school-day in Japan. There are yet old people who were brought up in the country and who can recall the time when school kept school day is but about six or seven hours, and many advocate cutting that Gown very materially. 1t Is doubt less a matter of wonder that the chil- dyen of threeseore years ago. or evcn less could live through such long hours Of confinement in the school room. Without catering into any ar- | kument. pro or con, on that point, we will merely remark that the children ot that day were at least as strong and we'll developed, mentally and physl- eaily. as children are now. Whether tht school hours had anything to dc with it is another question.
 Getting back to the Japs 1t will be noticed that their bodies are trained with as much care and thoroughneAs as their minds are. It will be no. ticed that the children have ample tune during their long school day fur recreation. exercise and refreshment. and doubtless much of the success in- eideut to their education Is due to the frequent changes from study to play ana physical exercises. Of course, tho character and habits of these people has something to do with the success Of their training. but however that rIay be the parents and teachers seem to nave the art of proper training dowr 10 rIne point, kea1 the ar tlcle from The Commercial.

The Birningh am Age-Herald, speak ing of the approaching meeting of the Alabama Press Association at Cad den. says: Every one of the 123 week iy papers in this State should be rep- resented" The number of weekly pub iicaticns in Aiabama is almost double the figure above mentioned. We agree with The Age-Herald that ali of them should be represented at Gadsden. A matter of great importance Is that of handling foreign advertising. and the report of the committee appointed last year to consider and report this year, will be well worth careful considera- tian. This is a real business prooosi- ten and may result fn great benefit.

Must Depend Upon Home People.
Child Labor.

Lineville Headlight.
 We are glad to note the agitation of the child labor problem. Those who have 1t at heart are trying to save the race from deterioration and give to the children the rigntfui heritage Of every American child-healtn and ed ucation. T1 look upon the face of the 60,O00 little boys and girls in the cot ton mills of tho South who are weak devitalized wrecks of humanity caused by the confinement, unsanitery condt- tions, and the lack of proper exercise n the pure air and sunshine. so nsc- essary to their growth and normal de- velopment is enough to cause us to respond to the bitter cry of the chli- dren who are being coined into dol- lars
 These children often enter the mills and compete with the stalwart men or profitably (for the mills) replace them. To say the least of 1t, the child drags the wages down to where man can not earn a Livelihood for his family: If we would give them virtue and thought we must recognize the human limit of beginning to work. rms can be done only by having anti-ehlld Ia- bor laws enacted and enforced through, T., out the country; otherwise we VIII have the number of ignorant ana VI cious increase who are neaVy Haoll- ity against society.

BURNS FORFEITS BAIL.
After Jury Disagreed on His Case, He
Declines to Face Another Trial.

Judge Fox's court was occupied all
day Thursday with the trial by iury of
j. y. Bnrns, man with one leg who
was accused OF disturbing the peace, and
who had Officer Miles arrested for as
eault, IN using force in making his arrest.
About 20 witnesses were examined, and
after being out four hours, the Jury dis
agreed. standing five for conviction and
one, A. Sagendorph, for acquittal, and
the case was set for retrial Saturday
morning.
When the case was called Saturday.
Burns attorney appeared and said he
did not know where his client was, and
asked that his bail be forfeited and the
case dismissed. Judge Fox replied that
ne would forfeit the bail, but would not
dismiss the case; that his court did not
ettle cases that way, but that the cha' ge
would remain against Burns, and that
ne was subject to arrest by the ptlice on
sight.
The bail was $40, the sum liked bv the
police court when the change of venue to
the justice court was taken. The case
against Officer Miles is set for tomorrow,
and will probably be dismissed on &C.
count Of the disappearance OF Burns, the
complaining witness.

VALUABLE INVENTION.
Aberdeen Men Interested in q Rail.

railroad, and Geo. Pervius, of the Chi.

Creech Bros, OF this city, are interest

Three OUT OF five
GRAYS HARBOR Wins SERIES With
The BUTTE team.
GrayS Still Occupy Third Place in
League Standing. Local Fans We'll
Pleased With This Series. SpO.
kane Team will be Here This Week
For Five Games.

The Grays Hatbor fans are full OF ioy
over the home team taking the majority
OF games from Butte during the series
just closed.
/ But with that we do not have much to
brag about, for we ought to have won at
least another game from the Miners.
Fridays game seemed to be a hard one
to lose. Tonneson pitched good ball tn It
day, but the team did not play good ball
behind him. 1t is true Butte's twirler,
Bandelin, allowed us but three stingy
hits, but with men on bases and good
balters at the plate it really did seem
hard that We could not hit the ball
somewhere in safe territory.
Another thing that worked against us
was the umpirng. In one inning Ton
neson threw Bandein out at the first
station, but the umpire cou dn't see that
way and called him safe. A little later
! Campbell caught him dead t. rig; ts at
third and the umpire called him safe
then. With such work it is no wonder
the Grays lose heart. Dad Brown and
his nifty bunch have the reputation of
playing a good uphill game, but even
their nerve must 60 back on them at
| such times and under such adverse cir
cumstances as they experienced Friday.
The only thing that saved us from shut
out was Browns home run. That GIN
gerly second baseman will surely sur.
prise the old reliable fans some day by
becoming the boss pinch hitter OF the
team. While Butte made runs in that
game, none were earned; our one little
chalk mark was earned, and it was a
piece of exceedingly bad luck that We
had no one on basses when the ball went
over the fence.
Saturday was Goodwin's day to work
and he started out in fine style, but errors
let in too many runs and we went down
to defeat by a score OF 5.to t. That was
another game when hit meant a run
and a tied score. Several times I'VE had
men on Sc :ond and third just one lone.
some hit would have made big differ
ence in our percentage, but it failed to
materalize. Sunday was Drinkers day
and he made himself solid with the
bunch by winning his third straight
game. The score was to in favor OF
the Grays.
We are still in third place, but Dad
says we will be good second when we
have finished with Spokane. The In.
dians will be here Wednesday for five
games, and then look out for the fire.
