APEING ROYALTY.-A washington
dispatch of o late date states that
q strict formality had developed in
Mrs. Roosevelt's reception to the
diplomatic corps, and is is causing
much comment from people of Re-
publican simplicity in manners.
Ladies who participated are telling
their friends, in confidence of course,
that the lady of the White House
had tried Get us hope an experiment.
in court ceremony, probably as a
compliment to them. They say that
she usurped the "prerogative of
royalty" in leaving the table in ad-
vance of her guests. 1t is the Gus
tom at European courts for royalty
to rise from the table and retire to
the drawing room. When royalty
has got comfortably seated the
guests file in and take whatever
seats are left. This, the ladies say,
is what happened at the White
House. They say that Mrs. Roose-
welt rose and retired, and that after
while they followed. They do not
believe the experiment was q sue
cess No reason is given for this
belief, except because. All this
has been told Us secret and every
one to whom it was told promised
not to tell and made every one to
whom they told it promise not to
tell.
SHIPPING BEES IN Cold STORAGE.
The Bureau of EntomOlogists at
Washington. has made a shipment of
Bumble-bees in cold-storage, to the
Philippine Islands, where they are
wanted to fertilize clover. They
were procured in Cambridge. Ind,
and shipped on the 9th of last
month from San Francisco, packed
in small refrigerator caskets, which
were placed in cold-storage soon as
the bees were caught. Thus they
were put to sleep in Indiana and will
awaken in our far-away colony, the
Philippine archipelago.

THIS JUDGE WILL APPEAL.

A NEW YORK judge, who frankly declares
\ that he wants re-election-Judge Whit
man--proposes to take the stump and talk directly
to the people. The idea is commended by the
press OF that city In many respects the position
OF judge in the greatest city OF the country is
unpleasant Should he fulfill his duties conscien-
tiously, with an eye single TO justice and thereby
incur the enmity OF political bosses, he is marked
for defeat. The bosses get after his scalp. This
method OF making the judges subservient to poll
tics, hampers justice, which should be unbiased.
Judge Whiting made a record as a city mags-
trate in New York and a General Sessions Judge
which commended him to well-thnlng people
But he has not pleased some bosses. Hence the
effort to defeat him. The task OF Judge Whiting
may be made more difficult because OF the Jerome
hasoo- Jerome went before the people, who trust
ed him, and elected him district attorney by a
large majority in the belief that he would do
things that he did not do. Hence the voters may
be shy of Judge Whiting. But they will always
rally to the support OF a man who has a record Of
duties performed and who does not base his ap-
peal for favor upon mere promises.
The selection Of judges is one OF the most inn
portant duties OF Commonwealth. In no State
should it be more important than in Delaware
Here our judges are elected indirectly. The gov
ernor appoints them 1t is necessary for the
voters, therefore, to elect a governor in whom
may rest implicit confidence that he will appoint
able and upright urists. The matter is brought
home to Delaware as the governor to be chosen
in this State next year has the appointing of an
entire new judiciary. When we elect the next
governor, we also select the new judges

ADVANCE IN PRICES.

I'd RICES OF necessities have so advanced that
explanations are looked for in every direc-
ton and reasons are freely given by men who
have studied these subjects. Professor Patton,
the economist of the University of Pennsylvania,
attributes the advance in the price of farm prod
ucts to the increase of population in the cities and
the decrease in the rural sections The natural
growth of a nation tends to enlarge the popula-
ton of the cities to much greater degree than it
does the population Of the rural regions. But if
the advance in prices is due to the reason assigned
by Professor Patton, how could 1t be explained
that in the older parts Of Europe where the same
conditions of city, populations increasing while
the rural sections are either stationary or decln-
ing, there has been no such advance in prices rs
has been witnessed in America.
There may be some truth in the assertion of the
Pennsylvania professor but it should be remem-
bered that the present prices are largely artificial
ones, created by the trusts and combines that
control production. The combines of the middle
men practically control the prices Of farm prod
ucts. A continued rise of prices may be expected
so long as the business of the country is not done
on a competitive basis.

CARE OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.

THE attitude of England towards so-called
- socialistc methods-that is the activity Of
the state--shows what a change has occurred in
nation where indvidualism and non-nterfer-
ence by the state were once the dominant senti-
ment and advocated by group OF learned philos-
ophers like Spencer and other writers of lesser
note
The London Daily Mail declares that England
has Jagged far behind the continental nations in
caring for school children. Since 1870 the chill
dren have been forced into school and burdened
with studies to weary their brains, but nothing
until recently has been done for the physical wei.
fare of the scholars Many OF the children have
gone to school in tattered garments, hungry. suf-
fering from physical defects and otherwise un-
fitted for tasks that were put ndiscriminaely be-
fore them. AS the Londo nNail says:
Anything more tragic tina nthe little girl half
blind trying to do fine needlework, or the little
boy of defective hearing, perchance with an empty
stomach, being crammed with the rubbish of the
'ologies, cannot be imagined. nation depends
for its future on its children, and England has
neglected them
The French have been among the leaders in
looking after the physical welfare Of school chill
dren Physicians, under direction OF the govern
ment look after the physical development of the
children, examine their teeth and their eyes. see
that they suffering from no serious disease.
The English Parliament recently passed a bill
requiring the educational boards to provide for
medical inspection of pupils before or at the time
of their admission to schools 1t is realized that
the children are to be the future citizens OF the
state, and nothing, therefore, can be more impor-
tant than attention to their physical welfare.
In some Of the larger cities of the United States
notably New York progress has been made in
caring for the physical condition of the child and
this change in educational methods before long
will be adopted by every city Of Importance in
the country which values the child at its true
worth.

The vast number of persons interested in the
stocks of railroad and other companies is shown
by compilation of the holdings of the Peunsy-
vania railroad stock made on October I. The
outstanding capital stock of the company on that
date was $3t2,o6t,ooo, divided into 624I23S
shares, which shares were held by nearly 10000
different people. A small army is therefore in
terested in the welfare of the railroad company.
An analysis of the affairs iother giant corpora
tons would show similar widespread division Of
the stock How important then, is it that such
corporations should be so managed that the in
terests of the stockholders shall be safeguarded.

of repairing streets Of the city with asphalt Al
though fewer repairs were made in 1906 the ex-
penses to the city were $1,000. During the last
summer expenses for repairs we're $1,000 The
difference was because the municipality itself did
