A VIEW ruprRcu1osrs CURE.

The benefits of walking as a health
full exercise are often extolled, and
interest in this simplest and most nat
ural of all r%ecreations has greatly in
creased since the demonstration of it's
possibilities by Edward Payson Wes-
ton. But we do not remember before
to have heard of the recommendation
of ped~estrianism as a means of pre-
venting particular diseases. Yet that
is just what DR.. Evans, health COM
missioner of Chicago. claims for 1t.
DR.. Evans urges its practise as being
almost a specific" against tuberculo-
sis and pneumonia.
These diseases figure largely in the
mortality at this time of year, and
whatever may possibly tend to limit
their encroachments is worthy of re-
spectful attention. Instead of breathing
in the vitiated atmosphere of a germ
laden trolley car, DR.. Evans advises
that everyone living within two miles
of his work should walk to and from it
every day. The advice Is wholesome.
That the microbes have a less chance
to work in the open during a two-mile
walk han in a stuffy car needs no ar
gument. The extra time required for
the walk is small in comparison with
the benefit received. The person en-
gagged in sedentary employment who
does not take at least this much Of
exercise daily falls the easiest victim
to grip and colds, which too often are
the forerunners of the diseases against
which DR.. Evans mentions walking as
n nossible spectfic.

There is no doubt whatever in their
minds that 1t ought to come. With
this sentiment in the party, Republic

choice for the nomination, and gave
him an enthusiastic Endorsement.
Just now the incoming Governor has
his nlind occupied with the affairs of

Stokes smiles at the suggestion of his

Military rite. Discountes.

The late Senator Morgan used toS enjoy
telling a story illustrative of the cheap
ness of military titles a few years after
the Civil War.
A traveller in the South was passing
through a certain populous country district,
and stopped to converse with a farmer
who had a considerable number of men
at work in his hay fields.
Most of these men are old soldiers"
said the farmer.
"You don't tell me! Were any of them
officers?'t
Two of them. One there was a private,
and the man beyond was a corporal but
the man beyond him was a major. and
that man away over yonder was u
colonel"
Are they all good men?"
We'll" replied the farmer, II amt
going to say anything against any man
that fought for the South. That private's

COLLEGE MAN as A FARMER.

In stating his theory that q college

true, In any walk of life the man OF

the man who has had M advantages.
The secretary is also wise in urging
the extension of college courses Tor in

is just the chance that some of those
who take the courses may turn their

But il must be admitted that of those
who graduate from college, even after

who return TO the farm is compare
lively small Their college training has

Hunting.

One Of the most jovial men in Denver
is q big fellow who likes to hunt. Every
Saturday night for the past six weeks
he has put on his hunting coat, cap ana
belt and has taken his gun to go up to
Brighton to hunt chickens or ducks. But
he has not reached the hunting ground
this fall. He always starts down Six
teenth seieet TO catch a night train. He
knows all the saloon men along the street
and he always stops in each place to tell
the men behlnd the bar how much game
he intends to get. AT each place he takes
a drink, and IL he finds congenial com
pany, several more. The result is that he
always misses his train. Then 1t takes
him several hours more to explain along
the street how he happened to miss the
train. Every Sunday morning FOR the
last six weeks he has been seen walk
ing slowly homeward with his gun on his
arm. He just can't catch the train.-Den-

FROM STAR


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Please tell us how it is that the date of
Easter is a movable one, while Christmas
always falls on December ?5? l.. B.. T..
TYour two questions call for the one
same answer, viz, because the church
willed 1t So" in the following manner: At
the Council of Nice, held mot at Nice in
Italy, by the wav, but at Nice in Asia
Minor. now called Isnik) in the summer of
S25, by summons of the Emperor Constan-
tine. it was decreed that Easter should be
celebrated on 1.-The first Sunday after the
full moon, which happens upon or next
after the 21st of March," and that, when
the full noon happens upon a Sunday,
Easter Sunday shall be the Sunday after.
And this decree was promulgated for the
purpose of putting an end to the dissension
that had existed ever since the festival of
Easter had been instituted about A. d..
$50, the Christmas in Jerusalem and the
East generally holding 1t at the same time
as the Jewish Passover, while the remain
der of Christendom had a particular objec-
ton TO that late, due TO its very associa-
ton with that festival. In the same way,
in regard to Christmas. ii was once pos
sibly the most movable OF Christian festi-
vsls. the birth of Christ having been as
signed by different authorities to different
dates any where between October 3 and
March 4. and the celebration thereof hav-
April and May by the eastern churches.
This led Cyril. bishop of Jerusalem. in $50,
to obtain an order from Pope Julius I. for
an investigation of this mooted point by
t~heologians of the East and West; and
the result of their researches, chiefly
among the tables of the censors" (the re-
ports of the Census Bureau, as we would

typhoid epidemic that prevails In that
town. But the consumption OF raw
oysters and celery is not peculiar to
Trenton. Lots of these dainties are
eaten in other cities and towns where
there is no typhoid epidemic. 1t is
much more reasonable to attribute the
outbreak to the consumption of sew
age-laden aqueduct water taken from
the filthy Delaware River.
A few years ago when the Pequan-
mock water supply was cut off by
anchor Ice at the source of supply, the
Board of Works set the Belleville
pumps going and pumped Passaic
water at B~elleville into the distribu-
ting reservoir there. The result was a
typhoid epidemic, attended by a o
of deaths. If ever there was a doubt
OF the connection between a polluted
water supply and a typhoid epidemic.
that disastrous experiment settled it.
Trenton's water supply is obviously
bad, and as the filth in the Delaware
River is increasing 1t is bound to be
worse unless some means shall be taken
TO purify 1t. The people of Trenton
have had due warning. and if they
neglect to act they will inevitably suf-
fer in life, health and substance.

rHE NEW NATIONAL GUARD.

Now that the National Guard of New
Jersey is really a National Guard and
under the supervision of the War De-
partment, the necessary changes to
bring the Guard under the operation of
the provisions of the Dick law are to be
made at once. The plan of organization
is to be remodelled inc many officers
dropped or reduced in rank. to conform
with the organization of the regular
army. Inspections will be made by a
detailed United States Army officer.
The organized State militia system of
this country has sustained a radical
change by the Dick law. Originally It
was represented by self-supporting
train bands and a few crack corps that
figured prominently socially. The train
bands evoluted into independent com
panies and ~bsttalions and these were
finally organized into regiments and
brigades under State authority. But at
no time was the militia a force to be
depended on in a great emergency.
The plan of the government is to make
the militia an effective second line OF
defense, as well as a training school for
soldiers to recruit the regular army in
time of war. Probably in a few years
this force will be completely national
lied n be directly under the orders
Of the Secretary Of War.

The opportunities for wealth and adj

too likely to seem infinitesimal in COM
parison with the rewards in profess

are few. These few. however. are the
men the secretary wants, and the col
leges that aid in producing them are
doing a worthy work. No service is
nobler than that of the farmer. and
the wonder is that the independence
of his life ahd its freedom from the
restrictions and difficulties that beset
the city toiler do not attract more men
whose education should enable them to
mark the distinction.

%B0NAPARTE DOOMED BY
DOCTORS FOR PRESIDENT

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-An underground
movement which has as its object the
election of Attorney-General Charles j.
Bonaparte to the Presidency of the
United States is in progress. IT. has
come up for breath in Chicago, Wash
ington and Boston. and may be looked
to appear briefly in New York and In
dianapolis.
So far as is known 1t is the only
underground campaign which is being
conducted, and at present there is no
evidence to indicate that Mr.. Bonaparte
is aware of the proceedings himself.
The campaign managers are physicians.
They have their issue, and they have
selected Mr.. B~onaparte as their candidate
because he Is known to favor the propo-
sition. The issue is the DETERMINATION of
the criminal classes" The physicians pro-
pose to. confine habitual criminals in
asylum prisons for life. Mr.. Bonaparte,
as he has made known in his speeches,
would hang them. The physicians admit
that the habitual criminal should be
hanged. but they are afraid that the coun-
try is not ready for this.

STATE COMMISSIONS AND SALARIES

AS the members of the State Rail-
road Commission receive $4,000 a year
salary it is natural that some of them
should perceive good reasons why the
commission should be retained. Gen
eral Joseph w. Congdon. of Passaic, is
of that opinion. He believes the State
should have two high-salaried commits
sions to look after the public utilities,
one for railroads, steam n electric,
the telegraph and telephone companies
and the express companies, and the
other the gas, water and electric
light and power companies
The New York city public service
commission has jurisdiction over all
public utility companies, and it seems
to be fairly successful in dealing with
them all. General Congdon is used
to the State commission idea in New
Jersey of one session a week and plenty
of time to do something else. That
idea is going out of fashion.
Thu feeling is that a man who is
paid a good salary by the State should
fairly earn 1t. Heads of State depart
ments who visit their Offices for three
or four hours once a week, and draw
as much as $4,000 a a in salaries,
while their deputies, also paid by the
State, do all the work, have become
unpopular. The abolition of the rail-
road commission is. a boundeh duty of
the next Legislature.

Boston has followed the example of Chi
cago by ousting a Democratic Mayor and
putting a Republican postmaster in his
place. In the election Tuesday Mayor
John +. Fitzgerald was defeated by George
A. Hibbard. An interesting feature of the
contest was the run made by Coulthurst,
candidate Of the Independence League.
Unofficial figures show that he polled al
most half as many votes as did the winner.
This is considered n good showing for n
third party candidate In a city not much
given in the past to trying political exper-
iments.
The Democrats lay their defeat to the
Hearst candidate, whose $1,000 votes they
claim came from Democratic ranks.
Though the Independence League In Mas
saehusetts does not appear able to get
much for itself, it Is causing considerable
anguish among its opponents. The league
candidate for Governor last month polled
a larger vote than the head of the Demo-
cratic tickle and probably contributed
materially to the ~latter's feeling of distress
when the result was announced. The Bos-
ton election furnishes another indication
that the stronghold of the Hearst move
ment, II it has a stronghold, is in the Bay
State.
A further spread of prohibition sentiment
is noticed in the results of municipal cleo
lions through Massachusetts Tuesday.
