TIME FOR STUDY AND SLEEP

Mothers know that the newborn in
FAINT must sleep about twenty-five hours,
and that this amount Is SO slowly les
sened that the child still demands twelve
hours when it Is Is years old. 1t is quite
likely that the normal amount is not
reduced to ten hours until about Is years
of age, or perhaps until Il years. Nine
hours may be required until well along in
years.
To let boys of IA sit up until 10 O'Clock
and then rout them out at s is nothing
short of criminal. but it is a long-estab-
iished custom. Lower animals can be
quickly killed by depriving them of sleep
the boy is not killed, but perhaps he is
so exhausted that he loses resistance to
disease.
Medical students not infrequently make
the same mistake. forgetting that a tired
brain never absorbs anything. The mid
night oil frequently represents wasted
time and money. and the student sleeps
during the next days lectures when he
should be wide awake.
A good test OF exhaustion is the ten

of the best men habitually take ten

as fresh at the end OF the term as at
the beginning-the vacation is for an
other purpose than sleep.
The whole subject. though very old. is
so new to the laymen who do the dam
age to schoolboys. particularly in board
ing schools. that there is urgent need Of
wider publicity and much discussion for
enlightenment. Not only will proper
sleep permit more to be gained for less
effort, but it will prevent the exhaus-

HALLWAY PUBLICITY URGED.

Commenting on the attitude OF the
public toward railways in accident
cases, and the cause of the antagonistic
sentiment that has been aroused by the
policy of reticence adopted by most
railroad arrangements, the Railway
Age, friendly authority, suggests that
the companies pursue Systematically
the policy of giving to the press at
regular intervals the results of their
own investigation into the causes of
accidents. 1t goes even further and
advances the idea of reporting to the
public serious acts of negligence on the
part of employees even where no acct
dent resulted.
AS a reason for these suggestions the
publication calls attention to the fact
that recently published statistics show:
% That in the first years the rail-
ways have made reports of accidents
TO the interstate commerce commission
over 20 per cent of the serious collisions
on American railways have been due
to the negligence of trainmen and en-
ginemen.
(2) That where serious collisions
have occurred on lines protected by
block signals 81 per cent of these have
been due to negligence of trainmen and
signalmen.
(s) That of all the train accidents
In 1906 on the Erie railroad 50 per cent
could have been avoided had every en-
pIoye concerned done his full duty.
Such facts as these cannot be ig-
nored. and the point it is desired to
make is that good discipline and high
morale among railway employees are

Republican Party and the Negro

In the nine states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, New Jer-
say, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia, there are 211, 4s6
negro voters. All the years between
1872 and 1894 these negroes gave the
Republicans every president and every
congress that party had. They made it
possible for Hayes to be president.
They elected Garfield in 1850 and Har-
rison in 1883. The Forty-seventh and
Fifty-first congresses had Republican
majorities in the house because of their
votes, and the same is probably true of
the Forty-third. Ali the other con-
crosses between the Forty-second and
Fifty fourth We're Democratic. The
senate of the Forty-seventh congress
was Republican because of the north
ern negro vote; the same is true of the
Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth;
Fifty-first and Fffty-second congresses.
But for that northern negro vote the G.
o. =. would shed no tears over the ne
gro at the south. All this Brownsville
investigation is for northern consump-
ton only. Roosevelt knows that and
that is why he threatened Cincinnati
with negro collector of customs.

fury. but for northern intermeddling.
If there had been no anti-slavery soeie-
ty, no blatant abolitionists at the north
there would not have been a slave
state in the union north of South Caro-
lima by 1861, and by this time voluntary
emancipation would have been COM
plete. The war between the states
would have been fought, I make 10
doubt, sooner or later, but that war
would have grown out of the dispute
over the extent of the powers delegated
to the federal government and the
scope of the reserved powers.
And the United States senate would
serve its country better right now if it
would drop the negro troops that shot
up Brownsville and deliberate on the
question as to whether there are any
states rights left in this land.
Secretary Root and Mr.. Mccall have
sounded to the charge.

essential, if such appalling accidents as
those fresh in the minds of all our
readers are to be prevented. Discipline
is difficult to enforce in a republic, and,
in fact, cannot be enforced, unless the
authority administering it has the sym
pathy and support of the public. With
out the support of public opinion any
statute will soon become a dead letter.
How often in America is a railway
employee punished for criminal negli-
gence. even though his act may have
caused the deaths of scores of persons2
Scarcely an instance can be cited. The
public, as its opinion is expressed by
the actions of juries, syTnpathizes with
the culprit and visits it's censure upon
his employer when civil suits for dam
ages are brought against the company.
The Herald has called attention al
ready to the fact that some of the
greatest railway systems have adopted
the policy suggested by the Railway
Age. and they have found it to their
advantage. Suppression of facts in

result except to make the public sus-
picious and arouse needless hostility to
the management. When the railroads
give all the details at their command,
and show their official reports as some
do in such cases, it is prima facie evil
dence that they have nothing to con-
ceal and their statements command a
confidence not to be had by any system
of suppression and distortion. The Sc
quel is to be found IN a friendly rela-
ton between the railway and it's pat
rOns which is of distinct monetary
value. part of the company's good will,
and which is particularly serviceable in
times when a misdirected popular
furore is utilized by the INSCRIPTIONS
to advance their personal and political
fortunes by indiscrirninate attacks on
public service corporations, whether
they deserve censure OF not.

AN EXPERT OPINION.

Once in a while P. j. Moran, con-
tractor-in -chief for the city of Salt
Lake, rises to make a remark. 1t
Patrick usually has something to say,
and he says it in the fewest possible
words. Such an occasion arose in a
meeting of the board of public works
on Thursday night, and Moran arose
with it.
The board was discussing the new
assessment law regarding public works
which has so many and so varied inter
pretations at the hands of the city adj
ministration. The discussion wearied
Moran. IF you award me this con-
tract" he said, II will sign it and go
ahead with the work regardless of the
opinion OF the city attorney or any one
else. I'm not guessing on this matter,
otherwise 1 would not have bid. I know
what I'm doing"
Note the brevity and terseness of the
diction; the absence of superfIuous
words, OF tautology or oratOry. Isn't
it refreshing to find at least one men,
Der OF the city administration who
knows what he is doing? City attor-
neys may be in doubt, the public works
board may be timid, the city council
be lost in a trance. and the mayor
dreaming, but at least one man in the
cabinet is on the job and doesn't hest
tate to say SO.
TE5g-
sion and misty language of the other
city administration headsI Some of
them aver that pavements which are
paid for two years ago and contracted
for almost as long, cannot be laid now
because a law was passed by the last
legislature which gives them an excuse
for lodging. Others pretend to think
the law requires a separate advertise
ment for each piece of property to be
assessed, a separate contract for each
and separate levies to correspond. They
believe. or pretend to believe. that the
new law makes it impossible to proceed
with the great program of improve
ment laid out by them.
But no such fears embarrass Moran,
and in reckless disregard of his asso-
ciates in the city government, he
laughs at their statements and offers
to go right along with his philanthropic
work OF improving the city, law or no
law: all he wants is the contract.
On the face Of the situation, the city
administration ought either to suppress
work. On general principles his opin-
ion and his lawyers ought to be quite
as good. If not better, than any other
city employees, because he knows a
good deal more than most of them, and
they usually follow his directions any
way. His opinion may be little ex-
pensive, but 1t has usually been based
on a practical experience that the city
has paid for, so it ought to be good.

to work the coal deposits of Spitzbergen,
which are situated in the interior of the
