COMMENCEMENT AT DELAWARE.

COMMENCEMENT season at Delaware Col
ege has again focused public attention
upon the excellent educational institution at New
ark that while not entirely belonging TO the State,
can properly be regarded as the State college.
Supported with appropriations from the Federal
Government, Delaware College has received sub
stantial aid from the State of Delaware that has
enabled the completion and equipment of the
many buildings now utilized in the instruction of
the young men of Delaware and contiguous terri
tory of Maryland and Pennsylvania. While this
years graduating class of sixteen may not be the
largest in the history of old Delaware, the inn
petus of the record enrolment in the freshman
class and the stimulus of aroused interest in the
teaching of agriculture a science, which had its
reflection in the farmers meeting at the college
farm on Monday, betoken the brightest prospects
and the healthiest outlook for Delaware College,
with the recognized fitness of its faculty, its in
structors and its facilities to prepare the young
Delawarean of to-day for the struggles Of the
world tomorrow.

TALK AND NERVOUSNESS.

r SPECIALLY during the summer season,
I many ideas are advanced that depart from
The ordinary lines of thought. Much is now read
of the suggested causes for the so-caled nervous
ness OF the American people. We have preachers
conducting clinics for the nervous. Divers per-
sons are writing about the new thought and all
that sort Of thing for the alleged benefit OF HUI
manity and incidentally to gather cash into their
own. .capacious purses,
In Europe the agitation IS similar TO that in this
country Recently an European Savant discov-
cred that many OF the ills from which nervous
people suffer are due to an excess of talk. He
thinks that the Americans talk too much, and be-
cause they are continually talking they become
nervous.
If every man. for instance should devote part
of the day TO silence and cease talking altogether,
his constitution would be greatly benefited and
his health improved. With falling off of talk
there would be less illness of a nervous chracter
Some however, will not agree with this theory.
II IS doubtful if we talk than we used to do.
Our. ancestors were great takers Political meet
lngs were more frequent the speeches were
longer and perhaps more enjoyed We do not
believe that the European savants suggestion can
be taken as a general rule. For instance, years
ago, when minister would preach sermon for
an hour and one-half, the members of the con-
Rregation would often become sleepy and a per-
son who IS made nervous from any cause is not
troubled with sleeplessness The ministers them
selves would not be nervous after their long talk
On the other hand, when an orator talks too long
many persons become nervous and fdget espe-
rially If the orator repeats himself Then, again
q man who talks TO you an hour and tells YOU the
same story that he has told you one hundred
times before, he is likely to make YOU nervous
lhe question, however, opens a wide range of
opinion, but. It does not seem that any general
nehnite conclusion can be reached

Lew Collins. the young man from Phoenix who left his job as assistant secretary of the territory to come to COchise county and do the office work in the headquarters of the territorial republican committee, has written an article in which he implores the young men of Cochise county to vote the republican ticket this fall. If the young men of the county would do as told by Collins it might be useful to Collins in holding his fat political job in Phoenix, but it could have no other beneficial result, either in Cochise county, in Arizona or in the nation. It is not likely that the young men of Cochise county will forget their duty to country, forget their duty to re- buke the republican party which has placed the government under the con- trol of the trusts and protected money kings, forget their duty to stand by the party which has named Bryan for president and to rebuke the party which tried to wipe Arizona of the map by joining it into one state with New Mexico, simply to help MT. Lew Collins hold his place at the pie coun- ter in this territory. The young men of Cochise county will have little in, clination to pause in their work in the mines, in the smelters and on the range to study what would be best for Lew Collins of Phoenix as a result of their ballots.

GLOBE DEMOCRATS.

The regular primaries for the fall election was held in Gila county on Saturday last. The result in Globe could not be more encouraging for the democrats. Out of total vote of 14S6 polIed by the three parties hay ing delegates to elect the democrats boiled 1062; republicans 319; social ists 105. Judging by the city election held in Globe in the month of May the democrats and republicans polled practically their strength, but the so- cialists evidently took little interest in the primary election, as the candi- dates of the socialists are always agreed upon by what is known as the locals" and the voting at the pri- maries is mere formality.
 The heavy vote boiled at the pri- mary by the Globe democrats is a sig nificant fact bearing on the vote this fall; it is a very large straw which shows how the political wind is blow ing in Gila county. It would seem that notwithstanding the fake tele- graphic news sent out from Globe by the Cameron press agent, on the occa- sion of the visit of the republican can didate for congress to that city, that the democrats of that progressive city remain undisturbed, undefiled and un- terrified by the coming of Cameron. One result of the Globe primary, which points to democratic harmony and strength in November, is the fact that the delegates elected to the county convention by the democrats of that city were chosen by a major ity, which shows that there is little division of sentiment within their ranks. What was known as the Thompson-for-sheriff ticket received more than two-thirds of all the votes cast by the democrats. It is under stood that the election of this delega- tion in Globe means that the demo cratic ticket in Gila county is to be headed by Hon. c. ". P. Hunt for the council and that Henry Thompson will be the candidate for sheriff. With these two men on the ticket the re. publicans will not have much remain ming hope for making even a respect able showing for Cameron or anyone else in November.

After the nomination of w. H. Taft as the republican candidate for presf- dent it was announced with a great deal of dignity that MT. Taft would not go on the stump during the cam paign. but the growing enthusiasm for Bryan throughout the country has caused change in plans and arrange ments are now being made for a speaking tour by Taft. Speeches from MT. Taft can do no good. He promises much more than his party platform, but with republican success the repub- lican standpatters in congress will have more to say about what reform laws shall be passed than the presi- dent.

ELEvATiNe
 INFLUENCES OF GOLF.

All golfers will be pleased by the tribute to the 'serupulous honesty" of MT. Rockefeller's golf. paid by a writ CT in the Worlds Work. The Stand ard oil magnate. it is stated, rightly adheres to the rules. He never dodges a penalty. He allows himself no re- oates; every stroke is recorded on his score with accuracy. and he practices no discrimination in improving the ne of his ball. says the World.
 This is an implied tribute to the ele- vating influence of the game. What golfer, whatever expedients he may resort to in business. would think of employing special counsel to contest decision by the rules committee? If MT. Rockefeller had begun golf fifty years ago much of the history of the last three decades might have re- mained unwritten. The name of stand ard oil might be synonymous with benevolent finance and only a small number of American citizens would have heard of Judge Landis.
 The past is irrevocable, but it is ob- rious that an early training on the links would conduce greatly to the decrease of malefactors of wealth. di- maish the volume of court cases aris- ing from the Elkins and Hepburn acts and curtail the output of special mes sages: It is perhaps not too late to utilize golf as a reformatory sport for budding Rockefellers and Harrimans.

It is to be hoped that the negro population of Douglas will appreciate the fact that the decision of the local school board to segregate the negro children from the white children comes from no race hatred. but that 1t has been done for the purpose of preventing further growth of race prejudice in Douglas.

The republican press of the terri tory is devoting much space to the ef- fort of trying to prove that Ralph Cameron is deserving of election to congress because Governor Kibbey has provided the territory with a cred. itable administration of territorial af. fairs. It is admitted that Kibbey has given to the territory a creditable ad- ministration, but this has nothing to do with the claims or fitness of Ralph Cameron to represent Arizona in con gress.

ASLEEP UNDER THE WATER

As showing how much at nme a man may be today under water, may relate an amusing story, says a writer in the August St. Nicholas. some months ago, while the great bat ueship DreadnOught was at Malta, one of the seamen divers went down to clear her propeller from some fiot- sam that had become entangled; and he failed to come up. It chanced that the rest of the battIe-ship's divers were ashore, and grave concern was felt on the ironclad for the missing 'worket. Signals by telephone and lifeline were sent below, without avail. In the launch above. the throp throb Of the air pumps cylinders went on i; but the attendants looked at one an- other in dismay, fearing some strange tragedy deep down in those having green seas
 The worst was feared when some big brushes and other tools came floating to the surface. and thereupon the navigating lieutenant sent ashore an urgent message for one of the other divers. The man came on board, dressed immediately. and went below. only to come up full of indignation
 Why, that fellows been asleep all this time" he said, wrathfully It was true. The man mad just has his lunch, and, finding the work much less seri- ous than he had thought. he finished it in few minutes and then sat com foTtably on one of the giant blades of the Dreadnought's propeller and went to sleep, with inQuisitive fishes swarming around him. The officers were so amused at the occurrence that no punishment was inflicted on the lazy one.

of the campaign

All reports from Phoenix and Mari copa county are to the effect that Mark Smith will have larger ma jority there this year than two years ago. The democrats are in line for a united fight for an old time victory. It may be safely predicted that Mari copa county will easily overcome any possible majorities which Cameron might get in the northern counties. thus leaving the southern counties to pile up a majority of not less than two thousand for the democratic can didate for congress.

The Dispatch political dope writer had another pipe dream last night which was spread over the front page of that paper this morning in the shape Of a fake interview with an un- named democrat at Benson. Such at tempts to bolster up the hopeless can didacy of Ralph Cameron only points to the desperation of the republicans in this county
