PIsTOL-TOTING AND TEMPERANCE.
That shooting affair in the national
capital, in which Representative Hef-
lin has unhappily involved himself,
appears to be rather curiously inter-
wined with the crusade against drink.
In the first place, Mr.. Heflin was on
his way to deliver a temperance lee
ture at a Methodist church at tho
time that the ARRAY occurred. In the
second place the original offense Of the
negro victim, who now lies critically
wounded. was that he was drinking
whiskey ir the publicity of the street
car If Mr.. Helm had not been In
terested in the prohibition movement
therefore. it seems that he would
neither have been on the car, nor
would mis- feelings have been so stirred
that he would have ended by shooting
down two men. one of them an In
nocent bystander.
Nobody imagines. OF course, that the
pistol IS one of the approved methods
of prohibition or that the anti-saloon
factionists design to cure drinkers by
killing them. But it is curious that
one of the crimes most commonly
traced to whskey origin. namely.
homicidal assault should in this case
have been committed by asman on his
way to promote the cause of temper

The CASE OF
AMBASSADOR HILL
Should American Diplomats Be
Men Of Brains, II Men
of Wealth?

From the New York Evening Post, Indst.
From every angle of observation. the
m~ishandling OF the ease of DR.. Hill, who
was to have been appointed ambassador
to Germany. appears most unhappy. The
OF the emperor. and the back
ing and filling Of the German foreign of
fee, will not help the reputation OF Ger
man diplomacy for exquisite tact.
The whole incident speaks of more h
diplomatic laundering. What led up to
the middle is even more unpleasant n
the misunderstanding itself. Amidst all
the motives which are vaguely said to
have actuated the German emperor. one
thing Is reasonably clear; his desire was
to have an American ambassador who
would be able to entertain on a mag
nihcent scale. Ambassador Tower has
lone this in Berlin. In addition to being
a highly cultivated man, he Is the pos
SCISSOR Of large wealth; and he and his
wife have won q great social success.
Apparently the emperor has thought re-
gretfully of dropping down to an Ameri-
IAN ambassador who was merely q
scholar. practiced In statecraft. whose
wife the kaiser would not be able
to refer to as the Moltke of the Ger
man social season. In addition to this
local eclipse of fashionable gayety, a GER
tain rivalry between Berlin and London
has obviously figured in the case. The
American ambassador to England has
lived on q scale which would be called
princely. II any princes nowadays had
as much money to spend. Mr.. Reds
lavish hospitality at Dorchester house,
and at the large country place which he
has taken the better to figure in the great
world, has given him fame, and has. doubt
less aided him in. his real work, but has
set a pace which is the envy or despair
Of other embassies. And, seemingly, the
German emperor has felt that invidious
comparisons would be made If. across the
North sea, an American ambassador
should decline the competition in social
grandeur. Hence his desire, which. in
it's expression, has had such unlucky re-
suits, that a man of large fortune should
be sent to represent the United States in
Berlin.
These international jealousies and de-
mands of a social kind are all at the
expense Of the American diplomatic serv-
ice. We hear of no such questions of
ability to entertain gorgeously raised in
connection with the ENJOYS from any other
nation. Must we change the old defini-
ton, and make it read that an American
ambassador Ia a man sent abroad to spend
500, 900 a year for his country? The con-
trast with an earlier day seems painful.
When George Bancroft was minister to
Germany no one asked what was his year
ly outlay on cut flowers and champagne.
No American diplomatist ever stood high
er than George p. March, for so many
years our representative in Italy; but he
was merely a scholar of international rep
~utation, and a delightful gentleman, who
lived on his salary. Lowelrs great sue
cess in England was won on the con-
tents rather of his head than his pocket.
Mr.. Bayard was held in high esteem In
London, though he was compelled to live
modestly. Are such examples no longer
pOSSibIe?

A kindergarten Appreciation.

- From the Boston transcript.
1t is greatly to be hoped that the Cam.
bridge authorities will find a way to keep
their k~indergartens open. Public senti-
ment generally in regard to the kinder
garten is just now undergoing the re-
action which inevitably follows the first
food tide of all reforms; but 1t is a re-
action which cannot last. AS President
Eliot said last year in an address. the
Kindergarten is at the present time, apart
from the university, our one thoroughly
successful form of education. 1t Is the
one kind of school in which modern edu-
cational ideals have been thoroughly and
consistently applied. It. is In the Kinder
garten alone that due regard is had to
the nature of the creature society is deal
ing with on the one hand, and to his
social destiny on the other: in which there
is neither an aimless following of the child
whithersoever his whim may lead, nor the
forcing of a system of education regard
less of whether 1t reaches its aim or not,
nor vet a more or less haphazard mixture
of the two.
The kindergarten recognizes that the
child to be educated is the child hat is,
and it recognizes further that the environ
ment in which education must enable the
child to grow is the social world In which
he finds himself. 1t strengthens his mem
bership In the family and in the state.
1t leads him to develop his natural rela-
tons toward the outer world, toward
constructive work, calling out the power
that is in him through the great vital
relations in which his life is to be found.
And in doing this the kindergarten has
not been divided between two conflicting
aims-the developing the child on the one
hand, and the suiting him to society. on
the other. 1t was an evidence of Froe-
bells genius that he earlier than others
mastered the fact that the child and his
social environment are one: that he is
a child in virtue of the existence of the
family; that he is a citizen because there
is a state: and that he is a worker and
creator because there Is constructive and
creative work for his hands to dc.

him, but he seemed to get worse. He

Frank Gotch. OF Humboldt. the worlds

as ar authority on physical affairs. He
has the following to offer to the public:
Temper your exercise with moderation.
It is just as harmful to oyerdo a thing
as to underdo 1t.
Cleanliness Is not only next to Godli-
ness" but 1t is essential to a perfect ply
sique.
Deep breathing is one OF the essentials
to good health.
No one appreciates more than the ath-
lete the wisdom OF the proverb. Early
to bed and early to rise. makes one
healthy, wealthy and WISE
The man who eliminates exercise be-
comes a slave to his work. If he takes
exercise IN moderation he becomes Its
master.
See that your sleeping apartment is
properly ventilated An improperly VEN
tilated sleeping room Is conclusive to all
sorts of ills.

a good working team.
