In these days when the Toledo
papers are constantly telling about
the bank failures in that city wherein
one person is said to have given his
notes for $4,000, and for which the
blnk holds no other security, it would
seem that the man who borrowed Il G
money on such flimsy security was
not so guilty as is the bank official
who gave out the money which had
been confiled to his keeping by trust
ing depositors, without safe guarding
the loan with a security which he
knew was guilt edged. The great
wonder to us is, how men who are
guilty of such acts, can feel safe in
walking the street where their inno-
cent, trusting, but ruined depositors
can so easily take fearful, though just,
evenge.

Ormonde and Mary Servoss, two Of
the best known stars on the stage and
it is absolutely the best company ever
brought to Toledo.
In the first act of "The Man On The
Box we find Robert Warburton be-
fore judge charged with reckless
driving and abduction. 1t seems he
shaved OIL his beard, borrowed his
coachman's livery and jumped on the
box of carriage just as the ball was
ending. He thought 1t would be good
run to fool his sister by landing her at
her own door and kissing her as she
left the carriage. But unluckily for
him he got the wrong carriage and
kiss d the wrong girl. He drove so
recklessly that the fair occupant of his
carriage had him arrested.
She likes his looks so we'll that she
pays his fine and hires him as her
coachman. He accepts the job and
naturally she falls in love with him,
little dreaming that he is anything but
a coachman.

fine triplets, all girls. The other

The senate committee has practi-
cally completed its labors on its sub
stitute for the Payne tariff bill and
we venture to believe that the coun-
try generally will commend the meas,
ure of the upper house as material
improvement oyer that of the house
of representatives. There are few
increases in the senate bill, but in the
main the revision of Senator Aldrich
and his collegdes has been downward.
The widely criticised increase of the
duty on gloves and hosiery has been
removed and the Dingley rates, which
were quite heavy enough haye been
restored. There is material increase
in the duty on wines and champagnes,
especially the latter, and this item
alone is expected to bring the treas
ury an increase of revenue of not less
than $3,000,000; and certainly the rev.
enues of the country could be raised
from no better source than the pock
cts of those more or less affected
members of society who feel they
must serye champagne at their en-
tertainments or must "blow themsel-
yes" for this extravagant and wholly
unsatisfactory beverage in hotels and
public places. A duty has been
placed on iron ore, but it is small
one, only 40 cents a ton, and the 9TH
er items in the steel schedule have
been adjusted accordingly. The lum
ber tax is left at 81 a thousand feet,
which is where the house placed it
and where it seems likely to stay, de-
spite the powerful and disgrunted
lumber lobby which has haunted the
capitol ever since the tariff bill was
taken up. Coca, which the house
taxed three cents pound, the senate
restored TO the free list on the ground
that it is a breakfast necessity to
many people. Altogether the senate
substitute is moderate sand reasona.
BILE bill and while it will be made the
subject OF severe criticism by those
who do not believe in the doctrine of
tariff duties, even these must admit
that the production of those welded
to the protective system it is COM
mendable piece OF work.

We hope success will crown the eff
forts of those senators and rep
resentatives from the western part OF
the country, who, in their anxiety to
have President Taft visit the Pacific
Coast States this summer, have start
ed a movement to secure the passage
of bill providing fund to defray
the presidents travelling expenses
The last congress increased the pres
ident's salary to $4,000, but made
allowance no for trayeling expenses.
Senator Bourne and others sought to
have the presidents compensation in
creased to 100000, and the $4,000
provision was compromise.

American stroke AS to the experts, they
are freely expressing their opinion that
1t was the narrow. continuous leg drive
that enabled Daniels to take three sec
onds off Barney Kieran's great furiong
record and reduce 1t to 2:25 3-5.
In the light Of recent developments 1t
Is not uncalled fer to remark that not
one Of those having attempted to initiate
Daniels combination crawl has benefited
by 1t. In fact, some Of our best SWIM
mers-and among them Connie Truben-
bach of the New York A. C.-say they
can trace a decided fall Off in speed TO
the day they adopted the wide kick.
Theory pointed that way. and intelligent
American coaches have always spoken
about 1t, but 1t is hard to reason against
success, and when Daniels went on pilinS
record upon record it became an absolute
impossibility to make the embryo cham
piOns believe that he might be winning in
spite of his stroke rather than because
Of it. 1t stands to reason, though, that
lifting the leg out Of the water to the
knee must tend to sink the lower part
of the body. This naturally breaks the
balance and affords added resistance. so
that there is bound to be a check. In
the American crawl the legs are almost
entirely submerged all the time and the
body travels evenly and smoothly.
Our good coaches have been unanimous
In pronouncing the home style best, and
now that Daniels has shown inclination
to share this view 1t Is likely that the
Australian kick will be placed upon the
shelf for keeps.

REVIEW OF COLLEGE
Swimming SEASON

NEW YORK, May 1.-The last meet OF
the intercollegiate Swimming Associa-
ton season OF 10000 has been held, and
It Is gratifying In looking back to note
its remarkable achievements. Not only
was the class Of student swimmers better
than In the past. but what means far
more the association undertook to re-
wise and correct rules that needed
amending. thus materially helping prog
ress and development.
That records did not fall very plenti-
fully was due to poor luck rather than
to lack Of ability. Both Chambers and
Denniston Of Princeton broke in prac-
tice the latter's mark of % 3-5 SECONDS.
Denniston being credited with 25 3-5 In a
closed meet, but he left college before
the championships came of.
Wilmington Of Harvard was unquestion-
ably able to dispose of Chambers 100
yard figures of 90 3-5 seconds. but went
out for the crew and had to drop swim
ming. His teammate, Cutler. dethroned
Shyrock's 220-yard standard Of 2.4S 30
and put up instead 239. about as good
excepts Daniels.
Hopkinson Of Pennsylvania just fell
shy, with seventy-one feet. Of Beattie's 8
record Of seventy-two feet for the plunge.
but the Quaker quartet, ShyrOck, Dalrym-
pie, Sylvester and Graham, lowered the
500 feet figures Of 2.4O As first to 2.39 3-5
and then to 236 80.
The team swimming championship
went to Pennsylvania again, with a clean
score OF four victories and one tie. This
tie was due to athletic relations with Har-
ward being severed. but there Is no doubt
that 1t would have been another victory
had the teams met.
The individual championships were
marked by rather poor performances ow-
ing principally to several of the top
notchers being absent Beattie. Rich
ards, Denniston, Cutler. Wilmington, Daw-
barn and several others OF the best in
the league were unable to take part.
Chambers OF Princeton captured the 80
and 100 yard events. Stoddard Of Yale
the furlong. Dalrymple of Pennsylvania
the fancy diving and Hopkinson OF Penn
sylvania the plunge for distance.
Yale proved second best In the race
for swimming honors, winning all but
the Pennsylvania meet Here the score
was So to Is, showing kistler's pupils to
be really in class by themselves. Prince
ton and Harvard looked formidable at
the start, but the Tigers lost Denniston
and Dawbarn and the Crimson Cutler
and wilmington, and after that they
were not in the running at all.
The seasons scores best tell the tale of
how things went:
