The present discussion of the tariff
question has brought about some
strange alignments among differen,
factions of the opposing parties, and
has demonstrated the fact that locality
and personal interests have great
deal to do with the adjusting of the
viewpoint of some of the great law
makers. Both Tillman. of South
Carolina, and Bailey, of Texas, lead
ers of the hre-eating element of De-
mocracy, went over into the camp of
their political enemies and voted for
a protective duty on the South Car
DINA tea industry, thus multiplying any
argument they may hereafter offer in
opposition to protection of home in
dustrles. The United States con-
sumes 100, 900, 600 pounds of tea an
nually, while the home product is but
an insignificant 1000.

EXERCISE A FoLLY7

TT NDISAfAYED by the worship of sports
" that is prevalent in the country, Professor
Muensterberg of Harvard is on the warpath
again. He has started a crusade against what
he terms the craze for athletic exercise Exer-
else has been preached dogmatcallv bv people
OF all sorts. Volumes of books have been
written upon the subject and every man. old or
young, has been advised to plunge into exercise.
But have not all begun to cut trees in a forest
or saw wood in the back yard for exercise and
we may therefore take consolation from the
words OF wisdom of the Harvard teacher
He is psychologist and profound thinker,
as professors go. He tells us that our ills
which the new doctors and the physical cultur-
lists say can be waited away by half hours
work thinning corn are imaginary, and that
dread of nervous collapse is fancy. Exercise
he declares 10 be a superstition. 1t is positively
harmful. Even moderate exercise is not needed,
and to train ones self by system of daily con-
tortons is to sin against the light of science
and reason
The remedy for i'll conditions, adds the pro-
fessor is simply rest sleep, fresh air and good
nourishment. According to DR.. Muensterberg,
millions of people running wildly to catch
ball, lifting weights in fullest perspiraton, trot-
ting with a gasping breath, walking
madly through the country, and doing
hundreds of other Stunts" because "senseless
fashion and quack teaching have made them
slaves of exercise" 1t is a good thing to take
a walk in the country, admits the professor, but
it should be done for the pure enjoyment Of
nature and not for the purpose of taking exercise.
Beauty and variety are desirable, but you do not
need exercise.
There are other professors who violently dis
agree with DR.. Muensterberg, and a lively con-
troversy is going on. The Germans have by
some been considered to be of sedentary habits
but that nation is rapidly coming more and more
to sports and exercise. The Professor may be
a lingering representative OF the old school.
What a comfortable gospel of lazy salvation
is that preached by the Harvard savant. The
average man cares not for the exertion of exer-
else He has read so much about it and heard
comfortable and fine doctors who never walked
a square when they could ride. tell him that he
ought to do stunts" every morning and night
for the benefit of his health, that he has started
for short time at least to exercise, but the
flesh is weary and weak is the will.
EveSy advocate of the Muensterbergian theory
will console himself when he takes a car after
his heavy morning meal to his place of business,
and when he loafs instead of going through
gymnasium drills, or initiating the Wiggles-
worth Walking Wizards, with the fact that he
has the opinion of a scientist of note to support
him in
Comfort and solid enjoyment are his doctrine
And he might point to many instances of old
fellows who never took any exercise, but who
lived to a ripe old age while many who were
athletes in their younger days early went the
! way Of all flesh.

CHECK ON MAIL

Government to Experiment
With New Time-Card
system

WASHINGTON, Aug 27.-Compaints
from practically every city of Importance
in the United States regarding delays in
collecting mails has caused the Postof-
fee Department to begin experimenting
with devices intended to remedy the de-
feet.
Most Of the complaints come from New
York, where, il is stated. letters dropped
in boxes in the financial district in the
evening OF one day are not delivered
early enough on the following day to per-
NIT the execution of contracts in the first
hour OF business. This has been due part
ly to the Irregular schedule Of collections.
With view to keeping the public pos
ted as to the exact time that a letter will
be removed from a street box and at the
same time put a check on the collectors.
the Department will begin experiments in
Washington with an adjustable time card
for mail boxes.
The new card is provided with % slides
on each side The time OF collection may
be printed on each slide. The carrier can
insert the exact time when from exper-
lence, he finds he is due to arrive at each
box on his route. 1t is belived that the
Information will prove more satisfactory
to the public and reduce the number of
complaints made because Of deay in the
collection of mail. II also will have the
effect Of making carriers more faithful in

Burban,s Friends and crItI

Burban's Friends and Critics.
New York Evening Sun.
II Is no wonder that Luther Burbank
has turned al last with some resentment
upon his critics. yet it would hardly have
been necessary had he contrived long
since to silence his friends. No man
has suffered more from indiscriminate
eulogy and stupid. unthlnkng enthusi-
asm. But for the many foolish things
that have been written about him and
his "creations" he would not now be
obliged to defend his manifestly useful
services or to heed the cry Of mature
faker."
For his own part he was always con-
tent to do b work: and he did It. not
for riches nor to make great name for
himself, but apparently for the good OF
the community and for love of the work.
He has been a busy man all his life, so
busy, as he once confessed, that he new
er had time to read 1.-THE origin Of Spe-
cies!' We are not aware that he ever
set up as a great savant or pretended
to be more than what he is. His friends,
however, were not content to regard him
as a horticulturist Of genius, but must
proclaim him a wizard" and a man OF
science who had Completely revolutions
all beliefs hitherto held concerning the
origin Of new characters. They wrote
about his ingenious crossings as II these
experiments had demonstrated beyond all
controversy the possibility OF creating
new characters, and spoke plying Of old
fogies in Europe who were still troubling
their heads about Mendeism and other
obsolete questions which no longer had
any practical interest.
Mr.. Burbank probably had no time TO
waste in denying all the absurd opin-
ions attributed to him. the impossible
horticultural creations with which he was
credited or the incredible projects he
was said TO have IN hand. AS a modest
man he must have in hand. As a modest
man he must have been disgusted with
him and his work. and he shows this
disgust plainly enough in his recent ans
wer to his critics:
The extravagant estimates Of my work
have been the bane of my existence.
There has been so much writtn about me
| by sensational writer's who know moth
ing either OF me or my work. 1 am not
responsible for all these things and any
one with any knowledge Of horticulture
could discern at once that much Of the
stuff sent out is nothing but space writ
ers' chaf
What he has done required. as DR.. de
Vries has remarked. "a great genius. an
almost incredible capacity for work and
complete devotion to the purpose in
view" lie probably had not the leisure
to suppress his fatuous worshippers. who
have done more to injure his deserved
reputation than the most ill-natured and
envous OF his critics.

Pictures were taken of Hartman in every

eagerly iotted down by the alert reporters.

Alter all, the question of noise seems to be
one OF the nerves. A young American likes
noise 1t does not affect him adversely Noise
to him is soothing song, representing the gay

OF noise on the part of the young is an inheri
tance. In the older days the man who could
make the most noise was the man who attracted

ANTI.NoIsE CRUSADE.

y ECENTI.Y in London an Anti-Noise con-
~ vention was held at which were delegates
representing four nations. 1t was a unique
gathering, and the movement is likely to spread,
especially among the older folk The conven-
ton was presided over by Mrs Isaac L. Rice.
OF New York City. She reports that it was a
decided success. The movement has made pro-
gress in Germany, says Mrs. Rice. The Ger
man cities will not tolerate barking dogs. crow
ing cocks, the late evening pianos, shreking
peddlers shrill whistles cracking bells and
other similar tortures which. are accepted as a
matter of course in American cities
If this IS true, as Mrs. Rice saws, what on
earth would the Germans do if they had street
cars such we have in Wilmington? In fact.
we fear that Mrs Rice must have spent a
night inWmington before she started her anti
noise crusade. She must have heard the rattle
trap street cars going about with their terrific
noise and racket which seems to be increasing

A WARNING TO MOTHERS.
BY EDWIN A..NYE.

The Staying Of Elsie Sigel, city mis-
sionary in New York, by a Chinaman
has filed the newspapers with its
horrid details during the last month.
The moral generally drawn from the
deplorable tragedy was that young
girls should not be permitted to come
in personal contact with individual
Cinnamon in the effort to christian
ize'' the foreigners.
Which is true.
The influence of the average oriental
over the average girl is stronger than
her influence over him.
Poor Elsie Sigell
The mother did not understand into
what peril she put her flesh and blood
when she allowed her daughter to go
into the slums day and night
The sincerity Of the mothers belief
in Elsie's mission is small comfort now
that she appreciates her neglect Of the
girl.
However
The warning comes to all mothers.
There are perils to innocent girls
other than "the yellow peril"
1t is not from foreigners alone that
daughters need to be protected. There
are men Of every nationality who do
not scruple to take advantage of un-
protected womanhood. They do more
than kill the body and put it into a
trunk They kill the soul.
Mothers cannot be too careful In
shielding their daughters from raven
ing wolves who masquerade in Sleeps
clothing.
Because
The girl does not know. She simply
feels that life is good. The attraction
OF sex is strong upon her. And in the
hands of designing man she may bG
almost helpless.
Therefore the need Of the mothers
watchfulness and care-even from
babyhood TO marriage. The mother

Difficult. sometimes?
Certainly. 1t is one Of the probleml
of motherhood, the first principle o.
which is this: KEEP, by every means
in your power. THE CLOSE CONFI
DENCE or YOUR GIRL CHILD.
There are perils other than cit.
slums.
Mothers. you must know where you
daughters go and with whom they ar
friendly.
You must know the character o.
their associates and surroundings.
Especially must you know wher'
your daughter spends her evenings.
You must know that she receives al
her male friends at home and not b.
| appointment at some street corner.
You must know all these things an'
more-because you are mothers.
