THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER.

The Sciota. Ohio Gazette, printed at
Chiliieothe, has passed it's 10th an
niyersary. and is a member of the
Century Club OF American Newspapers
to which The Courier belongs. is the
Oldest paper in Ohio, and claims the
distinction of being the oldest paper
IN the Country which has had no
change of name in ITO years. The
Gazette celebrated the event by issu-
ing "a handsome solvent, edition with
a. finely printed and illustrated supple
ment giving condensed history of the
paper, which was started in 1900,
with photographs of the establishment
and all persons connected with the
paper, even to the % newsboys. The
paper was born in log cabin and has
grown up with the city, and, strange
to say, not only possesses it's own files
complete, but also the files of sixteen
other papers which have entered the
field as competitors since 1903, and
given up the GHOST. 1t has a way of
remembering it's friends and it's enc
mics, too. May the Sciota Gazette en-
JOY perpetual youth and at last be
discovered 20 be the symbol of per-

Exnosina a EaIlacy.

Lolllbroso and his fellows trumpeted
their theory of criminal type so
loudly and mistakenly that it may even
be said to have been accepted as
popular belief. The address Of Sir
EVELYN Ruggles Brise, the eminent
English penologist, before the Inter-
national Prison Congress in Wash
ington, in which he vigorously assails
the Italian theory. is, therefore, of un-
usual interest and valid. Sir Evelyn
saws bIuntly that he .does not believe
a murderer can be revealed by his
ing forehead or the shape of his nose.'
tween the mental and physical
mere superstition.
If those who have thoughtlessly ac-
cepted the Lombroso theory had paus-
ed to examine the evidence presented
evn within the limited range of their
own locality thy would have found by
a visit to the penal institution or the
criminal courts that any attempt to
generaIize a criminal by his physical
features was absurd AS Sir Evelyn
points out, so far as statistics of physi-
cal measurements of criminals have
been classified they present a startling
conformity with those of law-abiding
citizens. Proof of this may be had al
most any day. How often upon seeing
a photograph of some principal in a
notorious or revolving crime has the
average citizen been moved to sur
prise that the ruff1an should fail to
look the part ?-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The Old Guard.

The defeat of the old guard by
Colonel Roosevelt at the Saratoga con-
vention, with the substitution of Ezra
P. Prentice for Timothy L. Woodruff
as chairman of the state committee,
led naturally to the expectation that
the old guard was no longer to run the
republican politics of New York state.
What surprise to the politicians to
find the state executive committee, by
appointment of Chairman Prentice,
made up of the following: Col. Lafay
cite p. Gleason, Col. George w. Dunn,
William L. Ward. James w. Wads-
worth, Jr., Francis Hendricks, Edwin
A. Merritt, Jr., and Jacob Bremen, rep
resenting Mr.. Woodruff. Everyone at
all familiar with leaders of republican
politics in New York state will recog-
nize these appointees as war horses of
the old guard. The elimination then of
the old guard, which Colonel Roosevelt
made the paramount issue. consists
simply in the removal of one or two
fgureheads. The old guard is still on
duty at the old stand, with Ezra P.
Prentice as chief instead of Timothy l.
Woodruff. OF course. this is practical
politics. and, of course. the colonel is
practical.-Waterbur American.

THE GOVERNMENT RECEIVERS
DAMAGES.

In an action for fire trespass on the
Black Hills national forest brought by
the United States against the Mis-
souri, River & Northwestern railroad,
the jury has awarded damages to the
government not only for the loss of
merchantable timber, but also for the
destruction of unmerchantable young
growth.
This Is regarded by the government
officials as establishing a very i'm
portant precedent. So far as is known
at the United States department of
agriculture, it is the first time that
any court has recognized what forest
ers call the expectation value" of
young growth as furnishingla basis for
the award of damages. The difficulty
in the way of such an award in the
past has been that there was no way
to prove to the satisfaction of the
courts the money value of the loss
suffered
The award in the South Dakota case
followed the presentation of evidence
as to the cost of work in raforesting
which the government is actually do
ing in the Black Hills. The amount
claimed for the young growth burned
was s13 an acre, and the claim under
this item was allowed in full by the
jury. The total amount of damages
claimed was s3.728.s5, of which
s2,s34.45 was for merchandise timber
destroyed or injured by the fire.
1t is recognized by foresters that the
cost of artificial reforestation will not
always furnish a fair basis for esti-
mating the damage to forest reproduc-
ton. Where new growth can be ex-
pected by natural sowing from seed
trees on the ground within a short
time. artificial planting or sowing is
an unnecessarily expensive method. To
meet such cases what are known as
yield tables" are being prepared. BY
the use of these the loss can be shown
in terms of the final crop and the
time necessary to produce it.
Thus, if it is known that ten thou
sand feet of timber per acre can be
cut once in seventy years, it is easy
to calculate the value of the crop
when it is ten years old by discount
ing from it's value when mature.

Is Forced to Praise.

An examination of the winter time
tables of the Boston and Maine railroad
shows the carrying into effect of one
improvement long advocated by the
Post, namely, the running of more and
better trains during the major part of
the year. Many schedules hitherto
unknown at this season have been
adopted, more Sunday trains have been
put on and a general lettering of ia
cilities for travellers has become evil
dent. In all there are twenty four more
trains than last winter, some of them
giving long distance express service.
These changes are, of course, direct
ly attributable to the recent accession
of complete New Haven control, and to
Mr. Mellen and Mr.. Byrnes must be
given due credit. The Post is as ready
to praise commendable work by the
New Haven regime as it is to criticise
those of it's acts that are wrong in
principle and against public interest in
effect.-Boston Post.

Slang

The English language has the great
est vocabulary, the widest range of
expression, the most complete vehicle
of utterance of any other live tongue
in the world Yet it SO happens that
this marvellous language of ours seems
insufficient for the purposes, not only
of the people at large. but for the lit
terateur, the dramatist. the society
man and woman. The average Gull
tured talker uses about 1000 words
of English. He has at his disposal
some $1,000. In his indolent case 1T
is probable that he has never inquir-
ed into the origin or exact meaning
of any word he speaks. Yet there
is not a noun that has not a history,
and, in most instances, a romantic
past. If he is walking today in the
woods and a thin, fine fiber crosses
his face, he brushes it away and calls
it "sossamer' threads. That 'gossa-
mer'' stands for Gods summer; just
as in the German it lis "Marienwanden"
