Ancient Greek Trainina.

The manner in which the Athenians brought up their children is worth re- membering. At seven years of age the Athenian lad entered the palestra, which was essentially a playground All the first and better half of the day was spent in gymnastics, dancing. games and play. In the afternoon there were singing, some writing, some reading, all in the open air. and then came long period of play again. Such was the schooling of the Greek lad up to the age of ten or eleven, and it did not differ essentially up to the age of sixteen, except in the severity of the exercises. And yet the world has not ceased to marvel at the results of the Greek education. 1t produced the highest type of man. physically and Intellectually, that the world has ever seen. which Galton says was as far in advance of the modern Englishman as the modern Englishman is in advance of the native African. In physical beauty, courage and patriotism, in philosophy. literature, architecture and art, the Greeks have been the unsur- passed models of the ages and are still the inspiration of our schools today. But they placed the emphasis upon hygiene, exercise. games and play. which are too much neglected in these days.-Kansas City Star.

and works every day at his bench in Griffin's hat factory. For many years he has been identified with the United Hatters' of North America, that or ganization which has perhaps done more than any trades union in the country in fighting for the uplift and recognition of the wage earners. He is also a member of Court Marina of the Foresters of America and of the Shepherds of Bethlehem.
 Possessed of a pleasing personality he is making great strides in this campaign by a personal canvas among the electors of his district.
 MT. Paddock is thoroughly conver- sant with the issues of the day and a vote for him is a vote in favor of the passage of real Employers Lia- bility act, a public utilities bill with teeth in it and the removal of the $5,0O0 limit for loss of life, in dam age cases. All indications point to MT. Paddock's election by a hand some majority. Let the Democratic voters stand loyalty by him and there will be no doubt of the result for he will receive the votes of hundreds of Republican workingmen.

Geographical Knowledge In 14e2.


 But very little was known in regard to the extent of the world in Aris- totle's day, in the fourth century be- fore Christ. and but very little more was known about it 1900 years later. in the time of Columbus. In 2OOO years the world had in reality retro graded rather than advanced. It was the popular belief in the time of Co- lumbus that the world was flat, though many contemporary scholars thought differently. The great civilizations of the world at that time were grouped around the Mediterranean sea. al- though England was a considerable power and the Scandinavians were a great maritime people. But Europeans at that time knew but little of Asia and but little of Africa, and America, of course. was undreamed of. Even after Columbus had discovered the lat ter continent be was perfectly oblivi- ous of the fact. He thought Haiti was Cipango or Japan and for a long time regarded Cuba as part of the mafn- land of Asia.

FOX LETS CAT
 OUT OF BAG Father of Corrupt Practices Act Gives One Case He Placed Before HartfOrd's State Alt tOrney
WHAT ATTY HULL TOLD HIM
John J. IawIess the Man Who Is Alleged to Have Been Offered
 Present"

Following up his declaration that he had placed before States Attorney Alcorn, of Hartford, certain evidence State Convention in Hartford, George L. Fox of New Haven has given out the following statement.
 New Haven, Conn, Oct. 31, 1910.
 MT. Alcorn in his defense of his ac- tion with regard to my complaints reported in the Hartford Times is not just and fair to me. l have never asked him to prosecute on the evidence I have submitted. I have simply ask of alleged bribery, and if the facts warranted it, to arrest and prosecute the guilty parties to the full extent of the law. That is the way he does in other eases, and it is the way he should do now. If other States At torneys willingly comply with my re- quests, see no reason why he should not do so In order that the pub- lie may see whether he has done his duty, I propose to state in full the first case which I brought before him and asked him to investigate thor oughly.
 States Attorney Hull of New Lon- don county gave me these facts with the understanding that I was to com- municate them to MT. Alcorn. MT. John J. Lawless said to MT. Hull in my presence over the telephone that three times at Hartford a man nam ed Borrows of Deep River, delegate to the convention from Saybrook, said to him "If you will change your vote from Lake to Goodwin, there will be a handsome present for you" These facts were communicated to MT. AL corn in letter written me Sunday night, Oct. g, yet he has taken no steps in the matter.
 I have assured MT. Alcorn that MT. Hull says that MT. Lawless, who is a lawyer of the best standing in New London will testify in court to what he has said to MT. Hull, but that does not seem to affect MT. Alcorn.
 If this is not evidence warranting investigation, then I do not know what is. I have simply asked MT. Al corn to investigate secretly in any way that he pleases the alleged of lenses which I bring to him. but l have never had a single line from him in reply. In my first interview with him I urged him to make use of the method of investigation provided in chapter 1881 of the Revised Statutes, but he would not do so.

Hon. A. Lincoln Dryden, OF Somer-

closed the meeting with a brief but
iorcible speech, pleading the fatigue of
hard canvas for not talking at length

ment OF the issues OF the contest rem
dered needless. Mr.. Dryden said the
Democrats proposed to lower the bar
riers and let the people buy in the
cheapest markets, while the Republi-
cans proposed to give the people the
best market for their products. He
said he believed in free trade between
the forty-six States OF the Union and
would favor it with other nations when
they had the same scale of wages as
prevailed here. "But so long as there
is a difference in wage scales, so long
must we, il we look to the public veal,
insist that the tariff be laid with re-
gard to the difference" He did not
propose that American labor should
compete with that abroad paid, in
some instances 10 cents day. Nor
would he put American homes in COM
petition with foreign huts and hovels.
He favored neither high tariff nor
low tariff, but such a tariff as would
raise the 10 cents day laborer to the
level OF the American laborer. He did
not know how to frame altarff bill nor
did anybody in Easton, but whatever
reductions or incomes the Tariff Com
mission should favor, after due and
honest inquiry, he would support. If

PROTECTION, THE PILLAk
OF PEOPLES PROSPERITY
Republicans At Rally Hear Campaign IssS Ably
Discussed By Messrs. Dryden And Sclfn

The Republican mass meeting in Me-
chanics Hall, Elkton, on Tuesday even
ing was we'll attended and the Elkton
Band played at intervals during the
evening. H. M. Mccullough. ESQ.,, OF
the State Central Committee, opened
the meeting with brief speech, urg-
ing activity on the part of voters and
that the full party strength be polled.
If voters went to sleep now, they might
wake up in 1912 to face prosperity
oil the kind experienced from 1892 to
1897. After few remarks upon the
value OF the Republican policy of pro-
lection to home industries and show
ing comparative wages n 'o6 and at
present, the latter largely increased,
Mr. Mccullough introduced as the iii st
speaker Hon. Charles X. Schirm, for
mer member OF Congress from the
Fourth Baltimore City, district
Mr.. Schirm gave mastery review
of tariff legislation from the first to
the last bill passed, showing that pros
perity almost invariably followed
those levied for protection as we'll as
revenue and depression or hard Il
those laid mainly for revenue. One
exception was the low Walker tariff
of 1876, which was helped out by the
gold discoveries in California and Aus
tralia and European demand for our
farm products, caused by several wars
there prevailing, but after eleven years
there came the panic of 81 with the
hard times that followed The other
exception was the Morrill, Protective
tariff of 1861, under which we had the
panic of 70, but that was due mainly to
over-production caused by the rapid
increase in the use of labor saving ma
chimes and processes. Since that time
the experience OF the American people
vindicated the wisdom and value OF
Protection Only twice in the last fifty
years was the Republican party out OF
power, and during the last period, fol-
lowing 'o2, our people had an object
lesson in Hard Times"
The Democratic party every two
years was set the task of finding a
issue upon which to get the better of
the progressive Republicans and was
now trying again that OF Tariff Re-
form" Its statesmen were not united
on the question of protection Sena-
tor Rayner says protection is uncon-
stitutional. Senator Smith voted for
protection on lumber, and other De-
mocratic Senators for protection on
other products. A Democratic Con-
gress could do nothing toward building
up the country and would only hinder
President Taft, and while its election
might be Democratic logic it would
be Republican ingratitude, to one of
the greatest Presidents that ever sat
