PRAISE FOE YOUNG THEODORE.

II HEODORE ROOSEVELT, Jr, son of the
l. former President, is coming in for many
words of commentator. Some people have
evidently thought that Junior might have inner
tied the liking for the sensational that de-
lights his father. They would not have been
surprised had extraordinary romance surrounded
his venture into the realms of Cupid. 1t is not
Theodore but Tip" Knox son of the sedatc
Secretary of State who performs the sensational
matrimonial "stunt."
Young Theodore has gone about it in the right
manner The approval of mamma was obtained
and papa is delighted, and so is Theodore, Jr.,
and the bride-to-be. Everything is agreeable
it should be.
The eyes of the nation have been on young
Theodore. The son of a prominent man always
is placed in trying position, but Theodore is
making good.' After finishing his education
he started in life not the son of a President
but as a plain, sensible young American. He has
gone along in an unobtrusive manner and thous-
ands of home-oving and boy-lovng folk have
nothing but admiration for him. There are
many boys OF his type among the wealthy.
Theodore's parents have reason to feel proud
of him as level-headed young man. Papa Knox
in time will forgive young Zip and make the
best of the situation but the plan of the young
Theodore is the best for any young fellow. Ro-
nance that surrounds snap weddings often fades
away in short order before the cold realities of
everyday life.
There are and always will be many young folk
who think they know more than their "daddes,'
and seek not their counsel, but when they be-
come older they realize that in nine cases out Of
ten the advice of the parents is correct and the
best to follow. The parents have been trained
III the school of experience. And that is the best
school.

A CONFLICT OF OPINION.

IT HE mystery of the $4,000 which the Sun
u day Star declares was sent to this state
for campaign purposes thirteen years ago, and
which our neighbor alleges fell into the hands of
perennial candidate for United States Senator
still persists, although the Gold Democratic or
gan of this city calls upon our neighbor to state
the facts in the and cease its insnuations
We presume, therefore, that the Star will come
forward with a full version of the affair, other
wise 1t may be open to suspicion that it is seek
ing TO. attack certain Democrat from ambush
with the hope of driving him out of the Demo-
cratic for Senator should he still have aspir-
ations in that direction.
There appears to be conflict Of opinion be-
tween the two veteran and able editors,
and we confess that in such struggle we must
humby occupy the position of the cat that IS
privileged to look at the king Our only interest
has been because OF the uncommon oddity Of
the story revived by the Star at this time The
story so far as newspapers are concerned seems
to be Methuselah-like, but it has proved to be
an interesting bit of gossip Then we gathered
from our neighbor's inferences that the Gold
Democrats now that they are in the saddle in
Delaware and the old Bryan Democrats have
either disappeared are running along behind,
might be tempted to use money during
the next campaign but the Star thinks this is a
false idea, as it puts the entire matter up to one
man--the perennial candidate
The fact that a stranger with satchel created
so much talk and commotion causes us to fear
that if the subject is still agitated every stranger
who comes to these parts during the next cam
paign carrying a satchel may be suspected OF
having money for the Democrats.
1t seems that the editor of the Gold Demo-
cratic paper had knowledge of the mysterious
man and his visit and his satchel which contained
according TO his version, $1,000 This sum was
given not to any candidate for Senator, but to a
gentleman who was then member of the State
Committee but who has since died We trust
the matter will not be dropped in its present
stage.

NOW. father said this is no disparage-
ment whatever of general Lee He had
the highest admiration of Lees qualities
as soldier and Of the purity of his char
acter. But he had become satisfied from
his study Of the career OF the Army Of
the Potomac than an unreasonable fear
had seized It. due to the very high re-
pute of General Lee as a soldier. In addi-
ton, he believed that the Army Of the
Potomac had no more reason to fear
General Lee than the armies of the West
had reason to stand in dread of the great
commanders who led the Confederate
forces in that section Of the country; so
that before he had left the West to be-

for the Army of the Potomac was to teach
It no longer TO fear Bobby Lee And you

MEDIcAL EXAMINATIONS.

G oME persons are much disturbed by the
~ medical examination of school children, but
it seems to Us that their fears are groundless
Such examinations viii not be conducted in
other than sensible manner. There should be
no public inspection of children, no parading of
any defects that they may have and no desire TO
humilate the children or their parents. 1t is not
the intention 10 make parade or show of the mat
ter, but to have sensible inspection that will aid
in remedying defects and in assisting the child
rem and parents.
Inspections are made in other cities and there
is no valid reason why the same course should
not be followed in Wilmington. Superintendent
Tvtmyer, Dr. Shortlidge and others vtay in
terested in the welfare of the school children
have long favored such examinations and declare
they are necessary if the best is to be got out OF
our educational system. The recent report Of
the county schools made by Superintendent
Spaid showed an alarming number of defective
children. Mr.. Spaids testimony is thus added
70 that Of our city educational authorities.
The success of the new method will depend
upon the manner in which the inspections are
conductedbut If the ordinary amount of common
sense is employed by those in charge we do not
believe there will be any reason for serious COM

CoNDEMNs THE SYSTEM.

~ HE financial trouble of the city-the big
\ defcit-seems TO be regarded by the
Democratic paper as case Of the pot and the
kettle, due TO the system of partisan administra-
ton of the affairs of the city, OF course the late
Republican administration is condemned by it
for gross financial mismanagement," and in the
same breath 1t declaEes that the present Demo
cratic administration awarded contracts for
making needed repairs to the city tax office in
'an unlawful and reprehensible manner" but
this was as "a drop in the bucket" By the time
the present Democratic administration has ended
fancy that the Democratic drops will fill
TO overhowing the bucket
From all that has been said by its defenders,
we gather that SO far as managing the affairs of
the city IN a buSlneSs-like manner is concerned,
the present Democratic administration has been
a disappointment to those who had high hopes
that the promises of the Democrats during the
campaign would be fulfilled. The same disap-
pointment has now and then cropped ont with
reference to the Democratic Levy Court of Kent
The hopes of the Democrats have been shattered
In that their own administration has not so far
proved TO be an advance over that of the Repub-
hcans. The Democrats find that one of their
guns which they hoped to use during the coming
campaign has been spiked.
So far as the city government is concerned It
IS case OF trying to make pint of revenue fill
a quart measure of expenses. There is always
shortage, deficit Under the present system
there is not sufficient money TO meet the expenses
and mere juggling with figures does not relieve
the situation. The Democrats will hesitate to
increase the tax rate and we presume will drift
along trying to make both ends meet, something
that seems to be impossible
Out of all the discussion and the playing for
advantage the one point that stands out clear ia
that our city administration needs an overhaul
ing Other cities have met this question in a
frm manner and have adapted their machinery
OF government to the growing needs of the city.
So far public sentiment in this matter is ex-
pressed it seems to be all one way, and we shall
expect to see at the next legislature a deter
mined effort to provide charter which shall meet
the real and busness-like demands of the city.
Some OF our state towns have not the troubles
that we complain Of: they boast of the economical
management Wilmington should certainly be
able to do as well they do.

HEAR LECTURE
ON 9TH C lERAY''
Prof. AXSOn e erS Last of
Series Of C5ntury Club
Lectures

Reasons why the works OF recent writ
ers are not the equal of the works Of the
standard novels s." were given by Pro-
fessor Stockton Axson, of Princeton Uni
yersity, In his concluding lecture before
the NewCentury Club yesterday after
noon. He said the modern short story
has harmed the novel. The recent novels
are, like the short story, founded on
single striking episode of life, only treated
at greater length. The strength and pecu-
liar opportunity Of the novel is in its por-
trayal of the gradual development Of
human character, therein lies its chief
value, and this is lost in the recent works.
Then, too modern writer's rarely create
more than a dozen live characters in
book, so that they lack the strength Of
novelist like Dickens who could marshal
sixty OF seventy living creatures on one
Stage. Interest, .cleverness, and beauty
OF writing the modern books have in album
dance but since they lack these essential
elements they are weak. Professor Axon
thought that one of the great interests Of
the Woman's ub as a permanent insti-
tuition OF modern times should be the con-
servation of literature. From his wide ex-
perience as teacher, he spoke with
knowledge when he said It was shocking
how many young people grew up in lit
erary ignorance, young people who came
from families where culture would seem
a matter Of course.
Professor Axson talked upon "Thack-
cray" He said he wondered what would
have Sappened to Thacleray in a modern
course Of English in college, for Thack-
cray broke all the ru es of composition re-
peatedly, and his themes wou d have been
handed back blue-pencilled all over. He
never stuck to the point, but went on in
a. chatty conversational way, not quite
sure himself how he was going to come
out. He did not put the emphatic ideas
where they log'ca ly belonged and vet
the best part Of Thaokeray would be miss
ing if his writings were made to conform
TO the ru es. Then, too. Thackeray tried
70 write as things seemed to him rather
than as they ought to be. In consequence
fhe bad people often ended up as happilv
as the good ones, instead of the Dickens
day of rewarding virtue and Furnishing
the vi lain. Moreover Thackeray s bad
people did lots of good in the world. VIII ch

PIaint Of the unpopuIar.

It Is Sc dom guessed by an undiecern-
ing public concerning men OF prominence
who are distant and reserved in manner
or by equa ly ucomprehend acqualnt-
ances OF seemingly cold and unresponsive
persons in private life that these men and
women often yearn exceedingly for the
appreciation and friendship of their fellow
creatures and that with all their poise
an. show OF Indifference their inab lity to
win popu'a arity and to gain affection Is
source OF secret bitterness and regret. Yet
that they do so long for appreciation is
cons antly being betrayed In one way OF
another by individuals Of the class. and Il
may be taken as a truth that there are no

The Strawberry Zone.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
Even before the grounding makes his
weather forecast and whio the snow7 and
blows of real winter are in active per-
formance there are harbingers Of tho
spring that is coming owly up this
way" From somewhere down southwark,
perhaps from the lower end OF Florida,
strawberries, cucumbers, radlshes ripe to-
matoes, fresh peas and other garden deli
cacies begin to reach the Baltimore mar
ket before the end Of January. By the
end OF February the supply of fresh
kitchen garden stuff is equal to the de-
mand-that is, the demand at the prices
charged From now until the middle of
August those able and willing to pay the
price can have strawberries for dessert
There is nothing that marks the prog
ress northward of hot-breathed summer
with such recording exactness as the rip
ened strawberry. 1t begins TO take on
an inviting flush down about Miami or
West Palm Beach before the middle Of
January. Gradua ~ but surely this straw
berry flush travels northward at the end
OF six weeks crossing the f orida bound
airy into Georgia. and so on upward
through lnt AalOllllds anu NA 2 ma AvuNAl-
ing Southern Maryland and the lower
Eastern Shore early in May. progressing
thence due northward to Anne Arundel,
little later crossing the Maryland border
into Pennsylvania, and so on and on until
the Canadian border is crossed about the
list of August.
An automobile traveller, II only the
roads were good al the way from top to
bottom, might leave Miami the midd e Of
January after partaking Of freshly picked
strawberry, and. travelling northward by
slow stages up to the Hudson Bav region,
have fresh picked strawberries every day
from the middle OF January to the middle
Of September. But in this accommodating
age we need not follow the blush OF the
berry. The ripened fruit is brought up to
us from Florida in January and down TO
us from Canada in September. The straw
berrv zone. n fact extends from the
Equator almost TO the Arctics.
