Teaching Swimming.
From the Troy Record.

In the good days of old the boys all
learned to swim in natures way. Hieing
away to the swimming hole as soon as
they could walk the distance, they took
on their clothes and jumped into shallow
water There they padded after the imi-
tative manner which is general among all
members Of the animal kingdom until
they knew the stroke. Soon after this
some large bully would throw them into
deep water for sport, and they could
swim. Things are different today Boys
in cities find the swimming hole miles
away. A certain timidity Of the water
comes with distance from 1t and the
river is big tub to paddle in. The result
is that boys In the city are growing up
without knowledge of the art which is
such pleasure and a means Of safety.
Some method is necessary to counteract
the changes made by the growth of cities.
The decision of certain men in this city
that public school boys should be afforded
the opportunity to learn the proper way
to disport themselves in the water is one
that will meet the approval Of the COM
munity. The cooperation OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, which alone
has the facilities, was to have been ex-
pected of this splendid institution. Many
cities of America have made swimming
part Of their educational curriculum Here
1t is to be an optional study. There will
be no longer any excuse for ignorance in
this delightful art.

Difference Of Opinion.

1t shocks me when some man that !
fnstinctively admire
Is put up by the critics as target for
their fire.
There never was a person yet in this
great world Of ours
Who didn't get bouquets with thorns con-
cealed amid the flowers.
Though you are sure a man should be
the universal choice
He never gets his glory without some
dissenting voice.
And when some person that I feel con-
WINGED is full of guile
Is mentioned, some one always has q
kind word and smile.
There never was person subject to
these critical attacks
Who had no friendly armor to ward OH
the battle ak.
And so humanity goes on with argument
and fuss,
All vainly striving for one thought that
is unanimous!

Jefferson Day.

The proposed Jefferson day banquet at
Springfield, Mo-, has been Cancelled 1t
Is explained that the invitation to Mayor
Gaynor was misinterpreted by the public,
and this led to endorsements. There
was no thought of launching on the occa-
sion a Gaynor presidential boom, but a
statement to that effect obtained wide
currency. and occasioned some unpleasant
comment. Mayor Gaynor. by the way,
had notified the committee that pressure
of official business would keep him at

The Massachusetts, Overturn.

The returns from the fourteenth Massa-
chusetts district contain what is called
food for reflection And the dish Is for
both sides of the table Was yesterday
shadow cast by an event scheduled for
November? Shall we see repeated on a
national scale then the overturn Just re-
corded on local scale?
1t was an interesting feature of the
race that the democrats were led by a
man fresh from the republican camp, and
the republicans by a man fresh from the
democratic camp. The democratic leader.
as an individual force, was much the
stronger of the two. But, while interest
ing, that was not an important feature.
Something much larger decided the race.
The tariff was the issue. accepted as
such by both sides. Mr.. Foss. who had
left the republican party because of its
recent tariff record, talked nothing but
the tariff while Senator Lodge. who
made the principal speech for the repub-
icans. accepted the gage and championed
the record. The result is democratic
majority of nearly six thousand in a dis
trict which two years ago gave a repub-
lican majority Of over fourteen thousand.
Shall we see this repeated in that dis
state and other states? Is democratic
House by a large majority Indicated? The
tariff will remain the issue wherever the
democrats may choose to invoke it? There
Is no prospect of an early change in or
repeal of the Payne law. Mr.. Foss on the
stun:p told his audiences that his cleo
tion would force the republicans in Con-
gress to get busy at once for change of
some kind in the law. But that was
campaign CUFF Mr.. Foss as q member
OF the House will not strike that much
terror into the souls of his opponents
As to high prices. they have existed for
months and. while they may drop a lit
tie on this thing or that, will continue
high for months to come. Some of them
will still be high in November. Wherever
an audience can be convinced that the
high prices have grown out of the Payne
law. and would be lowered by tariff
for revenue only. the republicans are GER
tain to lose in that locality.
Need we be surprised by this overturn
in republican stronghold? Why so?
Stall not the humble follower indulge
himself when he sees his leader indulging
himself? There is not a republican who
voted for Mr.. Foss yesterday but can
quote republican senators and representa-
tives-several of the representatives from
Massachusetts-in justification of his
course. If the master upstairs can rough
house the party organization, why may
not the man below stairs smash a bit of
furniture also? Like master. like man.

vor OF reorganization Of that chamber
In a manner quite contrary to the hered-
ftery principle upon which 1t was founded
and which has been its distinctive char
acteristic for centuries.
Just how the chamber is to be reorgan-
lied remains to be worked out In prac-
teal detail later. Lord Rosebery has al
ready announced his intention to propose
after Easter further resolutions laying
down broad general principles for the re-
form Of the house of lords. but he would
leave to the government the framing OF
bill for definite plans. There are now GIG
peers. These are of five classes. first.
those who hold their seats by hereditary
right second. those who are created by
the sovereign; third, those who SIT as
peers by virtue OF their office, such as the
English bishops: fourth. Irish peers
elected for life, and. fifth. Scotch peers
elected for the duration of parliament.
In addition to these there are 20 Scotch
and 81 Irish peers who. are not members
Of the house of lords As an indication
Of the necessity of curtailment of the
legislative prerogative of the members OF
the peerage 1t should be noted that yes
terday's vote, dealing with the most
vitality significant question affecting that
body Of parliament since its creation. was
cast by fewer than 200 of the GIG men,
bers. Some of the absentees abstained
from participation in the proceedings be-
cause they personally do not sanction the
proposal while recognizing its urgent ex-
pediency. The majority of the absentees.
however, were of the chronically inactive
class. the elimination Of whom is one OF
the chief objects of the present reform
movement.
1t will be difficult to arrange a system
of peerage representation in parliament
that will insure a satisfaction of the popu-
lar demand for reform and at the same
time avoid a radical departure from the
hereditary principle upon which the upper
chamber of the British parliament Is
founded. This question is apart from the
proposals that have been tentatively
framed by the ministry to curtail the leg
islatiye power of the house Of lords IN
questions OF a financial character. Pre-
mier Asquith has formally announced
that he proposes later to take up this
matter, his delay having been obviously
due to q desire to give the house Of lords
an opportunity to show its recognition OF
the necessity for reorganization.

Belated Honor for Pocahontas.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
1t Is with profound realisation OF this
country's lasting debt to Pocahontas that
we heartily approve Of the proposition to
have her name carved on a tablet in the
hall Of fame. POcahOntas made John Smith
famous, an achievement that was pro-
digious, and 1t is well that the people OF
this country should do something by way
OF showing their appreciation. Whether
the custodians Of the hall OF fame pro-
pose to give the lady's husband recog-
milton by comforting Immortality upon her
as Mrs. Pocahontas Rolfe. or whether she
is to go down to posterity simply as Poca-
hontas. we do not know. However that
may be- we repeat that the movement Is
one which may be cordially Endorsed by
all public-spirited citizens.

The "Let Him Alone" Cry.

Some of the Presidents friends are
moved to say: Let him alone. Dom
bother him with either praise or bfame at
this time. He is working out his prob
lens as well as he can. and Will do all
the better IL unvexed with advice or criti-
cism.'
This is impossible, and would be mad
visabie IL possible. The President is In
everybody's thought, and what he has in
hand is of interest to everybody. He Is
a light set on a hill for everybody to OBJ
serve, and observe 1t everybody does, and
should If 1T shines brightly. those who
so observe say so. II 1t waivers, those who
so observe say so. If it appears to need
trimming those who SO observe say SO.
The press is all the stronger for its
divisions. it's vigilance. and its frankness
What other kind of press is conceivable
In a country where publicity is the cry
and accomplishes so much? 1t has grown
in power since the foundation of the gov
eminent. and will continue to grow as
the government itself does. The more
there is to write about the more writing
will be done: and the more writing. when
well DONE the more readers.
The President is getting a good deal
of profit out of the press, and knows It,
When young man he served in minor
post behind the scenes, and understands
how things are managed there. and what
they mean. He is the last man in high
office likely to be confused by praise, or
panic-stricken by censure. If at times he
appears to kick little, 1t makes, at
most good talk He Is far from being
violently disturbed.
There is profit for him even in those
newspapers which deal largely in SEN
sationalism, and assail him in their COM
ments without rhyme or reason. He
probably has them classed as a famous
British minister had a member Of his
cabinet classed This man had the wild
est notions about everything. and yet
as his "foolometer," and would never de-
until the "foolometer" had spoken. He
wanted to know how policies would strike
even the fools in the realm
So there is a certain instruction for
the President even in the TRADES Of
those newspapers which stand for the
daily sensati0n-for the thrill in every
line-and not for carefully winnowed
news and conservative comment on It,.
He may gather from their columns what
inventions are afoat, and what exagger-
atoms are circulating in attempted in
jury of his administration. Such informa-
ton has value for an official who should
know what ~ going on politically In all
circles in the country.
Let the President alone? He does not
ask 1t, and his best friends would de-
plore it, He knew what was coming
when he entered the White House, and
the volume OF censure from his oppo-
nents, whose weapon is censure, is not
greater than he might have expected.

The Reform of the Lords.

Evidently the peers of England are not
disposed to challenge the reform spirit of
the period and refuse to move in the d.
rection OF a modern readjustment of the
relations between the hereditary legis-
la ors and the direct representatives of

10, lis agreed In general terms that reform
and reconstruction are necessary in the

resolution was then proposed: That q
necessary preliminary TO such reform and
reeai s.itution is acceptance of the prin-
ciple that possession of peerage should
