There is now every indication that
Second street in Perrysburg will be
paved this season, and there is rea-
son for every resident of the village
to rejoice over this evidence of pro-
gress on the part of the citizens along
that street, and the wisdom displayed
by the council in pushing the work
OF paving as rapidly as possible 1t
is certainly to be hoped that no per-
sonal prejudice or mistaken notions
Of false economy will be permitted to
delay the work. The people of the
street and the entire town want that
improvement, and there should be no
hindrance to the granting of their
petition.

Men make considerable fun OF
women for sticking so close to fash

more censure for that reason than
are the men. 1t is almost a certain

Smoking Before Meals.

People will persist in smoking, even
after they have read the following
from that eminent authority. the Lon
don Lancet:
Smoking just before meals is to be
deprecated. because the pungency OF
the pyroligneus products contained in
tobacco smoke renders the buccal mu
cosa insensitive to allmentary stimula
tion. In fact, the effect is TO dull or
abolish the olfacto-gustatory reflex
thus depriving us of what Pawlow
calls appetite juice"

WASHINGTON LETTER.

During the session of congress
which has just closed, there was in
cessant oratorical strife between the
jingoists who sighted or imagined
wars horrid front across the Pacific.
and the peace prophets who predict
ed an era of calm with such sponsors
as the Hague Tribunal and the Car
neg1e Peace Fund. The war heralds.
OF whom Congressman Hobson is the
arcli-type, believe that we are on the
verge of war with Japan, and Hon.
Hobson even predicts that it will be
precipitated before another year.
These who pipe the time of peace
insist that this arranged war scare
is mainly in the interest of contrac-
tors, the builders of warships and
Notifications, and the purveyors of
munitions of war.
Congress had barely adjourned
when an army of twenty thousand
men was assembled on the Mexican
border for what exact purpose the
administration has not said. During
the session representative orators
were slurring the army and magnify
ing our defenseless condition. 1t was
given out that Japan could land a
quarter of million of soldiers on
the Pacific coast before we could get
ten thousand there. Well, in less
than week we have assembled
completely equipped army of twenty
thousand men more than half way on
its journey to the Pacific slope, and
there is no doubt that with the lines
of railroad at our disposal we can in
two weeks or less time place forty
thousand men in position to defend
the three or four sensitive points of
attack on our western litoral
The prevailing opinion at present
is that the military demonstration
of the Rio Grande is for a purpose
somewhat similar to that which pre-
cipitated the war with Spain. We
can no more tolerate the perpetuation
of geurilla war in one Spanish coun-
try than in another on our borders
The benign despotism that has for
twenty-five years or more masquer-
AIDED as a republic in Mexico and
which has depended on one man can
not in the natural order much long
er depend. Diazs strong hand has
plainly lost it's grip. The central
government is nerveless. Mexico is
nearer to us than Cuba, as near to
us, in fact, as Canada. We have in
terests in that country amounting to
nearly two billions of dollars. The
Rio Grande is a good place strategic
ally for the army. The time must
come when we will be able to send an
army from Laredo, Eagles Pass or
Ell Paso by train direct to the ribbon
strip that we own as Panama. Call
it manifest Destiny" or what you
will, there is no getting around the
fact that North America, including
Canada with Great Britain behind
her, must protect for her own safety
and for the benefit of each and all,
the Western Hemisphere.
The travelling expenses of govern
ment officers and employees last year
amounted to twelve millions of dol
lars, and President Taft has just sent
a letter to the Secretary of the Treas
ury asking him to send to the econ
omy commission all travel records for
the last fiscal year for the purpose of
tabulation and revision with a view
to reduction and economy.

BOYS SHOULD FIGHT
In the Opinion of County
>Supt. Williams.

County superintendent of Instruc-
ton G. o. Williams approves of boy
fights, and men teachers.
Though his appreciation is given
with certain qualifications. he never
theless believes that scrapping is as
essential in some respects to the edu-
cation of the lad as is his long period
of association, with school text books.
Therefore the county superintendent
says that personally he wants his chill
dren to brush APP against men teachers.
Apparently, at first blush. there Is no
connection between fist fights and men
teachers, but the superintendent ex-
plants that a man has more sympathy
for a lad who has been in a scrap than
a woman has. He says a woman will
get the offending boys on either side
of her, perhaps cuff their ears, and
then proceed to tell them what an aw
full thing fighting is.
1t was in discussion Of the subject
shoul teach in the public schools that
the superintendent brought out "a few
points in regard to boy fights, which
on the whole met with theapproval OF
Center township trustee Harris. Both
agreed that women teachers were jus,
as essential to the success of the
schools as were men, but the ,superin
tendent was inclined to believe that
after boys became of the age of twelve
years they were more apt to beneAt tc
a greater extent under the instruc
tons of men than women, because al
this period the character of the boy
begins to develop.
