Many Fatalities Attended
Bombardment of Sumter

Although the confederate authorities
have all along claimed that no casual

Sumter. one of the Charleston volun-
teers who participated In the engage
ment, and who has just arrived at New
York, says that at least 150 men were
killed and wounded in the battery on
Morris island by the canister thrown
into the trenches by Major Anderson.
He had occasion to be at Fort, John
ston just before he left Charleston, and
there he learned that 80 msn were killed
during the bombardment

tuberculosis to Disappear.

tuberculosis is diminishing in amount
the world over. and it is predicted that in
IS or so years it will have quite disappear
ed. The decrease of diminution is differ
ent in different countries, plainly indicat-
ing that the decrease is one of habit and
life The reduction of the malady is one
of the strongest supports Of the sentiment
of optimism, for it indicates the increase
of cleaner and nobler living.
The personal habit in respect to So
briefly. purity, courage. integrity, unset
fishness is hurting tuberculosis and all
other maladies everywhere AS the world
advances in virtue and honor its distemp-
ers begin TO grow less. This doctrine
was announced by John Burns. the labor
leader in Parliament, and ifhis philosophy
and fact agree, we all have reason to re-
joice.
There is to be another consideration
added to this, which is, that the same i'm
proved living that reduces tuberculosis
will reduce our social and political mala
dies as we'll If bad habits make disease,
they also make bad thoughts. We are so
accustomed in all these things, to hitch
the cart before the horse, that we insist

Domestic Science Training.

A movement is we'll under way in Ger
many to force all the girls to do domestic
service for a term Of years. Just as the
young men are required to serve in the
army. There is no reason why a pater-
nal government should not look out for
its daughters as we'll as its sons. and an
army OF trained housekeepers would do a
lot more real good IN the world than an
army of trained soldiers.
A similar appreciation of the import
ance of good housekeeping is reflected in
bill now before Congress to establish a
domestic science bureau in connection
with the Department Of Agriculture and
to require that the subject be taught in all
the public schools. Many Of our girls
colleges and coeducational institutions
now offer domestic science courses and
much attention is given this branch OF
training by settlement workers
The widespread recognition of the need
of better housekeeping is an encouraging
sign Of the times. for good housekeeping
is very often the basis Of good homemak-
ing. Go ahead. girls. and learn all YOU
can about it. but don't forget that the

Saving and Spending.

In connection with the establishment
of savings banks in schools Boston
school principal with practical ideas,
maintains that instead of adding to the
number of institutions designed to teach
pupils how TO save, the State ought TO
give instructions how to spend Granted
that sense of saving is a good thing,
it must be admitted that a system OF
spending should be instilled; otherwise
the savings might quickl, be wasted.
To teach child how to save $40 in a
toy bank, only perhaps to spend it fool
lshly later on, avals but very little.
Both saving and proper spending are
necessary to proper understanding of
getting along in life.
Thrift implies not only saving quality
but an ability to hold THAT which one
acquires by saving. There is homely
old saying among the old-faShioned Ger
mans that any fool knows how to make
money, and even how to save it. but it
takes shrewd man to know how to
spend it properly In this sense the

Census Statisti cs Show Trend to

More than half OF the population of
Maryland is urban and Just fraction less
than half of the people Of the State live
in the rural districts. according to a
statement issued by the Federal Census
Bureau, showing the extent to which
the people are fiocking into the cities of
the United Slater.
Twenty Years ago only 476 per cent.
of the people of Maryland lived in the
cities and towns of the State. Ten
years ago the urban population had in.
creased to 4qS per cent. The census
of 1910 shows further incre ase to &C. s.
per cent
Maryland's population is 1905. ,46.
The bulletin shows that 6sS. Io2 of this
total live in the urban centers and s37. I5A
in the rural districts. The increase Of
urban population in the past 10 years
was per cent. while the rural popula-
ton increased only ~ per cent.

Importance of Leaders.

The educational aristocrats would say
that ANYHOW the best men alone count,
Just as the achievements of nation in the
history of civilization are counted by the
performances of the geniuses They
would say that little land like Norway
Is great because it has had an lbsen and
Greg and a Bjornson, and so on. and a
large land like Canada has still to wait for
greatness because no genius has yet ap-
peared there. But the educational demo-
crat, who sees the goal in the highest de-
velopment of the masses, would misun-
derstand the sociological laws if he were
to care less for the greatest possible
chances ofthe superior men. The masses,
too. are always raised only by their
leaders. Hugo JLusfe,5erg. in Metro

To Save 10000. 900.

Radical readjustment of the methods
of computing the pay of railways for
Transporting the mails which will effect
900. 600 is recommended to Congress
by Postmaster General Hitchcock.
Mr.. Hitchcock proposes TO effect such
saving by paying the railroads on the
basis of cost, with 6 per cent profit.
The plan provides that all railways shall
report annually to the Postmaster Gen
eral the expenses incurred in carrying
the mails in order that the department
may determine the cost to the railways
and fair rate of profit.
The method of fixing railway mail pay
in accordance with weight has proved to
be very expensive and unsatisfactory.
and it is proposed to abandon it en-
tirelv, says Mr. Hitchcock. He sug-
gests the substitution of the method of
fixing compensation in accordance with
the amount of space required in cars for
the distribution and the carriage of the
mails, making proper allowance for the
extent and frequency of the service per-
formed
Mr. Hitchcock sends to Congress with
his report, which was made in response
10 an act passed in 1909. draft of bill
which, if enacted, would carry the new
plan into effect. He urgently recon-
mends its passage. The Postmaster
Generals recommendations are based
on the investigation made by committee
from his department
The investigation upon which Post
master General Hitchcock based his
recommendations showed that as a
whole the railway companies transport
ing government mails are doing so at
substantial profit. The committee
officials which made the inquiry reported
that e5 per cent. Of the mail roads gave
detailed statistics of their operations.

Smaller Faculties.

All our higher institutions of learning
are over manned. and however much they
try to enlarge the staff and to create new

IF the purpose of the Democrats in
Congress were merely the making of
record on which they could make cam
paign they could do no better than to re-
fuse any concession in conference on the
Wool Tariff bill as ii passed the House.
In meeting the Republican Insurgent in
the Senate more than half way, however,
and compromising on 90 per cent. ad
valorem rate on raw wool, instead of in
sisting on the House bill rate of 20 per
cent, the Democrats evince a desire to
give consumers some immediate relief
from the Payne- Aldrich tariff burden. In
cidentally. it Is demonstrated that the
tariff reduction policy of even the most
radical Insurgents in Congress is far from
being as progressive as they would have
the people believe. The faint OF grating
Protectionism is still upon the Insurgents.
1t would be very difficult for the Presi-
dent TO find reasons for vetoing a Compro-
mise Wool Tariff Bill which makes such
moderate reductions from the present adj
mittedly exorbitant and unfairly discrim-
mating rates.

OF local self government, because their
local government contains some one
provision that the President may think
that is wrong, or that the Pres
ident does not approve OF. This is
the vital principle that this veto violates.
The President by signing the bill did
not endorse that feature, for he could
easily have said that he was opposed
to it, but thought that it was question
for the people of Arizona, and not for
him. Mr.. Taft has been Judge and
is saturated possibly with the dogma
OF the claim of the night OF the judges
to be considered immaculate.
The weak spot in our system of gov
eminent is in our judiciary. Every other
department is strictly limited, and this
is painfully in need of limitation as to
the branches of its power.
Its power in contempt proceedings
must be defined and limited, and judicial
discretion. often a fearful nuisance. is a
power so dangerous that both as to
State and Federal judges, ought TO be
most strictly and clearly defined and
limited The case of Federal Judge
