THE TOWNSHIP TEACHERS.

On March %, the township teachers
with Mrs. c. F. hollenbeck as chap.
eron, went to st. Mary's college at
Monroe, Mich. The day was spent
in visiting the buildings, inspecting
the library and museums. The off.
cials and seniors spared no pains in
making the day profitable one. De-
lay in leaving Toledo in the morning
caused the party to miss seeing the
pupils of the institution in class work
which was the prime object of the
visit.
The board of education granted this
opportunity of visiting through the
request of Mr.. John Pope, the presi-
dent, who believes that much can be
gained for Perrysburg township by
its teachers seeing how other insti-
tutions do their educative work.
The teachers have only words of
praise and appreciation for the cour-
tesies shown them while at the col
lege and for Mrs. C. F. Hollenbeck,
who so kindly looked out for their
comfort and pleasure.

graph, to say nothing of flying ma
chimes, have put the equine racer
hors de combat. Mr.. Belmont com.
plains that the "hypocrites" have re.
fused to recognize the great good rae
ing was accomplishing for the i'm
provement of the breed of horses.
1t is only sporting men of the Belmont
character that claim that racing does
any good for the improvement of the
breed. 1t doubtless improves a
breed-but what kind of breed?
Horses doubtless will long be used for
the saddle, for draft on the roads
and on farms, or for pleasure, but it
is astonishing to see the extent to
which motor vehicles have in very
short time taken the place of horses.
Mr.. Belmont has announced that he
will ship to Great Britain four of his
best two-year-old colts. Well, let them
go with their Jockeys and their black
leg encourage. Farmers and breeders
are importing Clydesdale, Norman
and Percheron horses, which are far
better.

The Jockey Club of New York and
the sporting gentry all over the coun-
try are very bitter against the "hypo.
critics" who have been SO successfully
legislating against horse racing. The
breeding of race horses in America
has been doubtless given stagger-
Ing blow-but what of it? The race
horse is the least useful of the equine

rier, all hot sand and ginger" unfit
for the saddle, unless it is the saddle

for nothing but gambling. If crossed
with cold blooded horse of good bone
and size, a good saddle or carriage
horse may be obtained, but there is
no longer any demand for the

In war. The telephone or wireless

The first step of the extra session
OF Congress will be to pass the Can
ada reciprocity bill, and the second
step will be, it is said, to materially
reduce the tariff on wool and woolen
goods. If this can be accomplished,
the western Senator who has been
called the greatest shepherd since
Abraham will lose million or two
dollars, but ninety millions of Ameri-
cans will wear more elegant and

1t appears that the distinguished
military experts of France and Ger.
many are strenuously at work to
show that the United States and
Japan must fight The argument of
the German expert is that the control
OF the Pacific is essential to the COM
mercial existence of Japan, and that
in order to maintain this supremacy
Japan must have the control of Guam
and Hawaii as coaling stations and
bases of supply. But can Japan con-
troll the Pacific? Will not England,
Germany, France, Russia and other
European powers have something to
say with reference to the control of
the Pacific? Great Britain is easily
five times as powerful on the sea as
Japan, and yet she does not pretend
to control the Atlantic or even the
Mediterranean, of which she holds
both the gates Suez and Gibraltar. The
Mediterranean is an open sea. Japan
Soh hOI COuITOl Iu6 racine. III
Is doubtful if she could control the
inland sea of Japan, to say nothing
of the Yellow Sea, the sea of China,
and other contiguous waters. The
Pacific Is by odds the biggest of
oceans, and no nation or nations can
control it. The same writer argues
that the United States has only twen-
ty-three war ships in the Pacific, while
Japan has 125. He is mistaken.
Japan has 125 thousand, but they are
mostly san pans, kind of fishing
boat carrying two or three persons
with tail oar. The Japanese will
have and ought to have much to do
with the navigation of the Pacific,
for they are unexcelled as sailors and
can conduct carrying trade at less
than half the cost of any American
or European country; but the talk of
any one nation controlling the Pacific
Is as extravagant as it would be to
talk of controlling the ether
