Buying clothes for the boy is not the
easiest matter in the world If he is a
healthy, growing youngster with the natu-
raj boys love for roughing it, his clothes

of much hard usage and at the same time
combine a certain amount OF style and
good looks. We have solved the problem
in these boys suits, made OF long wearing
materials in dark and light mixtures. As

life, are physically superior to men

sist disease.
Figures taken from the United
States Census returns show that for
every 25-year period from birth up TO
20 years OF age, the death rate Is
much greater among males than
females" From 20 to so the death
rate is about equal. But from so to

are two women to one man. And
"after 100 the proportion is still

The Interesting conclusion is reach

and from masculine excesses, there
are good reasons for believing thai

WARDEN CRAWFORD.

A s A RESULT of criticisms OF the worSnouse
n nv Mr.. Sinclair and others an impression
nrevails among many that Warden Crawford is in
fault but we gather no such idea. The criticisms
of the actual management by the warden are no
more severe than Sinclair could make Of any other
institution or even business concern in the city
AS TO the kind of food supplied there has been
for some time much criticism, and very grave
doubts have been expressed as to whether II Is OF
the kind to sustain men properly
The mere fact that the cost Of the food aver
ages nine cents day for each prisoner should
tell the tale Years ago when some of our large
fruit growers used 10 board berry pickers. a very
low rate OF board charged not for profit but
merely TO furnish food at cost The price of food
supplies was then much less than now but the
price of board to these pickers in barracks was
considerably higher than nine cents day.
Although Mr. Sinclair has criticised the food, it
3 we'll 10 remember that Brown did not join in
that criticism. In addition the Ardenites who we're
confined with Sinclair sent letters 10 the Warden
thanking him for the treatment they obtained.
The general opinion is that the workhouse pris-
oners should be allowed much fresh air. This
could be obtained by work in the open.
We do no therefore see that any question Of
the competency of Mr. Crawford as the warden
Of the workhouse is in the slightest manner in
volyed, and those who may be knocking him
have no just reason for so doing. Mr. Crawford
so far as we know. is a competent Official None
Of the guards Of the workhouse we're accused by
the sensahon-Ioving Ardenites Of cruelty or NAL
treatment, and if the impression has gone out thai
the workhouse is an awful hole" as compared viii
other prisons, il is erroneous one.
AS we have said reforms could doubt be ap
piled 20 the workhouse and they should be, ant
Mr.. Sinclairs letter should accomplish much good
We have as good a set of trustees of the work
house as we could get. There has been in tn
past criticism of the trustees and the entire man
agement but much of it has come from politics
sources. Some politicians would like TO upset tn
present management and make it an insttutio
governed politically so that jobs would be provide
for the faithful 1t is needless TO conjecture whs
me workhouse would soon degenerate into unde
such management OF course Mr. Sinclair ha
nothing 10 do with criticism that might procee

Editorial Opinion
ARDEN,s pEFIANCE OF LAW.
Chester Times.

Chester Times.
The athletic pastimes which we're
conducted in the Socialistic commun-
ity of Arden in Delaware last Sunday
will not be taken as an Indication Of
a desire for pleasure SO much as a de-
termination to deliberately show con-
tempt Of the laws Of the state. View
ed from that standpoint the spectacle
is not a pleasant one to contemplate.
Arden's residents have never made
any distinction between the Sabbath
and other days-all days are alike 10
the Anarchists and Socialists in the
colony; but the commonwealth does
make a distinction. The lawmakers
Of Delaware long ago recognized Su-
preme Being in their code and decided
that honor should be paid by making
one day in the week different in some
respects from the rest. That being the
case every lawabiding person In that
state will obey the law in its spirit
at least
It is not so much that the Ardenites
played baseball and tennis on Sunday
for scores OF games were doubtless
played elsewhere in the state. but the
affront in this instance is that these
games were arranged and advertised
to be an exhibition of the contempt
all the residents Of that community
felt for the laws that Delaware had
made. IL was not the mere playing OF
the games, but the lawlessness of the
manner in which they were partici-
pated in.
1t is not necessary TO go out oi
Delaware county to find Sunday games
in progress. Baseball games are nu-
merous, the links of the country clubs
contain players all day, while various
other amusements are in progress
but while we deprecate this misuse
of day that should be set apart e
higher concerns of life. yet there Il
the distinction that in Arden the ath
letic pastimes we're designed solely al
an exhibition of contempt for the Law
and defiance Of It.
Arden's Sunday exhibitions is on ;
level with the man who cannot con
troll his appetite. so hunts speak
easy at which he may quench hi
thirst, although he knows that he as
sists in the violation Of law when b.
patronized such place.

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS.

TT HE National Progressive Democratic League
i is to be launched within a few weeks with
Colonel William c. LilIer of indianapolis as its
head for the purpose of advancing progressive
legislation II is supposed really to be move
ment in behalf of the presidential aspirations of
Governor Wilson Of New Jersey.
The leaders of the league say that it is not
committed TO the Governor, although very friend
ly to him. In the announcement sent out by the
league il is said that secret influences are at work
TO control the next Democratic National Conven-
tion and bring about the nomination of candidates
and platform agreeable to Wall street interests.
The league will opposed all reactionary platforms
and candidates
Some time ago it was said that progressive
Democratic League had been formed in Kent
county this state, but it is probably on summer
vacation as nothing has been heard of it since the
first announcement If the National League be-
comes busy, il would have fine field of operations
IN Delaware among other states. From present
indications it looks as if the reactionaries would
seek TO control the next Democratic convention in
Delaware.

THE 200 FEET PROVISION.

D OVER has setted the boulevard question by
IL providing a right of way The perplexing
problem now confronts Smyrna. According to
the Smyrna Times, General DUPONT wants right
of way 200 feet wide through the town, and It is
estimated that the expense of securing it will be
from $4,000 TO $4,000.
The only way for the town to raise this amount
that we can see is by bond issue, and that is a
question for the citizens to decide. The fact that
Smyrna years ago, like some other towns was cut
off from the railroad has stirred citizens so that
they will probably exert themselves to the limit
TO secure the boulevard.
The chief trouble encountered in the road build
ing, so far as we have observed, is the width 200
feet. provision, for many think that road not so
wide would answer all purposes and make fine
highway. Some people who would freely give
smaller amount of land hesitate about donating
enough to make up the 200 feet They cannot be
justly criticised for their hesitation. Very few
persons in cities would give dozen feet for a
public improvement.

CITY PAVING.

~ HE STREET AND SEWER DIRECTORS have
l. rejected all bids of contractors for paving,
believing that the city do its own work much
cheaper and better and least good as the pri-
yate contractors can do. There should be no doubt
on that score.
Each of the three directors is thoroughly ex-
perienced business man, and with the municipal
paving plant in operation they should be able TO
save the city considerable money II is much bet
ter for the city 10 do its paving. Practically
all done by the city has been satisfactory and the
same, no doubt. will be said of future paving.
The best kind OF material should be used for il is
cheaper in the end.
There is no valid reason why the Street and
Sewer Directors should not proceed along the lines
they have mapped out. 1t is unlikely that the city
could secure men more competent to direct this
kind OF work than our present directors.
