A PLEASANT OCCASION.

GONE persons wonder whether boys and young
- men are being looked after, whether they
under good influences. Some of them are, that is
certain
The gathering of some $50 young men on
almost any occasion is a pleasing sight, particu-
iarly pleasing, when they are seen around ban
quet board making speeches. protesting devotion
to their religion and loyalty to their priest or
pastor.
The other night the Rev. John Connolly, the
energetic and faithful pastor of ST. Thomas Roman
Catholic Church, entertained large body of young
men, members of the Pioneer Literary Association
and of the Brownson Library Association, and it
was delightful occasion. A better behaved crowd
Of young men it would be hard to find. They
made speeches, good ones too, and are inclined
to think that some of our friends like the Hon.
Peter j. Ford, Senator Monaghan, w. M. Con-
nelly. Thomas F. Gormley and other political lead
ers will have TO look to their aurels for that meet
ing showed that there are some young men in the
southwestern part of the city who will be heard
from if their inclination turns them towards pub
lie life
1t was fine thing to witness the devotion OF
these young men 10 their priest and to their
church and in striking contrast was the spirit dis
played there with that OF some other Young
men who are ashamed of religion The men at
the dinner have pastor who is always instilng
into them the precepts of religion patriotism and
civic virtue, fine combination
Let them follow his advice not cast it lightly
aside as many hippant young men do the counsel
of their elders, and they will know that they can

Cleveland will appoint you to any
office that will hold over, like some OF
the commissionerships," Whitney SAID.
Not any office for me-" Lamont re-
piled determinedly. L have got TO go 10
work to earn a living"
How would you like to come with
me, Dan?" Whitney asked.
Are you going to stay in politics!
Lamoat asked half jestingly, for ne
knew that Mr. Whitney's experience
as Secretary of the Navy had been SUI
ficient to surfeit any ambition ne may
have had for political distinction
Then very earnestly and very sell-
ously Whitney outlined to Lamont the
business career which he had in view
as soon as he retired from the Navy
Deuartment. He spoke Of the great op-
portunity the surface railway systems
of New York city offered; he outlined
a combination into one great system OF
all the surface. He added that 10
accomplish that, would require a great
combination of capital and business
and political ability.
Then turning to Lamont, he con-
tinued: II need you, Dan, in this WORK.

MIR. TAFTS MESSAGE.

IF INVESTIGATIONS and inquiries by COM
= missions into subjects that concern the every
day life of the people do good, we shall soon have
much improvement. President Taft favors inves-
LEGATIONS. But what is needed is craftsmanship
able to weave the information secured by means
Of the various inquiries into something tangible
for the relief of conditions complained of.
In his special message sent to Congress yester-
day the president advocates the creation of a COM
mission to be composed of learned men of America
and Europe for the purpose of investigating the
high cost of living, for the subject, the presi-
dent says is international in scope All civilized
countries have been more or less affected by the
high cost of living.
In advising appropriation for the investi
cation the president is granting the request OF
the American Economic Association which recent
ly met in Washington. 1t may be said in passing
that some of the most eminent European ccono-
mists attribute the high cost of ving-that is, the
high prices of things-to the tremendous increase
in the supply of gold. Gold is more plentiful and
hence less valuable
This fact is in accordance with the quanttative
theory of money-a theory that is correct, with
limitations Some fifteen years ago when
prices were low the output of gold was not heavy.
Fee PRESIDENT recommends an appropriation OF
$4,000, not a large amount, TO pay the expenses
of United States Commissioners. Congress should
follow the presidents advice in this matter, de-
spite the fact that some politicians at Washington
may think that any impartial investigation OF the
high cost of living might touch in one way or the
other the tariff and could be twisted into politics
The president also suggests that commission
be appointed on industrial relations, a commission
necessary because of the extraordinary growth OF
industry and the changed relations between en-
ployers and employees that have sprung up during
the past two decades. The president seems to
think that some kind of tribunal of adjustment
Is needed. He refers TO the "easy-going confidence
that in each case, (of industrial dispute) somehow
or other the parties to the dispute will find some
solution which will be agreeable TO themselves and
consistent with the public interest
The president adds that it is probable that the
remedy for conditions complained of lies in the
field of state action. This is the significant and
important part of the message, for it intmates
that Federal action in the industrial world is to
be increased rather than diminished. And it is
the. hand of the government in industry, some
thing necessary because Of changed and changing
conditions, that has brought the president into
conflict with big business

In the early summer of 1888, at
about the time of the Democratic Ma
tional convention which renominated
President Cleveland, rather compli-
Gated political situation arose in New
York city and leading Democrats
fastened to Washington to secure
presidential influence or assistance.
Some of them were men with whom
President Cleveland was not on terms
Of very close political or personal
intimacy.
One day, William c. Whitney, the
Secretary of the Navy, passed from the
Presidents office through that of his
private secretary. the late Colonel
Daniel H. Lamont. Mr. Whitney, with
quick, observant eye, perceived that
Colonel Lamont was handling the diff
ficult and often intractable political
leaders from New York city with the
utmost skill He had completely
tanned them, and apparently done it
without any realization on their part
that they were yielding to the tactful
skill OF the best judge of human ma
ture who ever served as private sec
retary to a President
After the defeat of President Cleve-
land the following November,M Whit

going to do when you get through next

any great extent remarks that the people asso-
ciate the initiative, referendum and recall with a
lot Of other isms and strange doctrines, and the

Some men are very free in clubbing various
schemes, popustic or anarchstic or socialistc and
that settles it so far as they are concerned. Ask
them just what Popusm, Anarchism and Social
ism are, and they will reply with a mudded con-
ception of them or have business around the
corner.
Many OF the questions in which people are in
terested today or supposed to be interested in,
first found public expression in this country
through the old Populistic sources. Many persons
who are not Socialists in the strict sense of the
word far from it-advocate measures that the
Socialists the first to put into political plat
form.
Colonel Roosevelt has often been accused of
snatching the good things in Populism and Social
ism and giving them his powerful support.
The right course is to judge measures on their
merits and not by the source from which they
proceed. Many things that are termed "isms
today will become vital questions of public policy
in the not distant future just as measures called
"isms" in the past and tossed aside with a sneer
are the subjects around which popular debate is

MARYLAND ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

A MEETING was recently held in Salisbury,
Md, attended by citizens from every one
of the fourteen districts in the county, and plan
to bond the county for road purposes was warmly
approved The county is to start on a compre-
hensive scheme of road Improvements, and to begin
with, bond issue of 100000 is proposed.
The meeting appointed a committee to prepare
a proposition, which is TO be submitted to the vot-
ers at special election for adoption or rejection.
Wicomico county already has made considerable
progress in road building under the old Shoemaker
law and under the provisions of the present state
law of Maryland, but more is desired.
1t was great disappointment TO many of the
citizens of the county when route other than
that leading TO Delmar was selected for the du-
Pont road, it was reported that the citizens of
wicomico would have continued the DUPONT road
on through their county at least as far as Sails

sICKNEss IN sEYERE wEATHER.


Many of the doctors say that there
was comparatively little sickness dur
ing the extremely cold period but
they look for more since the weather
has broken. Undoubtedly, the intensity
of such a continuous stretch of Sc
yerely cold weather as We have felt
imposes a strain on the vitality, but
With care and prudence will ordinar-
lily do no harm Sickness is supposed
to be not as common in the universally
cold climates as in those of frequent
changes If this is correct, it must be
because people are constantly pre-
pared for the rigors and dress and
live the same one day as another.
All of which should suggest the wis
dom of extra precaution now that the
mercury has begun to migrate up and
down its slender field of habitation
It will be much easier to expose one
self to the peril of bad cold or pneu-
monia by leaving off what one ordi-
narily wears I'm winter months, be-
cause the weather might happen to be
milder than it was when the thermom-
eter was registering ten and twenty
below zero. And danger turks not only
in the putting on and taking off ol
certain apparel, but in a dozen Other

HOW no BOIL EGGS.

New York Sun.
Mayor Gaynor yesterday had the
audacity to tell the pupils Of Public
School 4 that eggs for the morning
meal should be boiled four minutes.
The sorry condition into which edu-
cation has fallen in this town was re-
yealed by the declared belief Of his
auditors that eggs should be boiled for
six minutes. If such false and danger
GUS doctrines as both of these go un-
exposed and unrebuked, what will the
next generation know of the pure de-
lights of properly boiled eggs?
Mr.. Gaynor was nearer the correct
answer than the school children, but
he was so far wrong as to indicate
his complete lack of knowledge of this
subject. Eggs for immediate human
consumption should be boiled thus;
They should be put in suitable con-
tainer, and cold water should be pour
ed over them. The vessel should then
be put over the fire and the water
brought to a boil Boiling should be al
lowed TO continue for one minute, not
a second more or less Then the re-
ceptaclc in which this delicate opera
tion has been performed should be re-
moved from the fire, and the eggs
kept in the hot water for three min
utes. They should be- served in the
shells When this formula has been
observed boiled eggs worth eating will
be produced.
Did not this recipe commend itsell
by its simplicity and foundation in
good sense it would find ample recon-
mendation IN the fact that it is de-
rived from the descendants Of the ar
tist who cooked for Ferdinand the
| identical egg that made c. Colombo
| famous. Any person who refuses Il
acknowledge the superiority Of eggs
boiled after this fashion is At only tc
consume cold storage eggs the rest

That our Charter mill" at Dover, something to
which the state cannot point with any degree of
pride, is an uncertain source of revenue is shown
by the fact that the receipts decreased consider
ably during the past year compared with the
previous year. The receipts from fees show an
increase, but not sufficient TO make up for the
loss in the general tax receipts. The revenue
from the licensing of automobiles was increased
almost $4,000 beyond that of the previous year, the
state having received last year $l3,279 from that
source. The chief thing that can be said in favor
of the charter mill is that it is 'easy money OBJ

The German government will go on
about as before, but the moral effect of

considerable. German militarism is
likely to be less aggressive in its de-

lures, and the rest of Europe will
probably breathe more freely with the
