What people of ordinary intelli-

it should be announced in May that
coal is to be advanced in September.
There is nothing, as rule, in mining
conditions to warrant it, and the
opinion is growing that in the coal
business the law Of supply and de-

The Rare Exception.

The democratic ways and means
committee Of the house of representa-
tives, paradoxical as it may seem, has
found one article on which the tariff
tax is not high enough, and there is
every indication that the committee will
report favorably on a bill to tax this
one article so high that it can neither
be manufactured in this country nor
brought in from abroad.
This article is the common white
phosphorus, of which all matches, ex-
cept safety matches, are made.
Workers in those factories which
turn out the common, or so-called par
Tor matches" are subject to one Of the
most dreadful diseases medical science
ever had to contend with. 1t is known
as "phossy jaw" and the victim of
this malady suffers tortUres worse than
any death. 'Phossy jaw" first attacks
the jaw bones. eating into them so that
in the final stages Of the disease the
jaw sloughs off entirely. In some in
stances the disease spreads to other
bones of the body, often leaving the
victim a hopeless cripple for life.
There is no known cure for the dis
ease, and there is no known proven
tive for II.
With the coming of the safety match,
which is made without white phos-
phorus, great many of the members
/ of congress-and the sentiment is prac-
/ tically unanimous among the demo
crats--see no reason why the parlor
| match should be longer manufactured

ing fires. Children, playing with it.
always are exposed TO danger, whereas
the safety match is not dangerous for
either of these reasons.
The ways and means committee is
considering a proposal to report a bill
which Will place an entirely prohibitive
tax on this match. OF course. inter.
ested parties will present arguments
against it, The manufacturers. of phos
phorus matches, however. are in the

and the volume of their business is

Judge Cookies Addresses.

The two addresses delivered by
Judge George A. Cooke of the Illinois
supreme court in the tri-cities last
week proved of a highly instructive
as well as interesting nature. Both
were under the auspices Of those en-
trusted with the training of the
young. In the first Judge Cooke
brought the methods of procedure
employed by the highest tribunal Of
the state. in reaching decisions, home
to his hearers. He told of how
rulings are made in the highest le-
gal body in the commonwealth,
thus correcting many erroneous i'm
pressions that may have existed that
the supreme court is a mysterious
body which has its own way of do
ing things. In other words, Judge
Cooke convinced his hearers that the
supreme court is as much an institu-
ton of the people, near to the peo-
pie, as the legislative and executive
branches of the government, seeking
simply to do its duty in the interest
of common justice which is common
welfare.
In his Saturday night talk Judge
Cooke preached the faith of the
fathers of the republic. 1t was a fine
effort and a scholarly address that
made a profound impression. Gov
ernments are great even as the peo-
pie are great; they are the govern
ment, Judge Cooke held. The fran.
ers of the constitution Of the United
/ States handed down the most won.
derful form of government the
world has ever known. If the peo'
pie but follow in the footsteps Of
/ the founders of the republic they
will find that for foresight and wis
dom the form of government pre-
scribed for this nation is as nearly
perfect as human intellect coult
make 1t.
The Judge impressed the schoo
workers with the responsibility tina
reposes in them the incubation o.

Suppose you were walking down
quiet street, about the middle of a
morning on a weekday. Then, sup
pose you rounded corner and walked
plump into a galloping procession OF
youngsters, headed by galloping
schoolma'am.
You'd be surprised, wouldn't you?
And you'd wonder what's up-espe-
cially as it concerned the schoolma' am,
since schoolma' ans, as a rule, are dis
tinctly dignified and averse to pub
lie display Of their sprinting abilities.
But this is a common occurrence in
Detroit, Mich, and the galloping pro-
cession may be seen daily as long as
the cold weather lasts. The pupils of
the Williams school of that city take
their constitutional in this manner
twice daily in place of the ordinary
recess. For 10 minutes they walk and
run, divided in squads which go in
different directions.
when the cold weather began,
said the principal of the school, 1--WE
hit on this plan for recess exercise.
AS We knew every child needed the
fresh air and exercise, we made 1t
compulsory. So every day each child
no excuse goes-is bundled up and
sent out in his squad under the direc,
ton of older children and teachers
The distance covered depends on the
age and strength of the children
that is why they are divided into
SQUADS. Even sickness isn't accepted
as an excuse, though a child who isn't
feeling just right is put in the squad
that takes the easiest route
OF course there were those who OBJ
jected to this plan, at first, and 6
number of fond but mistaken papas
and mammas tried to have exceptions
made in the cases of their children
Il was claimed that the children
would catch cold and that they would
be too tired to study after such siren
uous exercise.
But the experience thus far, it /:
claimed, fully justifies the decision o
the principal to make the morning
and afternoon ''trots" compulsory
Fewer children complain of colds, al
are improving in health and it is no
ticeable that they work better wheI
they get back TO their seats.
One of the difficulties at first wa
that the teachers objected to LEADING
the children in their runs through tn
highways and byways of the town.
1T wouldn't be dignifed,' they de
clared.
But now they are as enthusiastic a

exercise do them an incalculabl
amount of good.
