BRITISH EARS SHOCKED.

our British cousins have been shocked
by the vituperative language used by
the candidates for the presidency dur
ing the present campaign. 1t must be
confessed that the Damon and Pyth-
las of Republican politics, during the
primary campaign. made such an ex-
hibition of themselves as to make
any dignity from Roosevelt, but they
expected more dignity from President
Taft than to handy epithets with
Teddy. But Taft was badly advised
by his friends, and under great provo
cation he thought it his duty to deny
the charges = made so vehemently
against him by the man who formerly
praised him and made him president
of the United States. Instead of con-
trolling his temper, he applied abu-
sive epithets and ugly explosives un-
becoming man holding such lofty
position and lost considerable prestige
thereby. -,fp
But why the Britishers should be
shocked is another question. OF
course, they hold no election f,,r a
king who becomes a ruler of the
realm by the grace Of God" They
hold elections for members of parlia-
ment, however, and we know from the
London papers that there is more
abuse and scurrility used by opposing
candidates ana their respective fol-
lowers than have ever been used in
the United States even during the
campaign now coming to a close.
In the current issue of the Atlantic
Monthly. Samuel McChord Crothers
refers to a scene in the British parlia-
ment which would be considered ex-
citing in the legislature of Oklahoma.
The trouble began with a statement
by Mr.. Asquith, the prime minister,
and the reporter -satd of it:
Then up jumped Mr.. Lansbury, his
face contorted with passion, and his
powerful, rasping voice dominating
the whole house. Shouting and wav-
ing his arms, he approaching the
Government front bench with a curl
Gus, crouching gait, like a boxer leav-
ing his corner in the ring. One or
two Liberals on the bench behind Mr..
Asquith half rose, but the prime min
lister sat stolidly gazing above the
heads OF the opposition, his arms
folded and his lips pursed. Mr.. Lans-
bury had worked himself up into a
state of frenzy, and, facing the prime
minister, he shouted: You are be-
meath contempt! Call yourself a
gentleman! You ought to be driven
from public life."'
That was only one episode. Worse
scenes were witnessed in the British
parliament. During the fight on the
lords, on Home Rule, and the meas
ures of Lloyd George. nothing in the
history of American political vitup-
GRAFTON has excelled the achievements
Of the British. Nothing in our poll
tics has ever surpassed the bitterness
of the Tory attacks upon Lloyd
George. But that does not overcome
the complacency of the English mind
in viewing the sins Of other peoples.

penetrated the epidermis OF John
Bull. -r4

TO TRY At NAVY YARD
AEROBOAT FOR NAVY
Hangar Has Been Built Where
Experimental Work Will
Be Done.

Within day or two a now hydro-aero-
plane will be tried out for the navy at
the navy yard. Heretofore the expert
mental navy aeroplane work has been
carried on at Annapolis, but Capt. Cham
hers who Is i'm charge of aeronautics in
the navy, decided that it was rather Il
handicap to have the experimental work
and the aviation instruction carried Oh at
the same place. Therefore it was decided
to rig I'D a hangar at the navy Ward,
where the experimental work could be
done in close proximity to the shops.
The location at the yard is not considered
particularly favorable but a hangar has
, been built with a runway to the water.
The first thing being tried Is new type
of aerOboat, somewhat similar to that
used by Glenn Curtiss The material OF
which the boat is built is new. being II
combination Of waterproof fabric some
thing like leather reinforced with wood
There are some differences in the design
and construction of the boat, but they
are principally technical differences.
When the new craft is finished 1t Will be
given a trial ON the Potomac, ana any
alterations suggested by experience will
be made before it Is shipped to the hylng
school at Annapolis.
Orville Wright. who was at the War
Department yesterday in consultation
with Gen. Allen the chief signal officer,
returned to Dayton last night. There are
several weight carrying Wright aero
planes to be tested for the government
at College Park before they are accepted
and used in the service. The good wealth
err is lasting rather late this fall and as
many of the machines as possible Will be
tested at College Park. though it may be
necessary to send some of them to one OF
the winter aviation camps for demonstra
ton.

The workman who slaves in a shop all
day will find a rowboat ride in the even
ing actually restful. 1t takes him into
an enjoyable atmosphere, gives him light
exercise. fresh air and enjoyment
The surroundings go a long way to-
ward making exercise beneficial. That
work at which one wins his daily bread
Is tiresome usually. 1t Is restraint. He
works because he must earn money.
And there Is just as much physical un-
fitness among working men as there Is
among bus,ne IS men.
Light exercise that Is enjoyable often
does much more good than heavy ex-
ercise that Is forced. That Is why games
which are founded on exercise do much
more good than the same time spent In
house cleaning. making barrels or haul
ing lumber.
Recreation Is the first cousin Of ex-
ercise, and when the two are combined
the results are always more commend
able. Exercise without mental response
Is an impossibllity.
Exercise should embrace all physical
processes-circulation Of the blood. tear
