Senator Taylor's death shocks a large
circle of people to whom he was person
ally and fondly known as a friend, and a
still larger circle of those who knew him

years of age, his career had neverthe-

ecutive position. When political and
financial adversely overlook him he
turned his talents to account, and for a

people wholesome entertainment in the

when he declared at a meeting in Will
lard Hall that the way to cure the Amer
lean boy of the cigarette habit is to
make an athlete of him. Then he went
Oh to say that he was in favor Of prohi-
bition by statute to make the boy give
up his cigarette. The spirit of contest
and the desire for victory will do more
toward Kidding the boy OF his pernicious
cigarette than al the laws that can be
written into the statutes. Prohibition to
youth is an obstacle to be overcome, and
the inventive genius Of boyhood may be
depended upon to clear the barrier. On
the other hand, the primal instinct for
conquest and glory will instill in the
youthful mind q voluntary inhibition from
any practice that threatens his supremacy.
Instructors of youth already have taken
advantage of this phase Of the mental
side of their charges and won success.
Athletics in schools and colleges has
made for a cleaner physical life. The
first demand the trainer makes on a
prospective athlete is that he 'go in
training" College rules do not prevent
students from drinking or smoking, but
hope of making college team does,
and the habits of the heroes of the grid
iron, diamond and field have a subtle
influence for good even on those students
who are not prominent In athletics.

Every Citizen an Inspector.

At the cleanup week meeting Sat.
urday night at the Public Library repre-
sentatives of the District health Office en-
deavored to make it plain to the people
that there is no difficulty In the way Of
getting official action when insanitary
places are found and reported. The
health office cannot of its own initiative
fad the dirty corners and back yards, for
lack Of inspection force, but it is in po-
sition to move against them whenever it
finds them. Thus the entire body of citi-
Zens may become an inspection force and
cooperate with the authorities. A tele-
phone message or a postal card sent to
the health office regarding an unsightly
or germ breeding pile of refuse viii pro-
duce results. The District government
has methods that are in general effective
in compelling the owners or occupants Of
insanitary property to abate nuisances.
No citizen should hesitate about report
ing any insanitary condition coming to his
notice. 1t is distinctly his business to let
the authorities know where there is filth,
and he should be as explicit as possible,
giving the most precise directions as to
locality. The health Office now gets COM
plants occasionally about conditions that
|need attention. but in vague and mis-
leading terms. putting the officials to a
maximum of trouble in searching with q
minimum of results.
Some people hesitate about reporting
matters of this kind for fear of giving
offense to neighbors or starting trouble.
There is no need of such squeamishness.
The health office will carefully preserve
the anonymity of those who are helping
it to perform it's functions. There should
be no araIm OF conscience about letting
the District government know Of the
things that ne{d to be done to protect the

attributed to him lack force. Why should
he at this late day hold Gov. Harmon to
account for the latters bolt in 1896. when
he has forgiven other men the same Of
tense? The boilers of that year were
numerous. and many of them are now in
Mr.. Bryan's good graces. Gov. Wilson is
one, and yet Mr.. Bryan in public has
praised him highly.
And what is the authority for the
charge-which Mr.. Bryan seems to &C
cept-that Gov. Harmon is Wall streets
candidate? The same charge has been
made as to Mr.. Underwood. and Mr..
Clark is said to be much respected in
New York circles Wall street itself Is
mum, of course. 1t is much too wise to
publicly manifest it's feelings. whatever
they may be. 1t is aware of it's unpop-
ularity in the political world. and, how
ever much it might favor candidate,
would not think of weighing him down
with an open Endorsement.
The anti-Harmon movement in OHIO Is
making some strange bedfellows. Mr..
Bryan himself is in company he has never
kept before. In his time he has been,
and is today, quite as objectionable TO
some of Gov. Harmon's home antagonists
as Gov. Harmon is to him. They have
deplored his continued hold on the party;
and next to their fear of Gov. Harmon's
nomination is their fear of deadlock at
Baltimore with Mr.. Bryan as the key.
And yet they welcome an exercise of his
strength as against Gov. Harmon.
Meanwhile Gov. Harmon, copying Mr..
Taft'S tactics toward Mr.. Roosevelt, is
holding his peace toward Mr.. Bryan and
asking for support at Baltimore on is
sues he considers democratic. and which
ne states conServatively.

BRYAN and Harmon,

MIR. Bryan is on the eve of carrying his
war on Gov. Harmon into the iatter's
own state. He will spend two days on
the stump in Ohio this month. VIII his
visit hurt or help the Harmon cause?
There Is some Wilson sentiment In Ohio,
but the Governor of New Jersey declines
10 cultivate ii. He has refused an invi-
tation to speak in the state. There is
also some Clark sentiment, but the
Speaker is not cultivating il. He and
Gov Wilson count Ohio as Gov. Har-
mons own.
Not being an avowed candidate for the
Baltimore nomination himself, Mr.. Bryan
seems to feel at liberty to go where ne
pleases. He is very much opposed TO the
Harmon boom, and so has decided to
tackle it right where it lives. He would
probably do the same thing II any oppo-
xition to Mr.. Underwood existed in Ala
bama The Albanian also is on his
black list. But the Alabama democracy
is solid for the favorite son, and there
Is no opening for interference from the
outside.

Children at Large and at Home.

Two boys have just been arraigned in
the juvenile court for various forms of
disorderly conduct whose cases are in a
way typical of the Juvenile problem pre-
scented in all large cities They have been
in the habit of going out at night to play
and roam about at some distance from
their homes. One of them was asked by
the judge why he did this and he replied
that he Just wanted to get little fresh
air." Of course. this was an obvious ex-
cuse. The fresh air did not tempt him
as much as the freedom and excitement
of street life after dark, and probably If
the facts were known this boys home
surroundings were not especially attract
i've to him. In an appalling number of
instances the home life is unpleasant to
the children. There is little effort
on the part of parents to keep the young
sters entertained within domestic range.
In the first place, they are kept to the
performance of regular tasks in houses
where the work is done by the members
of the family, and in other establishments,
where servants are employed, they are
held to studies after the dinner hour
and If any parental restraint is exercised
it usually takes the form Of the enforce
ment of early retirement What wonder
that many children. seeking diversion, go
out of doors and make their way down
to the brightly lighted streets? Who can
really blame them for their wanderings?
child is naturally sociable and playful
and wants entertainment and companion
ship. If he cannot find it home he will
find 1t elsewhere. If he is restrained at
home by rule without sociability and
family affection he will devise ways
and means of escaping from the restric-
tons. He learns to cheat and lie in order
to get freedom. The girls are quite as
likely as the boys to fall into deceptive
ways when they find home conditions I'M
pleasant. No matter how much care is
exercised in supervision, poor results are
achieved when the parental authority is
severe and unqualified by kindness and
consideration. The truth of the matter is
that in a great number of cases children
are rated a nuisance rather than
blessing. Parental love expresses itself in
peculiar ways sometimes, and the child
is not likely to appreciate the tenderness
which finds voice in harsh speech and
the interest which is manifested in the
denial Of some privilege or pleasure. If
there were more frankness and compan-
ionship between the elders and the young
sters there would be little trouble about
keeping the children entertained at home
A curfew law is needed largely because
the young people, finding home unattract-
i've. so into the streets and places of
public amusement to find relaxation from
their studies and tasks. Washington
today should have the assistance of such
a law in bringing the parents to a keener
realization of their responsibilities.

Politics does not enter into responsible
American calculations about Mexico
Nobody with the proper appreciation
of matters thinks of Intervention except
as a last resort. Every intelligent per
son understands what intervention would
mean TO us as a task. We should incur
a heavy expense. and might find the task
not only difficult but protracted.
The only possible effect of the sugSes-
ton that Mr.. Taft is considering the
question from the viewpoint of his po-
litical fortunes is an anti-American sent-
ment in Mexico. Many Mexicans have
been asked TO believe that we are eager
TO cross the border. and have conquest
and annexation in mind. To such men
this charge about the President, should
il reach them, would prove inflammatory.
They would become more strongly anti
American than ever. They would quick
en- with increased Indignation at the idea
of their country becoming mere pawn
in the American political game.
At home here the matter is well under
stood There are two reasons why Mr..
Taft cannot be convicted of the charge
made. % He is far above such calcu-
lation. and 90 if he were capable of it
he would not need it in his campaign. He
is moving steadily and surely toward
triumph at Chicago, and will reach goal
by the legitimate means at his command.
He has no need TO consider forcing the
hand of Congress and plunsing the coun-
try into war in order to make certain of
denomination.
Were war to come we should see both
parties and all factions unite for its sue
cessful prosecution. Mr.. Roosevelt would
at once be relieved of his present alb
surd company and notifying embarrass-
ments. for the chances are nine in ten
that he would be prompt TO offer his
services and take the field soldier,
probably at the head of another regiment
of Rough Riders. And Mr.. Bryan might
feel the fever again, as when the war
with Spain broke out and he got ready
TO go to Cuba.
The President is under no suspicion
at home in any quarter of consequence.
He is not for the first time facing diff
culties in Mexico. They are getting

Diaz was challenged by Madero; and
they have continued ever since. 1t is
not as il the turmoil had suddenly broken
out. catching him busy with home affairs
and therefore at disadvantage in hav-
ing hurriedly to appraise his duty as to
foreign affairs He has had to keep
Mexican affairs more or less in mind
for over a year.
The government is we'll represented at
the Mexican capital, and the President
is well advised as to all material de-
velopments of the revolt against Madero.
He is not in the dark, and not in any
mischievous, jingo mood.
