crease the wages Of his hired help and
shift the burden to the consumer as is
cften the case with the merchant and the
manufacturer. He does not fix the price
0f his products and while producing the
wealth of the nation he receives minimum
pay for his services. Over production and
crop mortgages force the farmer into
r~uinOus competition with each other, fore
ing down prices and compelling low
wages and long hours. The remedy lies
in organization and in cooperation in

SPRING FESTIVAL.

When Brownsvillc's first Spring FEES
tival passed into history last night it
had the right to wear the label, Sue
cess" For measured by any fair stand
ard of success, that is what il was.
The Herald i'll common with other in
dlviduals and business concerns in
Brownsville, takes this earliest oppor-
tunity to thank the people Of the up
Valley communities for their visit, and
for their cordial appreciation Of what
we offered them in the way of entertain
ment, cheap railroad fairs aud special
discounts for purchases made Of our
merchants.
In saying this The Herald voices the
sentiments of all the people of Browns
vile, 1T ventures TO assert.
The members Of the Brownsville Mcr-
chants League and all the people who
assisted them have the right to say they
have scored Il victory for themselves and
our town. This is no l~iattcry, but a
truth derived from the facts in the case.
They hafv demonstrated that publicity
pays. They have brought at least five
hundred up-Nalley people to the town.
They hayr made it clear to them that it
pays to dead in Brownsville and with
Brownsville merchants.
Also III entertaining and dealing with
yesterdays visitors they have gained eX-
perience which will enable them to
handle the next festival even better than
they handled that Of yesterday.
They will, in any case, have learned
how to make such changes in the enter
tainment program as Will give the right
variety to the TiSitOrS-to whom we may
promise with confidence, All improve
ment on the first program. The Herald
is in no position to speak in terms Of
dollars and cents, but judging by the
number of visitors, by their evident APP
probation Of the window displays, and
by the manner in which they t~hrongcd
the stores. we need not doubt that The
financial side of it was very gratifying.
1t is worth our while to improve our
relations with the Valley people, and
we have no doubt that after Yesterdays
experience they will rcciprocate the
sentiment.

Hitherto sport has been locke dup0n
principally as a medium of physical i'm
proycment, but recently French Scien-
lists have been examining the i~ntcllcc
tual effects of various games. First OBJ
Scryation would seem to show that be
sides the development of Scmi-moral
qualities such as courage and perscver-
lncc. each game or exercise has certain
apcial characteristics which act on and
improve the mind.
The Olympic congress starting from
This basis. proposes to ask a number of
leading dcvotccs of every form of sport
10 analyzc the various phenomena obSer-
vahle i'll themselves and other athletes.
Questions will be asked concerning the
origin of the taste for sports; whether
due TO natural general OF special apti-
tudes, to heredity or to instinct: and to
what CvtCnt the spirit OF limitation or
will power is responsible. Then the con
%tinuity and method of %cultivatine the
taste: Is il inherent to the personality?
Is it born physically from a species of
muscular automatism, of a desire for
fresh air-or is it implanted III individu-
AS BY The ambition to be beautiful, heal
Thy and strong, or merely to be applaud
Cd?
Finally the results: does training
cause excessive fatigue to the body?
does it producc q greater power of ply
steal resistance, or the development of
Will power and self confidence? does it
lead TO mental eQuipoise and a philoso-
phic attitude towards life and conduct
II is expected that the data obtained
will prove Of great value, and form the
foundation Of q new branch Of cxper-
mental psychology of Importance to ed

CITY DIRECTORY.

1t is not easy to understand why any
one should imagine that Brownsville
needs a city directory ut this particular
stage of its growth. The telephone di-
rectory should be a pretty fair guide
TO the business locations in the town,
since very few people in business here
do not use the phones in their places OF
business. As to the residence districts
the average man who run a delivery
wagon should be 4 pretty fair directory
within him self just now. AS to adyer-
Using we undoubtedly need that. both
at home and abroad. In the matter Of
home advertising there are better ways
Of reaching the people than the directory
method of reaching them. AS a rule the
tired citizen when he goes home at
evening does not get out his city. direc
tory and study its advertisements. Out
side advertising is also needed, but the
city directory will not furnish that. #
the business men greatly desire that let
them pool their funds and go after ii in
Il way that will bring Brownsville and
the country round il 10 the attention Of
the people we wish to reach. Undoubted-
" we should grow into big city ways as
rapidly as possible; but to have the
ways without the big city will make Us
look rather absurd.

If MadcrO was actually killed in the
manner described in the latest version
of his death. it is not unreasonable to
suppose that the ruralcS who shot him
were also murdered. When 4 crime in

criminal is 10 remove the implements Of
murder. The only trouble with this
story is that it is only one Of several yer
sions of that said affair. Until the
truth is certainly known ii will be both
wise and Just to give The accused the
benefit of the doubt. In this country we
have no call 20 become partiSanS of
either side. in times Of war. and cSpec-
