'.Nava1 Holiday" Urged BY
Churchill For An Nations

naval budget OF every nation and the
added taxation which 1t necessitated.

the secretary, zone of the strongest ar

EDUCATION BY STEALTH.
TDes Moines Capital1

The presence OF four thousand teach
ers in Des Moines reminds us that we
are progressing in an educational way
Boys and girls are actually learning to
read without knowing the alphabet
This leads us to wonder whether we
will ever be able to add without know
ing the figures. Every effort Is being
made to instill knowledge into the
mind of the first grader without using
the old fashioned method Of pounding.
grinding and pummelling. Much Of the
education Of the child is now by stealth.
The youngster learns a great deal In
the songe which he may suppore are
for his amusement. Songs tell about
birds. the seasons. the crops. the home
and health. By the medium Of song
the child learns it is Jack Frost who
makes the pumpkins golden and ripens
the nuts. That two and two are four
is learned in some simple game. The
new system is to SO interest the child
that he finds school days a pleasure
instead of a drudge. Now the children
rush home to tell of the happy events
of the school day. The modern teacher
gets closer to the heart OF the child.
The new theory is that the child will
readily absorb knowledge If placed in
the proper atmosphere. The teacher
becomes a guide to the palpitatins
energy Of the modern child In the
school room The old days Of driving
the children from first grade into high
school are over. A good education is
required Of the modern teacher, but II
can no longer be confined to cook
learning. The teacher must under
stand the heart Of the child.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES,

st. Louis brewer who recently died
and was reputed to be worth from
s5o.oOo,ooo to 100000 900. gave $780,

the average man to give cents" says

The tea cheers Of Iowa who are in
convention assembled in Des Moines
this week are to be congratulated,
along with the rest Of the state, upon
the prospect for their profession" says
the Des Moines Tribune. There are
vital reasons why 1t should be on a
footing with law and medicine, as a
profession 1t already commands the
brains to fix that high standard, and
with Intelligent legislation soon will
gain its rightful place."
Iowa husking returns are better
then expected, 1t was ever thus" says
the Des Moines Capital.
The Sioux City Journal says there
is strong public sentiment against
such offenses against morality as are
involved in the Mann act prosecutions.
The way TO make such sentiment effsc-
tive is TO increase the state penalty for
the crime and have it applied by the
usual police power. ins,ead Of trying to
Increase the state penalty for a mis-
demeanor by prosecuting it under a
federal law"
The need for mothers pension law
does not exist in Iowa TO so great an
extent in other states with their
congested population centers and their
poverty" says the Cedar Rapids Ca
zette. But if there are only a few
cases where the county should help
deserving widows with small children
the law is worth while"

1 Significant Endorsement.

We are reliably informed that the
mention of the name of former
State Senator William F. Apple
garth at the county convention of
the various local branch organiza-
tions of the Oyster Protective AS
sociations was greeted with great
applause. which seemed almost
unanimous The oystermen of this
county are aroused as they have
never been before in the history of
oyster legislation; they realize that
an attempt has been made to take
away their livelihood from them;
they know that however Jealous in
their behalf different ones have
claimed to be in the past, that
their rights to natural oyster bot
toms have been taken away from
them. In consequence of this fact,
it is not surprising that they should
almost unanimously, without re-
gard to political utilization, turn
to the one man in the State who
so long as he had the opportunity,
battled successfully in their be-
half.
The endorsement given to Mr..
Applegarth the other evening was
no partisan act; it was the generous
acknowledgement of hundreds and
thousands of the best citizens of
the State of the heroic struggle
which he successfully made for
them years ago, and spontaneous
call that he should resume his ac-
tivities in their behalf, and endea-
vor to get back for them that which
has been lost in recent years, name
ly, the natural bars of this county
and of the State.

James DullOn Removed to Bal
timOre City Jail.

James Dutton, a young negro
man, who on Monday, July %, COM
mitted an assault, with intent to
rape, upon Miss Marguerite ellis,
after waving a preliminary hearing,
was sent to the Baltimore city
jail, by the States Attorney, on
the Eastern Shore Development
Company's steamer, yesterday even
ing, and he will be held in Balti-
more until called for by the Dor
chester county authorities
This negro is accused of the I'M
spcakable crime, the worst in tile
criminal catalogue; his victim is
modest, noble and beautiful girl,
just crossing the threshold of wo-
mani oud, a daughter of respected,
unoffenGing and law-abiding people.
1t is crime that threatens the
complete destruction of the safety
and security of women, and its
commission was accompanied by all
the brutal and beastly atrocity with
which this terrible crime is always
associated. The evidence discloses
that it was cunningly planned, the
place of its occurrence being in d
woods, and en- a lane infrequently
used.
While all confidence is reposed
N the loyalty of the people of this
county to law and order, yet this
crime is one that so shocks public
decency and safety, that the peo-
pie might become so transported in
their rage as to take the law in
their own hands and thereby plot
the fair escutcheon of this county,
that has never had a lynching, and
with the further reason that the
county jail is not a safe place for
the security of such prisoner, on
account of the possibility of escape,
the States Attorney thought it
best to remove this man to Balti-
more.

Washington, July 30.-The great

examiner of the Interstate Com

This charge of monopoly was
made and a tale of petty persecu-

The hearing was before Examiner
c. r. Marshall.
Washington is concerned directly
in the case because one of the
principal points at issue is joint
rate from this city to Ocean City,
Nd, via Annapolis and Claiborne.
The suit is directed specifically
against the Baltimore, Chesapeake
and Atlantic Railway Co., a sub
sidiary of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.
Evidence was given in the hear
ing begun today that the Balti-
more. Chesapeake and Atlantic
holds its trains for hours to meet
its own boat, but that in spite of
repeated promises to the contrary,
will not wait for the Eastern Shore
Co.'S boats.
The monopoly of the Pennsyl-
vania interests in the Eastern
Shore" said President Mcintosh,
who was the principal witness for
the complaining Company, sis not
only a monopoly as monopolies go,
but it is the greatest in the Unit
ed States. Save ours, it has OBJ
tai2ed control of every railroad
and steamboat line that serves this
territory. Some extraordinary
stories are told as to how it OBJ
tained control of some of these
lines.

Before Mr.. Mcintosh testified he
put on the stand the ticket agent
OF his line at Claiborne. This wit
ness testified that between March |
15 and May 80 the train at CIai-
borne was held for the Chesapeake |
and Atlantic's boat about 20 times, |
varying from two minutes to two
hours, but that on the evening of |
March 8 the Eastern Shore boat |
arrived and locked one-half minute |

out for Ocean City, leaving the
passengers standing on the tracks. !
Mr.. Mcintosh read correspondence
between himself and Capt. Willard |

One of Mr.. Thompson's letters
showed that his company has de-

pany is to be determined by the
length of time estimated it will take
it to dock after it has been sight

Alfalfa is the ideal pasture crop
for hogs. Divide the field in three
or four parts and pasture each only
few days at time. This enables
the plants to grow undisturbed most
of the time and gives the hogs fresh
tender pasture all the time. The
change is better for both the pas
ture and the swine
