HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.

We are glad to note. says The Journal
of the American Medical Association, a
spirit of protest in various parts of the
4 United States against all the forces,
social and athletic. which tend to deter
| iorate the American boy Cor girD at the
adolescent age OF the high school period.
One health officer has recently made a
public announcement that proper eXer-
else IN a well-equipped gymnasium,
under the guidance of trained in
structor. is good for any one, but that
competitive athletics, requiring most
strenuous exertion. long and tedious
| training and self-denial. Is positively
bad for any one before full development
and that all such overacts tend 10 i'm
pair the keenness of the mind and inter-
/ fere with school work proper, as well as
/ to injure the body. The competitive in
terscholastic games which require great
should be done away with and good
gymnasium, under the direction of one
! trained in physical culture, should be
! provided and work according to the
=, condition and need of each pupil as
| signed. We agree further. that mild
and well-tirled athletic exercise and oc-
(! casional social functions will tend to
relieve the monotony of school life and
| invieorate body and mind: but over
Indulgence is likely to be detrimental.
The dangers referred to are not in
significant; they are real. Prof. c. r.
Bardeen, of the University of Wiscon-
sin, has pointed cut. in connection with
the participation in athletics in his in
stitution, that the increasing amount OF
heart disease noted in this country by
Reinsurance companies and others
makes it important for the physician 10
make himself acquainted with the
chief causes responsible for these con-
ditions so that he can protect his patti
ents Over exertion in competitive
sports. especially in schoolboys, is one
factor From 10 10 per cent of fresh
men entering the state university have
|
tributable to athletic sports. This con-
dition not only keeps these students out
of college sports, but to some extent
hampers their scholastic work in col
lege.
Criticisms of this sort are never
welcomed when they contravene estab-
ljshed customs Yet there is an obvious
contradiction in directing the energies
and funds of the state toward the pre-
vention of disease and the establish
ment of habits of right living in the
| ealies. years Of our public schools. only
to permit their undoing at subsequent
period. School doctors and school
nurses in the primary departments have
come to stay for some time. at least
Why not more heaithful school customs
in later years?

q republican nominee who should OPP
pose the issue. And there arc other
states in which this question would
bring the balance Of power. The issue
is at the door. It can not DO much
longer denied. Like other great moral
issues which have made or wrecked
PARTIES it's adoption might mean tenn
porary defeat. But in the end It means
long continuance OF power.
Thus Mr.. Bryan's warning Is for the
other great party as we'll as for his
own. The moral issue is becoming the
mighty issue, the dominant issue. We
have come to a time when the party
name has ceased to be conjure word.
The real cohesiveness OF any party
of this time is the issues t! carries
and Of these issues the moral issues
are the most powerful.
Mr. Byrans secret of personal as
tendency is the secret Vt party as
tendency.

Mr.. BRyAh's WARNING.

Somebody predicted the ntner day in
a general conversation that William
Jennings Bryan would be q leader Of
democrats when Woodrow Wilson had
lapsed into an ex-president. Since Mr.
Wilson's elevation he has naturally
Bryan has occupied a secondary posi-
ton. 1t was the result of success.
Granting also that Mr.. Wilson has
justified the confidence Of his party
the fact still remains that Bryan
builded the foundations Of his sue
cess and that even as president Mr.
Wilson has mainly taken but official
precedence of Mr.. Bryan.
Seeking the secret Of R.yan's long
ascendency in his party, an ascend
ency which is of the middle west and
Of the Mississippi valley by the way, it
is to be found In the attitude of the
man toward present problems. Bryan
straight up and down on matters of
moral moment.
Here's part of the secret Of the
Bryan influence:
The democrats of the nation have
an issue to face and they may as well
prepare for IL. The liquor interests
are at bay; they are on the defensive.
They realize that they have but few
more years in which TO fatten upon
the woes Of their victims. but they
are fighting desperately and are will
ing to hold any party between them
and the fire. The democratic party can
not afford to shield the brewery, the
distillery and the saloon from the ris-
ing wrath Of determined people.
Democracy is the nations hope on po-
litical and economic questione-let it
not, by taking sides with the liquor
interests, repel those who put moral
isues first. The young men of the
country aer democratic by nature, but
they Will not submit their claims to
| political preferment to those who con-
spire against the home and everything
good-neither will they find pot house
politicians congenial party associates.
The president has set high standard
! in intelligence and morals, and the
party can not afford to lower the COL
ors to gain a temporary advantage.
Those who support depends upon sub
servience to the liquor interests dis
grace the party while they are with it,
and then leave 1t II it refuses to obey
them. They are a milestone about the
party's neck. The democratic party
is the party Of the future-ft has a
chance to enter the Promised Land
why allow the liquor interests to lead
1t away into the wilderness? Get ready
for the fight.-The Commoner
| 1t is hardly to he asserted or hoped
that his party will accept Mr.. Bryan's
program on the liquor question. How
ever II is good advice. 1t is likely that
on such an issue were 1. accepted as a
pledge that would be fulfilled honest
ly, the democratic party could carry

AS TO PAVING.
llowa City Citizen.l

The discovery that the bitulithic
paving on Iowa avenue is wearing out
in spots, after only eight years SER
vice Is one that should lead to more
careful scrutiny of paving contracts in
the future. II Is presumed that the
paving conformed to the specifications,
and that the difficulty lies in not speci-
Tying i harder rock filling, such as
granite, or similar stone If this is the
case the b!tulithic paving on the other
liar wear after the same number OF
years. One OF the chief advantages
claimed for bitulithic is that the firm
owning the patents requires rigid in
spection every day OF the surfacing
material, ard thus insures the best pos
si5le product. In the case of Iowa
avenue paving. 1t stood the wear thru
the guarantee period OF five years, and
there is apparently no recourse now.
There are many other forms of asphalt
concrete paving that are laid for a
lower price than Iowa City has been
paying for bitulithic, but the argument
had been that 1t was better to pay
more and get the really safe kind. 1t is
apparent that no kind OF paving Is safe
without expert investigation in adj
vance and expert inspection at every
stage OF the construction. 1t would
seem that Iowa City, the home of one
of the best colleges of engineering in
the west, should be able to find some
way to secure paving that will last. A
very thorough investigation OF the
whole subject Is apparently needed at
this time.

never gets himself In the attitude OF
preaching at people.
Part of It Is his hard hitting. short
word. slangy English. the language
Of the street and the market. and the
ball field.
But the real secret Of his power is
this. he hits the devil gQuarely be-
tween the eyes.
| He knows the wrong doings Of the
world at first hand and everybody
knows that he knows. and he goes
after 1t slang whang, hammer and
tongs. every time and all the time.
Many do not like his primitive the
ology That is Incidental. Many do
not like his pastures learned on the
side lines of world series. That Is
incidental. Many do not like his Ian
guage OF the street. That Is incidental.
What everybody knows Is that he is
appealing TO the rule Of right. that IL
In every human bosom, and waging an
open determined war on wrong. And
that is why he is talking to more peo-
pie day after day than any human be-
| ing ever addressed before IN the history
OF the world. That is why Chicago, and
Kansas City. and Atlanta have all been
after him within a week TO engage his
services three years ahead.
1t is idle to decry such man. He
has power because he knows the aver
| age human being, knows him from the
ground up, and because he stands for
the right. Beginning In an ophan's
home and graduating into full mans
work on the farm at 10. and getting his
post graduate on the baseball field he
| was very early informed Of the true In
wardness OF average human nature.
! He talks to the people he knows, and
he talks in the language they know.
| And here as everywhere else knowledge
is power.
| Nobody need worry that Des Moines
Is going to be injured by the Sunday
revivals. No city In the United States
need hesitate for moment about in
wiling him to come. He is doing q
great work In the world. doing II In his
way, but doing It, and he is leaving a
trail OF right influences wherever he
goes. Every city he visits is better
city for his being there. The people
are paying their debts better. they are
drinking less liquor. they are living
more at home. the children are better
dressed and better housed, the church
has better business management and
the preachers have more elbow grease.
1t will be easy enough to refine our
theology after he has gone and get
back to our polite words OF Latin de-
rivation. We can again perfect our
gestures. But we shall not as com
munity ever quite slip back to the old

at large
As to how the matter will work out
we do not care to prophesy at this
| time. Much will depend upon the de-
| velopment OF public sentiment In the
great states OF the middle west. 1t was
the rally Of these states to MCKINLEY
| in the early months Of 1895 that In our
opinion gave to the republican party
| the best national leader 1t has hsd
since Lincoln-a leader who, like CUM
Minis, had been trained for his leader
| ship thru conspicuous services IN con-
gress and In the governorship OF MS
| state. That rally to Mckinley was duo
not only to his fitness and engaging
personal qualities, nor only to these
| reasons and to that OF his obvious
availability. but also to an underlying
sense that in the middle west 10 there

err part of the country and that states
| men bred In this region are least likely
| to be swayed by their local interests

OF the whole country. II the middle
| west shall do for Cummins what II
did for Mckinley he will. like McfSin-
] ley be nominated and elected. and then
we shall onfidently hope to see MIN
as just and Wise president. IN one
respect conditions are rather more raw
orable for Cummins than they were TOT
Mckinley; for Mckinley had to win
his victories in state after state thru
state conventions and over the men
who thought they led the state. II
Cumnins has any such organised op-
position to overcome we do not YET
recognize 1t, and there have now come
into vogue In most Of the great states
presidential primary laws well suited
to assist the cause whose appeal snau
be, as McKinleys was and as Cum-
Minis habitually has been. to the sen.
timent and favor Of the people them
selves.

THE PAVING LAW.

Boone News-RepuDiican.l
Now is the time for all good citizens
with paving in front Of their lots to
do their settling and some Of them
have not done 30 without registering a
kick. There is more to pay this time
than there used to be on frontage
which can be figured UP at the con-
tract rate per square yard. Lots not
only pay the frontage but they pay for
streets over here and Intersections
over there that seem quite far fetched.
Possibly the new paving law IL all
right. We have always commended that
it was not fair to assess the pavement
entirely to the abutting property, es-
pecially the long way OF the lot. This
feature has been nicely taken care Of
by the new law which distributes the
cost OF paving equally among all the
lots In the block, no matter whether
the paving runs the long way or the
short way OF the lot.
However, there has been added the
cost Of intersections by the new law
1t seems that the cities want to slip
