HOOPER UP.

With Hooper up in the ninth here after it will be signal to "Whoop her up." For, when Hooper clutches his mighty war club and steps forth to do battle as did the warriors of old there is bound to be bloodshed, sure to be worlds sent topsy-turvy- ing throughout the firmaments, sure to be championships decided. Whoop- CT her up then for Hooper upon whose brow hangs the laurel wreath. For, if Duffy Lewis, that gallant young slugger, will but step aside for a moment, there is no one in the United States today but will affirm 1t was Hooper's home run in the ninth inning of that fateful and f1tful strug- gle yesterday which brought home the bacon and beans to Boston and left poor old Philadelphia in the van with only the hope that in 1916 with Bryan and the others it might still poles. Because of that terrific wall lop in the ninth, that clash of bat and ball, that winging of an immacu- late spheroid through the etherial re- gions to parts unknown, we are left today without the joy and thrill that comes to those who dangle on the end of a wire to await the returns. It is all over. A spirit of depression hangs over those who pinned their faith on the stalwart athletes led by the old Roman, Patricius Moran, a smile of joy perm eates the very at mosphere that surrounds those who lent their moral support to the Clan Carrigan. There is joy in the land governed by Honey Fitz,'' there is gloom in the camp of that stafd old warrior Blankenberg. Yet, withal, it was a gallant defeat, an admirable victory. Harking back to the days of poor old Ed. Delehanty and the other masters of swat no one could have joyed in more home runs than marked the close of the series of 1915. The games were all decided by such slen- der margins, the teams proved so we'll matched, the pitching so even, it in- deed took home runs to decide the championship. And foreseeing that home runs and such were needed to defeat the warriors from Father Penn's city, the Honorable MT. Car rigan had his heavy artillery we'll pre- pared Thus do We see the value of looking ahead.

The Corn and the Gamer.
(Rrideenort Standardl

We consider the corn crop as some thing peculiar to and associated with the agricultural West, although New at fairs where quality and quantity to the acre have been among the elements of the competition. But there is a kind of corn that New England continues to raise and in which she is able to hold her own against all corners. That is the sweet corn that is used in canning, great quantities of which are con- stunned annually all over the country
 Maine is one of the states that can corn to a great extent; and that, like her potato raising is something on which she brides herself greatly The Maine Corn Packers association han dies very large amounts of canned corn and great care is taken in the work. The raising of fine qualities Is encouraged by prizes and this year the association gives $2.525 for the best sweet corn raised in the season of 1916. Many of the competitors are boys who are very skilful in the business, preserving the best seed and getting the finest qualities of corn The field corn of the West, and corn of commerce, is not fit for canning and it is not fit for the table at any stage of it's development; although some of the marketmen who supplv city people sometimes seem to think that their customers do not know the difference.

lures at Harvard each year and is listed as a professor of comparative legislation is analogous. MT. Stim- son is entitled to be known as Prof" Stimson. Yet. outside academic circles" is he ever so designated?
 In the older British universities oracular professional teaching of the German sort has never been in favor, and many of the ablest scholars have only held positions in their respective colleges as tutors or fellows. A man is appointed to a professorship for a term of years, but an elevation to that position does not cause him to be called Prof. So-and-so." Tn the modern English universities, where they wear learning somewhat less lightly than in the ancient institutions. the practice would seem to be more akin to that of America. At all events. few subjects are without their professorships. Nowadays the dis tnction between Prof" and plain MT" is rather acute in our schools and colleges. It s'partly a matter of academic distinction. but it also has an economic basis in the scale of salaries.

In voting to recommend recogni- tion of General Carranza's government as the de facto government of Mexico the Pan-American conferees merely returned to the plain paths of sound diplomacy and practical statesman ship. For more than two years while President Wilson was applying his fantastic policies in Mexico, other paths were being travelled. The tra- ditions of American policy were ig- nored and the normal attitude of our government toward neighboring American republic-unhappily torn by revolution-was reversed and pervert- ed.-New York Tribune.

Emotion And Disease.
(Waterbury Democrat.)

Dr. Grille, a distin guiShed Cleveland surgeon who has been spending sev- eral months in the French army hos pitals, reports to the New York Aca- denny of Medicine that the mere emo- tional strain of war is found to be
 responsible not merely for nervous disorders, but for great numbers of
 cases of neurasthenia, Bright's dis
 ease and diabetes. It is something
 new to be told categorically that dis
 agreeable emotions may cause or
 ganic diseases. The new thought
 teachers, not to mention the Chris
 tian Scientists, have been teaching
 this very thing for years, but the
 medical profession has heretofore
 gives little sanction to the doctrine.
 The general public has long had
 more or less definitely this same mo-
 tion that a patients feelings have
 great deal to do with his health
 And as a matter of fact, the doctors
 have, too, even when they repudiated
 the idea. The wise and successful
 practitioner has usually been a man
 who studied his patients psychology
 as well as their physique, and saw
 to it that conditions causing mental
 unrest were removed as far as pos
 sible. They have practiced, too, in
 their own persons, the mental heal ing" that they have felt obliged to repudiate professionally. If the frank admissions of some of them are to be trusted, they have worked far more cures by dispensing cheerfulness and confidence than. by administering drugs or prescribing dietett0 rules. From Dr. Crile's assertion that men tai states cause serious ailments, it seems to be only step to the con- clusion that opposing mental states may cure them. At least the infer ence is unavoidable that pleasant emotions are just as wholesome in their physical effects as horrible emotions are injurious. Perhaps if the drug dispensers and the mental headers could meet each other half way and agree on a compromise sys- tenn for. treating disease, it would be better for everybody concerned.

 ''The story is told in the form of diary kept by the young bride, who after a life of ease and luxury and European travel settles down in a shack in the Canadian northwest She rises gallantly to the occasion, makes home out of the lonely two roomed shack, learns to pick out tunes on a mouth organ, as a substitute for grand opera, and in general, in spite of sup Crficialities, proves herself a dauntless pioneer.

 Trail of the hawk, by Sinclair Lewis
 "The hero, Carl Ericson, was one of those typical Americans of the northwest, a second generation Nor wegian, as typical in his way of what this land can produce as any May flower descendant.
 Although it is primarily story, it nevertheless emphatically awakens the reader to a realization of the mes sage and the mission of America. MT. Lewis makes his hero extremely genuine and the incidents of his life very plausible. He writes in a style that is no less graceful than it is free and easy, and his knoWledge of the scenes depicted is obviously obtained at rst-hand.''-Boston Transcript.
