THE SEPTEMBER GARDEN.

Were there no other calenders we
should know by the garden that Sep
| tember is at hand. For this enclosure
keeps faithful tally OF the passing
months. In the spring Il sent it's in
cense up from the expectant clod. and
during June and July much mysteri-
Gus business was astir. The young
shoots broke the earth and peeped out
Presently the fiowery banners and
tassels. floating in the breeze, marked
summer in full tide.
And now the garden. faithful To fts
! schedule, heralds September. It Is
somewhat faded and worn from the
summers toll. Its children are dry
and tanned from long exposure TO the
sun. The coarser wayslde flowers now
appear.
Goldenrod, thistles, fireweed and
mulieins bespeak the passing of sum-
mer Weeds fiaunt themselves far and
wide. Delicacy and freshness OF bloom
give place TO mass and ripeness. The
earlier prophetic aromas Of the burst
ing sod give way to heavier odors OF
rlpened clover and Full checked cranes
and plume. But the flower fragrance
- A'hRt - NV AAOA Y OtAAAlUuH IMAM the
concentrated sweetness of ripe berries
and fruits.
The garden, In every nook and cor
ner, declares that summers full tide
has reached its climax and is turning
the corner. A strange Tranquility
crowns the rush and hurry Of the mast
few weeks. The sap no longer mounts
In ecstasy. a quiet dream-haze weayes
it's kindly veil over the landscape. The
acorns drop upon the roof, and the
leaves droop in the stiffness.
Nature has done her summers work
She has put In her best efforts. She
now pauses, dreams and meditates. She
rlpens and hardens. She concentrates
and perfects. She rounds and mellows
She glazes and polishes. She gathers
her colors into deeper and more varied
hues. Into the green background she
blends brown and red, yellow, russet
and tan in endless and delicate prof11-
sion.
Even the birds seem to feel the
strange transition. Their chorus of
sound ebbs into a soft. purring. pulls
ing monotone. The insects tune their
1arps and fill their twilight hours with
a low hum and buzz. The nesting
haunts are abandoned by the migra-
tory birds. who now drift through the
woods in fiocks or bands, as if survey
ing the fields for a long flight.
Inc garden may not be all that IL
promised in June. 1t had TO contend
with dryness and intense heat. In spite

PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT..

The Directors of Public Safety agalr
are considering ways and means OF
establishing a paid fire department
in this City. The public, after wit
Messing the late fiasco in which all
plans were disrupted, eagerly awaits
news which will truly tell of con-
structive effort being made by these
gentlemen in the city's behalf.
The community is now being served
by the volunteer firemep, working
under a contract which expires in De-
cember. Owing to the rather unusual
circumstances which have attended
the efforts TO establish the paid de-
partment, we believe that the public
viii be justified in hoping that tho
new regime win commence befor,
Christmas. The delay In these de.
partment plans is not reacting else
where to the credit OF Wilmington.
We believe that the gentlemen COM
posing the Department OF Public
Safety appreciate the late error which
brought upon their heads much criti-
cism. They believed that they were
acting in the right, and they felt that
they were serving Wilmington To tho
best OF their ability. Whatever criti-
cism was made OF their past actions
should be forever buried. They aro
zealously working I'm our behalf
and il they make no blunders. they
should receive commendation from
their fellow citizens. II is to be hoped
that their labors will bear good fruit

THE TRAINED NURSE.

DIR. Charles H. Mayo of Rochester
MIMI, one of Americas most noted
surgeons, has an article on 9TH.
Trained Nurse" published in the chr.
rent issue of The Pictorial Rev,aw
which may cause much discussion.
DR.. Mayo attacks what he ca,,s
the nurses union" and declares tbs,
IT is one Of the most autocratic bodies
IN the country. Furthermore. he saws
that the nurses educational reau;ro-
ments have gone beyond reason ue
believes that any normal young woman
can learn her profession in less ti,,o
than is now devoted to the nursing
cause in many hospitals.
But 1t is when he begins to discuss
wages that DR.. Mayo attracts most
interest. He plainly says that 81 for
hours service lis more than ex-
orbitant; it is prohibitive."
Many of his readers will agree with
that assertion, if they have paid that
scale; not all nurses receive that
sum. OF course the nurses have
a perfectly good reply. They can
point to their rigorous years of
training; they can show the dan
ger which they themselves nm
dergo in handling contagious casas
Not the least point on their side is tho
fact that all too frequently their worl,
is not continuous. The nurse who
mas case today may have none for
week or more. In that period Of on
forced idleness her income is at .
standstill. All this can be said fo, +ha
nurses.
But what Of the patients. who arc
the real victims of these cir
cumstances. Next to death itself u
ness today is probably the greatest
calamity which can befau the fa,,,,,,
oi average means. The physicians
bill is the least consideration In
certain way we feel sorry for him. for
the hospital and the nurse nearly .,
ways extract payment in full. while
the physician tempers his charge 10
the lamb, already pretty well shorn bv
the time those two have finished with
him. We have it on the word of an
oid-fashioned family doctor that not
infrequently he charges a fee smaller
than the wage paid the nurse who
cares for the patient.
But what is the remedy for this
situation which makes illness some
thing TO be feared more than Hades
of the Hereafter? DR.. Mayo recon-
mends the organizing and training of
100000 nurses who will not be forced
TO take an elaborate course of instruc-
ton and whose fees will not be as
high as those Of the graduate nurses
OF today. He insinuates that they
could be as proficient as the present
class of nurses.
In the meanwhile, all sensible folk

COURAGE.

What is courage but the VIII
To do the noblest thing,
To meet what comes Of good or i'll
And play the man and soldier still
Though hurt and failure sting.
What is courage, but belief
That good shall crown the strife.
That disappointment hours are briei
And out of bitterness and grief
Men come 20 larger life.
What is courage, but the sum
OF all that men have learned.
The songs OF voices long since dumb
The call of freedoms stirring drum
The shackles men have spurned.
What Is courage. but the grace
To meet life's trials well.
To bring the splendor Of your race
To duties grim or commonplace
Until the final bell.

THE LEADER.

Some boys were playing follow the
leader The leaders pranhs were in

he jumped into a muddy ditch Then
one Of the boys refused to follow suit.
He was taunted by his companions and
jeered as a coward. The boy stood
his ground and told them with all the

of his youthful convictions that he did
not see why he should jump in the

HYSTERIA.

One Ledoux, who, according TO
George Gray Barnard. the eminent
sculptor, is a religious visionary, at
tempted to auction jobless men in
New York City. Ledoux was the vic
tim of hysteria. Police authorities,
not being able to arrest him for any
specific offence. forbade him to hold
his auction. Ledoux obeyed. saying
that he did not wish to cause public
disturbance.
However. Ledoux. and group of
old women banded together in The
Grandmother's Club, did go into one
of the parks, and start to give away
free meal tickets TO the jobless. Le-
doux by that time had recovered from
his hysteria. But the police had be-
come infected. They feared that the
feeding of hungry men might start
revolution. II is better, they rea-
soned. that hungry men should starve
than that some one should All their
bellies with food. So the police rode
into the crowd, and used their night
sticks with dreadful effect.
This action by the police did not
pass unnoticed by the New York news
papers. The Evening Post. said to be
J. p. Morgan's sheet, which certainly
cannot be accused of favoring any
sort of radicalism. denounced the New
York police In strong terms. Said
the Post: New York police have sell
dom given more finished exhibition
OF what they can do to create disorder
than they staged yesterday" The New
York World. always Jealous in pro-
tecting the rights of the masses.
stated: IF hunger is a crime. If the
existence of unemployment can be
disproved by clubbing the unemployed.
such action may be wise and neces-
sary. Until such perverse doctrine is
established and erected into public
policy, The World will continue to be-
heve that disorder is more likely to
be caused than prevented. more in
danger of being heightened than al
layed, by Cossack methods on the
part of the police"
Every Evening heartily disapproves
OF hysteria on the part of anyone
whether he be religious visionary or
police chief. We think no good can
possibly come of auctioning iobless
men to curious public, in New York
CITY, Boston, or any other place. But
at the same time we think much harm
VIII result from the police preventing
hungry men from being given meal
tickets in quiet and orderly manner
Very fortunately, New York City,s
police force is not copied by all
municipalities. What happens in N
j. c. does not necessarily have TO han
pen in Philadelphia. Wilmington or
San Francisco. But the New York
case should be warning to all police
chiefs elsewhere. There is no occa-
sion to martyrize and persecute inno-
cent men whose only crime against
society is that of having an empty
belly. Why fan the flames Of radi- !
calism by prosecuting them?
The New York police force did an ex-
ceiient thing when it cured Ledoux Of
his hysteria and prevented him from,
holding his auctions. But the New
York police force did very unwise
thing when it inoculated itself with
that same social virus.
