Delaware must havo one peach crop that is not a failure. Secretary Taft will spend the com ing week In Washington, renewing ac quaintance with other officials of the War department. Housekeepers In a Kentucky town have been finding minnow in the milk. Dairymen should be at least required to use strained water.

President Roosevelt is said to have material on hand for a dozen new books. He must be going to tell what he said to Harrlman. Wo might get even with W. T. Stead by sending John Temple Graves or Senator Tillman over to tell the Brit ish how to mind their own business. At this season of the year physicians reap their harvest from the men who threw their woolen shirts in the dis card on the first warm day in April. Senator Tillman says that Booker Washington Is one negro in 10,000, 000. By the same token Senator Till maa la one white man in 80,000,000. The Wisconsin senatorial deadlock Is still on. It may yet have to be broken by giving the people a chance to say at the ballot box who should be named. Mrs. Yerkes-Mizner has brought alt for an absolute divorce. Mr. Mlx ner will doubtless file a cross-bill ask ing for alimony and the right to re sume his maiden name. All these spectacular seizures of brewery property In Kansas only go to prove how far the claim of the pro hibitionists Insisting all the time that prohibition really prohibits was founded on fiction. The Japs have proved an alibi. Charged with sketching the American fortifications in Manila, they have cited official reports to show there are no American fortifications In Manila. Still. It made a good story at the time. The Steel trust's net earnings for the first three months of the year were 189.000,000, and Its unfilled orders amount to more than 8,000,000 tons. The Steel trust ought to feel strong enough pretty soon to stand promotion from the infant Industry class. Early readjustment of through pas senger rates to conform with the I -cent far laws of the different state traversed Is promised. If all the states had attached emergency clauses to their 2 -cent fare laws so as to put them Into effect at once, the readjustment of through rates would havo been accom plished by this time. " ' ' ( FHTSICAL TALCATIUIT OF RAILROADS, Gathering signs of the times augur a movement culminating in the next congress for a physical valuation of 111 the railroad property of the United States to be made originally, or at least confirmed, by some duly author ized federal officer or commission. The mere suggestion by Senator LaFol lette of providing for such a physical valuation of railroad property In con nection with the rate regulation bill at the time the latter was pending a year ago met with Immediate and un compromising resistance on the part of the railroad champions and yet in dications are not wanting that the very proposal then rejected will be sought snd advocated by its former opponents. The changed attitude of the railroad managers on this subject is naturally calculated to cause surprise, but It Is no more surprising than the change evinced by the same railroad magnates appealing to President Roosevelt to save them from adverse state legisla tion by extending the scope and opera tions of the Interstate Commerce com mission under the rate law they pre viously denounced as calamity-bearing and unconstitutional. The fact Is that Intelligent railroad men who are not blinded by their own prejudice see much more to be gained for them from an authoritative valuation of their property than is to be lost. Seeing the handwriting on the wall fore shadowing legislation to prohibit fu ture watering of stocks and bonds, they are anxious to have the valuation of their outstanding securities placed upon a firm foundation now while prices are up t and construction cost high rather than wait for prosperity to recede and reduce the value level of their property. If they can secure for their stocks and bonds recognition of substantial ingredients and a mini mum of wateriby having the physical valuation made now, they will have a standard established as a rate-making basis which will hold up future earn ings and steady the stock market quo tations. As against these advantages the only point at which the railroads are likely to suffer lies in the matter of taxation, because a good, stiff valuation of phys ical property supporting capitalization will at once be reflected In the assess ments for taxation. The railroads, however, could well afford to pay taxes upon a higher assessment, if by so do ing they fix present valuations as the minimum rate-making basis. Eecause, however,. the railroads may soon ask for an official physical valua tion which they formerly opposed, af fords no good reason why anyone for merly favoring It In spite of railroad opposition should favor It any. less. The disposition of the American peo ple as a whole is to be perfectly fair with the railroad magnates and mana gers and thorough information as to the value of railroad property will go a long way toward settling many other controversies. The work of valuation is a stupendous task, which cannot be accomplished in a week or a month, but when once' done It should go far toward reconciling the vital conflicts between the railroads and the people. I MEDICAL EDUCATION AKD PRACTICE. The layman whose assortment of ali ments sustains the medical profession may be pardoned for discussing the need of better educational and prac tical equipment for physicians, In view of the assertion made by Dr. W. T. Means, chairman of the Judicial coun cil of the Association of American Medical Colleges, that of the 4,000 doctors graduated annually from our medical colleges at least 8,000 are -utterly Incompetent to practice. At a conference of the council Just held In Chicago Dr. Means made an elaborate report, buttressed by statistics, In which appears this statement: The average man who qualifies as a med. leal practitioner ta deficient In knowledge of bacteriology, chemistry, physiology, anatomy. I doubt If he could make a laboratory test for typhoid fever.' Astonishing and alarming as Dr. Means' report may appear on the sur face, the fact remains that a remark ablo advance In the methods and re quirements Of medical education has been made In the last few years andN the report Itself is an assuring evi dence that American medical colleges are adopting more and more stringent regulations to eliminate the Incompe tent and Illiterate practitioner. Only a few years ago the country was over- supplied with alleged medical colleges that turned loose two or three classes of so-called physicians each year to practice upon the country. Many states have passed laws making the operation of such institutions impos sible and the entire tendency Is to lessen the facilities of fake Institutions for flooding the country with quacks and charlatans. The American Medical association is now striving to make it impossible for a student to receive a diploma from a medical college until he has received a collegiate training or a course of study that will give him the mental training and discipline so essential to success in medical practice. It is pro posed to lengthen the minimum course of study and to Include In it other cul tural work that will equip the gradu ate with an Intellectual authority ob tainable only after broad schooling. The public will approve the efforts of Cie medical college faculties In thus lnslavlng upon more thorough prepa ration; by aspiring medical students. The colleges, the medical profession add the public will all profit by any plan that will raise the standard of the medical graduate. The country has suffered enough f rom the halt- baked species In all the professions snd will welcome any effort that ad vances educational and ethical Stand ards in any profession. THE DOLLAR AKD THE MAS. A fine Illustration of the higher re lation between employer and employed Is furnished by the Incident at Johns town, Pa., where seven miners were Imprisoned underground by a sudden rush of water. As soon as the acci dent was reported the great coal com pany by which they were employed set about to effect a rescue. Every en ergy was enlisted in the work, which was directed by the engineering skill of the company's experts and net for an instant, night or day, did the effort relax. Special pumps were hurriedly Installed and the battle was carried on with breathless rush, the one Idea be ing to save the lives of the men below. The tapping on an air pipe brought news to the men on the surface that the men below still lived and taps from above carried cheer to the pris oners. The companions of the en tombed men worked with tireless zeal and the corporation afforded every means of assistance money could com mand. After 100 hours of steady work the men were reached and brought alive to the surface. Common humanity? Yes, but a finer grade of humanity than the ora cles of discontent would have us be lieve exists. Much as has been said of the dollar being placed above the man, this incident is merely one more in a long list that shows that when the real emergency arrives the dollar us ually takes a place in the rear, and the man geta the first consideration. The episode may bo soon forgotten in the succession of other events, but It is not likely that the men who work In the coal mines around Johnstown will en tirely overlook the fact that the coal company stopped at nothing to save the lives of its employes when in Im minent deadly peril. It Is a bright mark in the higher relations of em ployer and employed. THE KMFE REDIVIWS. People of the west have never thought of the folks In Maine as lead ing in the march of innovations and progress in modes of living, but some Maine people appear to believe they have become Jaded and must return to the simple life. An organization, or sect, has been formed In one of the Maine towns which has for Its chief aim the restoration of the table knife to its former place as the chief article of utility at meal time. The society proposes to push its propaganda, not by championing the use of the knife direct, but by bringing the fork Into disrepute and scandal. We quote this excerpt from a long statement by" one of the apostles of the new cult to prove that the fork Is a menace to health: Forks become clotted with food between the tinea. When the time oomea to wash them after the completion of a meal they are soaked In the water and then wiped dry. The result la that amall lumps of food remain between the tinea whera the dishcloth cannot reach them. They are not noticeable and do not attract the at tention, but they are capable of carry ing dlaense from one person to another among the members of a family and throughout an entire community. Passing over what the Maine house wife, who (would rather be charged with heresy than with uncleanllness In her kitchen, thinks of this arraign ment, It Is worth while to discuss, briefly, the dangers attendant upon efforts to make the Maine plan uni versal. A man was once nominated for lieutenant-governor of Colorado because of his achievement at a ban quet in eating French peas with a knife and never dropping a pea, but he was an elderly man, a Burvlvor of the old Bchool and expert by years of practice. The present generation has been so busy with other affairs that it has forgotten the possibilities of the knife and remembers only Its limit ations. The citizen of today has an Inborn prejudice against involuntary surgical operations and sneerlngly refers to the party who eats with his knife as a "sword swallower." The country Is going to be slow to accept the new re form. Maine's motto Is "I Direct," but the several millions of people outside of Maine who have been taught that the use of the knife as a food carrier Is not quite "respectable" will hesitate about following Maine's direction. The Innovation may be accepted in Arkan sas and in some parts of Missouri, but the rest of the country will continue to risk the alleged unsanitary fork. TIMBER FAMISH IX 81QHT. The forestry division of the Depart ment of Agriculture has Issued a pamphlet relating to the timber and lumber supply of the nation, with con clusions that must be positively alarm ing to those who consider the question of the future timber supply of the country snd the result of a lumber famine upon the building and other commercial Interests. The figures how that the country Is consuming three times as much timber each year as the forests grow. The per capita use of timber in America is six. times that of any of the European countries. Since 1880 this country has cut more than 700,000, 000,000 feet of timber for lumber alone. The forest of Michigan, Wiscon sin and the other states along the Great Lake have practically been de nuded and the country must now de pend for It supply upon the Paclfio coast state and a fw southern tate. In these, lumbermen. In a very frenzy of desperation, are felling forest to meet the existing demand at high prlcen, without, a thought of the fu ll re. The United State promise to soon be In the position Germany found Itself 160 years ago, when the country was faced by a timber famine. The Ger man government took prompt and rad ical action, passing laws which made It a felony to cut down a tree without planting another and providing strict regulations for the protection and preservation of forests. Germany has demonstrated that by scientific and conservative treatment of the problem recovery may be made from the effects of recklessness in forest destruction. One-fifth of the forest area of the United States la embraced In the forest reserve system and the government proposes to take every step possible to stop waste and increase the growth of every acre of forest we have. In no other way can an Increase of the tim ber famine, already being felt, be pre CHURCH ATTEX DA&CE AKD1XFLVESCE Bishop Satterlee of Washington and Rev. Thaddeus A. Snlvely, rector of St. Chrysostom's Episcopal church of Chicago, have both taken rather radical positions within the week on the question of church influence and church attendance. In an address to a conference of Episcopalian clergy, Bishop Satterlee made the astonishing declaration that the Influence of the church Is on the decline, but that the Influence of Jesus Christ was steadily Increasing, due not so much to the churches as to the Bible, which is put into the hands of the masses, who are doing their own thinking. The bishop cited the decrease In church attend ance as evidence of the decline of church Influence. Dr. Snlvely did not go as far as Bishop Satterlee, but he resigned the pastorate of his church, one of the richest in Chicago, with a public statement, in which he said: The principal reason why I am leaving Is because of the appalling drain on the attendance caused by the social fads of the hour automoblllng, golfing and coun try outings generally. Everybody knows there la a steady decline all along the so cial fabric in church-going and the enthu siasm for church work. It aeema that the whole world Is becoming pleasure mad. Where or when it will end nobody knows. First It waa the bicycle fad, then Sunday ball playing, then golf, and now it la au tomoblllng, plus golf and Sunday house parties. Whether my parish has been harder hit by these fads than other par ishes or districts Is more than I can say with absolute certainty, but am strongly Inclined to think so. Students of social conditions in Amer ica will be slow to agree with either Bishop Satterlee or Dr. Snlvely that the decline in church attendance re flects a decline in church Influence. Statistics show that In the United States today one of every five persons belongs to the church. One hundred years ago less than 50,000 children were enrolled in the Sunday schools of the country, whereas today the Sun day school army numbers 30,000,000 children, with 3,000,000 officers and teachers. Add to this the hospital work and charitable associations, under church auspices, the Young Men's Christian associations and Young Women's Christian associations, with the Epworth league, the Christian En deavor and the scores of similar or ganizations directly associated with the active or supplemental work of j the churches, and the alarm expressed j by Bishop Satterlee over the decline 1 of church influence must be set down as exaggerated. ' The matter of church attendance is i another story, affected by conditions that may in no way be connected with church influence. The spirit of the times may Impel men to see what they can get put of the church Instead of what they may give to It by their wor ship. Their failure to receive more than they give may account for lack of attendance upon church services without In any degree lessening their respect for the church or their aid in extending its Influence. Dr. Snlvely's complaint is more easily explained. The rush, tension and artificiality of city life forms an almost Irresistible stimulus for the city dweller to rush back to the soli on the Sabbath, his only day of freedom, to get away from the dally grind and association with familiar faces, to get the recreation, the recharging of health and buoyancy that comes from contact with nature, to. attend church In the groves God's first temples and find the way "up through nature's heart to nature's God." Governor Sheldon has notified the members of all state Institutions that they will be held strictly accountable for any expenditures requiring de ficiency appropriations. This order alms at something most people have been unable heretofore to grasp, namely, why certain state Institutions, when denied legislative appropriation for which they have asked, should be allowed to go ahead and contract the obligation and by so doing compel the next legislature to make the appropria tion against Its will.

Railroad Rates and Postage. The Pathfinder. The railroads are fighting with tooth and nail the laws being pushed In various states to limit fares to Z cents a mile; they declare with tears in their eyes that If they cut fares they will lose money. And yet when Uncle Sam reduced letter post ago from S cents a half ounce to 2 vents an ounce the receipts soon Jumped enough to more than make up. Let It Be Settled. Washington Post' As we understand It, President Roose velt's poaltlon la much like this: With a supplemental act prohibiting further wa tering of railroad capital atocka, the chas ing of the railroad octopus will be a closed Incident In congress, leaving It to the Inter state Commerce commission and the De partment of Justice to see that the lawa are enforced. It win be a happy day when this railroad question Is entirely out of politics. Tedious Criminal Trials. Chicago Chronicle. Is every part of this country the fedtous nasfe of criminal trials la forcing tile con clusion that Its criminal procedure must be reformed or must break entirely down. In Chicago It was the Shea trial. In New Tork It was the Thaw trial. In San Fran cisco it is the Ruef trial. In all three cases the well known guilt of the defendants, which ahould cause a short trial and a ver dict of some kind. Is the cause of an al- 1 most interminable one. This country. It la true, ought not to be like England, but it is not agreeable to have American trials laughed at in the home of the common law. SHCILAR SHOTS AT THE PIXPIT. Portland Oregon lan: Two New York min isters have gotten Into trouble with their churches because they went Into the dis orderly part of town to atudy sociological problema. They forgot the Instruction of St. Paul, "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are Just, whatsoever thinga are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever thinga are. of good report, if there be any virtue and If there be any praise, think on these." There are sociological prob. lema outside of the aluma. Chicago Chronicle: Every man haa a right to bla opinions In religious matters and If a Christian Science lecturer deems Mra. Eddy a greater personality than Jesus Christ he has a perfect right to say ao. Th only question la aa to the expediency of such uttenaxtees. Rightly or wrongly, a majority of people In this country enter tain the conviction, mora or lesa pro nounced, that Jesus Christ was the greatest figure that the world has ever seen and they believe this irrespective of their opinion aa to his divinity. To undertake summarily to controvert that belief la not the way In which converts to Christian Science will b made. ' Th transition 1 too sudden.
