The District Leader is Always Campaigning By Nelson Lloyd. W#* -0-geg0*6a-N every city in the country, wbatever party may be in power. we witness attacks on the "gang." somnetimues the gang is overwhelmed, ignominiously bcaten and thrown out of the city halls amid general execration. Then the lean years come, but it goes back to the district to prepare for other elections. The reformer appeals to reason, but corruption docs not argue. Down in the district the leader is campaign ing always. He is sending coal to the needy, hunting work for his henchmen, giving lodgng to the homeless, and bury ing the dead. His days are spent among the police stations and in the courts helping his people in their hour of trouble wi;h the law; his nights at his club, where, in his stuffy little office, he sits like a priest at confessional hearing stories of woe and pleas for assistance. He does favors. Those who receive them are likely to return them at the polls, an easy sertlement of debts. They know him. He has helped them. It is unfortunate That the reward of municipal victory should not be the honor of a public trust and the opportunity to work out high political ideals, but rather the power to fatten at the public trough. And it is unfortunate, too, that the district boss should have to bear the brunt of the attack on this system. He receives shafts that would hit harder were they aimed higher. We hear little in the campaign of the respectable gentlemen whose names adorn the di rectories of the grout corporations that urge him. These are men of the high est integrity, but of course it is no concern of theirs if the companies they di rect find it easier to do business when the city is in control of those who. in the words of the famous boss, are "working for their pockets all the time. From "In the District," in Scribner's. Certain ~* Changes Desirable in the American College By Dr. G. Stanley Hall, President of Clark University, Worcester, Mass. ODAY the individuality of the professor is obscured, and we have developed a vast array of machinery, with a president drilling his subordinates. Our professors devote too much time to the examination of the students, so that they have no time for individual work. Princeton has realized this in the adoption of the tutor system. The high school should be the people's college. They pay for it. The ideal will be when the high school says, -This is the best we can do for the average scholar," and, to the university or college, "Take him or leave him, or her," and you may be sure that they will take them. * The tendency is to standardize knowledge. so that it is like baled hay. It is put up in packages, and is discouraging food to the youth who wants To preserve his individuality. At the Leland Stanford university there is prac tically no entrance examination. The seeker for knowledge finds the gates ouen. Colleges ought to be open to every one who can profit by the privilege. That a man has read the Bible in English is a sufficient entrance examination. Now as to athletics. The one fact that does not receive the prominence it deserves is that the real article does its best work on the moral character, instilling in the player a high sense of honor. The soul of athletics should be fair play. A man may play hard on the football field and be a gentleman. In the days of Greece there was the same hazing spirit as today, and the organ ization of student societies was practically the same. and under it all was the spirit of honor among the students. Unfortunately, the purely culture studies are langttishing. The study of Greek and Latin is discouraged. In my day in every educational centre of any pretensions it wvas necessary to have an cbservatory. Every student was in terested-and thereby gained religious instrtr tion-in the wonders of God's world. Today there arec a few of the sttudents inter-estedl in the miathemiatical problems. 0~* The Danger *~ of Milk Preservatives By Mary Hinman AbeL +M+.4.. H ATTEVER difterence of opinion t here may he as to the use _______ +of small Quantities of i'reserv.atives in other foocs, phiysi jians andi hygienists arec agreed in condemning their addi ++ on to milk because it is the food of infants, and the young + *.. of different species have Dceen shown to be very susceptible + o their effect. Not only is the preservative itself probably _ harmful, but by its use the pooreSt quality of milk can be ++ '>almed off on the consumer, Dirty milk is still dirty and dangerous, even though its souring point has been artificial changed. We may be certain that neither' farmrer not' dealer- is going to use one extra pirecaut ion oi' an ounce of ice more than is needed to get his milklC to market in goodl condlition, and if he knows that he can fall back on the chemical to conceal that fatal sign ef souring, atnd thus this double burden of bad milk and the action of the preservative is laid on the digestion of the lit tle ones, who. if we may judge from the vital statistics, have a hard enough time at best to get through their first five years of life. All of the lar-ge cities initst that ye'- little preser-vative' is x.aw added to milk, yet prosper-ous-look ing agents continue to solicit, and well-infot-med people insist that immense quantities are tused. Are the Cities, with their small force of anialysts unable to make thor-ough examinations, 0or are preservatives now in tuse that are less casily detected? Certain it is that vigilant inspection diminishes the evil, and where fines do0 not deter, imprIisonment will, Still more impor-tant in re diucinlg the use of preservatives is the enforcement of sanitary regulations at the farm and the use of ice in transportation.-Delineator. *~~ '*- The ~~*~ Rights of the Cnild Asleep a"e ndb By Dr. Grace P.

Berlin, By Cable-The Reichstag has passed the first and second read ings, without amendment, of the gov ernment's proposal to extend ;ecip rocal tariff rates to the United States until June 30. 1907. Chancellor von Buelow made a statement in which he said the imperial government asked t.he Reichstag to authorize the application of the treaty rates to the United States, not as a right un der the most favored nation inter pretation, but in order that the ne gotiations pending might still be conducted to a satisfactory end and because it was in the interest of both countries to avoid a tariff wvar. The Chancellor said he placed a high value on good national relations be tween Giermany and the United States. which were a blessing in both lands, but it would deceive to believe that he would buy political friendship by the sacrifice of Ger many's economic interests. The grounds of the government's propo sal were that a tariff war, which must only be resortedl to in case of neessity. would damage . not only Germany's interests, but other im portant departments of industry. Al though the United States would be injured in exports, which had grown considerably. the advantage of such a war would rest with a third coun try. The~ ( hancellor presunably rreant Gireat Britain.
