The fact that a Nebraskan should have come east and won a prize away from our bank golf players surprises the Newark News. It understands how Connecticut ecould go west and carry off the world's prize for the best acre of corm, but how a golf cham- plon ever buflt himself up on the fron- tiers #s not clear. The editor of The News sayst “If it had been target shooting, or bronco busting, or steer roping, or corn husking, we could eas- fly understand. But golf! Why, it was only the other day that a man was lynched in Iowa for wearing golf socks, In Kansas, we hear, a person whacking at & ball on a hillside near a rallroad is a mark for bullets from every passing train; and in Dakota, as i commonly known, people with leanings toward the game are often ridden out of town on a rall as sus- plolous characters. Yet here comes a man from the heart of that wild re- !l:‘n. and puts it all over the eastern nker golfers and carries home the ‘We are too apt to overestimate the perils of golt from the ocoasional man- Htestations made at the west against It, and to underestimate the proficien- ey of the brave men who disregard public opinion and prejudice and main- tain the game. These pioneers of golf in the west are preparing the way for civilizing sports and if they excite our wonder they also should command our admiration. THE PERILS OF AN INDUSTRY. Few realize the daily perils of the workingmen until the fatalities and ac- cidents are coliected and presented in the aggregate, We do not think that & half-million are either killed or made unserviceable every year. The Amer- jcan Museum of Bafety and Sanita. tlon have this matter in hand, and its office, like those of Europe, offers op- portunity for industrialists to learn hew to avoid killing or maiming those who work In their shops, factories, mines, and so forth, and it is claimed that adoption of these suggestions might save half that industrial army from death or serfous injury and “cut litigation and damage expenses mil- lions of dollars every year.” We be- lieve that most employers are anxious to establish proper precaution for the protection of those whom they em- ploy, and as the muscum is well equipped to ald them in this purpose and ig officered by public-spirited and practical men, it is well worthy of their patronage. The defects in ma- chinery are the least contributors to thls - fearful showing, since incompe- tence, carelessness and drink are re- sponsible for, the larger part of them; but there is no doubt that the num- ber of victims per year can be greatly reduced and no paing should be spared to accomplish this end. SPRING CLEANING. This is Arbor day and Arbor day is cleaning day in most of the states where it is celebrated. The spirit of cleanliness Is abroad In the land and the Land of Steady Habits should not get behind in what counts for prog- ress and for the better health of the community and for attractiveness. A Virginie paper has this, among other things, to say of the movement south: “Bristol is situated in two states in which the clean-up movement has spread wonderfully, and from one state or the other we should imbibe the spirit, If it is not already here. Knoxville had a general cleaning day last Monday, and a few days before that Nashville cleaned up. Other cities and towns down in Tennessee “ave done or are preparing to do likewise. From up in Virginia a similar story comes, Both Norfolk and Lynchburg have recently undergone a genera] cleaningf and ere looking and feeling better. Roanoke and Danville have both had clean-up days during the past week, and within the next week or two practically every city and town of fmportance in the state will get rid of the dirt and rubbish that have been accumulating sincé last summer.” This shows that they are alive to the importance of this work at the south, and are doing it. Norwich should be at the head of the proces- sion with the “spotless towns” of Con- necticut. It is now sald that the American drummer s to use automobiles for drumming up_trade, At first theyll want to stop on the plke and tell atories | TEACH THE CHILDREN TO SWIM. This is senstble and timely advice, and should be more generally heeded than it is, Swimming is one of the most important accomplishments for girls or boys and should be as con- stantly taught as reading or writing. In some foreign countries swimming ie a part of the training of the chil- dren and they enjoy the sport and the agsurance of it. Here in America, learning to swim, until quite recently, was a you-please boys' sport, and if the boy didn't get drowned be- fore he had learned how to swim it wag a wonder. The boys’ summer camps and the Y. M. C. A. camps of late years have had competent in- structors, and the art of swimming has been taught for years in city na- tatoriums; but the proportion of American boys and girls who know how to swim is very small and should be largely- increased. . To have chil~ dren’taught by competent instructors how to swim is' most {mportant. Swimming is easily acquired and to be once a swimmer is to be always a swimmer, CHARGING THE MATTER HOME. The senators, aware of the feeling which s being openly expressed against the tariff, have ventured to | show to the people that the oppressor |is not the tariff but the conductors | of the retail business of the country. Following are four articles represent- ed to illustrate the matter: ‘What retailer What retailer Article. pays. charges. | Glass pitcher .90 a doz. .40 each Haviland china $10.89 aset $36.00 a set | Razors 3.95 a doz. 2.00 each | Gloves 7.40a doz. 3.00a pr. This is not much clearer than mud, | for it does not explain whether the charges of the retaller are for the gonds or an addition made In conse- quence of the tariff, This charge, presumably, is for the article itseif, and if the first column shows the first cost, it is evident enough that the | retailers make & great profit upon | the articles mentioned. Twenty dol- | lare made upon a dozen razors is rather an excessive profit. If the sen. ators could disclose that the retailers doubled or trebled the dutles, they | certainty could make out a better case. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Boyle should have realized that a suspect may tell the truth, but that a convict never can, The man who wrote “After the Ball” is now 44 years old. The world has been merciful to him, The Boston Record has just passed its 25th anniversary and it is a world’s Record at that. 'Rah, 'rah for Arbor day. It is an | all-rounder and is as good a cleaning day as a planting day. At many of these modern day bane quets, the “chewing of the rag” is the most attractive feature. You would hardly think it, but the man with a “short arm” is supposed to have a long pocketbook. Some men never try to solve the liquor question except in front of a bar; and that is why they fall. ‘When a man appears at a ball game wearing a Prince Albert coat and a beaver hat, Boston concludes that he is winning a bet, A New York raflroad which calleq for $20,000,000 capital was sold at auc- tion the other day for $500. It was two miles long. Smoking rooms for American women are now being established on the ocean liners. They'll prove they are Indlans, if they do not have a care. The senate has put the seal of dis- approval upon foreign scents and has raised the tariff upon scented soaps from 20 to 50 cents a pound. Who can tell what a man's credit is good for by just looking at his au- tomobile? The automobile is often only a suspicious circumstance. Every year Kansas howls for har- vest hands. She ought to be as great at raising them as at raising wheat. What's the matter with Kansas? Happy thought for today: The good seed-thought dropped In ‘“our midst” today, may be better planting than the good seed in the ground, The fan who can find appropriate | language to talk about the home ball team In the presence of his pastor or his family has a good command of himself.

The bride had written that they should spend Sun- day with the Hendersons on their way from Boston. “I®s different from any other com- pany,” Mrs. Henderson sald. “For they are interested in furnishings and will notice everything we possess.” Spurred on by this, the Henderson girls scoured and polished until their arm; ed, and the house shone like a mirror. *“I thought I'd never get the finger marks off my desk” Loulse groaned. “I rubbed until 1 feared my arms would fall oft. There was a tiny scratch in one corner, but I put a dab of Ink on it it doesn’t. show a bit.” “I had even to put my dresser draw- ers in order,” Alice said. ‘“For, of course, as they are going to buy fur- niture, they’ll want to examine my new dreaser.” All Saturday morning they cleaned silver and all the afternoon they baked. “T wish she’d been a littlc more defi- nite,” Louise said. “All she told us in that note was that she would be here Sunday, and I don’t know wheth- er to order the mousse for dinner or supper.” “Order enough for both” their brother suggested, cheerfully. “I can guarantee to take care of all things left over.” “Yes, and who'll pay the bill? Should you think two dozen bride roses would be enough for the table?” Alice wanted to shine In a new gown for the occasion, so she tele- phoned the dressmaker requesting haste, and went after the gown her- self when she found the dressmaker had no one to send with it. The married’ sister, full of reminis- cences of her own wedding and ready with sage advice, worked for three days beforehand trying to break the baby of his habit of taking afternoon naps and train him to sleep In the morning. “I want him to be bright and happy while they're here,” she mourned, “but 1 seem to be succeeding only in mak- ing him cross.” She arranged to spend all of Sun- day at her parents’, in order not to miss a moment of the visitors’ stay, though to do so she ran the risk of offending her husband’s mother, who had planned to come to her for Sun- day. “She’ll surely understand how it is,” she sald. “I wrote her that we hadn’t seen this cousin for two years, ana were all so anxious to meet her new husband. The worst of it is, though, that I've put her off once before and I'm afrald she’ll be hurt.” The caterer forgot to send the mousse, and thelr brother, worried on its account, took the long trip to the store on Sunday morning and rode tack on the wagon to make eure of its delivery. He was so late that he bare- ly had: time to dress for dinner, and haste always was distasteful to him. The dinner hour was 1.30, but they waited until half-past 2 before they nt‘-dawn, famished, to the ruined re- pas “I don’t see why they didn't come,” Alice declared, half crying. sure you tc.d them what take?"” “I wrote it all down on paper and mailed it a week ago,” Louise sald. “I told them three ways of reach- ing here, by car, elevated or cab, and he his way around Chicago, anyhow.” car to “My onmly consoljation lies in the |be mousse,” their brother said, compla- cently. “T am going to have three helpings all to myself.” “Indeed, you're not” his mother cried. “You're going to take off your coat and rer.ick that mousse for sup- per.” “I never saw the silver so shiny,” sighed Loulse. “And doesn't it seem roomy’ with two extra leaves on the table!” “Anybody’d think we mever had company,” Alice laughed. “I'm glad you can laugh” Louise retorted. “I'm too utterly worn out. Go to your room and take off your gown. You can't wash dishes in an empire gown. I don’t believe those old court ladles sver did.” They were all in a panic for fear the guests would arrive before the slight- ed feast was cleared away, but their spirits rose as they sat, dressed and ready, in the parlor. It was 4 o'clock before the bell rang, waking the baby to tears and putting them all in a flutter of excitement. It was actually the bride and groom, resplendent in a new traveling garb and pleasantly calm. Alice tried to prevail on the bride to come to her room, the new dresser being on her mind, but she declined to remove her hat or coat. “We have so many people to see” she said, languidly. “We cannot stay more than a minute. Of course, we couldn’t pass through the town with- out_calling.” “Well, I gshonld think not!™ Hender- lurted out. “My own sister's Henderson was not tactful.
