Not a little time and effort was put into this matter and the committee showed that it had given it honest consideration when it made its recommendation for the removal of PoHce Commisstoner Waldo together with a half hundred other recommen- dations for Improvement in the de- partment. The report was against the work and interests of Tammany. Tt was a eriticism of the support which Mayvor Gaynor has enthusiastically given the police head throughout his administration and direcily opposed to the methods which have dene so much for the bullding up of the system, The commitice, however, have the satisfaction of knowing that they have performed a duty. That the report was not accepted dees not indicate that the reforms which they urged are not necessary. The unwillingness of the board of aldermen to endorse the need- ed changes only puts the situation up to the people in a stronger light. The people know the betterments that are needed and it lles within their power to say whether they shall be accom- shed The interests which are working for the retention of Tam- 1905, average. . or not. many control are upholding. present onditions, while uniting on a fusion candidate, such as Whitman, agains that organization, gives the people the opportunity to have reform instituted, and conditions corrected. They are the court of last resort. ATHLETIC COMPETITIONS. No better indication of the import- ance which Is attached to the develop- ment of athletics in the large institu- tons of learning throughout the coun- try can be given than the Interest and attention which they are attracting just at this particular time of the year. In all branches is there the greatest activity. The news reports are full of them and to some might Indicate that too much attention is being given to the matter of physical development in schools and colleges: yet a little thought will make it apparent that such is not the case and that the training of the body is as much an essential as mental development if the best is to be attained. They are nee- essary accompaniments for the great- ast success. Athletics in colleges is but the con- tinuation of the idea of recreation and plaverounds on an advanced scale. Athletics consist of games in which interest is directed and organized for the best development, while the mental forces are rested and strengthened. The nelination to devote insufficient time to out-of-door exercise of a proper kind resulted in the development of greater interest in athletics. Gym- nastum work and out-of-door sports have been given greater attention in late years and the increased interest has borne good fruit. Those who have recefved the benefits fully realize the value, and it is but natural that there 1= an enthusiastic manifestation of in- terest n all such competitions, as the circles of their influence widen. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. Agricultural products in this coun- try formed but 48 per eent. of the do- | mestic exports of ing to the department of commerce. In view of the fact that this shows a | decrease in percentage over 1880 when they formed 34 per cent. of the exports and even over 1910 when 51 per cent. of the exports were agricultural pro- duets might give cause for alarm, but fov the fact taat it does mot repre- sent a loss In quantity or value of such exports but means that manufactures have shown a declded increase and ex- ceeded or equalled the proportion of exports which agricultural products form. This means a healthy develop- ment, Opportunity has been recog- nized and taken advantage of and to- day this country Is exporting In value practically an equal amount of agri- cultural produets and manufactures. The value of agricultural products exported confinues to show a steady idition and the past fiscal year shows 1he amount to be the largest ever, be- ing approximately 1,200 million which is nearly double the amount in 1580 when it was 604 million and formed at that time over four-fifths of the entire exports. Today the products of the land are furnishing several hundred millfen more for exports than the en- tire exportation of all domestic articies thirty-five vears ago, It has been a period of large growth and develop- ment which ought to be maintained. o the United States | during the fiscal year of 1913 accord- | BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE. Boston was naturally much disap- not allow pleasure to interfere with business, that they might have the op- ing addresses at the annual celebra- tion of Bunker Hill day. He is a bright and forceful speaker whbo any city would take' pleasure in hearing and entertaining, but it is %o his credit that he recognized the duty of caring for the demands of his office before his social dutles. The administration at the present -time is cencerned with many important matters which cencern his department. Congress is in ses- sion and naturally the new heads of departments should be deveting thelr best efforts to matters of government, inasmuch as the new administration is but three months old. Secretary Bryan has been doing not a little traveling since he assumed his new office and his work has devolved upon the acting secretary and others who have proved perfectiy capable, but in the fact that he recognized that the place for him is. in Washington when business fs underway, there is reason to belleve that he places his business first. Such is a policy which is in accord with the best interests of the government. No doubt he likes to speak as well as his audiences like to hear him, but efficiency demanded that he sacrifice one, outside the im- mediate vicinity of the capital, and that one was properly recognized, NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY. That the United St; supreme court upheld the newspaper publicity law, with all its requirements, causes worry only to these publications which are liable to feel the effects of its pro- visions. Those papers which are con- tinually giving much of the required information to the reading and ad- vertising public are only too glad to furnish the statement which the law now demands. The policy of dealing fairly with the advertiser is only what is right and proper and such was rec- ognized by the fact that a large per cent. of the papers complied with the requirements directly after they went into force, and while the appeal was pending. The Chicago Tribune puts it pointed- Iy when it says the final decision “will be welcomed by every newspaper which is applying to its own business the standards of good faith and square dealing the press has been preaching to the business world generally. “Men who lie about their circula- tion, who defraud the advertiser, are just as guilty of obtaining money un- der false pretenses as is the cheap swindler who palms off a brass watch on a farmer under the pretension that it is gold. “The newspaper must live up to the code it applies so austerely to others’ practices. If any advertiser can be prosecuted and sent to 1 for swin- dling the public the publisher who de- frauds the advertiser should occupy an joining cell So long as newspapers do mot live up to their own standards of probity nd openness in these business matters as well as editorially, they are self- condemned and deserve contempt, dis- trust and want of pu EDITORIAL NOTES.

I do wish mother wasn't such a killjoy. It often seems to me that she objects to every little desire of my heart. I dii not argue the matter, but I made up my mind to show her that I coull handle a car as well as any one. Every morning for a week I asked father if he -was going to send for the car and he always answered, “Not just yet” The flne spring weather added to my impatience, and one day I deter- | mined to take the matter into my own | hands. I ran over to Louise Erwin’s and ask- ed her to go to Eigin on an early train the next morning. “I have to go on business” I said, “and I think it would be pleasant for me to stay all night with you so that we can go to the railroad station in the morning together.
