One CALDER.

The intimation in Tuesdays Star that
a serious effort is about to be made to
adopt standard caliber for the small
the general public almost as much as it
does the services. AS things now are, the
land forces usa rifle of one caliber while
the navy Is being equipped with another
yariety of rife that calls for much
smaller csrtridge than that required for
the 1rmy gun In time of peace such an
arrangement, or disarrangement. is of little
moment, but should this country ever en-
gage in hostilitieS the caliber differences
would be likely to seriously interfere; at
critical time, of course. In spite of every
precaution shipments of ammunition would
60 astray. and the results might easily be
disastrous The situation was bad enough
before the navy came in with its new gun.
Throughout the United States there is, in
the National Guard alone. dangerous va
rfety in the matter of caliber; 1t would take
probably ten or twelve kinds of ammuni-
ton to make the armament effective In
war The differences in National Guard
calibers continue and will likely continue
Until there is closer relationship between
the military authorities of the states and
those of the general government, but there
Is no argument strong enough to stand
alone that can be advanced in favor of
two small-arms calibers authorized by the
general government. The official who
brings about the organization of a board
of experts clothed with authority to adopt
a standard caliber will be a public bene-
factor.

A powerful argument adverse to the con-
tract system in municipal government is
the effort which Is being made by q syndi-
cete to purchase the garbage contract from
its present holder. 1t Is understood that
the wouid-be purchasers are ready and
willing to pay Mr.. Warfield the sum Of
$4,000 for the transfer of his rights and
privileges as to District of Columbia gar
base. Mr.. .Warfield. however-knowing the
value of a good thing-is said to be holding
out for $4,000. The contract has about
four years to run. 1t Is apparent that the
syndicate believes that 1t can in four years
make u satisfactory profit over and above
the sum 1t offers for the transfer, while
Mr. wsrfield-who has a large quantity OF
valuable inside information-is Of the opin-
len that they can do sim better in profit
making. The future earnings CT the con-
tractor will not. Of course, be so large as
In tine past. for it 10 not to be supposed

A republican congressional nomination in
the city of Philadelphia Is equivalent to
election. That fact is sound cause for re-
joicing among the many friends Of Mr..
James Rankin Young, who yesterday re-
ceived the nomination as representative of
the Fourth Pennsylvania district. The
nomination is an especially good one. Rich
in journalistic experience-now one of the
editors Of the Philadelphia Evening Star
and thoroughly conversant with the ms
and outs of political life at the capital,
Mrs. Young Is eminently qualified for &C
tive participation in public affairs. His ac-
quaintance with District of Columbia, mat
tiers would make him especially valuable
when District legislation Is being discussed,
so 1t may be taken for granted that all
Washington will be pleased to welcome the
new member for the Fourth when he ap-
pears here in his congressional capacity.

A Chosen Occupation.

ut is strange" remarked the observant
man, but very few people are content to
do what they are best qualified for. Paint
ers long to be musicians and musicians
long to be authors, and so it goes"
Yes. replied the business man, but
there are exceptions to every rule. I know
a young man who has been doing the same
thing for years, and he seems perfectly
satisfied with it,
What has he been doing?''

The authorities at the new city post
office building still insist that there are
one hundred and twenty-five men-only one

the total may advance to one hundred and
twenty-six.

The idea that Mr.. John Boyd Thatcher
may receive the support of the multitude
