"GUN PLAYS" BY BOYS

Gun plays are getting altogether toe
numerous among school boys, with
whom the force of example is strong
At San Bernardino, few days ago
some high school boys tried to haze q
schoolmate who was accompanying a
young woman home from a reception
The boy carried loaded revolver, habit
ually, it seems, and repulsed his young
assailants with a fusillade of shots, none
of which, fortunately, took effect. The
lad was undoubtedly justified in de-
Tending himself; but 1t is appalling to
think that the revolver habit has OBJ
tanned a foothold among boys of his age
1t was learned that a number of the
high school boys are in the habit Of car
rying pistols.
Now, here is where the force of exam
pie comes in. The San Bernardino
Free Press of recent date says:
Since Ernest Hammer threw a halo
of romance around the high school boys
by putting lot of them to flight with
his gun, bellicose spirit has been
creeping into the primary grades. Yes
terday a party of six boys of the Fourth
street school attacked Roy Leeds and
Dave Knowland with rocks, slingshots,
oranges and clods. Dave borrowed
Roys airgun and took shot at the
fleeing six. He missed them, and Roy
tried his craftsmanship. He also
missed them, but they fed. The six
boys then had Roy and Dave arrested,
and they were tried before the recorder
this afternoon. They were discharged
with a reprimand.
Now, that sort of thing won't do. and
it is high time for the parents, and if
necessary the officers of the law, to take
a hand. A few hours in Jail would hay,
a deterrent effect upon the youthful car
riers of concealed weapons, although
such measure is harsh one, to be used
only as last resort.
If the practice is not stopped, it may
yet become necessary for the teachers
in the public schools to make a rule
that all pupils shall leave their guns al
the office" before entering upon their
studies each morning. There will be a
tragedy sooner or later if something is
not done.
If boys must fight (and there are times
when it is necessary, let them use ma
tures weapons in a fair and manly man.

Army Matters

When bill to increase the artillery
strength of the army was introduced and
favorably looked into. would 1t not also
be we'll to look into the recommendation
of General Miles in regard to the amend
ment of the present retirement law of en-
listed men In the army? 1t is proposed to
change the retirement, somewhat after the
British army. from thirty years to twenty
one years service, and instead Of receiv-
ing IS per cent Of pay and clothing only to
receive 50 per cent and fuel and quarters
added Also, that after the passage Of this
amendment soldiers Of less than nine
years service will not be re-enlisted. Sol
diers with nine years or more would be
permitted to serve twenty-one years and
then retire. The object of these recommen-
dations is plain and well worthy to look
into An army composed Of young men
would always be on hand; no old, stiff,
broken-down soldiers in the ranks. 1t
would decrease the pension list, and after
twelve years from the passage of the bill
would abolish retirement altogether. The
Soldiers home in Washington would have
plenty of room for those disabled while in

DE LONE AS A CURTAIN LITTER

The recall of Minister de LONE does
not affect the contents of the letter
which he so imprudently dispatched to
Canalejas, the interception of which vet
remains to be explained. 1t compre-
hends statements more or less true, in
termingled with conclusions and judg-
ments not altogether warrantable EN-
anating from an American source-an
American senator or an American news
paper-the letter might pass as fairly
accurate criticism upon the president
and the attitude of his party regarding
the Cuban question. AS the utterance
of foreign ambassador, accredited to
our government by nation professedly
friendly. it is intolerable.
The prompt disavowal of the senti-
ments expressed in the letter, and the
recall of the offending minister. will
probably close the incident, so far as
diplomacy can close it; but the people
of this country are privileged to exer-
else the prerogative of digesting the let
ter, and of judging the general correct
ness of the Spaniards view of the situ-
alton, as it existed two months ago.
when it is supposed to have been writ
ten.
In view Of the platform declaration of
the Republican party, De LONE was
right in declaring that ''the insurgents
expected something else;" and if he
erred in declaring that the MESA ge
"paralyzed the action of congress-" IL
was only in so far as he attributed to
the message itself, rather than to the
subsequent party policy which it justi-
fed, the full credit. Presidential mes
sages in this country paralyze nothing
save the patience of those who under
take to read and reconcile them.
The taste displayed by the president
in the choice of language depends
wholly upon the point Of view. 1t was

HARBoR BIDS

The number of bids submitted for the
dro must have been as a drop of cool
water to thirsty soul to the fearsome
mind of Secretary Alger. The head Of
the war department, it will be recalled,
was reluctant to advertise for bids be
cause there was no certainty that the
contractors would get their pay" The
Herald said at the time that if Secretary
Alger would do his plain duty and ad-
vertise for bids the contractors would
cheerfully accept all the trouble and
responsibility to be incurred in bidding
for the work. The eighteen bids submit
ted bear out this view of the case.
The lowest bid was that of Hildmeyer
& Co. Of Chicago, 81, ,6S5, ,21999. This is
only 58 per cent Of the total amount au-
thorized by congress, and should have
a favorable effect upon those watch
dogs of the treasury who have the ap-
preparation bills in the hollow of their
hands. If Hildmeyer eco. are respons-
ible, competent parties (and this phase,
of course, will be thoroughly looked into
before the matter is settled), they will,
doubtless, be given the contract.
The highest bid was that of the Ma
tional Construction company of New
York, $4,595.115. This bidder must have
somehow conceived the idea that the
breakwater was to be constructed of
Klondike nuggets or ore from Rands-
burg.
The next thing to be done is to get the
years appropriation of 100000 through
congress. The fear has been revived re-
Gently that this would be defeated by the
enemies of the harbor but the friends of
the measure have also been at work, and
the outlook is much brighter than it was

cringes in the presence of royalty's rep
resentatfve while encouraging lingo

sample of '1ow politician"
AS an artist of the impressionist
school, 1t must be conceded that De
LONE is entitled to our admiration. He
paints what he sees.
The minister's horoscope Is also well
worthy of serious attention, in Spain as
we'll as the United States. II agree en-
tirely with you that without military
success nothing will be accomplished
there" and that without military and
political success there is here always
danger that the insurgents will be en-
couraged, if not by the government, at
least by public opinion" Neither the
one nor the other having been achieved,
and their utter failure being notorious.
the president must recognize the rapid
approach of the time when, in accord
ance with his own language, interfer-
ence will be an imperative duty.
The letter discloses the insincerity Of
the recent negotiations between the two
respecting a revision of
tariff regulations, the inference being
fair that they were entered into at De
Lome's suggestion, wholly 'for effect,
and to enable him to make propagan-
da among the senators and others in op-
position to the junta and to win over
sxiles."
The letter of De LONE, in general and
particular, is gross insult to the Amer
Ican people, which we all loyalty resent. |
But we thank him for it.
