The fire department has been wonder
fully improved. and has now attained
a degree of excellence most gratifying
to citizens generally. The affairs of the
engineering departments and street de-
partment and health department seem
also to have been ably conducted.
Criticisms of the administration now
closing have been directed almost ex-
clusively against the police department.
Whether these whisperings of scandal
are founded on fact or not has not been
shown. 1t would certainly seem to be
the only proper course for innocent
police officials when accused to deny
the charges and not rest until there
had been a thorough investigation.
That is a duty which innocent men
owe to themselves, to their friends and
to the party which placed them in
power If the whisperings of corrup-
ton We're untrue it is greatly to be
regretted that no satisfactory invests
cation was held, for We're it not for
these charges, the Harrington admin
istration would have been commended
by all good citizens.
To business men and taxpayers gem
orally, it is not of so much Importance
which party is handling the reins of
city government as that the affairs OF
the city are well, economically and
honestly administered. If this is done,
all sensible citizens are pleased. 1t Will
be the general hope that Mr.. Nc
Carthy's administration will be able
and satisfactory it will be the general
hope that his selections for city officials
will prove to have been wisely made,
and that in the conduct of the city's
affairs he will find it possible to avoid
some at least of the mistakes which
may have been made by his predeces-
sors and to profit by that which by
them has been we'll done.
1t is the Standards belief that the
people of Butte will at the expiration
of Mr.. McCarthys term be well pleased
that they selected him for mayor, and
that all will join in wishing the new
mayor and his administration smooth
sailing and good record.

cost to the taxpayers of more than ten
million dollars. In Germany one man
had eight hundred and four descend
ants, nearly all of whom were crimi-
nails. According to recent statistics,
eighty per cent. of all criminals are
habitual malefactors, and if all these
were put away and locked up for good,
society would feel much safer.
That is the scientific view of 1.-THE
protection of society at the expense of
the individual. The humanitarian plan
is to give the individual a show even
at the risk of society; to punish the
scrmina1 by Imprisonment for term ac-
cording to the gravity of his crime, I'M
dertake to reform him in the meantime
and then turn him loose again. The
scientists are in the minority, and they
will not succeed in bringing the world
around to their way of thinking-not as
long as the principle Of the brotherhood
of man obtains

TWENTY-FIVE PAGES
Dewey's Sunday.

rHE world must be a few hours
older before we round out the
year that will bring us to the
anniversary of Dewey's memorable vic
tory at Manila The news came Sunday
night. 1t was a genuine surprise, but
it was inspiring, and the event was
celebrated with enthusiasm practically
unprecedented in the lifetime of our
generation of Americans.
The first bulletins respecting the
Dewey victory told of a success so COM
plete and soannprecedented that the
veteran readers of war news-those of
our neighbors who had come down to
us from civil-war days-shOok their
heads and babe the youngsters wait
for the later reports. These came, de-
tails followed the bulletins; the news
grew better and better; it remains fully
confirmed to this day: it proved to be
the story of one of the most brilliant
triumphs in the known history of naval
warfare. Indeed, during the twelve
month, the world of letters has hunted
in vain for a match for it.
Instantly Dewey became one of the
worlds great sea captains. His own
countrymen had known next to nothing
about him. The few people who, up to
a year ago. had kept some sort of track
of the American navy, remembered that
Dewey had been sent far away to orien-
tai waters, as i'll luck would seem to
have it, just in time to lose the oppor-
tunities which it was anticipated the
war with Spain was about to afford.
Not many of us knew whether he was
captain or a commodore or an ad-
miral or what else, Indeed, truth to
tell, not very many of us, until a year
ago tomorrow, knew where Manila
was-many of those who joined in cele-
brating Dewey's victory had to make a
search in the atlas, next morning. in
order to find out just where the Philip
pines lie. Half the newspaper editors
spelled the city with two rs" and at
the same time thrust an extra "'l' into
the word Philippines it was all so new
is the same grand man to-day that he
was on Mayday of last year. His glory
hasn't tarnished-not a whit. He has
been through an experience at Manila
that was indescribably trying-few
men have ever been through the like
of it, To hold things in shape was a
task far harder than to make the cap
ture of Manila; Admiral Dewey must
have seen anxious days. But he made
no mistake; in respect to personality,
he is the one grand product of the war,
and he stands so high above the rest of
them who We're in it, by all the meas
urements that can be applied to sue
cessful commanders, that he actually is
idealized to-day by the millions Of his
fellow citizens, and he merits that mag
nificent distinction.

IF a Chicago physician who lectured
before the Chicago Society of An
thropology last Monday is to be be
lieyed, the world is going from bad to
worse at a very rapid rate. He says
that the percentage Of criminals in the
United States has increased so rapidly
that we now have one habitual or
hereditary criminal in every 1000 per
sons, whereas in 1850 we had only one
i'll every 3,442. Criminals" he says,
marry, propagate and multiply unre-
strained. and unless we change our
laws will continue to increase in the
same ratio. 1t is appalling to contem-
plate the outcome"
The remedy proposed by this wise
man is the permanent incarceration of
all habitual criminals. They would
thus be kept from propagating their
kind, and society would not only enjoy
greater protection from crime, but
would find the system much cheaper in
dollars and cents. A man named luke
in New York in seven generations pro-
duced twelve hundred criminals. at a

After the Peace.

nth more haste than the ac-
y" tual conditions appear to war
rant, some of the newspapers
are telling how the thing ought to be
done when we get through whipping
the Filipinos. There is Aguinaldo, for
instance; in the classic language of
Stephen Grover Cleveland, of New Jer-
sey, we expect soon to have him on our
hands. What to do with him-there' S
the rub.
The suggestion of the Portland Ore
gonian Is that we should deal with
Aguinaldo as England dealt with
Arab Pasha, who is detained, as a sort
of horrible example. we suppose, and
for Egypt's good, in the island of Cey-
Ion. Our administration at Washington
seems to fall in easily with English
colonial notions; we might make
Aguinaldo a perpetual scare-crow for
the benefit of permanent peace and or
der in the Philippines. There is Guam.
Not many Americans know what or
where Guam is, but it's ours by the eter-
nal power of having hoisted the Amer
lean flag there. From a position of
solitary confinement on this island
Aguinaldo could be worked convent
emily as a. silencer of any sort of trou-
bles which the more restless of our
brethren and proposed Filipino fellow
citizens may be inclined to get into
Up ITO date there has not been sug-
gested any better use to which we
have not yet entered into physical pos
session of Aguinaldo. He blows his lit
tie gold whistle free and untrammeied
as of yore.

~ HE solution of the race problem
of the South is giving the peo-
pie of that section, in view of
the increasing frequency of lynchings
more concern than ever. Brooker T.
Washington, a negro of considerable
note, founder of the negro industrial
school at Tuskegee, Ala, delivered a
lecture on the subject in Philadelphia
the other night, in which he declared
that 1.-The only permanent remedy for
such crimes as have been recently per-
petrated in Georgia, and the only per
manent remedy for mob violence, is in
the thorough education of all the peo-
pie in the South education that shall
reach the head, the hand, the heart, so
that in discussing the educational needs
of my people after all we are consider
ing the problem which is fundamental
in the salvation of the whole South"
Mr.. Washington was frank enough to
admit that bad as slavery was yet I'M
der 1t the negro was taught industrial
arts. After the war the desire of the
negroes was to give their children
|
trial education was forgotten and the
negro fell behind. "a race that lives on
| the skim milk of business is a race
which is the football of political parties
| and not capable of moral success" To
| succeed in the business world the negro
must learn a trade. That is the object
| of negro industrial schools.
The lecturer further argued that the
| barriers of prejudice could he broken
down in contact in business relations.
Probably that is true only in a very
limited sense. The whites will not mix
with the blacks in business any more
than they can help. Skilled negro labor
will be employed only where skilled
| white labor is not available. or when it
is cheaper in the market If it is en-
ployed for the latter reason, more trou-
bic will crop out. The industrial edu-
cation of the negro will help matters
materially. Few people in the North
realize how few educational opportuni-
ties exist for either race in many of the
country districts of the South: but it
seems to us that industrial education
offers only partial solution of the
problem. To solve it perfectly however.
is out of the question. Mr.. Washing
toms plan is excellent as far as it goes.
| One can easily believe his assertion

Mayor P. S. Har-

TO-MORROW Mayor P. S. Har-
rington will surrender the ad-
ministration of the affairs of the
city to Mayor-elect Mccarthy. During
the past two years the control of the
city government has been in the hands
of Mr.. Harrington. It's not amiss to say
at this time that, like all former admin
tstrations Butte has had, the one now
closing has not been without its faults
A perfect city government has never
yet been eXemplified on this earth, and
there is little likelihood of a govern
ment being attained which would prove
satisfactory to all. In a city in which
there are so many different kinds of
people, SO many different views, so
many diverse interests. it would indeed
be miracle if all would agree that the
local affairs had been we'll admin
istered.
On the whole, however, it will be the
general verdict of the more conserva-
tive people of Butte that the closing
administration has been fully up to
the average of administrations in Butte
and far superior to several of its pre-
decessors. If exception be made as re-
spects the police department, the Har-
rington administration might be desig-
mated as an exceptionally good one.
More public improvement has been
done than was done in any two pre-
ceding administrations, and the work
to all appearance has been well done.

"HOch Der Kaiser"

All the newspapers are rushing into
print with "Hoch der Kaiser" the
jingle with which Captain Coghlan en-
tertained his hearers at the recent
New York club dinner, to the dismay
of the president and to the grief of
the kaiser's representative in Washing
ton. While the public laughs at the
verses, and while every citizen realizes
that Dewey, as the captain asserts,
was "nagged and nagged' by Dietrich,
the German admiral, still the sentiment
apparently is everywhere current in
the United States that the club perfor-
nance of Captain Coghlan, under the
circumstances, wasn't just the right
thing to do. These are the verses:
Der Kaiser of dis Fatherland
Und Gott on high all dings command
We two-ach! Don't you understand,

Vile some men sing der power divine,
Mein soldiers sing Der Wacht am
