The Presidents selections in constituting
the new board of charities are in every way
calculated to command the entire conf
dence of the people. The men chosen are
known for their public spirit and for their
previous experience in the conduct of local
charitable institutions and enterprises
Under their guidance the asylums and
hospitals of the District are certain
10 be given intelligent sympathetic su-
rcrViSion, to the end that the great
problem of caring for the poor and
the SICK and the orphaned will be solved in
q manner satisfactory to all classes and
interests. The list of men named by
ths President once more attests the in
terest in and the self-sacrificing devotion
to the public welfare Of the representative
citizens Of Washington. shown in another
direction the other day by the appointments
to the new school board. All five of these
commissioners of charities will necessarily
give freely of their time and energy to
the duties of the position. In some cases
they will be forced to suffer material dis
advantages as a result of their acceptance
Yet they have agreed to assume this i'm
portant task, with its demands and its re-
sponsibilities, in the interest Of the COM
muT,ity which they have always been ready
to serve freely. Thus this board affords a
renewed evidence of the capital citys re-
serve force Of enterprise and character and
public spirit. which is exceptionally subject

There IS nothing surprising in the intell'-

of Charles A. Towne are urging that the

1T Is likewise pointed out that these popu-

patronage has bscoms <ery large and the
profession has attracted many followers,
allured solely by the hope Of winning large
rewards. But at no time has the real force
of the old appeal to the innate bruitish in
stincts of man been modified. Tuesday night
this truth was well illustrated by q fight
between two men near New York.
1t was cruelty rough bloody, and, from an
"unsportsmanlike' point of view, disgust
ing. There was minimum Of science" a
maximum of punishment. And in conse-
quence it has been heralded as one of the
most interesting contests ever known in the
history of the prize ring. Its success seems
to have been in inverse ratio to It's appeal
to the discriminating sense of the onlook-
ers, and in direct ratio to its appeal to
the lower instincts. 1t is now a trite truth
that prize-fghting has long since ceased to
have the least positive moral value. The
time has gone by when men needed to rely
solely upon their weapons of nature for de-
fense. The manly art" is mockery in
which no one but the bruiser himself hon.

The gymnasium and the development of
rational outdoor sports have done their
work well enough in keeping the race in
physical condition as far as modern stress
will permit. The pretense of the moral
value of the prize fight has ceased to serve
and it is perhaps we'll that such fights as
that of Tuesday should succeed" If only
to hasten the day of a frank acknowledge

A Topographic "Reminiscences.

l have paused to hear the music of the big
perfecting press
AS it hammers and 1t clamors to rebuke my
idleness;
1 have seen the pages leaping from the
mighty whirling scroll
And the roar and bang and rattle has made
music to my soul.
And yet (perhaps I'm growing what they
call bit passe),
I don't feel quite contented with the meth
ods of today.
AS I watch the step of progress, I can
scarce restrain scowl;
I am longing for foot press and a print
ing office toW'l.
1t seemed just like miracle, an iridescent
dream,
When first we got a little press that ran
with real steam.
And now, while steam is useful in it's hon
est way, doubt.
We have electric motors, modern built, to
help it out.
We said inventive genius, though it grew
each year more ripe,
Would never be on hand with a machine
for setting type.
Pll admit the new ways better-though I'm
half inclined to growl,
W hlle I'm longing for 4 foot press and
printing office toW'l.
oh, where's the jovial nomad who would
work about week
And then lay down his stick and wander
off, new fields to seek?
Where Is the printers devil? In his place
we find crowd
OF bright faced. chubby cherubs. fit to
perch upon a cloud.
And from the forms miss the news that
once appeared so big,
About the new church organ and the Widow
Spicer's pig.

The Stars growth has been coincident with

Influences inimical to the administration
are seeking to start the people worrying
over the future policy of the United States
with reference to China. 1t Is being sug
gested that the ''imperialistic' tendencies OF
the government, if unchecked, will lead to
participation in the continental readjust-
mem, the acquisition of a sphere of influ-
ence, the establishment of a Chinese colony.
l. is hinted that otherwise the United States
will find no opportunity to recoup itself for
its losses and expenses occasioned by the
campaign in China Of course, to the anti
expansionists this is a most deplorable pros
pect.
The policy of the United States toward
China is well enough defined already to per-
nit confident estimate Of the future. We
want trade facilities in China equal to those
enjoyed by the rest of the world. We want
to preserve Chinas integrity. We want TO
check the tendency toward dismemberment.
Would it be reasonable. safe or business
Ike. therefore, to contribute to that ten
dency. to restrict our field to a small area,
by joining partition movement with
demand for a share? The American oppor-
tunity in China is unlimited by territorial
boundaries If We can be assured of a con-
tlnued open door. The chance for our man.
ulacturerS uI-der such cOndl.lOn is lar more
promising that would be the case if their
market were restricted to the comparatively
narrow area falling to the United States
under scheme OF division. 1t is recog-
nZed the wise policy to strive consi5-
tently for this larger field
The reward of the United States for its
participation in the regeneration of China
will be ample If peace can be restored to
the empire, if American rights and lives are
respected. if We shall have done our full
duty as a member of the family Of nations
in crisis If through our prestige as a ter
ritorially disintcrested power we can pre-
vent partition our compensation will be
more than sufficient. This is, however. no
time to calculate the cost of such plain
duty as now confronts the government.
There Is no danger to our traditions in our
present activity, and those who affect to
discover menace in our necessary enter
prise need only to read the history of the
republic to see how vigorously and prompt
ly such emergencies have been met by ad-
m!nistrations Of all compilations and how
sincerely the people have approved the
measures adopted.

poration holdings and connections made
him a suspected man west of the Missis-
sippi. So the populists put up Mr.. Watson.
VIII the democrats in turn now shy at
Mr.. Towne? VIII they insist upon putting
up a man of their own? Is Mr. Towne
weak in the east. as four years ago Mr..
Sewall was in the west? Are his populist
connections in his way. as his corporation
connections were in Mr.. Sewalrs way? Is
not the fact that Mr.. Towne possesses Mr..
Bryans confidence and respect sufficient to
admit him to full fellowship at Kansas
City? And if the democrats reject him,
will the populists and silver republicans
still hold on to him? Is there any advan-
tage in having two tails to a presidential
kite?
1t may be said of Mr.. Towne that, with
the exceptions of Mr.. Hill and Mr.. German.
he is the ablest and personally the most
attractive man as yet mentioned In connec-
ton with the Kansas City nomination. In
a set speech he is not inferior to Mr.. Bryan
himself, and he gave up as Mr.. Bryan did,
congressional career in behalf of silver.
His championship of the white metal cost
him his constituency; but he has not
wavered in his devotion to his principles.
There is abundant reason why the east
should not be partial to him, and it relates
in large measure to his ability and his
frank avOwal of convictions.

The Diamond Match company is the

$175,Gt0. The company have between
100000 and 100000 feet of match splint

The fire started in the dressed lumber
