Of the announcements that at the present
state of the manufacture the steel cells will
be more costly. But. taking into account
the greater rapidity Of charging and the
lighter weight. the newcomer is consid-
cred, even at the present high rate Of con-
struction cost as an economical substitute.
The immediate problem of the present in
this matter. however, is not one of cost, but
Of weight. 1t is practically assured that
the cost factor in the construction account
will be materially reduced as the use OF
such batteries increases through the reduc-
tion OF the present obstacles of weight and
time lost in recharging. In the latter item
the Edison battery is regarded as vast
improvement. The ordinary lead cell re-
quires seven to eight hours for charging.
whereas the new cell may be charged at
normal rate in three and one-half hours,
or In one hour under pressure. which some
what deteriorates the efficiency.
Many sweeping estimates Of the effect of
this advance in storage battery construc-
tion have already been given by experts.
including forecasts of the use of this cleo
tric device for tugs and other harbor
craft, for torpedo boats. submarine craft.
trucks. delivery wagons and such practical
appliances. 1t is easy to appreciate the
eagerness with which the commercial world
looks forward to the perfection OF the
portable battery for propulsion. Heretofore
the weight, cost and slowness of charging
of the lead battery have combined to rem
der 1t only little more than a novelty in
transportation. adaptable for purposes Of
display or luxury. where the item of proper
tiOnate cost need not be considered. In
every close computation between the
horse-drawn and the electric vehicle thus
far the former has had the advantage. But
the desirability of the electric machine for
many purposes is so great that some users
have been willing to disregard the balance
of expense. If now this balance Is to be
eliminated and the portable electric motor
placed within the range of absolute econ
omy a complete change in the course Of
transportation is within reasonable expec-
tation.

The Cadets to Appeal.

1t is reported from New York that tho
five young men dismissed from West Point
for INSTRUMENTATION have decided to press
their effort for reinstatement and that the
business oner made to them by General
Green has been rejected. more hopeless
task than they propose to undertake could
not well be conceived. There is no oues-
ton whatever as to the attitude Of the peo-
pie toward them. They condemn the haz-
Ing practices at West Point and would
prefer even the abandonment Of the insti-
tuition If it could not otherwise be saved
from the disgrace of continual cadet domi-
nance Representative Landis expressed
this thought the other day when he pro-
posed. even in the present state of af-
fairs. to close the academy for few sea-
sons to permit a fresh start. But 1t is not
necessary to close the academy for a day
II the government is determined to enforce
discipline there. There Is no danger that
the War Department will allow the least
suggestion of a reversal of Col. Mills tarty
uncompr omising policy. These five cadets
may perhaps perform a public service by
coming to Washington In order to receive
the refusal of Secretary Root to reconsider
the case for moment. They will be the
instruments of an object-lesson In dtscI-
pllne which will serve to further Impress
the necessity Of absolute subordination at
the academy upon the remaining cadets.

No serious alarm needs to be felt in con-
sequence OF the threats of a Filipino tudee
mat another revolution will follow the
American policy of appointing judges from
TINS country and discriminating in favor of
Americans in the civil appointments In
the nrst place there IS no settled policy to
appoint officials exclusively from the main
Iand. nor to select the administrative
SuhordlnateS with a prejudice against the
natives The primary purpose Is to secure
good men for the positions in this first step
Oh organization, which pre-eminently re-
duires high character. capacity and pro-
sreSsiFeness- In the civil service selections
II may be true that more Americans are
chosen than Filipinos because the stand
ard of efficiency is higher with them than
with the natives. But this condition will
not prevail indefinitely. The United States
government is bent upon giving the natives
the largest possible degree of particfpa-
ton in their own government 1t proposes
as far as possible TO train the natives for
the public places, and to this end It is es-
tablishiug schools and is appointing many
tilipinos to office in the hope that by these
TWO means there may be born a new public
spirit and the capacity to apply It to the
practical demands of administration The
standard Of capacity among the natives is
not yet so high that it would be safe to
throw open the entire administrative ma
chine to them 1t is far more important
that the people receive an object lesson
In good government through an American
controlled organization for period than
that they be given all the public offices be-
fore they are ready for them
These considerations appear to appeal to
the better classes of the F'ilipinos. who
are reported as refusing to sympathize
with the judge just quoted. They declare
that II Is notorious that the native Judges
in many cases lack the essential Qualities
OF honesty and efficiency and there seems
to be a sense of relief among the better
informed Fnipinos that the judicial sys-
tenn Is not to be given over at the outset
TO the Incompetent natives who seek the
places. These threats of revolution will
doubtless be heard from time to time
throughout the American occupation They
will presumably grow fainter as the new
sovereignty Justifes itself in the minds of
the people and the natives prove them
selves capable of assuming a constantly
Increasing part In the administrative
work One OF the most important lessons
which the United States has to teach the
FIllpinos > that government is not a crea-
tion for the satisfaction OF the office hold
ing propensities of the people, but a neces-
sary scheme Of protection. convenience and
progression. for which the most efficient
servants are to be drafted as occasion re-

policemen in the metropolis and 1t Is to be
hoped that the practice Of popping away
indiscriminately in the name Of the law
will not spread to other. communities. The
policeman's pistol should be used only in
cases Of emergency. Its bearing upon a
prisoners behavior should depend in large
degree upon the offense committed. 1t Is
certainly not justifiable to shoot an escap-
ing man who has merely stolen a trifle, or
has been disorderly. Public opinion al
ways 1ustifies a policeman for shooting in
earnest after burglar or man-killer or
the perpetrator of other grave offenses.
But the occasions for such use are rare
compared with the number of times a po-
liceman's prisoner Of the minor degree of
crime attempts to break away and is pur-
sued. A running policeman is not at best
crack shot and his firing is more likely to
harm others than the fugitive. Washing
ton has had several experiences with the
combination Of indiscreet policeman and
pistol and would not tolerate the local
adoption of the Devery principle.

Tom johnson as Reformer.
The Indianapolis Journal in reminiscent

The Indianapolis Journal in reminiscent
tial mood. makes this observation:
Mayor Tom Johnsons determination to
place every piece of property In Cleveland
on the assessment list at it's real cash
value and to bring municipal revenues up
to high-water mark must be of recent
origin. 1t had not developed when he
owned the street railroad in this city,
We must not be too hard on Mr.. Johnson
He Is not posing as a saint. He made his
money in the old-fashioned way. and does
not deny it. In those days he was not
statesman, but a money-hunter after the
approved order of things. If Indianapolis
did not collect from him all the taxes to
which she was entitled while he was op-
Grating street railroads within her borders
she has only herself to blame. His shining
merit is that he knows how property
should be taxed. and as mayor of Cleve-
land he purposes bringing every plutocrat
to the scratch. The people are invited to
take notice, and see the Importance Of set
ting a plutocrat to catch a plutocrat And
IL the scheme works well In the mayoralty
of Cleveland, why not try 1t in the govern
orship of Ohio, and II it proves a success
there also. why not try it in the office Of
President Of the United States? One of
the problems of the day is dealing with
thinks he has found the remedy.
But while Mr.. Johnson and Sucker Rod
Jones are inaugurating a new order Of
things by turning their experience as pluto
Gratis to the public account. the old order
still has its adherents and its allurements.
Men are still willing to get rich by COM
binations otherwise. AS The Star point
ed out only few days ago. some of the
men most prominent this year in large cap
italistic organizations were as late as last
year declaimng loudly against all combina-
tions of capital oppressive to the people
and against public interests. Suddenly they
have seen new light. and are well on the
way to become wealthy and influential in
the business world themselves Whether
they. too In time, after making their
pile" shall turn and toy with aItruism,
and set up a golden rule school of states
manship. and offer for high office to show
how the thing works, remains to be seen.
But just now they are grubbing away as
for dear life, and everybody wishes them
abundant success
In all seriousness, however, Mr.. Johnson,
In the Cleveland matter referred to, is en-
gagged in very praiseworthy business All
taxable property should be listed at a fair
valuation. Tax lodging is one Of the evils
of the day. 1t has caused a great deal of
just complaint. and it should be abated to
the fullest extent possible. Death and taxes
are bracketed together in the enumeration
OF the certainties, but of late years expert
enCe has shown that they ought to be sepa-
rated For whereas death cannot be
evaded. taxes can be, and too frequently
they are.

The defeat of the radicals at Havana is
an assuring circumstance. The vote was
two to one. This. it is explained, does not
indicate that the direct majority on the
acceptance Of the Platt amendment will be
So large. but 1t does show that mere op-
position to the United States has run its
course in the convention, and that a result
will be reached acceptable to both coun-
tries.
1t should not be forgotten that there have
been radicals In the United States as well
as in Cuba. An entirely safe assertion. in
deed. is that the former have largely been
responsible for the latter. The most ex-
travagant assertions made in the constitu-
tiOnal convention and in Cuban newspapers
to the discredit of this government have
had their first deiiverance in the United
States For every Cuban who has taunted
the administration with insincerity and
double-dealing, an American citizen hold
ing like sentiments may be produced This
is not pleasant thing to say but it Is the
simple truth. 1t has seemed at times as
If a conspiracy existed to give to every line
Of anti-American scurrlity circulated in
Cuba either an American trademark. or
an American justification of some kind.
But the campaign is over, and good sense
wins. Cuba under the operation of the
Platt amendment will have Independent
government. and, what no other independ-
ent government enjoys, absolute safety
from outside Interference The right Of
this government to interfere will never be
exercised except for Cuba's benefit, and
all other governments are in effect warned
off Cuba will thus take the place she long
has coveted, and her affairs will be In her
own hands.
The acceptance of the Platt amendment,
however. does not leave Cuba with no
other business of Importance to transact
with the United States. The terms upon
which she is to enter our markets are Vet
to be arranged and they call for very care
full treatment. The markets of the United
States. and especially for Cuban products.
are In great favor, and properly are well
guarded. The policy which has brought
them to their present desirable state was
formulated. and mas been applied solely on
business principles. 1t will continue Of
