CABLES TO THE FAR EAST.
Advfsability of a Submarine TeIe-
graph Between America and Asia.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
The action Of the chamber of commerce
Of this state on Thursday. urging the con-
struction of a telegraphic cable line to the
Philippines and to the coast of Asia, is D
be welcomed as a force making in the
right direction. There are certain points
involved in such an enterprise which re-
quire careful and judicious consideration.
This they are now receiving at Washington.
1t is TO be hoped and. we believe, expected
that soon the way will be made clear and
open for laying a cable across the Pa
cific ocean which. whever it touches land,
from California to the Philippines, will be
under the stars and stripes.
The way cannot be opened and the work
cannot be done too soon. Hurry II as we
may, we shall not be the first in the race.
We have already waited too long for that.
The an-British cable scheme is now far ad-
vanced, and a few months more will doubt
less see ii completed and London put into
instant communication with Hong Kong
by way of Vancouver, all the way under
the British flag. Our line, when constructed,
will therefore have an older direct rival
to compete with, besides no fewer than
three others in the opposite direction.
There have for some time been two tele-
graph routes from Europe to eastern Asia,
one by the way of the cable lines under
the Mediterranean and Red seas and the
Indian ocean, and the other overland by
way OF the Russian siberian lines. A third
has just been completed. 1t runs from
England down the Atlantic ocean 10 the
Cape of Good Hope and thence across the
Indian ocean to Australia and New Zea-
land. This last is practically all-British
line, so that when the British Pacific cable
is laid there will be a British telegraphic
girdle around the earth.
Such rivalry should not, however, for an
instant stand in the way of the speedy
laying of an all-American cable across the
Pacific ocean Such a cable is needed for
possible military purposes. 1t is needed
fof actual political purposes, and most as
suredly for the promotion of American
commerce in that very part of the world
in which the greatest future development
of commerce is to occur. Moreover, IL Will
pay in dollars and cents. The new cable
from England TO Australia by way of the
Cape of Good Hope has involved the lay
ing of more than $4,000 miles of cable at a
cost of more than s15,o00,o00. 1t has been
laid without a penny of government aid,
and ii is going to transmit messages from
England to Australia for 20 cents a word
at the outset, with 80 per cent reduction
a year or two hence; and IL is expected
that il villa pay good dividends. What En-
gland can do such route, the United
States should certainly be able to do on the
route from the Golden Gate to Manila bay.

The Moral Effects.
The effect of co-education on the morals
disturbs many shallow thinkers. Ameri-
can parents are not noted for a close sur
yeillance of their sons and daughters; on
the contrary, they sometimes permit dan
gerous freedom; but this is not found in
studying or reciting side by side

military academy or the university around
the corner is filled with romantic possibili-
ties. perilously sweet, because strictly for
bidden. In co-educational colleges boys
and girls are friends and companions with
a clear knowledge of each others faults
and virtues. Occasionally there is love
ahalr, but usually sensible one, for the
girl must often wait until the man has es-
tablished himself, frequently necessitating
several years graduate work at another
university Sometimes she, too, CUES to
Europe and studies, or she stays at home
and teaches while waiting Such mar
riages are founded upon a firm basis and
in the vast majority of cases are happy
ones.

years experience the senior usually Is far
more deferential to the girls than is the

heated bail rooms are amazingly desIg-
mated, the graduate often wonders why the
girls he meets seem so deadly duh and un-
interesting.
Great progress has been made since the
| days of Aspasia, who tried to broaden the
women of Greece. Even in those pre-Chr;s-
tian days intellect had as much power as

Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The objectors to co-education are far
from consistent. One makes the fearful
protest that mixing young folks in col
ieses allows the girls to become SO well
acquainted with the boys that they will
not marry" while another asserts that such
colleges promote sentimentality and are
mere match factories Their defenders
are forced to +he expedient of the bicycle
agent, who insists that wheeling makes fat
people thin and thin people fat"
As a matter of fact. co-education can not
both prevent and promote matrimony

or tyrannical maSter-she cannot re-
spect the one or endure the other. But our
co-educational institutions do not turn out
any Of these classes. The very least OF
all do they breed the effeminate man and
the masculine woman.
Since men and women are associated in
every sphere of iife intellectual, social
phiianthropic, domestic; since, indeed, they
nave been educated together from infancy
through the dangerous period of the high
school, why should they be absolutely sep

The Chicken Must Go,

'iA'
The announcement that an alderman will
Introduce an ordinance forbidding chickens
to wander at will along the public streets
and boulevards of Milwaukee doubtless will
cause some surprise to residents of neigh
boring cities. 1t may be news to most per
sons that the public thoroughfares of this
thriving metropolis of more than 300 900
inhabitants up to this time have been con-
sidered a legitimate pasture ground for
wandering hens and hungry chicks
Milwaukee Is city of homes and the
raising of chickens is the avocation of
many business man, who naturally has
felt more or less jealous of his rights as
taxpayer. The asphaltum pavements have
appeared to many of these lovers of poul-
try to be a fitting scratching ground for
domestic pets. For that reason no restric-
uons have been put upon the early rising
rooster and the industrious hen.
Recently visitors to the city have been as
tonished now and then at the stopping Of
street cars for the purpose of removing
frightened chickens from the tenders
Strangers from the east who have admired
the high buildings, the fine parks and the
beautiful residences of Milwaukee naturally
have been inclined to make humorous re-
marks when conductors pause in their
work of collecting nickels long enough to
rescue a luckless fowl from the car track.
But no longer the Growing cock viii be
allowed to perch on ratings of downtown
business blocks. There will be an ordi-
nance passed making it misdemeanor for
chickens to wander beyond the boundary
of the back yards. and policemen will be
trained in the art of capturing fugitive
fowls. 1t is pleasant indeed, to know that
there Is at least one alderman who has the
best interests Of the city at heart The
chicken crusade should be carried on with
enthusiasm. Here's good luck to the re-
former who has the courage to abridge the
liberties Of the pestiferous barn yard fowl.
1t is time outdoor art had a chance to
make itself felt.

B E H Nd THE VEIL

Wedding and Mourning Wells of the

Written for The Evening Star.
The custom of wearing face wells among
the women of the orient is a very ancient
one, and undoubtedly the wedding and
widows wells of our day are remnants of
that old world fashion. The oriental wo-
man prizes her veil beyond any other ar
ticle of her wardrobe; rather than have a
strange man look upon her uncovered face
she will snatch a curtain, counterpane or
her petticoats in her haste to conceal
her features, utterly regardless of other
parts of her anatomy, which may be ex
posed by the action This need not seem
so very absurd when We remember that it
is part of most oriental religions 10 keep
the women in exclusion, and that Moham-
med of blessed memory made the command
a binding one.
