THE MILITARY FUNERAL.

The funeral of the late Queen Vie
toria is likely 10 be one OF the most
spectacular and memorable pageants Of
the time. The remains will be escorted
from Cowes by the magnificent warshlps
OF the greatest naval powers OF Europe,
ana from the landing place to the last
resting place. the military forces Of the
United Kingdom win march in the pro-
cesslon or line the route.
Some surprise Is expressed that the
Queen, who was known 10 be an ardent
advocate of peace, should have ex-
pressed desire for military funeral.
but this Is not strange. when II Is re-
membered that Great Britain owes
much of her greatness to the army and
the navy. The wish TO have a military
funeral may have been last &C

rather severe criticism Of present
methods, which consume so large a por-
ton Of the heavy taxes the citizens are
paying for the privilege Of being gov

II go. II deserves consideration.
Mr.. Booth-Tueker asserts that the
results indicated would be obtained by
an Intelligent colonization plan. His
point IN this. that the criminal left to

the sumy OF crowded cities, where crime

every experiment tried for the re-

to him the opportunity for useful and

independence, has met with signal sue
cess Perhaps no more striking illus
tration can be found Of this, than the
present status OF some COLONIES" that
originally were peopled with individuals
condemned to deportation for life.
There can be no doubt OF H. that
criminal tendencies are increased and
developed where the dangerous ele-
ments Of the community congregate,
Join strength and mutually encourage
one another TO defiance Of both divine
and human laws. The remedy for this
would be 20 cleanse such places thor

Now let tn. senator compare his own
statement which Is true but fatal TO
his own argument, with the assertion
Of the autocrat OF the health board
whom he supports, which we have pub
lished before and which Is as follows,
verbatim:
I'm my opinion there would be no
danger 20 be anticipated from the at
tendance OF teachers at the state
Teachers convention, provided they
shall have been successfully yacclnat-
ed. otherwise there would be great
danger. They would not be liable TO
carry the disease TO others unless they
themselves should first have contracted
IT,"
One more assertion made by the sena-
tor who would bar out healthy. unex-
posed children from the schools, we will
briefly notice 1t Is this:
"A great many people are In favor Of
Il Gthe bill who do not know what 1t
Is or what its effect Will be. ! am In
formed that every State In the Union
has law similar to the one which
this measure Is designed 10 repeal. which
gives the board Of health the right to
exercise judlclous authority under po-
lice regulations"
II the people whose intelligence Is
thus deprecated, have no better in
formation than the Senator's, as dis
played IN those expressions. they are
indeed In the dark and unqualified TO
pass on the question. First, the bill
does not repeal any provision Of law
Second, all the 'judiclous authority
referred to will still remain, II the bill
becomes q law Third. every state In
the Union does not have such law as
he claimsi and where compulsory vac
cination Is established by law. healthy
school children are not selected as a
class solely to be operated upon.
The people Of Utah. or. as stated by
several legislators. ninety per cent OF
them, unite In calling for this measure
to abolish certain arbitrary regulations
which they deem oppressive. partial
and not warranted by law. Are they
to have no voice In matter that con-
Germs their welfare and that Of their
children? Has II come TO this pass In |
Utah. that popular government is for |
the time abolished and the will OF
few physicians and their small follow
ing, Is TO override and stihe the pub
lie voice spoken In no uncertain tones?
We hope not.
We advise calm judgment In the set
tlement Of this matter, and fair treat
ment. n compulsory vaccination Is
proper. make 1t obligatory by law. and
enforce II upon all alike. II It Is adj

and let the bill passed by so large a |

As TO AN EXTRA SESSION
Chicago Chronicle.

Current opinion" at the capital is
quoted TO the effect that a call for an
extra session would be justified only
by the total failure OF one OF the most
important appropriation bills or the
army reorganization bill. The river and
haibor bill and the bill to reduce the
"war taxes" might both fail without
creating any necessity for an extra ses-
sion. Indeed. current opinion" goes
so far as TO say that the country could
survive without an extra session even II
the army reorganization bill should fail
II points out that the country IL worry
Ing along now under what Is called a
"makeshift" measure which provides

service in the Philippines and else

traordinary service Is over.

The place OF Giuseppe Verdi among
the worlds great composers would have
been secured had he died a generation
or more ago. He was, more than any
other who comas to mind. precocious In
youth and productive even In extreme
old age. The world owes much to the
man who became organist IN his native
town at the age of ten and scored one
OF the great modern triumphs with
"Falstaff" at seventy-nlne. From their
nature the florid productions OF his
earlier career are more popular than
those later works In which he APP
preached closely TO what has been
termed the music-drama, and which
showed that at threescore he was not
too old TO be affected by modern inhu-
ences. OF which Wagner's was Of course
the strongest,

When DR.. Johnson wrote that the
death Of Garrick had "eclipsed the gay
ETY. Of nations" he defended the phrase
on the ground that II was "a pardonabIe

apology or excuse need be given for APP
plying the words to the death of Verdi.
The great Italian musician added more
to the general Joy OF the civilized world
than any other man OF his time. There
was class that raved over Rossinl.
ana there Is school that cultIvates an
alteration OF Wagner, but Verdi was the
master Of the universal heart. His
music sang itself into the hearts OF all
who heard II, and remained as lasting
memory to be summoned no at will
whenever there was felt need Of song
to give expression 10 emotion.

lay comes from that body Its WE'LL
