Cake and Divorce,

Comparatively slight things lead to mo-
mentous results. The accident Of a child
playing with eyeglasses gave birth to the
telescope. The collision of falling apple
with the nose of philosopher caused the
disclosure Of the law of gravitation. In a
minor degree, departure from conventions
has caused social revolutions. Fashions
have sprung from chance, as when the
Prince of Wales happened to leave one but
ton of his vest unfastened and the ultra
world adopted the trick a sign OF SWELL
dom. But sometimes the ignoring Of tradi-
ton Is not always productive Of happy re-
suits. 1t is, for instance, a rule, recognized
III all well-regulated households. that cake
should be eaten after meals rather than at
the beginning of the feast. In Newark
n. j.. lives family which has always fol-
lowed this astronomical mandate until re-
Gently, when the husband and father began
to reverse his menu and begin his meals
with cake. ExpostuIations by his conserv-
ative spouse had DO effect. She then began
to threaten divorce proceedings, but the
husband continued to eat his cake ahead Of
his soup. Exasperated beyond further en-
durance by such a perverse spirit, fearful
of the effect Of so revolutionary an exam
pie upon the rising generation. the wife
finally appealed to the courts. And now
the weighty question is being considered by
the opponents of Jersey Justice: Must a
man eat his cake according to Hoyle or can
he play ducks and brakes with the conven-
lions; in short, how far does the marriage
VOW control the menu and what is the legal
status of domestic iconoclast?

The Police and the Anarchfst..

Next month there will occur in this city
a conference of the members Of sub
division of the national police chiefs asso-
citation for the purpose. in the main, of
considering methods for the closer surveil-
lance of anarchists in this country At
that meeting. attended by some Of the
brightest police officials in the United
states, definite start may be made toward
national course of restriction over the
public activity of these dangerous elements.
Major Sylvester of the Washington police
force, president of the association, has al
ready started work on the organization of
national bureau Of exchanges whereby it
will be possible for the police officials of any
of the large cities to secure immediate in
formation regarding the movements of
criminals or suspects The supervision over
the anarchists now proposed is in extension
of that work, specialization.
Neither the national exchange of informa-
ton as to criminals nor the general CO.
operation of the police chiefs in the sup
preston of the anarchists should be left
wholly to this association, however 1t
should be given the formal authority of
federal enactment. To this end national
bureau might prof1tabIy be organized,
equipped with the machinery and the means
for thorough scrutiny of the whole coun-
try for the purpose of minimizing crime and
for the suppression of the subversive So
cieties. With the facilities for travel now
SO highly developed almost the average
criminal fugitive is captured, If at all, in
another jurisdiction from that in which
his crime was committed Thus crime has
become, more than ever. an interstate mat
ter of adjustment. Any concerted move
ment against the anarchists must neces-
sarily be likewise of an interstate nature.
The consultation of police chiefs at this
stage of the process Is highly important,
for as much as possible should be done In
advance of the enactment of federal legis-
lation to hold the reds in check and to as
certain the scope of their membership. AS
long as there is no national statute defining
anarchism and providing for it's suppression
little that is effective can be done without
the most thorough cooperation between
the state and city officials. Blundering by
the police would seriously handicap the
whole movement to purify the ranks of
citizenship. New York furnishes an in
stance of ill-advised work in this line. John
Most, arrested for publishing sedtious
editorial in his anarchistic newspaper and
released on bail, participated shortly after
ward in meeting, supposedly of the reds.
The police visited the place.. lost control
of the situation and broke. up the meeting
by arresting Most before any speeches had
been delivered in the hearing of the out
siders. In consequence the case is today
incomplete and there is no positive legal
evidence as to the nature of the gathering.
Discreet work Is required in dealing with
the police dodgers, and in the forthcoming
conference much of Importance might be
learned by the representatives as to the
best method of securing a case against
these slippery criminals.

The Funeral Train.
From the Philadelphia Press.


The obsequies Of Victoria involved two
short railroad journeys and the funeral
progress of the American President two
journeys as long as any railroad trips that
can be taken in Great Britain.
1t Is characteristic of English and Amer
lean methods that the English state flu
neral short as it's railroad trips were was
marked by delays to which the English
newspapers drew attention and that the
far longer passage Of the funeral train of
President Mckinley over distance as
long as the length and breadth of Great
Britain passed without delay to mar its
seemly and stately movement.
1t is tradition now Of half century
for the United States government to turn
to the Pennsylvania railroad. whether 1t
Is to move an army corps around half q
continent or to conduct with decorum and
without delay the national obsequies of a
President. All railroad arrangements for
the impressive journey of a week ago were
put in the hands of the officers and man
agement Of this great railroad system
1t may be doubted II any other could
have provided the train or the equipment

the discipline which insures the execution
of railroad plans. Certainly no other rail-
road system could have placed In conduct

one chief executive, and but recently for
President Mckinley himself, but Mr..
Boyd's resource and the resources Of the
great system he represents have never
been more conspicuously displayed than In

the American sentiment toward the admin
istration, this idea Is indeed In easy keep
ing with the probabilities. The juntas in
Paris and Hong Kong have never discrim-
mated carefully in the dissemination of the
news. Knowing full well the utter futility
of the Tagal cause, they have nevertheless
persisted in feeding the instruction with
the material and the sentimental means Of
sustenance. and today there Is reason to
believe that the Hong Kong committee IS
active despite the very general acceptance
of American sovereignty by the natives,
Tagals along with the other tribes.
The disaster at Samar should be warn
ing that the civil progression in Luzon and
some of the other islands does not warrant
a suspension of the military phase of the
pacifcation in those places which have as
yet not been reached by the American
hand of government. With Aguinaldo in
virtual custody and with scores of his asso-
eiates tremendously working under Alncri-
can rule, there Is every encouragement to
believe that a few well-directed strokes
will put an end to the guerrilla warfare on
any considerable scale and so preclude the
chance of such another deplorable happen
ing as the Balangiga massacre.

The National Memorial.

The Stars suggestion that the national
tribute to President Mckinley might APP
propriately be linked in some manner with
the grand structure. SO long delayed in ex-
ecutiOn. to be known as the Memorial bridge.
has attracted favorable attention in vari-
Gus parts of the country, notably in the
south, wnere Mr.. McKinley's services as
a paciicatOr are warmly appreciated. The
ST. Joseph (Mo) News, after quoting from
one OF The Stars editorials on the subject,
says:
''Of course the outside reader of The Star
Immediately suspects that there is an ak
to grind For years The Star, speaking
for the people of Washington, has been try
ing to get Congress TO build this bridge.
That 1t ought to be built no one doubts
But many people may object to this utili-
tartan way of spending the money given
for a Mckinley memorial.
Nevertheless the plan has its merits.
The great bridge uniting the north and the
south might very appropriately bear the
name of William Mckinley. But why not
get Congress to appropriate the money, to
build the bridge and then let the north and
south each raise money to build arches at
either end of the bridge in honor of McKin-
ley Such a proposition, uniting all in one
grand project and combining both the utili-
tartan and the beautiful, would not only Go
away with the suspicion of Washingtonian
seIfishness, but enlist all the people in the
project with enthusiasm.
There is no issue whatever in this matter
between the ST. Joseph News and The Star.
Each believes that the Memorial bridge
should be built as tribute to American
salor. and each believes that in some re-
lationship with 1t be constructed some deco
rative feature in commemoration of the
President who so nobly illustrated the
American ideal of patriotism. capacity and
forgiveness. The News suggestion that
Congress appropriate money directly for
the bridge and that the people contribute
toward the arch or arches is precisely in
line with The Stars thought. There was
no idea of really mingling the two projects,
as the News has misconceived. The Star
did think that by associating the late
Presidents name with the bridge at this
season OF general appreciation of his ser
vices the merits of the project might be
brought more conspicuously than ever to
the notice of the American people The
event has amply justified the course. Presf-
dent McKinley's sentiments toward the
south have become better known than ever
before as a result of this discussion, and
today the Memorial bridge enterprise has
no more ardent supporters than those OF
the south who are now urging forward
some such form of national expression
Washington has spoken and acted IN TINS
matter from no narrow spirit of selfshness
It cannot avoid realizing the fact that it Is
the center of national interest, and that
here is the most appropriate site for
memorial which shall testify to the grief
and the praise of the whole community
aroused by the Buffalo tragedy. The News
has accurately estimated the situation when
1t advocates a combination of the useful
and the beautiful in the proposed union of
arch and bridge.

The new leader would be Of the same kid

that quarter, and will make Tammany's

Tammany one year and coddling It the

Tnmmany and the Future.

The movement for the overthrow of Tam
many rule in New York is making excel
lent progress. and many of those engaged
in it are encouraged to hope for success.
Certain it is that the character and in
telligence Of the city are very much
aroused, and that the ticket nominated to
represent the aspirations for clean and
honest government is in every way strong
and attractive. The campaign Is. OF far
more than. local interest. People living ct
a distance are following 1t with a keen
desire to see a thoroughly corrupt politi-
cal organization soundly trounced at the
polls
But should Tammany be downed this
year how long will 1t remain downed? What
in the nature of hope will remain to it of
an early restoration to influence and oppor-
tunity? The organization will remain at
the old stand and ready for business. Sup
pose Richard Croker should be deposed.

Bad News From the Philippfnes.

The disaster in the Island of Samar.
which has cost the United States forces
more heavily in proportion than any other
since the Philippine campaign opened need
not be interpreted as meaning that the in
surgents are again formidable Samar is
VIGOROUSLY in state of greater unrest than
any other island in the group. 1t has from
the outset been center of Aguinaldian
activity and IL has naturally remained the
last Of the islands to be brought under
pacific rule. Evidently the campaign in Sa-
mar has not been pressed vigorously of
late. and perhaps there may have been a
mistake in not throwing a much larger
force into that territory and stamping out
the revolt in short order. But 1t is wise
to wait until the fullest reports are re-
ceived before adjudging on this point.
Some OF the dispatches and comments
suggest that the assassination of President
Mckinley has been reported In Samar as a
sign of American disapproval of his Phil
tppines policy and that this sudden on
slaught was the immediate consequence. II
Is not difficult to believe this hypothesis
1t is easy indeed to imagine the Tagal ir-

Saturdays race between Columbia and
Shamrock left little to be desired as
spectacle, but it was far from satisfac-
tory in demonstrating the relative quail
ties OF the two boats. So close race
might have been decided either way in the
last few minutes by capricious puff of
wind. The only clearly established fact
Is that the rivals are virtually in the same
class in general qualities when the wind
is light and uncertain When Shamrock
had beaten her way TO windward in better
time than Columbia the American hearts
sank. for 1t was felt that the challenger,
with her much greater spread of sail,
would surely be able at least to hold her
own in the run home before the wind. But
