Nevertheless. lqn s--~ies oil over
England and neveiA have seen more
lovely woman than Mary Lockwood
who has been immprtalized by the poet
southey as MARY the Maid of the
Inn"
She was tall and straight as Nor
mandy poplar. She walked from the
hips, as an athlete does. Her figure
had all the graces Of woman's curry
ing outlines, with suggestions of great
strength. Her arms were white as if
they knew none of the labor of house,
hold work Her head rested upon her
shoulders with the easy pose that sug
gests the head and neck of the race
horse She was fair, though her hair
was of a rich brown. Her complexion
was healthful rather than ruddy, her
eyes a deep blue; her mouth firm, but
with a tendency as if-it were to curl
into q smile. She wore a pleasant,
fearless, innocent expression.
There was no self-consciousness in
her manner. She would rather be COM
pllmented upon her strength and cour-
age than her beauty. She was five and
twenty, and had the strength of a man
and the courage of an army. She had
been brought up to rough 1t on a farm,
a wild girl of the meadows, until her
uncle, Joseph Morley. the landlord of
the Star and Garter. losing his wife;
took 1t into his wise old head that
Mary would be useful girl in the

There was no pleasantor coaching
house between London and the far
North, in the days when the great
highlands of England were lively with
the romance of travel than the Star
and Garter at kirkatall
To this day it challenges admiration
for its picturesque site, its handsome
bay windows, its pleasant smoking
room, and It's old-fashioned bowling
green, which is still frequented by low
ers of a time-honored game.
From the bright windows of the old
inn one still looks out upon the ruins
of the famous Abbey, and though the
river Aire is no longer clear and full
of fish, 1t flows through green meadows
and reflects such local beauties of
landscape as the needs of the busy
town of Leeds have not yet annexed,
In these days the river is begrimed
with dust, and clogged with the refuse
of mills and dye-works, When Mary
Lockwood was the belle of the field and
river thereabouts, and the bright par
ticular star of the bar-parlor OF the
local inn, 1t was a mirror in which
Venus herself might have been salts,
fed to cast the reflected image of her
beauty.
England was merry England then,
in spite of the severity of her laws, and
the constant drain which continental
wars made upon the manhood of the
nation. Troops were continually on
the march, Highwaymen on fleet
chargers dashed along the roads and
levied toll with pistol and an cpl
gram. Judges OF assize entered the
great towns in state, and left behind
them vague snatohes of tragic stories,
and in the name of Justice, an occa-
sional grim sign-post as warning to
evil-doers. On dark nights the clink-
ing chains of the gibbet made the
chimney corners seem more than usu-
ally snug, and gave an additional spice
of fear to the story of the local TRACE
dy, as the gossips loved to tell it,
while the wind whistled down the
chimney, and the rain ratified at the
easement.
With all their drawbacks, these were
merry days. Men loved the country,
lived country lives and ate plain but
wholesome fare. as%isn. superb

Mr.. Olney in the Fight.

The democratic congressional committee
has put into the hands of a special commit
tee the task of formulating the issues for
this years campaigns. 1t Is an excellent
move. In view of the differences of opin-
ion that now exist in the party organiza-
tiQn. In union alone is strength and
every intelligen. effort to effect union
should be made.
The suggestion. however. that the issues
of trusts and the tariff are to be handled
by Mr. Olney hardly promises well-except
to the trusts. Mr.. Olney is a very able
man, but owes his distinction in life to
corporation services and influences. He Is
rated as one of the most accomplished cor
poration lawyers in the country. When
Mr.. Cleveland in organizing his second
cabinet, appointed Mr.. Olney Attorney Cen
eral the then leading democratic newspaper
OF America protested vigorously and de-
clared that the appointment was a conces-
sion to trust circles and a return for trust
assistance In the campaign that had re-
suited in Mr. Clevelands second election
Upon retiring from Office Mr. O,ney re-
turned to his law practice, and to the cor
poratiOn fees which there can be no doubt
he we'll earns. Have him prepare the con-
demnation of trusts? Doesn't it sound
little odd?
In the matter of the tariff his views will
carry greater weight. Although New Eng

Care in Judicial Appointments.

In the selection of judges the appointing
power has every reason to be especially
scrupu!ous 10 avoid the slightest suggest ion
that the spOils principle operates in in
fuenciug his choice. No other function of
the public service demands such a high
quality in the appointee. such an absolute
divorce from political influences.
This truth is generally recognized by ex-
ecutives- 1t is to be assumed that if Presi-
dent Roosevelt concluded to ignore the Dis
tri2t's plea for a locA successor to Justice
Bradley he would endeavor to selec, a
man in all respects qualified to fill the po-
sition. high-minded, capable. well versed in
the law. absolutely beyond question in his
Integrity But such care in selection. how
ever well evidenced in the results. will not
prevent the faint of the spoIs principle
from resting upon the appointment
The mere fact of ignoring the plain JUS
tiee of ths Districts demands in this in
stance would stamp the appointment of an
outsider as of a political nature. The rea-
sons for the selection of a Washingtonian
Tor this bench have been fully stated by
The Star. They cannot be ignored with
out suggesting a determination to use
this office for political purposes. There is
no lack of local judicial talent. There is
no deadlock between factions. There is no
custom OF equity which dictates the selec-
ton Of an outsider. The District pays half
the expenses of this curt and has been
gwen since that plan was adopted. half of
the positions The dead juriSt was a Wash
lngtonian. and if replaced by an outsider
the Districts genuine representation on the
bench will diminish TO a bare sixth of the
court.
President Roosevelt has been too stanch
and sincere a friend of the merit principle,
as opposed to the spoils system, to be sus-
pected now of a wanton desire to play poll
tics with this office. He will doubtless rec

tiers. and luminous object lesson Of the
value of protective tariff. some of the
most aggressive ard intellectual advocates
OF strictly revenue tariff have always
been found in that section. Mr.. Oiney is
probably Of the number, and II he Is may be
relied upon to state that side Of the ques-
ton with considerable force.
One may wonder why In turning over the
trust question to Mr.. Olney the campaign
committee did not at the same time ask
him to prepare condemnation OF what Is
known as government by injunction" That
issue. it will be remembered, grew out Of
the Chicago strike which Mr.. Olney ended
by applying the federal authority. He act
ed with vigor and promptness, but for 50
doing was censured at the time by many
of his party friends. and in the platform
of 1896 the plank dealing with labor had
reference distinctly to Mr.. Olney's attitude
on the subject as Attorney General.
At the hour when this committee work
was being shaped here, the democrats
OF Tennessee were nominating a state
ticket and adopting a platform. They in
dorsed the Kansas City platform. and that
OF course commits the democratic candi-
dates for Congress in that state for the
coming campaign.

The Day of Tribute.

Half a dozen years ago there was none
t. forecast that today the great comment
orative occasion in the national calendar.
the people would be observing a Memorial
Day of wider significance than ever before
No man thought that today the graves in
the haIlowed places, covered by flowers and
flags wept over by mourning friends and
relatives the subject of rare eioquence and
patriotic services by all the people, would
include those of a new generation or pa
triots But nevertheless the nation now
mOurns the loss of thousands of men whose
services for the republic. while not so great

lives were lost in the war of preservation.
were nevertheless as freely given. as pa
trioticaIIy inspired, nobly performed.
President Roosevelt today at Arlington
appropriately bespeaks the nations SYM
pathy for the army in the Philippines. He
condemns the crueIties which have been
proved against the individuals and promises
their punishment. But he points out the
great service which that army has rendered
to civilization and calls upon the people to
stand firmly in opposition to the clamors
of those who would besmirch the forces
with ISLANDERS and cripple their efficiency.
These sentiments appeal strongly to the
men who wore the blue in the sixties. They
were themselves the object of slanderous
attacks. They felt the sting of the injustice
OF their own side as well as the bullets of
their enemies.
But today all bitterness should be put
aside. all enmities forgiven. 1t is a day of
reunion as well as recollection. The pass
age of time has permitted broader views
and clearer vision. 1t has shown both sec
tons that the sacrifices of the war between
the states were not in vain, that out of that
trial has emerged Il nation stronger, more
C impact. more progressive. more ardently
devoted to the principles of its foundation
than ever before. If demonstration were
needed of the fruits of that bloody sacrifice
the short. successful struggle with Spain
afforded II.
1t is the earnest prayer of all today that
1t will be long before the significance of
Memorial day is again broadened by the
addition of the rolls of another army of
heroes to those whose graves are today
bedecked with tributes. The republic is at
profound peace with the world. It's cam
paign for civilization in the Philippines IS

Memorial Day and Memorial Bridge.

This should be the last Memorial day per-
mitted by the government to pass without
a tangible start being made toward the
construction of the great Memorial bridge,
which Is to bear such a close relationship
TO the national day of patriotic recollection.
AZ the crowds pass today over the Aque-
duct bridge on their way to and from Ar
lington cemetery the object lesson of the
practical as well as the sentimental reasons
for the immediate provision of the proposed
means of access becomes once more glar-
ingly apparent. Even with the only avail
able bridge structure In good condition per-
hitting a maximum of use instead of
minimum. there would be strong arguments
in favor of more direct and presentable
bridge.
The occasion drawing the thousands
across the river from the capital is in itself
a commanding factor for the project. They

commemorated by impressive ceremonies,
participated in by the President of the
United States. But the visible, physical
link between the hallowed ground and
the capital for the sake of which those
sacrifices were freely made Is shabby weak
and in every way inadequate.
At least a decade has passed since the
first vigorous steps were taken by patriotic
citizens and officials to remedy the defect.
The strongest arguments have been brought
to bear upon Congress to secure even a
modest beginning appropriation. Patriotic
organizations throughout the country have
adopted the cause and besought the ma
tional legislature in and out of season to
provide this means of communication be-
tween Washington and Arlington, If not as
a monument to those whose names are
commemorated at the cemetery at least as
a fitting link between the past and the
present, between the north and the south.
Southern men, keen as their northern bTeth-
rem for the reunion of the states. have join
ed in the petition. The project has been
placed upon distinctly national plane.

motives of economy now because of the
jealousy of architects, next because Of an

ject has beer neglected and postponed and
ignored, while the demand for the con-
struction has become insistent as the need
for the bridge has grown greater with
years.
Next autumn the Grand Army of the Re
public will assemble in Washington in an
nual reunion, perhaps for the last time
under the shadow of the dome of the Capt.
tOl. OF all the projects now preparing to
mark that event, so solemn and uplifting in
it's significance, none is more happily con-
Ceived than that in the presence of the vet
Grams of the war of the sixties. with repre-
sentation from the south as we'll as the
north, the corner stone of the Memorial
bridge shall be laid with appropriate cere-
monies. There is rare opportunity in the
execution of this plan for an occasion of
the broadcast national significance, of great
practical moment in binding the sections
firmly together. 1t is impossible to estimate
the extent of the patriotic uplft which may
be caused by so eloquent a tribute to the
martyrs of the nations cause.
There should be doubt whatever that
as result of this days demonstration of the
practical as well as the sentimental need of
this bridge Congress will appropriate be-
fore adjourning for the session a sum suff1-
cient to permit work to be started under
the impressive auspices thus proposed. The
occasion will never again be found suit

Buencamino.
From the New York Tribune.

Senior Buencamino. who was formerly
Aguinaldos secretary of state, has come
from Manila to Washington to declare that
the civil government in the Philippines is
doing an admirable work. and is well sec
onded by the army. He adds that the army
has conducted itself in a way to elicit praise
from all right-thiRking Filipinos. What a
monstrous thing this Is. How dares this
man. mere Filipino, who has been living
in the Philippines, come over here and tell
such stuff in the face of the superior wis
dom of Springfield and Boston? What does
he know about Philippine affairs compared
with Edward Atkinson? And yet the very
folks at Washington who declined to hear
Atkinson will doubtless listen to Buenca-
mino. How sharper than serpent's tooth
it is to have pro-American Filipino!

General Leonard Wood.

The Boston Evening Transcript says:
mo man has made more flawless rec
ord In connection with the Cuban business
than General Wood. Why not send him to
the Philippines"'
Flawless? That was the opinion for
awhile. both in the United States and in
Cuba. In fact, the Cubans were so well
pleased with his services that they took
leave Of him with many compliments and
manifestations of friendship. 1t looked in
deed as though General Wood might be en-
tering upon a period Of rest and congratu-
lations on every hand He had the indorse-
ment of his superfors at home, who were
familiar with his work. and nothing seemed
lacking. But he was hardly ashore on his
return before the anti-imperialists began to
move upon his works. Extravaganza in Of
fetal expenditures during his stay in Ha-
vana is charged, and thorough overhaul
ing of his accounts is demanded.
General Wood announces ready. He
courts the fullest investigation of all his
official acts in Cuba. and those who know
him can easily understand his confidence
and courage. But Of course the parti-
san batteries are now trained on him he
may expect a raking fore and aft; and
maybe if he were proposed for mission to
san ends-would be vigorously fought.
There can be no doubt. however, of his en-
tire fitness for the work in the Philippines,
for important work anywhere.
But the work in the Philippines is in
very capable hands. and there is lively and
very wide satisfaction at the information
that Judge Tafts health is far from being
precarious. A late announcement is that
his malady yields to treatment, and that
he will arrive in Manila greatly benefited by
his vacation. He has done, according to
all accounts most excellent service in the
Philippines. He has all the qualities de-
manded by his office-abilty. knowledge of
the law, tact. industry, and patience. He
enjoys the thorough confidence of the Presi-
dent, of Secretary Root and of all the
vantages of American control of the archi-
pelago. Still, ne has his critics. The anti
imperialists raise their eyebrows at his re-
ports of progress. and while he was a wit
ness before the Senate Philippine commit
tee it was charged in certain quarters that
he was lacking in candor and showed a
disposition to cover up the real situation in
the Philippines.
To the assertion often made by the
anti-imperialists that We not as a peo-
pie prepared for the new duties we have
undertaken two men alone are sufficient to
make adequate reply. We have only to re-
fer to Judge Taft md General Wood
