Senator Simmons of North Carolina
says the only way for the President
to build g respectable" Republican
party in the South is to commence at
the ground and build upward: and If
he should attempt to do any such
thing his strongest opponents would
be those who now vote the Republican
ticket. No; Southern Republicans do
not want respectable" party. The
leaders are now pretty much all in
office, and to regenerate the party
on the lines suggested would mean
the firing of them all out.

After good deal of patient inves-
tigation, the Geological Survey thinks
it has arrived at the true derivation
and meaning of the word Chicago"
Prof. Gannett of the Survey says that,
in the language of the Miami Indians
"she-gahg' meant skunk-weed or wild
onion. The skunk was called she
kaw-kaw,3 on account of the similar
ity of its odor and that of the wild
onion Both wild onions and skunks
abounded along what is now the Chi
cago river, and from them both river
and town were named. 1t is pun
gent explanation.

A Seattle dispatch says the chase of
Tracy. the convict, cost the county of
King, in which the most sensational
of Tracy's exploits were pulled off
the total of 1888, in addition to the
lives of two or three officers. And
the money cost to Tracy was moth
ing. He did not even pay for his
own powder and shot, but forced I'M
willing farmers and others to replen-
ish his arsenal when his supplies ran
short at their own expense.

A HAND IN MANY ENTERPRISES.

A New York paper says that the firm
of ]. p. Morgan & Co, which is COM
posed of twelve partners, is interested
to a greater or less extent in proper
ties which have a capitalizatio
of S6,44S, 100000. The magnitude of this
amount of wealth is too great for the
human mind to grasp. The national
debt of the United States is only about
81, 107 900, 600. Here is banking
house that is controlling to a greater
or less extent. or at least has a voice
in the management of, properties
which have value about six times the
country. 1t is not to be wondered at.
under such circumstances, that Wall
street remains comparatively quiet
when Mr.. Morgan is away on his vaca-
ton, but shows activity Immediately
on his return.
Not long ago it was stated that
there was a movement among bankers
and others in Wall street to request
Mr.. Morgan not to increase the res
possibilities of his banking house-that
is, not to undertake any more enter
prises. This was not because of any
jealousy of his banking house, but
because it was thought that for finan-
cial safety his banking house should
not increase its liabilities and respon-
sibilities. 1t was urged that if hard
times came and a report got abroad
that the house of ]. p. Morgan & Co.
was in trouble it would be impossible
to prevent a panic that would PROSTATE
financially the entire country.

Once more the date for the begin
ming of the millennium has been fixed,
this time definitely. 1t is to have it's
commencement in the year 1929. but
many important things preliminary
are to occur in 1906 and the interven-
ing years until the actual Inaugural
ton of the thousand years of peace
and happiness. This is the statement
of Rev. M. Baxter of London, who
has figured 1t all out from the Book
of Daniel. According to the reverend
gentlemen, there will be great politi-
cal upheavals in Europe and some
terrific clashes of the Powers. But,
on this side of the ocean, there need
be no uneasiness: we are left out of
the calculation entirely.

President Roosevelt wishes consti-
tutional amendment that will place the
control of the trusts in the national
government But how long would it
take to secure such an amendment?
Would the President guarantee that it
could be secured in five years. or ten
years, or even fifteen yearsg Amending
the constitution is a slow and tedious
process. as has been abundantly de-
monstrated. And while the agitation in
favor of a constitutional change was
going on, the trusts would be increas-
ing their power.

I'm discussing the treatment of
wounds in war Cheyne expresses the
opinion that the experience thus far
gained does not warrant any modifi-
cation in the surgical procedures
adopted for similar injuries in civil
life. He believes the good results at

due to the modern bullet and to the
dry hot climate and not to modern
surgery and asepsis. small wound
quickly heals because of the slight
amount of bruising of the environing
tissues and because it is rapidly COW

mosphere. Wounds larger than an

every soldier carries with him as asep-
tic is an absurdity, as il is frequent

The District government has never had
an official home of it's own, and The Star
did not cease to deplore the fact and to
bring it to the laggard attention of Con-
gress until, after many years of effort,
it saw an appropriation for a local munich
pal building written last spring into the
current District appropriation bill and the

Gradually these pleas have been granted,
until today a system of milk and food in
spection is in force which probably repre-
sents the maximum of official precaution
against disease from such sources. When
ever cases have been carried to court The
Star has upheld the hands of the author-
ties in their work. even when at times hard
ships might incidentally result to indivd-
uals The health of the whole community
has always been more highly regarded than
the welfare of single persons.
The Stars fight against the oleomargarine
frauds has become nationally known, and
this paper is given a large share of the
credit for the enactment during the last
session of Congress of a statute which,
if strictly enforced, will prevent further
sales of butter limitations at butter prices.
The Star has never questioned the whole
someness of these limitations. but has con-
sistently stood fatty against the practice
of foisting off upon innocent customers the
imitation article in the name and at the
price of the genuine.

Bridges.

The Potomac river bridges have never
been famous for their beauty or strength
number. In that one respect the capital has
been especially neglected. and The Star has
seized every opportunity to call for a
change.
Its protests against the dangerous state
of the Long bridge have been repeated
upon all appropriate occasions, such as
when freshets. caused by the long. low
structure blocking the ice in the spring,
have damaged property in the city. Now
the old bridge is to go, to be replaced by
two new structures, for the railroads
entering the city from the south the other
for highway use. The Stars protests
against the placing of two bridges so close
together were unavailing. An early and an
unflagging advocate of the Memorial bridge
Planned to join the city and the national
cemetery at Arlington, The Star has regret
fully seen the years pass without action. It
annually champions the project when Con-

Education in the District.

Washington has always offered, in The
Stars belief, ideal field for a great edu-
cational center. 1t has not only called for
generous appropriations for the public
schools of the city and their development
along modern lines of business instruction
and manual training. but it has encouraged
the establishment here of colleges and uni
versities. Today. with such institutions as
Columbian, Georgetown, the Catholic, How
ard and the National universities flourish
ing, the capital is recognized playing an
important part in the education of young
Americans. But the future is brighter than
it has been for many years, with the newly
endowed Carnegie Institution soon to take
it's place among the broadening influences of
the District, and to make final and best
use of the governments incalcuable facili-
ties for instruction and culture. The Star
feels that it's dream Of decades is about to

Civil Service Reform.

The Star was an early champion of civil
service reform, and it was greatly reJoiced
when that principle was applied to the
government service. Apart from the funda-
mental justice and wisdom of guarding the
public offices from the raids of spoismen
The Star recognized in this idea the saliva
ton of Washington from the deplorable
conditions of early years. when changes OF
the federal administration were marked by
great upheavals in all the ranks of the pub

fered. The majority of residents regarded
themselves as mere temporary jewellers,

Reformatory Institutions.

The Star has taken close interest III
the proper maintenance of the Districts re-
formatory institutions, and it demonstrated
this interest in a practical manner in
1889. when it conducted an investigation
at first hand in the person of one of
its reporters of the management of the
workhouse 1t discovered that abuses exist
ed there and the publications which fol-
lowed the brief stay of the masquerading
reporter within the walls resulted in
wholesome and lasting reform. The Star
long urged and has finally been gratitied by
the establishment of separate place OF de-
tention for women and children accused OF
crimes and msdemeanors. 1t has not yet
prevailed upon Congress to substitute
modern building for the wretched makeshift
which now houses the Police Court, but it
hopes that the new impulse of capital max
ing which is finding expression in many
ways will result soon in removing this
cause of complaint against the negligence OF
Congress.

prise is sad one, of often broken promises
on the part of legislators.
The Home Rule Principle.

In all the discussions of local administra-
tive affairs The Star has always taken a
conspicuous part. 1t has urged the estab-
lishment of the principle of home rule for
the District through the selection of local
men for local offices. Particularly in con-
nection with the position of recorder of
deeds has The Star waged an active fight
for this doctrine, contending against re-
peated infractions and carrying its opposi-
ton at times even as far as urging the re-
lection by the Senate of the nomination of
outside politicians. It's course in the case
of Recorders Trotter and Matthews, named
by President Cleveland for this office caused
it to be recognized as an earnest champion
of the home rule idea.

structure thus formally assured. 1t was
then further gratified when the site was
chosen within the great triangle lying be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall.
where The Star contends, all future public
buildings should be constructed.
Protective Departments.
The fire and police departments have al
ways received hearty support from The
Star which has Endorsed all their demands
upon Congress for larger forces and more
generous compensation. Holding that no
community can afford to be nggardly in
respect to these. it's guardians, it has an
nually asked that the citys number of both
firemen and policemen be made more closely
proportionate to it's size and Importance.
Similarly the National Guard has been
constantly an object of The Stars solicit
tude in all seasons. 1t has seconded re-
QUESTIONS for large appropriations for
armories and training camps, and has
urged upon the employers of militamen
the wisdom of permitting their helpers to
participate in the occasional duties of the
guard without risk of suffering in conse-
uuence When war came in 1898 the Dis
trict militia was in a state of exceptional
preparedness for the field and it's repre-
sentative regiment reflected credit upon the
capital in that service

Free Baths and the River Front.

With such a long stretch of water front
as Washington possesses The Star could
never rest content with the paucity of facil-
tiles for free pubic bathing which was so
deplorable until a few years ago Long ago
it asked for free baths to be established on
the rivers edge, and when later. through
the enterprise of citizens, the bathing beach
was instituted The Star indorsed the plan
and was largely instrumental in securing
for it formal official sanction and financial
support. 1t is now an established public
institution.
The condition of the Potomac wharves has
always been a cause of deep regret to The
Star. which impatiently followed the tedious
course of the litigation to determine whether
the title to the lands rested in the govern
ment or in private owners When at last
the decision was rendered in favor of the
government, The Star began to urge the
preparation of plans for the creation of a
water front creditable to the city and even
feature of its artistic beauty. Later this
idea embodied in the project of the
Senate's park commission, which recon-
mended the construction of river boule-
ward, joining the parks of the east and the
west and giving access to a series of
masonry docks to accommodate the local
shipping
