large part to his efforts.

McFaul Pretty Direct.

At the evening meeting Bishop Nc
Faul was the principal speaker and di-
rected his attention to the treatment of
the friars and the school question in
the Philippines. The bishop said in
part:
'The calm, intelligent observer must
admit that some of the statements
made in the public press regarding
the situation in the Philippines were
either incorrect or exaggerated. There
was, nevertheless, a very substantial
foundation of truth in most of the re-
ports which amply justified the stric-
lures made upon those accountable for
the abuse of power.
No one is foolish enough to admit
that in affairs of SO important a ma
ture mere denials are conclusive par
ticularly when made by interested par
ties. We had already been warned to
be on our guard by previous contra
dictions of reports which were after
wards proved true and found worse
than at first suspected. When the news
arrived that the Catholic churches in
the Philippines were desecrated and
looted officers of high rank in the
army attempted to refute the charges,
yet the desecration and looting Of
those sacred edifices are now so GER
tain that claims for damages to &C.
clesiastical property will be accepted
by the government.

not followed generally 1t would throw upon
a few merchants and other employers the
whole burden of supporting the guard by
guaranteeing the places of its members.
The remedy for the difficulty lies rather
In the education Of employers than In
specific statutes. The latter might be en-
acted for their moral effect, but it is to be
remembered that If they are uncomfortable
they exert bad rather than good effect
upon the public mind. The employer who
refuses to recognize his duty in the prem
ises must be made to feel that he is endan-
gering his standing a patriotic citizen
and his business success by rendering him
self odious to the public. Perhaps through
such a course of enlightenment he may be
brought to realize the ACCESSIBILITY of stand
ing stanchly always by his men who are
members of the guard, encouraging them in
their devotion TO militia duty and assuring
them of permanence of employment during
good behavior.

Guaranteeing the Guardsmen.

A member of the Pennsylvania legislature
is now engaged in framing a bill to prevent
employers from diseharging employees who
leave their places to obey orders as militia
mon. He gives no intimation OF the line of
legislation he contemplates. whether the
prohibition will take the form of compul-
sorry employment under the orders of court
or penalties imposed IN case of dismissals.
II the law is to be more than a mere Pigment
OF legislation. without force and effect An
employer capable OF Diminishing a militia
man worker for such a cause would be quite
as capable of showing his disrespect for
specific statute commanding him not to do
so. If. however, the law puts ii within the
rights OF the dismissed clerk TO appeal to
the courts for reinstatement the guards
man has some redress.
But 1t is to be doubted whether even such
measure would prove altogether salts
factory. The employer might reinstate his
clerk under such pressure. only to find an
excuse for dismlssing him later He would
naturally entertain no kindly feelings for
such employe and would seek the first OBJ
portunity to drop him. Perhaps he might
argue that the miiitiaman worker is an un-
desirable employe at best. being subject to
calls at all hours and for indefinite periods.

The News From Russia.

1t may be well to receive the stories now
in circulation about the car s. mental con-
dition and his probable future course with
caution. Russia is a fine field for rumor,
and the ear is a shining mark.
Only a few years ago we heard, almost
daily stories about the kaiser which repre-
scented him being almost in the condition
of a mailman. Now he was so gruff and
moody that very few people could approach
him except at the expense of their self-re-
spect. Now he was on his yacht at sea
preaching sermons and performing all sorts
OF antics. Now he was threatening his
mother with expulsion from the country.
And so on. 1t was explained that his crazy
humors grew out of an affiction in his head.
which at periods discharged freely through
his ears and foretold an early complete
mental eclipse. SO persistent was this cru
SADIE that an investigation was set on foot,
and regular conspiracy to disestablish the
kaiser was unearthed. A lot of hired fakirs
had been INDUCING in a carnival Of inven-
ton. and that explained 1t ALL
Is the car now a victim of such ma
neuver? One does not easily associate him
with the hard requirements of autocratic
rule. His character Is in many particulars
unlike that of his father, who was a Rus
sian of the accepted type The world thinks
of him as a young man of kindly if some
what serious temperament, happy In his
domestic relations as a fortunate we'll
conditioned gentleman in private life, and
solicitous after a sympathetic rather than
ambitious fashion for the welfare Of his
people. But this does not describe a weak
ling-a man easily discouraged and eager
to put off the responsibilities of high rule.
On the contrary, the best courage and the
greatest patience are often found linked
with such qualities.
The cars task, as one may See is ex-
tremely difficult. The prevailing discomfort
in Europe, which takes the form of an In
creased assertion by the mass of the people,
Is felt even in Russia. In time, too, the
effect will show there as elsewhere For
even in Russia. as education advances and
the development of the country brings 1t
into closer touch with the out side world,
the people must receive the consideration
which the improved conditions make nat

A Supreme Court Building.

Foremost among the governments public
building plans now are such enterprises as
the provision of new home for the Su-
preme Court. for which there Is urgent
need. Friends of the schemes for the de-
velopment of the capital are hopeful that
Congress may devote some attention to
this project during the coming winter, even
though the session will be brief The plan
Is we'll understood 1t has been discussed
for many years. For some seasons 1t was
unpopular in certain quarters, but now
there is practically no objection to the re-
moval of the court from the Capitol build
ing Space In that building is at high
premium and the rooms vacated by the
court would be most valuable to the Senate,
which is compelled to seek quarters outside
for the accommodation Of it's members
The business of the Supreme Court has
grown to such proportions that it requires
a more adequate housing. The dignity of
the court demands for the justices individ-
ual consultation rooms. There is probably
not a state supreme court in the country
which is not better housed and surrounded
with more ia cilities for the proper transac-
ton of business. 49," sr--
There is but one site in view for this
structure, when authorized, namely, that

occupied by the Library of Congress, north
of East Capitol street This land is in
effect under the presumption Of the govern
ment. 1t has stood thus hampered In it's
development for years. and it is only just to
its owners that the government should
soon declare its intentions and relieve the
land from Its membranes.
This plan of locating ON the site opposite
the Library a great temple of justice con-
forms to the scheme Of the Senate's park
commission, which recommended that
eventually nothing should stand adjacent
to the Capitol grounds but public struc-
lures Of a dignified character. Thus far
there has been no move toward carrying
any of the commissions plans into effect.
No better start could be had than in the
direction Of a Supreme Court building,
which SO precisely fits into the scheme.

to no better advantage than to secure the

The Automobile "Honker."

People living in cities are having much
the same experience with the automobile.
that they did with the bicycle a few years
ago when that machine became so popular
The frequent accidents due to the reckless
ness Of noyices which occur today find .heir
counterparts In the record Of maimings and
killings which resulted a decade or more
ago from the speed and carelessness of
wheelmen. One minor matter of which
complaint is now made Is very like that
which aroused the public during the days
when the bicycle was the terror of the
pave. This is the alarm sounded by auto
mobilists when approaching possible vic
tim. The 'honk" of the horn is as star
Ting and nerve-racking was the offensive
little sharp jangle of the bicycle bell, which
the authorities compelled wheelmen to
adopt. Out OF a comparative silence comes
this goose note, raucous and rasping, Of
fensive to the ear and disturbing to the
nerves The chauffeur-the name is q sad
misft In most cases-seems to delight In
waiting until just before reaching the pc
destrian before squeezing the bulb and
emitting that note OF imperious command
1t Is not a request or a notification. 1t Is
a mandatory order. Get out of the way
or be run down." it says. And 1t means 1t,
too. The wise walker takes no chances on
a bluff as matters now stand. He side
steps and makes tracks for the curb It re-
ouires nerve to assume the position Of hav-
ing the right of way. There Is no certainty
as to the outcome. The man at the "honk-
err may really think that the walker means
to move at the last moment. or he may not
care, after he has once sounded his warn
ing. When chided for the carelessness of
running into a person he usually replies, In
defense, why didn't he get out OF the
way? | warned him In plenty of timet"

The Appointment of Judge Gould

The appointment today of District At
torney Gould to be judge of the District
Supreme Court to succeed the late Judge
Bradley is in every way satisfactory to the
people of Washington. Judge Gould is
thoroughly identified with the capital city
and intimately acquainted with Its legal
processes. AS practfcing attorney and lat
terly as district attorney he has shown
himself to be man of conspicuous ability
and energy. He meets completely the
spirit of the principle that District judges
are most wisely selected from the District
bar, thoroughly familiar with local law and
procedure. Chosen from among three able
men presented to the President by the Bar
Associa ton, his appointment represents
the favorable judgment of his associates
and Of the appointing power. The District
is to be congratulated upon this outcome of
the contest, and Judge Gould upon his
wen-deserved promotion.
In the selection of one of these three men
the President has done only that which was
right in the premises. He could have gone
aield for his nominee, as was threatened
at stage of the contest for this posi-
ton. The law imposes no restriction upon
him, and custom grants to the states at
large one-half of the local judgeships But
the states half is now filled. and the selec-
ton of a local man was demanded in the
interest of equity and an even balance on
the bench.
1t is unfortunate that this decision could
not have been reached several months ago,
when the situation had been framed eX-
actly as It stood just prior to Judge Gould's
selection. The delay in the appointment
has caused a congestion Of court business,
happily not so great as, though the sum-
mer vacation had not interviewed. With
full bench, however, the incumbents being
