An out-of-Date System.

Financial Chronicle.
The most progressive of modern States,
financially as industrially, we are cling
ing to an awkward fiscal system con-
trived some sixty wears ago. and recog-
nized, even then, as a temporary make
shift The two cardinal principles of ma
tional finance, that the treasury OF SOL
vent State must never be allowed to go
empty. and that, on the other hand, It
must never lock up the money of the
people, are not merely ignored by our
Lawmakers. but are all forced on the
executive. When we read. every now and
then a Jubilant newspaper paragraph
over "record-breaking" amount of free
gold" held in the United States Treasury.
it occurs to us that the viziers Of the
Asiatic potentates probably rejoiced at
the same thing and for the same reasons
Enthusiasm over the absolute withdrawal
of a huge sum of money from the use of
commerce strikes us as purely barbaric
II a private capitalist were TO do what
the treasury is doing. he would he treated
like a malefactor. and quite rightly. But
the power of ancient tradition in political
affairs is very great.

PRIZES DISTRIBUTED
WINNERS IN RECENT CoMPETI-
TONS AT oRDWAY RANGE.
Address by Assistant Secretary OF
War-Ovation to Battalion Of
Engineers, U. S. A.

With Assistant Secretary of War Sanger
as presiding officer the prizes offered in
connection with the recent military rifle
competitions at the Ordway range were
last evening presented to the winners with
proper ceremony. The distribution took
place in the drill hall of the Center Mar
ket Armory of the District National Guard
in the presence of a large assemblage of
spectators. A portion of the hall was roped
off and within the Enclosure thus secured
the winning teams and individuals were
formed in line, under the direction of Major
r. d. Smms. 9Th Battalion, d. c. N. G.
The gittering array of prizes was spread
on tables draped with the national colors-
At the southern end of the hall the band OF
the Engineer Corps, II. s. A, was posted.
The musicians added much to the pleasure
OF the occasion by rendering selections at
intervals.
Shortly after $50 o'clock, Major Simms
having reported that the winners were In
line, Gen. Harries, commanding the Dis
triCt Of Columbia Militia, stepped to the
front and introduced Assistant Secretary
of War Sanger. Mr.. Sanger delivered an
interesting address, speaking particularly
of the effort of the War Department to
bring about better understanding between
the army and the National Guard. He re-
marked that the opening of certain of the
contests at Ordway to teams from the
army was a step in the right direction.
The Roll Called.
Mai James e. Bell, inspector general Of
rifle practice, District of Columbia militia, at
the conclusion of Assistant Secretary San
gers address began calling the list of win
ners. the teams and individuals marching
to the front and center in the order in
which they were called to receive the prizes
to which they were entitled. The complete
list of winners and prizes has heretofore
been published in The Star.
An ovation was accorded the team of the
Sd Battalion of Engineers, U. S. A, when
it moved forward to receive first prize in

Secretary Sanger and General Harries ex-
tended congratulations.
The attendance included District officials,

nOrs of the prizes.

POLICE ON THE ALERT.
But One Attempt at Burglary Made
Last Night.

The many robberies and attempts at rob-
berry made Wednesday night, as stated in
yesterdays Star. have caused consterna-
tion among residents of the city, and in
many instances doors and windows were
made more secure than they had been at
any time since the days Of Jack the
Slasher." Police whistles were in great de-
mand, and cartridges were put in weapons
that had not been loaded in a long time.
Mai. Sylvester and Acting Capt. Carter
held conference and made every effort to
cause the apprehension of the burglars last
night The latter kept under cover, how
ever, and but three reports of the character
of those made yesterday were received to-
day.
Dallas Pickett of BOG I'd street southeast
Informed the police that his house was en-
tered between l and o'clock this morning
through a window. The early morning call
er took 2 cents. two car tickets and a pen
knife from the pockets of Mr.. Pickett's
trousers.
Later in the day a complaint was received
from George B. Bury, who keeps a drug
store at Monroe and Jefferson streets An
acostia. He reported that an attempt was
made to enter his store about o'clock this
morning. The burglars were frightened
away before they succeeded in effecting an
entrance.
c. B. Campbell, proprietor of a drug store
at 200 E street northeast, stated that an at
tempt was made to enter his store Wednes-
day night by forcing open the door with a
jimmy. The attempt was unsuccessful.
Maj Sylvester in making arrangements
yesterday for the better protection of the
city realized more forcibly than ever the
need of a larger police force. In order to
give the protection required ii was found
necessary to work many men day and
night. Those who had been on duty all
day had to be sent out to perform night
duty and the working strength of the force
was badly crippled in this way. The atten-
ton of the Commissioners and Congress
will be called to the necessity for a sub
stantial increase in the number of PSiice-
men in the superintendent annual report,
and Mai Sylvester hopes his appeal for
proper protection will not go UNDECIDED.
Instructions were given the police to ar
rest all suspicious persons found the
streets especially those whose conduct
made it apparent that they were not in le-
Ultimate business. One arrest was made
during the night Mounted Sergt Hart
captured race track follower who
was unable to give a satisfactory account
OF himself and he was locked up. Unless
fine Of $40 is paid for him he will not return
to a race track for six months. The work
of looking after tramps and suspicious per-
sons viii be kept up, and many arrests will
probably be made during the next few days
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne was the victim of sneak thief es-
home. 915 Rhode Island avenue, was Wis

Several bicycles were reported stolen yes

where they had been left by their owners
without being locked or without anybody to
