doubtless heard of it for the first time
through the newspapers.

A ~well-knoyn writer of verse publishes
a poem entitled Decoration Day." in which
occur these lines:
who questions which one wore the blue,
Which the gray?
NO matter, So each heart was true
In its day"
There is an old song which recites the
long record of crimes committed by a Ger
tain man. He beat POLL his wife, he
neglected her, he ran ava with another
woman, returned. ran away again, and so
on Indefinitely. Relating his deeds the
faithful wife declares cheerfully,
mo matter what you do. your art be true.
And Is art was true to Poll"
The sentiment of the Decoration day poet
quoted above is about as sound as the other.
1t really does matter which wore the blue
and which the gray. whether the hearts of
the later were true or not.

ton the Endorsement will be made unani-
nous. II he had chosen to be factious or
stubborn in the matter he could have made
much trouble. but his change of front has
been followed by perfect harmony. The
Cleveland Leader says: INC man in the
country has been or will be more useful to
the President than Senator Hanna. He is
chairman of the Republican national COM
mittee. and in all probability the burden Of
the campaign will be put upon him next
year" Senator Hanna Is a great organizer
and campaigner. and the Republican party
will be fortunate in retaining his services
as chairman OF the national committee next
year.

On the recommendation Of Admiral Dew
ey. president of the naval board. the gov
eminent has decided upon an elaborate
scheme Of coast defense for time of war.
For this purpose the entire coast line Of the
United States. including both oceans and
the gulf OF Mexico. is to be divided into
thirteen districts. each Of which shall have
. separate organization and commandant,
while all will be under a common head. The
plan ,lso includes the establishment of five
neg calling stations on the Pacific coast,
x e.ding from San Diego. CAL. to Dutch
Aarsor. IN the Aleutian islands. Dutch har-
tor Is In the direct commercial route be-
tween the ports of Boring sea and southern
Alaska and the Pacific coast of the United
States. There is no coal suitable for naval
purposes mined anywhere within some thou
sands OF miles of Dutch harbor. and the
naval authorities regard IL as a very eligi-
bic site for a coal depot. Rear Admiral
Bradford. In a report recommending 1t. said:
Attention Is also invited to one of the
great political questions OF the day. viz.
the settlement OF the boundary between the
Territory OF Alaska and the Dominion of
Canada. There Is abundant evidence going
TO show that the spirit of Canada on this
matter may be considered as threatening.
Between Alaska and the continental limits
Of the United States Is located the domain
Of q foreign country.
The territory separating Alaska has good
haroors and ample interior waters, and this
fact alone constitutes a great strategic aG-
vantage TO a possible opponent. II certain
ly constitutes a strong reason why the sin
sws Of war. whatever they may be, should
he stored In Alaska.
All OF which goes to show that our naval
authorities are not forgetting the wise in
Junction about preparing for war in time Of
peace.

RIGHT TO LICENSE
DR.. Tristram, Chancellor of Lon
don, Defends Action on the
Grounds Of Law Granting
Millionaire Permission to Wed.

LONDON. May 2s.-In a letter to the
Times, occupying three columns. DR..
Tristram, Chancellor OF the London
diocese. to-day defends his action in
granting tho Observation-Disclosures
marriage license bv law n custom.
DIR. Tristram contends that he was
obliged to grant Mr.. Vanderbilt's APP
plication.
The Chancellor's answer to the Bish-
on of London's severe criticism forms
the text for a lengthy editorial In the
Times. which says DIR. Tristram's ar
gumeEt opens up an important contro-
versv between church and state. The
Times maintains that the Rev. r. IL.
Hadden's act In marrying Mr.. Wander
bilt md Mrs. Rutherfurd was due
solely to an error OF judgment. which
1t hopes will not be copied by others of
the English clergy. and dep%recates the
heavy moral censure which seemed to
ee implied by the Bishop OF London's
language"
The Times upholds DR.. Tristram's con-
tention that he had no right 90 interfere
In a matter so dubious, whereon the
House of Lords and the House OF Com
mons had themselves legislated in d.
rect contradiction of Zach other and RIO
the general, moral sense OF the public"
The editorial continues:
1T would seem a great hardship that
by the sole fault OF che guilty party an
innocent person should be placed during
the lifetime OF that partner under one
OF the greatest and most trying disabil-
tiles that can be inflicted, a disability
which may involve the greatest tempta-
ton. and where Christian opinion has
been and Is clearly divided. Even cler-
gymen owe some Difference to he laws
OF their country, n sun more to the
moral sense OF Justice in the commun-
ity." s
