The American Toru.
He Is Out of Place, Out of Date, and
Walking Backward.

A new type of citizen has ap-
peared, the American Tory. He is
found alike in the editorial chair, IN
the counting house, and in the fac
tory. This personifed anachronism.
the American Tory, has a low opinion
of the intelligence Of the masses. He
goes farther in his skeptieism than
the most extreme Federalist of the
last century.
The prominent figures of HamIl-
toms party, even when urging consti-
tutional safeguards against sudden
outbursts of popular passion, had
profound faith in the Judgment of
the people. That faith today is the
key to national progress. Political
equality is right Ii is the best known
civic device for the proper develop
ment of social order
The weak spot in the contention of
the American Tories is that they
would cultivate qualities Of the mind
at the expense Of graces Of the heart.
No great civilization was ever based
upon the stark brain-power of any set
of men. 1t is not enough to think ont
an algebraic formula of human socie-
ty. 1t must be lived out. Both the
aristocrat and the savage can think
sometimes they think alike-but
neither can found great nations.
Civilization is the robust child Of
brain and heart, and must grow in AN
atmosphere Of morality The purely
intellectual aristocrat, bred in the tolls
of subtle erudition unwarmed by the
temperature Of humanity, can domi-
neer. but he can neither guide nor
counsel wisely. The sentiment of
even justice and of brotherhood. man
TO man, avowed in universal suffrage
and vindieated IN MANY ordeals OF
this the greate5t of nations, is the
vital educating force Of this genera
tion.
Mighty is the power Of public
opinion" thundered Webster, in Fa-
neuil Hall, as fifty years before JEFF
ferson had said: 'The will of the ma
jority is the natural law OF every
society and the only sure guardian of
the rights Of man. Per-
haps even this may sometimes err;
but its errors are honest, solitary, and
shortlived Let us then forever bow
down to the general reason Of
society"

The Danger He Incurs in Writing
Sassy" Letters to Senators.

sassy Letters 10 senators.
1--WE hae our doots," as the Scotch
man says, about the Hon William
Dudley Foulke, a member of the Civil
Service Commission. His recent
course with regard to certain charges
launched in the United States Senate
against him is neither wise nor justi-
fable. He has lived long enough 20
know that members of the deliberate
branch of Congress of them, at
least-cons:der themselves privileged
10 perform any and all kinds of
stunts" SO, at least, the Hon. Sid
ney Emanuel Mudd, of Maryland,
seems TO think. Indeed, If we are TO
believe the distinguished representa-
tive of the Fifth Maryland District,
they SAY such things, and they do
such things" behind closed doors
well, its no use going into the merits
of that little "unpleasantness," too.
Let US return to our 'muttons," as
they say in France.
The Hon. William Dudley Foulke
should break himself of the letter
writing habit It's a bad one. It'll
get him into trouble, sooner or later.
1t will get anyone into trouble who
takes himself too seriously. And the
Hon. William Dudley Foulke, we
fear, is given to taking himself rather
solemnly.
The Civil Service Commission. we
know, is not a giddy, young thing to
be trified with. On he other hand.
however, we should hate to see it sur
rounded by an impenetrable atmos-
phere of sanctity. That brooding
Buddha business is very impressive.
of course, but it has its limitations.
There is constant danger that its dew
otees may share the fate of the ibis,
of whom T. S. Dennison, Poet Lau-
reate of Porkopolis, has written:
The ibis is a holy bird
At least I've heard say 50.
And from his very solemn look
think he means TO stay 50.
Beside the Nile, upon leg,
ne stands sandy bottom.
And Seems very full Of thoughts.
You wonder where he got 'em.
Some men are like that sacred bird

They stand around and look 50 wise,
And yet there's nothing in 'em.

him. But let him, first of all, stop

Divorce and Widow.

Inasmuch therefore as she could not be

TO the terms Of the Italian law

far as the civil portion of the ceremony

The Great Falls Line.
Its Construction a Welcome Step in
Suburban Development.

Ihe constructlon-now apparently
assured-of an electric road from
Georgetown to the Great Falls of tho
Potomac, promises TO extend in new
direction Washington's constantly ex-
panding suburban traction system.
The territory to be opened on the Vir-
ginia side of the Potomac has been
hitherto hopelessly isolated and mae
cessible.
Falls Church, with its trolley line
TO RosSlyn, has become one of the
eIty's recognized suburbs. But the
country between that line and the
r1ver bank has remained practically
unknown and unvisited. Few Wash
lngtonlans, IN fact, are aware that on
the Virginia shore west and north OF
the Chain Bridge, can be found a
stretch OF country unmatched in this
region for its picturesqueness and
wildness. Invading this wildwood
back or the Potomac palisades, the
electric road will terminate thirteen
miles up the river at the Great Falls.
The scenic value Of these falls has
also been but little appreciated in
Washington, where we are far from
realizing that they offer a spectacle
genuinely imposing in its natural
beauty and rugged grandeur. Apart
from their enormous Importance as a
factor IN our industrial development.
the Great Falls will constitute another
potent attraction to the sightsears
who flock to Washington. Bringing
them within easy reach-for hitherto
they have been practically a full days
journey off-will therefore prove a
substantial local benefit, encouraging
a travel which may some day rival
that built up by the Alexandria and
Mount Vernon trolley road.
Moreover, as giving Washington a
new outlet for its enormous suburban
summer travel, the new road will De
sincerely welcome The country Il
traverses Is the freshest and widest
about the city, and on July and Au-
gust nights a journey to the Great
Falls Will offer material eompensa-
tions for the sufferings of our fiereely
torrid midsummer days. We hope 10
see the proposed Great Falls line com
pleted and in operation at the earliest
practicable moment.
