ROOT AND TAFT.

The Journal has had repeated occasion 10
speak approvingly OF the course OF Secretary
Root while at the head OF the War Depart
ment. He assumed control OF this depart
ment when its affairs were in rather COM
plicated. not to say chaotic. condition.
owing to the Irregularities that had partly
grown out of the haste necessary 10 the
transaction OF business during the Spanish
American war. and partly due to Anticipated
methods and conflict of authority. He
took hold of these affairs with an intelli-
sence and energy remarkable in one whose
attention up TO that time had been given
to quite different matters, and rapidly
formulated a plan for remedying obvious
evils and improving the army in every re-
spect II the new law for reorganizing the
army was not entirely his measure, it's pas
sage was, at least, largely due to his eff
forts. Military men are nearly unanimous
in their approval of this law, and speak
with admiration OF the rapid and energetic
manner in which 1t has been put into effect
under the secretary's direction. A man Of
clear understanding and force, and with
much executive ability, he was able to
bring about In a brief time reform in mil
itary conditions whose need had long been
felt, but that might. under a less deter
mined Official, have been indefinitely de-
layed. Having achieved his purpose in aid
ing in the passage of the law and in putting
the plan of reorganization into operation.
he naturally felt that another might carry
On the work as well, and his decision to
return to private life is not surprising. AL
though his service was In time OF peace, he
has accomplished work that will distin-
guish him among the men who have held
the same high office.
Judge Taft, who Is to succeed him, will
tons for the position. Our military prob
lens for the next few years are likely to be
mainly in the Philippines. Judge Taft, as
head of the civil government there for two
years or more, has had opportunity to I'M
derstand the people and the conditions thor
oughly, and will be able to direct military
matters with an intelligence that will great
ly aid in solving the complicated problems.
He will undoubtedly fill the difficult position
with credit to himself and to the country.
President Roosevelt has been fortunate in
his advisers. and in choosing Judge Taft
for his war secretary has made a selection
that seems both wise and in accord with
public judgment.

THE Two-MINUTE TRoTTER.

The dream Of American turfmen and all
been attained. The two-minute trotter is
here. 1t has taken good many more than
nineteen years to clip the nineteen seconds
off the worlds record made by Dexter, and
si9O0O.OOO would scarcely cover the expense
OF the feat But it has at last been attained,
and done with a most remarkable jump OF
more than two seconds in the record. Some
of the result may be accredited to inventive
genius In developing the pneumatic tire,
ball-bearing axle and other mechanical i'm
provements designed to lessen the friction
the trotter must overcome, but the great
bulk Of the reduction in time has been due
to generation after generation of careful
training and scientific breeding.
Harness racing has always been pecu-
iiarly American sport. They have harness
races abroad. but they are rather poor imi-
tations Of the real thing seen on this side
of the water. 1t is in America that men
with large fortunes have held ideals on the
subject of harness racing. have spent their
money to develop perfection Of gait and
speed. and used their influence to keep such
racing on high plane Of honorable sport.
Thus it has happened that the trotter and
PAGER have never degenerated here into mere
gambling instruments, and their race meets
have never been given much attention by
the poolrooms and bookmakers. Public in
terest and the personal interest OF the own
ers of trotting and pacing stables has de-
pended almost wholly upon an ideal. and
has been tainted very little with the money
getting spirit While running races cannot
prosper without the betting attachment. the
bookmaker has had practically nothing to
do with attracting the crowds that always
attend good harness races.
Naturally. Lou Dillons wonderful per-
Torrance had hardly been finished when her
owner set new mark for her to attain and
now that the dream Of decades has been
made a reality, turfmen will quickly adjust
their hopes to a still more remarkable goal.

ask, Are your intentions serious, kind
sir?" Or is each and every teacher ex-
pected to hang a placard upon her door
bearing the legend, "No attentions received
and no proposals considered until vacation"
Possibly Il Is thought that the conscientious
teacher will advise any eligible sutton who
makes his appearance to go and court some
other girl until school is out.
So far from interfering with the associa-
ton by teachers with respectable and intelli-
gent men-no others aspire TO their society
1T would be the part of wisdom to en-
courage such companionship by every pos
sible means. even though the road led
straight to matrimony. In the first place,
teaching is an occupation that needs all
possible outside diversions and palliatives
to make it endurable. Theoretically it is
a noble calling: in practice it is depressing
TO the mind and wearing to the body.
Teachers need to be cheered up in order
to be good teacH1s, and to the normal
woman nothing. it is said. is more cheer
ing than the society and respectful atten-
lions of a mice man" Teachers, by the
very nature of their calling, are more shut
off from masculine society than almost any
other class of women, many of them living
virtually the life of nuns. If the Kansas
schools boards had the gumption they ought
to have been born with they would encour-
age courtship among teachers in every pos
sible way. II the suitors are not accepted,
at least the teachers have enjoyed a dis
traction supposed always to be agreeable
to the feminine soul; if matrimony results,
then the chance is greater of the supply OF
female teachers becoming scarce and OF
opening the way to the employment of more
men, thus meeting the approval of the
solemn educators, who aver that children
are in danger of being feminized by having
only women teachers.

One of the masters in German school

whose ages range from fourteen to fifteen:
"Will you allow your son to smoke and

rier in provincial town with a salary of

tobacco. One sister is married to a man
who keeps a wine shop; another is a dress

humbleness of the family is expressed in
these obscure employments of it's members,
but titles and honors are claimed by genoa
logical authorities for former generations of
IL, matter which is of small concern. In
telligence, responsibility and humble worth
have characterized all of it's members of

enough ancestral record for anybody, even

STORM AND HEAT.
indianapolis Visited by an Electrical
Disturbance.

Disturbance.
Much to the surprise and delight OF every
one the mercury was toppled off its PIN
nacle yesterday afternoon a little after
o'clock by a furious rain and wind storm
that came up suddenly from the west The
storm spent its fury in a few minutes, but
while it lasted it played havoc with peo-
pie and loose objects in general and caused
a jovial scattering in the down town streets.
For while it seemed that small cyclone
had struck the city, the wind was so strong
but aside from damaging me telephone
wires, no serious injury was done. The
telephone companies complained last night
that their connections with outlying towns
Anderson, Charlottesville Greensburg.
Brazil, Richmond, Lebanon, Edinburg and
several other places-had been severed by
the storm which was heavier in the neigh
boring counties than here in the city.
AT the time of the storm the thermometer
was making rapid progress towards the
high-water mark of last month and had
equaled yesterdays record of 81 degrees.
lieving 1t was hotter than 1t really was al
though it was plenty hot enough. The
thunder storm cooled everything on and
made life worth living. During the hour
of the shower the thermometer dropped
from 80 to TO- BY o'clock last night 1t
had only regained four degrees. At inter
walls during the evening there were light
showers and a continual cool breeze.
In no place in the country did the mer-
curry climb higher than SO, which was In

Norfolk, Va. The thunder showers were
local and heavier in this part OF the State.
Forecaster Blythe, Of the local station Of
the weather bureau, says that conditions
are favorable for continued cool weather.
For to-day he predicts thunder showers
and lower temperature. The thermometer
registered as follows at different hours

PLAN BLOCKED BY TURKEY.
Scheme to Excavate Ur of the Chaldes

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-After more than
three years of preparation and effort. and
the expenditure of more than 5000, plan
for the excavation Of Ur of the Chaldes
and other places in Babylonia by American
explorers has been formally abandoned be-
cause the Turkish government will not
grant permission to American citizens to
do work.
In letter to subscribers to the Ur ex-
petition, the Rev. DR.. John p. Peters,
chairman of the advisory board. says: "On
June 10, 1900, an application was made for
an trade to excavate Maugheir Ur of the
Chaldes and Nawawis. The required topo-
graphical map was submitted with this ap-
plication. The application was in all re-
spects in conformity with the law of Turk
ish Empire governing excavations. No
permission to excavate mas been obtained.
nor has a satisfactory reason been given
for the failure to grant sucn permission.
Later, at the suggestion of the Turkish
authorities. Tel-Ibrahim was substituted
for Maugheir with the same result. DR..
Edgar j. Banks the director of the expe-
dition, has been In Constantinople since
Jan. z, 1901, earnestly pressing tie Turkish
government with the cooperation of the
United States legation for permission TO
sxcayate."
