The Guards scandal remains the subject of
paramount interest in political social and mill
tary circles. Admiral Cochrane has not proved
his charge that Colonel Kinloch authorized a
subalterns' court martial TO take up the case
of Lieutenant Leveson-Cower, and punish him,
but he has ~trongly supported Lord Robertss S
action in holding the commanding officer of the
battalion responsible for the irregular methods
of enforcing discipline in the Guards Brigade.
Nothing short of a general order holding the
coionels of the regiments responsible for inquisi-
tions and f1oggings conducted by subalterns can
prevent thorough investigation of the peculiar
customs of the Guards Brigade Apologists for
these customs offer the fimsy excuse that the
regimental messroom has borrowed the accepted
principles of public school discipline They
neglect to add that flogging is administered with
greater indecen y by adult officers than by up
per form schoolboys. They are also guilty OF
perverse frivolity in explaining that it is some
times necessary TO fog a subaltern for becoming
infatuated with a ballet girl or for paradlng
his indiscretions at restaurants in the presence
of his superior officers While fioggng has virtu-
allv disappeared from the criminal admlnlstra-

1t is understood that the White Star Line will
take over control of the Leyland New~York
service This is the first step toward cen
tralization of the business Of the Morgan ship

proba ple that it will be followed gradually by
other similar movements. The idea seems to be
that this piecemeal merging of different lines
will continue until all the lines of the Interna

housed together under one roof.

THE republicans in congress have
finally become convinced that the

Cor lack of fuel. and have agreed
vEith their democratic colleagues
that the coal tariff should be remov-
ed, but will only make it temporary.
Since prominent republican states
men first denied the existence OF
such a duty, and when shown their
mistake declared that it was an
5nexcusable imposition, it is diff
dcult 10 understand why the repre-
sentatives of the party in congress
should refuse to repeal the duty
once for all. The insolent coal
barons, who openly defied and
saunted President Roosevelt, on his
irst effort to settle the coal strike,
so not need any protection. nor do
they deserve any consideration at
the hands of congress.
