Wyman of the marine hospital service
But it is an awkward designation still He
is not an officer of either the army or the
navy. and so has no chance to plead for
such a special title as the naval surgeon

Supervising inspector general of steam

the inspector general of the army, to the

Chairman Hanna.

The announcement that the republican ma
tionaI committee will meet in this city early
I'm December to name the time and place for
holding that party's next national conven-
ton has revived gossip about Mr.. Hanna
and the management of Mr.. Roosevelts
campaign Nothing new Is presented. But
we are told again that Mr.. Hanna is not as
young as he was In 1896. that his health is
impaired. that he is not as much attached
TO Mr.. Roosevelt he was to Mr.. Mckin-
ley, and that for these and other reasons he
has decided to retire from the national
committee craftsmanship and let Mr.. Roose-
welt fill the Office with some man nearer TO
him. Nothing of this comes from Mr..
Hanna. but II is widely circulated ard gives
rise to a good deal OF interesting talk
1t would probably be well, however. to
discount 1t all pretty literally. For a sick
man Mr.. Hanna is leading rather siren
uous life. and is carrying the seven years
that have been added to his score since 1886
with great ease. His relations with Mr..
Mckinley were. of course. intimate and af-
fectionate but he seems to get along very
well with Mr.. Roosevelt The efforts that
have been made to SOW trtstrust between the
test In Ohio Mr.. Roosevelt has expressed an
Mr.. Hannas friends have taken pains to
use the deiiverance In the campaign. This
makes for good feeling; and if Mr.. Hanna
Is successful at the polls next week he will
probably he glad to call at the White House
and thank the President for his friendly in
terest and assistance.
There are reasons, then, why Mr. Hanna
should not be counted out of next years
equation without his authority. The chances
of his reelection to the Senate are said to
be excellent He is already, at the end of
his first term. leader in that body, and an
Endorsement at home will add to his pres
tige. His place. too. at the head of the ma
tionai committee gives him much power.
The approa ching campaign Is going to be
exciting from start to finlsh and a man of
Mr.. Hanna's temperament and experience
would hardly enjoy 1t in any other than
leading place. AS q high private in the rear
ranks he would not be able to get a good
look at the procession. Better wait until
next summer. and take the lay of the land
then.

The Anarchist.

The attorney for the man Turner. ac-
cused of being an anarchist and as such
under orders of deportation to England. de-
clared in court yesterday that anarch!Sm
was not a crime. but religion. He heid
that 1t was subversive of the bill of rights
to send from the country any person pe-
cause of his entertainment OF such views
as those cherished by his client. Thus he
admitted the accusation, but demurred 10
it's sufficiency to warrant deportation.
There is probably no distinct or generally
accepted definition of anarchisn. But there
Is a pretty clear notion on the part of the
public and of the law-mak!ng bodies as to
its nature and the menace to the state
which 1t embodies. 1t is generally held to
be a philosophy which aims at the destruc-
ton of all social order. as maintained by
what Is styled government. 1t Is individ-
ualism carried to Its extreme. 1t IS
theory which all knowledge argues to be
impossible of practical execution.
1t is characteristic of the whole crew of
anarchists that this man should seek refuge
behind a fundament of government In his
fight against deportation Some of them.
when confronted. quote the statute laws in
their defense. Some quote the constitution
This man refers to the bill Of rights. He is
thus trying to utilize to his own ends the
very machinery of government which his
creed denounces as useless. dangerous and
subyersive of personal liberties.
If anarchism is religion. and as such is
exempt from the interference of govern
ment. there is no reason why any body of
fanatics of the most malevolent and de-
structive kind should not seek this same
cloak 1t is a large one. 1t has shielded
many miscreant in it's time. 1t has served
many an evil purpose. Look eastward and
witness the horrors properly attributable
to the religious zeal of the MOhammedan
and the Chinese Buddhist. Religious tOier-
alton is truly one of the foundations Of this
great commonwealth. but its very virtue as
a safeguard lies in the right of the state to
draw the line of discrimination to exclude
from its benefits the elements which. I'M
checked would destroy all religions and
all liberties.
The prompt expectation of this man and
all others like him will work for the
strengthening Of our institutions and for the
benefit of the people. 1t has been urged in
Turner's behalf that he is not blood
thirsty anarchist but that he is merely
philosophical In his views. Such men are
more harmful than the ranting. raving reds
who scream for the demolition of all social
fabrics He plants tbs seeds In fertile soil
His shrewdly devised arguments incite his
hearers to lengths which he would himself
pretend to deprecate. If the hand of. the
law can reach such teachers and suppress
them it will do more good than the mere
rounding up of their poor deluded followers
who lack their intelligence and self-re-
Strant.

Government Titles.

Surgeon General RiXey's recommendation
of Al line of legislation which will give his
Office the title Of surgeon admiral and those
of his subordinates corresponding desisna-
lions OF rank will cause much amusement
In Unauthorized circles. Doubtless. however,
il the title of the chief medical officer Of
the navy had in the beginning been styled
as DIR. Rixey would now prefer there would
be no popular scorn or demur. The public
ear Is accustomed to the phrases surgeon
general" "paymaster general" etc. The
word general in all such titles Is taken
to signify not a specific designation of rela-
tive rank as much as an indication of chief
ship. For many years. however. the off,

Russia and France.

The arrival of the Russian minister Of
foreign affairs in Paris to confer with the
French minister of foreign affairs is an
event which at this time easily lends itself
to lively speculation. Russia may, or may
not be suspicious of France because Of the
latters recent exchanges with Great Britain
and Italy. but undoubtedly those affairs
have attracted general attention. At the
time the alliance between France and Rus
STA was formed. France had for some years
been occupying lonely place among the
nations. In fact. the alliance by many was
explained by that fact. Russia was the
friend in need. and France entered into
terms which some of her own statesmen
thought unwise. But since then the Euro
pean situation has changed somewhat, and
today France Is on pleasanter terms with
everybody. She may not need Russia as
badly in her business as she once did

The Police and Juvenile Courts.

The mild controversy now in progress
over the present method of conducting the
Juvenile court in this city only emphasizes
the need of specific provision of law for an
institution of this kind which will be sub
ject to no criticism and will not be affected
by the inadeduacies of the present police
court equipment. 1t is evident from Judge
Kimballs letter. published today, that at
best the Juvenile court is makeShift, Suf-
ferlng from the abominabie deficiencies
which hamper the main establishment In
their annual estimates the Commissioners
ask for So 900 for the purchase Of site for
a new court house. an extremely modest re-
quest in view of the necessities of the case
and the long delay which Congress has
caused by its repeated ignoring of the mat
ter If there is in the minds OF the MEM
bers of the houses a settled purpose to
house this court In the new municipal
building it is to be hoped that it will be
speedily removed. For such an association
would be exceedingly undesirable. The
court should remain in the general neigh
borhood in which 1t is now located. within
easy reach of the other courts and the Of
fees of the attorneys. 1t should not in any
case be housed under the same roof with
the administrative bureaus 1t is by Its
kept away from the other branches of the
District government.
In any provision for police court care
should be taken to make room for a Juvenile
court which will remain as distinct estab-
Iishment as far as possible. Indeed, it would
be greatly to the interest Of the community
to have this place for the trial OF children
wholly separated from the other court, 50
that the young defendants might not be
compelled to come in contact in the least
degree with the deInoralizing atmosphere
which. under the best of conditions neces-
sariy surrounds the place for the trial of
the miscellaneous offenders against the
laws and the regulations. The fact that
the present device. while far better than
previous arrangements. is unsatisfactory
should stimulate all who take an interest
in this matter to work earnestly for the
procurement OF a large appropriation for a
new police court. with a sufficient sum in
addition for model Juvenile court.

Worse Than War.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Civilization Is queer thing. The sleeping
car blanket and such like disseminators Of
disease as the plush street car cushion and
the feather duster would be impossible In
some lands which we count far beneath us
in the scale of advancement. What
thoughtless indifference tolerates them
among us Is hard to understand. They are
more fatal than war; pestilence and famine.
Only their deadly work is done. quietly.
Dramatic death Is required TO arouse our
languid interest. Yet poison and the dag
ger are childish playthings beside the
pathogenic germ. And 1t has no more con-
genial hiding place than in the Pullman
blanket, or that filthy. poisonous token of
corporate selhshness, the ancient plush
traction car cushion.

chist The plea that such aliens shall be
allowed to enter the United States and re-
main with all the privileges of citizens of
foreign countries here as residents until
formally tried and convicted will not stand.
The first duty we owe to ourselves is to
keep them out vigorously. II they manage
to get in, the law properly provides for
putting them out. II they contrive to escape
deportation for three years, naturalization
is denied them America Is the land of
