The Genius Of America.

It appears from the letter of reader of
The Star, which Is printed today, that the
statue on the dome of the Capitol Is prop
erly to be styled neither Freedom" nor
Liberty" but that it is officially desig
hated as the Genius of America" This. he
writes, Is the term used in the contract be-
tween the United States and Sculptor
Crawford for the making of the figure, and
it is its baptismal name. This is indeed
getting far from the popular assumption.
Probably the great majority of people
speak and think of the figure as the Statue
of Liberty" A few Of them happen to
know that 1t has been mentioned in some
official statements as the figure Of Free
dom" They always take delight in cor
recting their misguided friends. Some of
them gleefully tell of the error committed
by one Carl Browne of Coxey march fame,
who. CARRIED picturesquely. though not
cleanly. in flowing robes the personifi-
cation of Liberty. having sacrificed his
beard In the interests Of mankind. apostro-
phized the statue on the Fourth of July In
the Coxey year from the Peace monument
plaza and then sank dying behind the
tawdry curtains of his improvised chariot
They charge Browne with not only calling
the lady "out of her name" but Of address,
ing her back, thing that no true gentle
man should ever do. especially when he
considers that the lady cannot herself turn
about to face him. For 1t is q fact that
the great figure faces the east. Moslem-
like. 1t is reassuring to know that neither
the "Freedomites' nor the "Libertyites'
are correct. but that the lady's name is
Genius of America" 1t Is not so easy to
say quickly as either of the other titles,
and so probably she VII continue to be
known by her most familiar title-Liberty.

Summer Vacations and Typhoid.

About this time of year people begin to
think of going away for the summer. They
look afield to seek pleasant places for rest
ing. places where the children can be made
happy and kept BEAUTIFULLY busy, where their
elders can enjoy good air and good FOOD
and recuperate from trying business and
social duties There are many opportunl-
ties At the seashore on the mountains, in
the country. in the forest by the lakes, In
the wilderness and in small villages. Every
taste can now be met, every purse accom-
modated.
One consideration should be kept promi-
nently in mind in choosing the summer
resting place. Be careful that the water Is
pure The summer boarder is helpless be-
fore the threat of polluted drinking water
If served with poorly cooked food he can
enter a protest and secure reform, or,
falling he can pack up and leave. No
great harm has been done. But If the
water is impure he does not know it until
the germs of disease have done their work.
Then sickness comes later In the season
and the family returns to Washington and
typhoid is fought and the capital is ac-
credited elsewhere with being the center OF
the Infection
Last autumn when that disease ragged
here 1t was the belief of the authorities
and the physicians that a large majority
of the cases came from out of town. I'm
doubtedly some came from local sources.
perhaps polluted water. perhaps infected
milk. But the fact of the foreign source
of the bulk of the cases could not be dis
puted.
The intending summer emigrant should
require assurances of the purity of the
water supply as first qualification. Such
assurances should be offered indeed by
the proprietors OF resorts. They can be
had. and in such terms as to afford posi-
tive guarantee against the reception of dis
supply. OF course, 1t is impossible for
hotel or boarding house keeper to insure his
guests against typhoid If they will wander
forth and drink from any spring or well or
wayside stream they may encounter.
There need be no hesitation about going
of catching" typhoid. There are plenty
of places where absolutely pure water is to
be had. Furthermore 1t is always possible
to require the filtering or the boiling of the
water. And while the summer exodus is in
course the stay-at-homes should be careful
to continue such precautions as were OBJ
served last fall and winter, and by boiling
or altering the water or drinking special
waters reduce the chances of receiving the
germ to a minimum. Typhoid is an avoid
able disease If proper care is exercised.

the old days of militia training command
ing officers and drill masters were wont
to instruct their recruits in the method
of marching by calling out ''hay-foot,
straw-foot, hay-foot, straw-foot," until the
pumpkins, with hay and straw tied upon
their feet. could without stress of mind
respond rhythmically to the drum. 1t is
possible that the authorities have some
scheme in mind? Can they be thinking OF
drilling the park policemen in squads and
instructing them as to their rights and
lefts by calling out "green-leg, brown-legY'
Perhaps the green clothes are chosen for
use in creeping through the bushes to
stalk offenders on the same principle as the
khaki suits of the regulars, to approach
most closely to invisibility. But unfortu-
nately a part of the time the park police
men are on duty out in the open and are
conspicuously in evidence. Their invisible
green" is f1agrantly apparent. Moreover 1t
does not blend with the trees and shrubs.
Nature in her most eccentric moments
never mixed such tint on her palette.

Great Dates In June.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The anniversaries of two events of COM
manding Importance in American history
occur close together this week. One Is that
of Washingtons acceptance from the CONT
mental congress Of his commission as COM
mander-in- chief, here in Philadelphia on
June 49, 1775, the day before the battle near
Boston in which the continental army was
practically dedicated to the war. The other
Is the evacuation of Philadelphia, three
years later. by the British army, that had
occupied the city since the preceding au-
tumn. and its pursuit into New Jersey by
the army Of Washington who all that win
ter had remained in camp at Valley Forge.
1t was early in the morning Of June IS,
1778, that the evacuation began. That very
day Allen McLane rode into PHILADELPHIA
The next day the continental army was on
the march. leaving at Valley Forge memo
ries that will never be effaced from the his
tory of liberty and of heroism.

Correspondents whose letters are printed
today urge that the green uniforms of the
Washington park policemen are an abom-
ination in the sight of the community.
Complaint on this score has previously
been entered and it may be assumed that
at least a few of the citizens feel deeply
on the subject. Certainly their Indictment
of the color of the official garb of these
watchmen is justified on the grounds of
art The cloth, they furthermore aver. is
so badly dyed that it fades quickly into
variety OF hues. so that sometimes one
trouser leg may be sickly green while the
other is russell brown. Now 1t is Ger.
tainly unfair to these men to carry the
principle of bifurcation as far as this. In

Fourth Of July Casualties.
From the Chester pa, Republican.

AS the Fourth of July approaches, the
occurred at Darby, and q second accident
fortunately did not result seriously. Boys
should be warned against the toy pistol
Death turks in the blank cartridge in the
hands of children. and no sensible mother
or father should permit a boy to possess
pistol. There are other forms OF amuse-
ment less dangerous and out Of which Just
as much fun can be extracted.

Washington Statues.
From the Philadelphia Press.

The Mcclellan statue commission In
Washington has done well in rejecting all
the designs submitted for an equestrian
statue of General Mcclellan because they
were all unsatisfactory. There are too
many poor statues in Washington now
and the commission is entitled 10 credit
for demanding the best that can be had.
