ADMINISTRATION AND MILES.

A GOOD DEAL OF ATTENTION is
y being paid by eastern newspapers
TO the curt dismissal of General Miles
by the war department. 1t is pointed
out that it has been the invariable Gus
tom, when the commander Of the army
has been retired, for the order OF re-
tirement to contain at least a few com
mandatory words. Comparisons are
made between the Miles retiring order
and the order retiring General John NJ.
schoheld, General Miles immediate
predecessor.
OF General Schoheld the order said.
N part. Lieutenant General Scho-
held's career furnishes to the army an
example of inestlmable value, and
Ihould teach all our people that the
highest soldierly qualities are built
spon the keenest sense Of obligations
belonging to good citizenship"
Absolutely all the Miles. order said
Mas:
by direction OF the secretary OF war,
The retirement from active service by
(he president, Aug. s, 1903, of Lieuten-
ant General Nelson A. Miles by opera
lion of law, under the provisions of the
act Of congress. approved June so, 1882,
Is announced"
Not a word was said about General
Miles long service, his devotion to
duty, his heroism in the civil war and
In numerous Indian campaigns. But,
after all, why should anything have
been said by the war department in
praise Of General Miles? The record of
that gallant fighter is well known to
ais countrymen. Nothing the president
II the secretary of war might have said
would have added to his reputation,
lust as none of the little WEAKNESSES
hey were guilty of in connection with
General Miles lowered him in the es-
TEEN OF the public.
We all know quite well, too, that if
L commendatory order had been issued
Il would have had false, a hypocrit-
lcal note We all know President
Roosevelt and Secretary Root do not
think highly Of General Miles, and il
was really unfair to expect them to
say kind word for him. In refrain
Ing from doing so they have simply
made it impossible for a charge OF
hypocrisy to be laid against them.
So. viewed by and large. there is nc
occasion for all the rumpus some OF
General Miles friends have been kick
Ing up about the matter.

SHOULD KNOW ENGLISH.

7 UDGE GREGORY Of New York is
an official that other judges who
have power to make citizens out Of
aliens may pattern after with profit to
the country. In the opinion of Judge
Gregory, no man who is unable to
speak the English language has any
business becoming a citizen Of the
United states. He announced this rule
I'm a naturalization case the other day,
and he proposes to follow it literally
In an opinion he said:
Il viii not naturalize any person who
comes before me and is unable to speak
the English language sufficiently TO
make himself understood. will COM
pei them to answer questions regard
ing their age, place of nativity. time
when they arrived in the United States
and any other questions which / deem
essential to good citizenship. And Il
they fail TO make satisfactory answers
win refuse to grant them the neces-
sary papers. When a man has been
in this country five years and is unable
TO talk our language. in my opinion he
is not fit to be admitted to citizenship,
and I viii act accordingly"
\ very large majority of the citizens
of the United States will heartily agree
with Judge Gregory. 1t is true that a
knowledge Of the English language is
not a legal prerequisite to citizenship
but it should be, and judges unques-
donably have the power to refuse cit
izenship now to those who cannot
speak English. Indeed. # is not certain
that the trainers OF the naturalization
laws did not take it for granted that
candidates would be able to speak the
English language.
For instance, intending citizens are
required to subscribe to the principles
set forth in the constitution of the
United States. II Is difficult to see how
they could acquire a knowledge of the
constitution without knowing at least
n little English. True. they might hear
It read in their own language and so
acquire some understanding Of the con
sHtution. but such a process would be,
to say the least. unsatisfactory. And
a scant knowledge OF the constitution
is not all that is necessary to good cit
izcuship.
Immigrants should have some idea
Of American government before they
are permitted 20 vote. The average
American boy OF &c knows a good deal
more about American affairs than the
average foreigner who has lived here

papers. Yet the notion of permitting
a boy CT IS years Of age to vote would

TT IS DIFFICULT to contemplate
L with anything but amusement the
plans which Chicago man is alleged
20 have under way for drawing cleo
trical power from the heavens. a dis
patch from the Illinois metropolis
gravely announces that Professor A G.
Whitney is planning to transport
cannon to Pixies peak and from there
TO fire vertically into the air thirteen
inch steel magnet, which shall pass be-
yond the atmosphere Of the earth and
there remain forever.
We are told that a wire viii be at
tached to the magnet, one end yf this
wire falling to the earth. According
TO the dispatch, limitless quantities of
pure electricity will be drawn through
this wire for transmission by cable and
otherwise to power stations all over
the country and used in turning the
wheels of factories. mills, heating ana
lighting plants. Professor Whitney IS
said to be sanguine that his scheme viii
work out successfully.
Asked for details of his wonderful
plan, Professor whitney is quoted as
saying: THE projectile used viii be
pear-shaped and viii weigh about $50
pounds, requiring 500 pounds of smoke
less powder. Attached to the magnet
will be a wire coil ninety feet long,
held in place at the end by a disk. In
side the projectile viii be a carbon
burner, so arranged that at the proper
height it will remove the disk from the
bottom of the coil and permit the
twenty-three miles of wire enclosed to
drop to the earth.
The projectile which I shall send
into ethereal space will, after passing
beyond our atmosphere, assume a con-
clifton of absolute inertia. inherent in
itself 1t will no longer be a part OF
this earth, but will be an independent
body floating, as the earth floats, in a
sea Of electricity, just as two bodies
Of different size, having the same spe-
cific gravity as water, eaa aoat in the
water beneath its surface without col
lidiNg with each other. What we call
ether, which is supposed to fill all inter
planetary space. is electricity"
There is a lot more stuff of the same
kind. but the rest is unimportant. OF
course, there was no foundation fol
the dispatch. The story is the creation
of some clever liar. Whoever the fakeI
is, though, he seems to have overlooked
one important detail. The professor
claims that he viii overcome the law
of gravitatiOn with his projectile, to
which is attached a coil of wire which
is to be loosed and fall to the earth thu
moment the projectile reaches the de-
sired point.
Now. how is he going to make thai
wire obey the law of gravitation whil5
his projectile def1es it? A little ligh-
on this point would be received will

FREE WASHINGTON TRIPS.

4 GRATEFUL PEOPLE may yet

other fitting object in honor of Marcus
A. Simmons of Guthrie. Oklahoma Ter
ritory. In the goodness Of his heart
Mr.. Simmons, who is described as a
retired capitalist and inventor. though
the two don't often go together, wants
every man, woman and child in the
United States to pay at least one visit
to the national capital
Now, though a capitalist himeelf Mr..
Simmons knows very well that all of
us are not capitalists. He knows, too,
that great many of US live so far
away from Washington that the ex-
penses of the journey would be very
great-greater. indeed, than the ma
jority could afford. Accordingly he has
evolved a method of avoiding this diff
fculty. To that end he. has prepared a
bill for which he is asking COMPRESSION
al support.
The proposed law provides that con-
gress shall appropriate to every citizen
of the republic, at some time during the
life Of said citizen, a sum sufficient to
enable him to make the journey to
Washington with comfort, even ele-
gance. The measure further provides
for a stay Of several days in Wash
irgton at the expense of the govern
ment. A bureau of transportation is
proposed, as we'll as such other ar
rangements as would make everybody
happy.
Truly Mr.. Simmons would be a great
public benefactor-at the expense OF
the government. Those OF US who dom
want to go to Washington-and there
may be a few such-might take the
money and go somewhere else with it
At any rate, everybody would be sure
