Burglars entered the house of DR..
Mark Hayter last Friday night and
stole 81 from the Doctors trousers

Missionary Work in the soudan.

Lord CrOmer and Sir Francis Wingate

schools there on the distinct under

among the pagan tribes south OF Khar-
toum, notably at Fashoda. but was
barred in the Moslem district IN lati-

fanaticisn.

An Anti Splitting Law.
Mr.. mcfarland Deserves Great Credit
for Efforts to Obtain One.

Mr.. mcfarland Deserves Great Credit
for Efforts to Obtain One.
We heartily commend Commission
er Macfarland's crusade against the
sidewalk splitter. Clean and attrae-
tive as Washington's outward aspect
is-inviting and wholesome as are the
surroundings in which we live-we
are still subject to the reproach of
not abating one public nuisance
against which other American munich
palities have been waging a vigorous
and successful warfare We have no
ordinance or regulation forbiddng
expectoration on the city sidewalks
Ii is not Commissioner Macfarland's
fault that a regulation of this sort Is
not already IN force. A year ago, at
the suggestion of the District Health
Officer, he drew up a law putting IN
operation here restrictions and penal
ties drawn from the codes of other
cities. But at that stage the project
ed reform halted. 1t failed to com
mand the approval of either Commits
sioner Ross or Commissioner Biddle.
This year Mr. mcfarland is again
urging the enactment of an anti-spit-
ting law. But he finds Colonel Bid
die still indifferent to the crusade
against expectoration, while Mr..
West, who has succeeded Mr.. Ross, Is
disposed to think that the friction and
annoyance caused by an enforcement
of the law would far outweigh the
practical advantages gained by its en-
actment.
We believe that Mr.. West greatly
overrates the friction and annoyance
an anti-spitting law would cause.
Sanitary regulations of that sort be-
gin, after a brief trial, to enforce
themselves. Expectoration III the
street ears stopped as soon as the
public realized that it was a danger
ous as well as an offensive practice.
In the same way splitting on the
sidewalks would cease after a few
arrests had been made, and the
knowledge had spread that the Gus
tom was under taboo. Public opinion,
stronger than judge or policeman,
would soon see TO il that the new reg
ulation was obeyed and respected.
We need not argue the advantages
of the law Commissioner mcfarland
contends for. Every consideration
of public health and public cleanh-
ness eommends il, and we are certain
that no one will long regret the hard
ships which its enforcement may tenn
porarily cause.

The Panama Treaty..
Mr.. German Right in Urging a Modifi-
cation of It's Rhetoric.

We cannot but think that the Dem
ocrnts of the Senate. under Mr.. Cor
mans leadership, scored a point on
Secretary Hay when they demanded
a recasting of the language of Article
~ of the Isthmian Canal Treaty.
That treaty seeks to arrange the terms
on which an American waterway can
be built and operated through Colon
bian territory. 1t is a compact which
concerns the United States and Co
lombia alone 1t calls for no general
definition of this country's attitude
toward the republics to the south
OF US
Yet il has been made by its trainers
a vehicle for the superAuous asser-
ton tlat The United States disavows
any intention TO increase its territory
al the expense of Colombia or Of any
of the sister republics of Central or
South America but. on the contrary.
it desires to strengthen the power of
the republics on this continent and
70 promote, develop, and maintain
their prosperity and independence"
1t was argued by Democratic critics
Of the treaty that declaration Of
policy, 50 sweeping and so academic
in character, should never have been
injected into mere waterway con
vention with a single minor South
American power. Pledges like this,
so generalized, so unrestricted, invar-
iably return to plague their authors.
According to the language of the
treaty, the United States announces
It's purpose to develop and maintain
the present independent sovereignty
Of each and every South and Central
American republic. Each state is
10 be guaranteed not alone against
European aggression, but against the
assaults provoked OF unprovoked-
of its American neighbors. This Is
an Interpretation Of American policy
both immature and stsrtling-a Tel
lerization of the Monroe Doctrine at
which conservative opinion justly
balks.
The amendment prepared and urged
BY the Democratic caucus follows

though Cincinnati is a Republican city.
there is said TO be a strong possibility
of the election Of Mr.. Ingalls, Senator
Foraker at least seems TO be alarmed.
for he calls upon Republicans to stand
by their party. declaring that the Gin
cinnati election is one OF national i'm
portance. and he is unwilling that they
should divorce national questions from
the local contest and vote as they see
mt for mayor. This is what he says:

that this is the beginning Of the great
campaign OF next year. which is to de-
termine the Presidency Republicans

the theory that only municipal business
affairs are at stake should note that al

Large Battleships.
Constructing Them the Policy of All
Great laval Powers.

II any Justification were needed for
the decision of Congress in favor of
bigger battleships rather than smaller
ones, II would be found in the fact
that. with the single exception of ia
pan. all the great naval powers of
the world arc making the same de-
eision.
Russia, for instance. is building
l6,000-ton battleShips. which CORE
spond exactly in size 20 those Just au-
thorized by Congress. The French
are building ships of $1,000 tons.
As Tor the English. they have been
building ships of 1880 tons. but the
new proposals submitted TO parlia-
ment call for vessels which will dis
place no less than $4,000 tons and will
be the largest men-of-war ever con-
structed. Only twenty years ago
England's first-class battIeships had
a displacement of about 10000 tons,
but the program of construction has
advanced steadily in the size of the
ships called for, until the monster
type of the new program has been
reached
The armament of the new ships
will be the heaviest ever mounted on
a British man-of-war They will
carry four l2-ineh guns, eight %
inch, and ten or twelve G-inch. and
viii mark as great an advance upon
ships of the King Edward class as
those did upon their predecessors.
The armor protection viii be better
than that of the King Edward class,
and practically the whole hull will be
sheathed IN mail. The speed of the
ships will be nineteen knots, or little
more.
A very slight consideration of this
program will suggest the folly to
which Congress would have commit
ted this country if it had sanctioned
the relatively small battleships pro-
yided for in the Senate amendments
to the naval appropriation bill.
