The Field of Politics.
Virginia May Go Dry.

There is a great deal Of talk in Vir-
ginia about the temperance wave that
seems to be sweeping the whole State
and the possible result that 1t may have
on the next election. II is conceded
that the liquor men are at odds with
the Democratic party as at present con-
stituted, and should they throw their
weight with the Republicans there may
have to be many more seats recorded
to that party when the next General AS
sembIy convenes.
The Mann bill was a distinct victory
for the temperance people. and though
it was not as drastic as they wished,
still il embodies their ideas of the cor
rect legislation in regard to the liquor
traffic The Legislature was flooded
with petitions IN favor Of the bill, and
it was supported by many members who
were personally against the measure,
but were influenced by the belief that
their constituents demanded its enact
mept.
How far the current will go before ii
turns back can only be guessed, There
are some who believe that Virginia will
be a prohibition State, but before this
is brought about it may be that the
pendulum will swing far in the other
direction. The local option people are
hopeful. but the opponents point to the
fact that there have been seares be-
fore without any disastrous results.
The temperance movement apparent
ly is gaining strength. a week does not
pass that some new section is not ad-
ded to the territory controlled by the
'drys' DanvilIe's thirty-three saloons
have been put out of business, Wythe-
Vile has gone dry. Ashland and a
whole district of Hanover county follow
ed suit A number OF other sections are
hanging In the balance. and thus far
Charlottesville is the only place where
the movement failed.

ing still figures in the code of social
ethics in Belgium. it has become wholly
obsolete in the Belgian army.
He adds that whereas up TO 1889 duels
among officers were frequent, none has
taken place for a number of years past.
He ascribes this change entirely to the
system Of courts of honor fnaugurated
by royal decree in April. 1889. Each
regiment has its court of honor elected
for a year by the officers OF the corps.
and its reports on the questions sub
mftted to 1t are referred through the
commanding general to the minister of
war and to the King for final decision.
OF course. it Will be argued that regi-
mental courts OF honor are quite as much
a recognized institution In the armies OF
Germany and Austria as in that OF Bel
GUM, and the question will naturally be
asked why these tribunals should prove
efficacious in putting a stop to dueltng
in one country, and not in the other
The answer is very simple. The Belgian
courts Of honor take the ground that an
officer can accept an apology, and that
the latter constitutes sufficient atone
ment for affront save in very exeep-
tionaI cases. The German and Austrian
military courts OF honor. on the other
hand. take an opposite view, insisting
that no apology is adequate. and that a
duel and the shedding of blood can alone
afford the necessary satisfaction TO the
injured or insalted party.

OutqroWn Street Plans.
We Should Profit by the Mistakes Of
New York and Philadelphia.

In New York the city government
is seriously considering the modifca.
ton Of long outgrown and obsolete
street plan. As plated IN 1907 the
streets and avenues Of Manhattan
seemed to offer scope for har-
monious and practically unlimited
municipal development. But far-see-
ing as was the vision of the street
commissioners of that day, it failed
TO measure the growth of q single cen
fury. In less than 100 years New
York has expanded far beyond the
limits Of the North, East, and Harlem
Rivers, and finds itself eramped.
choked, almost imprisoned, within the
rigid hines Of growth and communica-
ton drawn for it in 1907. It needs
more streets, wider streets, more spa
cious breathing places, and additional
biseeting avenues.
In Philadelphia the same cry is
heard for relief from congested street
conditions. The city authorities want
to enlarge the plaza in the midst of
which the municipal building is set,
and to construct a modern boulevard
from the City Hall northwest to Fair
mount Park. They also want to cut
some conveniently bisecting avenues
across Philadelphia's monotonously
rectangular street plan.
It is fortunate for Washington that
it does not have to struggle with the
awkward and costly problems Of re
construction now confronting both
New York and Philadelphia. len
fant's designs for the National Cap
ital were happily drawn on a scale
which two full centuries could hardly
grow up TO. He clearly foresaw the
requirements of a city such as Wash
ington must some day be-the seat of
government Of a people, not Of FIVE
millions, but of two hundred millions.
Thanks to his faith and his imagina-
ton, we are still, after a hundred
years, only beginning to I'll in the
lines of the splendid ground plan he
struck off for us.
But we can find a useful lesson IN
the efforts Of less favored municipal
ties like New York and Philadelphia
TO repair the blunders Of their origi-
nal street plans. We will suffer here
after as they are suffering now if we
allow ourselves to be diverted on pleas
Of economy and expediency from a
faithful adherence to L'Enfant's far
sighted scheme. Economists like
Mr.. Cannon may rail at the efforts of
the Mcmillan Park Commission to

California Fit for Hustlers.
A Wedding at the Raleigh.

/ B NJ. Steinman, OF Sacramento. Cal,
is registered at the New Willard for a
flew days. He Is accompanied by Mrs.
isteinman, Misses Lillian and Eta
Steinman and Irving Steinman. The
party arrived in Washington yesterday
I on sightseeing visit and will remain
here for several days Mr. Steinman is
one of Sacramento's prominent citizens
and thinks there Is no State in the
United States quite as good as Califor-
mia and surely there is no city in that
State as fine as his home town. He said ::
Every year, people from the East
arrive in my State TO make their resi-
dence there. It used to be said that
California was made up OF invaiids but
this IS not the case. While It Is great
place for persons in declining health IL
! is place OF golden opportunities for
hustlers. I do not know of a man who
has gone TO California to make money
who has left the State and returned to
his former home unless he Is not one of
the kind TO hustle. We have Fasteners
come out there who expect to pick gold
nuggets as big as oranges of the trees.
When they find these nuggets are OBJ
tanned only by hard work, they prepare
at once TO get back home. Politically,
the State is at rest The President =

ljetced visit of the nations Chief Exec

Royalty Afflicted With Deafness.

Deafness is so prevalent among Old
World royalty as to endow with a new
meaning the old saying about a states
man or eourtieF having the ear Of the
sovereign" One OF the best looking
princesses now In the matrimonial mar
ket is Alice of Battenberg, who has just
made her debut at the court Of her
grand uncle, King Edward VII. Indeed,
she is very beautiful girl. but she is
stone deaf. ana all attempts to cure her
OF this affection have resulted In failure.
She is the eldest daughter Of Prince
Louis OF Battenberg. director Of the
intelligence department OF the British
navy. and her mother is the eldest sis

PROTESTING AGAINST
POWER OF SENATE
Representative Mccall Says i Is a
Menace to the Country.

The address of Representative Samuel
". Mccall. Of Massachusetts. before the
Outlook Club at Montclair. n. j.. few
nights ago, in which he said the United
States Senate IS a menace to the country
has occasioned little, If any, comment
among members of Congress IN wash
ington- Representative Mccall endeav-
ored TO prove the great danger that con-
fronts the Government because Of the
power and the influence OF the members
of .he Senate.
To prove his assertion as to the danger
at hand Representative Mccall cited the
case Of the Republic OF Venice He IN
sisted people everywhere should size up
the true drift Of things. as we are now
really the most undemocratic govern
pent on the globe because of the great
and growing power of the Senate.
Representative Mccall asserted that
more than fiYe-sixths Of the people are
represented by the minority OF Senators.
He claims it is possible TO pick out
fifteen States which have less than g.
600 900 population, less than that OF the
State of New York The Senator'S of
these states can hold up legislation, de-
feat a treaty, or disastrously affect
legislation.
II New York had as many Senators
IN proportion to her population as Ne
vada, the Empire State would have
three hundred and fifty. Mr.. Mccall
argued that the Senate holds central
position in our Government. and en-
croaches upon the rights OF the House,
and even on the executive functions OF
the President. He insists the great
power OF the Senate is utilized TO give
greater power 20 that body
Mr.. Mccall also said the policy Of the
Government is formulated by a small
ring, composed usually Of prominent
members Of the Senate who stand close
TO the leaders OF the party in power
The membership of all prominent and
important commissions, he declared, is
chosen from the Senate with the sole
object III view Of stopping progress IL

leaders.

In fact, many Senators are inclined 10

stitution would have to be adopted 20

In Defense of Mr.. BaIfour.

|
There is no man in English public life
who by common consent OF friend and
political adversary is more honorable
and high principIed than Arthur Balfour,
prime minister Of England This state
ment might seem superf1uous, and in the
nature of painting the lily, were it not
for the fact that certain scurrilous ele-
ment of the press in the Old World is
making capital of the discovery that he
is a shareholder in the London and Globe
Company, and that at the time when,
on February 19, speaking in the house of
commons as prime minister, he repu-
dated the idea that a prosecution of
Whitaker Wright was either feasible or
expedient. he was IN possession of q
thousand shares of the company's stock,
which he had acquired in September,
1899. in the heyday of Wright's financial
vogue.
Arthur BalfOuT purchased the shares in
the regular way, buying them from a
man of the name OF Farnes, who in turn
got them from Lubbock, who in turn got
them from Henry Labouchere, NJ. P, of
all people in the world. And there is
certainly nothing improper for a member
of parliament or a'member OF the gov
eminent. or the prime minister himself,
to buy shares and to invest his money
In any company that he sees ft.

But passing from the playful mood
into one more serious, it may be per

Payne refuses to heed the suggestion
of General Bristow to suspend GER

be understood as throwing obstacles
IN the path Of General Bristow, and
does he fancy that he is rendering
loyal service TO the Administration of
Theodore Roosevelt by placing the
character of the pending inquiry

An Unfortunate Mistake.

But when the premier delivered his
speech on February 10, discountenancing
the prosecution of Whitaker Wright, he
did so in language which gave both par
lament and the country to understand
that he was entirely disinterested in the
matter It would have been far better
for him to have announced at the time
that he himself was one of the share
holders of the London and Globe Com
pany. and consequently one Of the losers
by its collapse. He would have thereby
disarmed' criticism. But his suppression
of the fact was a mistake, and extremely
unfortunate, since it has given a pre-
text to the more scurrilous element OF
the Old World press 10 call into ques-
ton his sense of honor and his integrity.
