SELF TO SAVE
BROTHER.
From the Baltimore American

From the Baltimore American.
Railway, n. j., Oct. 20.-Around two
Dromios of Elizabeth, James and Mich
ael feeling, twin brothers, is woven a
story Of jailbreaking, and how one. by
soaring himself with acid and tattoo
marks, sought 10 confuse the authori-
ties and discredit the infallibility of
the Bertillon system of measurements.
In the case of Michael cunning fall
ed. He was arrested, only to escape,
and his brother also is at large.
The story runs thus: A year or so
ago James feeling was sent to the
New Jersey Reformatory, in this place,
for wife beating. He was paroled, but
early in the summer broke his parole
and disappeared. While in the re-
formatory he was measured according
to the Bertillon standard and photo
glaphed.
Last week word was received from
Elizabeth that feeling had been ar
rested. Edward A. Schwartz, who has
charge of the Bertillon system at the
reformatory, was sent after him. The
prisoner protested against his retention,
and denied that he was ever in the re-
formatory. To the ordinary observer,
his description Tailed in every detail
with that of the man wanted.
Stature, face, scars and tattoo marks
were identified, and Mr.. Schwartz was
about convinced, when he discovered a
marked difference in the measurements
of the right ear. This is not our man. -
he declared. The Elizabeth authorities
laughed at him.
Lacking the facilities there for meas
uring, the prisoner was taken to the re-
formatory, though Mr.. Schwartz was
firm in his belief that the man was not
the wifebeater.
The third degree was worked, and
then the prisoner broke down and con-
fessed that he was Michael Telling, a
twin brother of the man wanted, and
that he had made the scars on his body
for mutual protection. Further ques-
tioning brought out the fact that he was
wanted in New Brunswick. He refused
to tell where his brother could be
found.
He was sent to New Brunswick and
put in jail. On Friday night he and
five others escaped, and are still at
large. In the meantime the reforma-
tory authorities are looking in vain
for their star boarder." 1t is report
ed that he has left the country.

THE COST OF EXPANSION.

Judge Parker, Secretary Taft, sena-
tor Fairbanks and others have recently
contributed to the literature of the
campaign their estimates of the cost
of the Philippine Islands TO the tax
payers of the United States. Judge
Parker stated that the cost had been
about $650,000 900. Immediately there
was an uproar in the Republican camp,
and various friends of the administra-
ton came forward with figures intend
ed to show that Judge Parker's esti-
mate was much too high. Among these
was Secretary Taft, formerly Governor
of the Philippine Islands. He placed
the figures of cost at $3.50, 100000.
The disparity between these esti-
mates is quite large. How is 1t pos
sible to reconcile them? There must
be an error somewhere. And yet it
is quite certain that each gentleman
stated what he believed to be the cor
rect figures. But is it not likely that
Judge Taft left out of his estimate a
number of Items that should have been
charged in the Philippine bill of ex-
penses? Hon. Edward Atkinson. the
that to be the case. He thinks, even,
that Judge Parker's estimate was
much too low, and that the Judge
failed to include items that should have
been charged against the Philippines.
For instance, a large naval force must
be maintained in the islands, the force
numbering thirty or more battleships,
cruisers and gunboats. These vessels
represent many millions of dollars.
They are permanently removed from
the naval establishment necessary to
guard home interests. Their mainte-
nance and the pay of their men and
officers represents other millions of
dollars. Ought not these items be
charged up to the Philippines? The
enlargement of the army has been
made necessary by the expansion of
the United States into the Far Pacific
Should not this increased cost be put
into the bill7 Many docks and
Z wharves, and coaling and repair sta
IlOnS, nave Deen CONSTRUCTION IN the
Philippines, being paid for out of the
United States treasury, and an extern
sive transport system has been made
necessary. Are these not legitimate
items of Philippine expense to the tax
payers of the United States?
Mr.. Atkinson has approached the
subject in the spirit OF the expert ac-
countant. and from the best available
information he reaches the conclusion
that American possession of the Philip
pines has cost the taxpayers of this
country not less than 81 ,2O0, 900, 900. And
he concludes: ut would. therefore, APP
pear that the taxpayers of the United
States are paying over 5000, OO0.O 900 a
year as the penalty for attempting the
conquest and possession of the Philip
pine Islands and the effort TO govern
the people under an imperial rule with
out their consent"

PUBLIC oFTIcIAIs ON THE STUMP.

There was a time when Theodore
Roosevelt was, nominally at least, as
much opposed to "pernicious political
activity" on the part of public office
holders as ever Grover Cleveland was.
At that time Mr.. Roosevelt was a pro-
fessional civil service reforner, and
his zeal in behalf of the reform Won
him a position on the civil service COM
mission. But that was long before he
hand any idea that the presidency was
within his reach. Now that he is out
after electoral votes the code of ethics
he adhered to as a civil service re-
former has been cast to the winds, and
Mr.. Roosevelt is gladly the recipient of
the best efforts that hundreds of Of
flee holders are making on the stump
in his behalf.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record enumerates twelve
ambassadors and ministers to foreign
countries who are already In this coun-
try on sixty and ninety-day leaves of
absence, most of whom are devoting
themselves to political work. Besides
these, there are some twelve consuls
at home on leaves of absence, making
the Republican party. In addition half
a dozen other ministers, ambassadors
and consuls have applied for and OBJ
tanned leaves of absence and will ar
rive in the United States in time tn
make speeches for Roosevelt or work
around the polls on election day.
There never was a time in the history
Of our diplomatic service" says the
Record when so many foreign posts
were deserted as there are to-day"
The public business in foreign capitals
and trade centers is being neglected,
in order that the office holders may
PUT in their time at political work for
the administration. Meanwhile an army
of postmastePs, marshals, attor-
neys. clerks and other ofiicials-not to
mention cabinet officers and heads OF
executive bureaus-are on the STUMP
or in the political precincts hustling
for the Boss with the Big Stick in
Washington.
It was Senator wolcott of Colorado
Republican, who in 1892 said 1t was
scandalous how many public officials
Benjamin Harrison had working for
his denomination and election. But
Harrison never had as many public
servants on his personal political stan
as Roosevelt has at present. And the
people are paying the expenses!

The appalling number OF railroad
accidents in this country is causing
the question Of the best means OF pre-
venting them to be discussed.
According TO the record furnished
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion there were $3.50 railroad casual
ties during the year ending June 80,
1904. This is an increase over the pre-
vious year of 233 killed and 1886 in
jured In view of the fact that sew
eral accidents in which the injured
and death lists were large have oc-
CURED since the ending OF the last
fiscal year, it wouldn't be surprising
If this years record should be far
worse than was that Of last year.
It viii be noticed that a big per
cent of the accidents are due to col
lisions. For the year under considera-
ton, that ending June go 1904. there
were 6.436 collisions and 1856 derail-
ments killing LOIS persons and injur-
ing 1924. The loss to the railway
companies by these accidents was 49,
BOB on.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will try again next winter
to get Congress to legislate in
the direction of greater safety
in railway travel. It is stated
that the best thing that can be adopt
ed to prevent collisions is the block
system. About fifteen per cent. of the
railroads of this country are equip
ped with it. The others have hesitated
to adopt it on account of the expense
of operating it. but the expense ought
not to be considered If it will pre-
vent the dreadful railroad accidents
which occur so frequently But, as a
matter of fact. would it cost much, if
any, more than the amount of the losses
of the railroads? The damages re-
sulting from collisions last year
amounted to nearly $10,O0OO 900 and this
does not take into account the sums
that were paid to injured passengers
and to families of passengers who
were killed.
1t is evident that the memories of
engineers and conductors cannot be
depended upon to prevent collisions,
and most of the collisions are due to
officials of this class and to telegraph
operators. They become Indifferent
and careless, and, as a result, human
lives are sacrificed. If engineers, con-
ductors and telegraph operators were
as attentive to their duties as they
are expected to be-a collision would
rarely occur
AS a general thing engineers and
are fairly intelligent men,
and they are very attentive to their
duties when they are first appointed
to positions in the railway service,
but it is not long before they become
and then follow the accidents.
No doubt Congress will be strongly
urged TO require the interstate rail-
roads to adopt the block system. The
roads and their attorneys will be on
hand. The fight between them and
will be a Ifvely one, though
there is no good reason why Congress
shouldn't be successful. Congress re-
qured the railroads to adopt auto
matte couplers. Then why shouldn't
it require them to adopt the block
system, if that system is effective In
preventing people from being injured
and killed on railroads. ~H

Because the judge of the Circuit
Court in Breathttt county, Kentucky,
decided that the granting of licenses
to saloons was illegal and that saloons
must go, the city officers have dis
charged the police force. Is this to
be taken as meaning that policeman
cannot get along without a saloon or
that if the saloon is gone there is no
need for an officer of the law? In
either case, Breathitt county has gone
back on Democracy and given aid and
comfort to the enemy by placing am
