The British Army and Navy.
The King Finds That the Efficiency Of
the Navy Is Superior.

~%-N -hefy - ~ FE44oA.
King Edward Is reported TO have
been taking a de,:ided interest in the
reconstruction CT the army. and
through Admiral Sir John Fisher
and others has found that the navy
seems to be in a much better condi-
ton for actual service than the
army, though the amount spent on
the two branches Of the service is
propOrtionately The same, and the
navy has had litEle or nothing to do
for long time, while the army has
cen almost constantly engaged in
somewhere. The admiral said
as a rule young army officers

The Capitol Restaurant.
Members Complain That the Fare of
Their Boarding House Is Poor.


Their Boarding House Is Poor
Representative Graf of Illinois Of
fered a resolution on Saturday to
authorize the Committee of Accounts
to see If the House restaurant cannot
be conducted by other methods than
those now in vogue" The proprietor
pays nothing for rent, heating, or
lighting, but the food furnished by
him is described by some of the
members, in language more en-
phatic than elegant, as bum grub"
They say that there is better food TO
be had in outside restaurants. at
prices lower than those of the Capt.
tOl, than they are getting IL their
own pet private lunchroom, which
ought to be the best eating place in
town.
This is nothing new-not very new,
at all events. 1t is al old story that
restaurant keepers and hotel keepers
who do not have to pay rent or taxes
or gas bills or coal bills generally
furnish worse food at higher prices
than those not so favored. The rea-
son of this may be that the favored
ones have some sort of a monopoly
which goes with their job, and take
advantage Of IL, while the outsiders
are restrained from raising prices by
the fear of losing their customers.
At any rate, anybody who has ever
taken luncheon in the House restau-
rant knows that it is not, and never
places for luncheon The proprietor
says he is doing the best he can, but
that there Is no profit in the bust
ness since they stopped his selling
liquors This also may be true; not
being expert in the hotel business,
we do not know.
But some sympathy is due the
Congressman. The public also may
be in need of sympathy if this out
rage continues. It is said that the
Congressman are made so unhappy
by their bum grub" that much ill
temper and impotence and petulance
and bad judgment result from it.
Now, this thing must be stopped. Not
as voters, but as well-wishers and
sympathizers with the voting popu-
lation of the country, and loyal sub
/ jects of the triumvirate which is de-
pendent upon Congress for its abil-
ity TO get US appropriations, we, here
in the District, must sympathize
with the legislators suffering for
proper food. Some of us have more
acute interest in the matter, due TO
the necessity Of taking friends from
the country up 10 the Capitol and
| feeding them in the interval of show
ing them the sights. But the feed
ing Of Congressman is a matter even
more serious. Think what they
could do in a fit of dyspepsia!

1t seems that there is a type OF citi-

pride that; needs TO be revised.

The Commissioners are credited

jects. We think the association is
right. There is no sense In such a
regulation. We do not recall a single
conspicuous instance in which out
side ire-escapes aided people living

fire. These fre-escapes are architec-
tural eyesores, and should be dis
cOuntenanced rather than encouraged.
What is wanted in a tall building IS
a fireproof stairway Of stone properly
protected. II may be costly, but
where human life is at stake mere
cost should not be permitted to stand
in the way Of properly protecting it.
