He Abolishes presenting Arms"


The French minister of war, Gen
aral Andre, is one of the best abused
men in France because Of his recently
announced purpose to promote equal
ity in the ranks of the army. To fur
her this object he has recently abol-
lshed the custom of presenting arms
As mark of respect. He is accused
Of fostering socialism in the French
ranks and of deliberately following
out policy of religious and political
persecution. He condemned to two
years hard service in the ranks sixty
Polytechnic students who rebelled
against the severity of an examina-
ton. General Andre is a great favor
ite with the common soldiers. He be-
gan life in the army as a lieutanant
in the imperial guard.

A GERMAN OPINION.

man who is referred to by a con- temporary as "a distinguished scholar and student of economical and politi- cal questions. from Germany" has been expressing his surprise that the Amer ican people show sympathy with Ja- pan. and here is a portion of the ar gument he uses:
 Suppose such trouble should arise and suppose the Japs should land troops on the Western coast of the United States; what would you do about 1t? How could you prevent the landing of troops, and once landed, how could you deal with such a foe?
 This distinguished scholar has prob ably been experimenting with moon- shine. Such a contingency as he indi- cates is too remote for serious con- sideration. The supposition that the Japanese. if successful in the war now engaging all their energies. would be- come SO arrogant and conceited that they would invade the United States Is absurdly ridiculous. This country will treat Japan just as she will treat all other foreign nations, and we see no more reason for expecting an invasion from her ttHn from

statement by Mir. RagIand.

Editor The Advertiser:
 In viewNo of the strictures against this company and myself uttered by some of the members of the Council in meeting last evening I wish to make the fol- lowing statement:
 Yesterday morning I was requested to appear before a Committee from the Council and did so. I was told that practice of storing cars on Bainbridge Street at night. I explained that our barn Is now inadequate for our require ments and that we had under way ne- Committee realized that as each car must be inspected and overhauled ev- cry night it would require time tQear- range to place the cars elsewhere 1 was asked how much time would be necessary and I suggested that wo be allowed until November 1, after whicn time no cars should be left in Bain- bridge Street, and six months in which to provide a suitable barn for Vhe housing of all cars.
 The Committee considered this req sonable and offered to report on it fa- vorabiy if put in writing and made binding on the company.
 It was then agreed that might con fer with MT. Tillis and report to Mir. Jackson. Chairman of the Committee: at 4 o'clock. All of this I did, and I promised MT. Jackson to have the writ ing at the Council meeting that even ing.
 Every minute or my Jlmo was OCCu- pied, but at few minutes past eight l telephoned to the Clerks office, Please say to MT. Jackson that I am now starting with the paper he wants
 MT. Jackson came to the telephone and to my astonishment stated that the Council had met at 7:30 instead of o'clock and that the matter was all ready up. I offered to go immediate ly but he stated that he would make my explanation to the Council. and that I need not attend as the meeting was about to adjourn.
 This company fully realizes the ne- cessity of a larger and better barn and the only reason that 1t has not already secured one is that 1t simply could not do everything at once.
 People who observe. and are fair minded, will admit that the company has not been idle, and that vast im- provements have been accomplished under the present ownership; and the fact Is that a car barn has been on the list for months.
 A street railway doing business with everybody can hardly hope to please all It must expect abuse from ene- mics. but the great majority of people appreciate effort and their encourage ment is refreshing. But from the oth- CT class even the employees must come in for a share of cheap villification.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER ', 1904.
AN EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEG-
 ISLATURE.

The question of holding an extra ses- sion of the Legislature has become acute in the last week. The decision of the Supreme Court in declaring the Lusk Judiciary bill unconstitutional has brought about this situation.
 The Advertiser has very carefully read a great deal of the discussion on the subject in the newspapers. weigh ing all that has been said on both sides. It has been slow in expressing its opinion, partly because it's own mind was not clear and positive as to the sit uation, and partly because it believed that a precipitate declaration in favor of the session would be construed in some quarters as an indication merely of Montgomery's selfish views.
 As matter of fact not single per son in politics or in business in Mont gomery has appealed to The Advertiser to speak on the matter. But from va rious parts of the State requests have come to this paper to take a stand In favor of an extra session, and not one of the contrary sort
 The Advertiser, therefore, has very carefully considered the matter. and it has come to the conclusion that 1t is for the best interest of the State and of the Democratic Party that the session be called, and these are its reasons:
 First and foremost, is the confusion in the judicial circuits of large part <,F hA Gfaf foll the Lusk law by the Supreme Court. The new arrangement under that law was, for the most part working well. The change back to the old regime, or to chaos. as it Is In some cases, means great delay in the administration of justice. further provocation to lynch law, an increased danger of lawlessness of all sorts.
 In the second place, 1t Is probable that an extra session will save the State money instead of being a tax. The tremendous increase of jail costs, re- sulting from fewer courts.~ will before 1907 amount to much more than the cost of the extra session.
 In the third place. there is confusion in reference to other important mat ters besides the circuit courts which should not be left open for three years The last sitting of the Assembly was not long enough to find out and remedy all the defects in statutes resulting from our new Constitution. These things need not be enumerated, but they have occurred to the minds of many well informed citizens. These things should not be allowed to rock on.
 Governor Cunningham. immediately after the Lusk khl was declared un- constitutional, indicated an unwilling ness to call an extra session. It is to be hoped, however. that he will change his mind. The views of leading men throughout the State must present the matter to him in stronger light than he at first saw it. Undoubtedly he wants to do his duty and to serve the best interests of the State, and we are confident that he will come to the con clusion that an extra session is neces- sary. Certainly the "extraordinary oc- casion" spoken of in the Constitution has arisen.

any of the others. Perhaps all of them have a natural feeling of jealousy towards the United States, because we are fast becoming the greatest of all world powers. but that Is no reason why we should expect them. or any one of them, to commit suicide by in- vadins our domain.
 During the entire period of their ex- istence the United States have shown that they are amply able to protect themselves from foreign Invasion. and certainly we have not grown weaker or less able to resent intrusion. If Ja- pan succeeds in her struggle, 1t will leave her so exhausted that many years must pass before she would be in a condition to attack such a boyer as ours. even if she should imagine some reason for doing so. which we see no cause for supposing.
 It may appear strange to a German that Americans are almost universally on the side of Japan in this light, but we see nothing singular about 1t. If we know anything of the causes un- deriving the contest, the Japanese are right and ought to succeed. and as a mere matter of humanity our sympa- thies are with them. We may call Japan a pagan nation and Russia a Christian one. if we choose. and as a mere matter of theory that would prob ably be correct, but when 1t comes to the practice of the humanitiss and what we look on as essential Christian vir- tues. the pagan nation is infinitely above the other The German scholar has much to learn about our people.

WHO IS TO BLAMEs

The Columbus Enquirer Sun discusses with approval the decision of a Penn sylvania judge on the liability of rail- road employees in case of accident. One of the lawyers asked the judge to charge that when a railway employs falls asleep from physical weakness, from illness or from weariness from long hours or steady employment and an accident occurs. the employe should be acquitted" but the judge refused so to rule. and the account adds:
 The judge held that such employe is still criminally negligent and that he should be held accountable for any &C., cident that might occur due to his neg ligence. The court went on to say that If an employe Is unfit for duty he might lose his job for such refusal, es- pecially where the lives of others were at stake.
 Our contemporary argues that this was proper ruling. but was it? We admit that when an employe takes charge of a train. he thereby makes himself responsible for the safety of the train and passengers, but does not The Enquirer-sun know of instances where an engineer has been forced to do double time without rest or sleep the penalty for refusing being the loss of his job? It will be said that he should have refused. even If he were thrown out of employment. but losing job is sometimes a serious matter for employees, and they will take large chances rather than be discharged.
 It must be borne in mind that an en- gineer. for example. is not always aware of the extent to which he is over worked. After making a steady twelve hours run. for instance. he may feel fully competent to double 1t without rest. and when told that he will lose his place unless he doubles back, he undertakes it. Then if nature is over taxed and an accident Is the result. he must bear all the blame, according to this Pennsylvania judge. Would it not be fair and just for the railroad company to bear the blame of an acci- dent caused by forcing an employe to work beyond what nature can bear?
