A dispatch from st. Petersburg,

Work at the local Nixon yard of
taking apart the remaining torpedo
boats is now being rushed as fast as
possible and it is expected that they
will also be on their way to Russia

Morals, Fear and Honesty.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS--.Sr: The size OF a
mans salary does not determine his moral char

OF his conduct Honest conduct is the result OF sew
eral factors OF which moral character is only one,
and small one at that. The amount of absolute
honesty In man Is Understandable and Is negligi-
OF men is uninsurable, as you would soon discover
" you ever bonded street car conductors who were
not required to register fares. Honesty OF con.

Now, granting that moral character Is, as you

Col. Knox and "Somebody."

Col. EDWARD M. KNox's experience
in attempting to obtain a contract from
the Police Department, the details OF
which were told in THE SUNS news col
umns yesterday, was Illuminating and
Instructive; but the story, unfortunately,
is incomplete. His bid was the most adj
vantageous for the city of all that were
submitted, but the contract included
specifications with which it was impos-
sible for him to comply. Col. KNOX says
he was informed that he should see
somebody" when he called attention to
the unjust provisions of the contract.
He declined even to ante.
This story would have been even more
interesting had Col. KNOX consented to
see somebody" Whom should he have
seen? For what? When? Where?
1t may be that Col. KNOX threw away
an opportunity. To play the part Of a
detective is repugnant to gentleman,
but there are times when good citizen
may lay aside his more delicate feel
ings for the sake of the object to be
attained

The Installment Campaign Book.


The Hon. GEORGE F. PARKER, Chief
of Literary Department. is issuing the
Democratic Campaign Text Book on the
installment plan. The installment re
leased" to-day contains various matter
about the Philippines. For example:
The wants of the average native are few, He
consumes no malt distilled liquors, eats but little
meat his diet consisting chiefly OF rice and nsh his
clothing while suncient for decency Is scant. con-
ssting OF pantaloons an undershirt and comblna-
ton of shirt and coat worn outside OF the pants-
looms and hat made OF native grass. The ordinary
Filipino goes barefooted"
There must be some battle cry here,
but we can't hear It. Is it Beer and
Independence for the Philippines or
"Shoes, Shirts and Self Government for
the Philippines? Is "a combination
of shirt and coat" forbidden by the Sher-
man Antitrust law?
Some mysterious campaign mate
rial lies in the apparently harmless as
sertion that since le4l there has been an
average of at least one destructive earth
quake every twenty years Mr.. PARKER
ought to prove that imperialism has in
creased the number Of earthquakes.
Page 2l2 teaches us that as the Ameri-
can army was withdrawn, the sale OF
malt liquors decreased. Is this an attack
on the army, or the Filipinos., or beer?
Mr.. PARKER might have released this
installment earlier. 1t is not violent.

Eloquence Eslick.

The Hon. JAMES B. FRAZIER, Governor
OF Tennessee, "excoriated President
ROOSEVELT" last week. So we learn from
the Nashville American, whose report Of
the Governors able effort gives no de-
tails as to this decortication. Fortu-
nately, a speech made at Memphis by the
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT EsLIcK, DEM
ocratic candidate for Presidential Elec-
tor, is fine specimen, not only of ex-
coriation, but of Inflammation and high
oratorical fever. Among Mr.. EsLIcK's
urbane descriptions OF Mr.. ROOSEVELT
were these:
That insane and unrlghteous man who keeps
his court in the White House.
THE spendrft of the people substance.
The thing and creature born Of assassination"
This sort Of thing is little strong for
Northern ATTITUDES, at least before Octo-
Der, but presumably Mr. EsLIcK knows
how to fire the Southern heart" We
have seen him bite. Now hear him after
o preliminary scratch and low growl. He
purrs sweeter than summer:
Instead OF that lean. hungry looking millionaire
OF Hoosierdom. iSapped to you for the election OF

ming close to the little republic OF Andor-
ra, the terminals being AK and Ripoll
This route involves separate tunnels on
French and Spanish soil and will bring
Toulouse and Barcelona closer to each
other
1t would be more satisfactory, OF
course, and would give greater hope OF
actual accomplishment, to hear that only
one of these plans had been taken in
hand. With France to prod her, and
French capital to aid, Spain may, never
theless, do her share in great under
taking and may then be reused to pro-
vide her part of the trade that these

Tunnelling the Pyrenees.

When Spain, by the loss of her colonies
in the late war, was walked out Of the
dream that her past greatness still lived,
her friends hoped that she might at last
turn her thoughts to developing her own
natural resources. 1t is pleasant to find
that she has got 80 far as to plan, at least,
a great engineering undertaking. From
Engineering we learn that the Pyrenees
are to be pierced by tunnels, no less than
three lines being projected. The general
scheme is twenty-five years old, but
political reasons have stood in the way
even more than engineering and financial
difficulties.
The Pyrenees are a solid barrier be-
tween France and Spain, two Powers
which, in theory at least, stand upon
an equality. Whereas, in the Alps, the
peculiar political position of Switzerland
does away with military danger, and
makes the tunnels effectively neutral,
save in the case of the Mont Cents bore,
military theories could be brought to
bear against every Pyrenean tunnel. So
far these have prevented any serious
effort to undertake the financial and
engineering parts of the scheme, Spain
is now on very good terms with France,
however, and seems, besides, to under
stand that she will be unable to stand
alone in war for long time to come, So
the obvious economic advantages have
put into the background all military
app!=:ensions.
Toulouse is the French centre on which
all three routes converge 10 the west

ish Jacc, the nearest large towns being
Pau and SaragossI respectively. 4. 1t will
require an International tunnel nearly

to cost about 2o,ooo,o0o pesetas each
Government to pay half. In the centre
is the @Salau route, between Saint Girons
and Lerda. The tunnel passes near Mount
Maladetta, will be nearly five and half
miles long $3.50 metres), and will cost 23,-
1000 pesetas. The French side will be
moro expensive than the Spanish To the
