The Spirit Of Lawlessness.

baltimore Is determined to have
quiet celebration Of tho Fourth OF july
1905. The president of the board OF
Police Commissioners has given out that
no form of fireworks will be permltted,
and that sky rockets, Roman candles and
bombs will all DO prohibited undcrYtlh l
rule. The police will be instructed to
carry out the order to the letter.
This will be great disappointment to
the boys. but the boys have only them
selves to blame. If they were all conser-
syatiye and consderate in the use OF fire
works on the Fourth Of July, no ohjec-
ton would be raised, but whenever IN
any CITY the ordinance against fireworks
is suspended for a day. some of the boys
are sure to turn privilege into license and
to run riot It is no wonder that Bait
more has found 1t necessary to take
action against such abuses, and all other
cities will In time have to do likewise
But this sort Of abuse Is not confined
to boys, for men are only boys grown
m and whenever there is any relaxation
of the law, there will be found any num-
her Of men in the community to take
advantage Of the occasion and give vent
to the pent-up lawlessness within them.
There is an exhibition of this trait
whenever there is In any community q
general strike. There Is abundant evil
dence of it in Chicago to-day, and there
was abundant evidence OF 1t In Richmond
during the street car strike two years
ago. In this city, the strikers for the
most part behaved well and were not
guilty of acts of lawlessness, but there
were many outsiders. calling themselves
strike sympathizers," who committed all
sorts of lawless acts, not, as we believe,
because thcy were specially sympathetic
with the strikers but because they loved
snort and took advantage Of the occa-
sion to indulge In riot.
1t is the same spirit that prompts
many men to tako part in lynching bees.
1t is sport Of strong flavor. and the more
enjoyable because 1t 10 in defiance of
law Every such occasion rallies and
yitalizcs tho lawless element, and hence
1t is that those. who appreciate the value.
Of law and order and the danger and
Generalization OF mob rule can never
afford under any provocation. to partici-
patio in or to countcnance any form Of
lawlessness.

Christian Science untouche ed.

Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
SIr.-Kindly preInt me tho courtesy OF your
columns to comment very briefly on yester-
days dispatch from New York on Christian
Science The display of headline and position
accorded that itenl and the eager interest
1t excited ut the breakfast tuble and on tho
street. speak volumes for tho prominence which
Christian Science occupies In tho public gaze.
The many friends OF Christian Science in
Richmond. however need be under no appre-
henBion. 1t Is simply tho oft-told tale OF dis
appointed ambition OF tho rule or ruin variety.
"1f l cannot run the church to suit myself,
Will run myself out OF It, and as many moro
as my jaundce may affect"
Besides all this, there Is @ very clever
advertizing scheme involved.
q BY all means read the perfervid doctors
book. but business Is business" and Tho
Times Dispatch would do we'll to collect the
usual advertising charge for the space occu-
pied
In conclusion will venture two assertions:
II this ripple on tho face OF harmony had
occurred In an orthodox church. It would not
have reached beyond tho church walls; and
II the good Doctors publishers had not had a
book to unload upon confiding public. the
valuable space OF The Times Dispatch might
have been more usefully employed.
Very sincerely yours.

| Henry Knox. In 1850 an act was passed
| organizing the War Department under
| tho Constitution, which, by the way, only
indirectly recognizes the departments OF
| the executive branch. Knox remained at
the head Of the new department. and con-
| tinued his work of administration. The
| act of organization gave the War Depart
ment jurisdiction over all naval mat
tors. then of slight Importance. Nothing
in tho way of naval construction was
undertaken until 1894 when SIX frigates
were ordered, addition ships being after
ward bought and built and In 1873 the
United States boasted a navy OF twenty
two ships. IN that year Congress recog-
nized tho need Of mn additional depart
men, and created that for the control
Of naval affairs. under the appropriate
titlo Department Of the Navy. Inas-
much as the naval work had been a.
very slight item In the work of the war
Office under the old organization, no one
seems to have thought 1t necessary or
desirable to change the title OF that
department., and 1t has 80 remained to
this day." ISL
But that is no reason why a senseless
and unfortunate designation should be
retained. a correspondent Of The Times
Dispatch takes the same view IN the
following communication:
Editor OF Tho Times-Dispatch,
sIr,-There ought to BIO such q con-
currence with you in your objections to
tho title of War Department of our
Federal Government as to induce
speedy change.
IF a war were pending, 1T would be
War Departments: but so would the navy.
In time of peace, 1t would be n depart
ment for the prevention Of war and OF
preparation for it. But In these tho
navy will also be involved. Tho Navy
Department is we'll and distinctivelV
named. But War Department is neither
Its opposite nor its complement. IN
deed, 1t embraces the. navy, which is as
much department MS war.
You propose Military or Army De-
partmcnt. Military would be too broad
and might include tho navy, as the pres
cnt title does.
Tho proposed designation is the ARMY
Department." In time of peace, rs well
as war, our government is bound to have
both an army and Il nnvy. and for proper
and efficient administration, each should
have a department entitled after itself.
Both tho War and Navy Departments
oro constitutionnlly under ono headline
President. How would It do to have one
"Department OF National Defence" with
two divisions, as at prcsent-the army
and navy? NJ

Ing. Captain Braxton said:
Stanton. Virginia, situated as 1t Is IN

in the State. The town Is, and has been
for some years past equipped with all
the Improvements OF a modern city. and
In this respect 1t has all Of the ndvan-
tages of a large city and none Of the
disadvantages due to a crowded popula-
ton. The surrounding country is bcuuu-
full and rich, and in both respects is un-
surpassed by any country in tho Emitted
States. All parts OF the county OF Au-
gusta, OF which Stanton Is the county
seat, Is well watertd by healthy running
streams. making the entire county su-
perlor one for stock farming. both horse
and cattle, and for the raising Of hny
Ind grain. Altogether Stanton and the
surrounding country is pleasing in every
way to any one seeking u home. either
in a growing and prosperous town or IN
