Nothing Like America, says Ira ". Wood

Congressman Ira W. Wood return
! ed home by the Lucania which ar
rived at New York Saturday. He Wis
tied London, Paris, LuZerne, Brus-
sells, Frankford, Carlsbad in Austria,
and many other places in Europe.
To reporter Mr.. Wood gave some ac-
| count of his experiences.
Among other things he said:
Il apprehend that 30 out of every
100 of the American tourists who have
been travelling in Europe during the
past summer return home better
Americans than when they went
abroad They come back, | think it
may be safely said, with greater adj
miration, if possible, for American
enterprise, American resources,
American opportunities, American
conditions of life, American ideals.
They are convinced, if never before,
that the stars and stripes stand for
all that is most inspiring and prom
Using in the developement of modern
life.
"Of course the tourist in couple
of months can only form n superficial
idea of the conditions of working men
that prevail i'll European lands. But
| il requires, | take it, but little dis
cernment or observation, to be salts
| fled that American workiugmen enjoy
comforts and eonveuiences aud II
style of living to which foreign work
ingmen are strangers. A Belgian
senator told mo that skilled workmen
carpenters and masons could make
| in Belgium four or ut most five francs
day-that is a dollar Il day. We
saw i'll the great iron foundries ut
Marieinout women shoyeling red-hot
iron ore, whose wages were two francs
or forty cents day. Women are en-
ployed in Belgium in all the most
arduous forms of labor that i'll our
own more favored land are reserved
for men. All over Europe women are
to be found working in the fields tilling
the soil and gathering the harvests.
In addition to their household duties
are obliged to do on tside work to exc
out n scanty subsistence for the family
receiving perhaps thirty cents day.
Children over twelve years of age
have to go out to work. There is no
such thing in Belgium as compul-
sorry education law. In Ghent. one
of the most thickly settled districts i'll
Europe, the coarse clothing, the
pinched and piqued faces of the peo-
pie. and the general air of poverty
are more eloquent than words rs to
the condition of the laboring classes.

Old Irousides.

correspondent whose letter is printed
In today's issue of The Star offers the
suggestion that "Old Ironsides" the frig-
ate Constitution, which is reported to be
fast disintegrating in the waters of Bos-
ton harbor, should be brought bodily to
Washington and set up in one of the
parks. similar proposition has already
been made with reference to Brooklyn.
The Star has often urged that the ma
tional capital is the proper permanent
resting place of the Constitution. At one
time it was all but voted by Congress to
bring it here and transform 1t into a
naval museum. There was then no idea
but that the venerable relic could be in
definitely preserved floating example
OF the naval architecture of long ago. But
now that it Is feared she must some day
go to pieces the proposition to remove
her from her natural element and estab-
lish her on land acquires some weight.
But is 1t positively assured that the old
ship cannot be repaired? 1t is well under
stood that but little of the original ves-
sci is now left, the repairs having gradu-
ally caused the removal of part after part
and the substitution OF new material
This fact has not diminished in any de-
gree the public love for and interest In

If ships have Souls-still inhabits the

to the reverence which the entire nation
feels for her, and every new timber added
is an eloquent proof of the peoples re-
gard.

The Wonder Worker.

I know a gentle wizard who
Works magic that Is wondrous fair.
A prancing steed he bids me view
In yon unstable rocking chair.
The modest room he makes to grow
Into splendid palace hall,
With great ones passing to and fro,
And we the greatest of them all.
The shadows of gloomy hour
He banishes with smiling skill;
He turns each weed into a flower
And summons fairy folk at will.
And should some evil genius raise
A careworn frown to mar our bliss.
The wicked spell he straight allays
With the conjurement Of kiss.
And still 1 bid him test his might,
And still his loving art complies;
Yet cannot wholly put to flight
The mists that sometimes touch mine eyes
For well know this power will flee
AS flee the swift, relentless years,
And he at last must know with me
The sad reality of tears.

The Reason for It.

From the New York Sun.
This question is from the Rochester Her
aid, and it seems to be propounded with
seriousness and in good faith:
Precisely what purpose had the ruling
authorities of the New York Life Insurance
Company before them when they gave to
the republican national campaign managers
a gratuity of $4,000 taken from the trust
funds of the society,"
Leaving at one side the question of the
moral right or legal power of Mr.. Mccall
to divert to a campaign fund the money or
the policyholders. the answer to the fore
going query is plain enough. 1t appeared
clearly in the testimony.
The precise purpose of the contribution
was to promote the election of Theodore
Roosevelt on gold platform and to pre-
vent the national disaster of the election OF
the candidate of party which had de-
clined. through its representatives In con-
vention assembled. the republican challenge
to declare itself for the maintenance of the
gold standard. Judge Parker's personal
views were announced after his nomination
at st. Louis. The platform of the party
behind him was as silent as the Book of
Job about the maintenance OF the gold
standard-the foremost question then con-
corning the managers of every great finan-
cial institution charged with the protection
of the interests of depositors or policyhold-
ers. That was the precise purpose. and as
q purpose 1t was legitimate, honorable and
highly laudable.

Strenuous Times in Cuba.

The campaign news from Cuba does not
make agreeable reading for the friends Of
the island. Things are far too strenuous
for comfort. Zeal takes the form. first of
epithets. and then of bullets. Bombs. We
are told. have been found in hotel where
politicians had gathered for consultation.
The death by violence of bright young
member of congress is deplorable on every
account, and equally so is that of the
police officer who was killed while in dis
charge of his duty. The presidential cleo
ton Is three months off, and unless both
parties become exceedingly vigilant in be-
half of orderly procedure in the canvass a
grave situation may develop.
And yet it Is all very American. We have
gone through that mill many times Not
so long ago we lost a member of Congress
from Texas in a row at a political meet
ing. He was shot in the town of his resi-
dence In the heat of discussion over cam
paign issues. Meetings with us are often
broken up by rowdy partisans. ACCUSE
lions of skulduggery fill the air. Each
party asks the people to believe that the
other is the sum of all political villainy.
Everything goes in campaign years.
Familiar. too is the charge that President
Palma is using all the powers of his Office
oppressively. not only to insure his own
reelection. but to name at a later day his
own successor. That sort of thing we know
by heart. The fellows in office are always
a laundering lot of chaps. who, although
filed with spoil, are greedy for more. and
frightfully INSCRIPTIONS about ever thing.
Andrew Jackson caught that lash In great
style. and Theodore Roosevelt hears the
swish of II now and then. Mr.. Palma, we
may be sure. is far from being the worst
man in Cuba, albeit his opponents would
invest him with that odious distinction.
The infant Cuban republic is passing
through its first suEimer-a trying time for
infants. If it survives the warm weather
OF this campaign. and the December result
Is Loyalty accepted. everything should be
bright and promising for the future.

The City and Suburban system.

The dissolution of the City and Subur-
ban receivership places that property In
a way to be intimately identified with the
Washington Traction" organization, by
becoming an integral part of the system.
This end is much to be desired. for the
sake of the public. For some years the
City and Suburban lines have been re-
duced to a low standard of efficiency
through the financial embarrassments in
herited by the present owners from the
former management. Infrequent cars
have, on two of the three branches of the
road, discouraged traffic and deferred
development of the suburban area they
tap. The congestion on the Maryland di-
vision of the road, that running out as
far as Laurel has been at times such as
to endanger life. The public has not been
accommodated in the manner which 1t re-
quires, and there has been for several
seasons a distinct feeling of Impotence
with the conditions, while the patrons Of
the line have realized the legal difficulties
in the way of the infringement and de-
velopment of the property.
Now, however, the road has been
brought to point where it can earn it's
expenses and reduce it's accumulated
debts, and it energies from the hands of
its early Improvement. 1t is well recog-
nized by traction authorities that BUSH
ness follows betterments, and it is to be
said for the majority owners of the City
and Suburban that they have deplored
the complications which have prevented
them from bringing the service up to
standard.
An early Incorporation of the City and
Suburban with the traction companys
properties, SO that there need be no fur
Their segregation of receipts and expenses
and no question over the transfer privi-
lege, will make for public confidence and
gratitude. Such an amalgamation should
be followed by prompt improvement in
the schedules, so that there will no longer
be half-hour intervals on any line of. cars
feeding important and populous suburbs
OF Washington. In any case there should
be enough cars on all these local lines to
insure decent and safe accommodations
and to prevent the dangerous and dis
gushing >overcrowding that has marked
the service on the Maryland division of
the City and Suburban for several years

methods OF the departments and bureaus.
The field Is broad one and the members
of the investigation commission have regu-
their occasional leisure hours to this Inn
portant task assigned them by the Presi-
dent. At the present rate it may be two
or three years before all Of the bureaus
have been fine-screened in the search for
bad methods and dangerous practices.
1t would seem to be wiser. IL there Is
a suspicion that the departmental methods
are not what they should be, to put the
matter into the hands of commission Of
unofficial experts men trained in the work
OF examining accounts, or even officials
who are relieved of all other duties. Such
inauistors should not be hampered by their
routine work while they are engaged in
ascertaining whether the public Offices are
being run on strictly business principles.
1t should not have required much time
or thought. however, for any business man
to decide that there was dangerous pos
sibility OF leakage in the public health and
marine hospital Office. Yet the condition
that permitted a heavy defalcation there
had continued for long time. A false
sense of security had prevailed. The man
in charge seemed honest and was evidently
SO regarded by his superiors. 1t is the
most supreme folly for any business man
to presume that his money handling subor
dinates are unquestionably honest and that
they need no checks. Yet the process of
demonstrating this fact is proving weari-
some and costly.

whether there is any disposition at WASH
ington to question the advisability of the

There are arguments for and against such
combination of states. The government
of Panama is compact and easily handled.
1t embraces the territory Immediately ada
cent to the canal zone, and 1t is greatly to
the interest OF the United States to have
to do with the least possible chance of tur-
MOL within this area. 1t Is q question
whether these two peoples can be associated
under a single government without friction.
On the other hand. one strong state is more
to be desired than two weak ones One of
the chief menaces to South and Central
American prosperity and peace is the fact
that the land is divided into a large num-
Der of independent governments: none save
Mexico. Brazil and Argentina being large
and powerful enough to maintain a state
of stability for prolonged period Again.
fact in favor of the coalition appears in
the reminder that a large portion Of the
people of Panama, living in the northern
end. have always considered themselves
Costa Ricans and not Colombians, their
territory having been awarded to Colon
ba by a Spanish boundary dispute award.
Thus annexation may in one sense allay
rather than excite friction.

Panama and Costa Rica.

The proposition that the republics of Pam
anna and Costa Rica unite as one state Is.
of course. of intimate concern to the people
of the United States But there Is no oc-
CASTOR for anxiety on the score of the pos
sible effect upon the canal interests of this
government. The treaty with Panama,
thanks to the foresight OF Secretary Hay.
by whom 1t was chiefly framed, amply pro-
tects the United States In this respect. In
Article "a OF the treaty is the following
provision:
mo change either In the government or
IN the laws and treaties of the republic OF
Panama shall without the consent OF the
United States. affect any right of the
United States under the present convention
or under any treaty stipulation between the
two countries that now exists or that may
hereafter exist touching the matter of this
convention.
This relates pointedly to the possibility
OF changes within the Panaman govern
ment. whereas another clause In the same
article relates to the chance of just such
a coalition as that now proposed
eff the republic of Panama shall hereaf-
ter enter a constituent part into any
other government or into any union or con-
federation or states, so as to merge her
sovereignty or Independence in such gov
eminent, union or confederation. the rights
of the United States under the convention
shall not be in any respect lessened or im-
paired
This clause virtually gives the United
States the right to veto any arrangement
for annexation or coalition which does NOT
fully guarantee Its interests. Thus It Is to
